Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 851
After a long time, Di Renjie asked: "That is to say, when you saw His Majesty the King, he was in a state of madness, but he was conscious before dying?"

Na Lu lowered her head and wiped her tears, and replied, "Exactly."

Qiongta sneered and said: "This is really weird. I was still insane just now, but when I mentioned that the princess should succeed to the throne, I immediately became sober..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Nalu raised her eyebrows and said, "Prince Qiongta, please speak directly, don't beat around the bush!"

Qiongta said: "My elder brother is in the harem, and his daily life and walking are strictly protected by guards; the daily diet is also checked by the servants. How could he suddenly go crazy? I think there must be ghosts in it!"

Na Lu sneered: "Oh, what do you mean by ghost?"

Qiongta pressed on step by step: "I'm afraid no one knows the truth of this matter better than the princess."

Nalu said angrily, "You mean, I killed His Majesty the King."

Qiongta said: "I didn't say that, it's just that my brother died too strangely and suspiciously!"

She stood up and said to Di Renjie, "Mr. Di, I request a thorough investigation into the cause of the king's death."

Na Lu sneered.

Di Renjie nodded: "According to Her Royal Highness, the cause of the king's death is indeed a bit strange. Please rest assured, Prince Qiongta, if necessary, we will conduct an investigation based on the consent of all parties."

Qiongta nodded and sat back in her original position.

Wei it said: "His Royal Highness, may I ask if my brother behaved strangely before this?"

Nalu recalled: "Not at all. After dinner, he went to the gold and silver corridor to play with the gold and silverware. He used to do this often, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen this time."

Wei it coughed lightly and said: "I heard that a few days ago, there were often noises from the underground of the abandoned old palace in the back garden..."

Nalu's complexion changed, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't know about this, where did the prince of Weita hear about it?"

Di Renjie exchanged glances with Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai, and looked at Wei it.

Wei it said: "I heard about it when the servants in the palace were chatting."

Nalu said: "These are all random suspicions based on rumours, the Prince doesn't need to believe it."

Zhongjie rushed to Di Renjie and said: "Duke Di, according to what Her Majesty Wangfei said, the cause of His Majesty's death is very strange!"

Di Renjie nodded.

Zhongjie turned to Nalu again and said, "Your Highness, it's not that Zhongjie doesn't believe what you said, it's just that this kind of statement is very confusing..."

Nalu said: "What does the ruling lord mean?"

Zhongjie said: "I think finding out the cause of His Majesty's death is the top priority at the moment. I don't know what Di Renjie wants?"

Di Renjie said: "The two princes and Lord Zhongjie have both expressed this wish. I wonder what Her Royal Highness thinks?"

Na Lu sighed and said, "Okay, since everyone insists, I agree. But how can we find out this point?"

Di Renjie said: "The only way is to do an autopsy." Na Lu asked in surprise, "An autopsy?"

She stood up and stopped her, "How can His Majesty's body be moved lightly!"

Zhongjie said: "For the sake of finding out the truth and for the future of the Yueshi, His Majesty the King will understand and understand."

Wei it echoed: "That's right, as a younger brother, I can't let my elder brother be a fool!"

Qiongta also said: "I support it!"

Di Renjie looked at Na Lu.

After a long time, Nalu nodded slowly and said, "Forget it. The king's body is in the back garden, please ask Princess Di to inspect it!"

Di Renjie nodded.

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and the others looked at each other and nodded slightly.

in the back garden.

Cha Cha's body was placed on the mortuary bed. His face was livid, his eyes were wide open, and his body and limbs were stained with blood.

Qiongta turned her face away and said in a trembling voice: "Why, how could this happen, it's terrible!"

Wei it said: "Why is there blood all over his body, who stabbed him?"

Nalu sighed: "The king is highly skilled in martial arts, first-rate in swordsmanship, and is in the harem. If it wasn't for being insane and self-mutilating with a knife, who would be able to stab him?"

He took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

Nalu wiped her tears and said, "Now you have seen it, I didn't deliberately hide it from you, once such a death is seen by the ministers, it will really insult the dignity of the former king."

Wei it and Qiongta looked at each other and nodded.

Zhongjie asked kindly: "Your Highness, before this, the king has not behaved abnormally?"

Na Lu shook her head and sighed, "This is the fault. Everything was fine, but suddenly something like this happened..."

Zhong Jie said: "It's really incredible."

He looked at Di Renjie and said, "Gong Di, do you think you should let me do the autopsy, or..."

At this time, Wang Mang stood up: "My lord, let me take a look first!"

Di Renjie nodded

Wang Mang walked slowly to the mortuary bed and looked closely at the corpse of the poor man.

I saw that Cha Chi's face was livid and bruised, and the pupils of his eyes were scattered.

Wang Mang took a deep breath and said: "The skin on the face is bruised and black, showing signs of poisoning. The pupils are dilated and scattered, and it is obvious that he died of extreme fright."

Hearing Wang Mang's professional analysis, Zhongjie, Wei it, and Qiongta all nodded in conviction.

At this time, Di Renjie said to Li Yuanfang, "Get the autopsy hook."

Li Yuanfang walked quickly to Wu Zuo, took a set of tools, took out the autopsy hook, and handed it to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie took the hook, put it into the mouth of the messenger, slowly pried his mouth open, and examined it carefully.

After a while, he shook his head slowly and said, "The mouth is very clean and there is no foreign matter."

Saying that, he put down the autopsy hook, picked up the left arm of the poor man and looked at it, his eyes stopped on the left hand of the poor man.

The thumb of the left hand was cut off, and the blood stains had solidified.

Wang Mang also noticed it. He took a deep breath and looked down the poor body. All five toes on his left foot were broken.

Wang Mang looked closely, the wound was smooth and neat, obviously cut off by a sharp knife.

At this time, Wang Mang raised his head and asked Nalu, "His Royal Highness, His Majesty the King's left thumb and five toes of his left foot were cut off by a sharp knife. Where are the remains now?"

Nalu sighed: "This is another strange thing. After the king died, I ordered the guards to collect the king's body, and found that his left thumb and five toes of his left foot were all cut off.

At that time, I ordered the guards to search around, but after searching the scene, only four toes were found, and neither the left thumb nor the big toe of the left foot were found. "

Di Renjie was startled and said, "Oh, this is really weird."

As he spoke, he and Wang Mang looked at each other.

Suddenly, Wang Mang asked: "Aside from you and the guards, was there anyone else here?"

Na Lu shook her head: "After the accident, I closed all the Gold and Silver Corridors, and no one came in."

At this time, Zhong Jie was also surprised and said: "This is strange, since no outsiders have been here, how could the king's bones disappear?"

Di Renjie said: "Perhaps before Her Royal Highness discovered that the king was insane, these two bones were taken away."

Zhong Jie and Wei It looked at each other, and said in surprise: "Oh, who is this person Di Gong said? Why did he take the king's bones!"

Qiongta also said eagerly: "Could this person be the murderer?!"

Di Renjie looked at Na Lu and said, "Aside from the king, princess and the guards, is there anyone else living in the harem?"

He deliberately put the word "bystanders" very seriously.

Na Lu was taken aback, and raised her head: "Besides, other people..."
