Chapter 39: Witch Gu
"Is that true?"
Not only Su was surprised, but everyone at the scene, whether it was Li Xianzong, Gao Dahu, Nan Jiulang, the eunuch Wang Fusheng, or the messengers of Dali Temple and Wannian County, who were waiting farther away, were all shocked when they heard this.
This completely overturned the results of the previous inspection of Dali Temple and Wannian County.
It was obviously a traumatic neck fracture that caused death.
Why is it said to be drowned now?
The difference between drowning and death from trauma is huge.
Wang Fusheng, the eunuch from the palace, shuddered for a moment, didn't know whether it was cold or frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Can you issue a document to testify?" This is to be presented to His Majesty for purpose. ”
"Yes."
Ci Gu said lightly: "If you don't believe it, you can find someone else to test it, no matter how many people there are, it will be the same result, only the drowned person, the lungs will be like that." ”
Su Dawei said: "This room is the first scene, and the princess has never gone out." ”
The aunt looked at him.
A pair of eyes on the black gauze were as smart as water, and they didn't say a word quietly.
It's like waiting for Su Dawei to continue.
"Since she had an accident here, how can people drown in this house?"
"That's your problem, not mine, you invited me to come, it's an autopsy, I've done it."
The aunt sounded and walked out into the night rain in front of everyone.
The little maid who was waiting on the side ran up and held up an oil-paper umbrella for her.
The rain surrounds them, and there is a strange rhythmic beauty.
"The paperwork will be sent later, if there is anything, you can ask Gui Lao to inform me."
The aunt said that she would go, without dragging her feet.
Just like when she appeared, it was full of mystery.
"She's gone."
Nan Jiulang gritted his teeth on the side and said: "But this case, it's even more confused, princess, how can it be drowning?" ”
"At least it shows that the kind of green plants I found before didn't come out of thin air."
Su Dawei turned his head to look at the back of the star monarch who walked back into the house, half-hiding the door.
For a while, my heart was in turmoil.
"How can a good person drown in the house? Where does the water come from, and where do the plants in her nose come from? ”
"Su Shuai ......"
"Let me think again."
"Su Shaoqing, this is the matter, we have to go back first to recover our lives."
The people of Dali Temple saluted with their hands crossed on the side.
Wang Fusheng also hurriedly bowed to Su Dawei and said, "I also have to go back to the palace and explain the situation to Your Majesty and the Empress." ”
"Go your own way, just leave enough people here to guard it."
Su Dawei wiped a handful of water droplets from his face, looked at the rain curtain, and muttered, "I have other things to do." ”
……
Judging from the current clues, the death of Princess Gaoyang is strange.
If you extrapolate from normal, it is impossible for a person to drown in his own home.
But this is not the Tang Dynasty in normal history.
There are weird things here, all kinds of mysterious and mysterious things.
Drowning, not impossible.
But it is not so easy to find a reasonable explanation, to find a real answer.
"It's late tonight, and it's not convenient to find Uncle Ghost to come out, Jiulang, you go back, tell Uncle Ghost tomorrow morning, I want to see the section of the Jing River he said, so that he can be free to help me show the way."
Su Dawei finished explaining to Nan Jiulang, and was about to leave with Gao Dahu, but saw Li Xianzong coming out of the alley on the side and arched his hand to him.
"Su Shuai, can you say a few words?"
"Something?"
Su Dawei was able to speak, and suddenly reacted: "Li Xianzong is looking for himself, most likely it is Li Chunfeng's instructions. ”
He looked left and right, and pointed to a big tree next to him: "We take shelter from the rain under the tree, and then say a few words." ”
"Okay."
Li Xianzong nodded, and walked over first with an umbrella.
Su Dawei and Gao Dahu were tall and big, but they only had an umbrella, so they had no choice but to huddle together and walk under the tree.
The tall tiger put away his umbrella and shook off the rain, and consciously walked away a few steps.
Leave space for Su Dawei and Li Xianzong.
The rain was not light, and the rain was very rapid.
Fortunately, the tree on which the three of them stood was very dense and covered with a canopy, keeping all the rain out.
"Summer will be in a little more than a month, and there will be no such gloomy cold air at that time."
Su Dawei stretched out his hand and took a few drops of rain stars in the palm of his hand, and turned his head to look at Li Xianzong: "Immortal Sect is looking for me, what is the matter?" ”
Li Xianzong was silently watching him, his eyes falling on the rain in his hand, as if he was thoughtful.
Hearing this, he reacted and said to Su Dawei: "Does Su Shuai still remember what he said to my family?" ”
"What about the palace?"
Su Dawei was a little sorry and said: "I haven't been to the palace recently, I am indeed a little too lazy, tell your Ah Weng for me, when this case is over, I will help him go to the palace to have a look." ”
"I'm Aweng, let me tell you."
"What?"
"The witch Gu in the palace, Your Majesty seems to have known about it, and recently ordered the Secret Pavilion to step up the search, but it has not caught the main master for a while."
Li Xianzong lowered his voice and said softly: "Ah Weng also said that the case of Princess Gaoyang this time may be related to the incident in the palace. ”
Su Dawei's heart moved: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"I don't know, it was Ah Weng who asked me to tell Su Shuai, if you have any questions, Su Shuai will ask Ah Weng himself."
"Then you say hello to your Ah Weng for me, help me talk to him, and I will visit him in the next day or two."
Li Xianzong smiled slightly, and saluted Su Dawei with his hands crossed: "The words have been brought, and Xianzong will leave." ”
After speaking, he raised the umbrella in his hand, nodded to Su Dawei, held the umbrella and walked into the rain, which immediately melted into the rain and disappeared. 、
Gao Dahu saw that Li Xianzong was gone, so he dragged his umbrella and walked up slowly: "Tai Shiling's grandson, he doesn't feel like an ordinary person. ”
"Now it's the Secret Pavilion."
Su Dawei corrected him and said: "With a family background, his ability should be good." ”
"What do we do now?"
"Let's go back."
"Huh?"
"Big Tiger, you send me home, stay with me tonight, and we'll talk about the case when we get home."
"Okay."
The tall tiger happily agreed.
Although he is now married to a daughter-in-law, his wife is virtuous, and he is busy investigating cases outside on weekdays, and he will not say anything strange, and he manages the family very well.
What's more, now I am going to Su Dawei's house to stay overnight for the sake of the case.
……
"Brother, and the second brother Gao, look at your rain, your clothes are wet."
Nie Su came in with a pot of hot soup, and when he saw Su Dawei's shoulders soaked in raindrops, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Brother is too careless about his body, what if he catches the cold." ”
"Sour~"
Gao Dahu patted his thigh on the side, and deliberately exaggeratedly shouted: "I'm sour, just Amina's body bones, press him in the snow in winter, the snow can melt, and you are still worried that he will get sick with a little drizzle?" ”
"Phew, people are ignoring you."
Nie Su snorted at Gao Dahu, turned his head and said to Su Dawei: "I'll go get a change of clothes for my brother and second brother, and change my wet clothes." ”
"Xiao Su, don't bother, make a fire, and the clothes will dry themselves in a while."
"Don't bother, I'll go get the clothes, and you can talk while eating."
Nie Su Yanran smiled and stood up: "If I don't go, A-Niang will say that I'm lazy in a while, and these jobs should be done by women." ”
After speaking, she stood up and filled a bowl of soup for Su Dawei and Gao Dahu before turning around and leaving.
Gao Dahu looked at Nie Su's back, and said in a slurp: "It's really the eighteenth change of a female university, and now she is becoming more and more like a big woman." ”
"Don't be poor, get down to business."
"Okay."
Gao Dahu smiled, picked up the soup bowl and blew it, brought it to his lips and snorted, and took a sip.
The hot soup was fragrant and thick, and it fell down the throat and into the stomach.
I only felt a warmth in my chest and abdomen, and my spirit was lifted.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the door open again.
A middle-aged man walked in from outside in the rain.
"You two didn't tell me when you came, you still only found out after listening to Xiao Su's lady."
The two looked back and saw that it was Li Bo.
Su Dawei beckoned: "It's just in time, this case is about to be discussed with you." ”
"How's the case going?"
Li Bo was busy with the official affairs of the Ducha Temple during the day, but he did not follow Su Dawei around.
But he also has the case on his mind.
Hearing that Su Dawei had returned, he hurried over.
He sat down in the banquet and listened to the tall tiger talk about what happened during the day and before.
Li Bo's brows gradually wrinkled together.
"This is the first time I've heard of this kind of case, where a living person can drown in his own home."
"That's why I think it's weird."
"Speaking of this, Li Xianzong mentioned to me that Gao Yang's death may be related to Wu Gu."
"Witch?"
Li Bo gasped: "If you get involved with this, it will be really a big case." ”
After speaking, his eyes looked at Su Dawei with a somewhat complicated gaze: "Ami, I really don't know if you are lucky or unlucky." ”
"It's hard to pass the pass, it's passable, it's good or not, you have to pass this pass."
Su Dawei smiled faintly.
"By the way, I also went to the military department during the day and met Xiao Siye."
"Huh?"
"Li Bo, you are familiar with the scriptures and history, think about it, since I returned to Chang'an, I encountered that strange assassination case, and now I am entangled in the bizarre case of Princess Gaoyang, is this really a coincidence?"
"You mean ......"
"There are so many coincidences in this world, only elaborate design."
Su Dawei held the soup bowl in his hand and blew on the hot air gently.
But there was no warmth in his eyes.
Some are just sharp.
The room was quiet for a while.
Only the sound of wind and rain outside the window, constantly banging on the window door.
The light of the whale oil lamp was invaded by the wind and rain, and it kept flickering.
Long.
Su Dawei said in a low voice: "We are all grasshoppers on a fly, today's words can only be known by you and me, and must not be passed on to the ears of others." ”
"Ami, rest assured, we all understand the truth of cold lips and teeth."
"If something happens on your side, how can we survive alone."
Su Dawei nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll tell you what I think, and you two will help me take a closer look." ”
It would have been better if An Wensheng was here, but unfortunately, he would not be able to return until the middle of the year at the earliest.
Su Dawei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Although there is no direct evidence in the case of being assassinated last time, I believe that it is Your Majesty who stands behind Li Yifu. ”
When these words came out, Gao Dahu and Li Bo glanced at each other, and they couldn't hide the horror in each other's hearts.
Su Dawei mentioned this at this time, not just to discuss the facts of the case.
It will inevitably also involve the growth and decline of the power of the imperial court.
There is a deeper problem of power play.
