Chapter 91 The Suspected Shipwreck(1/2)
Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Guard Duan let go quickly."
Duan Sui frowned slightly, looked at the pieces of candy-like things in the box, and asked Xin Yi curiously: "What is this?"
Xin Yi thought for a while and said seriously: "Du Cui."
"Block...leak?" Duan Sui shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
Then he turned to the people next to him and asked, "Have you heard of it?"
Everyone shook their heads and asked all kinds of questions.
Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Xin Yi, and after a long while he hummed and laughed.
"Where is the poison?"
Xin Yi looked at him with clear eyes and a magnanimous expression: "First of all, this thing hurts the brain, making the brain dizzy and irritable, and then sad. Once the toxin enters the brain, it can cause a person's heartbeat to accelerate, limbs to feel hot, breathing to be short of breath, and blood to reverse. They run away... and even worse, become insane, like a madman, and eventually die of exhaustion."
Fu Jiuqu's expression remained unchanged: "Really?"
Xin Yi nodded, "It's better than Nux Vomica, but no worse."
Duan Sui took a breath, and couldn't help but feel scared, "It's so powerful? I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat. Euonymus, throw it back into the water quickly..."
Xin Yi: "That's not necessary."
As she spoke, she smiled slightly, took off the fishskin hat on her head and put it on her hands, bent down and picked up the box together with the bamboo basket, and said calmly:
"The medicine and poison come from the same source, just like strychnos vomica, it can also be used as medicine..."
"Oh?" Duan Sui was curious: "What's the effect?"
Xin Yi smiled, "It's useless to men."
Duan Sui: "Is medicine divided into men and women?"
Xin Yi pursed his lips and said, "This stuff can be used as medicine to keep your skin beautiful after being prepared. Crush it into powder, soak it in wine for three days, mix it with white aconite and white striata, etc., and apply it on the face. If you use it for a long time, it will make your skin white and darken your complexion." Beautiful and as white as jade."
Duan Sui lost interest when he heard that it was for women's beauty.
The guards on the canal were still busy, so he turned around to watch people collecting the bodies.
Xin Yi looked at Fu Jiuqu and his beloved man on the river bed opposite.
"My sister happens to have dark skin and needs it. Prince, can you give it to me as a gift?"
Fu Jiuqu: "No."
Xin Yi: "This is something fished out from the bottom of the water. It is an ownerless thing."
Fu Jiuqu: "The proceeds from the sunken ship should belong to the imperial court."
Xin Yi hated it so much that his teeth itched.
She could see that this Fu Jiuqu just didn't want him to feel comfortable.
"It's useless even if the prince takes it, so why can't he be more noble?"
Fu Jiuqu hummed softly, looked at the corpses placed on the deck, and said in a calm voice: "The incident of the shipwreck has not yet been investigated. Everything on the ship is evidence."
Xin Yi's heart was broken.
However, Fu Jiuqu's words were not directed at her. Even if she did not understand the laws of the Song Dynasty, she had been popularized in modern times. There were so many corpses under the sunken ship, and she did not know the cause of the incident. The things inside were indeed evidence. things.
"The prince..."
Xin Yi looked back at the water and rocks.
"Obviously, the ship ran into a rock while traveling at night, and the ship was destroyed and everyone died..."
Fu Jiuqu: "You actually know that we are sailing at night?"
Xin Yi:……
It's not that she knows, but that's how it was written in the original plot.
There was no conspiracy or mystery in the shipwreck, it was just accident and bad luck.
However, perhaps because of the prohibition of bloody scenes in the game, when she was doing this task, she went into the water and did not see any corpses...
Where did these corpses come from?
Was the deceased a boatman?
She was full of doubts.
Fu Jiuqu spread his hands towards her.
Xin Yi was anxious and hateful, and his throat was about to burst into flames.
"Does the prince have to take it away?"
"must."
Xin Yi knew that the more she valued Du Nun, the easier it would be for Fu Jiuqu to suspect her. In desperation, she made a sudden move and handed the fishskin hat and the box into Fu Jiuqu's hand.
"Prince, be careful, it's poisonous."
Fu Jiuqu hummed, took it and handed it to Sun Huai without saying much.
"Keep it."
Sun Huai was holding a hot potato, cautiously, "Yes."
Xin Yi's heart was bleeding, and he sighed and said: "Prince, when you find out the accident of the shipwreck, can you give me Du Tu? You see, my sister was teased by the young marquis just now because of her dark skin... Yes
For women, this medicine is really useful."
Fu Jiuqu chuckled, his eyes lazily glanced at her face without saying a word.
Obviously, Fu Jiuqu didn't care whether her and her sister's skin was dark or not. He turned his head to look at the water and slowly stepped forward.
"Where is the prosecutor?"
A horse-faced man wearing a brown short coat and Gebu trousers was bending down to look at the corpse. Hearing this, he walked out of the crowd of guards and bowed his hands in front of Fu Jiuqu.
"Prince, my subordinate is Inspector Mingliu."
Fu Jiuqu raised his hand and said, "Let's talk about it."
Mingliu responded with a "yes", then walked to the twenty-five corpses and introduced them seriously, "Twenty-five corpses, nineteen male corpses, and six female corpses. They were dead for more than a month, and my subordinate Chuchu looked at them
, should be the injured in the shipwreck..."
He stopped and glanced at Fu Jiuqu, with hesitation in his eyes.
"Prince, I have some doubts."
Fu Jiuqu nodded, "You say."
Ming Liu thought for a moment, then turned a prostrate corpse over and let Fu Jiuqu take a look.
"It has been more than a month since the corpse sank to the bottom of the river. It is said that there will be a 'giant look', swelling, cracking, falling apart when touched, turning into white bones, or being buried in the belly of a fish and becoming mutilated. Even if it is a fluke, so many corpses will
, none of the corpses were touched by the fish, but the muscles of the corpses will also decompose and fall into the water. But look, Prince, these corpses have different degrees of decay, and some of them are even intact... There are also two female corpses here, with faces.
Although blurry, the corpse is fresh, even showing a state of decay, as if it had just died..."
Fu Jiuqu looked at them one by one and frowned deeply.
"Are you sure it's been more than a month since your death?"
Mingliu frowned: "Except for these two female corpses, the rest of the corpses... I can be sure. Judging from the degree of corruption of other items in the hull, they are no less than a month old. They should have been with the sunken ship."
Those who will be buried at the bottom of the river will no doubt..."
Ming Liu spoke eloquently, and everyone started talking about it.
"Why are the corpses in a shipwreck with different degrees of decay?"
Xin Yi heard everyone talking lively and walked over slowly.
She had seen this Ming Liu before. He testified for her in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion. He was the final examiner of Ma Fan's body.
Since his test results can overturn the Kaifeng Prefecture's autopsy, it proves that he has a higher status among the coroners.
Xin Yi looked at it for a moment and suddenly interjected: "I know why."
she?
The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.
The crowd's eyes turned towards Xin Yi.
Mingliu frowned even more.
"Please give me some advice, young lady."
Xin Yi pointed to the tin and wooden box that was abandoned aside.
"Look, there are remnants of agarwood in the box. I guess that the sunken ship was originally loaded with a large amount of incense. I think it was originally a ship carrying incense. The incense delayed the decay of the corpse. Fish
The crowd refuses to get close, so the condition of the corpse is inconsistent with the time of death. The distance between the corpse and the fragrant medicine also causes different degrees of decay..."
Mingliu nodded.
To be continued...
