Chapter 243 Go Now
As the three of them walked out of the palace gate, they happened to run into Jiang Jingyan.
"Sister, where are you going? Are you going to investigate a case?" Jiang Jingyan glanced at Qu Xinwen next to him. He was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. He must have come to see his sister because of the case.
"Well, do you have something to say?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"Tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday. I came to tell you that you and your family should remember to return to the Duke of England's Mansion." Jiang Jingyan came mainly to tell her this.
"This must be taken back." Jiang Yunxi said.
"Can I go with you guys to take a look?" Jiang Jingyan asked eagerly. Since he was already here, he might as well join in the fun.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him meaningfully, "Are you sure you want to go?"
Jiang Jingyan nodded heavily, this is what he encountered.
"What about you?" Jiang Yunxi turned and looked at Chu Leyi.
"I, I want to go too." Chu Leyi said with her chin slightly raised. She was quite familiar with Minister Sun's daughter, so she just wanted to comfort her.
Jiang Yunxi didn't say anything, and the group quickly ran towards the Sun family.
…
When Jiang Yunxi arrived, there were two rows of guards standing at the door of the Sun family's house. They didn't look like officials from Jingzhao Prefecture, but more like the royal guards of the palace.
When they arrived at the yard where Sun Hanyu's study was, there were many people outside the yard.
"Sir Qu." When the people from Jingzhao Prefecture saw Qu Xinwen coming, they hurried forward. They didn't dare to go in at all and stayed outside the yard.
"Has anyone come from the palace?" Qu Xinwen asked. With such a big thing happening, he asked someone to notify the Ministry of Justice. It was probably the Minister of Justice who reported it to the emperor.
"Your Highness Prince Han, several princes, the Minister of Justice, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court are all here." said the officer.
Qu Xinwen nodded and took Jiang Yunxi and the others to the yard.
As soon as I entered, I saw several princes.
Qu Xinwen saluted quickly.
Jiang Jingyan and Chu Leyi also saluted.
"Jiang Yunxi, what are you doing here?" Zhan Yuyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yunxi. Why was she everywhere?
"Of course it was Lord Qu who invited me here." Jiang Yunxi said and walked straight to the door of the study.
Zhan Yuyang: "..."
study.
Zhan Beiyuan, Minister of Justice Min Zhi, and Supreme Court Minister Dong Zeyang all stood at the door and did not approach the desk.
Two coroners stood nearby, their faces pale. They had been performing autopsies for decades, but this was the first time they had encountered such a strange corpse. They had no way of examining it because the murderer was too cruel and vicious.
"Your Highness Prince Han." Qu Xinwen quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Zhan Beiyuan turned around and saw Jiang Yunxi coming. When he arrived, he didn't see Qu Xinwen, so he knew that he had gone to invite her. He walked towards her, "You already know the situation, right?"
Jiang Yunxi nodded, "I'll go take a look."
"It's a bit scary." Zhan Beiyuan reminded her. Even though he had seen all kinds of bloody scenes, he still felt his scalp tingling when he saw it before, and he almost couldn't help retching.
Several princes were so frightened that they ran out.
The Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court also turned around and walked outside.
"It's okay." Jiang Yunxi said as he picked up the gloves next to him and put them on. He guessed that the coroner wanted to perform an autopsy, but found that it was impossible to do so.
When Jiang Jingyan and Chu Leyi saw the corpse in front of the desk, their eyes widened. The next second, they rushed out, their bodies covered with goose bumps and nausea.
It’s so cruel!
How could the murderer do this!
All the flesh on the body was removed, leaving only a skull on the head. How long would this take? No one in the Sun family noticed anything unusual last night?
Jiang Yunxi approached and looked at it intently. Although she was shocked, she was not afraid. When she was in the underworld, she had seen eerie white bones, but the corpse in front of her was still scary.
If someone had cut the bones one by one, then he must have mastered a strange set of bone-cutting techniques, otherwise how could he have cut the body into this shape in such a short time.
But if you say that the other party has professional skills, the bones are not cut evenly.
Either way, deboning takes time.
Was there no one outside the study at that time?
Otherwise, you will notice something strange in the house.
Jiang Yunxi took a quick look, then looked at the body parts scattered around, with a sharp chill in his eyes.
The murderer was deliberately provoking the royal family.
How dare the capital city under the emperor's feet so cruelly kill a minister of the second rank in the court, who was also the Shangshu in charge of the Ministry of War? How arrogant!
"Miss Jiang, did you see anything? Was it man-made?" Qu Xinwen asked in a low voice.
"If it's not man-made, what do you think did it?" Jiang Yunxi looked at him and thought about this question at the same time. Is it possible that it really wasn't done by humans?
Qu Xinwen was a little confused by the question and stammered, "I, I don't know..."
Jiang Yunxi walked towards Zhan Beiyuan. "There are no signs of a struggle in the room. Lord Sun was killed first and then his bones were removed. He was killed quietly without alerting the servants. The murderer might be someone he knew well and was off guard."
"Of course, there are other scenarios. The killer sneaked into the Sun Mansion, killed him with a hidden weapon, and then went into the house to remove his bones."
"Both situations you mentioned are possible." Zhan Beiyuan nodded. He didn't expect that such a brutal murder would happen in the capital city with good public security, and the victim was the Minister of War.
"Sir Qu, are all the people from the Sun family outside?" Jiang Yunxi asked. There were no ghosts here, and the soul of the Minister of War was not there.
"Yes, the old lady fainted when she heard the news of her son's death. Madam Sun and other family members are outside the yard." Qu Xinwen said.
"Go ask them." Jiang Yunxi walked outside.
Zhan Yuyang stepped forward after seeing them come out, "Uncle, have you found anything?"
Zhan Beiyuan gave him a cold look and said, "No comment."
Zhan Yuyang: "..."
Outside the yard.
Mrs. Sun's face was covered with tears, and she was crying heartbreakingly. Her sons and daughters beside her were also crying.
Chu Leyi was comforting a woman of the same age as her.
Jiang Yunxi walked straight up to the richly dressed woman and asked, "Madam Sun, what time did you leave here last night? Wasn't there a servant waiting outside the study?"
Madam Sun wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "I went there around 4:45 pm, delivered the ginseng soup, and left. Steward Du was outside, but he said that at 1:15 pm the master told him to go back and rest, so no one was outside."
"Does he have a deep hatred for anyone?" Jiang Yunxi asked. There was no fighting in the house, and no signs of rummaging. It was obvious that it was not about money, but the other party just wanted Sun Hanyu dead.
"The master has a good temper and never makes enemies with others outside." Mrs. Sun said after thinking for a while.
"Can you tell me his birth date?" Jiang Yunxi said. Judging from the bones alone, no one dared to say it was Lord Sun, but the birth date could tell her whether the other person was still alive.
"Madam Sun, we can't be sure it's Lord Sun just by looking at the bones. Miss Jiang wants to see his birth date and eight characters to see if Lord Sun is still alive." Qu Xinwen explained.
"Sir Qu, Sir Sun was in the study last night, and Steward Du left at 12:00. The person in the room must be Sir Sun. How can one use birth date and eight characters to calculate whether a person is alive or dead?" Minister of Justice Min Zhi said expressionlessly.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at Madam Sun with sharp eyes, "Go and get the family tree."
Madam Sun dared not disobey and immediately arranged for Butler Du to go and get it.
After a while.
Butler Du brought the family tree and opened the page about Lord Sun for Jiang Yunxi to see.
Jiang Yunxi stared at the detailed birthday and said, "Master Sun is indeed dead."
Zhan Beiyuan looked at Min Zhi and said in a cold voice, "Sir Min, you are the Minister of Justice. It is better for you to investigate the death of Lord Sun together with the Ministry of Justice and the Jingzhao Prefecture."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yunxi and motioned them to leave.
Jiang Yunxi smiled and left with him.
Qu Xinwen: “…”
In the carriage.
"Why are you here to help again?" Zhan Beiyuan said coldly.
"Master Qu described it so horribly that I came here out of curiosity. However, Master Sun's death really shocked me." Jiang Yunxi's face was solemn. She always felt that things were not that simple and it was not an ordinary murder.
Zhan Beiyuan glanced at her and said, "This king hopes you will care more about yourself."
Jiang Yunxi said, "I want to explore the secret room under the East Palace again."
"Maybe not."
"Why? I suspect my soul is suppressed in the altar."
"Now."
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
You change your expression so quickly.
After arriving at the Eastern Palace, Jiang Yunxi understood why Zhan Beiyuan said that it might not work.
