Jinyiwei factory flower base love story

Duan Mingchen stared at the neat running script on the rice paper, and read it out gently.

Top ten doubts in this case:

[-]. Who wrote the threatening letter to the Queen Mother, and what is the purpose?

[-]. Why did the queen mother suddenly change her temperament?

[-]. Why did the Queen Mother strangle Wang Momo to death?Is it related to Concubine Zhuang?

[-]. Why do Persian cats suddenly go berserk and attack their owners?

[-]. How could the golden hairpin of the noble concubine and the yellow sand on the window sill appear in the Palace of Compassion?

[-]. Why did the Queen Mother lose one piece of her inner garment?

[-]. How was the murder weapon brought into the bedroom? Was it the acupuncture needles of Imperial Physician Lu?

[-]. What are the burnt notes and black lumps in Qian Xi's residence?

[-]. How many murderers are there?

[-]. Who is the woman in red who appeared in Qionghua Palace late at night?What is her relationship with Concubine Zhuang?

After Duan Mingchen finished reading the tenth article, he frowned and asked, "The first nine articles are all right, but where did the woman in the red dress come from at the end?"

Gu Huaiqing explained: "Today when Liang Wan mentioned Concubine Zhuang, I suddenly remembered that a month ago, when you ignored me, one night when I was on duty in the palace, I heard a woman crying from Qionghua Palace. The Qionghua Palace was originally the place where Concubine Zhuang lived. I was curious, so I went into the Qionghua Palace to investigate, but found no figure, only a brazier with burnt paper money in it. When I left Qionghua Palace, I was far away. I saw a red shadow appearing in the corner, it looks like a woman."

"Why didn't you catch up then?"

"I was about to catch up, but I ran into my adoptive father and was stopped by him." Gu Huaiqing paused hesitantly before continuing to explain, "Although Concubine Zhuang passed away a few years ago, maybe the palace There are still people in the palace who miss her and burn paper money for her in Qionghua Palace. Although private sacrifices are forbidden in the palace, in fact this kind of behavior is very difficult to stop. Most of the time we just turn a blind eye and close it One eye, don't go into it."

"Concubine Zhuang..." Duan Mingchen frowned, "I don't know much about the affairs in the palace, but I have heard people say that Concubine Zhuang was once favored by the late emperor, but why was she convicted and sent to the cold palace?"

Gu Huaiqing sighed and said: "Speaking of Concubine Zhuang and the Liu family, it is really a tragedy. Concubine Zhuang's original name was Liu Yuanzhen, a person from the capital, but the daughter of a doctor in the capital of the Ministry of Industry. She built the Qionghua Palace, and the Jiaofang was the only favorite for a year. Although Concubine Zhuang was favored, she was not arrogant because of her gentle and calm personality, and she treated others generously and virtuously.

As for why Concubine Zhuang was convicted, so that she was thrown into the cold palace while pregnant, this is indeed a mystery.The imperial decree of the crime stated that she disrespected the emperor and disregarded filial piety, but this seemed to be a crime she wanted to impose.Concubine Zhuang must have been punished so severely because she violated some of the great taboos of the late emperor. Not only was she thrown into the cold palace and died of dystocia, but the Liu family was also implicated because of this, and was accused of indulging slaves to occupy the land. Concubine Zhuang's His father was stripped of his official position, his family property was confiscated, and his family was exiled to Liaodong.It coincided with the blizzard in Liaodong that year, and the extreme cold, dozens of members of the Liu family, old and young, all died on the way to exile, alas, it is really miserable when you think about it..."

Duan Mingchen thought for a while, and said: "That Miss Liang has stayed with the Queen Mother for eight years. She may know something about Concubine Zhuang's crime, but she may not be willing to say it."

Gu Huaiqing agreed: "I think so too. The death of Concubine Zhuang is a taboo in the palace. There are probably very few people in the palace who know the inside story back then. We have to find a way to talk to Liang Wan again. I Seeing that Liang Wan is a smart woman who understands current affairs, it depends on how to persuade her."

Duan Mingchen hummed, moved his gaze upwards, fixed on Article [-], and said slowly: "What guesses do you have about the murderer in this case?"

"Master Duan is testing me?" Gu Huaiqing squinted at the man quite complacently, "Just admit it, you are not sure this time, right? I think I will be able to find the murderer before you this time." Come on, after all, the palace is where I grew up and is my home field."

"Then Mr. Gu, who is fighting at home, come and clear up my confusion." Duan Mingchen smiled jokingly, and pinched Gu Huaiqing's face.

"Hey, just say it, don't move!" Gu Huaiqing pushed Duan Mingchen's hand away unwillingly, and said seriously, "As for the murderer, according to his judgment, the time of the Queen Mother's death was between Haishi and Zishi. During this period of time, the only ones serving the Queen Mother were Zi Ke and Qian Xi.

There are only two possibilities: first, Zi Kui and Qian Xi are innocent and did not participate in the murder, and the Queen Mother was killed by an assassin in black.The second is that the two of them participated in the crime.

Let me talk about the first possibility first.Around midnight, the black-clothed assassin sneaked into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, entered the bedroom through the window, killed the Queen Mother, and then left quietly. When leaving, he accidentally left the stolen golden hairpin in the garden, and left a golden hairpin when he stepped on the window sill. sandy soil.

There are two things that don't make sense here: First, how did the assassin escape the surveillance of the ten Dongchang guards when he entered and exited the Compassionate Ning Palace?The guards of the East Factory all confirmed that they did not see the assassins coming in and out. Unless someone among them deliberately released water, it was almost impossible to escape their eyes.

Secondly, the queen mother was killed by many needles, and the wounds were of different depths.It takes a long time to pierce so many needles, and after the pricking is over, the wound will inevitably bleed and stain the clothes and body.But when the Queen Mother was found the next day, her body was clean, with no scars or bloodstains visible.

Therefore, we can infer that the murderer entered the bedroom with a needle, restrained the Queen Mother's acupuncture points, prevented her from screaming, stabbed countless needles in the dark, killed the Queen Mother, then went outside and took a clean Underwear, came in to change for the Queen Mother, wiped off the blood on her body, took away the dirty underclothes, and then the murderer slipped out through the window, and accidentally left the stolen goods hairpin on the window sill, leaving yellow sand on the window sill earth.

But think about it, can an assassin complete such a complicated process without being noticed?Assuming that the assassin was bribed to sneak into the Palace of Compassion and Serenity to kill, why did he choose such a troublesome method?There are many ways for a top expert to make a patient who has no martial arts die silently and without visible wounds, why choose acupuncture?And how did the murderer know where the Queen Mother's underwear was kept?

If you can complete such a complicated process, you must be a very meticulous person, so how could you make a low-level mistake and leave such obvious evidence on the windowsill and in the garden? "

Duan Mingchen smiled and nodded, encouraging Gu Huaiqing to continue talking with his eyes.

Gu Huaiqing cleared his throat, and continued: "Let's talk about the second possibility, assuming that Zi Kui and Qian Xi knew about it and even participated in the crime. As you analyzed, both of them have suspicious points, and their The relationship is ambiguous, and there is a possibility of partnering to commit crimes.

But there is a problem, neither of them knows martial arts, and judging from the queen mother's scars, at least one expert used internal force to drive a needle into the queen mother's vital point, which would result in her death.The less fatal wounds on the queen mother may have been stabbed by them.

Then there is at least one murderer with strong martial arts skills, who is he?Is it the black shadow flying out of the window that Qian Xi and Zi Kui mentioned?

But if they were with the men in black, shouldn't they be protecting their companions?Why did you take the initiative to expose your accomplice?

If Zi Kui, Qian Xi and the assassin in black are not in the same group, then who is the other mysterious man with high martial arts skills?How did he escape everyone's eyes and ears and enter and leave the Queen Mother's bedroom?

There is also a puzzling question, why did Zi Kui and Qian Xi participate in the murder of the Queen Mother?Was it bought, threatened, or had other motives?You must know that murdering the Empress Dowager will be executed in a timely manner, and even implicate the nine clans.Once it is exposed, the consequences are extremely serious, and most people dare not take this risk.

What's more, for a maid like Zi Kui who served the Queen Mother personally, she could have other ways to let the Queen Mother die silently during the period when the Queen Mother was in a coma, instead of killing the Queen Mother with such unimaginable needles. "

After talking for a long time, Gu Huaiqing felt a little dissatisfied when he saw that Duan Mingchen was just listening quietly, and put his face in front of Duan Mingchen, almost reaching the bridge of the man's tall nose, "I've been talking for so long, and I'm dry. Please react..."

Gu Huaiqing's handsome face seemed to be shining under the candlelight, his porcelain-white skin could not find any pores, his glass-like clear eyes narrowed lazily, and his red lips curved charmingly, with a few A bit cunning and a bit coquettish.

Duan Mingchen's heart was hit hard, his face was slightly hot, and he secretly cursed a monster, but knowing that it was a monster, the eminent monk still couldn't help being obsessed and perverted, and he was willing to be bewitched and fallen by the monster.

"Come on, drink some water to moisturize your throat." Duan Mingchen picked up the tea bowl and brought it to Gu Huaiqing's lips, watching the blue tea soup wet the vermilion lips, and lick the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his bright red and soft tongue.Duan Mingchen's eyes became dim, and his body became hot. He wished he could hold that evildoer under his body and perform Fa-rectification on the spot.

However, Gu Huaiqing didn't have a charming mind, and his heart was still on the case, he pursed his lips and said: "I feel that there are many doubts in this case, it seems that everyone has problems, but I can't figure out the key point. Where, I always feel that something is missing..."

When Gu Huaiqing said this, he sighed in distress, closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, rubbing his thumbs against his sore temples. From early morning to late at night, his mind was constantly running at high speed, and he was an iron man. Also tired.

Duan Mingchen stood up, walked behind Gu Huaiqing, and kneaded the back of his neck and shoulders with his generous and warm palms.

Gu Huaiqing closed his eyes, with a comfortable expression on his face, relaxed his body and enjoyed Duan Mingchen's service, and commanded in his mouth: "Well... that's right, try harder... Hey, let me say, do you think my analysis just now makes sense? ah?"

Duan Mingchen let Gu Huaiqing lean on his body, massaged him, and said: "Your analysis makes sense, those doubts are indeed the key to solving the case. However, maybe we should think a little deeper.

Do you think when that threatening letter was sent?It was ten days ago.That is to say, the murderer started planning a long time ago, and the turmoil that occurred during the chrysanthemum appreciation, the queen mother was frightened by the cat and fell into a coma, and even the queen mother was tortured and killed in the end, all may be based on the murderer's script.Therefore, we can conclude that this was a well-planned murder. The planner was meticulous and familiar with the rules of the palace, so he could do it so secretly without leaving any traces.

The murderer who planned this case must have a deep hatred with the Queen Mother, maybe someone the Queen Mother offended, Concubine Zhuang may be a clue, we can follow along to investigate.But according to what you said, Concubine Zhuang's family members all died in exile, so who else is willing to take the risk of being mutilated and take revenge for her at all costs?Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be related to Concubine Zhuang. There may be other people who have enmity with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was also a powerful character back then, otherwise she wouldn't be the No. 1 in the harem. "

Gu Huaiqing squinted his eyes comfortably, enjoying Duan Mingchen's massage, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go into the palace to investigate the past affairs of Concubine Zhuang carefully, and see if I can find some clues. Find out the murderer's motive for killing the Queen Mother, and other suspicious points." Maybe it can be solved..."

Duan Mingchen hummed, and frowned slightly: "About the exact time of the queen mother's death, I actually have a slightly different opinion. Is it possible to be earlier..."

After Duan Mingchen finished speaking, he didn't get a response from Gu Huaiqing. When he looked down, Gu Huaiqing's eyelids were clenched, and he was already sleepy.

Duan Mingchen rubbed Gu Huaiqing's soft hair, and said softly: "Okay, let's not talk anymore, I'll carry you to bed, have a good night's rest, and we'll continue tomorrow."

Gu Huaiqing hummed noncommittally, and rubbed against Duan Mingchen's arms. Duan Mingchen lovingly kissed his forehead, and with a slight force of his arms, he hugged Gu Huaiqing horizontally, and walked towards the bedroom.
