Chapter 171 Suicide and murder

Chi Shi nodded, "The corpse doesn't lie. Sometimes he just talks slowly, so be patient."

At present, it seems that suicide is indeed more likely.

Chi Shi said, holding his hand and shone it towards the light, then took out a cloth bag from the small brocade bag around his waist. The cloth bag was spread out, with a pair of tweezers and a knife inside. It looked cold and people often wiped it.

Chi Shi pulled out tweezers, and from the crack of his fingernail, he picked up a bead that was about half a grain of rice and put it in an oil paper bag. "Jiang Yibai is a man, and there are no beads on his clothes. So where did the small beads in the crack of his fingernails come from?"

As she said, she checked it in detail, but still found no trace of incongruity on Jiang Yibai. He was an adult and strong man with martial arts skills, and ordinary people could not control him. Moreover, he was very good at water. Even if he was pushed down, he could easily swim ashore.

Chi Shi frowned and squatted beside Jiang Yibai, slightly stunned.

Although the possibility of suicide is relatively high, there is an inconsistency on the body, which always makes her feel very uncomfortable.

She thought, turned her head and looked at the knife inserted in the cloth bag...

"Are you going to have it cut? Are you going to have it cut? I heard that drowning people are like broken watermelons. When everything is opened, a lot of water will flow out of my stomach! Do I need to stand farther? Will it spray out?"

Chi Shi turned his head and saw Zhao Lanting's big face coming over. Her eyes were wide open and her mouth kept talking. This was the first time Chi Shi saw that someone showed her fear and expectation so vividly!

Chi Shi thought, picked up the knife, turned around in his hand, and stood up. Li Wan stood here, and it was inconvenient for her to cut it off...

She walked to the feet of the corpse and wanted to go around here, but halfway through, she stopped again, "It turned out to be a belt."

"What's the problem with the belt? The color of the jade ring on the belt doesn't match his robe at all. I heard that the Jiang family was bitter and cold, and Jiang Yibai was raised entirely by Uncle Li's family. It turned out to be true!"

"Not only the color, but the pattern of the jade ring... no one wears it like this anymore. It was something that my grandfather often wore at that time."

Chi Shi shook his head, "It's not Yuhuan. It's the belt that is bigger than his waist."

Zhao Lanting touched his face and pointed to Duke Chen who was standing beside him, "The belts of our Daliang men are very wide. In order to show their status, they are all inlaid with jade on their heads. This belt was not originally used to tie up the thin waist of willows."

"In order not to feel uncomfortable, they are usually very loose. Like my father, he has delicious food, his belly is bigger than that of ordinary people, like ten months of pregnancy. If his belt is tight, he can't breathe. So what's so strange about Jiang Yibai's belt width?"

When she saw Chi, she didn't dissection the body, and was disappointed and secretly relieved.

"Your father is a civil servant, so he is naturally broad in clothes and has a big belt. But Jiang Yibai is a martial arts practitioner, a martial arts practitioner, and people like us who often do things outside, usually like to dress more skillfully."

Chi Shi said, squatted down, stretched out his hand and turned Jiang Yibai over. After she moved, another pool of water flowed out of Jiang Yibai's body, and his hand drooped to Li Wan's shoes.

Li Wan couldn't help but burst into tears. She cried while burping, as if Chi Shi and Zhao Lanting were just saying something, she didn't hear a word, "Suicide? What suicide? Brother Yibai couldn't commit suicide. He must have been killed by someone!"

"Brother Yibai asked me to marry me, but my mother disliked him for having no father or mother and poor family. She is a poor relative of our Duke's Mansion. Even if she practices martial arts, she will be far inferior to Chi Yan's future prospects."

"It's because I'm not strong-minded. My mother was crying in front of me, and she praised Chi Yan as a gentleman, so I agreed. I..."

When Duke Chen heard this, he quickly glanced at Chi Shi and slapped Li Wan on the face, "You are sober, what are you talking about?"

Li Wan covered her face and shed tears, "Dad, Brother Yibai is dead, what else can I say? I regret it after I knew you were going to send him to the border to join the army. We grew up together, and we were only kind and polite."

"If you hadn't been thinking about your family and completely disregarding your children's feelings, you wouldn't have forced us to this point. We had already agreed that after we were hired today, we would leave the capital and fly away. In this case, Brother Yibai would never have committed suicide!"

"Stop your delusion, no one said that Jiang Yibai committed suicide because he did not commit suicide, but was killed by someone." Chi Shi said, pointing at Yibai's belt.

"Did you see the piece in the middle? The wide belt is wrinkled into a ball, and it still shaved as if it was scratched by the cat's paws. When will this happen?"

Chi Shi reached out and raised his hand, turned Jiang Yibai over, and his back was facing up.

She half-squatted down, took out the long side of her waist, and made a hook move, "I don't know if you tried it when you were a child. The elders in the family want to weigh how heavy you are, so they tied you up with clothes or cloth strips like this belt."

"Then take the hook, hook the clothes, and lift you up." Chi Shi gestured a few times, and saw that everyone had figured it out, then stood up straight, "The truth is the same. Jiang Yibai was hooked with an iron hook and then drowned in the water."

"He knows martial arts and water. The prerequisite for doing this is to paralyze his body or lose consciousness. It is very easy for him to live here, and it is very easy to put some sweating pills in the meal or beside him."

"After he was caught, someone lifted him to the edge of the pond and put him down. After he drowned, he lifted the hook up and walked away. When I came earlier, I saw that the Duke Chen Mansion occupied a wide area."

"I heard that old lady come to report the news before, and I felt very strange. The mansion was so poor that it was bleeding, and many places had not been repaired. It was bare and there were no strange flowers and plants. How could I not be able to Cuju? Why should I call those children to the dangerous pond?"

"And today is the day when the Chi family is hired, not the Li family's garden party. Most of the guests are looking at the betrothal gifts. Congratulations. After using the table, they will go to their own homes..."

"In order to let the ladies row, the entire pond was chiseled open. This kind of thing is only suitable for Miss Zhao, who is tired of being idle, and not for Duke Chen's mansion, which can't even afford a good flower."
