Chapter 21 Live

When He Kunjin came to the Princess Mansion, Qin Shuo, the other Dali Temple officials and everyone in the Princess Mansion had been waiting for a long time.When the uncle and nephew exchanged glances and exchanged news with each other while everyone saluted and greeted each other, He Kunjin also learned from this that aside from the involvement behind it, this case alone In itself, it is already quite tricky.

She looked at the haggard woman not far away, and she was quite surprised, because according to the customs of this dynasty, as a princess, He Ying didn't have to mourn for her son-in-law, let alone the heaviest burden. decline.Looking at the woman's red and swollen eyes and the obvious swaying when she walked, He Kunjin thought to herself, maybe the rumors in the world that the second princess has a deep relationship with her husband and wife are true.

Take two quick steps, follow behind He Ying, and say softly, "Sister Huang, my condolences."

He Ying stopped and looked at He Kunjin suspiciously for a long time, as if it took a lot of effort to dig out this legendary "third brother" from the ruins of memory.She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't find the right words in embarrassment, she struggled in every possible way, and finally said: "A Yun's matter, please third brother."

"It's natural, please don't worry, sister Huang." He Kunjin smiled wryly in her heart, did she dare to say that this sister Huang didn't even remember her own name? "It's just..." Thinking about the reason for her visit this time, she put aside the ridiculous sibling relationship for the time being, and didn't bother to make sidelines, so she asked directly: "I don't know if the emperor would like to tell me about my brother-in-law. Son? What kind of person is my brother-in-law, what do I like to do on weekdays, what special habits do I have, and have I ever had any grudges with others?"

He Ying frowned, and was very displeased with this strange younger brother's question, but out of politeness, she finally answered: "Ayun, he...is a good man. Frail, a pure literati. He...I can't think of anyone he would have a grudge against..."

"only?"

"...It's just, huh," a sarcastic smile bloomed on her face, "Well, man, maybe he died because of being too popular, don't you think so, third brother?" He Kunjin left no chance for questioning.

"..." Aren't they two very affectionate husband and wife?

After a while, everyone stepped into this rather remote courtyard in the Princess Mansion. There were a few bare tree trunks, and the snow on the ground had not completely melted, and there was an inexplicable sense of bleakness and desolation everywhere.He Kunjin slowed down, trying to find something from the snow in the yard and in the corners, but three days had passed since the crime happened, and all kinds of footprints and traces coming and going had already put away things related to the case. After being ruined completely, she moved the fingers in her sleeve with some headaches.

"We tried our best to maintain the scene of the crime, but you have been in contact with Ding Yan, A Jin. You should know the temper of this former general. He didn't even give us a chance for an autopsy, so he was buried angrily. "Qin Shuo approached He Kunjin and whispered, "Fortunately, he is coming today, otherwise..."

"Well, uncle..." Frowning, he looked at the unremarkable room from afar, and then turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard. The brass lock on the door is quite new, perhaps because it is often used, and there is not much copper rust. "Does brother-in-law often come to this remote courtyard? Did uncle ask why? Did sister Huang know?"

"I don't know if Your Highness the Princess knows about it, but judging by His Highness's attitude, even if she knew about it, she should have discovered it not long ago. Judging from the confession of the servants in the mansion, the son-in-law will indeed come here from time to time since the beginning of the year. And he came to this courtyard to avoid the crowd on purpose, and the servants who knew more or less were also given a gag order. And the only person who may know the reason why he came here disappeared at this juncture."

"Oh?"

"It's one of his personal maids. She has disappeared since the incident and has not been found so far."

"The concubine's personal maid?" Combined with the attitude of the imperial sister just now, maybe this maid is not just a personal servant?

"Well, I heard that it was a poor girl from a border town who sold herself as a maidservant to the princess mansion. She was only a rough servant girl, but somehow she was promoted by the son-in-law as a personal maidservant. Not very old, about twenty-eight years old."

"Where can such a woman from the border town escape to without relatives or reason?" He Kunjin was talking to herself, looking around, and slowly entered the room where the crime occurred. The strong visual impact and bloody nose made He Kunjin's body tremble. Something buried deep in the memory was about to break out, and a drop of cold sweat hung on the bridge of his nose.

"Qing'er."

The calm call from the bottom of her heart dragged He Kunjin back to reality at the very moment. She turned her head slightly, and cast a grateful look at the uncle who used spiritual power to rein in the horse's hoof at the edge of the abyss.She took a deep breath, restrained her emotions and looked at the terrifying room again.

The dark brown dry blood stains all over the ground exude a disgusting stench, drawn end to end in a complicated circular pattern on the ground; the candles placed around the pattern are tilted here and there, and none of them have been lit; these candles, Some were just spattered with three or two spots of blood, while others were covered in blood.And at the end of the blood map closest to the house, there is a pool of blood that flows in all directions but seems to have been wiped off, completely destroying the sense of ritual of the blood map; In this pool of blood, it can be seen from the direction of the blood pool that these fragments must have been moved when the corpse was carried away.

He Kunjin's hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and she forced herself to examine the all-too-familiar Yi Sect sacrificial formation.She read the strange words written in blood, judging the type of array; she counted the number of candles, looking for clues; The scene is secretly depicted in my heart.

"The array is not complete, and the type cannot be seen, but there are too many candles. If it is done by the Yi Cultists, then what happened when committing the crime, so that the Yi Cultists who pay great attention to the sense of ritual will risk being punished by Vulcan , left with a half-finished formation and left without leaving any bloody footprints? As for the ceramics... If I guessed correctly, it should be a jar? A murder weapon?"

"It's two jars." Wei Kang's voice sounded from behind, "Maybe some fragments were taken away when the corpse was transported, but judging from the fragments here, it must be two jars. Two identical jars ."

"Are you sure?" Qin Shuo was a little excited.

"If you don't believe me, you can find someone to put the pieces together."

Two jars?He Kunjin turned her gaze to the surroundings, and saw a table standing in front of the pool of blood, on which were rolled down a few candles that were the same as those on the ground, and nothing else.She tiptoed to the table, reached out and touched the scratches on the edge of the table; she pressed the corner of the table with her palm, and the table shook back and forth a few times; she bent down and picked up two or three pieces from the pool of blood and even fragments , Pick it up and take a closer look.Nodding secretly, she secretly remembered what she saw at this time.

She stood up and looked back and forth, only to see that there was no window in this rather small room; she checked every corner carefully, and found no secret door or passage.Her eyes were inadvertently attracted by a few sudden dark brown spots, she followed the brown direction, raised her head, and looked at the beams of the house.

"Is the door bolted from the inside?"

"That's right, Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't see the son-in-law for a long time that day, so she sent someone to look for it. The two servants searched the entire Princess Mansion, and only then did they learn that the son-in-law had been here from the maid in charge of cleaning the yard. They Smelling blood at the door of the room, in a moment of impatience, I used an ax to open the door and found the body. The two were together from the beginning to the end. We interrogated them separately, and the confessions were completely consistent. It does not seem to be fake, it should be Exactly."
