I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 411 Where is the fatal injury?
"Bold!" Huo Yu said coldly: "How can you be allowed to flatter others in front of His Majesty?"

"Master Huo, why do you need to be aggressive?" Zhang Shichang said softly: "Neither your Majesty nor the Grand Master has spoken. If you are not feeling guilty and short of breath, why not listen to what Diao Lingshi has to say."

The expression on Yu Jin's face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, but in Huo Yu's eyes, the meaning was unclear. At this moment, he also felt that he had been a little impulsive and it was easy to follow the words, so he stopped talking and stepped aside.

Diao Wei had dealt with dead bodies a lot all day long, and he was already a bold man. Now that he saw the young emperor and several luxuriously dressed ministers all listening to him seriously, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. But life.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, please take a look." He pointed at the left arm of the female corpse and said:
"When a living person falls from a height, he will subconsciously make instinctive protective actions the moment he hits the ground. The result will be fractures in various major joints. But this is not the case with Mrs. Jiang's corpse."

Many things are actually revealed through such a piece of paper, and even a layman can understand them.

Jiang Hai frowned in thought, and thousands of thoughts went through Huo Yu's mind. Even the young emperor thought it made sense and nodded slightly.

For Diao Wei, this slight movement was like refueling in the air. It made his body lighter by three points, his brain became extremely clear, and his speech became much smarter.

"The arm bones, ribs and leg bones on the left side of the corpse are all broken, but they are not at the joints. This situation can only lead to one result - Mrs. Jiang was dead before she hit the ground, and her body had no instinctive protective response. , hit the ground directly, so the fractures did not occur at the joints, but were distributed in various locations! "

The hall became quiet, and everyone was thinking about it. Huo Yu didn't think about refuting, because he understood clearly and knew that what Diao Wei said was correct. But so what? If they thought that this discovery alone could negate everything, then they would be underestimating him too much.

The first one to break the silence was Jiang Hai. His eye circles were already red, and there was a look of grief and anger on his face: "Diao Lingshi, if my son did not fall off the cliff and die, then what was the real cause of her death?"

This is what Yu Jin wants to know. He looked at Huo Yu, who was silent, and then glanced at Diao Wei, who was looking at Zhang Shichang, and he felt more and more interested.

"There are no fatal injuries on Mrs. Jiang's body." Zhang Shichang looked at Jiang Hai's cold eyes and immediately explained: "Grand Master, don't worry, I just asked a doctor to check, and I don't dare to desecrate the jade body of Mrs. Jiang."

When Huo Yu heard this, a sneer appeared on his lips: "I thought Lord Tingwei was confident, but it turned out that he couldn't even determine the cause of death."

"That's better than someone hastily deciding to fall to death and closing the case in confusion." Zhang Shichang counterattacked calmly. Without waiting for Huo Yu to say anything else, he cupped his fists and saluted Jiang Hai: "Xiaoguan and Diao Lingshi have already I have doubts, but if I want to verify it, I need your permission.”

Jiang Hai understood what he meant instantly, but he still couldn't accept it.

The eldest daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible since she was little. Now that someone has killed him, will his body, hair and skin be damaged again?
His face was green and white, and he wanted to kick Zhang Shichang away for making such an unreasonable request, but his remaining sanity and the young emperor standing quietly aside allowed him to slowly The ground calmed down.

"Can Zhang Tingwei explain it more clearly? What are you and Diao Lingshi doing with my son's body?"

"Master Taishi." Zhang Shichang had already thought of this point, and now his voice was rare and gentle: "If it was not a last resort, how could the lower official make such a move?"

"Look here." He said, pointing to a scar on the right side of the body's neck.

"The skin on Mrs. Jiang's right neck was peeled off, and there were traces of subcutaneous bleeding. It looked like fingernail marks. It should have been caused by someone strangling her neck with her hands. So we suspect that Mrs. Jiang died of suffocation. But this is just a suspicion. , if you want to verify, you need to cut the neck open." Huo Yu heard this, and his previous worries were swept away. He even wondered how someone like Zhang Shichang could sit firmly in the position of Tingwei for so long.

"Everyone knows that the face of a person who is strangled and suffocated will have bruises and swelling on the face, and there will be obvious strangulation marks on the neck. But Mrs. Jiang's face remains normal, and there are no other injuries in the middle of her neck. How can it be determined that she has been strangled? Is it difficult? Isn’t it possible that Mr. Zhang has always been a vegetarian in the Tingwei Mansion?" He said righteously.

Yu Jin stood aside with his hands folded in his hands, listening with great interest.

At this moment, he even felt that Mrs. Jiang lying there deserved her death.

She single-handedly caused Huo Yu to completely oppose the Jiang family and Zhang family.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, blaming Shangguan so directly is indeed something that the eldest son of Huo Mansion, the most powerful official in the world, can do.

In front of the young emperor, Zhang Shichang certainly could not accept this accusation.

Not only could he not admit it, he also had to slap the ball back hard, preferably directly into Huo Yu's face, causing it to be bruised.

"Master Xiao Huo has been in Xijing Mansion for a year, but he still handled too few cases." He said in a teaching tone: "I don't know if he was strangled to death in a coma, because there was no resistance and the process was short. , there may not be obvious symptoms of suffocation.”

"Haha." Huo Yu was about to laugh in anger: "It turns out that Mr. Zhang relied on guesswork to decide the case. There were no strangulation marks or evidence of stunning. With just such an inconspicuous injury, His Majesty could... Did you tell a story in front of me?”

Zhang Shichang still looked good-tempered: "Don't you know, Mr. Xiao Huo, that sometimes strangulation can kill someone by just using clever force?"

As he spoke, he specifically explained to Yu Jing: "Ms. Jiang has a delicate constitution and a long neck. If an adult man pinches her, she can cut off the blood vessels and cause suffocation without using the force of the tiger's mouth. I have examined the injuries with Diao Lingshi. , Although the pinch mark on the left side is a little blurry due to the fall, clues can still be found.”

"If the Grand Master wants to find out the real murderer, please agree to the request." Zhang Shichang asked again.

Jiang Hai was still hesitating, but Yu Jin spoke: "Old Master. I think my daughter's soul is not far away, so I definitely want to find the murderer and avenge this blood for myself."

This is equivalent to an order. Even though Jiang Hai still couldn't bear it, he had to obey.

"Then we have Lord Lao Zhang and Diao Lingshi." As he said this, his shoulders and back slumped visibly.

When Diao Wei cut the knife, his fingers were trembling slightly. Although he was following the instructions of the young lady, he had no practical experience and was watched by so many people, so he was inevitably afraid.

But no matter what, he had to cut it with this knife.
