Despite this, Wang Mu still has one more thing to deal with.

"You mean, that Wang Xiong is dead?"

Raising his eyes to look at An Ran, Wang Mu suddenly frowned.

As the culprit of killing his father, Wang Xiong naturally did not escape the search and arrest of the police, after all, the victim was the father of the fourth rank official of the dynasty, and anyone knew the seriousness of the matter, so he naturally immediately sent people to arrest this person.

Faced with the whole process of searching, Wang Xiong naturally had nowhere to escape, and was arrested by An Ran and them.

An Ran was ashamed and said, "That's right. Just after we arrested him and put him in prison, he committed suicide. ”

"Suicide?hehe! Do you think that Wang Xiong is a person who will commit suicide in fear of crime?" Wang Mu asked, before coming to the court again, she had already investigated clearly, with Wang Xiong's lustful and greedy temperament, how could she give up the world of flowers and choose to commit suicide?

An Ran shook his head and replied, "It's really not." And for the crimes he committed, he will not be sentenced to death. Noticing Wang Mu's frowning slightly, he hurriedly replied: "Of course, he is afraid that he will stay in the cell for the rest of his life." ”

That Wang Xiong was Wang Mu's father-killing enemy, but he was a little afraid of provoking Wang Mu's rejection.

Wang Mu sighed, "Then can you take me to see that person's body?"

"Aren't you afraid of corpses?" An Ran looked at Wang Mu with some surprise.

Wang Mu replied: "When I followed the lord's side, I didn't see it less. ”

"Okay. Then come with me to take a look. An Ran replied, and then walked towards the morgue with Wang Mu.

The morgue was located deep in the cell, surrounded by thick granite, and only the sunlight from the ceiling brought a little light, and the rooms on either side were lined with rows of corpses, waiting to be disposed of.

Being here, Wang Mu also felt a little scared, and began to regret why he came here in the first place.

However, as soon as she thought of her father's hatred, she immediately cheered up and soon came to the place where Wang Xiong's body was parked.

Wang Mu's eyes froze, and then he turned his head: "How did this guy die?"

"Sure enough. After all, it's just a girl, and I still can't accept it. An Ran saw it in his eyes, couldn't help laughing, and then said, "I jumped into the water and drowned." ”

"Drowning?"

Wang Muton was puzzled, and looked at An Ran with some puzzlement, compared to these corpses, she felt that An Ran looked better, at least not like those corpses, without any life.

An Ran nodded, he first put a deerskin glove on his hand, then pinched Wang Xiong's mouth open, pointed to his mouth and said, "Did you see these diatoms in his mouth? These were sucked into his mouth when he drowned." Moreover, his face is swollen and his lips are blue-purple. This is a typical feature of drowning. ”

"I see. ”

Wang Mu still maintained a level-headed appearance and did not lower his head.

It's just that Wang Xiong's face was soaked pale after a long time of blisters, and after being placed in the morgue for so long, many corpse spots began to grow on his body, which naturally made it difficult for her to accept.

An Ran took a scalpel and began to dissect Wang Xiong's body unhurriedly, and said: "And these fluids in his lungs do prove that he did die of drowning." ”

"So, he really committed suicide in fear of sin?"

Wang Mu was a little disappointed, the enemy who killed her father died like this, which made her feel lost.

An Ran shook his head and continued: "According to what the Witnesses said at the beginning, this is indeed the case. But the small river where Wang Xiong drowned was only knee-deep, and it was too difficult to drown such a big man. ”

The prisons for prisoners have always been harsh, and in order to prevent these prisoners from committing suicide, many ways to commit suicide have been eliminated, even the small river that flows through the cells, which is only waist-deep, and it is too difficult to drown.

Wang Muton was curious, and hurriedly asked: "In this way, could it be that someone deliberately forged it, in order to kill people and kill people?"

"Perhaps. ”

The scalpel in An Ran's hand continued to swim, and when he came to the calf, he was surprised again.

Wang Mu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sure enough, this guy was indeed plotted. An Ran sighed, then pressed Wang Xiong's legs, and said, "Did you see it? This guy's muscles are completely stiff and have not softened. But if it were an ordinary corpse, after all this time, the muscles should have been relaxed a long time ago, and it was impossible to maintain it like this. ”

Wang Mu stretched out his hand according to An Ran's words and pinched Wang Xiong's thigh, and the place where he started was as hard as a stone.

"Definitely. In this way, after he fell into the river, he did not struggle because his limbs could not move, and he was choked to death?" asked Wang Mu.

After getting this series of evidence, she also began to connect all the clues, the reason why Wang Xiong killed his father should have been instructed by someone, but that person didn't want to expose himself, so after Wang Xiong was arrested, he secretly got rid of this person, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why that person went to great lengths to fake the scene of Wang Xiong's suicide?

An Ran replied: "According to the current investigation, this is indeed the case. ”

"It's just that the person didn't expect that there was still such an existence as you, and he found out the clues he left behind," Wang Mu said with a smile.

If it weren't for An Ran's help, she was afraid that she would really think that Wang Xiong would commit suicide in fear of sin, and then she would be kept in the dark and know nothing.

An Ran smiled: "That's nature. For me, no matter who he is, as long as he does something, he will inevitably leave a trace. What I do is to find out the corresponding truth according to these traces. "He has vowed to uphold the majesty of the law and to speak for the common people and to bring justice to the common people since he stepped into the courthouse, all of which he has not forgotten and knows to be remembered now.

Wang Mu replied: "Then do you know who is responsible for this kind of behavior?"

"In my opinion, this person may be an invisible snake among the twelve evil stars. This person is best at assassinating opponents with poison. An Ran sighed, then turned Wang Xiong over, pointed to a bloody lump on his brain, and then complained: "And this wound should have been hit by him, and the poison of his unique configuration also entered Wang Xiong's body from here, making him go crazy, and finally fell into the river and drowned." ”

Wang Mu stared at it and was suddenly shocked: "What a small wound?

"It's supposed to be hydrating the ice and then shooting the ice picks. Its poison is also hidden inside the icicle. When the ice pick melts due to the temperature, the poison will enter the brain, destroy its consciousness, paralyze its muscles, and eventually lead to its death. An Ran explained slowly.

Ever since the Twelve Murder Stars had robbed the Dharma Field, he had begun to study the information of the Twelve Murder Stars, and he naturally knew their members well.

Wang Mu was also surprised: "It turned out to be the Twelve Evil Stars? It's just that my father has always been kind to people, so it is absolutely impossible to provoke them." ”

She also knew that among the twelve fierce stars, those with high martial arts such as the Split Cloud Tiger and the Nine Abyss Poisonous Dragon were naturally extremely powerful, but the rest were much more sparse, at least Wang Mu was confident that if the Split Cloud Tiger and the Nine Abyss Poisonous Dragon did not make a move, she could take down the rest of the people as well.

"Maybe it's not for your father, but for you!" An Ran sighed, and then stared at Wang Mu.

Wang Mu suddenly felt nervous, and whispered: "For me, in this case, then they should also come to me, instead of choosing my father." ”

"No, for your position, to be exact. ”

An Ran explained carefully: "Not to mention that your own martial arts are extraordinary, even if you can't fight against them, if you want to escape, it is not a problem. What's more, with the army taking care of them, how dare they act rashly and instead summon trouble? In my opinion, the reason why they are acting like this is to be able to get you down so that they can give up the position of prefect of Songjiang Prefecture. After all, once your father dies, you will definitely be forced to resign in order to keep your filial piety. So they could take this opportunity to take the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture into their hands. ”

"What?"

Wang Mu was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "You mean that the one who planned to kill my father was a member of the court?"

Thinking carefully about her previous actions, she was also confused, and she didn't know when she had offended someone.

"Alas. No matter how you think about this, you can't know who that person is. And even if you do find evidence, how can you accuse the other party? An Ran smiled bitterly.

Wang Mu was also annoyed and defended: "It's just that I have always followed the rules, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't have offended anyone." ”

"Offending people is not a matter of words. Sometimes, the resources you have, or even some of the things you have, can be a reason for hostility from others. In the imperial court, this is normal. An Ran replied with a relative.

Wang Mu was also silent, thinking in his heart: "Alas. It seems that it is not an easy task to catch the real murderer? If so, then how should I deal with it? After all, this matter cannot be left to the lord, only I can handle it myself. ”

Everything is just reasoning, and in the absence of a clear goal and real evidence, Xiao Feng is categorically impossible to accept Wang Mu's suggestion to investigate his subordinates, because this is contrary to Xiao Feng's belief in the principle of "never guilty", although she did suffer because of similar things before, but it will not change after all.

An Ran asked, "Then what are you going to do next?"

"What else can I do? Just continue to keep filial piety and wait until the man starts to act. I don't believe it, since that man planned these things, he really didn't have any goals. I'm sure one day, that guy will show his feet. Although Wang Mu was annoyed, he could only accept it now, and he was also full of emotion in his heart.

Even if Xiao Feng punished corrupt officials and clarified the rule of officials, there was no shortage of things that the imperial courts of previous dynasties should have.

It will only change its form, but its fundamental core is still the same thing, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Because this is the human heart, this is history, and it is not something that human beings can stop at all.

No way, the essence of human beings is a repeater.
