C7 In the Study Room

"Can I take a look first?" She was very curious. Was there really no wound on his body?

Ruan Ange subconsciously refused. How could a woman touch a corpse so casually? How unlucky was this? However, Ning Wanqing insisted, "Don't worry. I will never destroy the scene."

Qu Sifeng said, Why don't we let her give it a try? I can vouch for her. Ninth Prince, please agree."

"Never mind." He waved his hand in agreement. Other than handling the case, he didn't care about anything else. However, this woman was too eye-catching. He couldn't help but want to see what she could do.

She walked up to him and spread out her hands. "Aren't you going to give me anything?"

Ruan Ange was slightly stunned. He heard her say, "Didn't you say that you would not destroy the scene with your coat and gloves? If you didn't give me anything, why wouldn't I destroy it? "

It was only then that he understood. He ordered his subordinates to give her the things. She took the things and turned to enter the room. She was a hundred times more skilled in wearing gloves and a coat than Ruan Ange was.

After entering the inner room, she carefully examined the body. Since there were guards inside, she could not carefully examine it. Even lifting the collar to check was an extravagant hope. Where she could check, there was indeed no obvious wound.

She frowned. There were no obvious wounds. Could it be that she was poisoned? Generally speaking, after being poisoned to death, there would be more or less some signs of her body. However, it was as if Deputy General Xue, who had just died, had fallen asleep. What kind of poison would he be poisoned with?

After thinking about it, she walked around the room again.

The furnishing of the room was very simple. It was just a wooden bed, a square table, and a cabinet. She looked at the kettle on the table and went closer to pour out some water. Could it be that the water was poisonous? She put the small bowl close to the tip of her pen and sniffed it. There was no special smell. Could it be something on the bed?

She walked to the bed and saw that the bedding was neat and tidy, as if she had just tidied it up. Would a murderer deliberately fold his blanket after killing someone? She shook her head and had no idea what was going on. Moreover, if it was really folded by a murderer, why was Vice General Xue's clothes still scattered on the ground in such a messy manner?

After thinking about it again, she finally left the room and shook her head at the person waiting at the door.

Ruan Ange was a little disappointed. He thought that this woman would find something great when she went in. Qu Sifeng said, "How is it?"

"It is indeed a very strange case." She said in a low voice. There were no wounds on the surface of the body. The room was neat but his clothes were scattered on the floor. The room was a secret room.

She clapped her hands. "Ninth Prince! "I have an idea!"

Ruan Ange's body was weak to begin with. He was shocked by her reaction. "Speak."

She boldly proposed her idea. "Although Vice General Xue's body does not have any external injuries, no one knows if he has any internal injuries, right? I think it's better to... "

"Just what?" Seeing her stutter, Qu Sifeng could not help but ask.

"Carry out a autopsy." She tried her best to say these two words calmly. She did not want others to be afraid or think too much about it.

"Impossible!" Ruan Ange was the first to refuse. Let alone dissecting a corpse, he would be the first to refuse. "Besides, you're a woman. I can't let you handle the autopsy."

"Ninth Prince can't trust me. At worst, he can just call the coroner," she said confidently. "I can guarantee that the coroner will find something surprising after he comes in for a check-up."

Her confidence made Ruan Ange hesitate again. After a while, he ordered someone to bring the coroner in. He would check the results after the coroner entered the house.

"Killing people in the secret room, could it be that ghosts are causing trouble?" Qu Sifeng tilted his head and thought.

"There are no ghosts in the world." Ning Wanqing was an atheist. She believed that everything that could not be explained would be explained in the end.

"But no one can explain it clearly. What if it is really a vengeful soul seeking death?"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely terrifying and strange. Fortunately, the coroner appeared in time and broke the deadlock.

"Reporting to Ninth Prince, after my inspection, I found a red dot the size of a needle on the back of the deceased. After my inspection, I found that all the organs on the back of the deceased's body had turned purple and black, and..." The coroner wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ruan Ange waved his hand. Ruan Ange waved his hand. "But it's okay to say it."

"Also, I found this in the stomach of the deceased." A young man who looked like an apprentice walked up with an iron plate in his hand.

The coroner took the white cloth off the iron plate and presented it to Ruan Ange. "This is a woman's hairpin."

Everyone present was shocked. Only Ning Wanqing was thinking about how the hairpin fell into his stomach. Did she swallow it herself? But a normal person's throat would be stuck when eating fish bones. Only a fool would eat a hairpin, right?

Although there were experts in the martial arts world who could easily swallow swords, Vice General Xue was a vice general after all. How could he learn the tricks of the Lower Nine Paths to make himself swallow hairpins?

"Housekeeper Xue, do you recognize this hairpin?" A middle-aged man walked forward to identify the hairpin. After looking at it for a long time, he exclaimed.

"This, this is the hairpin of Lord Xue's younger sister!"

However, everyone knew that Xue Yong's sister had accidentally disappeared a year ago, and there was no news of her until now. Could it be that the person who killed her was actually Xue Yong's sister?

This caused everyone to recall the guesses of ghosts and devils causing trouble, and some of the timid people felt their hair stand on end.

"You're not mistaken?" Ruan Ange immediately stood up. If he didn't admit his mistake, this matter might have something to do with his sister.

He ordered the entire city to be locked down. He went from house to house to search for the place where Xue Yong's sister might be hiding. While he sent people to investigate the guests who came and went in and out of the restaurant that day, he personally restored the scene and simulated the situation.

The matter seemed to be about to be revealed. Everyone was busy with their own matters. Ning Wanqing, who had followed Qu Sifeng back to the manor, had become a person who had nothing to do.

That night, she could not bear it any longer and still wanted to ask Qu Sifeng for help.

"Hello, can I ask where Qu Sifeng is?"

She felt that her actions were very polite. Why was this little girl in front of her like she had seen a ghost?

"How dare this servant call you by your name? Slap your mouth!"

She quickly dodged. Those who do not know are not guilty. "Can you tell me where Lord Qu is now?"

"He should be in the room."

She quickly thanked him and asked for the location of the private room. When she arrived, the door to the private room was wide open. She walked in and asked carefully, "Is anyone here?"

However, there was no echo. As she walked deeper into the strange room, a figure that was white to the point of reflecting light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

"Ah -!"
