The cruel little princess

The guards rushed forward, took a quick look, and then ran out again. Some of the guards even covered their mouths and retched. Aunt Mei also ran out quickly, "Report to the police! Report to the police quickly! Mudan is dead! Mudan is dead!" Immediately, a servant ran out to report to the police.

Upon hearing that there had indeed been a murder, Shen Youyou whispered to Chuntao, "Wait for me here! Don't leave," and headed upstairs. She was like a stabilizing force, instantly soothing Chuntao's trembling heart. It seemed as if as long as the young lady was around, she had nothing to fear.

Shen Youyou calmly walked up to the second floor. Aunt Mei forced herself to stop him. He looked like a little kid who didn't know the sufferings of the world. He had red lips and white teeth, but he was just a bit stupid. When people heard about the murder, they were scared and ran away. But he didn't run away, and instead walked upstairs. "Young master, a murder just happened here. Miss Mudan in our building was brutally murdered by that person. The person who hurt Mudan is still inside. Young master, don't go over there, or you will have nightmares at night!" Aunt Mei still had a conscience and waved her hands to stop him from going over.

"Auntie, I'm not afraid of death! I've been to the frontier with my father and have seen countless deaths!" Shen Youyou pretended to be nonchalant. "I just want to go and see what's happening to Miss Mudan. Are you sure she was killed by that guy?"

Aunt Mei: ...I'm not your aunt! "Young Master, you absolutely cannot do that! The murderer is still inside!"

"Then why doesn't he run away?" Shen Youyou said, taking another step forward, his nose filled with the strong smell of blood.

"He... he seems injured too?" Aunt Mei said uncertainly. Yes, there was a man lying on the bed. I couldn't see his face clearly, but he was definitely lying there motionless. What happened? Could he be dead too? Thinking of this, Aunt Mei wanted to go back and take a closer look, but she stopped at the door. She really couldn't bear to watch the scene!

"Let me do it! I can do an autopsy!" Aunt Mei saw the young man calmly walk to the door and glance at her, as if asking for her consent.

Forget it, Aunt Mei made up her mind and let him go and take a look. Maybe he could solve this murder case sooner! Aunt Mei nodded and said, "I'll go in with you so we can be companions. Don't be afraid when you see it." Aunt Mei stretched out her hand and beckoned a few big men to come up and signaled them to follow in. Just now, these burly men couldn't help vomiting because they had seen the most shocking scene in their lives. Now that they were mentally prepared, they were not too scared. So they followed Aunt Mei and Shen Youyou in.

When Shen Youyou walked into the room, she saw the little maid lying not far from the door. Judging from her posture, she must be the one who had just shouted the news. She quickly walked over to her side, squatted down, and felt her neck pulse. Good, she was still alive, nothing serious, just fainted from shock.

Shen Youyou passed through the faintly transparent pink gauze curtains, gently swaying with the breeze from the door, and saw a figure on the bed. She walked over and saw a shocking scene: the woman on the bed was completely naked, her stomach ripped open, her intestines violently pulled out and spread all over the bed. There was also a fist-sized piece of flesh on the bed! She was obviously dead! Her eyes were bloodshot, clearly terrified and furious!

Beside the bed lay a man in brocade clothes, holding a dagger. Because he was facing the bed, his appearance could not be seen clearly. Shen Youyou took a step forward and was about to check on the man when Aunt Mei grabbed him and said, "Young Master, don't go over there. He's holding a dagger!"

"It's okay." Shen Youyou took another step forward. "He must have been drugged." She could smell the faint aroma of drugged air. "Open the windows for ventilation!" Shen Youyou ordered without turning back. The strong men obeyed and opened the windows. However, the windows were extremely difficult to open, as if they were fixed in place. It took a lot of effort for the strong men to open all four windows to ventilate.

Shen Youyou walked over and turned the man's head. At first glance, he looked somewhat like Chu Huaijin. Could it be that all the sons and daughters of wealthy families looked alike? Shen Youyou suppressed her doubts and pulled out a small medicine bottle from her sleeve. She poured out a pill and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

"Hey!" Aunt Mei was just about to tell her not to feed him random food when she heard Shen Youyou say, "It's okay, it's the antidote. He was poisoned by the Seven Deadly Powder. If there is no antidote, he will die silently in his sleep in seven days."

"So he is the murderer of Mudan?" Aunt Mei asked impatiently.

"No," Shen Youyou explained. "Judging from his appearance, he's been poisoned by the Seven Deadly Powder for at least half a day. But look at Mudan here..." Shen Youyou pointed at the liquid. "You should know what this is, right?" Shen Youyou said with a slightly unnatural tone. "From the state of these things, it can be seen that Mudan was forced upon. The murderer must have left an incense stick ago."

"Could it be that Mudan encountered a villain who wanted to rape her, and Mudan resisted, so the murderer... raped her and killed her?" Aunt Mei asked, covering her nose with a handkerchief.

Shen Youyou carefully examined the bloody mess on the bed. She glanced around, but couldn't find anything suitable. Seeing the handkerchief in Aunt Mei's hand, she reached for it, folded it several times, and then carefully examined the piece of flesh that had been casually thrown on the bed. Once she saw the situation clearly and confirmed what she was thinking, she gasped: This was actually a fetus that was over three months old and already fully formed!

"Mudan was murdered and her caesarean sectioned before she was raped!" Shen Youyou said, looking at the bloodstains on the bed.

"Why do you think so?" a man's voice came from behind.

Shen Youyou turned around and saw a tall, imposing figure dressed in an official robe with a peacock-patterned pattern. His face resembled Pan An's, his nose like a hanging gallbladder, his eyes resolute and resolute, and his lips thin and crimson. He looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. A dozen yamen runners flanked him. Shen Youyou thought to herself, "How strange! Why does this man look more like Chu Huaijin than the man who had just been poisoned by the Seven Deadly Powder? Could it be that everyone she saw now bore a resemblance to Chu Huaijin?"

Little did she know that the man was also observing her carefully. The young man was too petite, but his expression did not look sick. Perhaps he was not him, but her... Perhaps the eyes of the man in official uniform were too sharp, which made Shen Youyou feel a little uncomfortable, as if her disguise was exposed and he saw through her!

After a few breaths, Shen Youyou regained her composure and pointed at the bloody mass on the bed. "At first, I thought it was Miss Mudan's internal organs, since her intestines were ripped out. But I just checked, and it's a fetus, at least three months old!" Everyone gasped upon hearing this. "Based on the blood on the fetus and the color of the blood sprayed on her intestines, Miss Mudan must have been murdered at least an hour ago. But judging by the evidence the murderer left behind, he must have left about an incense stick ago."

"How did you know? I hope the young master can tell me in detail." It was still the man who adhered to the principle of asking if he didn't understand. He really didn't know how Shen Youyou determined the time.

"When human blood first flows out, it is bright red or slightly darker in color, but it will coagulate and change color after being out of the body for more than half an hour. You can see that the blood on the fetus has dried up and turned dark brown. Judging from the color of the blood, it proves that it has been out of the mother's body for about an hour. The evidence just discharged from the body is jelly-like, and the color is generally milky white or grayish white. After an incense stick of time, it will gradually liquefy and become translucent milky white or grayish white." Shen Youyou analyzed professionally and quickly, "It's really strong! So I concluded that Miss Peony is Killed first and then raped! And the murderer was not this man, because he had been poisoned by Qi Jue Powder for more than half a day. Qi Jue Powder, as the name suggests, is a colorless and odorless poison. After taking it, you will be in a coma and unconscious, just like now, and it is impossible to wake up in the middle of the night. If there is no antidote, you will die in a coma after seven days. That's why it is called Qi Jue Powder. So judging by the time, this man should have been brought here as a scapegoat. The murderer brought him here after killing someone, stuffed the dagger used in the murder in his hand, and created the illusion that he had committed the murder. "Shen Youyou analyzed it rationally.
