Li Cake, the young minister of Dali Temple, stood in front of Yuan Zai with a sullen face and said nothing.
I thought that the death case of the courtesan that went viral in Chang'an was nothing strange and could be handed over to Wannian County and Jingzhao Prefecture for handling. However, as soon as it returned to the official office, I heard that the case was committed by evil spirits and had been handed over to Dali Temple for processing. .
It was a wonderful Shangyuan Festival, and the pressure was all shouldered by him, the young minister of Dali Temple. However, his subordinates who were supposed to share the troubles and solve the problems not only did not share the worries and solve the problems for him, but also disappeared with the files!
At this moment, Li Cake was very angry, thinking that he had endured undue pressure.
Lu Li didn't know why and silently looked at the Eight-Rank Commentary Yuan Zai who was kneeling on the ground:
file……
Could it be that the case of the Oiran's death by falling incense was handed over to Dali Temple? It should be.
But why did this guy take the dossier away?
At the same time, people in the circle were exchanging glances in silence, unable to understand what was going on.
The only exception is Bao Canjun. He is desperately thinking about how to put aside the relationship and leave. You must know that this investigation is a task secretly assigned to him by An Lushan and cannot be exposed.
Moreover, there was no intention to add anyone to the plan. It was just that Yuan Zai was too quick-thinking and could guess the whole story in just a few words. In addition, he had the intention of helping Jiedushi solve his problems, so he reluctantly agreed.
After some careful consideration, Yuan Zai came up with his words: "Shaoqing, I am eager to serve as an official. After discovering this case in the archives..."
However, before he could say yes, Li Bing interrupted him and stretched out two cat fingers: "Two questions."
His eyes glanced at Bao Canjun, "First question, who is this person?"
"Second question, now that Chang'an has entered a night ban, how do you pass the searches of Wuhou, bad guys, and Jinwu Guards?"
The maidservants looked at each other. They didn't know the specific situation, and they couldn't imagine that a cat could walk upright and speak human words.
"The lower official Bao Tao Wei joins the army, Bao Yi."
Seeing that Yuan Zai was hesitant, Bao Canjun replied directly: "I even made friends with Yuan Zai and accepted his invitation to investigate the case together."
"As for how to pass the search... I have served in the military for many years, so I still have some weak points."
There was silence in the attic. Some people believed this statement, while others smiled disdainfully.
Although Bao Yi tried his best to hide his inner panic, Lu Li could still tell that his heart was beating wildly, and he was obviously lying.
The same goes for Yumao Li Cake.
If you were invited to investigate, why did you appear in Dali Temple? After returning to the official office in the afternoon, he smelled a strange smell in the back hall, which happened to match Bao Yi.
However, Li Bing did not intend to go into details. The investigation was the key right now, and Yuan Zai and Bao Yi had no suspicions. Therefore, he let go of the cat's paw and said coldly: "Where is the file?"
Hearing this, Yuan Zai thought that Shaoqing believed this statement, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he crossed his hands and replied, "It's on the official."
After saying this, he took the file out of his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
[One of the deceased is Fuxiang, a famous prostitute in Pingkangfang... There is no trace to be found, and it is suspected that it was the work of ghosts and gods]
His eyes swept across quickly.
After seeing the seals of Wannian County Magistrate and Jing Zhaoyin, Li Cake nodded: "From now on, this case will be taken over by this Shaoqing."
After hearing this, no matter what Yuan Zai and Bao Canjun thought, Lu Li was quite happy and relaxed.
"I wonder what the temple minister discovered?"
After finishing speaking, Li Cake turned to look at the chief official of the temple who was involved in the new murder case.
For some reason, Lu Li thought of a certain costume drama and said with a serious expression, "There must be something fishy about this case."
Li Cake was speechless for a while, thinking that he was deliberately showing off, so he cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
"We witnessed with our own eyes the whole process of Lady Mingyue falling from the building. She did not have any disputes, fights, or emotional injuries during her lifetime..."
Li Bai, Wang Wei and others nodded secretly and continued to listen patiently——
Judging from the information currently available, there should be no doubts about this case, but why would Lu Li say there was something fishy?
Not far away, Huang Liuniang, who had stopped crying, felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"First of all, there's something wrong with the body."
After entering the state, Lu Li closed his eyes, sorted out his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't take this to heart at first, but now that I think about it, it's so unreasonable."
"The top of the attic is two and a half feet above the ground. Although the place where Mingyue Lady fell to her death is a piece of grass, it is impossible that she will not be injured at all."
Lu Li always felt like he was talking nonsense, after all, everyone was dead...
Sure enough, I haven't investigated the case for a long time and I feel unfamiliar.
Li Cake did not interrupt Lu Li and waited silently for the next chapter.
"Since Wu Zuo was not present, I did not touch the body rashly. I just took a close look at it."
"Ms. Mingyue seems to be asleep. There is no trauma at all, and there is no blood spilling from her mouth and nose."
Lu Li prides himself on being a white chapel hound. After entering the state, his professional ability has skyrocketed. In addition, he has learned some anatomy knowledge from assistant Bai Xiao, and he is really no worse than a coroner who specializes in autopsies——
The damage to the internal organs of a person who falls to death is usually much higher than the external damage, such as rupture of the liver, spleen, kidneys, stomach, heart and other organs, or the most intuitive one is a cracked skull.
And this does not mean that there are no external injuries. Mingyue is just an ordinary person, so there is no reason why there should be no traces of bruises and blood stasis.
After Li Bing heard this, he had no reaction at all. He probably thought this discovery was rare and ordinary, so he said in a cold voice: "Is there anything else?"
At this time, Lu Li opened his eyes: "Everyone has a love for beauty, and suicide is no exception. According to the maids, they all know that the lady took a special bath before committing suicide, but she was wearing the wrong clothes, and her whole body was... He only has his personal clothes, so he has obviously fallen asleep."
"Maybe I was tossing and turning, and the more I thought about it, the sadder I became, so I decided to commit suicide." Chao Heng couldn't help but interrupt.
"You'll know once you go upstairs and take a look."
After saying that, Lu Li glanced at the dark sky outside the window, suddenly jumped out, and then climbed up to the top of the attic with everyone's horrified eyes.
Ants still live in vain, let alone humans?
Even if Lady Mingyue suddenly couldn't think about it and had thoughts of death, she would inevitably hesitate for a period of time before committing suicide, lingering on the tiles repeatedly, crying, and even leaving a suicide note. This was instinctive.
Almost at the same time, Royal Cat Li Cake also jumped onto the roof, staring at the tiles with a pair of vertical pupils.
The place is steep, and one could fall if not careful, but this is not the point, but because of the danger, no one dares to come up to clean it. Over time, a layer of floating dust accumulates on the tiles, and as long as someone passes by, they will leave footprints.
"There are no stairs for a weak woman like Mingyue to climb, so she can only climb up like the two of us."
"In addition, after she reached the top of the building, she walked directly towards the edge without any hesitation."
Having said this, Lu Li looked at the female corpse below, which was surrounded by corpses, and added: "The last question is, if she wanted to die, why didn't she jump from the window sill? In fact, this place is not much higher."
ceremony?
Somehow, Lu Li thought of a word.
