Only after Wan Qishan inspected the middle of the coffin lid, the different reverberations of the knocking sound made everyone hear something strange.

Xiao Lintian asked Zhao Xuan to call the guards in, and everyone worked together to turn over the coffin lid. Wan Qishan found a small hole in the place where he had just knocked. He knocked hard from the inside, and the wood blocking the hole fell out.

Come down.

The hole is neither big nor small, more than enough for a mouse.

The opening is too small, cone-shaped, and the color of the wood is exactly the same as the surroundings. No one can notice that there is an extra hole in the heavy coffin lid without looking carefully.

"How could someone be so vicious? The Empress Dowager passed away and they didn't even spare her body!"

Prince Cheng roared angrily.

"Mother, even if it is proven that the rats were put in to damage the body of the Queen Mother! But this does not explain that the Queen Mother was not poisoned to death!"

Pan Yushi continued to hold on unyieldingly.

Ling Yu smiled mockingly at him: "I first proved that the mouse was deliberately put in, and then I will tell you the cause of the mouse's death!"

Ling Yu walked to the pile of silk taken out from the coffin, picked up a piece and sneered.

First domain name

"This silk has been dyed with rat incense, which is a sap extracted from a shrub. Its fragrance is fatally attractive to rats!"

"Don't you think it's strange to see these bites on the silk? How can mice chew silk?"

Ling Yu had previously performed a blood analysis on the blood of mice, but the system detected unknown toxins.

Ling Yu had been thinking about some unknown toxin that could make mice so crazy. She thought of the scent on silk.

At first, Ling Yu ignored the scent, thinking that the nuns had dyed it with spices when they were embalming the Empress Dowager.

But she observed carefully and found that the shrouds on the Empress Dowager's body also had the same fragrance. These fragrances were definitely not the spices commonly used in the palace.

Thinking along this line of thinking, Ling Yu thought of modern poisonous drugs, which were mixed with the chemical spice methyltetramine, which was extracted from shrubs.

Rats cannot resist its fragrance and will become paralyzed in their limbs and bleed to death after eating it.

When he saw that Wanqishan fed the blood of dead rats, causing the death of the rats behind him, the death conditions confirmed Ling Yu's guess.

The reason why the space system detects unknown toxins is not because the system is incompetent.

Instead, the original poisonous rat scent was a shrub in the Amazon River area, and the system only entered common chemical terms.

"If you don't believe me, you can soak these silks in water and feed them to mice to see if they will die!"

Ling Yu gave Wan Qishan some pieces of silk that had been badly torn by mice.

Wan Qishan went to verify it. Lord Tie and Prince Cheng completely believed Ling Yu's words and immediately continued investigating the case in the direction she suggested.

This time we have clues, and we only need to prove them one by one to find out.

Those who can tamper with coffins and silk are key targets of investigation.

Several adults were sent by Prince Cheng to examine them one by one.

Even King Ye, King Rui, and Prince Cheng did not leave them idle and asked them to participate in the investigation.

Ling Yu asked Lingxuan to go to Kunning Palace to get cosmetics and other tools to repair the face of the Empress Dowager.

She carefully and meticulously tried her best to perform beauty restoration on the Empress Dowager.

After filling in the missing parts of the Empress Dowager's face and applying powder, if you hadn't looked closely, you would have seen that the Empress Dowager still looks the same as before.

During this process, Ling Yu also secretly took the Queen Mother's blood and sent it into space for examination.

When changing the shroud of the Empress Dowager, Ling Yu also observed her body carefully and carefully.

The hard work paid off, Ling Yu finally found a tiny red dot on the back of the Empress Dowager near her heart...
