Chapter 377: The Assassination Case of No. 25 She
Seocho warned Mantou and the rickety old man not to trouble Tao Dasheng, and the two who were already cowering in the corner were so frightened that they wanted to get into the wall.
Seeing the two craziest and most terrifying prisoners in the prison, like a little lamb in front of Seocho, Liu Shicheng was immediately relieved after being stunned for a moment.
Sure enough, this woman is not an ordinary character!
Otherwise, how could he be fascinated by Mu Yirong, who was a little proud, and he didn't even want his beautiful and excellent daughter to be automatically sent to the door.
But this just fulfilled a beautiful conversation between his daughter Liu Qingyan and the eldest prince, and when his daughter becomes the queen of a country in the future, let Mu Yirong regret it!
When he resigned from Tao Dasheng, Mu Yirong saluted slightly to Liu Shicheng, saying that there are many strange places in this case, and Tao Dasheng is very likely to be wronged, and hopes that he will be given two days to investigate, and in these days, Tao Dasheng will not be arraigned.
Liu Shicheng nodded with a slightly embarrassed expression, and told Mu Yirong to arrest the murderer as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night and cause trouble to the eldest prince.
When I got out of the gate of the Criminal Department, I saw that Lao Li was already waiting at the door, and the body had been examined, so I asked Mu Yirong and Ruicao to go back to Dali Temple to listen to the report of the autopsy results.
Mu Yirong realized that there might be other things, so he temporarily put aside the matter of visiting the Fu Inn, and returned to Dali Temple with Ruicao with Lao Li.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the yamen of Dali Temple, Mu Yirong saw Mu Jingzhong, who had not yet changed into his court clothes.
It was Mu Jingzhong, the secretary of Dali Temple, who appointed Lao Li to go to the Criminal Department to guard Mu Yirong and the others, and wanted to inquire about the specific situation of the killing of scholar Zhongju.
He said that this morning, the courtiers who supported the second prince and the third prince joined forces to attack the eldest prince by taking advantage of this matter, and the early dynasty followed up the general noise of the vegetable market, so angry that the current saint was furious, warning the three princes and the courtiers who stood in line that his position could not only be passed on to his son.
As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked, and the huge Daming Palace was silent for a while, and the needles could be heard.
If you don't pass the throne to the prince, today's saints are not cultivating immortals and their brains are broken!
Besides, if the throne is not passed to the prince, then to whom can it be passed?
Could it be passed on to the beggars who beg on the side of the street?
Some people who like to be whimsical and have not very good brains can't help but start to be complacent, thinking with hope that if they behave actively in front of the current saint, will Emperor Xuanyuan be happy and pass on the throne to him.
And those who have clear brains and fast brains immediately think that in addition to the three princes of the Xuanyuan royal family, there is also a nineteen emperor brother who is favored by today's saints.
Today, the Holy Lord intends to pass on the throne to the very unreliable Nineteenth Prince Xuanyuan Yang, which is unlikely!
Mu Yirong felt that this was just a moment of anger and angry words spoken by the saint today, and he couldn't take it seriously.
Mu Jingzhong, who thinks the same way, said that although they think so, some people don't think so.
At that time, all the courtiers who had been shocked fell to their knees almost at the same time, shouting long live, and persuading Emperor Xuanyuan bitterly that they must not make the decision to lose imperial power.
Some people even threatened that the fall of imperial power was a move to destroy the country, so angry that Emperor Xuanyuan almost passed the throne directly to the nineteenth prince on the spot.
However, after this trouble, many people realized the new threat, and did not dare to argue for the position of the prince as presumptuously as before, and tried to go to the nineteenth prince to find out if he had any thoughts about the throne of imperial power.
The seemingly calm court is actually more chaotic, Dali Temple Qing Mu Jingzhong is worried that the death of scholar Zhongju will cause greater riots, and he hopes that Mu Yirong and Ruicao can solve the case as soon as possible.
Also, because of the death of a candidate, the court made such a big noise, and he always felt that something was not quite right.
I'm afraid that the death of scholar Zhongju will involve something big, and if it is not done well, Dali Temple may suffer.
After listening to this, Mu Yirong told Mu Jingzhong that he and Ruicao met not long ago, with the victim scholar Zhongju, and the suspect Tao Dasheng, who is now in the prison of the Criminal Department. Based on his understanding of Tao Dasheng, Tao Dasheng may not be the real murderer.
Hearing this, Mu Jingzhong fell into deep thought, and after a long time he said, although he is not afraid of shadows, but I am afraid that some people with ulterior intentions will make irresponsible remarks about their acquaintances with the deceased and suspects, and I hope that the two of them will be more cautious than before in this investigation, and do not make trouble, so as not to cause trouble for no reason and be affected by the fish pond.
Mu Yirong will remember his father's reminder, he must be extra cautious and cautious in conducting an investigation, and a fair example of the scholar will also prove Tao Dasheng's innocence.
Ruicao, who nodded after Mu Yirong finished speaking, said that what Mu Yirong said and thought was her thoughts and attitudes.
When Mu Jingzhong of Dali Temple heard this, he glanced at Mu Yirong and Ruicao in a little surprise, and then showed Mu Yirong a good expression of your kid.
The embarrassed Mu Yirong smiled, got up and saluted Mu Jingzhong to say goodbye, and went to the coroner's room with Lao Li to check on the body of the scholar Zhongju.
Lao Li compared the wound with various cold weapons, and finally concluded that it was a dagger. However, unlike the dagger that Seocho used to fight, it is shorter, and it is an ordinary dagger that can be bought casually at a stall on the street.
Before the victim's death, there were no signs of poisoning, and the fatal wound was directly pierced through the heart by a dagger and died.
Scholar Zhong lifted the clothes he was wearing in front of him and was placed on the table on the side, Seocho stared at it for a long time, Mu Yirong couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?"
"I smell a smell of green onions, but it's lighter now. ”
Seocho said, suddenly lifting the shoe next to the clothes, flipping it over, and taking a closer look at the soles.
The shoes worn by scholar Zhongju before his death were ordinary black cloth shoes, with three layers of soles, and they were a brand new pair of shoes, which were stained with some mud and stained the white soles with gray stains.
"Are you hungry?"
Seocho didn't answer Mu Yirong's question, took out an iron skewer used to probe the depth of the wound from the workbox of Lao Li, and began to scrape the dirt on the soles of his shoes.
Some of the dirt on the soles of the shoes was scraped off a little, and Seocho rubbed it with her index finger, then closed her thumb and index finger and rubbed it slowly.
Mu Yirong and Lao Li were both confused, and after rubbing it for a while, they put their fingers close to their noses and sniffed.
Looking at Mu Yirong, who looked at Seocho's serious appearance, he suddenly remembered Seocho's various performances when examining corpses in the past, among which he was most impressed by the fact that they went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion for the first time.
