Chapter 24 Proving My Innocence



The aura of the Zongqin Prince at this moment was completely different from before, but his eyes kept glancing at Huian from time to time, without any concealment.

Seeing the prince like this, Su Liyue felt more and more that the second possibility she thought of was reasonable.

The person in the dark must want to use Master Huian as a target in order to let the prince of the clan deal with him.

After all, the prince is still the younger brother of the late emperor, and is also the patriarch of the current royal clan. It is more than enough to use him to deal with her, the unpopular Princess Zhan.

It can be said that it is possible that the prince killed her - this can be confirmed from the prince's attitude towards her today.

After all, the fact that the prince cares about Master Huian is probably no secret in the entire capital.

But, if that were the case, why didn't the murderer just kill Huian directly, but instead stuck the hairpin into the already dead Huijue? Isn't that a superfluous act?

Or is it that the murderer did this to hide something?

Su Liyue was a little confused, but she inexplicably felt that there must be a connection between the two.

After all, there is still a grudge between Huijue and her... Thinking of Huijue, Su Liyue suddenly thought of Shangguan Ruoning.

Could it be that this matter is also related to Shangguan Ruoning?

After all, Huijue killed the original owner with the help of Shangguan Ruoning.

Su Liyue squatted in front of Huijue while guessing.

She would find a way to find out who was behind this, but this case was not her business; the most urgent thing was to prove her innocence.

Su Liyue gently lifted Huijue's clothes on his chest, revealing the wound.

The flesh of the wound was dry and white, with no blood clots.

Su Liyue asked someone to bring a wet towel, and gently wiped it with the wet towel, and some of the blood stains around were wiped off.

In this way, Su Liyue became even more certain that the wound on Huijue's chest was caused after death.

Because if it is an injury sustained during life, there will be bright red blood clots in the wound, and the gaps between the surrounding tissues will be stained, which cannot be wiped off with a handkerchief.

However, this only proves that the hairpin was not a fatal injury, but it cannot prove his innocence.

Therefore, she still had to find the fatal injury.

Thinking of this, his mind sank and his eyes began to scan Huijue.

Soon, Su Liyue made a new discovery and her eyes suddenly darkened.

Then, Su Liyue stood up and looked at Master Chu with a sharp gaze, "Master Chu, please prepare a small room, charcoal fire, and wine and vinegar."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Wine, vinegar, and charcoal fire... Is this really an autopsy?

Upon hearing this, Lord Chu seemed to have thought of something and glanced at the coroner.

Obviously, the coroner's face was a little pale and there was sweat on his forehead, which looked a little unusual.

Besides Lord Chu, Su Liyue and Ye Cangming were also observing the coroner's condition at this moment.

After Ye Cangming withdrew his gaze from the coroner, it fell on Su Liyue.

At this moment, Su Liyue had her back straight, her eyes shining, and she looked confident, very different from the other women.

At this moment, she seemed to be shrouded in a dazzling light.

Unconsciously, Ye Cangming couldn't take his eyes off her.

But when Ye Cangming realized what he was doing, the face under the mask became dark again.

The already tense atmosphere in the hall became even more tense due to the change in Ye Cangming's aura.

Su Liyue felt the gaze falling on her, and couldn't help but look at Ye Cangming, but happened to meet Ye Cangming's cold gaze.

Su Liyue: "..." What did she do to him?

Just when he was wondering, he saw Ye Cangming suddenly stand up angrily and turn around and leave.

Before leaving, he looked at her with extremely cold eyes, as if she had offended him.

It's totally incomprehensible.

Looking at Ye Cangming's back, Su Liyue felt a little angry.

As soon as Ye Cangming left, the atmosphere in the hall became tense again.

The deadlock in the hall was not broken until Lord Chu ordered someone to arrange the matters Su Liyue mentioned.

As time passed, after the yamen runner came and said that the room had been heated up, Su Liyue ordered people to carry the body to that room, and asked the prince, the eldest princess and Lord Chu to go together to witness it.

Because the room was small and the fire was burning brightly, the temperature in the room was very high.

The body was already warm soon after it was carried in.

The body was carried out, and in front of everyone, Su Liyue applied paper soaked in wine and vinegar on the body.

After a while, a palm print appeared on Huijue's back.

The palm print was dark blue in color, clearly indicating a serious injury, and if one looked closely, one could see a broken spine.

Obviously, this palm print was a fatal wound.

Anyone who can inflict such a fatal injury must have internal strength.

"Master Chu, this part of Master Huijue's back was the fatal wound, and the hairpin was inserted after her death..."

As she spoke, Su Liyue analyzed the reason why the hairpin was inserted after death.

Listening to Su Liyue's words, Lord Chu's eyes showed shock and admiration.

Although there are some things that he might not have thought of if Su Liyue had not done them, but with his many years of experience in solving cases, Lord Chu knew that what Su Liyue said was true.

It’s a pity that she is a woman, otherwise he would definitely report to the emperor and let her serve the court.

Just as Master Chu was about to say something, he saw the yamen runner in front of the hall suddenly run over, his face full of anxiety, "Master, this is bad, the coroner has been poisoned."

When the bailiff said this, everyone was shocked.

However, when the group returned to the hall, the coroner had already passed away.

The people watching from outside saw the coroner being poisoned with their own eyes, and all of them had panic on their faces.
