Chapter 37 Drowning(1/2)
"Have you seen this thing before?"
Su Dawei raised the bamboo clip in his hand, and it was not known whether it was green leaves or something, with fine green leaves.
Cheng Daoyi was dumbfounded.
The coroner swallowed his saliva and looked carefully: "It seems...it seems to be some kind of plant green leaves, but I can't be sure."
Su Dawei took advantage of the sunshine that penetrated into the hall and looked at the bamboo clip for a moment.
He reached into his sleeve, took out a clean silk cutlery, and carefully wiped the green of the chuck on it.
This green thing is like duckweed, with very small leaves, and it is impossible to tell which plant it is or whether it is toxic.
Cheng Daozhi couldn't help but say, "Why is this kind of thing in Princess Gaoyang's nose?"
"I find it strange, too."
Su Dawei folded the silk squid, put it back into his sleeve, and then raised the bamboo clip to look.
There are also faint wet marks on it.
"When is Princess Gaoyang's death?"
"last night."
The coroner thought for a while and said, "After dinner."
"After so long, is there any volatile moisture in her nose and the leaves of this green plant."
Su Dawei said, using bamboo clips to lift up some cloth covering the body, squatted down and looked carefully at Princess Gaoyang's hand.
"We have seen Su Shaoqing, the princess's hands and fingers, fingers, and there is nothing special about it." The coroner said on the side.
Su Dawei remained silent.
The room became quiet for a moment.
Cheng Daozhi and the coroner didn't know what he was doing, so he didn't dare to disturb him for a moment. Even the Secret Pavilion Xingjun, who was sitting on the beam of the room, looked curiously.
After about a cup of tea, Su Dawei used a clip to pick up Princess Gaoyang's finger and flipped it slightly.
The deceased's joints had long been stiff and the color was a little blue and white.
Flip your fingers and lift your whole arm stiffly.
"Su Shaoqing?"
"It's all right."
Su Dawei loosened the clip and covered the cover again.
"Why not put the princess' body on the bed?"
"Oh, it was the temple minister who said he should not move first, protect the scene and wait for His Majesty to deliver his order."
Cheng Daozhi was on the side and asked nervously: "Su Shaoqing, is there something wrong with this...?"
Su Dawei's face was as deep as water, and he couldn't tell what was thinking from his face.
This made Cheng Daozhi and the coroner even a little confused. Did he discover something or didn’t find it?
His silence is really unpredictable.
Cheng Daozhi waited aside for a while, and saw Su Dawei standing up, neither speaking nor leaving, as if he was thinking about something there.
He couldn't help but speak, "Su Shaoqing, here is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County. The bad commander of Wannian County is dealing with the follow-up matters. Wannian County Jun is also very concerned about the case. Should you go to their place and verify the case?"
“No need.”
Su Dawei shook his head and refused.
"Then we now?"
"It's enough to keep the scene as it is. I want to enter the palace to ask for your Majesty. You can do it yourself if you have something to do. If you need it, I will call you again."
"yes."
Cheng Daozhi took two steps back and saluted Su Dawei with his hands crossed.
...
"Su Dawei entered the palace and asked to see His Majesty?"
"Why didn't he follow the rules? Shouldn't he go to Dali Temple first and then call the bad coach from Wannian County to ask about the case?"
"I heard that I found something in the princess's house."
"What did you find?"
"I don't know for the time being."
"If I can cause him some trouble..."
"Don't do more unnecessary things, so as not to involve yourself."
"That would be too cheap for him."
"Even if we don't do anything in this case, Su Dawei will not be able to find the murderer easily. If the case cannot be solved within a specified period of time, we will make more efforts with half the effort."
...
The bell leaked and ringed several times.
Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty sat on a cushioned chair, his eyes waving through the remnant fog rising from the hall and fell on Su Dawei's face.
There is complexity in this gaze.
There are both surprises, anger, doubts and scrutiny.
"What did you just say?"
He suspected that he had heard it wrong. Could this Su Dawei really dare to make such a rebellious request in front of him?
Li Zhi felt that the medicine he had taken recently was too good to affect his hearing.
Although I felt much more relaxed after taking the elixirs from Guo Xingzhen, after taking the medicine, I always felt a little confused for a while.
"I said that if you want to solve Princess Gaoyang's case, I beg your Majesty to let me take a corpse and examine it."
"you……"
Li Zhi felt a gust of blood surging in his chest, and his eyes turned dark.
There seemed to be countless bronze bells and drums ringing in my ears, and I was dizzy for a moment.
"His Majesty!"
Wu Meiniang, who was sitting aside, immediately noticed that Li Zhi's expression was different.
He stood up in a hurry, called the palace servants and eunuchs, and told the doctor and Guo Xingzhen to go to the palace.
After a long time of busyness, Li Zhi's condition stabilized.
"No...revealing a word, if anyone violates the three tribes of Yi."
"Here!"
The medical officer, the maid kneeling on the ground, as well as Guo Xingzhen and others, felt the murderous intent, and were shocked and dared not say much.
After Wu Meiniang spoke, she retreated and left the hall one after another.
Looking at Li Zhi who was gathering his mind with his eyes closed, Wu Meiniang turned to Su Dawei, who was standing in His Highness with a calm hand, and her voice was cold: "Ami, do you know what you are doing? You almost caused a big disaster just now."
"May Your Majesty take care of the dragon body."
Su Dawei lowered his head and said with an almost persistent attitude: "But what I said just now is the necessary condition for solving the case. If this is not the case, I am afraid that this case will not be solved for half a month. I beg your Majesty and the Queen to punish the ministers now."
"Ami, you..."
Wu Meiniang's pretty face turned cold, and she was secretly annoyed in her heart that Su Dawei was so ignorant of advancing and retreating.
Seeing that Li Zhi was in poor health, he was still in this solar term.
If Your Majesty has a bad reputation and the prince is still young, who can deal with the situation?
In the past, Wu Meiniang only thought Su Dawei was smart and had a friendship with her in times of trouble.
But this time, she suddenly discovered that Su Dawei was a double-edged sword.
He is not sure, he can understand his own thoughts.
Could it be that he is not bound enough?
Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, and was about to scold Su Dawei and retreat.
At this moment, Li Zhi, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Why do you need to dissect Princess Gao Yang's body? I want to hear your reasons."
Wu Meiniang stopped the words she was about to say in time, looked at Li Zhi, took a few steps back, stood behind Li Zhi, stretched out her soft hands, and gently massaged Li Zhi's temples.
The golden toad furnace at the corner of the hall was spitting smoke into the sky.
The setting sun in the afternoon penetrates out of the window, shining on the misty smoke, like a fairyland.
