A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1519 Suicide or Kill Him, It's Confusing
The second elder is dead!
Just when they were suspecting the Second Elder, the Second Elder suddenly died in his own house, or rather, someone moved him into the house after his death.
Feng Qingchen's face looked very unhappy. Under the guidance of Feng Lizhi, she strode towards the second elder's room. When she was about to go in, another unpleasant thing happened.
The second elder's son stopped the Ninth Prince and said, "You can't go in."
The Ninth Prince's eyes turned cold, and before he could speak, Feng Qingchen, who was walking in front, turned around and said, "He is the person I brought with me."
"He is not from the Fengli clan." Feng Lirong, the son of the second elder, stood in front of the Ninth Uncle and refused to give way.
"Hmph..." The Ninth Prince sneered, but did not embarrass Feng Qingchen. Instead, he took a step back very gracefully.
Feng Lirong breathed a sigh of relief, but it was too early for him to be happy. Feng Qingchen turned back and held the Ninth Prince's hand: "He is not a member of the Fengli clan, but he is one of mine. There is no place that my people cannot enter."
"No." Feng Lirong tried to stop her, but Feng Qingchen waved her away: "Get out of the way."
"Big..." Feng Lirong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Feng Liyou: "Young Miss has her own intentions when doing things. Have you ever seen Young Miss let him into the meeting room?"
Feng Liyou knew that Feng Qingchen seemed careless in her actions, but she was actually very sensible. Although she would challenge the existence of rules, she would not do whatever she wanted and make people think that she was arrogant.
She chipped away at the situation step by step, and before anyone knew it, she had taken a dominant position and gained control.
Feng Lirong snorted and said nothing more. His son comforted him.
The Second Elder's lineage was just like him. They were very low-key in the Fengli Clan, almost invisible, and they were not particularly close to anyone. Naturally, no one stood up to speak for them at this time.
When Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince walked in, they saw the Second Elder's body lying straight on the bed. For a moment, Feng Qingchen felt very sad and depressed.
He was fine last night, but died in just a few hours.
Feng Qingchen sighed and went forward to check the Second Elder's body. Due to the weather, the Second Elder's body had become stiff, and Feng Qingchen could not infer when the Second Elder died from the extent of the damage to the body.
Once again, Feng Qingchen sighed, thinking that it would be great if her senior sister was here. With her experience, she would definitely be able to find out the time of the Second Elder's death, instead of just being able to infer an approximate time like her.
"The fatal wound was the knife on the neck, which severed the artery and caused death from blood loss. There were no other external injuries and no signs of resistance." Feng Qingchen put on gloves and checked along the way.
Feng Lirong was stunned, and the others were not much better.
The young lady can also perform autopsies?
Is there anything she can't do?
Feng Qingchen didn't have time to pay attention to the fiery eyes behind him, and continued to check. He opened the palm of the second elder and found a small piece of paper inside. Feng Qingchen took it out carefully. There was a little ink on it. The piece of paper was only the size of a finger, and it was impossible to tell what the words were.
Apart from that, no clues were found. There was not even a speck of dirt between the fingers, let alone any hair that had been grabbed during the scuffle.
Feng Qingchen turned back again and continued to check the wound on his neck.
The wound was crushed and it was impossible to tell how he was injured. The Second Elder did not show any expression of excessive pain before he died, only astonishment and shock.
"If it wasn't suicide, then the person who did it must be an acquaintance." After Feng Qingchen finished speaking, he realized that he had said nonsense. There were only members of the Fengli clan here, and no outsiders at all.
Feng Qingchen added, "That acquaintance should be someone the Second Elder is very familiar with, otherwise he wouldn't be unprepared. Judging from the Second Elder's expression, he shouldn't have any counterattacks, and the possibility of suicide cannot be ruled out."
"Miss, my father would never commit suicide." Feng Lirong stood up, with a trace of sadness on her face, but she suppressed it.
"The Second Elder didn't struggle or fight back at all. Even if the opponent had hit him with a knife, he could have struggled, but he didn't." There were water marks on the Second Elder's clothes, which should have been caused by ice.
If he was not waiting to die, then when he fell to the ground, the Second Elder's hands would at least have touched the ground, or he would have touched his wounds, but the Second Elder did nothing and his hands were clean.
Feng Qingchen told his speculation. Feng Lirong was stunned and stood there for a long time without knowing what to say. His son was relatively calm and asked in a low voice: "If grandpa committed suicide, why was he lying in the room? There was no blood on his body. Could grandpa crawl in by himself if he died?"
The second elder's body was found in the room, but this was not the crime scene.
"Good question." Feng Qingchen glanced at him approvingly: "This means that there is help. Whether it is suicide or homicide, it is just a guess now. Have you found the crime scene? Let's go to the crime scene and take a look."
Feng Qingchen took off his gloves and asked Feng Lirong.
"No. I asked people to look for it, but they didn't find any bloodstains, and no one saw where my father went before." Feng Lirong said in a hoarse voice, and it was obvious that he was very sad.
Yes, his biological father died, how could he not be sad.
"One day. We still have one day. If we can't find the crime scene within one day, we will have to evacuate first." Feng Qingchen said to Feng Lirong, also telling him that if the crime scene could not be found, the matter might be left unresolved because there would be no evidence.
"My father was killed." Feng Lirong yelled at Feng Qingchen with red eyes.
"We don't rule out this possibility. I'll give you one day to find the murderer. You can interrogate anyone, including me." Feng Qingchen did not take on this matter.
"Four hours have passed since we separated last night. You can interrogate anyone about where they have been during these four hours." Feng Qingchen pointed Feng Lirong in a clear direction.
She didn't have time to interrogate the suspect personally, so it would be best to leave this task to Feng Lirong. She believed that Feng Lirong could do her best.
"Anyone can interrogate?" Feng Lirong looked at Feng Qingchen and confirmed again.
Feng Qingchen nodded: "Anyone including me, for the sake of fairness, you can start with me."
She had a strong alibi and plenty of witnesses.
"Thank you, Miss." Feng Lirong was not polite and started questioning Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince.
Feng Qingchen was out all night last night and quickly explained his whereabouts, proving his innocence. Feng Lirong did not bother to argue with him any further and went to interrogate the other suspects following Feng Qingchen's orders.
"What do you think?" Feng Qingchen returned to the room and washed his hands carefully.
"It should be suicide." The Ninth Prince tapped the table lightly, one by one, with a very rhythmic feeling.
This is his habit. When thinking about a problem, he likes to tap the table with his fingers. The speed is not fast, even a little slow. Most people will get more irritated when hearing this sound, but the Ninth Prince will not.
"I also think it was suicide. If it was homicide, there would be no need to tear the wound apart." Stabbing yourself with a knife and being stabbed by someone else will make a different difference in the blade and the degree of force used. Anyone with a little common sense knows this.
It was precisely because of the suspicion that Feng Qingchen told Feng Lirong in front of him that the Second Elder might have committed suicide.
"It's just that I can't understand why the Second Elder committed suicide. Could it be that he knew about our suspicions? But that doesn't make sense. As long as he refuses to admit it, I have no evidence for what happened more than ten years ago."
Feng Qingchen couldn’t understand why the Second Elder wanted to commit suicide. Did he want to use his death to tell them something, or to stop them from continuing their investigation?
