Chapter 439 put to death
When she screamed, there were footsteps outside the Yuhua store. The imperial guards who had been patrolling nearby had been attracted.
Chi Shi looked at the person who came quietly. Among the people who came, the one she knew on the left was Concubine Ling. As for the person who held her hand and looked frightened, and was called Concubine Tai by the little palace maid, most of them were the so-called Concubine Mei.
"What are you yelling? You're fussing! This is Chi Corps, the number one detective expert in the capital..."
When he saw Chi, Concubine Ling quickly came back to her senses from the shock and scolded the yelling little palace maid.
"She doesn't know Chunlan, how could she kill people? Don't talk nonsense here. Since she is a coroner, she must have a test when she sees the body. You have been with Taipin Mei for so many years, why can't you learn not to panic when you encounter problems?"
The little palace maid was shocked and knelt down on the ground with a thud, covering her mouth, and daring to speak.
Chi Shi narrowed his eyes and it was indeed Taipin Mei.
And Concubine Ling was talking to her.
At this moment, a team of sword guards rushed over quickly. When they saw Chunlan's corpse, they pulled out the sword from their waists and stared at Chi Shi with vigilance.
The person in the lead was about twenty years old. He frowned and said with some uncertainty, "Chi Corps is right? I'm here Xue Yiguan. I've been admiring Daming for a long time... Now someone is dead, and you are the first to discover the dead, so please retreat aside, the sword is eyeless, so that your brothers will not hurt you accidentally."
"Now someone has gone to report the news. His Highness the King of Chu will come soon. Because you are the only one on the scene, you are currently suspected of murdering... Are you a coroner, and you know better than me, and understand that I am doing things according to the rules?"
Chi Shi nodded, looked behind him, pulled out a chair behind the rack, and sat down quietly.
Xue Yi looked at her well-behaved and let out a long sigh...
He had heard of it a long time ago that Chi Shi was extremely powerful and comparable to His Highness the King of Chu. He was a person who fought against a hundred.
As long as he thinks, this mere Yuhua Palace and a mere small team of imperial guards will be his opponent?
Xue Yiguan thought about it and bowed to Concubine Ling and Concubine Mei, "Please wait aside, wait for His Majesty to send someone over."
Concubine Ling nodded, supported the shaky Concubine Mei, found another corner, and stayed quietly.
Chi Shi withdrew his thoughts and looked at Chunlan's body not far from her.
She had thought it was strange before. Chunlan was slapped on her forehead by a brick. Although her face was bleeding, it was difficult to be fatal based on the size of the wound. So what was the cause of her death?
Chi Shi thought, and looked at Chunlan's head and other parts of her body. There were no obvious fatal scars. Her complexion and lips were normal, and there was no sign of poisoning.
So the only things that are in trouble are fragile and hidden places like the head, neck, or heart. Before she could have time to check it out in detail, Concubine Ling and Concubine Mei led people in.
Chi Shi frowned when his eyes stayed on Chunlan's chest. If he wanted to frame her, why did he have to pull her clothes open and create an illusion of her being anxious?
"Ashi!"
Chi Shi was thinking when he heard Zhou Xian's anxious shouts. She raised her head and looked at the rows of cloth aisles. Sure enough, she saw Zhou Xian and Zhou Yuan, who were rushing over.
Beside the two, there was an old man with a white hair and a blushing face. His beard was not as obedient as the fashionable goat beard now. It seemed to be furry and had a face.
This person should be Lord Guo, the Minister of Justice. Behind Lord Guo’s left was a strong man who looked like an iron tower.
Although both eyes were open, his right eye was obviously broken.
Chi Shi's eyes moved, and when she saw a large wooden box on the back of the strong man's waist, she instantly felt enlightened, "It seems that he is a fellow traveler. Could this be Wang Junzhu of the Ministry of Justice?"
When she had just entered Beijing and was trapped in an inn outside the city by the wind and snow, Zhou Xian talked to her about the four famous coroners in the capital.
It is Su Su from Jingzhao Prefecture, Cui Jiangyan from Dali Temple, Wang Dawang, the old man from the King of Chu Mansion, and Wang Ke from the Ministry of Justice.
At that time, Zhou Xian and her said that Su Su and Wang Ke were both very difficult people to get along with.
Wang Dawang has ignored the world, and Su Su and Cui Jiangyan are both old acquaintances. Now she has finally asked her to meet the last person of these four major coroners.
Wang Ke, however, looked as if he hadn't heard it, bowed to Emperor Zhou Yuan, "Your Highness, I'll go for an autopsy."
Zhou Yuan nodded, and saw Zhou Xian running towards Chi Shi in a hurry, his lips moved, and he didn't say anything.
"Ah Shi is okay?" Zhou Xian trotted over, walked to Chi Shi, and whispered to her, "I've been trapped."
Chi Shi said "um" and looked at Wang Ke with interest, "Isn't it very interesting? I rarely watch other coroners' post-mortems. I just want to quietly, some people have prepared some evidence to kill me."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ke looked up at Chi Shi with one eye, then lowered his head and carefully examined the corpse.
"The deceased Chunlan is the aunt in charge next to Mei Taipin. Today, she came to Yuhua Palace to get the birthday cloth. The death time was within one hour. The deceased's forehead was hit by a brick and his face was covered in blood."
"The collar on the chest was pulled open, and the murderer seemed to be trying to do something wrong..."
Wang Ke was interrupted by Concubine Ling as soon as she said halfway through the words, "So I said, the murderer could not be Chi Junzhuo. How old is Chi Junzhuo? A young man in his teenage years old wants what kind of woman he doesn't want, how could he treat Chunlan..."
"Chunlan is almost the same age as his mother! It must be a shameless old eunuch in this palace..."
Zhou Yuan saw that she became less and less sensible. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the white-bearded old man beside him jumping out quickly like a rabbit. He jumped to Concubine Ling and scolded him sternly:
"So what if you are the concubine? Your Majesty is here. Our Ministry of Justice is investigating the case. In fact, when the harem is talking nonsense, the concubine is not young, so she should be steady! No wonder she taught His Highness Han and cried at any time."
Mr. Guo's voice was as loud as a bell, and he was deafening, which made Concubine Ling's face pale.
When she looked at Chi apologetically, she took a step back and dared not speak.
Wang Ke seemed to be accustomed to Shangshu Guo who was cursing people when he saw people, and he continued calmly, "But the wound on his forehead is not a fatal cause, the real fatal cause of death..."
Wang Ke said, frowned, carefully pushed away the broken hair in Chunlan's ear, touched her head seriously, searched for a while, and stopped and opened the wooden box that was placed aside by the coroner.
Then he took out a strange tool. Chi Shi looked closely and found that it looked a bit like her usual tweezers. Although the shapes were very different, the effect should be quite similar.
Wang Ke took the strange tool and looked in Chunlan's ear for a while, then clamped it hard, pulled it back, and pulled out a long bloody needle...
The little palace maid who was whining before was screaming again.
