The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

"Parallel wounds?" Xiao Mubei didn't quite understand.

Chu Yunxi then gestured on her wrist a few more times, "It's the wound in the same direction."

The two said they understood, and Chu Yunxi continued, "Combined with the hallucinogenic drugs I found in the deceased's stomach, I guess that this wound should be caused by someone cutting the deceased's wrist while she was unconscious, in order to create the illusion that she had committed suicide by cutting her wrist and bleeding to death. It's a pity that they failed for some reason and the deceased didn't die."

"Are there any other doubts?" Xiao Mubei asked.

"Yes," Chu Yunxi pointed to the bruises on the ankles of the corpse in the autopsy report, "Your Highness, do you remember that we were all there when she fell into the water? I felt that something was wrong with her condition at the time, and I dragged Your Highness to see where she fell into the water."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Of course I remember."

"I didn't notice anything wrong that day, but today I saw the bruises on her feet, and thinking back to the scene that day, I finally found something wrong." Chu Yunxi's eyes were burning, "The shore of that artificial lake is very flat, and tourists usually don't fall into the water. The place they walked to that day was a flat ground. Even if Liu Guizhi twisted her foot, her ankle would only be swollen, but not bruised. And Dou Yian was right next to her at the time. People usually subconsciously grab the people around them. It doesn't make sense for her to fall down after grabbing someone. The only possibility is that she was pushed down and her ankle hit the stone next to her, so there is a bruise."

Li Jinghong couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration, "Princess, you are really amazing. You observe so carefully, as if you saw it with your own eyes."

After listening to Chu Yunxi's speculation today, Li Jinghong felt that he had learned a lot. It turned out that there were so many details on the corpse. No wonder the princess always said that the corpse could speak. When a murder occurs, the earlier the body is found, the more information can be found from the body.

"I also discovered that Liu Guizhi must have been abused on a daily basis," Chu Yunxi said about the many hidden needle holes she found on the body, and then said, "Based on the above findings, I suspect that Dou Yian is a big suspect."

Li Jinghong was surprised, "Dou Yian, isn't he the deceased's husband?"

"Who says a husband won't kill his wife?" Chu Yunxi thought of the infatuated persona that Dou Yian had been creating in front of them, and couldn't help but feel sick. "I suspect that Dou Yian gave his wife hallucinogenic drugs and then repeatedly tried to kill her, but he wanted to escape the blame, so he always created the illusion of suicide."

Xiao Mubei was still a little confused. "Since it was Dou Yian who wanted to kill Liu Guizhi, why didn't Liu Guizhi say anything last night? If she had said it, I would definitely not let Dou Yian take her away."

Chu Yunxi thought for a while and said, "I think there are two reasons. First, she didn't have much rationality left at the time, because at that time, she should have just been forced by Dou Yian to take medicine. She secretly ran out with her willpower and ran to Dingbei Palace. She originally wanted to ask for help, but she was already unconscious. Only the subconscious sentence "That person wants to kill me" kept lingering in her mind, so she could only keep repeating this sentence. Second, she might have been very scared of Dou Yian. I remember that after we rescued her from the water that day, she didn't speak. Dou Yian went to ask her, and she spoke immediately. At that time, I saw fear in her eyes. I thought she was scared because she fell into the water. Now I think about it, she should be afraid of Dou Yian. She was afraid last night too. She was afraid that if you couldn't save her, Dou Yian would catch her back, and she would be abused by Dou Yian if she revealed too much, so she didn't dare to say the man's name."

Xiao Mubei slammed his palm on the desk, causing the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on it to jump. He said angrily, "This person is so abominable."

Chu Yunxi held his hand and said helplessly: "But we have no evidence yet, so we have to trouble Li Shaoqing to send someone to investigate and see if Dou Yian has any motive to harm Liu Guizhi. At the same time, send someone to monitor Dou Yian to prevent him from being on guard and running away in advance."

"Okay, Princess. I'll send someone to investigate right away." Li Jinghong left in a hurry.

Chu Yunxi grabbed Xiao Mubei's hands with both hands and said softly, "My Lord, I know you blame yourself for not saving her, but this is not your fault. It is her fate. We are doing her a favor by helping her clear her name."

Xiao Mubei let out a long sigh. He knew that Chu Yunxi wanted to comfort him. He also knew that no matter how upset he was at the moment, the dead could not be resurrected. It was just hard for him to accept the fact that the person who was standing in front of him alive last night had become a corpse today.

"I'm fine, just give me some time." Xiao Mubei held Chu Yunxi's hand with his backhand.

Chu Yunxi nodded and suddenly asked, "By the way, Liu Guizhi has been dead for so long, why haven't her parents come yet? Have they not received the news that their daughter was killed?"

Xiao Mubei said, "Dou Yian asked us not to tell his father-in-law and mother-in-law first, saying that their health was not good and they were afraid they could not bear the pain of losing their daughter. We thought it made sense, so we did not send anyone to notify them."

Chu Yunxi thought about it and said, "I'm afraid there is some conspiracy here. We still have to investigate it."

Xiao Mubei nodded, called Hei Mu over, and told him to go to Liu Guizhi's parents immediately to find out if there was any unknown secret between Dou Yian and them.

After all the people were sent out, Xiao Mubei finally felt relieved. At this time, Wen Rulan and Chu Zhongxi came to the Dali Temple together, and Wen Rulan also brought two food boxes.

As soon as the two entered the door, Chu Yunxi asked, "Second brother, Senior brother, why are you here?"

Chu Zhongxi said, "Do you still remember my second brother? The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion and the Prince of Dingbei's Mansion are next to each other. It's so difficult for me to see you that I have to go to the Dali Temple."

Chu Yunxi thought that she had not seen her second brother for a long time. Now that her eldest brother and his wife had gone to southern Xinjiang, her second brother was the only one in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion. She had indeed neglected it, so she held Chu Zhongxi's hand and said apologetically, "Second brother, I'm sorry. I've been too busy recently and didn't have time to visit you. If you are bored at home in the future, come to the Dali Temple to find me. I can help us come up with strategies together. With more people and more ideas, maybe we can speed up our case-solving speed."

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll come to Dali Temple to see you guys when I have nothing to do in the future. By the way, before I came here, I went to Ruyun Tower to see Rulan. He just happened to have made some delicious dishes and planned to send them over, so we came together."
