For a skilled coroner.
Dissecting a corpse was a piece of cake.
It was no different from cutting up a piece of pork.
But if the corpse belonged to one's loved one …
It was inevitable that the knife would tremble and the hands would tremble.
Who could be heartless?
As for Jiang Wang's question.
Lin Youxie was silent for a while, then she closed the wooden box and put it back into the storage box.
"I forgot to drink it," she said calmly.
Zheng Shangming didn't know that Lin Youxie had a phobia, so he couldn't understand her emotions.
He just asked, "Deputy Lin, have you finished the examination?"
"Yes, it's done," Lin Youxie said.
"Any clues?" Zheng Shangming asked.
"Do you really want to know?" Lin Youxie asked.
"Of course," Zheng Shangming said, "Why, is it inconvenient to say?"
"There were seven wounds on the body, but only one of them could be considered fatal. The hole in the skull should have been caused by the wind from the finger, the index finger.
The remaining six wounds were obviously caused after death. The wounds were very irregular, which should have been caused by a kind of scavenger fish near Haimen Island called 'Insect Rhinoceros'.
I think the real cause of his death should be the collapse of his Divine Soul. The Golden Body and Jade Marrow disintegrate after death. The hole in the skull was added later to confuse the public.
I have good reason to suspect that the person who killed him was not from the outer sea, and Haimen Island was not the first scene of his death … "
Lin Youxie said all this in one breath, then looked at Zheng Shangming. "I've said so much. Will the Northern Government investigate the Tian Family of Daze?"
Zheng Shangming was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Well, it depends on the decision of the higher-ups."
Lin Youxie didn't say anything else, just turned and walked out.
Jiang Wang followed her in silence.
Neither of them said anything, and just walked out of the Northern Government in silence.
The people who had come to welcome the coffin had already left. It seemed that the grief that had enveloped the entire Northern Government had only happened when they saw Uriel's body.
"Why are you following me?" Lin Youxie suddenly asked.
"People tend to make stupid choices when they are irrational," Jiang Wang said, "We worked together, and I don't want you to die in the name of a fool."
"Everything is over." Lin Youxie said.
Now that the famous constable Uriel was dead, the clues from Tyrannical Horn Island's Gu Xing would only be hidden even deeper.
Even if there was one before, it must have been erased by now.
In the absence of conclusive evidence, no matter how they suspected or analyzed, no matter how reasonable the analysis was … it was all in vain.
There was nothing crueler than this.
It had been seventeen years since the assassination of Noble Consort Lei.
Uriel and Lin Youxie had also pursued him for 17 years. In the past seventeen years, of course, he had learned something, but he had never been able to get close to the core truth.
They were fighting alone, so it was difficult for them to make progress.
Until Feng Gu's sudden death this time, leaving behind clues that pointed to the current Empress.
Only then did the dusty truth vaguely surface in the water.
Just one more step …
He was only one step away from the truth, but he couldn't take this step no matter what.
How did he feel when Uriel's body floated on the sea?
It must be a pity, right?
But just as Lin Youxie said, everything was over.
Any rational person would understand that this farce was over.
Feng Gu was dead.
Gongsun Yu was dead.
Uriel was dead.
If the endless investigation continued, more people would die.
And the truth wouldn't be revealed.
More people would only die a meaningless death.
Among the more people, of course, could include Yang Jing, Lin Youxie, and even Jiang Wang.
The only reason Lin Youxie was still alive was because of her position as an official.
As the deputy of the patrol inspector, she had a Blue Medal on her waist for many years. Killing her was tantamount to challenging the dignity of the country.
But if it really came to a point where she had to be killed, the person behind the scenes would not be soft-hearted.
After all, even Noble Consort Lei was dead. Why couldn't a mere deputy of the patrol inspector be killed?
"Yes, it seems that everything is over," Jiang Wang said, "but you won't give up."
Lin Youxie continued to walk forward without saying anything.
Jiang Wang followed behind and continued, "You said that you have a firm heart like mine. So I know you won't give up. "
"What can I do if I don't give up?" Lin Youxie said.
Jiang Wang said, "Life is very long. There are many possibilities in the future …"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid." Lin Youxie raised her hand to stop him and then waved it.
"Please go back, Lord Jiang," she said, "I want to be alone."
Jiang Wang stopped in his tracks and quietly watched her walk away.
Linzi was very big, and there were many people. This slightly frail figure walked into the busy street and quickly disappeared.
The more prosperous Linzi was, the more lonely the people who were neglected by the city.
Look at the turbulent crowd, it was so ordinary.
However, every drop of water in the crowd was a person who had spent a long time trekking through life. Everyone had their own story, their own choices, and their own difficulties.
Who didn't suffer in the world?
That was why the Buddhists said that this was the sea of suffering.
Jiang Wang calmed himself down and was about to turn back to the mansion when suddenly a voice sounded in his ears.
"Lin Kuang did die of suicide back then. That's all I can say. "
This voice was obviously disguised. It was very androgynous and hard to distinguish. It was impossible to find the original voice.
Jiang Wang instantly activated his Immortal Mode and almost immediately traced the source of the voice. He turned his head and saw a figure disappearing around the corner of the street.
There was a street in front of the Patrol Mansion. Opposite the street was a high wall. Behind the high wall was a cluster of houses specially built for Blue Medal constables. Many constables lived there. The environment was very good.
The long street extended to both sides. At the end of both sides, there was a long street that cut vertically. It was basically an inverted, "Gong" -shaped layout. Beiya was to the north of this inverted "Gong" -shaped layout.
Except for the street in front of the Patrol Mansion, which was slightly deserted, the streets on both sides were very lively.
Lin Youxie walked on the west side of the street. The mysterious voice went on the east side.
When Jiang Wang caught the source of the voice, he stepped on the ground and shattered the green cloud. He took a step forward and rushed to the east side of the street as fast as he could. However, both sides of the street were bustling with people. The sea of people squeezed here and there. Everyone was busy with their own lives.
How could they find any trace of the mysterious man?
Who was it?
Why did he come here to say this?
Was it because of the so-called simple sense of justice, or pity for Lin Youxie? Or was it because some force didn't want to let the case come to a deadlock and deliberately gave this hint?
Jiang Wang now understood Lin Youxie's state of mind all these years. He understood the sentence in Feng Gu's will —
"Looking around, no one doubts."
Du Fang could be considered half a disciple of Lin Kuang. However, he was the one who threw Lin Kuang's body in front of Lin Youxie.
He was a third-grade Golden Gourd Warrior and a fourth-grade Blue Medal Constable. He strictly followed the rules and went to the autopsy room to do an autopsy. Someone concealed their identity and followed him.
He took a carriage from Beiya on a mission. The coachman was a subordinate of Beiya.
Gongsun Yu didn't say a word and didn't reveal any information. However, he still died in the blink of an eye.
Uriel was a famous constable, and his cultivation was at Immortal Realm. In the end, his body floated on the sea …
When it came to the assassination of Noble Consort Lei, everyone and everything became complicated.
Therefore, even if this voice transmission had a strong hint, Jiang Wang was still very vigilant.
But then again.
If what this mysterious person said was true, Lin Kuang did commit suicide back then …
Then, why?
How could a person like Lin Kuang, the most outstanding Blue Medal Constable in history, a person who took the Blue Medal as his life's glory … commit suicide? Why would he choose such an undignified ending?
The answer was actually very obvious …
…
…
When he returned to the mansion, Chung Geng Sheng was also there.
The fat man was holding a big knife that hadn't been sharpened yet. He was exchanging blows with Fourteenth Prince.
This wasn't a big deal. The only problem was …
The place where they were exchanging blows was Jiang Wang's courtyard.
"Can't you fight somewhere else?" As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Wang couldn't help but frown. "I spent money to decorate this courtyard."
Chung Geng Sheng said without looking back, "I'll pay you double if you break it."
Jiang Wang immediately stopped talking.
They were all friends. There was no need to be calculative.
Anyway, as long as he closed the bedroom and blocked out the sound, he could cultivate. He wasn't afraid of being disturbed.
A truly diligent cultivator should have the willpower to cultivate in a busy city!
"This is for you." Chung Geng Sheng casually threw over a small booklet in the dazzling light of the knife. "The results of Gongsun Yu's investigation."
He was probably waiting for Jiang Wang here. Practicing the knife was just something he did along the way.
Jiang Wang reached out to catch it and muttered, "You're so hardworking. It's not like you."
Chung Geng Sheng said angrily, "You cultivate in front of me every day. How can I be lazy?!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Don't get angry. You can continue."
Jiang Wang didn't want to anger him for now. He stood by the door of the courtyard and quietly read through the intelligence reports in the courtyard that was full of sabers and swords.
The information investigated by the Shadow Guardians almost completely outlined Gongsun Yu's track after he left the Longevity Palace.
The information supported by many sources could be verified. The Longevity Palace had indeed been secretly investigating the case of Imperial Concubine Lei, but it suddenly stopped last year.
This information was completely consistent with Jiang Wang's own inference — Jiang Wuqi did find out the truth and then chose to keep silent. Gongsun Yu also chose to cut his tongue in order to keep this secret.
He put away the information and took out the Sauvignon Blanc.
As soon as the sword rang, Chung Geng Sheng seemed to have received a signal. He suddenly jumped out of the battle, put the knife behind him, and looked at Jiang Wang warily. "What are you doing?"
"That's not the way to use a knife," Jiang Wang's expression was very sincere. "Good brother, I found some problems in your knife skills."
Chung Geng Sheng put the knife directly into the storage box, sat down on the stone chair, and rolled his eyes. "It's none of your business."
His fat body was shaking, and he looked like he was saying, "I'm unarmed now. If you don't have a moral bottom line, come and chop me."
Jiang Wang was a little regretful, but he could only put the sword away. He said, "You're too immodest. Your progress is very slow."
Objectively speaking, Chung Geng Sheng's knife skills were definitely not bad. It could even be said that he had quite good attainments.
But he was indeed a little bit away from the top level of this realm.
Not only his knife skills, Chung Geng Sheng had high attainments in all kinds of Taoist magic arts, secret arts, boxing, and body movements, but none of them reached the top.
He was too smart. He was so smart that he didn't need to work hard to reach a very high level.
But to reach the top level, he couldn't rely only on his cleverness. More importantly, he needed to work hard. He needed to devote himself wholeheartedly to it. He needed to catch fleeting inspirations in his daily practice.
In short, he was still too distracted.
Chung Geng Sheng himself understood this point.
But although opponents like Jiang Wang could help him a little, the effect was very limited in a situation where it was impossible to fight to the death. He wouldn't give Jiang Wang a legitimate opportunity to beat him up.
He was very clear about where his path was. Only the official path could integrate all his talents into one place.
Of course, this path should start with the title of Marquis Bowang … It could save him decades of hard work.
Chung Geng Sheng slumped on the stone chair and curled his lips. "You don't even want the position of the Commandant of the Northern Yamen. Your progress is even slower!"
"I'm too lazy to care about you." Jiang Wang sneered. He walked around him and went straight into the room.
"Look, you don't like to hear this, do you?"
Jiang Wang turned his head. "Then why don't you say something that I like to hear?"
Chung Geng Sheng said, "Our Desheng Chamber of Commerce's business is very good this year. There will be a lot of dividends at the end of the year."
Jiang Wang's taut face showed a hint of a smile.
"But we can't split it. We still have to invest in expanding the business," Chung Geng Sheng said.
"If you ask me, Fourteen shouldn't have spoiled you," Jiang Wang said angrily. "Do you know that Fourteen's swordsmanship is much better than yours? She only suppressed her strength so that she could compare notes with you. You still think that you don't need guidance every day! You're not modest at all. You have no self-awareness! "
Compared to Chung Geng Sheng, Fourteen's swordsmanship was at the peak of this realm. Who knew how much hard work this girl, who hid under the iron armor all year round, had done secretly?
However, Fourteen still hadn't gotten the supernatural power. This was one of her innate shortcomings.
"Really?" Chung Geng Sheng turned his head to look at Fourteen.
Fourteen finally said softly, "Only a little better than you."
"You're too good. How can you be so excellent?" Chung Geng Sheng laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared. "I don't need to work hard at all!"
Jiang Wang frowned. "We've given the information and we've exchanged notes. If you don't have anything else, why don't you go back to your own courtyard? Don't disturb the cultivation in Tianjiao, the number one city in Da Qi! "
He deliberately pointed out Fourteen's swordsmanship progress to humiliate this fatty.
But this fatty didn't look like he was being humiliated at all.
He almost hugged the iron lump and gnawed on it!
He had to chase him away.
Fourteen even took a step back as if he had nothing to hide.
"Ahem!" Chung Geng Sheng coughed lightly. He didn't look embarrassed at all. He said seriously, "Don't get involved anymore. Uncle Jiang? "
Jiang Wang didn't say anything.
Chung Geng Sheng said again, "You're only in charge of supervising the progress of the case. You can quit at any time. This is the stage that the emperor gave you. If you don't take it now, when will you?
He gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. He gave you a stage, but you didn't take it. What do you want to do?
How much do you think the emperor will tolerate you? "
Jiang Wang retreated into the bedroom and scolded jokingly, "It's none of your business."
He closed the door.
