Chapter 426 - 426 Who Did It?
426 Who Did It?
Jiang Ying and Ning Yue walked out of the secret passage and restored the entrance to its original state. After everything, he shook his head at Ning Yuan. “I don’t have any clues now. All we can do is send someone to wait at the entrance to the secret passage.”
Ning Yue nodded. At this point, this was the only way.
“If possible, I want to dissect that person’s corpse,” Ning Yue said.
Jiang Ying frowned. He was very unwilling to let her touch these things, but now that this matter involved Ning Yuan’s grandfather, she might be angry with him if he stopped her.
After some thought, Jiang Ying nodded in agreement. “I’ll make the arrangements.”
After the two of them left the house, they were not in a good mood. Ning Yue thought for a moment and sent Baili over.
“Baili, this is no small matter. I hope you can go personally,” Ning Yue instructed solemnly.
Baili nodded. “No problem. I’ll definitely complete the mission.”
After sending Baili out, Jiang Ying came over. “Yueyue, they’re ready. Let’s go take a look together.”
Ning Yue nodded and left with Jiang Ying after informing her family.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not talk about dissecting corpses in the Ning family.
After arriving at their destination, Ning Yue began to dissect the corpse. After dissecting it, she realized that the cause of this person’s death was not simple.
Ning Yue silently restored the corpse. After cleaning and disinfecting it, she walked out the door.
“Yueyue, how are you?” Jiang Ying’s heart ached when he saw Ning Yue walking out.
“Jiang Ying, the cause of this person’s death is not simple. He must have been poisoned before he drowned. However, there was no seaweed or algae in his lungs.”
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Jiang Ying was confused. “No seaweed or algae?”
“There’s a lot of seaweed and algae in the moat. If he drowned in it, his lungs would have inhaled a lot of it, algae, so I judge that the moat is probably not the first crime scene.”
Ning Yue explained these things to Jiang Ying, who was enlightened.
“If the inside of the moat isn’t the first crime scene, where could it be?” Jiang Ying asked again.
Ning Yue shook her head. “I don’t know about that.”
If this had happened in the modern era, she could have tested the victim’s lung tissue directly. That way, she could completely tell where the victim had drowned.
As modern tap water was sanitized, there would be some disinfectant medicine in the lung tissue. In ancient times, people drank water directly from wells. Some people drank from mountain springs.
That way, even if she tested the victim’s lung tissue, she might not be able to tell anything.
“Yueyue, leave the rest to me. You have to believe me. As long as he did it, I’ll definitely be able to investigate. I won’t let Grandpa suffer injustice,” Jiang Ying said.
He firmly believed that as long as something was done in this world, it would definitely leave a mark, an indelible mark.
Just like that, he sent someone to continue investigating this person’s interpersonal relationships.
As he had no clue at the moment, he could only start with interpersonal relationships.
For the past few days, Ning Yue had been distracted by this matter. For some reason, the Ning family was extremely worried.
“Yueyue, did something happen? We couldn’t help you in the past, but our family is no longer the same as before. If you have any difficulties, tell us and we’ll solve them together,” Old Master Ning said.
Ning Yue glanced at him and told him, “I’m just thinking about that person. By the way, Grandpa, you have to be more wary of these schemes in the future. As of now, there’s no direct evidence that you’re the murderer. We also believe you’re innocent, but the others aren’t. What we have to do now is find evidence.”
At the mention of this, Old Master Ning’s face turned red. He was angry.
“I don’t understand. The emperor said that this matter has nothing to do with me. Why are those people harping on it?” Old Master Ning said with a frown.
Ning Yue took a deep breath. The old man’s thoughts were very simple. He did not know how dangerous officialdom was at all.
Or rather, he knew, but did not understand in depth.
