Chapter 194 Investigation
Madam Zhu knelt on the ground, her eyes red, staring at Ji Yuntang viciously.
"You killed my husband, I will cut you into pieces."
Ji Yuntang laughed, "How can you be sure that it was me who killed Doctor Zhu? It's true that I hate him, but I don't agree to pin the crime of murder on me for no reason."
"Everything, wait until you see the evidence, then come and convict this princess!"
After Ji Yuntang finished speaking, he ignored her and walked into the Dali Temple.
At that time Xu Muyan walked out from inside. He heard that there was trouble at the door, so he hurried out to investigate.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Ji Yuntang.
Ji Yuntang had a good feeling about Xu Muyan, so he took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted him with a smile.
"Xu Shaoqing, long time no see, this princess is here again."
Xu Muyan: "..."
Of course he knew why Ji Yuntang came here today.
But what he didn't expect was that she could still laugh even though she had been labeled a murderer.
This psychological quality is really too strong.
After being shocked, Xu Muyan knelt down and saluted Ji Yuntang.
"Your humble servant pays homage to Princess Ye. I will conduct a thorough investigation into the assassination of Imperial Physician Zhu. The Dali Temple will never let a bad guy go, nor will it frame a good guy. Princess Ye, please be patient."
Ji Yuntang curled his lips, "With Xu Shaoqing's words, this princess feels relieved."
"I wonder if Xu Shaoqing has found any clues now?"
Xu Muyan stood up and said slowly: "Doctor Zhu was killed in the prison at midnight last night. The jailers on duty inside also passed out last night and were unconscious."
"This morning, a jailer went in to change shifts and discovered something was wrong. According to the coroner's inference, when the jailer found Doctor Zhu in the morning, he had been dead for two hours. The person who came to kill him was able to sneak in quietly. He must have been very familiar with the structure of the Dali Temple prison and knew when there were more guards on patrol."
"The door of the prison was intact, but Doctor Zhu was poisoned and had a knife cut on his neck. Judging from the situation at the scene, there were no signs of a fight, which shows that the other party's martial arts skills are extremely impressive. I suspect that the two of them may know each other. As for whether they are other enemies of Doctor Zhu, it is still impossible to determine."
Xu Muyan told Ji Yuntang his analysis one by one.
Ji Yuntang frowned slightly when he heard this, "Xu Shaoqing, can you let me go to the crime scene and take a look?"
"No, she's a suspect. What if she goes and there are signs of vandalism? We can't let her go."
Before Xu Muyan could say anything, Ji Huaiche's voice of opposition rang out.
Ji Yuntang frowned, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"It has been nearly four hours since the incident. I believe the officers and coroners from the Dali Temple have already collected the evidence. I am just going to take a look. How can I destroy the scene?"
"Prince Ji keeps saying that I am a suspect, but he can't produce any evidence that I killed Doctor Zhu. I went to see him, just to prove that I didn't kill Doctor Zhu. Is there a problem?"
Ji Huaiche was so embarrassed by what he said. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are such a scheming person. Who knows if you will do something behind my back?"
When Xu Muyan heard this, his gentle face suddenly fell, and his tone was filled with a hint of anger.
"Ji You Shao Qing, whether Princess Ye is the murderer or not will be determined by the coroner and me. Before the case is fully solved, she is qualified to go to the scene to investigate."
"As for whether she will destroy the scene, you don't have to worry about that. With me here, I won't let that happen."
After Xu Muyan finished speaking, he turned to look at Ji Yuntang and made a gesture to invite her in.
"Princess Ye, please follow me."
He treated Ji Yuntang very well and showed her great respect, which was in stark contrast to Ji Huaiche's attitude.
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly, and his impression of Xu Muyan improved a lot.
"Okay, thank you Xu Shaoqing for speaking up for me just now."
Ji Yuntang knew in her heart that at this moment when everyone suspected that she was the murderer, Xu Muyan was willing to stand up and protect her. This behavior was not easy.
His character is much better than Ji Huaiche's.
Xu Muyan's face was gentle and elegant, and he said lightly: "Princess Ye, you don't have to be polite. These are what I should do."
The two went to the crime scene together.
In the cell, Doctor Zhu was lying on a wooden bed, completely covered by a white cloth.
There was a large patch of bright red blood on the ground, and a lot of it was also sprayed on the wall next to it.
A middle-aged coroner in a black gown was writing something down with a pen.
Xu Muyan walked over and asked, "Mr. Zhang, have you found any other clues?"
Coroner Zhang raised his head, saw Xu Muyan, and bowed to him.
"In reply to Xu Shaoqing, I discovered that the poison in Doctor Zhu's body is a highly toxic poison called Cold Star. The poisoned person will be paralyzed, their meridians will be reversed, and they will die in agony. This poison should have come from the coastal areas."
Ji Yuntang frowned. She looked at the pool of blood on the ground. It was obviously not a symptom of being hit by the cold star.
She suddenly asked, "Can I take a look?"
Only then did Zhang the coroner turn his gaze to her. He had seen Ji Yuntang before, but he had never taken her seriously.
Now, when he heard the other party actually proposed to see Doctor Zhu's body, he suddenly felt as if he was being questioned and his face looked displeased.
"You are a little girl, have you ever seen a dead person? How dare you look at a dead body?"
"This is not a place for you to come. Go outside and wait. Don't stick to Xu Shaoqing and affect his judgment."
Coroner Zhang naturally thought that Ji Yuntang was Xu Muyan's pursuer.
He felt that the other party was really courting death, chasing someone here.
Doesn’t she know that Xu Muyan has a wife at home who is nine months pregnant?
It's shameless to cling to a man like this!
Ji Yuntang had no idea what Zhang the coroner was thinking. She turned her head and looked at Xu Muyan. After receiving the other party's agreeing look, Ji Yuntang walked over and removed the white cloth from Doctor Zhu.
"What are you doing? Stop it now!"
Coroner Zhang's face changed drastically, and he was about to step forward to stop it, but Xu Muyan grabbed his arm.
"She is the Night Princess."
These five short words made Zhang the coroner freeze in place, as if he had been struck by lightning.
He opened his lips, but in the end no words came out.
It's not like he hasn't heard of the name of Princess Ye, Ji Yuntang.
In his eyes, such a person was an extraordinary woman who changed the entire Night King's Mansion with her own efforts and saved His Majesty the Night King.
