Xue Gui was originally writing the case report, which was to be read by several heads at the Ministry of Justice. It was more of a prompt submission, mainly to describe the initial discoveries at the scene and the direction of the subsequent investigation.
Among them, the cause of Qin Xiuyuan's death was the first thing to clarify at the crime scene.
At first glance, it was obvious Qin Xiuyuan hadn't died a natural death, but had been killed. The preliminary cause was asphyxiation, but what led to the asphyxiation? Xue Gui suspected: swallowing some kind of drug, or caused by some kind of magic.
As for the details, Xue Gui's thought was to wait for the forensic doctor to thoroughly examine the corpse before making any deductions. But he hadn't expected that the people from Xuanqing Guard seemed to have already found some clues elsewhere.
