Chapter 687 Message

The autopsy results looked weird.

There were no wounds or bruises on the surface of the corpse, and there were no minor abnormalities such as fine needle punctures.

From the mouth to the throat, and finally to the stomach, nothing poisonous was found in it, and the food residues matched the dinner the jailer said, and there was no abnormality.

There was no damage to the organs, such as bleeding.

The brain is also normal, no fatal problems.

It was also the reason why the two experienced forensics took more than an hour to complete the autopsy on the scene. In their words: it is too strange to die.

"My lord, this subordinate is incompetent. I have not found any cause of death. Please punish me!" Wu Zuo and the others knelt on one knee, their faces pale. They understood how important this case was, and they seemed to be of no help at all. crime.

Xue Gui read the autopsy results carefully, closed it, put it away, and said in a deep voice: "You are the most experienced and outstanding eunuchs in the Ministry of Punishment. There are probably only a handful of people in the world who are better at it than you. As long as you make a firm judgment It is the basis for us to solve the case. Let me ask you, do you have confidence in the autopsy results?"

"Yes sir! This autopsy result has been repeatedly confirmed by Lao Li and me. Based on our experience, we can't find any cause of death. It seems to be."

"like what?"

"It's like the kind of old people who die of normal old age. But there are differences, at least the organs of Qianwang don't show signs of aging. It's weird." Wu Zuo's face was tangled, and it was the first time he encountered such a strange thing .

Xue Gui squinted his eyes, nodded, pointed at the corpse and said, "Clean up the remains, and find a place to put them separately after finishing." Then he turned to Li Qing and said, "Get someone to watch the corpse carefully, without mine." Warrant, no one can approach."

"The subordinate understands."

After Xue Gui finished speaking, he continued to stay in the cell, watched the corpse being packed up and carried away, and then he wandered around the cell for a long time before going out.

Nothing was found. The cell is full of the normal layout in the special prison area, such as beds, tables, bedding and so on. The only things that can be called special are some of the king's personal belongings, such as a storybook and a jug of half-drunk fruit wine.

Xue Gui was sitting by the bed, raising his hand just enough to reach the books and wine jug on the table, presumably this is how King Qian sat by the bed while reading and drinking wine before he died?

The book is not a book for learning, but a storybook. It's called "Baijiang Evil Beast". Xue Gui flipped through a few pages, and the old-fashioned script told the story of a ferocious beast that could cultivate appeared in the Baijiang River, and this ferocious beast made waves and caused disasters everywhere, and was finally found and beheaded by the protagonist. The ups and downs are quite exciting.

But this kind of books are collectively called idle books, and ordinary readers don’t like to read them, thinking they are of little use, only those who are literate and idle will buy them, pass the time, and treat them as a pastime. Apparently King Qian passed the time in prison by relying on such stories.

Put down the book, pick up the wine again, smell it, a very common mince wine. Wu Zuo has tried it before, it is non-toxic, and it is the same as the wine left in the stomach of the corpse.

At least as far as the current situation is concerned, Xue Gui reached the same conclusion as those two foremen, and he didn't find anything strange.

However, Xue Gui has an inference.

King Qian also has some cultivation. If he remembers correctly, he should be at the initial stage of Qi Refining Realm. Although it is very low, it is still much stronger than ordinary people, so at least there will be no sudden death in terms of body. of ills. This is also confirmed by the conclusion after the autopsy.

It was not a suicide, nor a death from illness. The remaining seems impossible, but it is also the only explanation, that is: homicide.

Someone used some special method to kill King Qian without others noticing. Maybe even King Qian didn't notice it when he was dying? Otherwise, the expression on his face after death would not be so flat and without ferocity.

Wu Zuo is not a monk. Although he has rich experience in autopsy, he knows little about the methods of monks.

In the eyes of ordinary people, wanting to kill a person is nothing more than a sharp weapon, suffocation, blunt weapon, or poisoning. But in the eyes of monks, there are more ways to kill a person. Because ordinary people cannot touch the soul, but monks can, and they can also kill people after destroying the soul, and they will not leave any "traces" in the ordinary sense.

Leaving the cell, Xue Gui went to the cell of the sky prison. In the cell, there were now eight people kneeling on the ground, their faces pale, and the room smelled of urine. It seemed that some of the kneeling people had peed in fear.

"You guys are on duty tonight, tell me one by one, from the moment you step into the sky prison, even if you take a few pisses, you have to make it clear. Let's start."

According to the general situation, Xue Gui does not need to do these chores in person, but this time the situation is really special, and there is no progress available so far, so Xue Gui had to do it himself for the eight jailers who inquired about the prison. No message will be missed.

The eight people said one by one, even Xue Gui didn't let them skip most of the repetitive content, but listened carefully.

According to what these people said and Xue Gui's own understanding of the rules of the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Punishment, there are only eight people guarding the Heavenly Prison tonight besides the outer formation. Four of them were in charge of the other prison areas of the sky prison, and the other four were in charge of the special prison area of ​​the sky prison.

King Jing and King Qian were imprisoned in the special prison area, and there was a barrier between them, so the cells could not interfere with each other.

In addition, there are some rules for inspecting the prison room, which are generally inspected every hour. The food is also made by the prince's mansion himself. After it is delivered, there will be three layers of inspections before it is sent in. Among them, there will be a check by the inner guards of the prince's own mansion.

So after the eight people finished talking in detail, there is actually nothing that can be taken out as doubtful points.

"Who is the person who brought food to King Qian? Only food?"

"It's called Zhang Xiaoliu. He was led by the head of the inner guards in the Qianwang's mansion to file a case in the prison. He has a waist card and soul fluctuations as proof, and it is approved by the magic weapon. In addition to delivering food and drink, he will also send food to the Qianwang. Some story books or a change of clothes." The warden was relatively calm, and quickly answered Xue Gui's question.

"You also know the rules, find yourself a cell. I won't make things difficult for you. If the case is clear, you can save your life. If the case is not clear, you will probably be buried with the king."

"My lord, my subordinates and others understand this truth, but I still ask you to worry about it." The warden understood that the only chance for the eight of them to survive depended on how well Xue Gui could investigate this case.

Of course, there are also people who have been paralyzed by fright, but now they only know how to kneel and kowtow in front of Xue Gui, and they are not very good at speaking.
