Wei Chengwu was clearly more nervous than the other three, he anxiously went up to take a look. However, after searching for a long time, he still could not find any other wounds. He summoned up his courage and opened Su Geying's mouth. Inside, it was a mess of flesh and blood.
The tongue had been bitten off from the base, and there were obvious bite marks on it.
”So be it.” Yuwen Fei looked at it for a moment, then turned and left.
The room reeked of blood from the stench of death.
Huai Jin picked up the kernels, frowned her eyebrows in disgust, and mournfully said: ”The Emperor had originally sent us to investigate the Qishan white jade, but we did not find any clues regarding the Qishan white jade. Instead, we found out the real cause of death for Big Sister Ping Yang.”
Wei Chengwu did not reply. In his heart, he was still thinking about the omissions in Yuwen Fei's words, such as how he found the right money, and why Su Geying destroyed her own child.
Huai Jin sized him up, took a step back from the room, and put away the kernels in his hands. After taking a deep breath, she continued: ”Who would have thought that Big Sister Ping Yang was actually poisoned by someone! When Esteemed Empress Dowager finds out, it means that she will be in deep pain again. ”
Hearing that, Wei Chengwu also sighed, everyone knew that the Esteemed Empress Dowager treated her daughter with all sorts of favors, and that the white-haired man was already grieving over giving her to the black-haired man. If he knew that his own daughter was poisoned to death by someone else, he would probably want to torture her to death.
He looked at Su Geying's body again. Now that he felt lucky about this man, biting her tongue to commit suicide was still better than being tortured by the empress dowager's hands.
The girl seemed to have predicted his death. She tidied him up so well, she must have thought that he could die in a decent way.
With that thought in mind, he looked at the person on the bed once more and sighed, ”He really is a beauty.”
Huai Jin also sighed: ”When the palace finds out about this, Esteemed Empress Dowager will definitely summon me to the palace to inquire about it, and I will have to trouble Captain Wei to deliver Su Geying's corpse to marble temple.”
”This is what this official should do.” Wei Chengwu anxiously regained his senses and replied softly.
He didn't know if he was seeing things, but he felt that the body on the bed seemed to be moving when he came to his senses. When he looked again, there was no movement.
”Captain Wei!”
Huai Jin called out to him again.
Wei Chengwu focused and raised his head to look at her.
”Captain Wei, do you have any other doubts?”
The matter of the case was not his to begin with, and just now, he had boldly asked about it because Yuwen Fei had indicated for him to do so. Now that Huai Jin had directly asked him, it was as if she treated him as someone who was investigating a case.
Wei Chengwu immediately said: ”This official does not have any doubts.”
The corner of Huai Jin's eyes swept towards Yuwen Fei who was right at the entrance of the courtyard, and said to him: ”After this matter, you must definitely hand it over to marble temple, I need to go to the palace to report to the empress dowager, the Emperor has to go to the Seventh Prince, so you can go clear about it marble temple's side. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask, or else I will have to trouble you again at that time.”
thought that it was true, but this room was obviously not suitable for questioning, so he and Huai Jin left the courtyard door and returned to the front hall together with Yuwen Fei. When the three of them returned to the front hall, Ruan Qinghe was still sitting blankly in his original spot.
The people that were sent to inform marble temple had left for a period of time, but since the Wuan Lane was located in a remote area, they would need a period of time before the Palace would send people to interrogate them.
Wei Chengwu didn't say much and directly asked all of his questions.
He first looked at Ruan Qinghe, ”This lowly official dares to ask, what is the relationship between this Su Geying and the Prince Consort?”
Many murders occurred in a row. Ruan Qinghe was in a daze, and didn't even hear Wei Chengwu's question clearly. He replied in a daze: ”It's all my fault.”
Yuwen Fei patted Ruan Qinghe's shoulder, and comforted him with a few words, then raised his head and said to Wei Chengwu: ”I know a bit about Brother Qing He, why don't you let me talk to Captain Wei about it.”
