Looking at the same name on these several pieces of paper, Ying Wu widened his eyes in surprise.

"How is this possible?" He looked at the dead bone that Jin Miaomiao was inspecting, and then at the name that everyone had written, stammering, almost unable to speak. "This...then...this..."

"You want to say, if this dead bone belongs to the head of the Liu family, then who is the one who sent the people from the Southwest to see me, right?" Xue Ruitian chuckled, "Then why don't you think about it, how do the people from the Southwest know who the Liu family is? Lord, who is not?"

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "Patriarch Liu is just a name at best. Anyone who is the master of the Liu family can be called Patriarch Liu. How do you know that Patriarch Liu is that Patriarch Liu? You How can you be sure that this Patriarch Liu must be a man?"

Ying Wu thought for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case. He really wasn't sure whether Patriarch Liu was a man or a woman, and how old he was now, but the news from Jiangnan didn't mention that Patriarch Liu had died. Passed away.

Hearing Ying Wu's guess, the others nodded silently. Indeed, they had not received any news about the death of the Patriarch Liu, and similarly, they had not heard of the disappearance of the Patriarch.

"It's possible to keep it secret." Jin Miaomiao stopped what he was doing, and waved to everyone when he came back to his senses, "Pause for a moment, don't guess who he is, let's listen to the autopsy first. How about the result?"

"Okay." His Highness King Ning nodded, "Tell me more in detail."

"This is a dry bone, male, aged between 45 and 50 years old." Seeing His Highness Ning frowned, Jin Miaomiao sighed, "If a person has been dead for too long, you can only tell the approximate age, Your Highness Don't worry about it, that's not the point."

"I want to ask you, are you sure his age is between 45 and 50 years old?"

"Of course, this is certain." Jin Miaomiao looked at His Royal Highness Ning Wang, "What did you think of?"

"When this king had an accident, the head of the Liu family was about 40 years old. The housekeeper of the Liu family was an old man in his sixties. He followed the Liu family to the south of the Yangtze River conscientiously. I have seen them, they were not very old, they seemed to be in their twenties at the time, and the oldest one was no more than 30 years old."

"My master..." Shen Haolin frowned slightly, "Show off your might?"

"Can they get out of the house alive?" Shen Cha chuckled, "Leave at most one alive to report the news?"

"That's right, I left a child behind to report the letter, and sent the corpses of those confidantes back to the Liu family." His Royal Highness Ning raised his eyebrows, "Otherwise, why would the Liu family hate Dai Wangfu to the bone? Their faces were trampled under their feet and rubbed hard, which made them lose face in Xijing City, and they even blamed their so-called family ruin on the head of Daiwangfu."

"This kind of person..." Xue Ruitian shook his head, "Fortunately, His Highness didn't marry his daughter, otherwise, the entire palace would probably fall into their hands. However, wicked people have their own way. Isn't his family being punished by Luan? Has the family been annexed?"

"Businessmen's methods and minds are better, and it is reasonable for their family to be swallowed alive." His Highness Ning Wang chuckled, "It doesn't matter anymore. Basically, it is certain that this person It is Patriarch Liu, as to why he is here and who is Patriarch Liu now, I need you to investigate."

"Yes." Shen Cha nodded, "Miao Miao, what is the cause of death? I just took a look at his injuries, and based on my inference, they are not fatal."

"You are right, Xiaocha, this is not the cause of his death." Jin Miaomiao looked at Ying Wu, "You didn't look carefully just now, and you didn't find that the wound was not caused by the same sword, so it wasn't An injury is not what you call a penetrating injury."

"no?"

"Indeed not." Jin Miaomiao pointed to the right side of the dry bone, "Look, the rib injury on the right side looks like a sword wound, but it is actually a knife wound, and it was caused by a short knife a little longer than a dagger. And the wound on the left is a real sword wound. If you look closely, the strength is also different, the sword wound on the right is slightly lighter than the left, and the marks left are not as heavy as the left." She raised her hand First looked at Xue Ruitian, then at Shen Haolin, "If I remember correctly, Uncle Xue used a sword, and Uncle Shen once had a short knife, right?"

"There is indeed a short knife. But..." Shen Cha pulled out the short knife from his boots and handed it to Jin Miaomiao, "My father gave me this knife the day I first came to the mansion, and it has always been with me. body, see if it is consistent with this scar."

Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Haolin, saw him nodding, then looked at the dagger in his hand, carefully compared it with the scar on the dry bone, and shook his head towards everyone.

"There is a difference, it's not this knife." Jin Miaomiao returned the short knife to Shen Cha, "Then..."

"It should be my father and my mother." Xue Ruitian smiled bitterly, "You don't know, my mother likes short knives very much, and has collected a lot. There are about 35 or six short knives of different types. But after she passed away, we After cleaning up her belongings, I realized that two or three short knives were missing. I searched all the places where she might put her things, but I couldn’t find them. It seems to be..."

"These are not important!" His Royal Highness Ning waved his hands, "What is the cause of death?"

"It's poison." Jin Miaomiao pointed to the obvious bruising and black marks on the bones, "This poison is not the common red crest, arsenic, etc. I smelled it just now, and it smelled sour. Rotten breath."

"Well, I remember what you said before, the ripe fruit of the Wangyou tree can be used as medicine, and the immature one, its hard shell is ground into powder, it is a chronic and highly poisonous, right? If someone takes it This kind of powder penetrates into the body little by little, and when it accumulates to a certain amount, the person will be poisoned and die." Seeing Jin Miaomiao nodding his head affirmatively, Shen Cha continued, "Wangyoushu's The fruit can relieve the pain in the south... especially people who live near the sea, who often eat the food in the sea, whether it is ripe or not, it has this effect, right?"

"That's right, what Xiaocha said is right. We can speculate that this person should use the fruit of the Wangyou tree to relieve his physical pain, but what he doesn't know is that someone secretly used it for him. The immature fruit caused the poison to invade his body bit by bit, causing him to be poisoned and died. It just so happened that he happened to appear in Wudinghou's mansion at the time when he was poisoned, and was injured by someone in the mansion, so the murderer This pot fell on the head of Marquis Wuding." Jin Miaomiao smiled at Xue Ruitian who was always nervous, "Okay, this matter, this dry bone has nothing to do with Marquis Wuding's mansion, so you don't have to worry."

"Ok, I……"

"Look, what is this?" Hongye pulled out a seal from between a book case and the wall, and she spread the seal in the palm of her hand, showing it to everyone.

Everyone leaned over to take a look, and there was a square "you" engraved on the seal.
