As soon as Su Mian opened her eyes, she was accused of "poisoning the regent."
She was pressed against the wall of the Prison Department, and received the cold gaze of Prince Regent Pei Zhiyu.
"Tell me, who ordered you to poison me?" The man's voice sounded like ice, but Su Mian could only see the blue-purple blood stains on the dead man's fingertips - that's it? The method of delayed poisoning was not as sophisticated as the dismemberment case she dissected last time.
Facing Pei Zhiyu's cold sword, she identified the body: "The poison was wrapped in beeswax, and the temperature was controlled by ice. The murderer calculated the meal process and the storage location of the evidence, in order to delay the poisoning."
The man lifted her chin and looked at her: "How can a banquet maid be able to distinguish poisons like a god?"
She met his gaze without any fear: "If the prince wants to kill me, why do you need to ask more questions?"
No one could have imagined at that time that this chess piece would split layers of fog.
There are tampered memorials hidden in old cases; in the mansions of powerful people, there are poisons that were not recorded in the "Resolution of Wrongs"; even in the rain in the capital, there is the lingering smell of blood - that is the blood of the old dynasty and the disaster of the New Deal.
She spoke with her sword, and he paved the way with his power.
He once said boldly: "How can I, the king's prison chief, allow you to be so presumptuous?" Later, he angrily criticized the prosecutor for her: "Su Mian's autopsy knife is more effective than your memorial!"
She once thought that "the examiner is as careful as a rock", until one night beside the corpse pile, the corners of his black robe swept over the corpses at her feet, and whispered: "The world you want is clear, and I will find it with you."
When modern forensic knowledge collides with ancient prisons, the desire for power is involved in the whirlpool of old cases:
There are too many unspoken words hidden in Dasheng's fragments.
There was an injustice she wanted to avenge, a way he wanted to uphold, and when the rain fell, that unexplainable bond——
It seemed that from the day she raised the autopsy knife, this power chess game had already fallen into her hands and moved his heart.
Purpose: It is not just a class counterattack, but also uses the collision of forensic knowledge and the old system to interrogate the absurdity of "one's birth determines one's status" and "women are inferior to men", and explore "what is true equality".
