Chapter 24: Let Me Do It!

Let Me Do It!

The shrill scream was filled with infinite terror. Instantly, Yin Fengzhan and Nie Jinxuan were both startled. Then, Yin Fengzhan let go of Nie Jinxuan's wrist and walked out with large strides. Seeing Yin Fengzhan leave, Nie Jinxuan also snapped back to reality and hurriedly followed.

The two arrived at the Houyuaner one after the other. At this time, the servants in the mansion who had also heard the scream were running over one after another. Seeing this, Yin Fengzhan frowned slightly.

"Gu Hong!"

"This old servant is here!"

"Have all irrelevant people leave!"

"Yes!"

Gu Hong was worthy of being a qualified Chief Steward. Although he hadn't been following Yin Fengzhan before, when an incident occurred, he could always be there to wait at the first moment. At this moment, upon hearing Yin Fengzhan's instruction, Gu Hong responded respectfully and stepped forward to dismiss the servants who had come upon hearing the noise.

In the blink of an eye, the courtyard that had been crowded with people was empty. Yin Fengzhan walked over, but in the next instant, his eyes flickered.

It turned out that in an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard, a man was lying there! Under the reflection of the torches, no blood was seen, but the bulging eyes, the terrified expression, the slightly open mouth... all proved that he was already dead!

Yin Fengzhan's expression was somewhat gloomy. He crouched down and was about to personally examine the specific situation... But just as he reached out his hand, Nie Jinxuan, who had arrived later, rushed over.

"Wait a moment, let me do it!"

"Uh... Princess Consort..."

As she spoke, Nie Jinxuan actually came to the corpse and bent down. Seeing this, Yin Fengzhan was stunned, and Gu Hong behind him couldn't help but speak out to stop her, but then he saw Yin Fengzhan wave his hand without looking back.

Gu Hong was somewhat surprised but closed his mouth. Instantly, the large courtyard fell into a deathly silence. Nie Jinxuan, who had crouched down, couldn't care about so much. She first looked left and right, then reached out to simply examine the corpse.

"Preliminary judgment: the time of death is within one hour... that is, within half a shichen. He died from having his cervical vertebrae twisted with force from behind! Therefore, it can be determined that the murderer has very strong hand strength, definitely not an ordinary person."

Nie Jinxuan finally spoke. While speaking, her eyes never moved from the corpse for a second. Upon hearing this, Yin Fengzhan, who was also crouching to the side, couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, then his eyes tightened slightly.

"Are you sure?"

"En, very sure! But this is only a preliminary examination, and I can only know this much. For specific details, I will have to wait until after a detailed examination..."

She answered Yin Fengzhan's words seriously, but after saying this, Nie Jinxuan paused slightly, reached out to touch the deceased's neck a few times, and after a moment, withdrew her hand. At the same time, she composed herself and turned to look at Yin Fengzhan beside her.

"However, there is one point that can be known now... if the murderer did not deliberately use a diversion, then it can be determined that the murderer should be left-handed!"

No one knew what Yin Fengzhan was thinking. In any case, he did not raise any objections or doubts, and he didn't even ask why Nie Jinxuan judged the murderer to be left-handed.

Subsequently, after Nie Jinxuan had finished handling things, Yin Fengzhan directly ordered people to search the courtyard and simultaneously had Nie Jinxuan perform an autopsy on the deceased overnight. It wasn't until midnight that the examination was finally completed.

The results of the autopsy also confirmed that Nie Jinxuan's previous judgment was not wrong; the deceased had indeed died from having his cervical vertebrae twisted with force from behind. But aside from that, there were no other wounds on the deceased, and in this way, no other valuable clues were found! ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
