After Su Chen saw the body of the eunuch Xiao Guizi, he looked suspicious, because through common medical knowledge and forensic knowledge, he could be sure that the little eunuch did not commit suicide, but died of homicide. To be precise, he was strangled to death!

Peng Qingqing stepped forward and asked, "Su Chen, this eunuch committed suicide out of fear of guilt. We can't investigate further."

Su Chen pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is very complicated, and this person did not die of suicide."

"What, it wasn't suicide?" Peng Qingqing was surprised.

Su Chen didn't say anything more, but turned to Princess Yongning and Yuchixin and said, "Your Royal Highness, Commander Yuchi, this little eunuch did not die of hanging, but was strangled to death!"

"Strangled to death?"

Everyone present was extremely surprised and shocked by Su Chen's conclusion.

Poisoning by eunuchs was a serious challenge to the imperial power and a disgrace to the royal family.

Now after the eunuch was poisoned, he was killed by someone else, and no one knows who the murderer was, which further damaged the royal family's face.

Just thinking about such a dangerous harem environment gives people headaches, fear, and fear!

Princess Yongning's pretty face changed slightly, her eyes looked at Su Chen, and she didn't look like she was joking. She frowned and said with some hesitation: "Su Chen, this matter is not trivial. Are you sure that he died of homicide?"

Yu Chixin questioned a little: "The scene is very clear. There are no other injuries on the little eunuch's body, only the marks on his neck. He was hanging on the rope from the beam. Everyone saw it. How can we tell that he did not hang himself?"

Kill for him?"

"That's right, you can't just make random assumptions, you have to pay attention to evidence!"

"It is obvious that he committed suicide out of fear of crime, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

The surrounding doctors and eunuchs were talking a lot. They thought it was very intuitive to commit suicide by hanging from a beam. How could we tell that he was killed? Could it be a random guess?

Zhou Jiamin and Princess Yongjia seemed to have a conflict when they heard this, and they all gathered around. After learning about the point of dispute, they also looked at Su Chen curiously.

"Su Chen, do you have any evidence?" Princess Yongning asked. The palace eunuch was killed and was also involved in poisoning the prince. The matter is serious and we cannot make casual guesses or talk nonsense.

Su Chen nodded slightly, with a calm expression on his face, as if he had everything in mind, which gave people a feeling of peace of mind.

People who were familiar with him, such as Zhou Jiamin and Peng Qingqing, could tell by looking at his expression that what Su Chen said was probably true, and they all looked curious.

"Back to Princess, there is a difference between hanging a corpse before death and hanging a corpse after being strangled. For example, when a corpse is strangled and hung, the person is already dead and the blood flow stops, so the marks on the hanging parts are shallower and there is less congestion.

Those who were hanged before death had heavier and heavier bruises due to a large amount of blood being blocked."

"Secondly, the signs of struggle are different. For those who hang themselves, the eyes are closed, the lips are open, the hands are held, and the teeth are exposed; if the hanging is above the throat, the tongue is against the teeth; below the throat, the tongue is protruding, and there is drool on the chest. If

If someone is beaten and strangled, pretending to hang himself, the mouth and eyes will be opened, the hands will be scattered, and the physical symptoms will be different."

"The third point is that you can see it just by looking at the marks on the hanging beams. If someone hanged himself, there would definitely be a struggle after hanging, and the marks on the beams will be worn. If they were hung after death, there will be only one mark.

"

Based on the doctor's experience in his mind, Su Chen mentioned three main aspects and the easiest way to identify them.

After everyone heard this, they all looked surprised. Then the brave ones, such as the commander of the imperial guards, Wei Chixin, the imperial guard Fu Dongsheng, the commander Guo Sheng, etc., stepped forward to observe, and sure enough, several of the characteristics of the corpse were the same as what Su Chen had described.

.

Peng Qingqing jumped up onto the beam and observed the marks on the beam. Sure enough, there was only a shallow strangulation mark and no trace of friction.

Yu Chixin understood and jumped up. After finding that the situation was just as Su Chen said, his face darkened. The little eunuch who had poisoned was killed and silenced. The situation seemed to be getting worse.

Several other imperial doctors followed Su Chen's method and combined with their medical practice experience, and quickly verified the correctness of these three points, and they admired Su Chen's medical skills even more.

Princess Yongning had seen the expressions of these people and already understood in her heart that perhaps what Su Chen said was true. The young eunuch was strangled to death instead of hanging himself. So "suicide out of fear of crime" becomes "murder to silence", and its nature is

Completely different.

Who is the murderer? He is probably hiding in the palace. Thinking of this, Princess Yongning herself felt a bit cold and angry.

Princess Yongning looked at Su Chen and asked, "Mr. Su, how should we investigate next?"

Su Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this. He was not Sherlock Holmes, Di Renjie, or Song Ci. He didn't know much about solving crimes. Besides, there was no fingerprint verification system or surveillance video. It was too difficult to investigate cases in ancient times.

It is difficult to determine whether this young nobleman is a poisoner.

Perhaps Xiao Guizi was the poisoner, and the people behind the scenes were worried that he would leak the secret, so they silenced him.

It is also possible that Xiao Guizi was not the poisoner at all, but coincidentally left for a while while carrying the decoction due to stomach discomfort, which led to suspicion on him. The mastermind behind the scenes saw this and sent someone to silence him.

, disguised as suicide, making the little eunuch a scapegoat.

In short, things are even more complicated and confusing!

"There is no other way for now. We can only check here. Let's go back and report back to the officials and the Queen Mother. It's more important to save His Highness the Prince first." Su Chen replied calmly.

"That's fine!" Princess Yongning nodded. Although she was a princess and had a distinguished status, she had been in contact with Su Chen for a long time and would not naturally ask him for his opinions. She felt that she was in front of him, whether it was knowledge, knowledge, or experience.

Wisdom, etc., seemed to be lacking. She, who had always been praised by her mother and elders for her talent, felt that she could not compare with Su Chen.

"They're all dead. It's really unlucky. It's better to leave here as soon as possible." After all, Princess Yongjia is a little girl, about the same age as Ling'er. She has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child. She has never seen a strangled dead person, so she refuses to stay.

.

Yu Chixin nodded and asked the guards to carry away the body of the eunuch Xiao Guizi first and place it in the temporary morgue in the palace to wait for processing. He and part of the guards escorted the two princesses, the queen's sister, Su Chen and others back to the second prince's home.

Sleeping hall.

When Li Yu saw that everyone was coming, he asked them if they had gone to investigate the case and if they had any clues.

Su Chen cupped his hands and said, "Because it involves the grassroots' own case, in order to avoid suspicion, let's ask Princess Yongning to answer it."

Princess Yongning glanced at Su Chen, and admired the young man's prudentness and thoughtfulness in his work, so she took the initiative to explain to the Empress Dowager Zhong and Li Yu. They accompanied Su Chen, checked the dosage of the medicine at the Shang Yao Bureau, and checked the eunuch Xiao Guizi in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Everything about his death was told.

Since she had been reading a lot of drama scripts and legends recently, she talked about them clearly and vividly. Even though Empress Dowager Zhong and Li Yu didn't see it with their own eyes, they could understand everything after listening to it.

"There is such a bastard thing!" Queen Mother Zhong was a little angry. There was a eunuch in the palace who poisoned the prince and was killed and silenced. She treated the palace as a place.

Li Yu's face also darkened, and he planned to investigate the matter thoroughly, and ordered: "Immediately inform the Minister of Dali Temple, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Imperial Censor to enter the palace, and I will ask the Third Division to conduct a thorough investigation!"
