188 The murderer, this granddaughter's heart is actually very soft
Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan changed their clothes and came out. The doctor also came and checked out what medicine Mu Sen drank before he died...
Musen had suffered a stroke and occasionally had mild headaches. He had been taking medicine to calm his mind and relieve the headaches for the past few days.
But for some reason, the last medicine he drank had several medicinal ingredients added to it. Not only did it not have a calming effect, it was actually very irritating...
"It is certain that it was homicide." With this evidence, it is enough to prove that Mu Sen was killed.
"Where is the murderer?" Qin Jiyan asked Gu Qiancheng. He knew that Gu Qiancheng was not only a coward who could do autopsies, but Gu Qiancheng knew much more.
And this is also the reason why Qin Jiyan is unwilling to use other tools. Gu Qiancheng is much easier to use than ordinary tools, and he has become comfortable with it.
"Hasn't His Highness already guessed it?" Knowing Mu Sen's condition, who else could manipulate Mu Sen's medicine besides the innkeeper and waiter?
Qin Jiyan had indeed guessed it, which not only did not prevent him from asking Qian Cheng: "Where's the motive?" Without a reason, the innkeeper would not risk killing someone.
"Normal killing is nothing more than emotional injury, vendetta, and then profit." Gu Qiancheng pointed to the side, the sealed evidence: "Musen is a businessman, traveling between Daqin and Xihu, selling goods from the two places.
Goods. If he is going back to Xihu, that means he has sold the goods, but where is the money?"
Gu Qiancheng took out Musen's wallet and poured the broken silver and banknotes inside on the table: "A merchant who can afford to live in a Tianzi house, a person who can sell goods in the capital, even if he is just a merchant,
It is impossible for a merchant to only have one hundred taels of silver."
Gu Qiancheng pinched the banknote, sneered, and threw it back: "The murderer was clever but his cleverness misled him. A businessman with only one hundred taels of silver? Are you kidding me?"
"Since we have deduced it before, why didn't we say it earlier?" There is enough evidence, and they don't need to do an autopsy at all.
"It's useless to say it earlier." Gu Qiancheng shook his head: "Until it is determined whether the deceased committed suicide, these are not evidence. He only had one hundred silver coins on him. It is also possible that the deceased lent the money to others before his death, or did not receive it.
Once the payment is received, only when it is confirmed that the death was a homicide can these become supporting evidence."
"You think too much." Qin Jiyan admitted that what Gu Qiancheng said made sense...
Gu Qiancheng didn't think so: "We should think more about it. We can't let the murderer go, but we can't unjustly accuse good people. Corpses can't lie. The deceased told us his injustice, so we must do our best.
, to find out the real culprit who killed him, instead of just unjustly accusing good people in order to solve the case."
Gu Qiancheng, who talked eloquently, had a different kind of charm. Qin Jiyan found that Gu Qiancheng like this was a hundred times more dazzling than usual, but that was all...
Qin Jiyan withdrew his eyes and said helplessly: "You always have a reason."
There was a hint of unspeakable intimacy in these words, but neither Gu Qiancheng nor Qin Jiyan found anything wrong.
"It's getting late, I will send you back." It was already midnight. Although the people from Liumen went to arrest the murderer, they would have to interrogate him tomorrow.
"No need, His Highness can just send someone to take me back." Gu Qiancheng could tell that the old emperor didn't like her getting too close to Qin Jiyan, so...
It would be better for her to keep a distance from Qin Jiyan.
"Don't you need to give the Gu family a reason to come out of the palace?" Qin Jiyan stood up and looked at Gu Qiancheng condescendingly, not allowing Gu Qiancheng to say no...
Gu Qiancheng faced off with Qin Jiyan for a moment, and finally nodded: "Please, Your Highness."
So frustrating!
"No trouble." Qin Jiyan raised the corners of his lips and smiled in his eyes...
He just liked watching Gu Qiancheng feel aggrieved.
Qin Jiyan sent Gu Qiancheng to the Gu family and left without alerting anyone. He just revealed his identity secretly to let the Gu family know.
As Qin Jiyan said, although it was midnight, the Gu family was all waiting for Gu Qiancheng. As soon as Gu Qiancheng came back, he was taken to the old man's yard: "Did His Highness King Qin send you back?"
"Yes." The old man asked knowingly.
"Have you been with His Highness Prince Qin since you left the palace?" As soon as Gu Qiancheng left the palace, the fifth prince sent a letter to the old man. The fifth prince hoped that the old man would persuade Gu Qiancheng to enter the palace to take care of Concubine Gu.
"Yeah." Gu Qiancheng continued to nod, not meaning to say more.
The old man sighed secretly. Knowing that Gu Qiancheng still had a grudge in his heart, the old man did not dare to push too hard, so he had to change the subject and ask about things in the palace: "How is your concubine?"
"Grandpa, you already knew this, why do you need to ask me again?" Gu Qiancheng looked helpless and faintly tired.
After a busy day outside, she really didn't want to have to play around with things when she got home. She was too tired.
"Ahem..." The old man coughed awkwardly: "Can you cure my mother's illness?"
"I can save my wife's life, but I'm not sure about anything else." Gu Qiancheng did not hide this. In order to make the old man believe that she was not hiding anything, Gu Qiancheng kept looking at the old man when she spoke.
"Grandpa, my wife was tricked this time. It's lucky that her life was not harmed." Gu Qiancheng knew that the old man had someone in the palace, and he would never hide the affairs in the palace.
"Mother, she... was careless this time." The old man sighed, with a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
Obviously, the old man knew more than Gu Qiancheng, but he didn't know how to tell, and Gu Qiancheng had no intention of asking.
Even if the old man didn't tell her, she could guess...
Could it be that Concubine Gu wanted to take the opportunity to harm her, but ended up harming others and herself.
Gu Qiancheng was not interested in caring about Concubine Gu. Seeing that the old man did not speak, he stood up and said, "Grandpa, if there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first. I have been busy for a long day and I am a little tired."
"Wait a minute." The old man quickly stopped Gu Qiancheng, but he opened his mouth, but nothing came out for a long time...
Gu Qiancheng sighed: "Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Gu Qiancheng knew without thinking what the old man was going to say, and she would no longer be disappointed, let alone sad.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, the old man said: "Qiancheng, can you come into the palace to take care of the empress?"
"Grandpa, that's the palace, not the Gu family." It's not a place I can go to whenever I want.
"If you are willing, grandpa can go to the palace to ask the emperor." The old man didn't want to force Gu Qiancheng, but...
The Gu family still needs the help of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine cannot fail.
Gu Qiancheng did not answer directly, but said: "As long as the emperor gives the order, I will definitely enter the palace."
Is it worth using up the friendship with the emperor again and again for Concubine Gu?
Gu Qiancheng wanted to ask, but seeing the old man's frown and gloomy eyes, he still didn't ask in the end...
Sighing slightly, Gu Qiancheng lowered his tone and said softly: "Grandpa, it's getting late, you should go to bed early. The imperial concubine is just injured, she will be fine, don't worry."
This was Gu Qiancheng's guarantee. The old man was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly, and said with a choked voice: "Okay, okay, grandpa will go to rest now, and you should also rest early."
For some reason, the old man felt his nose was sore...
This granddaughter’s heart is actually very soft!
