Daily life in Kaifeng dormitory

Ni Yexin was taken aback, and Chi Long and Zhao Yin beside him were also taken aback.

Chi Long couldn't hold back his thoughts, he was straightforward, and immediately said: "My lord, this...now that two members of the Feng family have died, should we just leave like this?"

Zhao Yin hurriedly tugged Chi Long secretly, and Chi Long barely closed his mouth.

Prince Jing smiled, didn't look up at them, was still playing with the teacup in his hand, seemed to be thinking about something, and said absent-mindedly: "You guys go and investigate other cases, it's good that the king is here."

Ni Yexin lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, my lord."

Only now did Prince Jing look up at Ni Yexin, and said, "Okay, you guys go. I won't bother you to rest."

The three saluted and were about to go back to the room. Prince Jing suddenly put the cup on the table and said, "Guard Ni."

"The humble job is here." Ni Ye felt a headache and turned around quickly.

King Jing paused for a moment and said, "Do you know the young master who left just now?"

just left...

Ni Yexin knew who Jing Wang was referring to without thinking, and it must be Murong's love.

Ni Yexin said calmly: "We met by chance."

King Jing said, "Do you know his name?"

"This..." Ni Yexin said: "The humble official asked, but the young master didn't answer."

When King Jing heard this, he suddenly laughed, and he didn't know what he thought of, he just said: "Okay, you go, there's nothing else to do."

Ni Yexin hurriedly backed away, walked to her room, and when she turned to leave, she heard Jing Wang muttering again in a low voice.

"It's so similar..."

Ni Yexin didn't change his face when he told the lie, and quickly went back to the room, closed the door gently, blocking the connection with the outside, and then leaned against the door panel to breathe a sigh of relief.

"meet by chance?"

In the quiet room, a voice spoke slowly.

Ni Yexin was startled, and after a closer look, Murong Changqing was actually sitting on a chair not far away, drinking tea with his legs crossed.

Ni Yexin hurriedly unbolted the door, then trotted over, and said, "Shhh, keep your voice down, Hero Murong, how did you get in, didn't you go back to your room?"

Murong Changqing drank his tea and raised his eyelids slightly.Ni Yexin looked over and saw a window in his room was open.

Ni Yexin quickly ran over and closed the window.

Murong Changqing went back to the room, but the voices outside could be heard clearly. Hearing that the prince refused to let Ni Yexin continue to investigate the case, he couldn't sit still, so he went through the window and entered Ni Yexin's room without anyone noticing.

Ni Yexin closed the window and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know why."

Murong Changqing sneered, and said, "What did you do here? It's to prevent you from investigating the case!"

Ni Yexin frowned, and said: "The murderer is really taking great pride, and I really didn't expect to make King Jing travel all the way here to protect him."

"What should we do now?" Murong Chang said affectionately: "According to what the prince said, you will leave tomorrow?"

Ni Yexin said: "He is my boss, and his official rank is not only one rank higher. If I refute what he said, I will definitely not get any benefit."

Ni Yexin has been away from university for a long time, and she is no longer a reckless young man who doesn't understand anything and is emotional.King Jing is definitely in charge here, and it's not their turn to refute, and it's useless if they refute, it will attract attention instead, and they can't do anything at that time.

Murong gave him a look of disdain.

Ni Yexin clapped her hands lightly and said, "Then, we can only find out the case tonight."

Murong Chang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You already have a clue?"

Ni Yexin nodded and said, "But I don't know what the specific motive for the murder is. But I think that the motive for the murder is known to many people, and it has something to do with the water god. They all keep the secret and don't want to tell us."

"Water God." Murong frowned affectionately.

"Master Ni!"

Ni Yexin was talking to Murong Changqing, when he heard someone calling him in a low voice, like calling him Hun'er, if it was night, it might sound scary.

Murong Chang said calmly, "Chi Long is calling the window."

Ni Yexin: "..."

At this time, everyone seems to be very resourceful, and they all know to avoid those people in the yard by the window.

As soon as Ni Yexin opened the window, Chi Long and Zhao Yin were both cats outside the window. They quickly rolled over and closed the window again.

Ni Yexin said, "Why are you here?"

As soon as Chi Long was about to speak, he saw Murong Changqing, and suddenly realized: "So you're here, Mr. Murong."

Zhao Yin just glanced at Murong Changqing indifferently, and said: "Master Ni, you asked us to investigate the corpse. There is no corpse nearby, but someone is selling the corpse."

"What? There are still people selling corpses?" Ni Yexin was a little surprised.

People in small places are more superstitious, and there are not many doctors, so there are many and weird folk remedies, which require the use of human flesh and blood.If there are people nearby who cannot afford to eat, they will sell the corpses of their dead relatives in exchange for some money to feed their families.Anyway, many poor people don't have the money to buy coffins for burial. When they die, they just wrap them in broken straw mats and bury them casually. There is nothing left. They can exchange some money now.

Ni Yexin frowned when she heard that, there are still people who dare to eat dead people, and they are not afraid of what will happen to them if they eat them.

Chi Long said: "It's true that someone bought a corpse, we found out."

The mummy is a healthy male corpse, at an upright age. Not many people die at this age, and even fewer are willing to sell such corpses. As soon as the two of them inquired, they found out.

Zhao Yin gave those people a little money, and they talked about it.

Zhao Yin said: "A man bought the corpse, about two and a half months ago."

"Two and a half months ago." Ni Yexin asked, "How did that person die?"

Zhao Yin said again: "I heard that he was bitten by a poisonous snake when he went up the mountain to cut firewood, and he was dead when he was found."

"I was bitten by a snake." Ni Yexin said: "Did it bite on the arm, and it was the right arm."

Chi Long was taken aback and said, "Master Ni, how do you know?"

Ni Yexin murmured: "No wonder, it's really a good way to kill two birds with one stone."

Murong Changqing frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Ni Yexin said: "It seems that Feng Qian really tried his best and thought of various ways to interfere with our judgment."

"Feng Qian?" Murong said affectionately, "He really has a problem."

Ni Yexin said: "Do you still remember the difference between Feng Qian and Feng Gu?"

Zhao Yin said: "Is there a birthmark on the left arm?"

Ni Yexin nodded and said, "Maybe the mummy is really not Feng Gu, it's just a casually found corpse. This corpse doesn't need to be the same or similar in appearance to Feng Gu, it just needs to have a similar body shape."

A man who was very similar in stature to Feng Gu died, but he was bitten by a snake on his right arm, apparently due to the attack of the snake's venom.

Ni Yexin said: "The right arm of the corpse must have been festered and swollen when the snake venom occurred. Even if such a corpse is embalmed, it may look flawed. So simply, someone chopped off the right arm of the corpse, but It is so weird to cut off the right arm. Ordinary people will unconsciously think, why cut off the right arm of the corpse? What does this mean? So some people keep doing two things and cut off both arms of the corpse. It was cut down. In this way, everyone will fall into a pre-set trap."

The corpse was missing two forearms, and the difference between Feng Gu and Feng Qian was the birthmark on the left forearm.Coincidentally, at this time, Feng Qian injured his left hand again, and the birthmark on his arm could not be recognized at all.

Chi Long said in shock: "This...Feng Qian did it on purpose? Why did he do this?"

Ni Yexin said: "It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone. It not only solves the problem of the corpse, but also shifts everyone's attention to a strange place unconsciously. This is not the first time Feng Qian is covering for the murderer."

With the matter of the jade pendant and the matter of the left arm, Feng Qian's behavior is indeed very strange.

Zhao Yin said: "Master Ni, is it true that the murderer is Feng Gu? Where is Feng Gu now?"

Ni Yexin shook her head and said, "It should not be in the mansion."

After Ni Yexin finished speaking, there was silence for a while, and the room became quiet, and no one spoke.

Suddenly, Murong Changqing frowned and said, "Something must have happened."

"What?" Ni Yexin asked strangely.

Just a moment later, there were noisy footsteps outside, and someone ran into the yard in a panic, shouting: "My lord, my lord Ni! It's not good! The old housekeeper is dead!"

When Ni Yexin heard the sound, she immediately turned around, opened the door and rushed out.

It was a member of the Feng family who came to inform them. His face was not very good at the moment, and he was out of breath. When he saw Ni Yexin, he immediately said, "Master Ni, the old housekeeper is dead!"

Ni Yexin asked: "What's going on?!"

The servant panicked and said, "Yes... the old butler committed suicide, hanged himself, and we just found his... his body."

"Hanging? Suicide?" Ni Ye was taken aback.

The servant's voice was loud, and everyone in the yard was alarmed. Lord Jing's door was also opened, and he walked out.

Ni Yexin immediately followed the servant to the place where the old butler's accident happened, not daring to delay for a moment.

The old butler died in his own room, and the body had not been taken down, and was hanging from the beam.

Someone also found a letter next to the old housekeeper's body. It seems that it should have been written not long ago, and the ink is very new.

At this moment, a bunch of people had already come, and almost all the members of the Feng family gathered here, discussing in low voices.

As soon as Ni Yexin came over, she heard the eldest lady's little maid say, "I didn't expect the old housekeeper to kill the second young master and the third master."

"What did you say?" Ni Yexin asked her immediately.

The maid said: "The old butler left a suicide note and committed suicide. The letter said that he killed those two people."
