Chapter 345



345 Huang xiaorou (2)

The spring of the thirty-first year of yuanjing.

she kept it on her body before she died. It must be something extremely important to her.

Huaiqing looked at Xu Qi ‘an, as if seeking confirmation.”What does Lord Xu think?”

Xu Qi ‘an replied, “okay.

The corners of Huai Qing’s lips curled up.

“Your Highness, you’re so smart. Why don’t you take a look at this female corpse? what can you see?”

Huaiqing couldn’t help but look at him. Xu Qi ‘an looked like he was going to test her. She couldn’t help but restrain the curve of her lips and become unwilling to admit defeat.

according to the paleness and swelling of the corpse, she didn’t jump into the well after the crime. Huaiqing made his judgment.

“Within two days.” Xu Qi ‘an gave a more accurate reply.

there are no obvious external injuries on her body, so she should have drowned. She might have been knocked unconscious. After saying that, the elegant and refined eldest Princess subconsciously looked at Xu Qi ‘an.

Seeing that he was expressionless and did not reply, the princess was a little unhappy. When she lowered her head, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

“Is there any more?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Huaiqing thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

you’re missing the most important step. Usually, when examining female corpses, even if there are obvious signs of death, you should never forget to check …

Xu Qi ‘an raised an eyebrow at huaiqing and chuckled.

Huaiqing was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw Xu Qi ‘an’s gaze land on the forbidden area. As intelligent as she was, she immediately understood.

Whoosh …

Her white face immediately turned red. The Grand princess’s brows furrowed and she gritted her teeth, “”Xu ningyan, you dare to tease this Princess!”

Xu Qi ‘an admitted his mistake and said sincerely, “”I didn’t mean to offend you. Please forgive me, Princess.”

Huaiqing turned to the side, expressing that he didn’t accept his apology. He was very angry.

Teasing the proud and cold Princess was much more satisfying than teasing Lin. an … The way Huai Qing looked when he was angry had. different feeling … Xu Qi ‘an coughed and said,

“She did drown, but she didn’t drown in the well. She was pressed into the water and suffocated to death.”

“How do you know?” Huaiqing didn’t believe him. He turned his head and asked.

Well, as long as they were discussing academic issues, she would not be angry for the time being … Female top students also had their own weaknesses … Xu Qi ‘an silently noted it down and explained, ”

“Look at her purplish-red face. A normal drowning victim’s face would be pale and swollen. Only when you’re pressed into the water with your head facing down will your blood flow back to your head, causing your face to be flushed red.”

Huaiqing furrowed his brows in deep thought.

there’s one more thing. Xu Qi ‘an grabbed the woman’s wrist. look at her hands. They’re clenched into fists, which is a sign of drowning. But if you look closely, there’s no sand or moss under her nails.”

Huaiqing focused his gaze and saw that the gaps between his fingernails were indeed clean.

“This means that she did drown, but she didn’t die in the well?” She asked.

“Your Highness is too smart. Compared to you, His Highness Lin an is just a younger sister.” Xu Qi ‘an cupped his hands to express his admiration.

Even though he knew that he was complimenting him, huaiqing still felt at ease.

Humans loved to hear compliments, and Saints were no exception. Moreover, Princess huaiqing had always been proud. On the surface, she might not care about flattery, but she would secretly be happy.

Huaiqing replied with a reserved “mm.”

“So, she was killed to keep her mouth shut,” The Royal Princess added.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. At the same time, he heard soft footsteps. He looked up at the door and saw the young eunuch coming over with a knife for dissecting the body.

The sound of hurried footsteps rushed through the threshold. The young eunuch’s first reaction when he saw the female corpse was to shriek,”Ya ~

“Little eunuch, you must have never seen a woman before. Come, come, come, I’ll give you a physiological lesson.” Xu Qi ‘an teased him.

The young eunuch ignored him. He was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and placed the knife on the long table.

There were a total of six knives of different sizes and sizes, wrapped in thick sackcloth.

Xu Qi ‘an wanted to lick his lips to express his inner anticipation, but he felt that this posture was too weird and inappropriate to show it in front of huaiqing, so he could only endure it.

. Really, I don’t like people watching me when I’m doing some fun hobbies …’ He chose a single-edged knife the size of a dagger, placed the tip of the knife against the female corpse’s throat, and slit it open.

A slightly turbid stream of water flowed out.

“Ugh …”

The young eunuch covered his mouth and could not help but retch when the tender red flesh was exposed in his sight.

Xu Qi ‘an switched to a bigger knife and cut open his chest and lungs …

“Ugh …” The young eunuch escaped.

He couldn’t hold on anymore?

Huai Qing’s Jade-like face revealed a very vivid expression-horror and disgust. Her eyelashes trembled as she looked away.

“There’s water in his lungs too. The cause of death can be confirmed. He drowned.” Xu Qi ‘an put down the knife.

“Is there anything else that needs to be checked?” Huai Qing nodded.

“No, Your Highness, let’s leave.” Xu Qi ‘an said and suddenly let out a sound.

Huaiqing, who had already turned around and was about to leave, turned back and suddenly frowned.”What are you doing?”

“She was injured.” Xu Qi ‘an frowned. As he spoke, he turned the ” fat ” on the woman’s chest upward so that huaiqing could see what was under her breast.

Huaiqing was stunned.

The palace maid named Huang xiaorou had a deep scar on her lower left side that was directly facing her heart.

She suddenly realized that she had misunderstood Xu Qi ‘an and understood his doubts.

How could a Palace maid suffer such a dangerous injury? The strange thing was, he actually survived?

Xu Qi ‘an spread out the sackcloth again, held the biggest knife, and cut open the female corpse’s chest along the scar.
