Second minister and thief

"The eyes are slightly protruding, the ears are swollen, the abdomen is swollen, and the body is covered with bruises. Other than that, there is no external injury. It is obvious that he died of poisoning. Master Chu, what do you think?"

Holding something in his hand, Chu Linqiu bowed his head in thought, and said after a while, "There is no trauma, how did the poison get in?"

"Perhaps Master Li had eaten highly poisonous food or tea before, and the poison occurred in his sleep?"

"This is unlikely to be done."

"Then what is Master Chu's opinion?"

When the Criminal Court decides a case, it doesn't like outsiders pointing fingers in front of it, let alone the person who comes here is the arrogant and domineering Chu Linqiu.Therefore, as soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and one of them even directly asked what happened next.

Chu Linqiu didn't care about their attitude at all, but suddenly seemed to have a feeling and turned his gaze to a certain direction, and asked gently, "Master Hou, why are you here?"

Xiao Cen: "..."

He didn't really want to draw attention to himself, so now he can only show up boldly and say loudly, "Master Chu has made such a big battle, it's a bit embarrassing for me not to come and have a look."

In this way, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and even the crying old mother, wife and children stopped making noise.

Xiao Cen didn't care about the gazes on him, he went straight to Chu Linqiu's back, helped him without any trace, so that he wouldn't work too hard, and asked in a low voice in his ear, " I heard that there are two adults from Yushitai?"

"En." Chu Linqiu glanced at him gratefully, and showed him a shallow smile, which was fleeting.

Xiao Cen was in a daze again, and after a while he became angry and pinched his lower back severely, and said through gritted teeth, "Lord Chu, be more serious."

"Why is Chu not serious?"

"Shut up." After Xiao Cen gave him a look of "you know it in your heart", he stopped looking at him, pretending to stay out of the matter, but the hand on his waist never left.

Everyone: "..."

"Cough!" In the end, the governor of the trial court gave a fake cough to break the unspeakable embarrassment, "Lord Chu, let's go in and look at the corpse first."

"Lord Lu, please."

Chu Linqiu couldn't bear it because he had stood for a long time, he was sweating layer by layer, and his face was very ugly.He didn't want others to see the difference, so he and Xiao Cen walked in the back.

Fortunately, the light in the room was dim, and everyone in the group was restless, so they could get away with it.

Master Li of Yushitai was lying on his back on the bed, his complexion was black and his lips were purple, although he was not totally unrecognizable, but he could not recognize his appearance before birth.Who is so insane?What is his real purpose?

The first few people who went in all took a step back when they saw the tragedy, only Chu Linqiu came out more and more, leaning over to check the condition of the corpse in person.He fiddled with it a few times, and found a tiny pinhole on the top of the dead man's head.

"This... the poison entered from here?"

Chu Linqiu didn't speak, and then checked the dead man's hands, and found some unusual things on them, and even smelled a faint fragrance.But before he moved his head closer to smell it clearly, a hand slanted chajin to stop him.

Xiao Cen shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Be careful."

So Chu Linqiu put down that soft and swollen hand.

"My colleagues," Governor Lu said slowly after pacing the room twice with his hands behind his back, "Since the wound has been found, at least two points can be proved. First, Lord Li was in his sleep. He was stabbed in the head with a poisonous needle and died, and secondly, the murderer was highly skilled in martial arts, and crossing the house was like entering an uninhabited land. Dare I ask Lord Chu, does the Xuanwu guard not work at night?"
