Chapter 91 91 Shi Mansion
The courtyard where Ning Haitao was imprisoned has been guarded by guards and constables.
There were not enough constables, and the guards were from the Shi residence. If we only left them in charge, we would worry about collusion behind the scenes, so all the courtyards were guarded by two groups of people together.
This was Su Yan's idea.
The detectives all admired this young coroner for his many clever ideas.
I especially admire the fact that she can receive a salary even though she has hardly worked on duty. This is extremely enviable.
Su Yan walked into the yard first, followed closely by Shi Yangui.
Although Su Yan came to the Great Zhou Dynasty since he was a child, he is actually not very familiar with the etiquette here. They are ordinary people who just want to make a living, so why would they care about etiquette?
Only officials and dignitaries understand etiquette.
So she didn't have to have Shi Yangui walk in front.
Shi Yangui is not her boss, so there is no need for her to curry favor with him.
The constables and guards were all staring with astonishment.
Just went in so quietly?
Shi Yangui also had no reaction? ?
Su Yan went straight to the second floor.
She first went to the first floor and then tried to climb the difficult window. She had not rested tonight and was a little tired, so the climb was a little difficult.
Shi Yangui looked down for a while and said, "Why are you..."
Su Yan: "I can do it, don't worry."
Shi Yangui: "I want to say..."
Su Yan: "How annoying! Stop interrupting me all the time."
Shi Yangui shut up.
After Su Yan climbed up with great effort, he turned around and looked at Shi Yangui below, "You come up too."
Shi Yangui nodded and walked out.
Su Yan shouted, "Where are you going?"
Shi Yan Gui: "Take the stairs."
Su Yan: “…”
Yes, there are stairs.
No, why is she climbing this thing? She's not imprisoned?!
Why didn't Shi Yangui remind her earlier? !
Su Yan: “…”
No, she reminded him to shut up.
Su Yan: “…”
I have a slight headache.
When Shi Yan came back, Su Yan looked at him angrily.
Shi Yangui looked innocent, as if he wanted to give a reminder but failed.
Su Yan curled his lips. After all, he couldn't scold himself, so the matter was over.
She walked over to the dressing mirror and found a dressing box.
When she opened it and looked at it when she came just now, she found that they were all ordinary women's jewelry. She thought it was used by Ning Haitao, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Shi Yangui asked: "You just want to see these?"
Su Yan said: "Don't you think these jewellery are beautiful?"
Shi Yangui was stunned for a moment, then said carefully: "If you like it, I can buy it for you. If you don't need it..."
Su Yan: “…”
Thank him so much.
Su Yan said: "I was wondering if these jewellery looks a bit young?"
Shi Yan Gui was puzzled.
Su Yan said: "Ning Haitao is now over 40, but the jewelry she uses is still used by women in their twenties."
Shi Yangui said: "When she was locked up, she was only in her twenties. These are her old jewelry."
"But these jewellery are still being used by people," Su Yan said. "Look at the dressing mirror, dressing table, and even this box. They are all clean and dust-free. This shows that the people who live here love beauty and even live with a good attitude. Look at the ground again. There are long hairs. The people who live here have also dressed up."
Su Yan picked out a few pieces of jewelry and said, "Look, these pieces have more signs of wear and tear, and there is no dust, which means they are often used. Although the other pieces of jewelry are also clean, if you look closely at the gaps, there is dust, which means no one has taken care of them."
Shi Yangui didn't know much about jewelry, "What does this mean?"
Su Yan said: "The jewelry that is often used is used by unmarried women, and the jewelry that has not been used is used by married women to tie their hair."
"you mean……"
"She is not married yet."
Shi Yangui was surprised, "Isn't it Ning Haitao?"
"I don't know," Su Yan said truthfully, "I really can't understand why Ning Haitao killed the old lady first and then the eldest lady. If it were me, I would definitely kill your mother first."
Since she is free, there is no reason for her to hide in the yard all the time. She can continue to live a peaceful life.
Su Yan said: "She hasn't been found yet. We don't know where she is hiding. There are too many places to hide in the mansion. The fastest way is to do an autopsy. I just don't know where she is buried. Is it convenient to go there?"
Shi Yangui said: "If it is really as you think, even if we catch her, we still need to do an autopsy. In this case, we might as well do an autopsy directly."
"Where are her remains?"
Shi Yan Gui said: "Third Uncle may know better."
Su Yan: “…”
How come Shi Yangui doesn't know anything?
Liang Yi had already finished interrogating the nanny. Seeing Su Yan and Shi Yan returning, he ran over excitedly to take credit, "I have interrogated too many things. Do you know? The old lady actually had other lovers when she was young, and she was forced to marry. And the first lady, she wanted to remarry, but the old lady disagreed. The second lady was also very strange, and seemed to have a close relationship with several guards. And... "
Su Yan: “…”
He found out all the romantic news in the Shi family.
Shi Yan Gui said: "Let's talk about this later. You'd better go with us."
"Where are you going?"
Shi Yangui said: "Digging up the grave and performing an autopsy."
Everybody looked over here.
Shi Pei's expression changed slightly, "Whose body do you want to examine?"
"Yes, the old lady has not been buried yet, and neither has the first lady. Whose body are you going to examine? Could it be that Ning Haitao is already dead and buried?"
Shi Yangui looked at Shi Pei and said, "What we need to examine is Shi Baiwei's body."
Shi Yanqing frowned and asked, "Why?"
Shi Baiwei and Shi Yanqing have the same father but different mothers, and she is his sister.
However, Shi Yanqing had never seen her. This sister had passed away when he was born.
Shi Baiwei was born to a concubine. Although no one else said anything, Shi Yanqing actually didn't like her very much.
Born to a concubine, his status is different from his.
Shi Pei said: "Bai Wei has passed away for many years, why do you want to examine her body? She was only fourteen years old when she died, let her rest in peace."
Shi Baiwei is smart and cute, and Shi Pei still likes this niece very much.
No one can accept the idea of digging up graves and performing autopsies. What's the difference between this and dragging out a corpse and whipping it?
Shi Yangui said: "This is a serious matter, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take us there."
After some struggle, Shi Pei nodded. He couldn't stop Shi Yangui from doing what he wanted to do.
"Bai Wei was moved to the ancestral cemetery a few years ago. If we want to dig up the grave..." Shi Pei couldn't bear to continue.
Shi Yan Gui said: "It would be best to go now. It's dark and others can't see us."
Shi Pei could only nod.
It would be bad if the news of digging up other people's graves got out, so besides Shi Yangui and Liang Yi, Su Yan only brought two constables with him.
As for Shi Yangui's guards, she couldn't care less about them. They were all in the dark, but not too dark for Su Yan to notice.
The constable was at a distance from them. Su Yan was curious and asked, "Do you always have so many people protecting you?"
Liang Yi spoke quickly, "He came back this time to completely eliminate Zhao Mingde. Both sides are very vigilant."
Su Yan said: "Will he send someone to assassinate me?"
"Of course, we only have Brother Yan Gui on our side," Liang Yi said, "Brother Yan Gui is very important. He is not only a soldier guarding the border, but most importantly, he is the King of Qunan."
The Hu people will not pose a threat to the Great Zhou at present, but even so, the soldiers on the border cannot be mobilized at will.
If he leads his troops back to the capital, the Hu people will surely take the opportunity to advance eastward.
Su Yan asked: "Who is the King of Qunan?"
"Among the vassal states that were granted fiefdoms when the Great Zhou was established, only King Qunan still has some troops. Now the garrison in the capital is almost all Zhao Mingde's men. If we start a war in the capital, we will suffer."
"Will King Qunan help you?"
Liang Yi nodded, "King Qunan dotes on his eldest son very much. Brother Yan Gui once saved him, and the two sides have always had a good relationship. He wanted to sit down and talk with Brother Yan Gui several times. Once the talks were successful, King Qunan would send troops to help, and Zhao Mingde would become the weaker party."
Su Yan asked curiously, "Haven't you talked about it yet? This is a good thing."
"Of course we have to talk, but we can't talk right away. It will take some time for Prince Qunan to get to the capital, and he can't reveal his whereabouts. We also have to find a way to transport troops here without alerting Zhao Mingde. If we bring troops here directly, what if Zhao Mingde gets desperate?"
Su Yan said: "So for Zhao Mingde, it is a problem for King Qunan to help you. For you, how to help still needs to be planned?"
Liang Yi said: "That's what I mean."
Su Yan shook his head, "It's too complicated, an autopsy is easier."
Liang Yi: “…”
He felt that digging a grave was not that easy.
