Chapter 400 Confession

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "You!"

Wu Yunjun, a businessman from the Zhou Kingdom, said with a straight face, "I'm not begging the heir, I'm discussing business with him. What does a kid like you know?"

"Heh."

Fei Lian sneered and said casually: "What the truth is is none of my business. I didn't enter Xia Yuanjia's room last night. The receptionist can testify.

You'd better tell the captain your defense."

"No!"

Sikong Ji's angry voice came from the corridor, "You are not allowed to do this!"

The singer Shi Yajing frowned slightly and said softly: "What's wrong?"

"It's probably an autopsy."

Li Ang said: "There are two main ways to measure the core temperature of a corpse. One is to measure the intestinal temperature.

The second is to detect the liver temperature after cutting open the abdomen of the corpse.

It seems that Zhou folk customs are not very accepting of the destruction of corpses?"

"Yeah."

Zhou Guo merchant Wu Yunjun nodded, "The death of the heir king is already very sad. If his body is destroyed again, how sad will the old prince be?"

"Then I'm afraid he can only choose between protecting the body and catching the murderer."

Li Ang said: "It is still not possible to prove whether King Si took any poison or hallucinogenic drugs before his death, causing him to commit suicide.

Therefore, forensic autopsy is almost a necessary option to understand the case and catch the murderer.

In addition, through dissection and analysis of gastrointestinal contents, inferring the elapsed time from the last meal to death is also one of the most accurate methods to estimate the specific time of death.

Su Xinghuo will definitely do this."

Just as Li Ang said, Su Xinghuo argued hard and persuaded Sikong Ji and Sikong Qiu, two retainers of the prince's palace, to agree to let him dissect Xia Yuanjia's body on the grounds of catching the murderer——

Under the supervision of another ship's physician, of course.

The captain called the nian teacher and asked him to gently lift Xia Yuanjia's body and take it to the medical cabin on the ship.

He then interrogated everyone in Rooms 7 to 14, and obtained a confession about everyone's specific experiences that day.

[Confessions of Feilian and Yanfu: Yesterday morning, we landed on the island with other passengers and enjoyed the entertainment activities on the island. Diving, eating delicious food, etc. There are many people on the island who can testify. It was probably at Youchu (5 p.m.)

At that time, a bonfire party with singing and dancing was about to be held on the island. I was not interested in that, so I returned to the Sea Charm with Yanfu and drank on the deck.

By the way, I know about the time through the Haotian ringtone on the island.

The Academy is so powerful that it can actually teach the indigenous people to believe in Haotian.

Anyway, at about a quarter of an hour in the morning (6:15 pm), I saw the Zhou businessman in Room 10, Wu Yunjun, also returning from the island.

He found Xia Yuanjia, who was watching the island from a distance with a telescope on the deck, and talked to him about something.

Because the distance was too far, I couldn't hear the specific content of their conversation. I only saw Wu Yunjun dejected. And Xia Yuanjia left the deck - probably returning to his own room.

Yan Fu and I stayed on the deck until early Xu (7 p.m.), then returned to our room and stayed there for about two-quarters of an hour.

(7:30 pm) I was bored, so I went to the corridor to read.

You asked me why I was watching in the corridor? Well, do you know that there is a kind of Wolfthorn in Jingguo? When you chew this thing, you will feel like the whole person is smoky and hot.

Some people in the Jing Kingdom, including me, would use wolfberry grass as a snack for chewing. However, the smell after chewing this stuff is quite pungent. I didn’t want the room to be filled with the smell, so I went to the corridor to eat it while reading magazines from the Yu Kingdom.
The receptionist at the end of the aisle can attest to this.

A quarter of an hour later, I saw Wu Yunjun coming to the corridor on this floor and going straight to Xia Yuanjia's room No. 9. The two people said something in the room.

Another quarter of an hour later, Wu Yunjun left Room 9 and returned to his room. Shi Yajing, who was in Room 12, walked into Room 9 and stayed there until a little after Xu Zheng (8:10 p.m.), and then

Also returned to her own room.

Oh, by the way, there were still traces of crying on her face when she left.

Although I was a little curious, I didn’t bother to ask.

After reading this magazine and chewing the wolfberry, I went back to my room and stayed with Yanfu until the next morning.]

[Wu Yunjun’s confession: Yesterday morning, I landed on the island with other passengers, boarded the Sea Charm at a quarter of an hour, and found the King Si on the deck.

Captain, you should know that I am a big businessman from Zhao County of Zhou State. More than half a month ago, I heard that the heir king was likely to inherit the title of prince and be granted the title of Zhao County, so I booked this ticket in advance and wanted to go with him.

The successor king drew closer and suggested that he introduce the railway from Yu State.

Of course I know that Yu State’s spiritual motorcycle is not for sale, but we in Zhou State already know the general principle. As long as we invest enough manpower and material resources, we can one day imitate it.

Even if it is impossible to imitate it at this stage, you can still build a track railway first, use horse-drawn horses, and use monster beasts to pull the carriages - even this will be more efficient than the previous transportation methods.

As a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, I was really eager to build a railway in Zhao County, so I went to approach King Si.

But the prince was not interested. He told me personally that he might not inherit the title when he returned to the prince's palace. If I wanted to discuss business, I would go to the butler at the prince's palace.

I was very disappointed at the time, and returned to my cabin just before the beginning of Xu (6:55 p.m.).

But the more I thought about it, the more reluctant I became. At two-quarters of an hour on the first day of Xu (7:30 p.m.), I rummaged through the box and found a bottle of Zhou Dynasty’s famous wine [Drunk Red Dust] that had been collected for twenty years.

I knew that the heir loved wine, so I went to Room 9 and gave him this bottle of wine.

He was very happy when he saw the wine and said that he would seriously consider it. Even if he did not inherit the title of prince in the future, he would write to the Zhou Dynasty court and suggest building a railway imitating the Yu Kingdom.

I was very happy to get the promise. When I was close to Xu Zheng, I left Room 9 and returned to my own cabin. I stayed in the room all night.]

[Shi Yajing’s confession: Do I also want to explain my schedule? Well, I rested on the island like everyone else during the day yesterday.

At the beginning of Xu (7 o'clock in the evening), a crew member came to inform that there might be strong winds at night.

So I boarded the boat with the others.

As for me going to find King Si... As you all know, he and I have always been good friends.

After he made the decision to return to the Zhou Kingdom, he invited me to go back with him - my parents were small, run-down nobles in the Zhou Kingdom. A few years ago they wanted me to get married, but I refused and fled to Haimei.

On the number.

King Si promised to provide me with protection. Whether I want to continue to be a singer in Zhou Kingdom or get back my share of the family property, he will help. But I really don’t want to go back.

Last night at Xu Zheng time, I went to see King Si because of this matter - I drank half a bottle of [Drunken Hongchen] wine with him.

He envied my freedom and ease, and wished me to find my own peace and happiness on the ship.

He and I were both sad about parting.

After Xuzheng time (8:10 p.m.), I left Room 9 and returned to my cabin to wash up and sleep.]
