Chapter 36: Discovery

Passing through the front yard and atrium of Princess Gaoyang's mansion, you will soon come to the location of the inner house.

I saw an area in front of me, coiled with white coils.

Cheng Daozhi: "That's lime, used to encircle the traces, so that the people investigating the case will not destroy the scene." ”

The servant of Dali Temple whispered: "This method is taught by Su Shaoqing." ”

"Huh?"

It was the first time Cheng Daozhi heard about this, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.

He said: "Su Shaoqing was originally a bad handsome man in Chang'an, and he investigated the case several times, and paid attention to protecting the traces of the scene, but later everyone saw it and gradually learned to do it." ”

"I see."

Cheng Daozhi was a little embarrassed: "It's that some of my classes have axes." ”

Su Dawei waved his hand: "It is important to investigate the case." ”

I'm not in the mood to be polite.

He was not as confident as he had been when he first entered the house.

Just listening to what Cheng Daozhi said, he had already intuitively discovered that this case was not as simple as he imagined.

Probably not an ordinary killing.

The other party was not impulsive, but premeditated.

And he can kill all the people in the house, and the princess, but he doesn't show any traces.

Seems to be very human.

Su Dawei's gaze was fixed on the ground.

He stood aside, pointed to the place surrounded by lime powder and said, "This footprint, we have checked, should be left by Su Shaoqing when she visited the princess yesterday." ”

Based on the footprints, you can determine the height of the comer, as well as the weight characteristics.

By making a comparison, you can lock on to the target.

According to the footprints of Dali Temple, it can be judged that it was left by Su Dawei, and it is obvious that he has made some effort.

"It rained the day before yesterday, so the soil was wet and soft, and I left footprints when I walked in."

Su Dawei said, raised his foot next to the original footprints, and stepped on it again.

The footprints left behind are exactly the same.

"Sure enough, I left it."

"There are only footprints of Su Shaoqing and the princess at the scene."

Cheng Daozhi cautiously said to Su Dawei: "Shaoqing, look? ”

"I'll go in and take a look, Cheng Zhubo and Qi Zuo will accompany me in, and the others will guard the door, so as not to ruin the scene with too many people."

"Yes."

Carefully avoiding the original footprints on the ground, and crossing the threshold, the vision was dark at first, then bright again.

The inner house is a small courtyard, plus a house.

Su Dawei was under the stone steps in front of this house yesterday, talking to Princess Gaoyang.

The small courtyard is quiet and beautiful.

The sun is shining, and spring is in full swing.

Su Dawei was in a trance for a while.

I remembered that I raised it for a while yesterday, made a back-to-back copy, and chanted Li Bai's "Forbidden Spring Day" in front of Gao Yang.

Overnight, the world was turned upside down.

Princess Gaoyang, who sat in front of the stairs yesterday and flipped through "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", is no longer there.

Su Dawei walked along the stone-paved path, accompanied by Cheng Daozhi and Qi Zuo, and walked back to the front of the steps he had come to yesterday.

I looked up.

The door on the stone steps was ajar, and a human figure could be seen lying on the ground, covered with a cloth, and it was difficult to see the face.

It must be Princess Gaoyang.

Su Dawei glanced back.

Cheng Daozhi explained: "I came to the Zongren Mansion before, and I talked about the burial, because the princess's case has not been solved, and the body is not easy to put elsewhere, so I will stay here for the time being to facilitate the investigation of the case."

However, the Zongren Mansion said that it could only be given for three days at most.

In three days' time, their men were going to come and clean up. ”

Su Dawei nodded, his eyes looking left and right in front of the stone steps.

Sure enough, as the pretending said, except for Princess Gaoyang and his footprints, no third party was found here.

"It's kind of weird."

Su Dawei frowned and said, "I originally thought that the murderer would have stepped on my footprints to come in, but it doesn't look like this trace." ”

"That's true, if you use the footprints left by Su Shaoqing, the traces of the footprints will be deeper.

Looking at these footprints now, they are all shallow. ”

Su Dawei turned left and right, and saw no trace that could catch his attention.

I didn't even see "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

Presumably taken away by the murderer.

This put a big question mark on his mind.

After a moment of silence, he glanced ahead: "Go and see the situation of Princess Gaoyang's body." ”

He coughed lightly: "That...... There is a difference between men and women, Su Shaoqing, we can only take a brief look, many details, must be done by women. ”

"This is natural."

Su Dawei nodded.

The three of them walked around the footprints marked by stone flowers on the steps in front of the courtroom and walked up cautiously.

Just approaching Gao Yang's body, Su Dawei's heart suddenly moved and looked up.

On the beam of the room, there was an extra man in black at some point.

This man has a wide robe with large sleeves, a high crown on his head, and a mask on his face, so that he cannot see his face clearly.

Cheng Daozhi and Qi Zuo, who walked into the room, were attracted by Princess Gaoyang, and they didn't notice anything unusual for a while.

Su Dawei's eyes were sharp and staring at the man.

The other party was condescending and seemed unmoved.

"Taishi Bureau?"

"It's not."

The man in black spat out under his mask: "Now there is only the Secret Pavilion, and there is no Taishi Bureau. ”

Cheng Daozhi hurriedly explained on the side: "This Secret Pavilion Star Monarch was ordered by Li Chunfeng in the Secret Pavilion to help take care of Princess Gaoyang. ”

Su Dawei nodded in understanding.

This kind of murder scene is not suitable for ordinary people to stay.

Princess Gaoyang's body can't be left without care.

The Secret Chamber? It's also appropriate.

Su Dawei's mind couldn't help but recall the picture of seeing Li Chunfeng in the Zichen Hall before.

At that time, Li Chunfeng didn't say a word.

Some of them are too low-key.

After coming out of the Zichen Palace, he didn't have time to talk to Li Chunfeng.

On that day, he originally promised to help Li Chunfeng work together to investigate the witch spells in the palace.

But later, Su Dawei deliberately avoided suspicion and never went to the palace, so he delayed the matter.

I don't know if Li Chunfeng has an opinion about him.

"If you want to investigate the case, please take care of yourself, don't worry about me."

The Secret Pavilion Star Monarch sitting on the beam of the room said.

Listening to the voice, it is difficult to argue between male and female, and looking at the figure, it looks like a woman.

Su Dawei didn't think much about it, and focused on Princess Gaoyang.

"Let's uncover it."

He glanced at Cheng Daozhi and saw him nodding, so he took out a bamboo stick from his bag to make a pole, and gently picked up the cloth covering Princess Gaoyang.

A bluish-white face, which by no means looked like a living person, peeked out from below.

Su Dawei's heart shook slightly.

Sure enough, it was her.

It's just that what I saw yesterday was only sick, and it was fragile.

Now she has long since left her life.

Su Dawei's gaze stayed on Princess Gao Yang's face for a moment, followed the cloth that was picked up, and fell on Gao Yang's neck.

There, there was a bruise, and the angle of the neck was a little unnatural.

This is what he proposed after reading the test, and he was killed by someone who broke his neck bone.

"Are there any other injuries on the princess?"

Su Dawei asked.

He said: "I have found a female maid for examination before, and there are no other scars, fatal injuries, just this one, one blow kills." ”

"Why didn't the maid come?"

"This ...... Dali Temple is a woman who has a heavy task, and I ask Shaoqing to forgive me. ”

Cheng Daozhi said on the side: "If necessary, Shaoqing can go back to Dali Temple and then call him to ask." ”

The implication is that at this scene, there is no need to find a female servant.

Anyway, you're a man, and it's impossible for you to see the princess's body.

Su Dawei frowned slightly.

According to the real procedure for solving the case, even if the deceased is a woman, he will follow the regular forensic method to examine it.

However, the identity of Princess Gaoyang is too sensitive.

Su Dawei was not stunned to the point where he had to check the princess's body in person before he stopped.

He stared down at the bruise on Gao Yang's neck.

"It's a bit like a fingerprint, can you find a clue from this fingerprint?"

"Shaoqing, this can't be done at the moment, the finger marks are not clear, with this, the murderer can't be found."

He said on the sidelines.

After all, it's not like the afterlife, there is a convenience for extracting fingerprints.

It is difficult to get useful clues based on the vague bruises on the neck alone.

The scene, the deathly silence.

Su Dawei was silent for a while.

This case, judging by what is in hand now, is simply a fog.

As for how to solve the case and how to find out the murderer, Su Dawei has no clue now.

"Princess Gaoyang is in Chang'an, do you have any enemies?"

"Shaoqing, we have all checked this, Princess Gaoyang does have an enemy."

"Who?"

Cheng Daozhi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Eldest grandson Wuji." ”

Su Dawei almost didn't vomit blood.

The eldest grandson Wuji?

Back then, Gao Yang was exiled to Bazhou and almost died.

Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji and Princess Gaoyang have a grudge.

But the eldest grandson was in Xianqing for four years, and he had been framed by Xu Jingzong, exiled to Qianzhou, and hanged himself.

Until now, he is still charged with "rebellion" on his head, and he has not been rehabilitated.

This person has been dead for several years, does it matter if he has a grudge against Princess Gaoyang?

"Cheng Zhubo is really joking."

Su Dawei smiled faintly at Cheng Daozhi.

The coldness in his eyes made Cheng Daozhi's back ooze cold sweat.

I knew that I wanted to slap the horse's ass, but I ended up slapping the horse's leg.

Before he could figure out how to come back, lest Su Dawei feel bad for him.

Suddenly, Su Dawei squatted down and carefully studied Princess Gaoyang's face.

Cheng Dao subconsciously held his breath.

But I thought in my heart: no matter how beautiful I was before I was born, now I am blackened, spots appear, my skin is dead white, and my joints are stiff.

What is there to look at in such a dead man's face?

was puzzled, only to hear Su Dawei raise his voice, and said without looking back: "Zuo, have you checked the princess's nose?" ”

"Nose...... Nose? ”

The pretended to be confused.

I thought that in the inspection procedure, there were external traces, but it didn't seem to be specifically raised.

This newcomer to Dali Temple Su Shaoqing, what do you mean by this?

"Are there tweezers?"

Su Dawei stretched out his hand to the servant.

Seeing that he didn't understand, he added: "It's a clip, you can't take the evidence directly with your hands when you investigate." ”

"That can't be."

He finally reacted, took out a bamboo clip from the medicine bag he carried, and handed it to Su Dawei.

Su Dawei took it, looked down, and was a little rougher, but it was better than nothing.

It's better than reaching out and stabbing Princess Gaoyang's nostrils.

He secretly settled down, stretched the bamboo clip into Gao Yang's nose, and turned left and right.

When it was pulled out, a little green was faintly seen on the bamboo clip.

"What is this?"

Cheng Daozhi was dumbfounded when he watched from the sidelines.

He was also frightened.

For Princess Gaoyang, although they checked it according to the process, they didn't dare to be like Su Dawei, who was so rude to test the princess's nose with a bamboo clip.

This......

What did this Su Shaoqing find?
