Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"Brother Cao found a capable person who found out the words 'Renhe' engraved on the silver needle. The silver needle is so thin, but it still needs words to be engraved on it. Such skills are not something that ordinary blacksmiths can have. What's more, even if we can't find this craftsman, we can continue to investigate the two words 'Renhe' and we will definitely find some clues!"

"I have been searching for a long time but have not found any news. Now I have found it without any effort. Don't you think this news is a bit too coincidental?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xu immediately frowned and retorted.

"I know you care about the prince, but this man is a talented person that Brother Cao has gone through so much trouble to find. It's fine if you don't believe me, but you don't believe your own cousin either, do you?"

"I didn't mean that."

Xu Xingyin had no idea what was wrong with Lu Xu today, so he just went along with what he said.

"I can't trust others, so why can't I trust you and my cousin? I'm just afraid that you'll fall into someone else's trap and cause you more trouble."

When Lu Xu heard this, his expression improved a little.

"You guys take a break first. Official Song Tui just went out and will probably be back soon."

"it is good."

Xu Xingyin and Tian Tian sat for about half an incense stick of time before Song Tuiguan came back with a tired look on his face. When he saw the two of them, he nodded slightly and greeted them.

Finally, he sighed again.

"I never thought that this matter would involve so many people. If I had found out the truth earlier, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be under house arrest by His Majesty now."

"Does Magistrate Song believe that the Crown Prince is innocent?"

Song Tuiguan smiled when he heard this, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is a good person, and I know him well. He would never do such a petty thing. Although sacrifices are inevitable in court struggles, Your Highness the Crown Prince would never hurt the people. Moreover, all the evidence now points directly to Your Highness the Crown Prince. Don't you think it's too coincidental, Miss Xu Qi?"

"What Magistrate Song said is absolutely right." Xu Xingyin nodded, "But this matter is not Magistrate Song's fault, I hope you can be at ease."

"Thank you Miss Xu Qi for your comfort." Magistrate Song smiled and nodded in thanks, then turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "Please come in, both of you."

As soon as Magistrate Song arrived, everyone put aside their previous attitudes and seriously discussed how to continue the investigation.

Although Judge Song also felt that the silver needle clue came somewhat "coincidentally", but in the absence of other evidence, they could only continue to investigate along this clue.

Lu Xu and Cao Tianhe each led a team. Lu Xu was responsible for continuing to investigate the silver needle craftsmen, while Cao Tianhe was responsible for investigating the origin of the word "Renhe".

Xu Xingyin and Tian Tian stayed in Shuntian Prefecture, along with Song Tuiguan...

Drink tea.

Xu Xingyin admitted that Song Tui Guan's posture in making tea was smooth and beautiful.

But now that the case is still unclear, how can she have the mind to drink tea?

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but become a little restless, fidgeting with his fingers.

Magistrate Song naturally saw it as well. He poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Xu Xingyin, saying with a smile.

"The more critical the moment, the more you need to stay calm. For those of us who seek justice for others, the most taboo is impetuousness. Anxiety can't eat hot tofu, and it will also disturb people's minds. Miss Xu Qi, you must remember this."

After receiving the reminder, Xu Xingyin came back to his senses, took the tea and nodded in thanks.

He followed the example of Tui Guan Song and reorganized the clues he had obtained in his mind while sipping tea.

Tian Zitao died of poisoning. In order to cover up the murderer, Qionghua confessed to the crime, but then for some reason she changed her confession and was killed for it.

Then, victims of the Silver Needle Case began to appear one after another in the capital, and...

and many more!

They may have overlooked two extremely important clues!

First, what was the real cause of Tian Zitao’s death?

At that time, they learned that the real cause of Tian Zitao's death was not food incompatibility. Later, after Xu Xingyin and others learned about Yin Zhen's serial crime method, they examined Tian Zitao's body again.

No silver needle was found at Tian Zitao's Baiguan acupoint, and there was a small dark mole at Tian Zitao's Baiguan acupoint. In addition, the body had already decayed, so it was impossible to confirm whether there had been any external injuries there.

Although the silver needle was not found, it has been a long time since then, and we cannot rule out the possibility that the murderer had already taken out the silver needle.

If we make a small assumption that Tian Zitao also died from acupuncture with silver needles, then Tian Zitao would be the first victim of the silver needle serial case!

Second, why did Qionghua want to cover up the real murderer?

Why did he then repent?

When they found out about this, Lu Xu learned about the Silver Needle Serial Murder Case, so their investigation direction shifted from "Silver Needle" to "Serial Murder", trying to find the connection between the multiple victims, but they overlooked a very important point.

Even though Qionghua is also one of the victims in the serial murder case, she is different from all the other victims. One obvious point is -

Qionghua knows the real murderer!

Therefore, the murderer's motive for killing Qionghua is fundamentally different from that of others.

Moreover, this time Lai Xiangyan also provided him with a very important clue. The reason why the night watchman died was most likely that he ran into the crime scene of the murderer.

In this case, leaving aside Qionghua and the night watchman, the other victims were indeed mostly court officials and their families. If so, what do these people have in common?

Compared to the silver needle that everyone has high hopes for, the answer to uncovering the truth may also be worth further investigation into the matter of the Qionghua.

Xu Xingyin slammed the teacup onto the table with a bang, and Tui Guan Song was so frightened that half of his tea spilled.

"What...what happened?"

"Official Song! I think we have overlooked an important clue!"

"what?"

Xu Xingyin told Judge Song everything he had just figured out. After all, Judge Song was a person who was used to handling cases, so as soon as Xu Xingyin mentioned it briefly, Judge Song figured out all the twists and turns in the matter.

As soon as Xu Xingyin finished speaking, Magistrate Song spoke.

"Miss Xu Qi's words make sense. In this case, I will send someone to bring the people involved in the case from Yichunyuan for further questioning. If there is anything I have missed, just fill it in."

Xu Xingyin and Tian Tian both nodded in agreement, and Tuiguan Song immediately sent someone to invite Yichunyuan's mother and Qionghua's personal maid to come together.

An hour later, Jinhua's mother arrived at Yichunyuan as called.

Mother Jinhua walked into the hall, twisting her slender waist. Before Magistrate Song opened his mouth, people on the other side started complaining.

"Oh, sir, wasn't Mr. Tian's case closed last time? Why are you calling me here again this time? We in Yichunyuan are just small businesses, and we can't stand being summoned every few days!"

"I didn't know that mom valued us so much. Would a word from you affect the business? If that's the case, it would be better to ask a few brothers to help mom clean up the people in Yichunyuan, so that they won't have to find excuses to slack off as soon as mom leaves the house."
