Madam Qiu woke up in a daze, and when she saw Governor Cao, she took a deep breath with difficulty.

"Sir, sir... my son, why did my son die?"

“Why did my son die?”

Governor Cao took a deep breath and said, "Why? I want to know why too. He had a sharp blade on him, and before I could make a judgment, he committed suicide."

Mrs. Qiu burst into tears: "Impossible, why would my son commit suicide when he was fine?"

"I would also like to know why. The case is under investigation."

Madam Qiu lost control of her emotions: "Is it you? You abused him and frightened him, and he couldn't bear it, so he..."

Governor Cao shouted, "Madam Qiu, be careful with your words! You need evidence to speak. Your son is not a good person. If he had not committed any crime, how could he be in prison? He hired someone to poison someone with the intention of killing for money. How can you call this a good person?"

"Moreover, he came with a sharp knife when he entered prison, and he hid it carefully. It is obvious that he had planned it deliberately, and it was definitely not because he couldn't bear it anymore that he committed suicide."

Seeing that he was angry, Mrs. Qiu was also a little scared. She just cried and dared not say anything else.

Master Qiu wiped his eyes and said, "My lord, I was just too sad and said something wrong. It was not intentional. Please don't be offended."

Governor Cao frowned and said nothing.

Cui Chong said at the side: "My Lord has also been troubled by this matter. You know, his suicide has caused a lot of trouble for my Lord and us."

"No one wants Qiu Keshi to commit suicide. We understand your feelings, but it is impossible to make trouble and cover up the crime."

"It doesn't mean that all his mistakes will be wiped out once he dies!"

Governor Cao nodded, feeling very proud that the people under him were also very good.

The Qiu family was speechless and their crying became quieter.

Master Qiu sighed, "Sir, I am so sorry. It is my fault for not educating my son well. Now he is dead. I wonder if you can agree to let me take his body back so that he can rest in peace."

Governor Cao thought that if it was anyone else, he could easily be arrested, but there were still many suspicious points about Qiu Ke Shi, and it would be even more difficult to investigate if he was taken away.

Thinking of this, Governor Cao said, "Not yet."

Mr. Qiu was startled: "Why..."

"No, what I mean is, when can I get it?"

"I will inform you when the time comes," Governor Cao gave Cui Chong a look, "You go back first."

Cui rushed forward and said, "Yes, you go back first. There are still many things that the adults need to find out. Only after they find out clearly can you be taken away. So, the more you cooperate, the sooner you can be taken away."

Master Qiu pursed his lips and said, "Sir, even if my son was wrong, he is dead. When a person dies, it is all over. What else is there to investigate?"

"The dead should be buried in peace. Please let me take him away and bury him as soon as possible."

"Even if he did something wrong, the man is dead, isn't that enough?"

Mr. Qiu wiped his tears and pleaded earnestly.

Governor Cao looked him over for a few seconds and was about to speak when someone came to announce, "Sir, the princess is here."

Governor Cao said to the Qiu family, "You go back first. I will notify you when I can bring him back."

"grown ups……"

"Go back."

Governor Cao signaled to Cui Chong with his eyes to send the Qiu family away.

When he saw Yan Ruyu in the front hall, Governor Cao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Princess, I'm sorry for the long wait. Your humble servant..."

"I saw it," Yan Ruyu nodded, "I just looked over there for a long time. Sir, do you see anything wrong?"

Governor Cao nodded solemnly: "Indeed, the Qiu family members have different reactions to Qiu Keshi's death."

"Mrs. Qiu cried so hard that her lungs were torn apart. She even fainted several times. She was really sad."

"Master Qiu, then..." Governor Cao frowned, "It's hard to say."

Yan Ruyu said calmly: "It's okay, take your time, it's okay if you can't explain it well."

Governor Cao cleared his throat and said, "I just feel that Mr. Qiu is a little... pretending to be sad, mainly because he is thinking..."

"Take Qiu Keshi's body back."

Governor Cao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's the feeling."

Yan Ruyu stood up and asked, "Where is Qiu Keshi's body?"

"Do you want to see it, Princess? It's still in the cell, it hasn't moved."

"Go and see."

Governor Cao felt inexplicably relieved. The reason why he did not allow anyone to touch Qiu Keshi's body was that he was actually hoping that the princess would come and take a look. Maybe there would be some new discoveries that could lead to progress.

Yan Ruyu was also a little surprised when she saw the wounds on Qiu Keshi's body.

Governor Cao said from the side: "Princess, please look at this knife, how decisive it is! It shows that he has no intention of living at all, and only wants to die."

Yan Ruyu nodded, and Governor Cao handed over the autopsy record written by the coroner.

"Princess, please take a look."

Yan Ruyu took it and looked at it carefully. The coroner had examined it very carefully and there was no omission.

There was only one wound on his body.

But this is not what Yan Ruyu wants to see.

The records are so detailed that it is impossible for someone to disguise himself and not be discovered.

She held the record in her hand and switched her eyes to look inside Qiu Keshi's body.

Are there any hidden weapons like thin needles?

not at all.

Then, we need to look at what Lu Hu once mentioned, that is, Qiu Ke Shi’s right arm was injured when he fell from a frightened horse.

There was indeed a bone injury on the right arm, which healed later.

Yan Ruyu was puzzled. There was no disguise and the bone injuries were still there, which meant that this was definitely Qiuke Stone.

There is no disguise or substitution.

That's strange, why did this person change so much and why did he suddenly make up his mind to die.

It's strange.

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, thinking about the key.

"princess?"

Yan Ruyu came back to her senses and switched back to her eyes state.

"Princess, what do you think of the situation?"

"Nothing special. The coroner did a good job of examining me. There were no mistakes."

Yan Ruyu handed the record back and said, "However, there are indeed many doubts about this matter. My opinion is the same as yours. For the time being, put the body in the morgue and don't let the Qiu family take it back."

"well."

Yan Ruyu looked at Qiu Keshi's body and said, "As for when to collect it, wait until I have verified one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Governor Cao asked curiously.

"First verify it, then inform the adults."

Yan Ruyu and Governor Cao walked out. Just as they reached the front hall, Cui Chong came to report: "Princess, sir, Beibei and Zhao Yan are here, and they brought a girl with them."

Yan Ruyu chuckled: "Very efficient. Okay, let them in."

"Sir, don't you want to know something and verify something? Here you are."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Sir, could you please step aside for a moment?"

Governor Cao was startled, and Yan Ruyu gestured, "Hide there and listen."

Cao Ci Ming didn't understand what she meant, but was happy to listen to her. He immediately stood up and went to the side door and lowered the curtain.

Soon, Beibei and Zhao Yan came to the front hall with a woman.

Yan Ruyu looked up.
