Two headless female corpses lay side by side in the morgue of the Ministry of Justice.
When Zhao Ling followed Lu Ziqing into the morgue again, she found that besides Qin Niansheng, there was also a middle-aged man in his fifties with small eyes and fat ears, making him slightly fatter.
After listening to Qin Niansheng's introduction, she learned that the man's name was Feng Jin, and it was Lu Ziqing's second work from Dali Temple.
This Lu Ziqing was probably hurt by Meng Yuan's poisonous and harsh tongue last time, so he didn't dare to trouble Zhao Ling again, so he had to ask Dali temple to give him someone.
This Dasheng Dynasty was so lacking in organized work that it actually wanted the next Minister of Justice to borrow someone from the Dali Temple. Zhao Ling couldn't help but secretly laughed.
It was just that Feng Jin felt much better about himself because he was, at this moment, the second in qualification ranking. Relying on his rich experience, he couldn't help but look contemptuous when he saw that Lu Ziqing invited a weak girl.
"Does Master Lu look down on this old man? Even if he is not satisfied with the autopsy results of this old man, he should find a decent person. Why should he find a little girl to tarnish this old man's reputation?"
Zhao Ling raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this old man was a bit arrogant.
Due to his rare talent, Lu Ziqing was very tolerant towards Feng Jin. "Feng Jin has been thinking too much. Just because the corpse was examined by Princess Xuan last time, she was specially invited to give Feng Jin some advice."
So you said that last time the body was examined by this little girl? Feng Jin's small eyes widened a little bit in surprise. If nothing else, Feng Jin could see that the suture technique after the autopsy was absolutely professional.
He really couldn't see how a mere little girl had such ability.
She was just a dignified princess, how could she still do such a perfect thing? Feng Jin really couldn't figure it out.
Zhao Ling was not a person who liked to be too polite when work was involved. After saying hello to Feng Jin, she walked over to the two corpses and began to examine them.
On the other hand, Lu Ziqing introduced to Zhao Ling some details of the discovery of the body and the capture of the murderer.
"The place where the body was found was also the same lotus pond last time. Early this morning, a young eunuch on duty passed by the lotus pond, and saw a man in black throw a white flower into the pond. The little eunuch screamed out. The sound attracted guards who were patrolling nearby. Later, the guards captured the man in black after a hunt."
"The man in black has pleaded guilty?" Zhao Ling asked while examining the body.
"Confessed." Lu Ziqing's expression was as solemn as ever.
Habitually, Zhao Ling frowned slightly. It sounded like a perfect fit, but she always felt that it should not be so simple.
On the surface, the method of attack on the two bodies appears to be identical. The head was also cut off by a sharp weapon, and the words "GIVE ME BACK MY LIFE" were also engraved on the chest of the maid. And since these five words were originally written crookedly by the murderer, covering up his original handwriting, it was reasonable to say that they were written by the same person.
"Is the fatal injury of the deceased also caused by the silver needle piercing the heart?" Zhao Ling saw that the corpse's chest had been sutured, and she concluded that Feng Jin had already done an autopsy just now.
"Exactly." Lu Ziqing replied in a deep voice.
Feng Jin on the side said impatiently. "According to the judgment of this old man, the murder methods in these two cases are exactly the same, hence, the murderer on the two occasions should be the same person."
How many times had he said it? How come this Lord Lu didn't believe his words?
"Master Lu has another opinion?" Zhao Ling asked Lu Ziqing, who had a dignified face.
Since she was specially invited here, there must be some doubts.
Lu Ziqing nodded, "I just think it's too coincidental. Since the last palace maid died, the lotus pond has been heavily guarded. If the murderer wants to commit the crime again, this is not a favorable time."
"So, Master Lu thinks this case may be deliberately done by the man in black?" Zhao Ling helped him express his thoughts.
Lu Ziqing's always sharp eyes showed some admiration. This woman had unique insights and clear thinking. Right now, he had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend in Zhao Ling.
"Doing it on purpose? Could it be that this murderer is a pervert, deliberately killing and throwing corpses while the guards are on patrol, and then waiting for them to catch him?" Qin Niansheng asked inexplicably.
Feng Jin also expressed doubts on his face.
Zhao Ling ignored the questions of the two of them, she continued to lean down and carefully compared the differences between the two corpses.
Suddenly, she showed a shallow smile, raised her head and said to Lu Ziqing, "Master Lu, your guess is correct."
Her eyes were clear as crystals and her smile was like beautiful flowers, which made Lu Ziqing's serious face froze for a moment, and he suddenly felt his heart beat a little faster.
Knitting his brows together, he quickly suppressed this abnormal feeling and said coldly, "What did Princess Xuan find out?"
Zhao Ling didn't care either, pointing to the incisions in the necks of the two corpses and voiced to him. "The people who cut off the heads of the two dead maids are not the same person."
Hearing this, the three present were all shocked, and immediately stepped forward to take a closer look.
