Lin Mingfu knew Shen Chi's temper. This man was upright and not afraid of powerful people. Looking at the whole court, he was the only one who dared to risk offending him, the Prime Minister of the country.
He snorted coldly and said in a majestic voice: "It is said that the dead are the most important. Today Master Shen used the law as an excuse. It is clear that he did not take the truth seriously. Aren't you afraid that the truth will impeach you?"
Chen Chi, however, had no scruples, and said in a deep voice: "If I do something wrong today, I can report it to Your Majesty, and I will have no complaints.
Please also ask the prime minister to order the coffin to be opened so that the lower officials can examine the cause of the second lady’s death.”
Lin Mingfu looked stunned and helpless. He glanced at Shen Chi and warned: "The truth about today's events has been recorded!"
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and said to the servants: "Open the coffin!"
The guards opened the coffin, and Shen Chi walked over to check it out. There were no other wounds on Lin Qingshuang's body, only conspicuous strangulation marks on her neck.
Shen Chi pulled Lin Qingshuang's collar, looked at it carefully, then turned back to Lin Mingfu and said: "Second Miss, she cannot be buried. She did not commit suicide, but was harmed by someone!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Lin Mingfu reacted and hurried over and asked: "What did you say? My daughter didn't commit suicide?"
Shen Chi glanced at him and couldn't help but murmur in his heart that he was indeed an old fox. If Xiao Chengyi hadn't already investigated clearly, he might have been deceived by him.
He said: "There are two marks on Miss Lin Er's neck. She was obviously strangled and then disguised as a suicide!"
Lin Mingfu's eyes widened and he stumbled: "How could this be? Who is it? Who killed my daughter?"
After a pause, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said sadly: "Madam, madam, why are you so cruel?"
Shen Chi: "..."
He looked at Lin Mingfu and said, "The prime minister suspects that Mrs. Lin did it?"
Lin Mingfu said: "My wife is a proud and arrogant person, and she can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. What happened to Shuang'er.
She might think that she has been ruined, so she would do such a thing in a moment of confusion, otherwise she would not be delirious and crazy!"
He actually found an excellent reason for Gao Yulan's madness.
Shen Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "You can't make any rash assertions without proof or evidence. It's better to invite the madam out and let the official ask a few questions."
"this......"
Lin Mingfu looked a little embarrassed: "My wife has gone crazy. Even if you ask, you won't be able to find out anything."
Shen Chi said: "It doesn't matter, Xianguan's sister-in-law is a miracle doctor. I just take my wife back and let her diagnose and treat her. If my wife is really a murderer, I can't just not punish her because of her madness!"
Lin Mingfu had no words to retort and could only say to the servant: "Go and bring the lady over."
Not long after, Gao Yulan was brought over. Mrs. Xiangguo, who used to be so dazzling in the past, now had her clothes and hairpins scattered, her whole body was in a state of confusion, and she was mumbling to herself.
Seeing her like this, Shen Chi couldn't help but frowned and said: "Madam, your daughter Lin Qingshuang did not commit suicide. She was murdered. The Prime Minister said that you killed Lin Qingshuang, but is it true?"
Hearing this, Gao Yulan suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Chi: "What did you say? Shuang'er didn't commit suicide?"
Shen Chi narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, Mrs. Lin was not really crazy. He said: "There are two strangulation marks on her neck. She was obviously strangled and pretended to commit suicide."
Gao Yulan was shocked. She suddenly looked back at Lin Mingfu and gritted her teeth and said, "It was you, you killed my Shuang'er!"
