Chapter 105

"The deceased Jin Ling, female, 17 years old, six feet three inches tall, died of mechanical asphyxia..."

Wearing a mask and a homemade surgical gown, Gu Ruo carefully examined Jin Ling's body with burning eyes.

Gu Ruo studied clinical medicine, which is quite different from forensic science. Fortunately, she usually reads a lot of literature and is familiar with the physiological structure of the normal human body. Autopsy is also a bit of a foundation for her.

Corpse plaques had already appeared on Jin Ling's body, and her face was congested and cyanotic, accompanied by swelling and petechial bleeding. There were round, pinpoint-sized bleeding spots on the face, eyelid conjunctiva near the fornix, and the inner and outer canthus of the bulbar conjunctiva.Because Mao Dun refused to conduct an autopsy, the cause of death can be roughly judged from the external symptoms of the corpse.

Xiao Chengfeng stood aside with a handkerchief covering his nose, helping Gu Ruo as a recorder, but for some reason Gu Ruo stopped suddenly and stared at Jin Ling's neck in a daze.

"Ah Ruo, what did you find?"

Gu Ruo didn't look back, and raised her hand to call for Xiao Chengfeng to come forward to help her: "Help me lift my clothes."

"Ah?" Xiao Chengfeng stepped back a few steps and waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm a gentleman, and I will definitely not lift your clothes..."

After a while, Xiao Chengfeng put on the gloves Gu Ruo gave him, pinched the corner of the man's clothes in his hands, and turned his head to look elsewhere: "Ah Ruo, what do you want to see?"

Gu Ruo tried hard to separate Jin Ling's legs, and leaned closer to check her... before she stood up straight, with a clear expression: "So that's how it is."

Xiao Chengfeng hurriedly let go of Jin Ling, instead of looking at Jin Ling, he hurriedly asked Gu Ruo: "Ah Ruo, what did you find?"

Gu Ruo didn't answer in a hurry, but pulled off his gloves and asked, "Where's the eunuch? Take me to see his body, I probably know what's going on, but I still need to confirm it!"

Xiao Chengfeng pointed to one side and said: "The eunuch's body is parked next door." Gu Ruo didn't care to say anything, and hurried to the next door, Xiao Chengfeng took a step behind, looked down at the gloves on his hands, and remembered himself just now. Helping Gu Ruo take off Jin Ling's clothes, she quickly pouted and shook her head, took off her gloves and threw them on the morgue.

As soon as she went out, Gu Ruo paused, and reached out to touch the jade pendant on her waist. It was the warm jade that Du Youning never left her body all year round.She thought it was evidence clues or something, but later found out that she was thinking too much.Giving her the warm jade that is close to her body must be to reassure her.The wide mask covered the nose and lips, revealing only a pair of bright eyes——

It must be able to help him, and it must be able to prove that the murderer is someone else, for sure!
In the dungeon, the light is dim, and there is some dampness on the walls, giving people a feeling of depression for no reason.

But the man in a certain cell seemed to be unaware of his situation, standing with his back to the cell door with his hands bound.

The lock of the cell was unlocked, and then Chu Yu walked in, stepped forward and slapped Du Youning, and said mockingly: "Well, you brat, are you sure that you will be fine? ?”

Du Youning turned around and bowed to Chu Yuxing, with a wanton smile on his face: "With the emperor protecting the ministers, the ministers naturally have nothing to worry about."

"Heh!" Chu Yu was still grimacing, but he couldn't help breaking his skills when he heard the words, and laughed brightly, "Who said General Du is Zhongliang? In my opinion, General Du's skill in flattery is not bad!"

Du Youning put on a loyal and honest face, clasped his fists and replied: "Everything I said comes from the bottom of my heart, please let the emperor learn from you!"

"Okay, I understand Aiqing's feelings, let me first tell you what you saw when Jin Ling's accident happened."

"Yes."

During the state banquet, Du Youning did walk out.But what he followed was not Jin Ling, but the Nine Kings.When investigating the private salt case earlier, Du Youning followed the clues and slowly found Jiu Wang.To say that the Nine Kings acted cautiously, but the hard work paid off, and Du Youning found the evidence.

It turns out that the Nine Kings are not only related to the salt private case, but also have ulterior secrets with the Dongying people.It would be better if it was just accepting bribes, but involving other countries would inevitably mean treason and collusion with the enemy.This matter is no small matter, while Du Youning stood still so as not to startle the enemy, he asked people to continue to observe carefully.

It was Chu Yu's birthday, and many envoys came from Dongying Kingdom.Du Youning always felt that something was wrong, and secretly strengthened his military defense. Naturally, he always paid attention to the movements of the Nine Kings and the Japanese envoys during the banquet.Seeing that the Nine Kings suddenly got up and quietly left the banquet, Du Youning always felt that there was something wrong here, so he followed out immediately.Then he heard a man and a woman having fun on the rockery, good voices, Du Youning didn't want to listen to the corner, so he went back to the banquet.

After a while, the Nine Kings came back, dressed neatly, chatting with others like a normal person.When meeting Du Youning's eyes, the Nine Kings smiled at Du Youning while holding a wine glass. The smile was mixed with other emotions, and Du Youning suddenly felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, something happened to Jin Ling after that, and Du Youning was blamed for the murder.In front of so many people, Du Youning couldn't say that the Nine Kings colluded with the Dongying people to frame him, so he could only keep silent for the time being.

"Old Ninth, he really..."

What it was, Chu Yu didn't say, and Du Youning didn't ask either.Tomorrow afternoon will be the time for the public trial of Du Youning. By then, everything should be over.

Seeing the shabby surroundings of the cell, Chu Yu unconsciously ordered Wang Pu: "Send someone to prepare some things."

Du Youning couldn't help but stop her voice: "Your Majesty, don't bother, I'm only staying here for one night, and I don't plan to stay forever."

"That can't be wronged, isn't it, Wang Pu, bring a few more people and help the general tidy up this room."

"twitter!"

Wang Pu got the order, and quickly called many people in, those who carried quilts, those who rolled up their bedding, and even the incense burners were placed in. It was so neatly arranged that it was clearly a luxury suite where it was still a prison cell.Chu Yu went back to the bedroom to accompany the queen a long time ago, while everyone on the other end was still tidying up, Du Youning on the other end yawned, and said loudly: "You guys are busy first, and I will take a rest."

Wang Pu said good-bye politely, and when the cleaning was almost done, he greeted the group of eunuchs and walked out the same way.At the end, he still thoughtfully put out the wax for Du Youning, so as not to affect his rest.

The moon is dark and the wind kills the night.

Two figures shuttled over, first stunned the guard guarding the prison, and then entered Du Youning's cell with a long knife.Perhaps it was because of the smoke, Du Youning fell into a deep sleep and lay motionless on the bed.The two killers looked at each other and slashed at the man on the bed without hesitation.Instead of stabbing with a knife, he beheaded directly, making sure that the person would not survive, and quickly retreated.

There was silence in the dungeon, as if nothing had happened.

Early the next morning, the public trial against Du Youning began.

All the ministers and envoys from various countries came to listen early, but Chu Yu arrived, and Du Youning was not brought up.Those guards who went down to lead people hurried forward and said something to Wang Pu.Wang Pu's complexion changed drastically, his figure staggered, he almost staggered to Chu Yu, and whispered something to him.If you are close, you can vaguely hear the words "heavenly prison", "General Du", "accident" and other words.

Huba stood up and asked why Chu Yu didn't start the trial.Chu Yu managed to keep calm, and asked Gu Ruo to tell what she had found.

Gu Ruo spent the first half of the night in the morgue, and the second half of the night touched the jade pendant tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, her face was naturally a little tired.But she straightened her body, stepped forward gracefully, first saluted Chu Yu, and then faced the people below.

"Last night, I checked the princess's body overnight. Unexpectedly, I really discovered the identity of the murderer!" Gu Ruo didn't make a long speech, and went straight to the point. He walked up to the Dongpu envoy with his memory, and said coldly, "Last night, the envoy once Say, is it the one who watched General Du go out?"

"Yes."

"I don't know if the emissary remembers what time it was and how long General Du has been out?"

The Japanese envoy said impatiently: "I only saw that General Du left the table with Princess Modun at the same time. As for when and when the general came back, I didn't pay attention at all."

Gu Ruo immediately said: "Let's not talk about why the envoy pays attention to Princess Jinling without incident. Based on this sentence alone, the envoy only saw General Du go out, but did not see him killing people, right?"

"This... yes, but..."

Gu Ruo raised her hand to interrupt him, and said with a sneer, "It's not necessary, seeing is not necessarily believing, let alone not seeing."

The Dongying envoy was a little displeased, and he opened his mouth and said, "But didn't the eunuch who declared his ambition by death said that he saw General Du and Princess Jin Ling doing Zhou Gong's affairs on the rockery, so General Du must have forced the princess, for fear of being found out. Then kill and silence..."

"Hehe, it's a pity that the envoy didn't tell the story." Gu Ruo gave the envoy a hard look, and then said to the crowd, "Actually, we have already met the murderer, either someone else or—"

Gu Ruo raised his arm, pointed at the Japanese envoy, and smiled ironically.The envoy couldn't help being dazed when he saw this, and argued angrily, "You are talking nonsense, it's not me!"

"I didn't say it was you, why are you panicking? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?" Gu Ruo turned around and pointed at the corpse on the ground, "The murderer is the eunuch we saw last night!"

The Dongying envoy was stunned when he heard the words, and his eyes jumped up as soon as he turned his eyes: "Why is this girl talking so nonsense? Could it be that she wronged witnesses because she felt that there was no evidence to prove her death?"

"Since I dare to say that, it is because I have evidence!"

"When we saw the princess, her clothes were disheveled and there were traces of ambiguity on her body. Based on what the eunuch said, we naturally thought that the princess was killed after being molested. But my autopsy last night found that the princess was not at that time. Violated. And the pinch marks on his neck are also very special, based on those marks, it can be concluded that the murderer has only eight fingers in total."

Someone raised the eunuch's left hand, and sure enough, there were only three fingers on it, and the wound had been scarred long ago, it was not a new wound.As soon as these words were said, everyone was in an uproar.

Jin Ling's old sexual desire is broken, but she really didn't have sex last night.Coupled with the pinch mark on her neck, Gu Ruo concluded that someone lured her out first, and then that person ordered the eunuch to kill Jin Ling and frame Du Youning with her death.

She looked around the crowd, and her eyes finally fell on Jiu Wang.In all fairness, Nine Kings is indeed a rare handsome man in the world, and his demeanor is out of this world, giving the impression that the years are quiet and good.Gu Ruo stepped forward step by step, staring at his clothes, squinting his eyes: "I wonder if the Nine Kings can pull back your hair and let us see the back of your neck?"

Jiu Wang's expression was slightly stagnant, and he smiled brightly: "I don't know why Miss Gu wants to look at the back of my neck?"

"Because, Princess Jin Ling told me that she left evidence on the murderer's accomplices. I wonder if the Ninth Prince dares to let us have a look?" Gu Ruo looked straight at the Ninth King with a bit of sharpness.

Jiu Wang took a breath, the scratch on the back of his neck seemed to hurt slightly again, and he didn't move for a long time.

There were also ministers who couldn't understand it, and helped the Nine Kings to speak: "The Ninth King is a prince, why should he kill the princess and blame General Du?"

Before Gu Ruo could speak, someone said first: "Then let me, who was framed, talk about the cause and effect."

Du Youning was dressed in light clothes, suave and suave, but he didn't look slumped.Looking at the emperor's indifferent look, it can be seen that the Nine Kings are probably about to fall this time.

"The matter starts from last autumn, when I was in charge of secretly investigating the case of salt smuggling, who knows..." Du Youning talked eloquently, telling all about the nine kings smuggling salt and iron and colluding with Dongying people.The so-called solid evidence, how can they deny it.

Jiu Wang's face was pale, looked at Du Youning and only said: "Are you not dead?"

Du Youning nodded: "Of course."

It had long been expected that the Nine Kings wanted to kill people, so Chu Yu called so many people in to make arrangements. There was a dead body wrapped in the quilt, while Du Youning quietly changed into eunuch clothes and walked out among the crowd .The two men in black also said that they were lucky and the task was successfully completed, but they didn't know that someone was following them, and they took them down after they finished their report——

The reason is to kill the opponent by surprise.

Jiu Wang thought that his plan was perfect, but he didn't think that there were failures everywhere.He raised his head and smiled, took out a dagger and stabbed it in the stomach, saying that he would rather die than let them manipulate him.

The other party wanted to die, but unfortunately Gu Ruo didn't cooperate, arranged an operation, let Xia Wu and Ma Qianzi practice their skills, and in turn rescued the Nine Kings.

When Chu Yu went to see the Nine Kings, he didn't have any emotional ups and downs, and just asked him why he bothered.

The Nine Kings just laughed. He lay on the bed and said for a long time, "Brother Huang, don't you wonder why I did this, Brother Huang?"

Chu Yu's eyes flickered, and he fiddled with his jade finger and asked, "Why?"

Nine King sat up covering his wound, stared at Chu Yu's face, and said word by word: "Jinyu should have been mine, mine! If you were not the emperor, if you hadn't used your power to marry her, she wouldn't be here now. It will be my princess, not your queen! If I were the emperor, if I were the emperor...Jinyu would still be mine..."

"You mean, everything you do is for Jin Yu?"

"Of course!"

Chu Yu just smiled and said: "Up to now, you still don't know how to repent, and you want to provoke the relationship between the empress. You are not doing it for Jinyu, but for yourself. You don't love Jinyu at all, you only love yourself. The prince broke the law The common people are guilty of the same crime, and you should bear the consequences for your own mistakes."

After Chu Yu finished speaking, he left, not wanting to talk nonsense with the Nine Kings, but the Nine Kings kept shouting behind him: "Why do you say that I don't love Jin Yu, Jin Yu loves me the most, it's me!"

Chu Yu sneered, how could he know, of course he knew.

If it's true love, how can you pull the other person into the water when you know that your time is running out.If it was him, he wouldn't say it, because that's protection.As for the true love mentioned by the Nine Kings——

It's just an old story, and now it's me who is by Jin Yu's side.And Chu Yu believes that Jin Yu loves her, after all, they have a bright future.

The nine kings dealt with it according to the law, and it was considered an explanation to Maodun; while Dongying intended to provoke a dispute between Da Chu and Maodun, but they couldn't beat the two countries, so they had to pay compensation.Huba returned to Modun with his sister's ashes and a large amount of wealth from Dongying.Later, the kings of Modun seized the throne, and with the support of Dachu, Huba quelled the rebellion and became Chanyu.Since then, the two countries have had a good relationship for hundreds of years, becoming a peaceful and friendly pioneer in the diplomatic history of ancient countries.

This is all for later.

Du Youning and Gu Ruo walked on Chang'an Street, the two of them were speechless for a while.

It was still Du Youning who was curious and asked how Gu Ruo knew that the Nine Kings had a neck injury.

"I found human dander from Jin Ling's nails, and made up the scene in my mind. It should be the imprint left by Jin Ling's excitement at the beginning. How, am I very smart?"

Du Youning took her hand, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "Yes, in my heart, you are fine anyway." While speaking, Du Youning seemed to have accidentally glanced at Gu Ruo's nails, um, not long, At that time, he shouldn't scratch himself too badly.

The sun hit the ground, elongating and intertwining the shadows of the two.

Spring breeze and summer, autumn rain and winter snow, the most beautiful thing is that we are together.
