My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Mei Xueer kept sticking to Shen, which made Shen a little uncomfortable and her eyes were red.

Hearing that they wanted to talk about business, Mei Xue'er tactfully pulled Shen up and said, "Father, you guys talk about business. Your daughter and mother will go and apply the medicine first."

Prime Minister Mei's eyes softened again as he looked at his daughter.

My daughter has really changed a lot, as if she has grown up overnight.

After Shen and Mei Xueer left, Cui Hongjing asked, "Powerful and noble? I wonder what Master Mei means by that?"

"I suspect it's the Crown Prince!" Mei Jiayun finally gritted his teeth and said the word "Crown Prince". "Your Highness should know better than me who the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor is."

Cui Hongjing's face was gloomy. Is this the prince again?

How could he not know that the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was from the Prince's faction?

Prime Minister Mei said, "There are no outsiders present today. Jiayun, you should tell the prince the whole story and not hide anything."

"Yes! Even if His Majesty didn't ask today, I had intended to report the doubts in this case to His Majesty."

Mei Jiayun met his brother-in-law's deep eyes and said, "This is what happened."

It turned out that more than a month ago, a tragic case of family annihilation occurred in the capital.

All eleven members of a merchant's family died at home overnight.

After receiving the report, Jingzhao Prefecture rushed to the scene, but found that they had no idea how these people died.

There were no external injuries, no internal injuries, and no signs of poisoning. The eleven people seemed to be asleep, except that they were not breathing.

The coroner changed one after another, but none of them had encountered such a bizarre way of death.

A few days later, Jingzhao Prefecture caught a habitual thief in the capital. He confessed that when he entered the prefecture to steal money, he alarmed the merchant, so he had to kill him to silence him.

As for how he killed these people, the thief said he bought poison from an old man on the street, which could kill people without any abnormalities.

The old man was an outsider who had a fixed stall in the capital, where he usually sold poisons to kill snakes, insects, rats and ants. But when the police came to question the old man, no one was in the house.

Neighbors said that this was an old man who had been missing for several days. After much investigation, the neighbors did not know where this old man came from, let alone where he had gone. They only knew that his last name was Lu, or Lu, ...

The case ended here, and nothing more could be found.

Mei Jiayun was the chief judge of Jingzhao Prefecture. He always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

First of all, let’s not talk about whether there is such poison in the world. The physical evidence and witness testimony did not form a chain of evidence. According to the procedure, this case cannot be closed.

But the prefect of Jingzhao urged him to close the case and warned him, "Don't think you are self-righteous just because you have a prime minister father. There are some people that even your father cannot afford to offend."

I can't even afford to offend the Prime Minister, so who else can I offend besides the royal family?

Considering the relationship between the Jingzhao prefect and the prince, Mei Jiayun boldly guessed that it was the prince.

But why should the prince care about the death of just a merchant?

“Not to mention the crown prince, even my father is very concerned about this.” Cui Hongjing only then realized that this case had so many twists and turns before it was reported to the Ministry of Justice.

"Can I see the deceased?" Mei Xueer supported Shen and walked in.

She didn't want to get involved in the Dog Prince's affairs, but this matter involved her eldest brother and the lives of eleven innocent people.

Well, maybe I can earn some gratitude points from the Dog King as well.

Everyone in the room looked at her as if she were crazy.

"Do you think this is just a child's game? You are a princess now, stop talking nonsense!" Prime Minister Mei scolded.

Mei Xueer smiled calmly, helped Shen sit down, and then said: "I just heard the general idea of ​​this case. I only know that eleven lives were lost just like that. I only know that after so much time, no coroner has been able to determine the cause of death. Since no one can do anything, why not let me try."

"You? Haha." Cui Hongjing finally spoke to her for the first time today, "What right do you have to perform an autopsy? Because you are the prince's man?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone trembled.

Cui Hongjing had been holding this anger in his heart for an unknown period of time.

No one could accept the humiliation brought upon him by Mei Xue'er, let alone a prince.

Mei Xue'er ignored Goudan's repeated reminders, "Don't be stubborn. If you can't find the cause, you're dead." She gently pushed away Shen's trembling hand that was holding her, limped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I don't like what you said, but I can't control your thoughts. I am willing to guarantee with my own life that I will find out the cause of death. Your Majesty, don't be so self-indulgent. I am only doing this for my elder brother."

"Xue'er, stop messing around! Big brother can handle this himself." Mei Jiayun quickly pulled her up, "As for you... How could big brother not know you?"

"Brother, do you think I'm talking nonsense? Or do you think I'm doing something shameful for the prince and don't want me to lose my life for nothing?" Mei Xueer looked back at him, "Since I've guaranteed my life, even if I can't find any results, it won't be a loss to anyone. It's just that I, a woman who has tarnished the Mei family's reputation and brought shame to the prince, will be gone, which will be a relief for everyone, right? But, what if I find out something?"

How could Prime Minister Mei, Shen and Mei Jiayun dare to agree? They knew their daughter's character and abilities best.

Although she seems to be more sensible today, how could she perform an autopsy?

Perhaps the only skill she is good at is seducing the prince.

She even dared to use her own life as a guarantee, and everyone seemed to see her being beheaded.

Unexpectedly, Cui Hongjing agreed readily, "Okay! I'll do as you say! If you can really find out the cause of death, I'll allow you to leave Cuihong Garden."

What? Cuihongyuan? What does it mean?

However, Prime Minister Mei, Shen and Mei Jiayun have no time to care about Cuihongyuan now.

The three of them were so frightened that they fell to their knees at the same time. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this cannot happen! Your Majesty, please let the princess live!"

"I have made up my mind, Princess. You can start at any time." Cui Hongjing finally showed his first smile since he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion today.

You are asking for death, don't blame me for being cruel.

In this way, I can get rid of this junk completely and legitimately, which is good.

Cui Hongjing was also considerate enough to allow Mei Xueer not to return home for the next two days so that she could fully assist Mei Jiayun in investigating the case.

In short, she caused her own death, and I will investigate my own case.

Haha, if this junker knew how to perform autopsies, sows would fly into the sky.

Although his father had clearly told him not to investigate the case any further and that the crown prince might be involved, Cui Hongjing had no intention of giving up.

If he was not such a Prince Jing, Cui Qimo probably wouldn't treat him like this.

That afternoon, Mei Xueer asked his eldest brother to take him to the place where the body was kept.

Along the way, Mei Jiayun was worried.

"Brother," Mei Xueer followed behind him, "Brother, don't worry, I have a way."

In the original owner's memory, although this elder brother and she were not born of the same mother, he always doted on her, even a little without principles.

No matter how suicidal and embarrassing the original owner was, Mei Jiayun just felt sorry for her and never felt like hitting or scolding her.

She still remembered that her elder brother often gave her earnest advice, saying that girls should respect themselves and be reserved. Especially in marriage, if you meet the wrong person, your life will be ruined.

The eldest brother never spoke to her about these things from the perspective of the family. Every word he said was analyzed from her perspective.

Unfortunately, the original owner couldn't hear anything. Instead, he felt that his elder brother was nagging and scolded him for being as long-winded as a woman.

At this moment, looking at her brother's straight back and listening to his sighs, Mei Xueer felt a little sad.

Having such a family is her only luck after traveling to this strange world.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but step forward and gently hold Mei Jiayun's arm.

Mei Jiayun was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable, but a faint smile appeared between his brows.

"Brother, what I said is true. From now on I will listen to you and promise not to worry you. I was the one who was wrong before, but now I have figured it out." She said softly.

Although Mei Jiayun didn't quite believe what she said, he still smiled gently and patted her hand that was holding his arm, "Brother, I believe you."

Although it was winter and lime was sprinkled on the body, the eleven corpses were already highly decomposed, with green stains all over their bodies, and they all looked like giants.

Mei Jiayun had been dealing with corpses for a long time and was familiar with the disgusting stench of corpses. However, he did not expect that his sister was not afraid of the stench and was not even afraid of such a horrific scene.

He didn't know if the girl was afraid before, because he had never tried it. But the girl's appearance now really scared Mei Jiayun, it was scarier than those corpses.

Because Mei Xueer was almost sticking to one of the corpses, examining it carefully.

Mei Jiayun was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand.

Even he doesn't dare to do this!

Half a day passed and Mei Xueer finally came out.

Mei Jiayun, who had no hope at all, couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What did you see?"

He brought her here just to give it a try, and seeing how professional she was, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

Mei Xueer shook her head slightly in confusion.

The coroner was right. There was nothing unusual on the eleven bodies. At least, these highly decomposed bodies did not show anything unusual on the surface.

The glimmer of hope that Mei Jiayun had finally created was instantly shattered.

How stupid! Knowing that this sister is unreliable, you still asked her what she saw?

Unexpectedly, he heard another sentence next: "Can I dissect these bodies?"

"Anatomy? What anatomy?"

"We just cut open their brains and stomachs with a knife to see if there are any clues inside their bodies."

The girl said this so calmly, as if killing a fish was as simple as that. But she had never even killed a fish before!

Mei Jiayun waved his hands quickly, "That won't work. Even though they have no family members left, they are still being cut into pieces after they die. Wouldn't that mean that the body will be completely destroyed? Besides, can you find out the cause of death by dissecting it open? I've never heard of any coroner saying there is such a method."

He only knew that when the coroner examined the bodies of drowned or burned people, he would cut the throat of the dead with a knife to check whether the dead were thrown into the water or fire after death, or drowned or burned alive. But he had never heard that even the stomach and brain would be cut open.

"Brother, look, if I do nothing, I will die. If I find a clue, I can live and help you solve the case. So, why shouldn't I do it? No matter what the result is, it won't be worse than it is now." Mei Xueer looked at him anxiously and sincerely, "Brother, you have to believe me."

In the end, Mei Jiayun unexpectedly agreed and had someone make all the tools and protective equipment she needed overnight according to the drawings drawn by Mei Xueer.

Anyway, the merchant has been wiped out, and even if we want to seek consent from the relatives of the deceased, we can't find them.
