Chapter 11: Coroner Meng Xian

Coroner Meng Xian

Nie Jinxuan felt as if her bones were about to be crushed! At this moment, Yin Fengzhan just looked at her silently.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the anger in Nie Jinxuan's heart grew even stronger. She followed suit and pursed her lips tightly, saying nothing more. But her calm phoenix eyes stared fixedly at the man before her without blinking.

The two stared at each other, and the smell of gunpowder instantly filled the entire room. Finally, after a good while, Yin Fengzhan suddenly threw her aside.

"Remember, don't think about playing tricks in front of me!"

"Rest assured, you are not worth that much effort!"

Blocking Yin Fengzhan without any politeness, Nie Jinxuan glared at him. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan instantly narrowed his eyes.

"... Gu Hong, take the Princess Consort away!"

"No need, I can walk myself!"

After speaking, Nie Jinxuan didn't hesitate in the slightest. She raised her chin slightly and walked out.

Just like that, after tossing and turning for most of the night, Nie Jinxuan was eventually taken back to the Chairfang.

The next morning, in the study of the Chen Wang Fu.

"Prince, the person has arrived!"

Steward Gu Hong spoke in a low voice. After speaking, he brought an old man in.

The old man was over sixty, with gray hair, and his wrinkled face carried a hint of uprightness. As soon as he entered the room, he bowed to Yin Fengzhan, who was sitting behind the desk.

"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Chen."

"What is the result?"

Yin Fengzhan didn't beat around the bush. After speaking, he put down the book in his hand and looked at the old man before him.

"Replying to Your Highness Prince Chen, according to my examination, the victim died the night before last. He was struck in the back by a palm, which shattered his internal organs, leading to his death. The wound in the chest was inflicted after death."

The old man answered concisely. But upon hearing this, Yin Fengzhan pursed his lips slightly.

"Died the night before last?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know the specific time?"

"This, I cannot guarantee. After all, the victim has been dead for a long time, so it is difficult to determine the exact time!"

"... Fine, you may go!"

"Yes."

Responding respectfully again, the old man retreated. Once the old man left, Gu Hong walked over.

"Prince, what do you think of this matter..."

……

Gu Hong was a stern person, but at this moment, he showed a rare hint of doubt and gravity. After all, Meng Xian was the premier old coroner in the entire Dongling Kingdom, and his ability to perform autopsies was unmatched. But right now, even the old coroner Meng Xian couldn't determine the exact time of death, so why did the Princess Consort...

Could it be that the Princess Consort just said it randomly to prove her innocence? But if she said it randomly, how could she be so accurate? And if it wasn't random, how did she know?

Gu Hong's heart was full of questions. At this moment, Yin Fengzhan raised his head.

"Apart from what Meng Xian just said, how is the investigation into other matters going?"

"Uh... yes! Replying to the Prince, this old servant has already investigated clearly. The victim was a new gardener in the back courtyard named Wang Fu. He didn't talk much, but he was well-liked and had never had any disputes with anyone in the residence. According to the servants who were familiar with him, they saw him at dinner the evening before last, but no one knew anything after that."

"As for the Princess Consort, this old servant has also verified it. The night before last, the Princess Consort was indeed in her room. At that time, the maid Manzhu broke a teacup and was severely punished by the Princess Consort. Many people knew about this at the time..."

Gu Hong's words proved that Nie Jinxuan had spoken the truth. But Yin Fengzhan narrowed his eyes.

"Are there any clues about the killer?"

"Not yet!"

Responding in a low voice, Gu Hong looked up at Yin Fengzhan, who was sitting behind the desk, and then his expression instantly tightened.

"However, when Meng Xian was performing the autopsy, this old servant saw it! Wang Fu's internal organs were all shattered, not a single part was intact. Since a single palm to the back could cause such damage, one can imagine that the killer is definitely no ordinary person!" ===== CHAPTER 12 =====
