"What?" Hearing this, Zhong Jian stood up with a sudden, looked at the criminal department personnel in front of him with a shocked face, stepped forward and grabbed the other party's collar, and roared: "Say it again!" ”

The man's face was full of bitterness, and his voice trembled: "Wei Xiang, he... He's dead! ”

"Who was killed?" Zhong Jian gritted his teeth, his eyes like they were about to breathe fire.

"Since... Suicide. ”

"No way!" Zhong Jian scolded sharply: "If he committed suicide, why didn't he commit suicide sooner or later, but at this time?" ”

"But... We are guarding with so many people from the Imperial City Division, if a killer comes in, not to mention whether we can stop it or not, at least we will know. ”

"But before and after Wei Xiang's death, in the entire prison of the Criminal Department, we were stunned that we didn't even see the shadow of a killer."

Hearing this, Zhong Prison frowned.

He knew that the man in front of him was right.

The people in the Criminal Department and the Imperial City Division are all good at solving cases, and they are all strong in martial arts.

If someone kills someone in front of them, Zhong Prison believes.

But if someone kills someone in front of them, without leaving the slightest trace, and without even the slightest movement, then Zhong Prison does not believe it in his heart.

Unless, the killer never came in at all!

How to kill without physical contact?

The anger in Zhong Prison's heart gradually subsided, and the order in his mind gradually became clear.

After a moment of silence, Yu Yu spat out a word: "Poison!" ”

"Poisoned?" When the criminal department officer heard this, he frowned, and was quite skeptical: "My lord, if it is poisoned, there must be a way to pass on the poison." ”

"Either food, or water, or air?"

"But these days, Zhen Jian's eating and drinking have been strictly checked by us to confirm that there is no problem before giving him food."

"As for the airborne poison..., it shouldn't just be Zhen Jian who died, and we should not be able to escape it."

Hearing this, Zhong Jian nodded and said, "If it is really a poison, it must be some kind of miracle medicine!" ”

"Our discussion here is tantamount to talking on paper, and it is useless to talk more, take me to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the official will personally conduct an autopsy."

A moment later, Zhong Prison arrived at the prison of the Criminal Department, only to find that Li Changkong and Liu Yu had already arrived.

Seeing these two people, Zhong Jian couldn't help but sweat slightly on his forehead.

He had given Li Changkong a package ticket before, saying that he would ensure Wei Xiang's safety and strictly guard against assassins.

Who would have thought..., only a few days have passed, and Wei Xiang died right under his nose.

Calling him this criminal department book is really gloomy!

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The Prison Prison gave up his hand.

Liu Yu turned his head away and ignored him.

Seeing this, Zhong Jian suddenly had an embarrassed look on his face, but he didn't say anything, after all, he was ineffective, and it was normal for the prince to have such an expression.

On the contrary, Li Changkong walked up and said, "Lord Zhong, now is not the time to catch up with the past, hurry up and go in to see the cause of Wei Xiang's death." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Jian nodded, and then casually ordered a few people in the crowd, all of whom were experienced servants.

"You all come with me and do an autopsy together."

The autopsy was destined to be a boring and tedious process, but Zhong Prison and several servants were all in good spirits and did not dare to slack off.

And just like that, an hour later, Zhong Prison sighed and ended the autopsy process.

Seeing this, Li Changkong stepped forward quickly and asked, "What is the cause of death?" ”

"I should have died of poisoning."

"Should?" Li Changkong's brows furrowed, how could Zhong Prison, as an experienced member of the Criminal Department, give such an ambiguous answer on such a crucial matter?

Hearing Li Changkong's rhetorical question, Zhong Jian wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "General Li doesn't know anything. ”

"This Wei Xiang's corpse has no traces of being injured by sharp weapons such as swords, axes, and axes."

"There are no traces of being hit by blunt instruments such as sticks and hammers, and the only possible cause of death is internal."

"And when we dissected his body, we didn't find any obvious poison."

"On the contrary, many organs after failure were found!"

"But... Organ failure should generally happen to the elderly, although Wei Xiang is a eunuch, he is also in the prime of life, so it is impossible for this to happen. ”

"So we preliminarily concluded that he may have taken a chronic poison that causes organ failure before he was imprisoned."

Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded, this explanation is quite reasonable.

"Have you sent someone to Wei Xiang's residence to find it?"

"Wei Xiang's residence is in the East Palace, and it may be convenient for His Royal Highness the Prince."

After going through many things, the Imperial City Department and the Criminal Department no longer have the right to directly search the palaces of the royal family.

"This is easy to say, I will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or you can pick a few cadres to go to the East Palace with us and start an investigation immediately."

"That's great!" Zhong Prison nodded brightly.

……

Moments later, the East Palace.

Li Changkong, Liu Yu, Zhong Prison and several cadres of the Criminal Department and the Imperial City Division brought by Zhong Prison arrived together.

"Wei Xiang's residence was assigned when he first came to the East Palace, and it was very remote."

"After he became the chief eunuch of the East Palace, the palace once said that he would change a better residence, but he refused."

"Now it seems that there is something strange in this residence." Liu Yu said as he led everyone to their destination.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhong Prison's brows furrowed, and he said, "Everyone cover their mouths and noses, be careful, and exit first!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, and Liu Yu frowned frequently.

Why do you cover your mouth and nose? They didn't smell anything special!

Li Changkong did it immediately, and reached out and pushed Liu Yu by the way.

Liu Yu had no choice but to do so.

Seeing that the crown prince and Li Changkong had done this, the rest of the people naturally did not dare to delay, covered their mouths and noses one after another, and withdrew from the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, Zhong Jian opened his nose and took a deep breath, only then did he ease up, and said with a serious face: "Something is wrong in this courtyard, there is a special smell, if I guess correctly, this should be a rare smell poison." ”

"Smell poison? Why don't I smell it, but you smell it? Liu Yu frowned.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't know, there are some poisons, colorless and tasteless, and it is difficult for ordinary people to identify."

"Only a specially trained nose like Chen's can detect the slightest abnormality."

"This poison was prevalent in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the most famous one was called Yan Luosan."

"It is colorless and tasteless, but it is extremely druggic, and the poisoned person will die in an instant."

"Although the poison in this courtyard is not the smell of Yama Luosan, it is indeed the smell of poison!"

Liu Yu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Then how to crack it?" ”

"It's as simple as covering your mouth and nose with wet clothes."

"Most of the odor poisons are ineffective when they see water."
