I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 113 Weird way of death

"To put it simply, I threatened them with the excuse of the Three Laws Division. Even if I said verbally that I could be severely punished, they would not dare to actually do it."

"But what if a few idiots come from the Ministry of Punishment and are really sentenced to severe punishment?"

"...I will help Lord Tisi get revenge."

Sitting in the parliament hall, Cao An briefly explained his method to everyone.

The battles in the court were fierce, especially since the Tsing Yi Department had divided a part of the Three Law Divisions [Imperial Laws], which made the other party feel like they were in trouble, and they would step on them if they took the opportunity.

Simply begging for mercy is of no use.

So Cao An came up with a move to surround Wei and save Zhao. The black ring transaction that had not been exposed before was the most appropriate time to launch it.

After all, the request is far less straightforward than a direct threat. There is no need to worry about Tisi's safety now, because Sanfasi is more urgent.

"So now, should we deal with the black ring issue first? Or should we help Mr. Tisi investigate the case?"

"Of course I'm helping Mr. Tisi. Are you ready with water and wine? Bring it with you, let's go to Dali Temple Prison."

……

After all, he is his own leader. With the Tsing Yi Department's desire-free style, there is no struggle for power among colleagues. Cao An still has a good impression of Liang Qifeng.

Of course, if this is a peach blossom disaster for this person, it would be better if it is less.

A few people arrived at the Dali Temple Prison neatly and did not see Mo Xiaoming. It is estimated that the guy had been labeled a troublemaker because of his confrontation with Cao An today and was being criticized at the moment.

As soon as Cao An and the others arrived, the official who received them smiled and took a few people to visit them. It was obvious that they had said hello and did not even need to report.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time Cao An has come to this place. Logically speaking, as Liang Qifeng is a felon suspected of murdering a female officer, he should be locked up in a very deep place.

Without thinking about Cao An's threats, Dali Temple was immediately frightened and locked the person in the guest room.

When I entered the room, I saw a soft bed and a wardrobe. I almost didn't have a maid. Do you call this a prison?

Of course, everyone knows Liang Qifeng's temperament and will never run away. Just look at the fight with the widow last time and you will know that reputation is above all else.

Seeing everyone bringing wine and food, Liang Qifeng's melancholy face finally relaxed a little.

"Thank you all for visiting me, Cao An. Thank you very much for today."

"We are all brothers from the Tsing Yi Department. You don't have to be so polite. Let's sit down and eat and chat." Cao An put out roasted chicken and duck. For those who didn't know, he thought it was a meal for the dead. Life was so comfortable.

Liang Qifeng sat down and drank the wine in his hand. His dark face finally turned a little rosy.

He took a deep breath and looked at Ying Changfeng seriously. Was he to express deep gratitude? Or a melancholy narrative?

Just when everyone was confused, Liang Qifeng spoke: "Sir, I am thirty-eight years old this year, and I have not yet reached the age of forty-five."

"..."

Are you still worried about your age?
  Is there any difference between 38 and 40? The point is that you are still unmarried. Ying Changfeng wants to take advantage of this to excuse you for being a decent person and having no lust for sex!
  "I want to marry a wife and have children, but I just haven't found one."

"..."

Liang Qifeng drank another glass of strong wine, with a touch of sadness in his voice.

"Ahem, okay, those are just trivial matters. Let's talk about the case you were framed in." Cao An quickly changed the subject.

He always felt that the eyes of this ferocious-faced Lord Tisi were already filled with tears, so it was better not to talk about such serious topics.

"Just tell me about the female officer, how did you know her?"

"I don't know him." Liang Qifeng was also a bachelor and shook his head in denial.

But think about it, if he could even hook up with the female officials in the harem, he wouldn't be at this age. He hasn’t married yet and has children.

"But if you don't know her, why were you identified as the murderer? Where did you meet?"

"I went to the Ministry of Etiquette yesterday and this unfortunate incident happened."

……

The Ministry of Rites has a wide range of responsibilities. They are responsible for receiving foreign envoys, planning ceremonies, conducting imperial examinations, etc.

Liang Qifeng went over yesterday just because there was nothing to do in the department and he wanted to get some time arrangements for the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony so that he could plan the inspection tasks for his brothers in advance.

Unexpectedly, Ye Siyi was there, and something happened.

"She asked me to come into the side hall to talk."

"Hey! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Lord Tisi! Seeing that you are so honest on weekdays, why did you make a mistake now?" Zhu Xian had already begun to cheer beside him.

A man and a woman alone went into the side hall to chat privately. Who would believe you if you said there was nothing wrong with you!
  Zhu Xian patted Tisi on the shoulder and persuaded him with sincerity: "Master Tisi, I approved the partners you chose the first two times, but this time you are wrong!"

"Secretary of the Jiaofang, as long as you have money, you can come in if you want, and get out if you want;"

"Widow Wang, you look like a difficult master, but as long as you keep coming in and out for a long time, you won't cause any trouble."

"But Ye Siyi is different! She is the emperor's woman, and the palace gates are strictly guarded. Is this a place where we can come and go at will?"

This person is as good at chatting as ever. If you don't go to the teahouse to tell stories, you are really wasting your eloquence.

Liang Qifeng's drunkenness subsided a little, and his face turned dark again: "She and I just had a conversation, and there was nothing else that crossed the line."

"Really? Then how did she die?"

"She was poisoned."

Access to the emperor's harem was prohibited on weekdays, and only female officials could go out at certain times.

For example, for the upcoming ancestor worship ceremony, the Shangfu Bureau needed to prepare dresses for the concubines in the harem. Ye Siyi also used this as an excuse to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to inquire about relevant matters.

For some unknown reason, after Ye Siyi saw Liang Qifeng, he took the initiative to invite him into the side room to discuss matters.

While we were chatting, Ye Siyi died. "Wait a minute, what do you mean by dying while chatting? Being hit by an arrow? Taking poison? No action at all?"

"No, we were just chatting. She suddenly clutched her stomach in pain and walked towards the door. After opening the door, she fell to the ground."

A death without reason.

The last action of opening the door is even more strange. If you are poisoned, please ask Liang Qifeng for help! Deliberately died in the hallway? Want to attract more people to watch?
  "Then did she tell you something strange? Or gave you any strange object?"

"Yes, she gave me a bottle before she died."

"bottle!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, maybe that thing was the key to solving the case!
  "What kind of bottle is it?"

"It's a bottle for poison."

"..."

Finished!

It can't be washed completely.

Cao An covered his face, feeling that this person was really unlucky.

This is basically certain to be a naked frame-up.

He committed suicide by taking poison, and then let Liang Qifeng take the drained poison bottle before the poison was released, and then turned around and died in front of everyone.

"How dare you take it!"

"We were having a good chat at the time, and she suddenly handed it to me. I didn't know what it was!"

As a suspect, Liang Qifeng was also confused. It was strange that there was such a simple frame-up method these days.

Later, people from Liumen arrived. They were also confused by such a naked killing method, so they could only call Pang Shi and make a decision in court the next day.

To be honest, any normal person would be able to tell that something is wrong in this case.

Because Liang Qifeng's martial arts was very high, if he really wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't need to use poison at all. He could just slap Ye Siyi to death with one palm, leaving him with little chance of escaping out of the house.

What's more, no matter how anxious Liang Tisi is, he can't start a fight in the side hall of someone else's etiquette department, right? There are too many doubts about this case.

"Who else was in the Etiquette Department that day?"

"Many officials are here, including the one who has a grudge against you."

"Have a grudge against me?"

"Yes, I heard that you humiliated King An at his banquet and asked him to pay a kick?"

"Oh? Is he there too? I almost forgot about this guy."

Fu Wenhai was the little guy who used to act with Mu Bai in Nanshan College.

He was recently promoted to the rank of Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Rites. After being beaten by Cao An last time, I haven't heard his name recently. I wonder if it is related to this case.

"Let's go see the body first!"

Cao An got up and directly led the team to find the officials of Dali Temple and demanded an immediate autopsy.

Regarding their requests, the Minister of Dali Temple personally told them that they must agree to all their requests. Naturally, the officials did not dare to neglect and quickly took them to the ice cave.

Although she has not been favored by the emperor, she is at least a female official. Before the case is heard, the body must be frozen and embalmed.

When I came to the ice coffin, I saw that Ye Siyi looked pretty good. His clothes were intact and there was indeed no pulling.

But her lips turned black, and the symptoms of poisoning were very obvious, so Cao An immediately stuck a silver needle into it.

"The silver needle poison test is completed. The poison in the corpse is: [Golden Kui Sand]."

Cao An's ability to detect poison on corpses is much better than that of Tai Hospital. They are still studying the vial containing the poison. One injection here will be done.

Unfortunately, no one in the Tsing Yi Department knows much about toxins.

But it doesn’t matter. Isn’t there a Dali Temple here?
  "Come here, go and check the toxic effects of [Golden Sunflower Sand] for me?"

Dali Temple is now fully cooperating with Cao An, and does not dare to disobey relevant orders. The officers can only accompany him to work overtime, looking for clues about [Jinkuisha].

Soon, an agent who was proficient in toxins came to the door.

"[Jinkuisha]? I know this poison. It is usually used in executions."

"Execution?" Cao An was stunned: "This poison is also used for execution?"

"That's natural. The palace likes to use poisonous wine as a poison. In order to distinguish it, we all use [Golden Sunflower Sand]."

"What's so special about it?"

"The biggest characteristic is that he dies cleanly."

He died neatly and neatly, which sounds really elegant.

To put it simply, after being poisoned, there will be no excessive pain until death occurs.

Poisonous wine was generally strictly controlled by the royal family. When concubines and ministers were killed, most of them used poisonous wine.

However, in places such as government offices, it is difficult to use similar wine-giving techniques, so [Jin Kui Sha] was used.

Carrying a poison bottle on her body proves that Ye Siyi knew that she was poisoned, but she did not ask for help from others, but chose to die in front of Liang Qifeng.

Moreover, this poison was administered in the most painless way.

"There are so many doubts that no one believes it. Maybe she is not setting up a frame-up, but wants to lead us to investigate something."
