Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

The old woman's home is deep in a remote alley. The house doesn't look big, but compared to the nearby houses, it's pretty good.

After being introduced by Jiang Xun and Wen Jinnian, Jiang Yueyang knew that the people living here were peddlers and poor students.

They have classmates living in this area.

The old woman pushed open the door and said sideways, "My lords, this is my home."

Jiang Yueyang walked in first. The inside looked pretty much as she had imagined, poor but also warm.

The old woman wanted to find the murderer who killed her grandson as soon as possible, so she asked impatiently: "Sir, can I take you to see my grandson?"

Jiang Yueyang nodded.

Then the old woman led them to the main room, where a coffin was placed and the deceased was lying inside.

The old woman walked towards the coffin, and with trembling hands, she gently lifted the white cloth, revealing a pale young man.

Jiang Yueyang lagged behind her by a few steps, and as soon as she approached the coffin, she smelled the stinking odor of a corpse.

It's only because it's spring now and the temperature is not high, otherwise it would be even more smelly.

She glanced at the body and saw a deep strangulation mark on the neck. She had already read the case file on the way here and knew that the strangulation mark was the cause of death.

Bai Ze skillfully took out gloves and put them on, carefully examining the condition of the corpse.

Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang looked at the three men, Prince Yan, and said, "Watch carefully and learn from Lord Bai. From now on, you will all handle cases independently."

"Yes." Jiang Xun and Wen Jinnian responded in unison. The King of Yan has not yet realized this.

It didn't take long for Bai Ze to finish examining the body.

He said, "Looking at the body, there are no obvious signs of a struggle before death. In this case, the deceased either died immediately after being hung up, or was hung up while unconscious."

"However, according to the coroner's autopsy report, the deceased did not have any drugs that could cause coma in his system, nor did he have any external injuries on his body." Jiang Xun continued his words.

Bai Ze nodded. "So, do you think the deceased committed suicide or was he murdered?"

They looked at each other, unable to come up with an immediate answer.

"Speak boldly." Bai Ze encouraged.

Jiang Yueyang was also watching them encouragingly.

Jiang Xun thought for a moment and spoke first: "I think it was a homicide. Although there are no obvious signs of struggle and no drugs, it is impossible for a conscious person to commit suicide by hanging and suffocate without struggling."

"As I said earlier, the deceased may have died instantly, so there are no obvious signs of a struggle."

Jiang Xun was silent.

Bai Ze looked at Wen Jinnian and gestured for him to speak.

"I think it was suicide. The door was locked, there were no external injuries, and there was a handwritten suicide note. These are all strong evidence of a person committing suicide." Wen Jinnian expressed his opinion.

Bai Ze looked at Jiang Yueyang, "What does Si Zheng think?"

Jiang Yueyang felt that what her brother and Wen Jinnian said made sense, but she was more inclined to believe it was homicide.

She smiled slightly, pointed to the end of the deceased's robe and said, "Look here."

Several people squinted their eyes and looked at it for a while before they saw two drops of blood on it.

The deceased was wearing a red wedding dress before her death, so the bloodstains on it could not be seen unless you looked carefully.

Jiang Yueyang also thought the deceased had long legs, and only then did she see them.

Bai Ze immediately turned his head to look at the old woman, "Has your grandson ever worn this wedding suit before?"

"No!" the old woman said confidently, "I made this wedding suit for my grandson myself. I washed it after I finished making it. There is absolutely no chance of it being stained with blood."

In other words, the bloodstains were left on the body before the death of the deceased.

"Sir, my grandson was murdered, right?" the old woman asked immediately.

Bai Ze frowned, "It's very likely, but we can't be sure yet. We still need to go to the scene and take a look."

Soon, they followed the old woman to the room where the deceased had lived. Although the layout of the room was simple, the things were neatly arranged.

As soon as he entered, Bai Ze asked, "Has anything inside been moved?"

"No! After the government officials finished their investigation, I locked the room and didn't let anyone in." The old woman replied quickly.

Jiang Yueyang stood at the door and examined it carefully. If there was no other way out, the key to the murder in a closed room would be this door.

Several people looked around the room. Prince Yan walked to the window to see if there were any signs of it being pried open. Bai Ze looked up at the beam where the deceased had hanged himself. Wen Jinnian knocked on the wall to see if there was a secret room...

The old woman stood aside, watching their every move nervously, her eyes full of anticipation.

She hopes Jiang Yueyang and others can find the murderer and avenge her grandson.

At this moment, Jiang Xun, who was standing next to the desk, suddenly shouted, "Yangyang, let me see the deceased's suicide note again."

"Oh~" Jiang Yueyang immediately handed the suicide note to him.

Jiang Xun unfolded the suicide note and compared it with the manuscript left by the deceased, and quickly pointed out something wrong.

"Look at the character '念' (reading) in the deceased's manuscript. The last dot of the character '念' is slightly hooked upwards, but in the suicide note, it's hooked downwards."

After a careful look, they found that it was indeed true. Bai Ze even found a few more manuscripts for comparison, and the situation was indeed as Jiang Xun said.

From this it seems that the suicide note was not written by the deceased.

Jiang Yueyang looked at her brother with satisfaction and couldn't help but show off to the system: [Little melon, my brother is really amazing! ]

[Yeah, that's pretty impressive.] The system agreed.

Hearing their praise, Jiang Xun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a secretly happy smile.

Prince Yan and Wen Jinnian both felt a little disappointed. How come they didn’t discover anything?

Especially the King of Yan, who didn't ask Bai Ze when he asked whether the deceased was murdered or committed suicide.

He was very unhappy. He was also a member of the Supervisory Department, so why not ask him!

Jiang Yueyang and the system hummed proudly, then asked the old woman, "Who was the last person your grandson saw on the day he hanged himself?"

When the old woman heard this, her eyes widened and she asked, "Your Excellency, are you saying that the last person my grandson saw was the murderer?"

"We can't draw a conclusion yet, but that person is a major suspect. So... who was the last person he saw?"
