Chapter 95: Autopsy Of The Second Maid [II]

Zhao Ling pointed to the two incisions and explained, "Judging from the strength of the knife under the incision and the shape of the cut surface, the first murderer used his right hand, while the second murderer used his left hand."

With Zhao Ling, Lu Ziqing and others discovered that it was indeed the case.

"Where is the captured man in black now?" Zhao Ling asked.

"Detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice." Lu Ziqing replied.

"What about his identity?"

"It's a big guard."

"Is there a clue to the identities of the two palace maids?"

"It has been confirmed that they were the maids who cleaned the cold palace. They were innocent and have nothing suspicious."

It took so long to prove their identities because they were palace maids in the cold palace. In the palace, the cold palace has always been a place that is easily overlooked.

"If the man in black is left-handed, he is the murderer of the second palace maid, but he definitely knows who is the real murderer of the first palace maid." Zhao Ling's tone was flat and her expression was normal, but the conclusion she reached was very powerful.

However, just when they wanted to go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice to interrogate the man in black, a message came from the prison. ~The man in black committed suicide by biting his tongue.~

Justice prison, dark and gloomy.

Since the man in black was the key clue to the murder in the palace, Lu Ziqing ordered him to be held in isolation and guard him properly.

When Lu Ziqing, who received the news, arrived in a hurry, the head of the cell and the jailer were already kneeling on the ground, waiting for Lu Ziqing to reprimand him.

Lu Ziqing was originally a cold and serious character. He was usually unsmiling and was known as "Dark Lord". Therefore, in the management of his subordinates, unlike Dong Runnian's generosity and kindness, he was extremely strict.

But now, the officers who were ordered to strictly guard the prisoner by Lord Lu, the Gloom Face, saw the prisoner committed suicide before their very eyes, which made the head of the cell and the guards really want to fall down and die. They could only pray to the heavens not to allow them to die horribly.

Lu Ziqing was of course very angry, but when he saw such a scene, he felt helpless again. The people from the Ministry of Justice seemed to have had a very comfortable life.

For the person in charge, it was the saddest thing to face a scenario such as this one.

Thinking of this, he felt desolate for a while, but he waved his hands weakly, permitting them to get up, and report what really happened.

Zhao Ling followed Lu Ziqing and walked slowly into the prison.

The man in black who bit his tongue and committed suicide lay flat on the ground, his mouth full of blood.

The man in black was very young, looking only in his twenties, with a tough face but handsome appearance.

She crouched down to check and confirmed that the man in black was truly dead.

In order to confirm her guess, she first began to check the hands of the man in black. Sure enough, he was left-handed and left-handed.

"Is the identity of this inner guard suspicious?" Walking out of the prison, Zhao Ling asked Lu Ziqing.

"His name was Ding Yifei, a native of Shandong. He joined the Imperial Forest Army two years ago and became a bodyguard in the inner circle. He was usually unknown, but his performance was acceptable, and he had no traces of suspicion on him." Lu Ziqing shook his head.

"What about Concubine Li?" She still felt that Concubine Li was very suspicious.

"Concubine Li's maiden name is An Zhaorong. She is the daughter of An Yuandao, the magistrate of Heyang County. She entered the palace through the draft two years ago. A few days ago, I sent someone to visit Heyang County. I believe there will be results in the near future." Thinking of Concubine Li's status in the palace, Lu Ziqing's face became solemn and worried.

She also came to the palace two years ago? Zhao Ling sharply grasped this point. Could this man in black have something to do with Concubine Li, and that the person he desperately wanted to protect was Concubine Li?

But she didn't tell Lu Ziqing her guess. As a professional forensic doctor, what she had to do was to speak for the corpse and use evidence to prove it, instead of using her own guesses to interfere with the thinking of the investigators.

She believed that Lu Ziqing's professional ability would definitely direct him through a certain part of investigation. So, what she could think of as important, he might not think of it the same way.

Just seeing Lu Ziqing's tired face, she felt some sympathy for him. As the son of the first assistant of the dynasty, he was in an important position at a young age. How many eyes were staring at him, and how many people wanted to fail openly. One could imagine the pressure he was under.

Seeing that they had arrived at the entrance of the penal department, Zhao Ling comforted him by the way while saying her goodbyes to him.

"I remember a case-solving expert who said that there is always only one truth, and that any difficult case will come to light one day, so Master Lu doesn't have to worry too much. Wherever there's need for me, I will do my best to help."

I'm sorry, Lord Conan, but I just quoted your famous words first. Zhao Ling thought to herself.

Zhao Ling's words left Lu Ziqing stunned on the spot, his heart pounding. As the oldest son of Lu, in his life for more than 20 years, only the harshness of his father, the expectation of his mother, the dependence of his younger siblings, the burden of the family, and the coveting eyes of many around him, were the only things he had ever experienced. 

However, no one had ever said to him that I will help you, because they all felt that someone as strong as Lu Ziqing didn't need help.

But now, this gentle and weak woman said firmly to him that she would do her best to help him.

This experience made Lu Ziqing's hard-earned defenses collapse in an instant. He used all his self-control to prevent his eyes from revealing his inner excitement, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you...for your concern."

He suddenly didn't want to call her Concubine Xuan anymore, but he didn't know what to call her for a while, so he had to refer to her vaguely.

Naturally, Zhao Ling didn't know Lu Ziqing's psychological changes. To her, these words were nothing more than cheering each other up as colleagues. She said goodbye to Lu Ziqing calmly, got on the carriage that the Ministry of Justice had prepared for her, and left.

Watching Zhao Ling's carriage disappear from his sight, Lu Ziqing finally allowed himself to show reluctance.

Such a unique and exquisite woman. He was not a person with rich and delicate feelings. For him, women were just decorations while his career was the first thing in his life. Not to mention that this woman had already made a marriage contract with King Xuan, and he must not have any strange thoughts about her. 

Did he still want to be the second Fengze? Absolutely not.

But why couldn't he control his heart from getting out of hand when facing her?
