Song Dynasty female artist

Chen Wuzuo is not very old, but he has been a working official in the imperial court since his great-grandfather and has rich experience.

Of course he knew that just because of this injury and the fact that there was no craniotomy, it could not be said that this was the fatal injury to the deceased.

But he was threatened before going to bed last night, so he could only say this to save his life.

Now being questioned by Li Shangshu, Chen Wuzuo was sweating coldly: "Back, back to Mr. Li, this is the only wound on the deceased. I think this should be the fatal wound of the deceased."

"Human life is at stake. The mission of the policeman is to accurately determine the cause of death, rather than just relying on your own inferences and guesses. Chen Wuzuo, you have been doing this for five or six years. Do you still need to teach me this truth? you?"

Li Jizhi's words were very serious.

Chen Wuzuo looked panicked and knelt directly on the ground: "Master Li, I know my mistake, I will try again."

Fortunately, Li Jizhi didn't hold on.

Chen Wuzuo would not lose this job. The autopsy was extremely careful this time. Not only did he open the skull, but he also took out the deceased's stomach for poison testing.

This test made me break into cold sweat again.

The skull of the deceased was intact, which means that Yan Shizi only smashed the deceased to bleed, but it was not fatal, and no poisoning was found in the stomach of the deceased.

How did the deceased die?

"Chen Wuzuo, why don't you speak?"

"Sir, I can't determine why the deceased died."

Zhao Shangshu was anxious: "My son was obviously beaten to death by him. You said the same thing just now. Why did you suddenly retort? Is it because you took advantage of some people?"

Chen Wuzuo wiped the sweat with his sleeves in fear.

He didn't receive any benefits, he was clearly being threatened to save his life.

But even if he said it now, Zhao Shangshu would not believe it.

"Master Zhao, the skull of the deceased is intact and there is no sign of poisoning. I really can't judge. I am not being bribed. Please be clear to me."

Li Jizhi: "Since Chen Wuzuo can't be sure, let's ask Zhen Wuzuo, who is posted in the Ministry of Punishment, to come over. Do you two have any opinions?"

Li Jizhi asked about Lu Gongbi and Wang Gongchen.

The two shook their heads, and Li Jizhi asked the government servant who was following him to quickly call Zhen Wuzuo.

We can't let so many people just wait like this. Li Jizhi meant to let these people go back first and then summon them when they need to testify.

But Lu Gongbi and Wang Gongchen disagreed.

The reason is that they are afraid of collusion.

Su Yixin was happy. It had been a day since the incident happened. If they really wanted to collude in confession, there were many opportunities. Why were they worried that they would collude in confession now?

"Mr. Lu, we are just witnesses. No, we just happened to be drinking in the next room and heard some noises. How can we collude with each other to confess? We don't want to see a human life die like this. We will cooperate with the government in investigating the case, but You can’t think of us as murderers.”

Su Yixin's words resonated with everyone.

"That's right, we already recorded the confession yesterday. We can just summon us when necessary. Why did you call us all so early? It will take half a day to delay us. We have something to do!"

"The government cannot be unreasonable!"

Lu Gongbi's face dropped: "Jing Jing, I am doing this because this case is not trivial, so I just treat it with caution."

It was because Su Yixin raised her head just now. Everyone heard Lu Gongbi's words yesterday and knew her identity. With her taking the lead, they naturally dared to express their dissatisfaction.

But they dare not protest on their own.

Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials.

So I focused my attention on Su Yixin, hoping that she would say a few more words. This time Su Yixin didn't say anything, but Gu Qingjue spoke: "Master Lu, what you said is wrong!"

Lu Gongbi:......

"As far as I know, from the incident yesterday until now, no one has gone to the crime scene to check. According to Mr. Lu, he thinks this case is not trivial. Shouldn't he check the crime scene first?"

"Master Gu, I am currently reviewing the case."

Li Jizhi was angry: "Master Lu, you have been an official for several years, don't you even know this?"

Just now in the court, Zhao Shangshu suffered miserably. The officials couldn't bear it and ordered the three divisions to interrogate immediately. They hurried to Kaifeng Mansion. Because Lu Gongbi was in charge of the trial, Li Jizhi did not interfere too much and always cooperated with Lu Gongbi. The pace of the trial is coming.

Who knew there would be such a big omission.

"I'll send someone right now."

"Hmph, I'd better go there in person!" Li Jizhi said to everyone standing in the courtroom: "You go back first. I'll send someone to summon you if you need to go to court."

Li Jizhi angrily took several government officials to the restaurant where the incident occurred.

The two of them followed Li Ji, saying they were going to a restaurant to eat, but in fact they were going to dismantle the defensive formations they had set up yesterday so that they could enter.

It was time to have lunch at the restaurant.

Gu Qingjue asked Li Jizhi to eat first and then investigate the case. One day had passed, and the shopkeeper knew that the incident was serious. When he came back, he locked the private room and told Li Jizhi that no one would enter the private room again after the accident, so there was no rush at this moment, and he still had to eat.

But as soon as Su Yixin arrived at the restaurant, she noticed that someone had moved the formation.

Since the shopkeeper has locked the door, there is no chance of inadvertent entry. The death of Prince Yan is not simple.

After a brief lunch, Li Jizhi came to the private room where the accident occurred. The private room was smashed to pieces due to a fight. There were not many clues available, but Li Jizhi still found clues in the chaos.

"what is this?"

Li Jizhi knelt down and picked up a pure white stone the size of a thumbprint from the broken porcelain pieces.

"This is not something from a restaurant."

Shopkeeper Yue followed beside him and answered promptly: "The private rooms in the restaurant will be cleaned in time after receiving guests to ensure they are clean and tidy, so this thing should belong to Prince Yan or Langjun Zhao."

Li Jizhi nodded and put the things away.

Let the yamen officer check it again to make sure there are no other missed clues before returning to the yamen office.

Zhen Wuzuo has arrived and is conducting an autopsy.

An hour later, the autopsy was completed. The results were consistent with Chen Zuo's results. There were no cracks in the skull and no signs of poisoning. It was really difficult to determine the cause of death.

When Zhen Wuzuo performed the autopsy, Chen Wuzuo was on the sidelines. Seeing that the results obtained by Zhen Wuzuo were consistent with his, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Jizhi and Zhao Shangshu with a little more confidence.

It seems to be saying, right, right? The villain didn't make a mistake.

Not being able to determine the cause of death is a headache.

Li Jizhi took out the pure white stone found in the restaurant and asked Zhao Shangshu and Yan Shiqing to identify it.

Yan Shiqing shook his head after looking at it: "This is not my thing."

Zhao Shangshu couldn't confirm it, so he asked the boy who served Zhao Yongquan to identify it. The boy looked left and right, not daring to confirm.

It was Yan Shiqing who said: "At that time, I took out the Zhu Chai from my sleeve. When Zhao Yongquan saw it, he wanted to grab it. I picked up the wine bottle from the table and threw it at it. There was no struggle between them." (End of Chapter)
