The emperor didn't have the patience to listen to this. He just wanted to know how the third child died and who killed him?
"Now that we know that he was drugged, who did it? This must be found out as soon as possible."
Su Yizhao immediately called the person who first discovered the third prince's body, who was the third prince's concubine.
"At that time, I heard that His Highness was back, so I came to see His Highness."
Only then did Su Yizhao realize that this was the inner courtyard. Logically speaking, after the morning court, he would either go to the Yamen or the outer study to discuss matters. How could he come to the inner courtyard?
"Why did you come to see His Highness the Third Prince?"
Seeing the woman, who was only twenty-eight years old, sobbing, the image of a weak little white flower emerged.
"I am sent here by Your Highness."
"Can anyone testify?" Su Yizhao asked.
"This? It can only be Longge, the girl in my room. She came here watching me come, but she didn't meet anyone along the way. Oh! By the way, I only met Nanny Zhang in the prince's room.
Mom, when she saw it was me, she scolded me a few words."
This woman had two witnesses, and Su Yizhao had them brought immediately for questioning.
After asking other servants in the house, they found out that the house where this concubine lives is a cup of tea's walk away. Within this time, if you want to walk to this house and kill someone, it is indeed not enough time.
After Su Yizhao and other guards interrogated the other two people, they found that there was no discrepancy with what the woman said.
Letting the woman go back for now, Su Yizhao then entered the third prince's house again.
This was the third prince's bedroom, but Su Yizhao didn't see anything related to women in it.
The inner room is used for washing. There is a large pool paved with white granite. Other than that, there are only stools and hangers for placing clothes.
There was a dressing table outside. Su Yizhao opened the dressing table and found only things used by men.
A jade comb, the others are a purse, a sachet and a hair crown.
The only thing that belongs to women is a set of agate inlaid headbands placed on the dressing table.
Thinking of what the concubine said, Su Yizhao had an idea.
Carefully search for traces inside, not missing every inch.
After taking a look at the height of the beam, it seemed that ordinary women would not be able to put people up there, because the third prince was a bit tall, but it was not impossible with the help of tools.
The reason why Wu Zuo said that the third prince committed suicide was because there was a round stool under his body with the third prince's footprints on it.
Su Yizhao looked carefully and found that the footprints were there and very clear. But if they were too clear, that would be wrong.
To commit suicide by hanging a beam is to kick off the stool at the end. In the process of kicking the stool, there will definitely be traces left. The footprints on it will not be complete, and there will be vague marks on the edges. The marks on this round stool do not match.
But if the murderer puts it up, he must use tools.
"If you carry someone standing on a stool and put him on it, it will take a lot of effort, and the unconscious person will not recognize his mercy."
At this time Kang Shiwen also came in, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Even for me, it would be very difficult for me to hang up an unconscious person."
"What if we hang it up with a knot?"
Su Yizhao pointed to a spot on the bed rail of the bed, "Look! There are signs of wear and tear here."
Kang Shiwen leaned over to take a look, and then listened to Su Yizhao begin the evolution process.
"Do you think the way the rope is knotted is a bit weird?"
Kang Shiwen looked up at the rope still hanging on the beam and nodded.
"It's really weird. Generally, when people hang a beam, they should pass a rope through the beam, and then tie a knot underneath and stick your head in. But this knot is very strange. It is passed through the beam, and a small thing is tied to one end that can be used to stick your head in.
The other end was tied to the loop with a new knot."
Although it felt strange, it was not surprising that Kang Shiwen thought that this was the murderer's method.
"Hold the person and sit on the ground, tie a rope loop and put the head in. Then break the rope and pass it through the beam, and tie the other end to the bed bar to prevent it from sliding down. Then pull it up hard, which should save you effort.
Young Master. Finally, he untied the rope on this side of the bed rail and tied it to the rope at the other end, creating the illusion of committing suicide."
What Su Yizhao is talking about is the principle of leverage, and even people with weak strength can do it.
"In this case, the women in this mansion should not be ruled out, and those maids are also suspected." Kang Shiwen thought for a while, and Su Yizhao's inference was established.
"As soon as the body of the third prince was discovered, the head of the palace immediately asked the guards to seal off the prince's palace. No one was allowed to enter or leave. He only asked the concierge to go to the Yamen to report to the officials. During this period, not even a fly could fly out." Kang Shiwen murmured.
road.
Su Yizhao felt that Chang Shi was a knowledgeable person and handled the matter well.
"Did anyone leave the house half an hour before the discovery?" Su Yizhao was afraid that the murderer had already escaped.
"After asking the concierge, only two stewards came out. One is from the Zhuangzi and came to the house to report the output of the Zhuangzi. The other is a buyer for the female family members in the backyard. She is a mother-in-law and went to buy some silk threads for the sewing room.
.Because these two people had greeted the concierge, the concierge was very impressed."
Su Yizhao nodded, "I wonder if Jingzhao Mansion has asked anyone about these two people."
"After asking, we can rule out the suspicion and there is nothing unusual."
Kang Shiwen just took advantage of Su Yizhao's autopsy to do this.
Su Yizhao calculated the angle to see where the murderer would stand to hang the person up.
After retreating to the bedside, Su Yizhao looked around.
She lay on the ground and looked under the bed, and finally she noticed something unusual.
He reached out and took the little thing in his hand and looked at it. Su Yizhao held it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and finally said to Kang Shiwen: "Capture that concubine!"
When Kang Shiwen heard Su Yizhao's words, he opened the door and rushed out without saying a word.
"Take down the concubine Ju Shi!" he ordered, and everyone ran towards the house where Ju Shi was.
Originally, Ju was resting in a nearby room. Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly opened. When everyone saw it, they immediately did not dare to act rashly.
"I'll see who dares to move, otherwise I will kill her."
Su Yizhao sensed something was wrong, so she took out a sleeve arrow in the space and tied it to her wrist. Then she walked out of the house and saw Ju family kidnapping the third prince's concubine.
A long sword was placed on the neck of the third prince's concubine. Ju's eyes changed from the weak one just now, and his eyes became very cold and stern.
She walked forward while holding the third prince's concubine, and everyone could only retreat.
"Get me a horse and let me go."
Su Yizhao hid behind the crowd, ready to wait for the opportunity.
This woman was obviously good at martial arts, but her accuracy was not very good. If she did not seriously injure the Ju clan, but would injure the third prince and his concubine, or even die, that would be a serious matter.
Just when Su Yizhao hesitated, the Ju family sneered, and then raised his chin in Su Yizhao's direction.
"Let the Dali Temple Prime Minister stand in front and leave his tooth plaque."
Su Yizhao was a little speechless. Why did this woman want her dental plaque? How good was it in taking Kang's explanation?
He is of high grade and no one dares to stop him wherever he goes.
