Chapter 896 It’s absolutely true, there’s no mistake!
A young jailer beside the prison boss glared at the man and said, "Why, you still don't believe our boss? He's dead. Come and touch him; he's cold."
The man who had spoken came over and looked at Tiezi, his face pale. Then he murmured, "He's really dead, really dead. How could he be dead? He was still talking before he went to sleep."
"Ah...," the brothel girls finally reacted and screamed in fear. The place where they had just been lying was not far from him.
"What did I say to you?" asked Princess Ronghui's third brother.
"When he saw someone talking, he told them to stop talking."
Luo Zhaoyin nodded and ordered a guard beside him, "Go and call a coroner."
"Sir, you have just sent Liu Qi and Zhong Xiaoniu away. There is no coroner in the mansion now." The guard reminded.
Lord Luo slapped his forehead suddenly, and then he remembered that the two coroners from their Jingzhao Prefecture had been sent to Wanhua Tower, and an older coroner had returned home to celebrate the New Year.
He rubbed his temple and said to the guard beside him: "Then hurry to the Dali Temple and ask them to borrow a coroner!"
"Yes, sir! I'll go right away!" The guard did not dare to delay and turned around and left in a hurry.
Then, Lord Luo turned to the jailer and said, "Don't move this man yet. Clear out another cell and put these people together. Let Wu Hai and the others interrogate them later."
"Yes, sir." The jailer nodded quickly in response.
"Sir, it wasn't us who caused his death, why are you interrogating us?" A brothel girl cried in panic.
"You were together, and he died in front of you. I suspect one of you was responsible." Lord Luo said coldly.
"Tiezi is just a small guard in our Wanhua Tower. He follows Tao Dahu like a follower every day. Who would harm him?" The man just now also hurriedly explained.
Just when they were talking about someone's death, Princess Ronghui's third brother and Han Fengli pulled her to the door of the cell and didn't let her see. She also didn't hear the man say that the deceased was called Tiezi.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the name Tiezi. She was startled and immediately walked to the dead body. With the light of the oil lamp, she took a closer look and shouted excitedly, "Father, it's him, it's him!"
Princess, did you see it clearly?" Han Fengli asked hurriedly.
"It's absolutely true, there's no mistake about it!" Princess Ronghui said affirmatively.
Then, she turned around and asked the man who had just spoken: "Where is the Tao Dahu you mentioned?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "Miss, how would I know? I didn't see him either."
Then he added, "He's quite capable, very mysterious, and rarely speaks to us. The boss is a bit accommodating towards him. Only his best friend follows him around like crazy."
"He is Tiezi, his name is Zhao Tie, right? Why isn't he following Tao Dahu?" Princess Ronghui asked, pointing at the dead man lying on the ground.
"Yes, yes, he is Tiezi for sure. Tao Dahu probably took advantage of the chaos and ran away. He has good lightness skills, so why would he take him with him when he ran away? He is just like us, with no lightness skills." The man said anxiously.
Princess Ronghui frowned and said to Prince Xin, "Father, this is the man, but why did he die?"
Han Fengli's brows were furrowed, his eyes as sharp as swords. He said to Luo Zhaoyin in a deep voice, "There's something fishy about this man's death. We must find Tao Dahu immediately!"
"Let's go and search ahead again." Luo Zhaoyin said anxiously.
"Sir, Prince, and Young Master, there is only one cell where they have detained their prisoners that has not been checked." The jailer reminded.
"Then hurry up!" Luo Zhaoyin said.
However, after they carefully checked all the people in the cells, they still did not see any sign of Tao Dahu, and the other people who were imprisoned also said that they had not seen him.
After walking out of the cell, Han Fengli said to everyone, "There's no doubt that Tao Dahu has escaped. Several people escaped from Wanhua Tower last night."
At this moment, a guard hurried over. Seeing Luo Zhaoyin and the others, he quickly said, "Sir, sir, Prince Jing, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Justice are all here and are now in the lobby."
"Okay! Let's go there now." Luo Zhaoyin said.
They all rushed to the lobby quickly.
In the lobby, everyone exchanged a few pleasantries. In order not to interfere with their investigation, Prince Xin left with his son and daughter.
Han Fengli and Chu Chenjing said a few words, then hurriedly followed him away.
In the lobby, Prince Jing, the Chief Justice, the Minister of Justice, as well as the Fourth Prince Chu Chenyan and the Fifth Prince Chu Chenye who had just arrived, were all listening to Lord Luo's introduction to the situation.
Lord Luo paused at the end of his speech and said in a deep voice, "Prince Jing, the kidnappers who kidnapped Princess Ronghui, one named Tao Dahu is missing, and the other named Tiezi is dead."
"One ran away and the other died." said the Minister of Justice.
"Lord Luo, when did that man die?" the Dali Temple Minister asked in a deep voice.
"Just now, I led Prince Xin and others to look for the people who kidnapped the princess. When we found them, we discovered that they were already dead in prison." Luo Zhaoyin said helplessly.
"Died in prison? Did the coroner investigate? How did he die?" Chu Chenjing stared at Luo Zhaoyin and said.
Luo Zhaoyin shook his head slightly and said, "Prince Jing, our two coroners have gone to Wanhua Tower, and the other has returned to his hometown on leave. I have already sent someone to the Dali Temple to borrow someone else."
Chu Chenjing nodded slightly, then said, "The Fourth Prince is here, let him go check it out." He then said to Chu Chenyan, "Fourth brother, go check it out later."
"Okay, third brother." Chu Chenyan responded, his eyes lighting up. Chu Chenyan became excited whenever medicine was mentioned.
They first roughly divided the work among themselves.
At this moment, the young guard who had gone to the Dali Temple earlier came in with a coroner from the Dali Temple and said respectfully to Luo Zhaoyin, "Sir, the coroner Xiao is here."
"Well, it's just right that you're here. I'll take him and the Fourth Prince to have a check-up together." Luo Zhaoyin said.
When Xiao the coroner saw that Prince Jing and several other princes were present, and that his own master was also present, he knew that the matter was serious. He quickly saluted them.
"Okay, no need to be so polite. Just go with Lord Luo and check it out." Chu Chenjing said quickly.
Luo Zhaoyin led the Fourth Prince and Xiao the coroner to the cell for inspection.
Chu Chenjing and the other four walked together towards the interrogation room behind Jingzhao Mansion.
They wanted to see whether the interrogation of the four main figures in Wanhua Tower was effective and whether they had any explanation.
There are more than ten interrogation rooms in Jingzhao Prefecture, which are actually execution rooms.
