No one thought that there would be a pair of skeletons on the Luohan couch in the room, even Bai Ying gasped in an instant.
This is a new wooden couch made of ebony wood, without embroidered cushions on it, so the bones are reflected more and more. The light in the room is dim and cold. If ordinary people suddenly see this pair of bones, they will be scared. He was so dizzy, but Qin Wan quickly calmed down after the initial moment of surprise.
She scanned the skeleton in front of her eyes inch by inch, and quickly recognized that it was a woman's skeleton. A few thoughts flashed in her mind, and then her eyes trembled in disbelief. Could it be? …
A beam of light suddenly lit up behind him, Qin Wan turned around, but it was Sandalwood who came forward holding a lamp.
Qin Wan glanced at Tan Xiang, but Tan Xiang looked back at Qin Wan calmly. This calmness made Qin Wan more certain of his guess.
Qin Wan didn't ask a single word. Relying on her own instinct, or relying on her determination of Yan Ze's intentions, she leaned down—
The skull of this skeleton is smooth, the muscle line is unknown, small and thin, the pelvis is wide and short, the pelvic wall is thin and smooth, the side wall is straight and shallow, the pelvis is short and wide into a cylinder, the sacrum is short and wide, and the pubic surface Low, if you look carefully, you can also see the birth scar on the back side. This is a female skeleton, or a female skeleton that has given birth. Qin Wan leaned over and saw that the joint surface of the pubic bone was half-convex, and the ridge groove Obviously, the protruding knot on the top can be seen at nearly five points, and the rear edge is turned outward. Qin Wan squinted his eyes. The owner of this skeleton was only over ten years old when he died. .
The corpse is very intact, probably because it is kept in the coffin, it presents a dim half-yellow and half-gray color, the flesh and blood on the corpse surface has long been rotten, and now it has turned into a thin layer of ash that adheres to the skeleton Above, this is a skeleton that has been dead for a longer time than the corpse found in the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion. The dust has become very thin, but it is also more firmly stuck to the skeleton. Qin Wan starts from the skull and carefully examines the skeleton. He probed down, but did not find any scars.
If the owner of the skeleton died due to injuries, and left marks on the bones, the scars will never be erased, but if he didn't die due to injuries, then he really died of illness
If so, what is the significance of her coming today
Qin Wan looked back at Tan Xiang, "Is there any autopsy equipment?"
Sandalwood nodded quickly, turned around and walked to Duobao Pavilion, only then did Qin Wan see a small box by the light.
The small box had been placed there a long time ago. Sandalwood brought the box over and placed it in front of Qin Wan. Qin Wan opened it and saw that there were utensils for handcrafts that are always in stock in every major yamen. Qin Wan chose an extremely thin knife and brought it out. He randomly selected a piece of thoracic vertebrae, and then began to scrape the dirt on it.
A layer of dirt was scraped off, and the original gray-white bone appeared, but Qin Wan felt that the color of the bone was too dull.
Frowning, Qin Wan asked, "How did Princess Yi die of illness back then?"
Sandalwood held the lamp in her hand and said respectfully, "At that time, when the emperor had just ascended the throne, the late emperor died of illness, but the emperor had not recovered from his injuries. The princess came back from the palace that night. Soon, the ears could not hear anything. That night, the princess went. The princess passed away so fast that neither the prince nor the prince could react. Come."
As soon as the sandalwood was lighted, she said everything Qin Wan wanted to know.
Qin Wan's eyes flickered with flickering lights. Somehow, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
She took out a silver needle from her sleeve, pricked it on her fingertip, and then dropped a drop of bright red blood on the thoracic vertebrae.
The blood dripped on the bone, and it should have slid down, but unexpectedly, the blood dripped on the bone and melted into the bone, and soon, the color of Qin Wan's eyes changed again, because the originally red The color of blood slowly turned black—
Qin Wan was taken aback for a moment, and finally understood why there was no trace on the skeleton.
The deceased died of poisoning, so how could there be scars on the bones
Qin Wan fixedly looked at the short bone, and frowned tightly for a long time. Countless thoughts flashed in her heart. In the end, Qin Wan slowly put the bone down, put the knife back into the small box, and Qin Wan Wan felt heavy and out of breath, the room was cold and dark, the darkness seemed to engulf the light in Sandalwood's hand.
"Where are your highness..."
Sandalwood put the box back on its place and said in a low voice, "His Highness is waiting for you outside."
Qin Wan straightened her back, turned her head, and saw a figure in a white shirt in the yard outside through the gap in the acting door.
It is already the twelfth lunar month, and Yan Ze is wearing a wide-sleeved white shirt, floating like a fairy, his back is facing the main entrance, his chin is slightly raised, as if he is looking at the blue sky today, Qin Wan picked up the white cloth on the ground, and covered the bones in front of him Okay, then turned around and walked out.
Walking out the door, the courtyard door was closed, and Yan Ze was standing alone not far from the water tank where the water lilies withered, desolate and carefree.
Sandalwood closed the main gate, and then retreated outside the courtyard gate. Seeing this, Baiying also retreated a little further. Qin Wan looked at Yanze for a moment, then walked forward slowly, "I understand Your Highness."
But Yan Ze suddenly said in a clear voice, "Princess Yi and my mother and concubine were close friends in the boudoir."
The words were nonsense, Qin Wan hadn't reacted yet, but soon, she caught a trace of very cruel information in her mind, she took a breath, at this moment, Yan Ze slowly turned around, Today, his eyes were not covered with medicine towels, and he looked extraordinarily handsome. What made Qin Wan speechless was that his eyes were as dark as deep pools, and he looked at her with shocking brightness...
