The mass graves at night were eerily quiet.

The sound of digging graves was particularly noticeable in the silent night.

However, except for Zhao Yunsheng and the other five, no one else dared to approach this infiltrating mass grave in this environment. Their figures were dragged very long under the moonlight. If someone was unfortunate enough to pass by outside, It was like seeing a ghost.

Of course, no one would be so free, passing by outside at this time.

Seeing the exposed coffin, Jiang Wei seemed to see hope.

I always feel that further clues are inside the coffin.

After digging out the coffin, the royal guards stopped temporarily and waited for Zhao Yunsheng's next instructions.

"Open the coffin!"

Zhao Yunsheng lowered his voice and said.

The three Jinyi guards were very skilled in their movements. The shovel got stuck in the gap of the coffin and they pried it hard. Only a "creak" sound was heard, and the lid of the coffin was lifted. First, a putrid smell rushed out.

They backed away quickly, brushing their noses with their sleeves.

It smells terrible!

"It stinks!"

Jiang Wei frowned and took two steps back.

Zhao Yunsheng seemed to have been used to this rancid smell for a long time, but he also took out a mask that Zhu Xuan and the others had worked out, then took out a flashlight from his body, turned it on, and looked into the coffin.

It was okay not to look at it, but when they looked at it, they were all stunned and felt in disbelief.

"Two skeletons!"

One of the Jinyi guards, regardless of how ghastly the contents in the coffin were, immediately walked over and took out the two skulls.

"Really two skeletons."

"There are two human heads in this coffin, two sets of ribs, and the bones of the hands and feet belong to two people."

"This coffin has two people stuffed inside it."

Jiang Wei also used his professional characteristics, quickly turned over the bones inside with the scabbard, and said in surprise.

Under normal circumstances, there would not be two human skeletons inside a coffin.

Generally if it exists, it means the situation is abnormal.

Zhao Yunsheng continued to focus his flashlight on the coffin, looked at the bones below, and asked, "Did you check it wrong?"

Jiang Wei also believed that this was possible. There were so many graves in the entire mass grave, so it was normal to check wrongly sometimes. He said, "You wouldn't mistake the tomb where a husband and wife were buried together as Zhang Xing's tomb, right?"

"Can't be wrong."

A guard in Jinyi rummaged around and found the pelvic bones of two skeletons under the darkness of night: "When a woman wants to give birth, her pelvis is wider than that of a man. This is natural. A man's pelvis is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. A woman's pelvis is wider at the top and smaller at the bottom. The pelvic bones are cylindrical. Sirs, you can see that the pelvic bones here are similar in size and shape. They are not buried together."

They came over to take a look, and it was indeed the case.

The difference is not very big, and it is basically certain that the owners of these two skeletons are both men.

Jiang Wei had to sigh that An Zi was much more professional than the Jin Yiwei he showed up to be, which made him feel stressed.

Another Jin Yiwei said: "The clothes the two corpses were originally wearing were those of the eunuchs of the royal palace, which means there is no mistake. It's just...the clothes of both of them belong to the eunuchs. It's strange!"

Zhao Yunsheng asked: "Two eunuchs buried together? This is interesting."

Jiang Wei frowned and said in a deep voice: "According to the roster we checked, since the establishment of Prince Heng's Mansion, only one eunuch named Zhang Xing has died of illness, and there will never be another one!"

"This is where the problem lies."

Zhao Yunsheng sighed.

I feel more and more that the water in Prince Heng’s Mansion is too deep.

It is not easy for ordinary people to control. If you accidentally fall into it, you may be drowned.

Jiang Wei even felt that things were complicated and confusing.

Can any unknown secrets be uncovered?

He didn't want to know too much about those royal secrets.

"Sir!" said a Jin Yiwei who inspected the coffin: "This coffin has been opened twice since it was buried. We just opened it once. The first time should have been opened shortly after the burial. In other words, there was only one coffin before the burial. Later, someone dumped the body, destroyed it, and stuffed the second body inside.”

They could still tell from the marks on the coffin lid.

Within half a year, it is not too long. As long as you are careful and find the problem based on the traces, it is not particularly troublesome.

Zhao Yunsheng observed for a while and nodded slightly in agreement.

Indeed it is.

"Take the bones back and restore the rest to their original state."

Zhao Yunsheng said.

Those bones were wrapped in cloth.

As for this grave, it won't be long before they fill it up and restore it to its original state.

Jin Yiwei is very professional. The size and height of the restoration are almost the same as before the excavation. He then spreads a layer of dry soil to camouflage the restoration and tries to restore it as completely as possible. As long as the grave is not dug up, it will not be discovered that anyone has dug the grave.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Yunsheng led the way.

Jiang Wei followed behind and asked, "How do you plan to investigate after you return?"

Zhao Yunsheng raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said: "It's already midnight, what else are you going to check when you go back? Of course, you should go to bed first."

Jiang Wei: "..."

This was the first time for him to work so closely with Zhao Yunsheng in investigating a case, and he always felt that his rhythm could not keep up with Zhao Yunsheng's.

Obviously everyone is a Jinyiwei, and their actual strength is about the same, but the dark ones in the dark can indeed defeat their people in the open in many cases.

The bones were not taken back to the Zhenfusi Yamen, but to Zhao Yunsheng's yard.

Jin Yiwei, who brought the bones back, prepared to sort them out under the light of the light and conduct an autopsy tomorrow. However, as soon as the bones were exposed to normal light, another problem was discovered.

"Sir, come and see!"

After hearing what Jin Yiwei said, they hurried over to take a look.

"The bones of one skeleton are gray in color, while the other skeleton is a normal white bone color."

"There was not enough light just now and the color was lighter, so it was difficult for us to detect it."

Jin Yiwei said.

"poisoned!"

Jiang Wei and Zhao Yunsheng blurted out these three words at the same time.

The owners of these two bones are most likely eunuchs from Prince Heng's Mansion.

But who would poison a eunuch?
Zhang Xing died of illness. He has two bones. Who is Zhang Xing?
In the roster of Prince Heng's Mansion, there is no record of the death of a second eunuch or any servant. So among the two bones, one is Zhang Xing, and who is the other?

Poisoning.

One more person.

Two eunuchs died.

This clue puzzled them, but they were certain that the poisoning clue that appeared at this time must be related to the letter from Prince Heng's Mansion.

The specific relationship needs to be further investigated.

"what do you think?"

Jiang Wei asked.

Zhao Yunsheng yawned and said, "I'll do the autopsy tomorrow, so I'd better get some sleep first."

Jiang Wei asked: "Are you not nervous at all?"

Zhao Yunsheng said: "We have found out to this point, what else should we be nervous about? As long as the clues are still there, the truth cannot escape. We have done so much, and the people behind it don't know, and the leadership is still in our hands."

Jiang Wei: "..."

It seemed to make sense, but he hesitated and decided to go to the palace to see His Highness tomorrow to report the discovery first. (End of chapter)
