Profound Pure Guard

“Thirty-one years in the old calendar, April 9th, ugly time. In Heavenly Prison, when the jailer case was routinely inspected in the prison, he found that the king was lying on the ground. The jailer was shocked. Immediately blew the whistle, and when the warden came over with the key to open the prison door for investigation, the person was already out of breath.”

The place was the prison of the Ministry of Justice. To be precise, Heavenly Prison, a special prison area.

The prisons of the Ministry of Justice are used to detain felons, while Heavenly Prison is for special prisoners of felons. The special prison area is even more unusual. It is a place dedicated to imprisoning imperial family clan members. .

Imperial Family has committed a crime and it is very troublesome to deal with it. Although the law is ostensibly applicable to members of the Imperial Family other than the emperor, the actual situation is that members of the Imperial Family also enjoy many preferential treatments even in the Department of Criminal Justice. Even for capital crimes, they enjoy basic decency before death.

For example, the special prison area in Heavenly Prison is very clean. It is definitely not as dirty as an ordinary cell. On the contrary, it will be neat and tidy. There will even be some special beds, tables and stools. There are also curtains to cover the toilet.

Even the diet is as satisfying as possible. You can even bring some books, paper and pens outside to pass the time.

The use of torture is rare in the Imperial Family. Even if it is necessary, people from the Imperial Family will do it themselves, and will not let the criminals get involved.

Although the trouble is troublesome, the people of the Imperial Family have been quite abiding by the rules throughout the generations. They may be high-profile or arrogant, but rarely will they violate the law and keep the bottom line very well. Therefore, the special prison area of ​​Heavenly Prison is vacant all year round.

Just some time ago, King King and King Qian had a big fight on Junhou Street. Not only did the cultivator guards around him use all their skills, they even took out the bows and crossbows, which caused a lot of damage to the houses on both sides of Junhou Street. , Collapsed a lot and injured several, but fortunately no lives were lost.

This incident aroused the emperor’s anger, and ordered the Criminal Ministry to investigate and deal with it. So King Jing and King Gan were arrested and put back into separate custody in the special prison of Heavenly Prison.

Everyone knows that this is an extraordinary period, especially when things between the prince and the prince are more sensitive. Ma Xuanlin, the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, repeatedly urged no one to try this case. Just a single word delay. After two weeks, he wrote a memorial and said that the two princes knew they were wrong, and they also paid the medical expenses of the injured and the house. Reconstruction was given more as compensation, and the emperor should be able to expose the matter if he wants to come.

But who knows that before the memorials were printed, there was a major event in Heavenly Prison.

The king of god who was locked in the T-shaped cell is dead.

The warden of the prison area was so scared to pee his pants, and then King Jing, who was also in the special prison area, was tightly protected by the Imperial Family guard who hurried in, but King Jing still had to continue without the emperor’s warrant. Stay here and can’t leave, and even the door of the cell can’t take a half step.

At the same time, Ma Xuanlin, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who arrived in a panic, was a little mad. Why do you buckle the poop in his place like this?

Looking at the stiff corpse on the ground, Ma Xuanlin had the urge to resign from office. He knew that if he couldn’t handle the matter right now, he might get in in this life.

While making an emergency report to the left, he sent a message to the palace. At the same time, Ma Xuanlin also found his most capable cadre. Be sure to check the matter before the emperor’s inquiry arrives. Some clues came out, at least if you asked him, there could be some verbal answer, right? If it is one question and three questions, if it annoys the emperor, he might be chopped off his head in rage.

So Ma Xuanlin panicked and went to the leftist Ye Lansheng to discuss countermeasures, and the matter of the dead was handed over to the Major Cases Department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The chief officer “Iron Face” Xue Gui rushed over when he received the news, his eyes seemed to be covered with frost, and a look in his eyes made people subconsciously avoid the line of sight, coupled with the cold face on his face Mask, ordinary people don’t even dare to stand beside him.

“Who has been here at the scene?”

“The one who delivered the food at the beginning of Xu, and then came again to take away the bowl when it was almost at the time of Xu. Chopsticks, and delivered a pot of fruit wine according to the instructions of the king. But people were outside and never came in.

After the accident, the warden opened the prison door and came in. There were also two doctors and heard the news. The three guards of the king of gods who came here.”

Xue Guidu is here, and his adjutant Li Qing will naturally not be absent. Now, after Xue Gui went around in the cell, Li Qing just finished the preliminary situation of the prison and came back, and quickly reported to Xue Gui.

The scene is very important, but nowadays, not to mention the footprints, even the placement and arrangement of many objects in the cell have been moved. For example, when the king was discovered, the king was lying on the ground, but the warden who rushed over put the king on the bed in order to save him. It was medicine pill and a magic technique. It turned out that the dead couldn’t survive. Yes, the scene was also severely damaged.

“The corpse has no signs of poisoning on the surface, and there is no obvious odor, scars, or struggling. It died…very peacefully?” Xue Gui stood by the bed and just checked briefly. While working on the king’s body, as he expected, he found almost no direct clues.

“Who do you work? When will it arrive?”

“Already waiting outside. But my lord, you really want an autopsy? This is a godfather, should you report it before doing it? Planning?” Li Qing was a little worried. Because of the dead prince, and the Imperial Family is very particular about the human body after death. If you let Hao perform an autopsy, although it is to solve the case, it will be a big trouble if it is investigated.

But Xue Gui shook the head and said: “Can’t wait, it’s almost an hour before the body was found. If it is a homicide in such a severe place, there are no more than a few methods. Among them, poisoning is one of them. Some poisons will dissipate on their own after a long time in the corpse, so you have to take advantage of it. You should know all of these, right?”

“Subordinates know, but… …”

Xue Gui interrupted: “Okay, let’s call you in.”

When Li Qing saw that her master had made a decision, he stopped persuading him and turned around. , And soon led two Hausaku in their fifties.

Xue Gui raised his hand to stop the courtesy of Wu Zuo, and pointed to the body on the bed and said to them: “That is the godfather, the second son of Your Majesty. The cause of death is currently unknown. You need to find out. And any on the body. I can’t let go of the doubts. Let’s get started.”

The bodies of the two corpses shook a few times. The corpse of the prince was still instinctively nervous. But they know the rules of the big case department, let you do whatever you want, procrastinating or perfunctory or conflicting, you can’t finish eating, you can only brace oneself.

Starting from undressing, one person checks the records of one person and makes up for any omissions at the same time. From the inside out, for an hour and a half, the last autopsy result arrived in Xue Gui’s hands.
