"Female corpse?"

The young eunuch was waiting anxiously at the gate of the palace. Something must have happened in an emergency. Xu Qi'an's only encounter with him was the case of Concubine Fu. So the female corpse must be related to the case of Concubine Fu.

Xu Qi'an squinted and thought: "Is it the missing palace maid in the Fu Fei case?"

The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, and he was sincerely convinced: "Your Excellency is really a master of clever calculations. I am so impressed by this servant."

This sentence was both a compliment and a heartfelt one. After two consecutive days of supervision, the young father-in-law discovered that Xu Qi'an was a famous arrester who seemed exaggerated on the outside but was smarter than ordinary people.

This is not a magical calculation, this is a very simple reasoning...Xu Qi'an nodded and said: "Take me to see the corpse."

The young eunuch was busy leading the way.

"In which well was the body found?"

"The Crab Court's Backyard."

"Crab Court?"

Xu Qian'an said what a bad name.

"The Crab Pavilion is where the palace ladies live." the young eunuch replied.

The palace maids are also divided into three, six or nine grades. The palace ladies with high status are called female officials, and they even have grades and titles, such as Jieyu, beauty, talented person, royal girl, picky girl, etc.

This kind of palace maids are expected to be favored by the emperor and become famous instantly. Of course, during the reign of Emperor Yuan Jing, none of them could even think of getting ahead.

The next best thing is the maids who serve the concubines.

The lowest level is the handyman who lives in a large dormitory.

Crab Pavilion is a dormitory for palace ladies.

As he walked and talked, he soon came to the morgue in the palace, in a secluded small courtyard in the south. This was used to store the corpses of people who had been executed, died of illness, or died in accidents in the palace.

Lying on the simple bed, a slightly bloated corpse was soaked in water.

"Go and get the knife. I want to dissect the body." Xu Qian ordered.

He was a little bit excited about hunting. When he was working in a government office in his previous life, he was often sent to observe forensic autopsies and act as an assistant. He accumulated a lot of professional knowledge and experience.

From the initial panic and vomiting to the gradual acceptance, and then the fight without changing his expression, Xu Qian vaguely discovered that he liked dissection.

After coming to this world, I encountered many cases, but there were not many opportunities to dissect.

"Concubine Fu is the old emperor's woman. I can't touch her. I can always disembowel this little palace maid... It would be nice if she could be fresher."

While thinking about it, he untied the palace maid's clothes.

"Dog slave, dog slave, why didn't you send someone to notify me when you entered the palace..."

Princess Lin'an's cheerful voice came from outside, and then, a red shadow flew and stopped at the door.

"What are you doing?"

Lin'an looked at Xu Qi'an holding the bellyband of the female corpse in his hand, and the bright smile on his face suddenly solidified.

Behind him, Huaiqing, who was in a fluttering white dress, followed him across the threshold, glanced at Xu Qian, and then his eyes fell on his bellyband.

It's a bit embarrassing...Xu Qi'an said without changing his expression: "Check the corpse and plan to do an autopsy."

"Don't touch such disgusting things."

Dazai stamped her feet repeatedly, glanced at the naked upper body of the female corpse, and immediately retracted her gaze.

In this regard, Princess Huaiqing took the same view and gave a suggestion: "Why not let Zuo do it?"

Because I like to do this... Xu Qi'an shook his head seriously and explained seriously: "Your Highnesses, you know that you have to do your humble work personally and be meticulous. If you can do it yourself, you won't do it to others. In the eyes of others, this

It is a good quality to be diligent and conscientious, but from the perspective of a humble job, it is really an ordinary thing that is not worth mentioning."

Piping admired Xu Qi'an's work attitude. Huaiqing had an expressionless face, as if he didn't believe his lies.

"Your Highnesses, please go back and drink tea first. Please wait a moment. Don't stay here." Xu Qian wanted to drive them away.

After Huaiqing heard this, he didn't leave, but walked to the female corpse with a lot of steps.

"The body was recovered last night. After identifying Huang Xiaorou, he was taken away by Eunuch Chang," Huaiqing said:

"I want to stay and take a look. Maybe there will be clues in the corpse."

Huaiqing seemed to be very interested in activities that used his brain, such as playing chess, compiling history, and now solving crimes... Xu Qian turned his head and silently looked at the eldest princess's clear and beautiful eyes.

Huaiqing's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at him. His voice had the texture of the impact of ice cubes and was extremely pleasant: "Huh?"

A simple "um" means: Little brother, do you have any opinions?

Xu Qi'an withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the eldest princess's flawless face. He turned to Jiang Jing and said, "Where is the Second Highness?"

Caicai glanced at Huaiqing and said hesitantly, "Whatever, I'll stay too."

"OK!"

Xu Qian happily stripped the female body naked.

The framed face turned red, then turned pale, and he hid his face and walked away.

"Your Highness, don't you want to stay and watch?" Xu Qian shouted.

Xia Dian covered her face and moaned as softly as a mosquito: "Let's go, let's go..."

Huaiqing glanced at the female corpse. Although it was well hidden, Xu Qi'an could still see the embarrassment in her eyes as clear as a cold pool.

This kind of embarrassment is like when Xu Qian used to watch TV with his parents, and it happened to show the hero and heroine in bed.

It has a perfect appearance and top-level configuration, and the core is very powerful, but the mileage is almost zero...Xu Qian made an evaluation in his heart.

If Huaiqing is compared to a top-notch sports car, it has just left the factory.

So the frame is just a model car. The appearance is incredible, but the core...it's hard to describe in a word.

But for men, it is probably a coquettish, coquettish, coquettish, and not too smart woman like Chi Chi who is more popular.

"What's this?"

Huaiqing found a piece of dull yellow silk from the underwear of the palace maid Huang Xiaorou, with a bright red lotus embroidered on it and a line of small words:

Spring of the thirty-first year of Yuanjing.

"She kept it close to her body before she died, which shows that it was extremely important to her."

Huaiqing looked at Xu Qian, as if seeking confirmation, and said, "What do you think, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Qian said "hmm".

The corners of Huaiqing's mouth curled up slightly.

"Your Highness is so smart, why don't you take a look at this female corpse? What can you see?"

Huaiqing couldn't help but glance at him. Xu Qi'an looked like he was going to take a test on her. He couldn't help but tighten the corners of his mouth, feeling unwilling to admit defeat.

"Based on the whiteness and swelling of the body, she did not fall into the well after the incident." Huaiqing made a judgment.

"Within two days." Xu Qian gave a more precise reply.

"There were no obvious external injuries on her body, so she probably drowned or was knocked unconscious." After saying that, the elegant and refined eldest princess subconsciously looked at Xu Qian.

Seeing that he had no expression on his face and did not reply, Her Royal Highness felt a little unhappy. When she lowered her head, she slightly curled her lips.

"Is there any more?" Xu Qian asked.

Huaiqing thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"You are missing the most important step. Usually when examining a female corpse, even if there are obvious signs of death, never forget to check..."

Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows at Huaiqing and showed a hehehe smile.

Huaiqing was stunned for a moment, and then saw Xu Qi'an's eyes falling on the forbidden place. He was as smart as her, and he immediately understood.

Uh-huh.....

Her fair face immediately turned red. The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth: "Xu Ningyan, how dare you tease me!"

Xu Qi'an admitted his mistake and said sincerely: "I have no intention of offending you because of my humble position. Please forgive me, princess."

Huaiqing turned sideways and expressed that he did not accept his apology and was very angry.

Teasing the proud and aloof princess is much more fulfilling than teasing Lin'an... Huaiqing's style when he is angry is so different... Xu Qi'an coughed and said:

"She drowned, yes, but she didn't drown in a well. She was held down in the water and suffocated to death."

"How can you see it?" Huaiqing didn't believe it, turned his head and asked.

Well, as long as academic issues are discussed, she will temporarily stop being angry...Female academics also have their weaknesses...Xu Qi'an silently wrote it down, and explained calmly:

"You see, her face is purple-red. Normally, a drowned person will be pale and swollen. Only when someone is pressed in the water with the head down, and the blood flows back to the head when she dies, will the face become congested."

Huaiqing frowned, thinking.

"One more thing," Xu Qian grabbed the wrist of the female corpse, "look at her hands, clenched into fists, which is consistent with the characteristics of drowning. But look carefully, there is no sand or moss between her fingernails."

Huaiqing took a closer look and found that the gaps between his nails were indeed clean.

"Does this mean she drowned, but not in a well?" she asked.
