At this moment, Lan Ying'er was the only one left in the room, facing a dead body that had been completely cooled. Although it was broad daylight, but it was the first time that she had to do such a thing.

Lan Ying'er leaned forward, at this moment, she felt a pungent blood gushing straight into her nostrils, her heart suddenly choked, and two streams of hot tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

I don't know if I am so sad because I feel pity for Ji Xiang who is in her youth, or if this smell of blood reminds her of the deeper and thicker smell of blood in the imperial prison.

Lan Ying'er untied Ji Xiang's blood-stained skirt, and saw a blood hole in the middle of her throat in front of her neck that was much bigger than a sewing needle.The blood in the blood hole had already congealed, she raised her hand and gently pulled out the blood hole, and the endocervical membrane could be faintly seen to have split along the flesh.

"Such a ruthless attack, how much hatred should this be?"

"No, I have to measure the depth of the wound so that I can know what weapon killed it."

Although Wen Chen didn't explain this, she could tell after thinking about it that this was an extremely important clue.However, Wen Chen did not give her any tools to use. She fixed her eyes on the dowry beside the bronze mirror, and found a suitable jade hairpin inside. He carefully poked the tip of the hosta along the wound.

"The depth of the wound is as long as half a stick, and the thickness is slightly thinner than this hosta."

Lan Yinger recorded this clue in the book.

While she was recording, she suddenly remembered that when she was probing the wound just now, she seemed to smell another kind of smell from the smell of blood, which was a faint fragrance, very special.So she leaned closer to the wound to smell it. At this time, she felt a lot more at ease in her heart, as if she had gotten used to it.

"There is an unknown fragrance from the wound."

She also recorded this one.

Next, according to what Wen Chen said, she checked the deceased's hair, ears, back of the head and other parts of the head.

Then, all of Ji Xiang's dresses had to be taken off.

Although they are both women, Lan Yinger still feels a little shy, and has to check her perineum to see if there is any abnormality.Think of her, a woman who has never been a human being, how can she know this.

Before taking off Ji Xiang's clothes, Lan Ying'er bowed her hands to Ji Xiang's corpse and said, "Miss Ji Xiang, I'm so sorry! I just want to find the real culprit for such an offense, so I can pay you justice."

After finishing speaking, she began to take off Ji Xiang's clothes, but fortunately, there was no abnormality under Ji Xiang's body.

Next, Lan Yinger put on Ji Xiang's clothes, twisted a towel in the basin prepared earlier, wiped off the blood on Ji Xiang's neck and chest, and tidied Ji Xiang's clothes again.

After Lan Ying'er took off the gut gloves, she wanted to open the door and go out, but the smell came out of her mind again, so she turned around and searched in Ji Xiang's room.

There was a box of face powder and a bottle of balm on the dressing table. After smelling it a few times, they didn't smell like Ji Xiang's wound.

Then I smelled it in the incense burner again, but it wasn't that smell either.

After searching to no avail, Lan Yinger opened the door.

Wen Chen went into the room to read the autopsy records written by Lan Yinger, with a solemn expression, but satisfied in his heart.

Then Su Qi took a few Jin Yiwei to investigate in Ji Xiang's house.

Wen Chen took Lan Yinger to ask questions in the next yard.

He had earlier arranged for his subordinates to gather everyone in Ji's mansion, except Ji Gang, his mother, and the two maids who took care of Ji Gang's mother, in the courtyard next door to Ji Xiang.

As usual, Lan Ying'er was watching the situation.

According to the servant girl Xiaocui, after Zishi, the lady was dressed up by four makeup girls, Xiaocui sent the makeup girls out of the house, and when it was almost five o'clock, she went to the kitchen to get the red dates, lily and lotus seeds soup that she had prepared earlier. It was for the young lady to eat, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw the young lady sitting on the chair with her hands hanging down, and her neck was bleeding profusely.

Wen Chen asked, "Why is Ji Xiang the only one left in the room?"

Xiao Cui cried: "Miss Xi Jing, earlier the room was full of people, noisy, Miss was very upset, after Zhuangniang left, Miss sent away all the maids and wives in the house. "She raised her eyes to look at Wen Chen, and suddenly burst into tears of grievance, "Mr. Wen, Miss was unhappy yesterday, and I know it's because Miss has you in her heart."

Wen Chen was a little embarrassed.

Lan Ying'er looked at Wen Chen, and then at the room, thinking that Wen Chen still had this relationship with the deceased.

At this moment, Ji Xiang's second brother, Ji Ming, wiped his tears and said, "Brother Chen, did Ji Xiang commit suicide?"

Wen Chen shook his head: "No, first of all, there is no murder weapon beside Ji Xiang, and Ji Xiang's death is obviously frightened, it seems that when she was sitting on the chair, someone stood behind her and slapped her .”

Hearing this, Ji Ming started to cry again: "Ah Xiang, you died too badly."

The bride, Liu Shi, also wiped away her tears, and helped her husband, Ji Ming, to the side.

Then Wen Chen asked the guard at the door: "After Xiaocui sent the four makeup girls out, did the makeup girls return?"

The servant replied: "No, the four makeup girls hired a carriage and never returned to the mansion after leaving the mansion."

Wen Chen said to Xiaocui again: "Who were the people who were in the lady's room before, you can tell them all."

Then they cross-examined the servants one by one.

There were many people in the mansion, and it took nearly an hour to finish the question.

Finally, I asked the housekeeper if all the servants in the mansion had arrived. After the housekeeper counted them one by one, he said that there was one who hadn't returned, and he was the mansion's servant who was doing the shopping. Maybe he missed the time to go out of the city yesterday.

Coming out of the courtyard, Wen Chen asked Lan Yinger: "Is there anything unusual?"

Lan Ying'er said: "Everything else is normal, but Ji Xiang's new sister-in-law, Liu Shi, seems to have a problem."

Wen Chen: "What's the problem?"

Lan Yinger: "It seems that crying is a bit fake."

At this moment, Su Qi who just came over said: "Mrs. Liu has only been married for a month, so it must be because she is not familiar with her aunt and has no feelings for her, so she is crying so much."

Lan Yinger frowned slightly: "Maybe!"

At this time Jin Yiwei Ah Liu came to report, saying that the groom, the official Ren Changsheng, who came over in the morning, was arguing to leave the mansion.

Previously, when Ji Gang entered the house, the yard was sealed off, including the Ren family members, who were not allowed to go out.

The marriage between Ren Changsheng and Ji Xiang was originally made under Ji Gang's coercion and lure, but after Ren Changsheng met Ji Xiang and saw that she was a beauty, there was no difference.

However, when he came to pick up his relatives early in the morning, he only saw a dead body. Ren Changsheng expressed grief on the surface, but in his heart he felt unlucky and just wanted to leave Jifu as soon as possible.

This point, Lan Yinger saw it after seeing Ren Changsheng just now.

A Liudao: "Brother, the Ren family only arrived after the case happened, and it has nothing to do with them. Do you want to let them go?"

Now Ji Gang handed over all the affairs here to Wen Chen, and Wen Chen can also decide whether the Ren family members want to leave, but no one dares to touch Ji Gang's bad luck now.

But Wen Chen said: "Now that the people from the Ji Mansion have finished their questioning, it's the turn of the Ren family." After finishing speaking, he took Lan Ying'er to the courtyard where the Ren family stayed.

On the way, Wen Chen asked Lan Yinger: "Why don't you ask me why I want to interrogate the Ren family?"

Lan Ying'er said: "Although Ren Changsheng came here after the incident, he is the deceased's fiancé and has the most direct interest relationship. Naturally, he has to question him."

Wen Chen looked at her, although there was no expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

Lan Ying'er met Wen Chen's gaze, raised her eyebrows, then flattened her mouth, secretly complaining: Is it so difficult to praise me?

Arriving next door, Lan Ying'er saw Ren Changsheng's impetuous mood at a glance.

Ren Changsheng looks very talented. He is dressed in red and the makeup on his face makes his face even more handsome and graceful.

Lan Ying'er thought to herself, it's just that she has a bad temper, otherwise it would be pleasing to watch a few more times.

They are all young masters in the aristocratic circle of the capital. Ren Changsheng naturally recognized Wen Chen. When he saw Wen Chen, he took Wen Chen's arm and said, "Brother Wen, look at me coming to welcome my relatives very early in the morning. The bride died in the house, we don't mention anything else, but we came here after the bride died, her death has nothing to do with our Ren family, now we have stayed here for several hours, everyone Didn’t even have breakfast! Your people still won’t let us go back.”

Wen Chen frowned, first took his arm out of Ren Changsheng's hand, and then asked him coldly: "Mr. Ren, you are Ji Xiang's husband. She died unexpectedly, out of emotion and reason, why are you here?" You should stay for a few hours."

Ren Changsheng frowned and said, "What husband! We haven't married yet!"

Lan Ying'er couldn't stand it any longer, and snarled, "Even if you didn't get married, you are still Ji Xiang's fiancé. Logically speaking, you should be sad, but you just want to get rid of the relationship, don't you Don't you have any feelings for Ji Xiang at all?"

Ren Changsheng was a little at a loss, and hurriedly explained: "I only met Ji Xiang once, and the marriage is all up to my parents, so how can I have any relationship with her... Yes, yes, it is indeed wrong for me to be so anxious, but Ji Xiang His death really has nothing to do with our Ren family."

Wen Chen said: "It doesn't matter, it's not up to you. You are not allowed to leave now, but it's just that some things have not been asked clearly. After the question is finished, you will naturally let you go."

Hearing what Wen Chen said, Ren Changsheng felt that he couldn't make trouble anymore, so he nodded: "Okay, okay! Ask anything you want, and our Ren family will tell you the truth."

There were more than 40 people from Ren's family. Wen Chen arranged for his subordinates to interrogate them one by one. The one who asked the most was where Ren Changsheng was when the crime happened.

When Ren Changsheng heard this question, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood for three liters. He kept nagging in Wen Chen's ear: "I didn't kill Ji Xiang, really. I fell asleep when I was a child last night, and got up at five o'clock to change clothes and make up. , I was leaving the city at Maoshi, so we can know this by asking our servants, and we can also find out by checking at the city gate."

Wen Chen remained silent.

After more than half an hour, the Ren family members finished their investigation, and Wen Chen allowed the Ren family members to leave the Ji mansion.

But when Ren Changsheng was about to leave with the gifts brought by Ren's family and Ren's family, he saw Ji Gang coming out of the door, and he shouted loudly, ordering Ren Changsheng to stay alone, and the others to go back with their things.
