Chapter 3 3, Military Ships

In this situation, "no clothes" is actually as serious as "dead person".

Yinxing Pavilion is the yard where Jiang Ci lives. As the eldest lady, her yard is spacious and the location is very good. It is good to enjoy the scenery and flowers on weekdays, but today, the three circles outside the place are full of officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Justice.
Jiang Ci knew at the first sight of the corpse that this matter was definitely aimed at him.

She also saw this man in the afternoon, and pushed him into the water with his dirty mouth.

——Chen Rui was naked, lying on his back on the ground, his eyes closed, his limbs in order, his skin was slightly red, and his face was very calm.

The servant girl who found the corpse shrank and said: "When I was cleaning the room, I felt that there seemed to be something under the bed... I just took a look and found that it was a person inside..."

The corpse had already been dragged out from under the bed by the officers and soldiers. Time was running out, so he could only lie on the ground like this.

Mrs. Chen had fainted when she saw the corpse. Mr. Chen's psychological quality is stronger than hers, but his face is like gold paper. He first cried out a few times, then pointed at Jiang Ci, and yelled relentlessly , "It was you! You really killed my son! You killed him! You must have hooked him up."

Jiang Ci's gaze was fixed on the corpse, Jiang Hou Ye's face darkened, and he took the lead to say: "Master Chen, be careful! Why did Mr. Chen appear in our Jiang family? Shouldn't Mr. Chen give me an explanation?!"

"Explain?" Mr. Chen's eyes were tearing open, his eyes were scarlet, and his voice was hoarse, "How do I know if your family is born to seduce my son! He lured him to come to your house secretly, and then you two get together again." Get together and kill him!"

The corners of Jiang Houye's mouth were tense, he looked at Shang Xingchuan who was beside him, but the other party looked at Jiang Ci who had been silent all this time.

Jiang Ci felt strange when he saw the corpse at the first glance. He didn't see any trauma on his body, but if he died of illness or poison, the expression on his face shouldn't be so... Tranquil.

She squinted her eyes, and she already had a plan in her mind.

Master Chen was still muttering, "It must be this bastard who harmed my son...it must be...I will make you lose your life..."

Jiang Ci said: "Master Chen, I didn't kill your son."

Before Master Chen could speak, she defined, "He was frozen to death, and after that, he was moved under my bed."

freeze to death? !
Master Chen said angrily: "How is it possible?! It's not even the twelfth lunar month of winter, and his clothes are gone. It's not that you seduced him, what else?"

Jiang Ci originally thought that he was the family member of the deceased, and didn't want to stimulate his emotions, so he said his words a little more tactfully, never thinking that this person would think about everything.

She sneered and said: "Master Chen, people who freeze to death can take off their clothes. If you don't know, I don't blame you. I don't want to take the opportunity to blame you for your misfortune. It's just that your son is dead. Your point But they still put it on me to slander me, and they don't want to know the truth at all..."

"I don't know if Mr. Chen has a soul in the sky, will he think you are hypocritical and heartless?"

Master Chen wanted to say more, but Shang Xingchuan raised his hand, no matter how sad and angry he was, he could only forcefully shut up.

"Master Chen lost his beloved son, shouldn't he go back and prepare for the funeral?" Shang Xingchuan looked at him.

King Yu had already spoken, Master Chen could only swallow back his great grievances, his eyes were red, but he could only bow his hands and leave first.

After Mr. Chen left, Lord Jiang cupped his hands and said, "My lord, thank you Your Highness for your kindness."

Shang Xingchuan said: "Marquis Jiang, don't be in a hurry to thank - Jiang Ci's suspicion has not been cleared."

Jiang Ci sighed, thinking that he really had to sit in this prison.

Shang Xingchuan fell on himself with probing eyes, and Jiang Ci went in circles between "Go to jail and wait for the truth to come out" and "No, I'd better go back to my old job and go on my own." I chose the latter.

But Lord Jiang is still here, it is not very convenient for her to say anything, so she said: "Father, I know what I know, but I still have a few words to say to Your Highness."

Lord Jiang Hou glanced at her and went out.

This in itself is against the rules, but the marriage contract has not been cancelled, and they are still unmarried couples.

After Jiang Houye left, Jiang Ci said, "Your Highness, I have a clue about the headless male corpse outside just now, but the prerequisite for telling this clue is that Your Highness believes me."

She felt a little uneasy, now that there are two corpses, in order to remove the suspicion, she should quickly ponder the suspicious points on the deceased Chen Rui, but she thought from the perspective of Shang Xingchuan, I am afraid that he would want to know more about the headless male corpse identity of.

The house was empty, Shang Xingchuan looked at her, and after hearing this, he reluctantly raised his eyelids and looked at her straightly. After a long while, Jiang Ci heard him say "hmm".

Jiang Ci wasn't sure what his "um" meant, but felt that Shang Xingchuan might have a language barrier, and it seemed like he would have to pay extra for saying a few more words.

She continued: "That corpse, it is temporarily impossible to identify whether it was a homicide or a suicide, but...he was accidentally dismembered after his death."

After these words were settled, Shang Xingchuan paused, and said, "Accident?"

Jiang Ci nodded, and said: "Liuyin River is an inland river, Daliang has not had a war for many years, that is to say, there should not be any sharp weapon in the river that can cut him into such a body. Logically speaking, his corpse should be Intact, but the results are obvious. I just inspected his body and found strange drag wounds and scratches, large wounds with smooth cut edges, so I think... the cutting tool is the paddle wheel of a large ship."

Shang Xingchuan frowned, "A military ship?"

Paddle wheel, as the name implies, is a paddle steamer. A paddle wheel with paddle blades is installed on the side or tail of the ship, and the shaft of the paddle wheel is stepped on inside the ship by manpower. This kind of ship travels faster and does not need to rely on wind power, but Due to limited productivity, currently only military ships can be equipped with paddle wheels in Daliang.

A body fished up from an inland river was broken by the wheel oars of a military ship.

What happened to this corpse, and who was he?

Jiang Ci lowered his voice, and said: "That corpse is already rotten, if you want to know more, His Highness must allow me to do an autopsy..."

Shang Xingchuan sneered, "Miss Jiang, don't forget your identity."

She is the daughter of the Dingnanhou Mansion, not the assistant of the Jingzhao Mansion.

Jiang Ci was silent for a moment, but then Shang Xingchuan changed the topic, "Miss Jiang grew up in the inner house since childhood, where did she learn the method of autopsy?"

Relying on the fact that the two were not familiar with each other, Jiang Ci started talking nonsense with his eyes open, "It is precisely because I grew up in the inner house with a low reputation that I was able to study in private. I didn't expect to be slandered by others. For my own innocence, of course To prove yourself."

Shang Xingchuan sneered and said, "This king doesn't know that this Dingnanhou's mansion is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Jiang Ci said quickly, "What a surprise, you are so lucky."

Shang Xingchuan: "..."
