Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

This is the first time Bai Chen has come to the sky prison of Dali Temple.

In his imagination, the ancient prisons were gloomy and dank, each cell was covered with weeds, the walls were mottled, and extremely dirty. If someone passed by, the prisoners would grab the wooden stakes of the cell and shout, "Your wrong, my lord!" "Let me out!" or something like that.

——After all, it was performed like this in previous costume dramas.

This is not the case at all. Although the sky prison in Dali Temple is not comparable to modern detention centers and prisons, it is not eerie or humid.

All the prisoners in the prison were very calm, almost sitting silently. Even if someone passed by, they would just look at them numbly, and would not be so excited as to step forward to complain.

Bai Chen thought about it again, the prisoners locked up in Dali Temple are repeat offenders who have been interrogated and reviewed in the capital and localities. Most of them are ruthless characters, and some of them are even well-informed, wealthy and powerful people. They know the behavior of calling for grievances. It is useless, it is better to save some effort.

Bai Chen followed Luo Lanye to a special prison specially set up for women.

As soon as they entered the door, they could see the corpses of Ling Shuang and Huan'er lying on the ground. Both of them were lying on their backs, with a dagger stuck in the heart.

Since the dagger was not drawn out, there was not much blood around it.

"No one has touched the corpse, has it?" Luo Lanye glanced at the guards standing beside him.

"Returning to Master Luo, after Mrs. Wei reported that the prisoner was killed, I immediately sent people to guard the place, arrested the two women, and then went to report to Lord Qin." , with a rather fearful expression, "The corpse has been kept as it is, and it didn't dare to move."

"Did anyone hear the noise last night?" Luo Lanye asked, "The jailer is just outside the door three feet away. Didn't you hear such a big noise like the murder?"

"They said they only heard the voices of two women drinking and cursing." The jailer said, "The two women quarreled and scolded the prisoner when they drank too much. They are already used to it, so they ignored it."

Luo Lanye frowned, and asked again: "Where's Wu Zuo? Why hasn't he arrived yet, even though I'm here?"

The leader of the jailer bowed and said weakly: "One of the three clerks in the yamen is on vacation, one went to the suburbs of Beijing with Mr. Lu, and the other is on leave today."

Dali Temple has three full-time clerks, which are enough to handle daily cases. If a sergeant was killed before and required multiple clerks, Dali Temple will second the Ministry of Punishment and the local yamen.

"Leave? What kind of leave? Why didn't I know?" Qin Yucheng said angrily, "According to the rules, you have to ask for my permission to ask for leave. Why didn't I see the leave form?"

The head of the jailer shrank his neck in fright: "Master Qin, please calm down. The wife of Niu Yuzuo came to the Yamen at Maoshi and said that his husband might have eaten his stomach and was vomiting and diarrhea. He went to the latrine ten times in the morning. He even struggled to stand up. Let her ask for leave on her behalf, and seeing her anxious, I agreed."

Qin Yucheng snorted coldly, "I haven't left yet, you're treating yourself as a prisoner."

"The villain doesn't dare!" The head jailer was so frightened that he almost knelt down and apologized repeatedly.

Luo Lanye said coldly, "I see that your three-acre land is not a small problem, but now is not the time to talk about it, let's change the time to train your subordinates."

"Yes." Qin Yucheng quickly agreed.

"At first, I just wanted Bo Lu to come over and have a general look at the corpse, in case there are any omissions during the inspection." Luo Lanye looked at Bai Chen, "But I need to understand the preliminary situation as I am asking for leave. Now I can only wrong Bai Lu in advance. Let’s do some testing.”

"Yes, my lord." Bai Chen bowed, "I will definitely do my best."

At this moment, it's useless to refuse, it's better to say it openly.Fortunately, the Secret Service has to learn everything. During the induction training, he even took the subject of anatomy. He learned this course well. Really want to catch blind.

Qin Yucheng called Niu Wuzuo's apprentice to be Bai Chen's assistant, and arranged for the jailer to record.

Luo Lanye said: "Let's begin."

"Yes."

Bai Chen changed into his robe, washed his hands, and began to examine the corpse.

The death conditions of Ling Shuang and Huan'er were not hideous, even with their eyes closed, at first glance they thought they were sleeping.

Getting closer, Bai Chen seemed to smell a faint smell of alcohol on them.

After some investigation, Bai Chen got the preliminary autopsy results.

The two drank alcohol before they died, and died after being pierced through the heart by a sharp dagger in a comatose state, so there was no sign of struggle.Since the dagger was not pulled out, they did not die for a while, and they died slowly after a long night.

"Why?" the jailer leader was puzzled, "Why didn't you just pull out the dagger? After bleeding, the person died immediately. Why do you still drink them and kill someone without pulling out the dagger? "

His mind was relatively straight, and he felt that this way of killing people was too troublesome.

"Idiot." Qin Yucheng scolded, "When you pull out the dagger, blood will splash out, and the murderer's body will also be stained. Obviously, he doesn't want to get blood on himself."

"I don't want to get blood on my body..." The head jailer suddenly realized, and then his face changed drastically, "You mean the murderer is one of our own?"

"Don't interrupt," Qin Yucheng glared at him, "Listen to Lord Luo's orders."

The head jailer didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he quickly shut up and stepped back.

Luo Lanye asked: "Bai Lushi, tell me your opinion."

Bai Chen took off the autopsy robe and handed it to Wuzuo's apprentice, "My lord, if the murderer is not playing tricks, then there should be only one person who commits the crime, and it tends to be a woman or a man who does not know martial arts. There was medicine in the wine, forcing Ling Shuang and Huan'er to drink it, and then killed them."

"It makes sense." Luo Lanye mused, "Otherwise, there would be no need to spend so much time doing so many things, Qin Yucheng, do you know it well?"

"The guards who guard the prisoners and the handymen who deliver meals are both good at fisting..." Qin Yucheng said, "Then they can only be two women. They are only strong in body, but they don't know martial arts."

"Even if one of them killed someone, he must have been instructed by someone, and there must be something hidden in it." Luo Lanye said, "They haven't been brought up for interrogation yet."

"Yes!"

……

Two women who were suspected of major crimes knelt in front of the hall, their sturdy bodies trembling, and their expressions were more aggrieved and pitiful than the cabbages in the field.

"Finally." Luo Lanye said calmly, "Who killed someone, or did you kill him together?"

"You're wronged!" As soon as these words came out, the old lady Wei, who was wearing a blue cloth shirt, shouted out her wrongdoing, crying, "How dare a commoner woman kill someone under the eyes of Lord Qingtian? Even if I borrowed a hundred courage from me, I wouldn't dare!" !"

Another woman surnamed Wu also cried, saying that she could swear to God that she had never killed anyone, and if she did, a thunderbolt would strike her dead immediately.

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of rumbling thunder came to mind outside.

Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, then cried loudly, "Oh heaven, earth! Why do you want to wrong a good man!"

Bai Chen: ...

These two women are very good at adding drama to themselves, and they both look very suspicious, but he still insists on his own judgment-there is only one murderer.

Luo Lanye couldn't bear the noise of the two wives and ordered them to shut up.

"Who bought the wine?" Luo Lanye asked.

"It was bought by the women." Wei Pozi said aggrievedly, "The women like to have a drink, and it happens that Wu Po can also drink, so I often ask her to drink with me. I used to drink it all right, but I got drunk last night. It’s a mess. It must be Mrs. Wu! She drugged my wine and killed those two female criminals while I was asleep!”

"You spitting blood!" Mrs. Wu rushed over and gave her a slap in the face, "Usually you go to prison to work early, and you bully me all the time, but now you kill someone and put shit on me? I'll bear you for a long time Do you want to show your face?! Dead whore!"

Immediately afterwards, the two quarreled, their words were vulgar, and if they were not suppressed by the yamen servants, they might start tearing their clothes and hair.

For the first time, Bai Chen discovered that the fighting power of middle-aged women is so amazing, it is jaw-dropping.

Their vulgar behavior also completely angered Luo Lanye, the two women were beaten ten times, and they cried for a while, and finally stopped.

The current situation is that the two women both said that they did not kill anyone, and accused the other party of killing the person. The yamen servants outside the door only heard them drinking and cursing.

There was no obvious trace of the suspect left on the body, and nothing was found on the two women.

In this era, there is no technology to extract biological samples and detect DNA. Without definite evidence, this case is indeed a bit difficult to handle.

……

When the case in Dali Temple was at a stalemate, Xiao Lin in the palace was not in a very happy mood.

Early the next morning after Xiao Chuan fell off the cliff, he sent people to collect the corpse under the cliff.

Even though he fell from such a high place, Xiao Chuan's feet were crippled by him, so he should not be able to survive.But he was still worried, even if he died, he would still find his body.

But now Lin Feiyun told him that Xiao Chuan's body had not been found yet.

"Have you searched all over?" Xiao Lin asked.

Lin Feiyun said: "The terrain of the valley is complicated and the place is huge, so we only found a part of it for the time being."

"Keep looking." Xiao Lin frowned, "Send more people to search that area for me."

"Yes."

Lin Feiyun cupped his fists to accept the order, and was about to go out when Xiao Lin stopped him again.

Xiao Lin said: "When I fell before, I happened to land on a big tree on the cliff and saved my life. Don't forget that tree."

"The tree has already been inspected." Lin Feiyun said, "The subordinates will expand the area and search strictly. Before it is dark, the subordinates will look for it again."

"Well, let's go."

Xiao Lin got up, walked to Xiaohua's cage, and fed it some food.

"Chirp~" Xiaohua knew that the master was not in a good mood, so she yelled softly twice, and desperately put her head in front of Xiao Lin's fingers, begging to be stroked.

Xiao Lin touched its head, showing a smile, "Good boy."
