Chapter 440 The Last Meal
"Go to do it!" Xie Wang gritted his teeth and ordered, and a coroner picked up the knife when he heard this, and then walked towards the assassin's body.
After consideration, Xie Wang finally decided to open the body. Although he might have to take a certain risk, it is more important to solve the case in comparison. Moreover, this case involves Zhu Yunyu and Li Jie, so even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he must not give up.
Li Jie and Zhu Yunxiu also stood aside and did not leave. Li Jie had wanted to have an autopsy in person, but considering the seriousness of the case, Lao Zhu would definitely send someone to take over. So in order to preserve the integrity of the evidence, he endured it and did not take action. Now with Xie Wang's consent, the autopsy was more legitimate.
The coroner quickly cut the body open, and even in winter, there was still an unspeakable smell. Li Jie and the other two wore masks. Soon the food in the corpse's stomach was taken out, but it had turned into crumb-shaped, mixed with gastric juice and other smells, which made people feel vomited. Zhu Yunxiu took a look and ran to the outside of the room to retreat.
In contrast, Li Jie and Xie Wang were calm. Xie Wang had been in charge of the case for many years and had seen all kinds of strange corpses, and it was not uncommon to have their stomachs broken. Li Jie had seen the anatomy of the corpse at the Qiuzhen Academy, and had long been accustomed to it.
The two carefully observed the crunchy food and quickly reached an agreement, recognizing that the last meal that the assassin had eaten before his death should be roast duck.
"The roast duck was transmitted from Nanjing to Beijing after it moved the capital. There are many restaurants and restaurants in Beijing that have roast duck. I wonder if it is also common in Taijin?" Xie Wang frowned again and said.
Lao Zhu likes to eat roast duck very much. The roast duck in Nanjing is also very famous. After moving the capital, the roast duck in Nanjing was also spread to Beijing. As the saying goes, if there is something to do with the superiors, the subordinates will have to be even more so, so roast duck is also very popular in Beijing. If the same is true in Taijin, it may be difficult to check.
"Compared to Beijing, there are fewer restaurants in Taijin that make roast duck in Taijin. And if I were an assassin, I would definitely have a good meal before the assassination, so he is likely to go to the best restaurant. As far as I know, the most famous restaurant in Taijin is called Sanxianju!" Li Jie said immediately. He had been in Taijin for a few days and was of course very clear about these situations. Even two days before the assassination, he went to Sanxianju to eat roast duck. He felt that the roast duck he made was quite authentic.
"That's great, I'll go to Sanxianju to check it out in person!" Xie Wang immediately slapped his hands excitedly. Although these were just their guesses, they were a very valuable clue. If you could find the assassin's itinerary on the last day, and even know who he had seen before, the entire case would have been much clearer.
"Okay, then everything will be done by Brother Xie!" Li Jie also bowed to Xie Wang. Since Xie Wang took over the case, he would not have any trouble. After all, Lao Zhu still urged them to return to Beijing, so he had no time to investigate the case.
"You are polite to the prince consort. This case is thanks to the prince consort's reminder. If there is any progress in the case, I will notify the prince consort as soon as possible. Maybe you will also help me with your advice!" Xie Wang also bowed and said with a polite manner. After saying that, he hurriedly said goodbye.
"Brother-in-law, what should we do?" Zhu Yunxi finally recovered, but he only dared to stand at the door and asked Li Jie. He didn't dare to step into the morgue for another half step.
"What else can we do? If we don't go back, your Majesty and the Prince will definitely not feel at ease, so we should pack up our things and go back." Li Jie replied helplessly.
"Where is this case alone? Can it be done with Xie Shaoqing?" Zhu Yunxi asked worriedly. Although Xie Wang looked smart and capable, he still had to rely on Li Jie's guidance just now, so Zhu Yunxi also had some doubts about his ability.
"I feel very relieved about Brother Xie's ability. As long as there are clues, he will definitely find it out, but I am worried about the impact outside the case." Li Jie sighed at the end of his speech.
In fact, Li Jie has always reported a pessimistic attitude towards the case of the assassin Zhu Yun-hyun, because in his opinion, even if the real murderer behind the scenes can be found in the end, the identity of the real murderer is definitely not an ordinary person, and may even have a deep connection with the royal family. At that time, Lao Zhu may block the case for some reason, so that no one will know the truth of the matter, even Li Jie and Zhu Yun-hyun are no exception.
Zhu Yunxi also understood what Li Jie said, and frowned when he heard this. He and Li Jie have been discussing the case these days, especially guessing the identity of the real murderer behind the scenes. However, the more he speculated, the more he felt uneasy, because no matter which assumption, the identity of the real murderer might be that he was unwilling to face.
Lao Zhu asked Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi to set off to return to Beijing immediately, so they did not dare to delay and immediately packed up their things to prepare to return to Beijing. At the same time, their teams returning to Beijing expanded again. Lao Zhu transferred 5,000 imperial guards. You should know that it is only two or three hundred miles between Taijin and Beijing, and riding a horse only takes one day. It is really a big deal to use a large army of 5,000 people to escort it.
However, for the safety of Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi, it is not too easy to be careful. Just when Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi were about to leave Taijin, Xie Wang finally made new progress.
"Brother Li, the guy at Qinhuai Building has been confirmed. I have indeed seen a man who is very similar to an assassin in the assassin for dinner in the assassin!" Xie Wang found Li Jie excitedly and said loudly as soon as he met.
"Qinhuai Tower? Isn't it the Three Immortals House?" Zhu Yunxi next to him couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard the other party's words.
"Sanxianju is just the most famous restaurant in Taijin for roast duck. Although the roast duck made in Qinhuaiou is not as good as Sanxianju, it is also very famous. I believe that Brother Xie did not find any clues in Sanxianju, so he checked other restaurants!" Before Xie Wang could answer, Li Jie next to him said with a smile.
"The prince-consin said it well. Not only Sanxianju and Qinhuai Building, but also famous restaurants that make roast duck, I went to check it out and finally found a clue in Qinhuai Building!" Xie Wang replied excitedly again.
"Have you taken the guy to recognize the body? He is sure he has seen the assassin?" Li Jie asked again.
