This was the first time that Song Qingwan entered the Dali Temple. Shen Jingyi led her directly to the backyard. As soon as she entered the backyard door, she smelled a dead rat. Song Qingwan covered her nose.

"Um, Miss Song, the body has been lying around for seven days, so..."

"I see. The weather is about to get worse."

Song Qingwan didn't act pretentiously. She directly tore a mask from the space and put it on her face, then handed one to Shen Jingyi and motioned him to put it on as well.

Shen Jingyi quickly took it and felt much better after putting it on.

The two men walked to the room where the body was placed. When the two yamen runners at the door saw Lord Shen coming, they immediately opened the door and ran away, covering their noses.

"You little brat, your parents can handle it, but you can't."

"I've been standing here all the time. It's good enough that I can hold on," Song Qingwan said fairly.

Shen Jingyi coughed awkwardly, then stepped forward and lifted the cloth covering the corpse.

"Ugh..." Shen Jingyi covered his mouth and tried not to spit it out, his face turned pale.

"Leave this to me, Lord Shen, you can go out now. Remember not to let anyone come in and disturb you." Song Qingwan walked forward calmly and began to check.

Shen Jingyi felt as if he had been granted amnesty. Although he felt that it was not very kind to leave Song Qingwan here alone, he really couldn't stand it, so he could only nod quickly and run out.

Song Qingwan started working. She brought the corpse into her own space with a thought, put on a white coat and started working.

She first sprayed the body with disinfectant, then cut off all the clothes because the body had already begun to rot so she had to cut off the clothes.

"There are no obvious external injuries on the body, only slight abrasions. It looks like he was dragged before he died."

Song Qingwan turned on all kinds of machines and checked the internal organs of the body. She found that there were signs of bleeding in the internal organs and there was also blood congestion in the brain.

"This is obviously the damage caused by the accumulation of toxins over the years. The cause of death should be a sudden outbreak of toxins, that is, sudden bleeding. This is obviously caused by chronic poisoning over the years."

Song Qingwan directly overturned her previous conclusion. This person was indeed poisoned. Strictly speaking, it was the toxins deposited in the food, not poison.

To put it simply, for example, a food that you eat frequently may not cause any harm to the human body by itself, but if you eat it at the same time as another food, it may produce toxins and cause toxin deposition. This is the so-called food incompatibility.

After Song Qingwan came to the conclusion, she took the corpse out of the space. She first opened the doors and windows to let in some fresh air, and then called Shen Jingyi in.

"Ah... this... Miss Song, where are your clothes?"

"Oh, cut it. The body has already decayed. If I take it off, it might damage the body."

Shen Jingyi's face flushed red. He looked at Song Qingwan, who looked calm and composed, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

This corpse is a man after all. How could Song Qingwan, a grown woman, not be shy? What if he was also...

"Lord Shen?" Song Qingwan noticed that Shen Jingyi's face turned red and white, and thought he was possessed by evil spirits.

"Ah...oh...oh, Miss Song, have you come to a conclusion?" Shen Jingyi found that he couldn't even maintain the most basic demeanor in front of Song Qingwan.

"Toxins accumulated, and he had been eating incompatible foods for a long time. After the toxins exploded, his internal organs and brain suddenly bled. In simple terms, he was killed by someone using food."

"So, the suspect is still from their house." After all, apart from the people around him, no one could have access to his food.

Song Qingwan nodded in agreement.

"Someone, go to Lord Li's house and check!" Now that we know how the person died, we should investigate immediately.

"Master Li? Which Master Li?"

"It was Li Xiuzhen from the Censorate, Lord Li. The deceased was Lord Li's eldest son, Li Jinwen."

Song Qingwan raised her eyebrows. Isn't that Li Caiwei's home? What a coincidence. It seems that the person who died is most likely Li Caiwei's brother.

Song Qingwan did not get involved in the investigation of the case in Li's mansion. She said goodbye to Shen Jingyi and returned to the prime minister's residence.

Shen Jingyi acted quickly. Following the clues found by Song Qingwan, he interrogated everyone in the Li family's kitchen. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the murderer was Li Caiwei's mother, Wang.

Li Jinwen is the eldest son of Lord Li, and his original wife was angered to death by Wang a few years ago. Wang wanted to become his legal wife, but she was born in a brothel and was of low status, so according to the law she could not be his principal wife.

Seeing that Li Jinwen was becoming more and more outstanding and even passed the imperial examination last year, while Wang's son Li Jinjiang was a scoundrel, Wang became jealous and wanted to kill him.

She bribed Li Dawu, the kitchen helper, to tamper with Li Jinwen's diet all year round. Because Li Jinwen liked to eat kelp, Li Dawu would secretly put crab meat in it every time he ate it. Over time, Li Jinwen became poisoned.

After Li Jinwen died, Wang and Li Dawu were afraid of being discovered, so they planned to secretly find a place to dispose of the body at night. However, they were almost discovered by the night watchman when they were throwing the body, so they hastily dumped it at the door of Tianxiang Tower.

In the end, Shen Jingyi ignored Li Caiwei and Li Jinjiang's pleadings, imprisoned Wang and Li Dawu, and executed them on a certain day.

When Song Qingwan heard the news, she couldn't help but give Shen Jingyi a thumbs up in her heart. This Lord Shen was indeed impartial and just.

If it were any other government office, they might not be so tough, but the Dali Temple was directly under the emperor's control. Not only the family members of fifth-rank officials, but even princes and nobles would be arrested.

After Wang was imprisoned, Lord Li fell ill and the entire Li Mansion became lifeless.

"What did you say? Was it that Song Qingwan who found out?"

"How could Second Brother lie to you about this? I've asked people about it. Big Brother's body has rotted away and Shen Jingyi hasn't found out the cause of death. If it weren't for Song Qingwan's intervention, maybe we could have gotten the body back if we had made a scene twice more."

"Humph! This Song Qingwan!"

Li Caiwei slammed the table hard. Li Jinwen's case was about to be suppressed. If the cause of death could not be found, then the murderer would not be found. Her father had to close the case no matter how unwilling he was.

She felt something was fishy, ​​so she asked Li Jinjiang to investigate, and it turned out that it was Song Qingwan who found out!

"Sister, do you know her?"

"More than knowing each other, we even had a very unpleasant incident at the Princess's residence!"

"Then we can't let her go. If she hadn't interfered, how could mother have been captured?" Li Jinjiang also gritted his teeth.

"Of course I won't let you go, Song Qingwan! I will never let you go!"

Song Qingwan didn't know yet, she just helped Shen Jingyi to perform an autopsy, but she actually provoked this plague god again. It's true that when people get what they want, disaster will come from the sky!
