Chapter 310 Guidance
Upon hearing this, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple did not say anything more, but turned around to look for what happened on the birthday of Old Duke Ye.
He had been looking through the files in the past few days, and soon found the file about Duke Ye's birthday among the pile of files.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple reached out and handed the file to her, and Gu Junqing took it.
Duan Jun and Qingyi, who were standing beside her, stood there quietly, with their heads lowered and not saying a word.
The three of them stood there, waiting for Gu Junqing to finish reading the contents of the file.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked at the thick file, turned around, took out another file from the cabinet and looked at it. Unlike Gu Junqing who was standing there looking at the file, he walked to the nearest chair and sat down, looking at it carefully.
After Gu Junqing finished reading, the Dali Temple Shaoqing turned his eyes from the file to her and asked, "I wonder what the general found wrong in the file?"
Gu Junqing shook his head and said with a smile: "If I can find out anything in the files, then you will definitely tell me, Master Shaoqing."
Instead of asking her what she found after you have finished reading it.
Upon hearing this, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple nodded and said, "General, you are right. If I find anything, I will naturally inform you..."
Having said that, he paused, then suggested: "Since there is nothing to be gained from the files, why don't you come with me to see the body of the man who was killed by the maid in the Duke's Mansion?" Gu Junqing naturally would not object, so he nodded in agreement.
When the four of them walked towards the coroner's room, Gu Junqing walked in front, so she was the first to see the room full of corpses. The stench of corpses was very strong around her. Gu Junqing's eyebrows did not move, and there was no disgust on her face. When she was on the battlefield, she had smelled corpse stench that was even worse than now. This was just a morgue, and there were people cleaning the area regularly, so Gu Junqing could still tolerate the smell.
After the Shaoqing of Dali Temple came in, there was no expression on his face. After all, he was used to it. He just glanced at Gu Junqing subconsciously, and seeing that her expression did not change, he couldn't help but reveal an expected expression on his face.
However, when he saw that she did not retreat but advanced as if she wanted to study it carefully, he raised his eyebrows. After two quarters of an hour, he saw that Gu Junqing was still thinking about turning over the body himself, and the Dali Temple Shaoqing twitched his mouth and said quickly:
"General, wait a minute!" Seeing Gu Junqing stop and look at him with puzzled eyes, Shaoqing asked her why she was looking through the corpse.
Gu Junqing said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course it is for the convenience of detailed investigation."
"But the coroner has examined the body several times and found nothing wrong..."
The Dali Temple Shaoqing seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Gu Junqing understood, so he didn't want her to look through the body herself.
The most important point is that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple should be saying that the coroner couldn't find any clues, so she wouldn't be able to find anything even if she examined the body.
Gu Junqing thought this made sense, so she nodded and looked around. Seeing that there was nothing there, she had to take out the long-sleeved knife from her waist, and then pressed a button without even looking at it, and then it turned into a short dagger.
So she touched the armpit of the corpse in front of her with the tip of the dagger, and the stench of the corpse became even more unpleasant.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who had originally had no expression on his face, frowned subconsciously because of the sudden stronger stench, and was even more surprised when he saw Gu Junqing's behavior.
He had no idea what Gu Junqing was doing. He clearly understood what he said, so why was he still tinkering with the corpse that even the coroners couldn't find anything wrong with?
Then Gu Junqing's next words made the Dali Temple Shaoqing dumbfounded. She asked him in a low voice: "Why don't you let the coroners try to dissect the body?"
The Dali Temple Shaoqing looked surprised, and his tone rose slightly, obviously shocked by what Gu Junqing said: "No coroner has ever tried to dissect a corpse. First, coroners only dissect corpses that have been dissected by others, and second, it is taboo to dissect a complete corpse."
The body of the servant in front of him was intact, so no one dared to violate this taboo. Gu Junqing was puzzled when he heard this. It was difficult for the coroner to perform an autopsy. What was there to be taboo about?
Thinking of this in his mind, Gu Junqing opened his mouth and asked.
When the Shaoqing of Dali Temple heard Gu Junqing's question and saw how curious she was, he thought that Gu Junqing had been living on the border before coming to the capital, so naturally she didn't know much about the things in the capital.
So he subconsciously looked around, then moved closer to Gu Junqing and explained in a low voice:
"This taboo was left by the late emperor. The late emperor believed in the words of those Taoist priests who said that dissecting a corpse would cause the owner of the corpse to dream at night and kill people in the dream. It is said that the late emperor had dreamed of this and then became furious. That's why these taboos came into being."
Gu Junqing didn't know what to say when she heard the cautious expression of the Dali Temple Shaoqing. She twitched her eyebrows and felt that the reason for this taboo was too absurd.
Although he complained like this in his mind, he couldn't show any sign of abnormality on his face. He could only exclaim expressionlessly, "So that's why."
After the artificial performance, Gu Junqing took one last look at the corpse, a trace of regret flashed across his eyes, and then he complained for the second time that if an autopsy could not be performed, it was no wonder that no clues were found.
Gu Junqing had no intention of hiding the regretful look on his face, so the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple nearby just lowered his eyes and pretended not to see it.
"Since we can't do an autopsy, we can at least use a silver needle to test for poison, to see if this person was killed by poison before he died?"
Gu Junqing asked.
Upon hearing this, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple shook his head and said, "The coroners have tried this method before, but they didn't find any signs of poisoning."
"There's none……"
Gu Junqing murmured.
Then she looked up and glanced at Qing Yi and Duan Jun behind her. It was a pity that Qing He was not brought along. She withdrew her gaze and then focused on the corpse at the other end.
Not only this servant died, several other maids and servants were also killed.
These servants and maids were all from Duke Ye's Mansion. As for the person who killed the servants and maids from Duke Ye's Mansion, she was a maid from Duke Shen's Mansion.
After all, at the time of the assassination, the person was a woman and was wearing the clothes of a maid in Duke Shen’s mansion.
In the end, the maid was also caught by the guards at Duke Ye's mansion.
The last words that the servant said were directed at Lord Yu, both explicitly and implicitly.
Then he committed suicide in front of everyone.
