Bab 442: Zhang San

"Your Excellency, you're flattering me," the coroner replied with a smile.

He followed the guard to the court and began to investigate the cause of Zhang Si's death.

After such an examination, he agreed with the guard. This person had been poisoned and died of drowning.

"Your Excellency, the victim was indeed poisoned, but he didn't die of it. The poison would have made him unconscious at best." The medical examiner thought for a moment and added, "He was pressed into the water and drowned after he lost consciousness. There were a few handprints on the back of the victim's neck, enough to determine that the victim had been held by the neck and drowned."

Therefore, the cause of Zhang Si's death was clear.

The court official nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang San said, "Perhaps Marquis Dingyuan poisoned him and saw that the poison wouldn't kill him, so he pressed him into the water and let him drown."
