Chapter 459: Check

Chen Gui is forty-seven this year. Although he is nearly half a hundred years old, his temples are completely white, and one of his posterior molars has become loose. But he was still very clever and could not hide anything from his eyes.
After Chen Gui bowed respectfully to the body, he looked up and saw that lying there was the most noble person in the world, the ruler of all nations. Wearing a gown and a crown on his head. Lying there quietly and peacefully, obviously just a child.
It has been nearly 30 years since Chen Gui has been under the control of crane prison. He has examined many corpses and figured out the truth about countless deaths. He is knowledgeable and skillful, making him a masterpiece of Daqi.
Chen Gui calmed down a bit, and took out various delicate tools for inspection from the sheepskin bag.
Having been in the industry for so many years, he has dealt with gentry officials and even princes who are respected in status, and have dealt with beggars and beggars. The status is different, but the situation encountered this time is not the same as before. No matter what was found this time, it would be a secret to be kept until death. He didn't want to affect the lives of hundreds of people in the Chen family.
Chen Gui's hand holding the tweezers trembled slightly, and big beads of sweat rolled on his forehead. In the past, there was an apprentice in front of him to help out, but this time he came by himself.
With sweat on his face, Chen Gui did not dare to wipe it off. He carefully looked at every part of the body, nostrils, ears, mouth, and even the nails on his hands and feet. The hair was also carefully turned.
Seeing the various forms of corpses and smelling peculiar smells are the basic skills of their profession.
Chen Gui inspected it very carefully. It took him a full hour to finally check all the places. He also took out the secretions in his mouth and observed it carefully. He even cut off a section of his fingernail and studied it carefully.
When Zhao Qian saw that he began to collect tools and wipe his sweat, he knew that everything was over, and Busy and Fu Guang reorganized his remains. After finishing the arrangement, Zhao Qian held the incense and worshipped again, and then said to Chen Gui: "You come with me."
Chen Gui lowered his head and followed Zhao Qian out of Xianju Hall, and went elsewhere.
Then he entered a room with candles lit, and a young woman was vaguely seen above. Although Chen Gui didn't understand his identity, he just knelt down and kowtowed.
"You explain the results of the inspection to the Queen Mother. If there is any concealment, I will never take it lightly."
That young woman is the queen mother! ? Chen Gui didn't feel flustered when he was used to the big scene, and he hurriedly saluted, and promised.
"The queen mother and the regent, the youngest passed a careful inspection, and the emperor's body was not obviously abnormal, there was no trauma, and no obvious lesions were left on the surface."
"Then you mean, the emperor died naturally? He was just a child who had just turned seven years old. He had a cold and had a high fever before, but everything is getting better. Why did he die suddenly? There is a reason, why did it suddenly die?" Li Wei just didn't understand.
Chen Gui could not answer this question, and he continued: "The little one has carefully checked the emperor’s ears, nostrils, hair, etc., and found nothing unusual. However, the fingernails and toenails are a little bit purple. When the oral cavity was examined, there was a peculiar smell. The peculiar smell was not the smell of corpses, but a slightly almond smell."
"Is it the bitter almond flavor?!" Li Wei read a lot of detective novels in that era. The bitter almond flavor appeared in the detective novels because someone killed people with cyanide.
Chen Gui nodded and said, "It is almond flavor, but it is not known whether bitter almond or sweet almond is."
Fu Guang was poisoned by someone? This idea soon came to mind, but it was who was so hateful who actually attacked a seven-year-old child.
Li Wei only felt that the blood on his body was boiling for a moment, because he was so excited that all the blood was pouring up.
Someone started on Fu Guang, who was it? ! She would fight for her life to get this murderer out.
After Chen Gui reported the results he found, Zhao Qian let him go down.
Li Wei was still full of doubts. Zhao Qian saw that her expression was not right, and asked quickly: "Is there a problem with that almond flavor?"
"It may be an odor left by a highly toxic substance."
"If there is really a highly toxic substance, it is impossible for the body to react at all."
This is true, but there is no chemical synthesis here. Where does the cyanide come from? Li Wei wanted to use what he had learned to explain, but found difficulties.
Zhao Qian said: "Can I help you?"
Li Wei said: "Just take care of the affairs of the government. In short, there can be no more troubles."
The king of Shu's rebellion left a huge shadow on her. If someone did the harm deliberately, then what was the purpose? What will it be? A series of doubts bothered Li Wei, but couldn't find the answer.
The second day was the day of the Great Funeral. Li Wei looked at him there, thinking that he died unclearly. Is there no way to do it? When no one was in front of her, she deliberately opened her mouth and smelled it forcefully. However, she did not smell the almond smell that Chen Gui said, but a very unpleasant smell that began to gradually change after a few days. odor.
Trying to find out the death of the little emperor is the most important thing for Li Wei at present. She called several imperial doctors separately and asked them individually. From how to use medicine, how to acupuncture, I have asked carefully. She also got the prescription, and it did say bitter almonds blindly.
Almonds are originally a good medicine for relieving cough and asthma, and the dosage is within the prescribed range, and there is no large amount of use. So is it normal to leave the smell of almonds in the mouth of Fuguang? Li Wei questioned.
She found Fu Guang's pulse cases again. Although she didn't understand medical theory, she didn't understand these pulse cases, but with Caizhi's help, everything became much easier.
Li Wei's movement was a bit louder, and the concubine Jinggui and Concubine Ning all questioned: "Queen dowager, is there something wrong with the death of the emperor?"
Li Wei said: "The emperor walked too suddenly, I just walked again according to the procedure. You don't have to panic." She said 3 very plainly.
Li Wei and Caizhi worked together, and after various verifications, they concluded that everything is normal.
Facing this answer, Li Wei didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
"Caizhi, do you say that besides almonds, is there anything else that has almond flavor?"
Caizhi shook his head doubtfully and said, "The girls don't know."
"You don't know, then you know what cyanide is, and there will be such a substance there?"
"What the Queen Mother said is nothing I have heard of."
Although Li Wei could not hide her disappointment, she still gave Caizhi a hard time. If you can't start with these things, then you should try the people who serve next to Fu Guang to see if there are any confessions between them, and perhaps you will find some details.
