After coming out of the autopsy room, Ning Yujin spread her hands and said: Nothing more than the known information was found.
However, she said something to Xu Jinsong very firmly: "Go to the Zhao Mansion again and conduct a thorough investigation of the remaining people. I always feel that the death of member Zhao is not quite right."
It was a matter of human life, so Xu Jinsong naturally did not dare to neglect, he quickly greeted three or two people, and then went to Zhao Yuanwai's house.
After seeing Xu Jinsong leave, Ning Yujin put her hands on the back of her head and said, "Axiao, we haven't visited the Yamen for so long. Do you want to go shopping?"
What's there to see in the Yamen? It's just a few houses and a few courtyards, and sending someone to Yunting Villa is not at all a thing.
When Mo Jingxiao and Ning Yujin were walking around the Yamen, they suddenly asked: "Did you find any other clues during the girl's autopsy?"
Ning Yujin was stunned for a moment, looked around, and then turned to look at Mo Jingxiao in surprise: "How did you know? I thought I hid it well!"
Mo Jingxiao pointed at her eyes: "You won't lie to me here."
"When you came out, your eyes were rolling, and you were obviously thinking about what to say. When you told Xu Jinsong that the man's death was not right and asked him to investigate again, you pretended to be serious and looked to the right. This proves that you are
lie."
Hey, isn't this the theory she told Murong Xuan last time?
Ning Yujin suddenly sighed: "Am I shooting myself in the foot?"
"Why did you lie to Xu Jinsong? Is he also involved in this case?" Mo Jingxiao asked as he walked.
Ning Yujin looked around again and again, fearing that there were ears in the wall, so Mo Jingxiao could only say: "There is no one nearby."
Mo Jingxiao said that there was no one, so Ning Yujin immediately felt relieved and said, "Axiao, do you know? I had doubts about butchers and doctors, but I forgot to doubt a particularly suspicious profession.
.”
Mo Jingxiao recalled her series of actions after she came out of the autopsy room, and frowned slightly: "Are you talking about Wu Zuo?"
"Yes." Ning Yujin nodded solemnly, "I was originally going to do the inspection myself, but when I thought of the poisonous oath you asked me to swear, I hesitated, and finally I just lied to him.
Mr. Zhao was poisoned to death by Mrs. Zhao, who asked him to perform an operation to see if there was any residual poison in his stomach. When he heard what I said, he didn’t doubt much, so..."
Mo Jingxiao took over and said, "Can you see some clues from the sword skills?"
"The technique and force of the knife were the same as those used on the victim. I didn't dare to alert the snake, and I couldn't be sure whether the two committed the crime alone or if it was related to some people in the yamen, so I simply put it to death first.
Besides, Xu Jinsong deceived me, that guy is a smart man, I'm afraid he will see something. It's okay if he is a good person, but if he is a bad person, that would be really bad."
Ning Yujin thought of Xu Jinsong and shook her head.
The only person she can trust now is Mo Jingxiao in front of her. Everyone else is suspected until the possibility of crime is 100% ruled out.
Mo Jingxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "So you want to visit the various government offices on a whim, because you want to..."
"Look at what Mr. Chen is like lingering on the sickbed!" Ning Yujin looked to one side, pursed her lips and clenched her fists.
The architecture here likes winding corridors, twists and turns, with some graceful tones like small bridges and flowing water.
This was so tragic that Ning Yujin, who liked to go straight when seeing many symmetrical buildings in Shengjing City, had to make many turns before arriving at the courtyard where Mr. Chen lived.
Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was stopped at the door.
Because of Xu Jinsong, most people in the prefect's yamen knew Ning Yujin and Mo Jingxiao, and they all bowed politely when they saw them.
Ning Yujin was naturally happy to see that they knew each other, and hurriedly expressed her intention: "Brother, we heard that Mr. Chen is ill in bed, so we came here specially to visit."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it into the hand of the gatekeeper, speaking very politely.
However, the gatekeeper was embarrassed for a moment and returned the money to Ning Yujin: "Mr. Ning, it's not that the young ones won't let you in. It's because the adults have ordered him to refuse all visitors while he is recuperating. The young ones can't either.
If I let you in without permission, there will be consequences."
"That's it, then I won't embarrass you." Ning Yujin still put the money into their hands, "Brother, you have worked hard, and this little money will be used to treat you two to a drink. Since Mr. Chen declined,
As guests, please don’t tell anyone else about our coming here, lest Mr. Chen finds out about it and has a bad impression of us.”
When the two gatekeepers saw Ning Yujin coming to the door, their faces immediately looked much better, and they accepted the money despite some hesitation.
Ning Yujin was about to leave, but through the door she saw one of the rooms inside opened, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old walked out of it, crying and walking towards the other end.
Ning Yujin said a little strangely: "Why is that girl dressed like a woman? Have you never heard that Mr. Chen has a son?"
"Well, that's our lord's thirteenth aunt." The official who took the money revealed something to Ning Yujin, "Isn't your lord dying soon? That girl is from a poor family and was sold to you by her family.
It’s for joy.”
Congratulations!
I'll do it!
Ning Yujin resisted the urge to curse in front of the two officials. She didn't take a deep breath until she was far away: "I thought he was a good official with clear political achievements, but he turned out to be worse than a beast!"
Seeing that the girl is only about the same age as her, doesn't this mean that after getting married, she will remain a widow for the rest of her life?
Seeing Ning Yujin's indignant look, Mo Jingxiao stopped and asked her, "Do you want to go back and take a look?"
"Yes!" Ning Yujin gritted her teeth and said, "If the man named Chen is really hanging with only one breath left, I will give him a shot and give him a ride!"
I'm going to save you from dying and harming other girls!
The two of them skimmed along and followed the sound to the room of the governor of various states. As soon as they opened a tile, they heard an old and angry voice coming from inside——
"Do you want to burn me to death? Do you want to burn me to death?!"
In the room, an old man was lying on a recliner, still wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket worn only in winter, with a thin blanket covering his knees. His face and hands were all bruised, and his face was a little blue and angry.
The appearance looks a bit ferocious.
And right at his feet, the woman Ning Yujin saw just now was sitting there paralyzed, covering her eyes with her sleeves, sobbing softly, with rice porridge scattered on the ground next to her.
