Chapter 27: Family Extermination Case
Ma Xin agreed. Bai Yu and Hei Mu had already come out. Let her go in. They went towards the crime scene. Everything behind them was soon covered in darkness. By tomorrow morning, this place would be bustling again. No one would know what had happened under the cover of night.
When they arrived at the crime scene, the rain had completely stopped. Chu Yunxi got out of the carriage and saw that it was a wealthy family with a red gate and high tiles. There were two big words "Gao Mansion" on the door.
There were two stone lions sitting motionless at the door. At this moment, the door was open, and people from the Dali Temple were guarding the door. The lights inside were bright.
Someone came up and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Yunxi, the Shaoqing is waiting for you two inside. The Shaoqing has ordered everyone not to move the scene, so the inside remains as it is."
Xiao Mubei nodded and got off the carriage. The visitor opened his eyes wide in surprise. Is the prince's leg healed? Wasn't he still sitting in a wheelchair during the day?
But he didn't dare to ask. How could someone of his status explore the above matters?
Chu Yunxi also got off the carriage and smiled at the visitor, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, big brother."
The visitor was flattered and lowered his head quickly, saying, "It's not hard. It's what I should do."
Chu Yunxi followed Xiao Mubei in, and Baiyu and Heimu followed behind.
Li Jinghong was still very aware of protecting the scene. The constables who arrived early just turned on the lights and did not go inside, so everyone gathered at the door at this moment.
Chu Yunxi smelled a strong smell of blood before she even entered the door. Looking around, she saw seven or eight corpses lying in the yard, extending all the way to the backyard.
Li Jinghong came forward and said to Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, this is the home of the father-in-law of the newly promoted Minister of Rites, Chen Shining. All 21 servants and servants were killed. No one survived."
Chu Yunxi took out a mask and put on gloves, walked down the stairs and began to examine the body. Bai Yu followed consciously. He was assigned by Xiao Mubei to be Chu Yunxi's assistant. Chu Yunxi was in charge of the autopsy and he was in charge of recording. In Chu Yunxi's words, he would be trained first.
Xiao Mubei asked, "Have you notified Lord Chen?"
"Someone has been sent to notify them, and they should be on their way."
"Okay, send someone to guard outside. When they arrive, don't let them in to avoid affecting the investigation." After Xiao Mubei gave the instructions, he walked down the stairs and came to Chu Yunxi's side.
Chu Yunxi looked through each corpse carefully. After looking at a few in succession, she stood up and said to Xiao Mubei, "All of them died from having their throats cut by a knife. The opponent's knife was very fast. These people had no power to fight back. They must be people with high martial arts skills."
Xiao Mubei looked at the corpses and bloodstains all over the ground with a very cold expression, "This person was so cruel, it seems that he didn't intend to leave anyone alive."
"That's right, but there should be more than one murderer," Chu Yunxi squatted down and looked at the dead man in front of her, "Your Highness, look, this person's wound was cut from left to right. The knife technique was sharp and the wound was very deep."
She walked to another person and said, "This person's wound is from right to left, which means the murderer is left-handed. Moreover, the wound of this deceased is relatively shallow. Your Majesty, I don't understand internal force. I want to ask, can the depth of internal force be seen from this wound?"
Xiao Mubei also squatted down, took a closer look, and nodded, "It can be seen that each person's internal strength is different, and the strength infused into the sword skills is also different. You are right. Although these two murderers can kill these weak servants with one sword, there is obviously a difference in their internal strength."
Chu Yunxi nodded and said, "I checked the wounds of these people. I can confirm that there are two murderers who found these bodies in the front yard, and one of them is left-handed."
Bai Yu quickly wrote it down.
"But the knife used by these two people is the same. I see this knife..." Chu Yunxi stopped and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mubei saw that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, and turned his gaze back to the corpse.
Chu Yunxi looked carefully for a while and said, "Your Majesty, those who attacked us tonight used knives, right?"
"That's right." Xiao Mubei said in a deep voice: "Why, do you suspect those people did it?"
"I'm not sure about that, but I see that the wound is very thin, which proves that the murderer used a very thin blade. When I was hiding from those killers tonight, I also saw their knives, which were also very thin. But whether it is the same knife or not, I have to go back and compare them to know for sure."
"it is good."
Chu Yunxi stood up and continued to walk towards the backyard. At this time, a thunderous cry came from the door. It was Chen Shining, the member of the Ministry of Rites, and his wife.
Chu Yunxi turned around and vaguely saw a carriage parked outside the door. Someone was stopped outside by Li Jinghong and there seemed to be some dispute between them.
Xiao Mubei said: "You continue with the autopsy, I'll go out and take a look."
Chu Yunxi nodded and took Bai Yu to the backyard, and Xiao Mubei walked out.
Chen Shining is about 40 years old. He has climbed up to his current position step by step, and his face is already full of vicissitudes. At this moment, he is holding his wife Gao and talking to Li Jinghong, "My wife wants to see her father for the last time, which is reasonable. Why did Li Shaoqing stop her? Is there something inside the Dali Temple that cannot be told to the victim's family?"
Li Jinghong said, "Master Chen, this is the murder scene. His Royal Highness Prince Dingbei is leading people to investigate inside, hoping to find more clues so that the real murderer can be caught as soon as possible and the Gao family can be redressed. I hope Master Chen and Madam Chen will understand and wait for a moment."
"Those are my family in there, my parents who gave birth to me and raised me. They are in trouble now. Why won't you let me go in to see them?" Gao cried loudly and pushed Li Jinghong hard.
Chen Shining was more rational and pulled his wife aside to persuade her in a low voice.
Xiao Mubei coughed lightly and walked out. Chen Shining hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Dingbei."
Gao was just crying. When she saw Chen Shining let her go, she immediately wanted to rush inside, but was stopped by Li Jinghong.
Xiao Mubei walked down and said, "Master Chen, there is no need to be polite. The Dali Temple is investigating the case now. No one is allowed to enter the crime scene to avoid damaging the scene and covering up the evidence. I understand the feelings of Master Chen and Madam Chen. After the scene is investigated, all the bodies will be carried out. I hope Master Chen and Madam Chen will wait for a while."
Hearing Xiao Mubei talking about all the bodies, Gao cried even louder, gasping for breath. Chen Shining also had a look of grief on his face, "Prince, please make sure to catch the murderer and redress the injustice for my father-in-law's family."
Xiao Mubei nodded, "Of course, the Dali Temple will do its best to find the real culprit and tell the Gao family the truth. Lord Chen, please take Madam Ling to rest first. We may need your help later."
Chen Shining agreed, helped Gao into the carriage and waited.
