Mr. Kezaku
Chapter 91 Goodbye 2
Everyone watched Chu Yuyang look at the corpse, and they also looked at the prince's corpse, but they didn't see any problem at all. Could it be that the murderer left an important flaw on the corpse?
The corpse was too horrible to look at, and everyone didn't want to look at it after taking a look.
Only then did Chu Yuyang say slowly, "The second point, of course, is that he lied."
"What?" Princess Feng opened her eyes wide, her face full of shock and disbelief, and said, "Who do you say lied?"
Everyone looked at the prince's body at the same time. When Chu Yuyang spoke, he was looking at the prince's body. The "he" referred to the prince who was dead and had been stabbed sixty or seventy times.
Not only Princess Feng was surprised, but everyone else was also surprised.
Chu Yuyang asked the servant who came out to testify just now, and said, "You heard Mr. Qiao and the prince quarreling?"
The servants nodded, very firmly.
Chu Yuyang said: "But in your narration just now, I only heard one sided situation, that is, you all heard the voice of the prince scolding Young Master Qiao loudly, but none of you said anything, and heard Young Master Qiao's voice. "
The servants looked at each other, then nodded.A servant said: "It's true that I didn't hear Mr. Qiao's voice, but when the prince scolded him loudly, he called Mr. Qiao's name. We did hear that."
The prince died inside, and the servants outside could hear the prince's scolding in the room, which shows that the prince's shout was loud and his tone was very angry.Mr. Qiao is a gentle and refined person. The servants have never seen him angry, let alone speak so loudly.
Chu Yuyang said: "Just by hearing the voice, it is very imprecise to conclude that a person is in the room. This is all right now. You didn't even hear Mr. Qiao's voice. You only heard the prince called Qiao. The name of the young master, the suspect deduced from this reasoning is simply untenable."
Chu Yuyang said again: "What if the prince was the only one in the room at that time? If he yelled someone's name aloud at random, then that person would become a suspect."
The princess thought it was funny, and said: "What do you mean? It's just nonsense. You and Mr. Qiao knew each other before? Otherwise, why did you keep talking to him? The prince is already dead. Why did he lie to people before he died? What good is it for him?"
Chu Yuyang said honestly: "I really don't know why the prince lied before he died. But I don't think the prince himself knows either."
"What do you mean?"
Not only the princess was confused, but everyone also looked at Chu Yuyang.
Chu Yuyang said: "I mean, the lord probably didn't know, he was going to die at that time. The lord died very hastily, with a surprised expression on his face, I'm afraid this was beyond his expectation."
Everyone couldn't help but take another look at the corpse on the ground. The expression of the corpse was extremely distorted, with expressions of shock, surprise, fear and pain all over the face. It seemed that the death was indeed hasty.
The princess said again: "You said Mr. Qiao is not the murderer, so who is the murderer?"
Chu Yuyang said: "No outsiders have been in or out of the embassy since noon. If someone killed the prince, he must not have left. And there is not one more outsider in the embassy. That is to say, the people who killed the prince were brought by the princess. One of them, oh of course, princess, you are also one of this ranks, there are as many suspicions.”
The princess stared and said, "You, what did you say? How can I be suspicious. I have been sleeping in the room and have never stepped out of the room. How could I kill someone. My maid can testify to me."
The princess was firing like a cannonball, and the maid hurriedly said, "The princess hasn't left the room."
The maid said: "I was guarding the door of the princess's room, and I could see the room where the accident happened at a glance. The door of the room was closed all the time, and no one came in or out. Then... I saw Mr. Qiao go in..."
The room where the princess rests temporarily is not in the same yard as Young Master Qiao's room, but it's not too far away. You can see it through the gate of the yard. The maid said that if someone walks along the way, she should be able to see it.
However, at the time the maid said, the prince should have died a long time ago. Even if Mr. Qiao entered at that time, it does not mean that he is the murderer, and the time does not match.
Mr. Qiao, who has never spoken, seems to be the calmest person.But at this time, he suddenly spoke, and said: "Mr. Chu is right. It seems that the murderer can only be a member of Feng Guo in the embassy. Therefore, this matter is regarded as a scandal of Feng Guo's own family. It is really a shame for His Majesty and Chu. My lord made a joke, presumably the princess will ask someone to find out."
Mr. Qiao's words were really surprising. He said it politely, but his meaning was very clear, because the murderer could only be from Feng Guo, so he didn't want Chu Yuyang to intervene in the investigation of the case.
However, in the eyes of Princess Feng, Mr. Qiao is the most suspicious. I am afraid that if she sends someone to investigate, it is very likely that Mr. Qiao will be identified as the murderer.
This point is really unfavorable to Mr. Qiao, but Mr. Qiao just did this again. I don't know what he was thinking.
The princess was very surprised, but immediately said: "Yes, yes, family ugliness must not be publicized. I will not bother Your Majesty and Lord Chu about this matter. Let us handle it ourselves."
Chu Yuyang looked at Mr. Qiao strangely, and said, "Mr. Qiao is not from the capital? Could it be a lie?"
Mr. Qiao was taken aback. When he was in the restaurant, he did say that he was from the capital, but he didn't expect that such a troublesome thing would happen at that time.
Mr. Qiao said calmly: "Qiao is talking nonsense, please don't be offended by Mr. Chu."
Chu Yuyang frowned.
In the middle of the night, there was such an incident at the embassy, and it turned out to be a waste of time.Chu Yuyang followed Zhao Xingduan back to the palace very unhappy.
Zhao Xingduan didn't want to take care of Feng Guo's affairs at all. It wasn't just a murder case, it was very complicated to deal with, so one more thing is worse than one less.
Chu Yuyang couldn't figure it out, and said, "What does Mr. Qiao mean?"
"He might know something." Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "So what does he mean? Is he covering up the murderer?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "It's too late, let's go to bed earlier."
The originally beautiful night life was disturbed, but now it was too late, Zhao Xingduan was afraid that Chu Yuyang would be sleepy again tomorrow, so he had to let him go to rest.
The affairs of the embassy were personally in charge of Princess Feng Guo. She sent someone to thoroughly investigate the matter, and she didn't know how to do it. It was ups and downs. In less than a day, everyone in the capital knew that Feng Guo's few One of the envoys died within three days after arriving in the capital.
There were even some people who said nonsense that the prince's death was premeditated, and that none of the next few people from Feng Guolai would be able to escape, and they would all die in the capital.
Chu Yuyang thought that there was a small case to pass the time, but he was not allowed to participate in it, so as long as he didn't bother, in case something happened, Zhao Xingduan would still be embarrassed.
Duke Feng mainly lived in the capital for more than half a month, wandering around the palace every day, flattering Zhao Xingduan in various ways, but he never saw anyone in ten times.
Later, Princess Feng went to the Empress Dowager to please her.
Princess Hongxia came to Chu Yuyang's side to make a small report, saying: "The princess went to the queen mother to blow the evil wind again, why don't you seem in a hurry?"
Chu Yuyang waved her hand and said, "There's really no need to worry about this."
Although the empress dowager still held a sliver of hope in her heart, she hoped that his son would suddenly fall in love with a woman one day, and then have an heir to continue.
But for someone as old-fashioned and conservative as the empress dowager, even if his son finds a refugee woman suddenly, it is much better than a foreign woman.
That Princess Feng is a woman of a foreign race. If she really gets along with the emperor, the son she will give birth to will also have half of the blood of a foreign race.In the eyes of the empress dowager, the women of Feng Guo are not as pleasing to the eye as Chu Yuyang.
Sure enough, Princess Feng didn't get any favors from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager rewarded her with some jewels and sent her away.In the end, Princess Feng did not see the emperor either.
King Feng has been dead for a few days, and the case has not progressed, but the murderer has been identified, and it is Mr. Qiao.No one knows how the murderer was identified in the case that didn't make any progress. Anyway, Princess Feng presided over the case.
Originally, the princess would live in the capital for half a month, but the prince's body had to be taken back for burial, and Mr. Qiao still needed to be dealt with.So I'm afraid this group of people will leave soon.
Mr. Qiao is the "murderer", but he has to be taken back to Feng Guo for questioning.Moreover, the crime of killing the prince is not small. The princess means to take him back for retrial. Maybe there is someone behind Mr. Qiao who instigates him.
Chu Yuyang was not surprised at all when he heard the news, and there was another person who was not surprised at all, and that was Mr. Qiao himself. He seemed to have known early on that the princess would identify him as the murderer.
However, in the past few days, Mr. Qiao still hasn't changed much. He plays the piano all day long, sits in the courtyard of the embassy and enjoys the scenery, and doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
However, the day before Feng Guo's envoys were to leave, news suddenly spread into the capital.
The prince of Feng Guo is going to meet Zhao Xingduan.
The news was soon sent to the capital. Prince Feng heard about the envoy's stay in the capital, so he came to the capital in person, apologized to Zhao Xingduan, and then took over the matter.
This news surprised Princess Feng a lot. After all, her father is already old, and now Feng Zhinian is governed by the crown prince Feng Zhinian. Unexpectedly, Feng Zhinian would suddenly leave Feng State and come to the capital.
Chu Yuyang didn't know Feng Zhinian, and he didn't care who the crown prince of Feng Guo was.I just heard that Princess Feng couldn't leave and would continue to live, perhaps longer than half a month, and instantly felt that the future was gloomy.
Chu Yuyang decided to go out of the palace for a walk, and wanted to take Fuying outside the palace to have fun, but before Chu Yuyang had time to leave the palace, Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu had already hurried over.
As soon as Geng Zhi saw Chu Yuyang, he immediately said loudly: "Master Chu is not well!"
Chu Yuyang: "..."
Before Chu Yuyang could speak, Geng Zhi hastily took out a box and put it on the table in front of Chu Yuyang.
When Chu Yuyang saw it, he was startled. He was very familiar with this kind of brocade box. It wasn't that he had seen it many times, but the box containing the ledger was a bit similar to this box.
But this box is obviously much bigger, and it should not be a thin account book in it.
Chu Yuyang immediately opened it, and saw that there was a dagger in the box, and a piece of paper stuck in the dagger.
Chu Yuyang was shocked again, because he had just heard Mr. Qiao describe this scene two days ago, so he still remembered it fresh.
Mr. Qiao said that he saw the prince died, and there was a dagger next to him with a piece of paper stuck in it.He picked up the dagger and took off the paper on it, only to find that it was designed by someone, and the paper was blank without a single word.
Chu Yuyang's heart jumped violently, and he couldn't help thinking a lot in his head.Last time, the box was sent by someone pretending to be Mr. Tao, and it was so similar to these two boxes. Could it be that Feng Guo's matter had something to do with that person pretending to be Mr. Tao?
Chu Yuyang took off the paper from the dagger. The paper was not blank, but had words on it.
Very familiar font.
It's the kind of neat, serious, beautiful and powerful characters.
There are still very few words on the white paper: this is another competition
Geng Zhi said, "Lord Chu, what do these words mean?"
Chu Yuyang stared at those words for a long time, and was also a little dazed, not knowing what he was referring to.If what happened to Changyue last time was a competition, then what does the next competition refer to now?Could it be Mr. Qiao's case?
There was still something in the box, Chu Yuyang reached out and took it out, and there was a thin book under the dagger, but it was not an account book, but a family tree.
Chu Yuyang opened the book, there were many names on it, but Chu Yuyang saw the problem at a glance, he flipped through it quickly, until finally, he saw Mr. Qiao's name.
Mr. Qiao's name is Qiao Zhongyin, and he is indeed from the capital. From his name, he can tell that he is the second in the family. He has an older brother and two younger brothers.But for some unknown reason, Qiao Zhongyin left the capital and went to Feng Guo.
Chu Yuyang remembered what Qiao Zhongyin said that day. Qiao Zhongyin came back this time to go home and take a look, but the house of Qiao's family in the capital was gone.
It turned out that Mr. Qiao had indeed lied that day, but he lied when he was at the embassy. Qiao Zhongyin was indeed from the capital.
Chu Yuyang frowned, and said, "Could it be that this is another competition, is it really the case of Young Master Qiao?"
Jiang Liuwu said, "Master Qiao's case?"
There has been an uproar in the capital recently, and I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know about this case.Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi also knew about it, but it was Feng Guo's business, so it was not under the management of Dali Temple.
Chu Yuyang took the genealogy and said, "Yes, Mr. Tao... No, I don't even know his name. Anyway, he even sent me his reasons."
If Qiao Zhongyin was from the capital, then this case was related to Da Zhao, and it was not just Feng Guo's case.
Chu Yuyang had a bit of a headache. When he saw the word "goodbye" last time, he thought it must be a long time to meet again, but he didn't expect it to be quiet for so long.
Chu Yuyang suddenly felt that this person didn't leave at all, what is goodbye, he really is a person who likes to play tricks.
This time Chu Yuyang didn't go out of the palace anymore, and told Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi to let them go out of the palace to Dali Temple first, set up their hands, and bring their assistants, and wait for him to tell Zhao Xingduan With one sound, he went to the embassy to bring all the corpses and suspects over.
As soon as Zhao Xingduan came back, Chu Yuyang immediately ran over and showed Zhao Xingduan all the box, dagger and genealogy.
Zhao Xingduan immediately frowned and said, "This matter has become more complicated than before."
"What do you mean?" Chu Yuyang didn't quite understand, and looked at him strangely.
Zhao Xingduan said: "The news came from the embassy outside the palace just now that Princess Feng died."
"What?" Chu Yuyang almost jumped up in surprise, and said, "You're not kidding me, are you?"
Zhao Xingduan shook his head and said, "The body is still in the embassy, I'm going to let you go and see it."
Chu Yuyang said, "Why did you suddenly die again?"
The death of a prince of the Feng Kingdom earlier caused an uproar, but now that a princess of the Feng Kingdom has died, the capital is probably even more lively.Even if the murderer was not from Da Zhao, and the two people from Feng Guo died in the embassy, there would probably be a lot of gossip outside.And that Crown Prince Feng Zhinian is going to the capital soon.
Chu Yuyang thought about it for a while, and felt that things were becoming more and more complicated.
Chu Yuyang said: "Then I'll go and have a look, do you want to come with me?"
Zhao Xingduan shook his head and said, "Feng Zhinian will arrive in the capital around evening, I'm afraid I won't have time to go with you."
Arriving in the capital in the evening, Feng Guo is not close to the capital. Feng Zhinian's journey is extremely fast, almost [-] miles away.
Chu Yuyang was a little surprised, and said, "He didn't come prepared, did he? He didn't have good intentions, did he?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Don't worry, I can still handle a small Feng Guo."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Then I'll go first."
Princess Feng died suddenly, and the embassy was almost in chaos.
The princess's body was discovered early in the morning by her personal maid, but at that time the princess was already out of breath, and her body was cold.
When Qiao Zhongyin heard the news, he was sitting in the yard playing the piano.He is now a suspect, the identified murderer, and no one has told him the news at all.Sitting alone in the yard, he heard the sound of someone screaming and crying outside. When he stopped playing the piano, the sound of the piano stopped, and he just sat there blankly, as if in a trance.
"Your piano is beautiful."
Just when Qiao Zhongyin was in a daze, someone suddenly spoke to him.
This voice sounded nice and gentle, but Qiao Zhongyin was taken aback.He turned his head immediately, and saw a person leaning against the wall, a little far away from him.
Qiao Zhongyin looked at him in surprise, that person's face was seven to eight points similar to Qiao Zhongyin's, but the feeling was quite different.Qiao Zhongyin made people feel like a spring breeze, but that person, although he looked gentle, had a fierce aura.
The man came over and said, "I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time."
Qiao Zhongyin looked at him, with shock and joy on his face for a while, but also an indescribable sadness, and said, "I can't play as well as you."
"No," the man stood in front of him, looked down at the qin on the table, and said, "I will no longer be able to play the qin, just like you will no longer be able to practice martial arts."
Qiao Zhongyin showed a nervous look, and said, "Why? What's wrong with your hand?"
The man said: "Second brother, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that my hands are full of blood all these years, and I'm no longer suitable for playing the piano."
"Ji Yan..." Qiao Zhongyin said, "When I returned to the capital, I went to the mansion, but..."
Before Qiao Zhongyin finished speaking, the man had already said: "Second brother, there is no Qiao's house for a long time, isn't it? I haven't been there for a long time."
Qiao Zhongyin said, "Then where have you been all these years?"
The man said: "Being helpless, I have been to many places and suffered a lot, but I have also done a lot of things. Second brother, do you know? I have revenge."
Qiao Zhongyin said in surprise, "Revenge?"
The man nodded and said: "Yes, King Liang has been accused of crimes. Zhao Xingduan is the most ruthless person. Can we let him go? At this time, King Liang will live a little longer." , he will suffer more for a while. But what is death? It’s just a temporary pain. The pain that is only one step away from the throne makes them feel more uncomfortable, doesn’t it? The feeling of falling from the sky. "
Qiao Zhongyin looked at this fourth younger brother whose face resembled his own, and suddenly felt a little strange.He sighed and said, "Ji Yan, since the revenge has been avenged, you and the second brother can leave."
Qiao Jiyan shook his head and said, "I still have something to do."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Zhongyin asked.
Qiao Jiyan said: "I haven't repaid the kindness of a person. If he hadn't taken me in, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."
"Who is it?" Qiao Zhongyin asked.
Qiao Jiyan shook his head again, and said, "I can't tell my second brother."
Qiao Zhongyin frowned.
Qiao Jiyan said: "Just like the second brother, there are things that you can't tell others."
Qiao Zhongyin looked at him.
Qiao Jiyan continued: "Second brother, don't you hate being wronged by others the most? Why don't you say anything? Is it because of Feng Zhinian?"
Qiao Zhongyin looked at him in surprise.
Qiao Jiyan said: "I may know more things."
Qiao Zhongyin was even more shocked when he heard his words, and said: "It seems that you have suffered more these years than I thought."
Qiao Jiyan said, "Second brother, someone is here."
Qiao Zhongyin turned his head to look at the gate of the yard, but he still couldn't see anyone coming.He said: "Leave quickly, people will see, I'm afraid..."
Uninvited guests suddenly came to the embassy, and Qiao Jiyan's appearance not long after the princess died, anyone who saw it would feel suspicious.
Qiao Jiyan said: "I'm leaving second brother, you can go out soon."
Qiao Zhongyin was about to ask him what he meant, but it seemed too late, he heard the footsteps of someone approaching, and the voices were mixed, probably quite a few people came.
Soon, Qiao Zhongyin saw Chu Yuyang, and there were many people around Chu Yuyang.Qiao Zhongyin looked at them in surprise, and said, "Why is Master Chu here?"
Chu Yuyang smiled and said, "Of course it's investigation."
Qiao Zhongyin said: "Didn't it be agreed last time, this matter..."
Chu Yuyang didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "It was Feng Guo's business before, and I couldn't get involved, but I suddenly discovered that this matter is not purely Feng Guo's business, so I should come and have a look."
Chu Yuyang took out the family tree and handed it to Qiao Zhongyin to read.
Qiao Zhongyin was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Where did Lord Chu get this?"
Chu Yuyang was honest and said, "Someone sent it to me, but I really don't know who he is."
Qiao Zhongyin took the genealogy book, opened it carefully, couldn't help sighing, and subconsciously glanced at the place where Qiao Jiyan was standing when he left.
Chu Yuyang asked: "Mr. Qiao is from the capital?"
Qiao Zhongyin nodded, he opened the genealogy, turned to the end, and saw his own name, and of course Qiao Jiyan's name.
Seeing that Qiao Zhongyin admitted it, Chu Yuyang said, "That's fine, I'll go and see the princess's body first, Mr. Qiao, do you want to go and see it together?"
Qiao Zhongyin shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Chu can do it himself."
Chu Yuyang led the people away and went directly to the princess's room. The body had not been moved, and no one in the room entered again. At this time, it was already surrounded by people from Dali Temple.
The maid who found the princess's body was the princess's personal maid. It is said that she was the one who slept with the princess yesterday, but she was found dead early this morning.
Chu Yuyang walked in with someone. The room was clean, a bit like when the prince had an accident, but the room was bloody.
The princess died on the bed, her eyes were wide open, her expression was ferocious and distorted, her body was full of stab wounds, and her face was also covered. Roughly speaking, there were only more wounds than the prince's, and definitely not less.
The princess's face was bloody and bloody, but luckily her face could still be distinguished.There was blood all over the quilt on the bed and the bed curtains. Although it had been a long time, the smell was still very unpleasant and irritated people's nerves.
At first glance, Chu Yuyang felt that the visual impact and olfactory impact were not small, and she felt a little cramped in her stomach.
Chu Yuyang couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid the murderer has a grudge with the princess."
The prince also had a lot of knives in his body, but the scene was obviously not so horrible.
Geng Zhi asked: "Lord Chu, is there any difference between the prince's wound and the princess's wound?"
From Geng Zhi's point of view, both of them were very miserable, both of them had been stabbed many times.Chu Yuyang said last time that there are many possibilities for these stab wounds, not necessarily because of deep grievances, but also because of wanting to destroy the corpses and destroy the evidence.
Chu Yuyang pointed to the wound on the princess's body and said, "The wound is slightly different. Look at the wound on the princess. Although it was also caused by a dagger, it is obviously of different depths and the wound is very irregular."
Geng Zhi nodded, this is also the reason why the princess's body looks more horrible than the prince's, this body is more bloody.
Chu Yuyang said: "Think about it, this kind of wound should be caused by the murderer stabbing the corpse continuously, maybe he was very impatient, so the force is not constant, the severity of the wound varies, maybe the murderer still feels tired halfway through the stabbing. gone."
When Geng Zhi was told by Chu Yuyang, he thought about it, and instantly felt cold sweat on his back. This scene was too crazy and bloody, which made him have goose bumps all over his body.
Chu Yuyang said again: "As for the prince's corpse, the incisions are relatively regular."
Chu Yuyang looked at the corpse, and said to the princess's maid, "Tell me about the situation at that time."
The maid was trembling all the time looking at the princess's body. In such a bloody scene, the maid didn't faint, which is indeed pretty good.
The maid was still trembling and told the situation over and over again, and this matter had to start from a few nights ago.
Since the death of the prince, the princess has been in poor spirits. She often has nightmares and can't sleep at night.The maids are often scolded by the princess these days, and the princess is angry with these maids when she is not resting well and unhappy.
In the past few days, the maids who had been watching the night had heard the princess yelling suddenly in the middle of the night, as if she had had a nightmare, she woke up from the dream, covered in cold sweat.
The maid ran in and asked what happened, and the princess would lose her temper and yell at people, even throwing tea bowls at people.One of the maids was hit on the forehead before, and she bled a lot, but she is not doing well right now.
The maid said that she was the one who went to bed last night, and the princess lost her temper for some reason and didn't let her stay outside, so the maid had to sit on the stone steps outside the door in the cold, shivering and freezing all night .
The princess didn't go to bed early, and when it was midnight, the maid could still hear voices outside, so she probably didn't fall asleep.
After a while, the house was finally quiet, and the maid dozed off outside, but suddenly, the maid heard a shrill cry from inside the room, it was the voice of the princess.
The maid hurriedly opened the door and went in, only to find that the room was dark and the princess was sitting on the bed covered in sweat.The maid went up to ask the princess what was wrong, but the princess lost her temper, asked her who let her in, and slapped her.
When the maid said this, she covered her face with her hand. There was a spot of blood on her cheek near her neck. The maid said it was hurt by the princess' nails.
The maid ran out quickly, closed the door for the princess, and dared not go in again.
Afterwards the maid heard three or four more such shrill cries, and each time she was so frightened that she lost sleep.But she didn't dare to go in again, and just asked the princess what she needed through the door.
The princess would scold and scold her at first, but then she would not answer her words, nor would she scold her.This happened several times, and finally the room was finally quiet.
After dawn, the maid was ready to go in and wait for the princess to get up, but the princess did not respond, and the maid did not dare to go in and be scolded.But it was too late, so the maid boldly knocked on the door, but there was still no response from inside.
The maid finally decided to push the door and go in...
The maid shook her body and said, "I walked into the room with a water basin, who would have thought that the princess was dead, and the bed was covered in blood..."
Chu Yuyang asked: "When was the last time you heard the princess exclaim?"
The maid said: "I don't remember clearly, it was about... about three quarters of Yin's time."
The maid thought for a while, and then said: "That time, the princess seemed to be screaming horribly, but I... I didn't dare to go in. I asked the princess what happened through the door, but the princess didn't answer me. There was no sound, I thought the princess was asleep... the previous time, the princess didn't answer me, I thought, I thought... nothing happened..."
The maid said that Wu Zuo had finished experiencing the corpse, and the time of death was determined, and it was indeed Yinshi, which was the time when the princess yelled for the last time as the maid said.So at that time, the princess did not have a nightmare, but was really killed.
When the maid heard this, she almost passed out with her eyes turned white, she was terrified.
The maid said: "Who killed the princess? I have been sitting at the door. It is impossible for someone to enter through the door. Could it be that someone jumped in through the window and killed the princess?"
There are many windows in the princess' room, Chu Yuyang went to check and found that a few windows were not locked and could be opened from the outside.If it is said that someone jumped in through the window in the middle of the night and killed the princess, this possibility is not impossible.
However, why should the princess be killed? This is a question. What is the murderer's motive for killing?
Chu Yuyang said: "Geng Zhi, Jiang Liuwu, you lead someone to question all the people in the embassy first."
Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu immediately agreed, and took people to interrogate them.
Everyone in the embassy was trembling. After all, two people had already died, and they were all people of status.
They were all guessing who the murderer was, and whether the murderer who killed the prince and princess was the same person.
From Chu Yuyang's point of view, the possibility of being alone is very high, but the possibility of imitating a crime is not impossible.
But other people don't know this, they don't pay attention to evidence, they just make wild guesses as soon as they slap their heads.They only knew that the princess and the prince had been killed one after the other, both in the embassy, and the time was not far apart, so they felt that the murderer must be one person.
It is strange that the prince and princess died again, and some people said that maybe the murderer was not a human at all, but a ghost!
Of course, there is another theory, that is, Mr. Qiao is the murderer who killed the prince and princess.
Qiao Zhongyin was regarded as the princess's retainer. When he first came, the princess treated him very well, and many people were very jealous.But Qiao Zhongyin always abided by the etiquette to the princess, and later the princess became less interested in him, but she treated him pretty well.
Qiao Zhongyin was outstanding and talented, especially when he played the piano very well, even if he didn't provoke anyone, some people would feel uncomfortable looking at him.
Jiang Liuwu interrogated a person who was also the princess' guest, and that person chewed the root of his tongue with Jiang Liuwu, saying that Qiao Zhongyin must be the murderer.
The man said that the prince fell in love with Qiao Zhongyin when he went to the princess mansion before, and wanted to bring him back to the mansion to be his male favourite.But Qiao Zhongyin is a noble person, he refused to follow the prince, and later broke up unhappy.The lord held grudges in his heart, and several times deliberately sought Qiao Zhongyin's bad luck.Maybe Qiao Zhongyin would find an opportunity to kill the prince because of his grudge, but the princess sent someone to investigate the case and found that Qiao Zhongyin was the murderer, so Qiao Zhongyin just kept on doing nothing and killed the princess too.
There were quite a few people in the embassy, and after questioning them all, it was getting late.Suddenly someone came in hurriedly from the door and said, "Lord Chu, Your Majesty is here!"
Chu Yuyang said in surprise, "Your Majesty is coming?"
Zhao Xingduan didn't mean that Feng Zhinian, the crown prince of the Feng Kingdom, returned to the capital around the evening, and it seemed that the time was almost up. Zhao Xingduan should be very busy, so why did he suddenly come over?
Chu Yuyang was surprised when he saw someone walking over, including Zhao Xingduan.There was another one who looked unfamiliar, walking behind Zhao Xingduan.
Chu Yuyang's eyes lit up, what a beautiful boy.
Everyone hurriedly knelt down to greet Zhao Xingduan, Chu Yuyang only realized later that the strange handsome man was Feng Zhinian, Crown Prince of Feng Kingdom, unexpectedly he had already arrived.
Feng Zhinian arrived in the capital early, went to the palace to meet Zhao Xingduan, and came to the embassy with Zhao Xingduan.After all, both the prince and the princess are dead, so it's not a small matter.
Chu Yuyang wanted to strike up a conversation with Feng Zhinian, but was caught by Zhao Xingduan.Feng Zhinian was in a hurry, and he didn't know where he was going in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Xingduan asked: "How is the situation?"
Chu Yuyang looked around eagerly, but still couldn't find Feng Zhinian's shadow, so she said, "There is a little clue."
Over there, Feng Zhinian asked the servants, and then went to Qiao Zhongyin's yard.Before he got there, he heard someone playing the piano inside.
Feng Zhinian walked in quickly, but Qiao Zhongyin didn't notice, he was still playing the piano.
Feng Zhinian walked over after he finished playing a piece.
Qiao Zhongyin was startled when he saw him, and said, "Why is the prince here?"
Feng Zhinian looked at him without a smile on his face, he always had such a serious expression.
Feng Zhinian didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Did you kill someone?"
Qiao Zhongyin shook his head and said, "I haven't."
Feng Zhinian said: "Why didn't you refute it? You were wronged for keeping silent."
"This matter is related to Feng Guo's face..." Qiao Zhongyin paused for a while, then continued: "That is related to the prince's face..."
The corpse was too horrible to look at, and everyone didn't want to look at it after taking a look.
Only then did Chu Yuyang say slowly, "The second point, of course, is that he lied."
"What?" Princess Feng opened her eyes wide, her face full of shock and disbelief, and said, "Who do you say lied?"
Everyone looked at the prince's body at the same time. When Chu Yuyang spoke, he was looking at the prince's body. The "he" referred to the prince who was dead and had been stabbed sixty or seventy times.
Not only Princess Feng was surprised, but everyone else was also surprised.
Chu Yuyang asked the servant who came out to testify just now, and said, "You heard Mr. Qiao and the prince quarreling?"
The servants nodded, very firmly.
Chu Yuyang said: "But in your narration just now, I only heard one sided situation, that is, you all heard the voice of the prince scolding Young Master Qiao loudly, but none of you said anything, and heard Young Master Qiao's voice. "
The servants looked at each other, then nodded.A servant said: "It's true that I didn't hear Mr. Qiao's voice, but when the prince scolded him loudly, he called Mr. Qiao's name. We did hear that."
The prince died inside, and the servants outside could hear the prince's scolding in the room, which shows that the prince's shout was loud and his tone was very angry.Mr. Qiao is a gentle and refined person. The servants have never seen him angry, let alone speak so loudly.
Chu Yuyang said: "Just by hearing the voice, it is very imprecise to conclude that a person is in the room. This is all right now. You didn't even hear Mr. Qiao's voice. You only heard the prince called Qiao. The name of the young master, the suspect deduced from this reasoning is simply untenable."
Chu Yuyang said again: "What if the prince was the only one in the room at that time? If he yelled someone's name aloud at random, then that person would become a suspect."
The princess thought it was funny, and said: "What do you mean? It's just nonsense. You and Mr. Qiao knew each other before? Otherwise, why did you keep talking to him? The prince is already dead. Why did he lie to people before he died? What good is it for him?"
Chu Yuyang said honestly: "I really don't know why the prince lied before he died. But I don't think the prince himself knows either."
"What do you mean?"
Not only the princess was confused, but everyone also looked at Chu Yuyang.
Chu Yuyang said: "I mean, the lord probably didn't know, he was going to die at that time. The lord died very hastily, with a surprised expression on his face, I'm afraid this was beyond his expectation."
Everyone couldn't help but take another look at the corpse on the ground. The expression of the corpse was extremely distorted, with expressions of shock, surprise, fear and pain all over the face. It seemed that the death was indeed hasty.
The princess said again: "You said Mr. Qiao is not the murderer, so who is the murderer?"
Chu Yuyang said: "No outsiders have been in or out of the embassy since noon. If someone killed the prince, he must not have left. And there is not one more outsider in the embassy. That is to say, the people who killed the prince were brought by the princess. One of them, oh of course, princess, you are also one of this ranks, there are as many suspicions.”
The princess stared and said, "You, what did you say? How can I be suspicious. I have been sleeping in the room and have never stepped out of the room. How could I kill someone. My maid can testify to me."
The princess was firing like a cannonball, and the maid hurriedly said, "The princess hasn't left the room."
The maid said: "I was guarding the door of the princess's room, and I could see the room where the accident happened at a glance. The door of the room was closed all the time, and no one came in or out. Then... I saw Mr. Qiao go in..."
The room where the princess rests temporarily is not in the same yard as Young Master Qiao's room, but it's not too far away. You can see it through the gate of the yard. The maid said that if someone walks along the way, she should be able to see it.
However, at the time the maid said, the prince should have died a long time ago. Even if Mr. Qiao entered at that time, it does not mean that he is the murderer, and the time does not match.
Mr. Qiao, who has never spoken, seems to be the calmest person.But at this time, he suddenly spoke, and said: "Mr. Chu is right. It seems that the murderer can only be a member of Feng Guo in the embassy. Therefore, this matter is regarded as a scandal of Feng Guo's own family. It is really a shame for His Majesty and Chu. My lord made a joke, presumably the princess will ask someone to find out."
Mr. Qiao's words were really surprising. He said it politely, but his meaning was very clear, because the murderer could only be from Feng Guo, so he didn't want Chu Yuyang to intervene in the investigation of the case.
However, in the eyes of Princess Feng, Mr. Qiao is the most suspicious. I am afraid that if she sends someone to investigate, it is very likely that Mr. Qiao will be identified as the murderer.
This point is really unfavorable to Mr. Qiao, but Mr. Qiao just did this again. I don't know what he was thinking.
The princess was very surprised, but immediately said: "Yes, yes, family ugliness must not be publicized. I will not bother Your Majesty and Lord Chu about this matter. Let us handle it ourselves."
Chu Yuyang looked at Mr. Qiao strangely, and said, "Mr. Qiao is not from the capital? Could it be a lie?"
Mr. Qiao was taken aback. When he was in the restaurant, he did say that he was from the capital, but he didn't expect that such a troublesome thing would happen at that time.
Mr. Qiao said calmly: "Qiao is talking nonsense, please don't be offended by Mr. Chu."
Chu Yuyang frowned.
In the middle of the night, there was such an incident at the embassy, and it turned out to be a waste of time.Chu Yuyang followed Zhao Xingduan back to the palace very unhappy.
Zhao Xingduan didn't want to take care of Feng Guo's affairs at all. It wasn't just a murder case, it was very complicated to deal with, so one more thing is worse than one less.
Chu Yuyang couldn't figure it out, and said, "What does Mr. Qiao mean?"
"He might know something." Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "So what does he mean? Is he covering up the murderer?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "It's too late, let's go to bed earlier."
The originally beautiful night life was disturbed, but now it was too late, Zhao Xingduan was afraid that Chu Yuyang would be sleepy again tomorrow, so he had to let him go to rest.
The affairs of the embassy were personally in charge of Princess Feng Guo. She sent someone to thoroughly investigate the matter, and she didn't know how to do it. It was ups and downs. In less than a day, everyone in the capital knew that Feng Guo's few One of the envoys died within three days after arriving in the capital.
There were even some people who said nonsense that the prince's death was premeditated, and that none of the next few people from Feng Guolai would be able to escape, and they would all die in the capital.
Chu Yuyang thought that there was a small case to pass the time, but he was not allowed to participate in it, so as long as he didn't bother, in case something happened, Zhao Xingduan would still be embarrassed.
Duke Feng mainly lived in the capital for more than half a month, wandering around the palace every day, flattering Zhao Xingduan in various ways, but he never saw anyone in ten times.
Later, Princess Feng went to the Empress Dowager to please her.
Princess Hongxia came to Chu Yuyang's side to make a small report, saying: "The princess went to the queen mother to blow the evil wind again, why don't you seem in a hurry?"
Chu Yuyang waved her hand and said, "There's really no need to worry about this."
Although the empress dowager still held a sliver of hope in her heart, she hoped that his son would suddenly fall in love with a woman one day, and then have an heir to continue.
But for someone as old-fashioned and conservative as the empress dowager, even if his son finds a refugee woman suddenly, it is much better than a foreign woman.
That Princess Feng is a woman of a foreign race. If she really gets along with the emperor, the son she will give birth to will also have half of the blood of a foreign race.In the eyes of the empress dowager, the women of Feng Guo are not as pleasing to the eye as Chu Yuyang.
Sure enough, Princess Feng didn't get any favors from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager rewarded her with some jewels and sent her away.In the end, Princess Feng did not see the emperor either.
King Feng has been dead for a few days, and the case has not progressed, but the murderer has been identified, and it is Mr. Qiao.No one knows how the murderer was identified in the case that didn't make any progress. Anyway, Princess Feng presided over the case.
Originally, the princess would live in the capital for half a month, but the prince's body had to be taken back for burial, and Mr. Qiao still needed to be dealt with.So I'm afraid this group of people will leave soon.
Mr. Qiao is the "murderer", but he has to be taken back to Feng Guo for questioning.Moreover, the crime of killing the prince is not small. The princess means to take him back for retrial. Maybe there is someone behind Mr. Qiao who instigates him.
Chu Yuyang was not surprised at all when he heard the news, and there was another person who was not surprised at all, and that was Mr. Qiao himself. He seemed to have known early on that the princess would identify him as the murderer.
However, in the past few days, Mr. Qiao still hasn't changed much. He plays the piano all day long, sits in the courtyard of the embassy and enjoys the scenery, and doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
However, the day before Feng Guo's envoys were to leave, news suddenly spread into the capital.
The prince of Feng Guo is going to meet Zhao Xingduan.
The news was soon sent to the capital. Prince Feng heard about the envoy's stay in the capital, so he came to the capital in person, apologized to Zhao Xingduan, and then took over the matter.
This news surprised Princess Feng a lot. After all, her father is already old, and now Feng Zhinian is governed by the crown prince Feng Zhinian. Unexpectedly, Feng Zhinian would suddenly leave Feng State and come to the capital.
Chu Yuyang didn't know Feng Zhinian, and he didn't care who the crown prince of Feng Guo was.I just heard that Princess Feng couldn't leave and would continue to live, perhaps longer than half a month, and instantly felt that the future was gloomy.
Chu Yuyang decided to go out of the palace for a walk, and wanted to take Fuying outside the palace to have fun, but before Chu Yuyang had time to leave the palace, Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu had already hurried over.
As soon as Geng Zhi saw Chu Yuyang, he immediately said loudly: "Master Chu is not well!"
Chu Yuyang: "..."
Before Chu Yuyang could speak, Geng Zhi hastily took out a box and put it on the table in front of Chu Yuyang.
When Chu Yuyang saw it, he was startled. He was very familiar with this kind of brocade box. It wasn't that he had seen it many times, but the box containing the ledger was a bit similar to this box.
But this box is obviously much bigger, and it should not be a thin account book in it.
Chu Yuyang immediately opened it, and saw that there was a dagger in the box, and a piece of paper stuck in the dagger.
Chu Yuyang was shocked again, because he had just heard Mr. Qiao describe this scene two days ago, so he still remembered it fresh.
Mr. Qiao said that he saw the prince died, and there was a dagger next to him with a piece of paper stuck in it.He picked up the dagger and took off the paper on it, only to find that it was designed by someone, and the paper was blank without a single word.
Chu Yuyang's heart jumped violently, and he couldn't help thinking a lot in his head.Last time, the box was sent by someone pretending to be Mr. Tao, and it was so similar to these two boxes. Could it be that Feng Guo's matter had something to do with that person pretending to be Mr. Tao?
Chu Yuyang took off the paper from the dagger. The paper was not blank, but had words on it.
Very familiar font.
It's the kind of neat, serious, beautiful and powerful characters.
There are still very few words on the white paper: this is another competition
Geng Zhi said, "Lord Chu, what do these words mean?"
Chu Yuyang stared at those words for a long time, and was also a little dazed, not knowing what he was referring to.If what happened to Changyue last time was a competition, then what does the next competition refer to now?Could it be Mr. Qiao's case?
There was still something in the box, Chu Yuyang reached out and took it out, and there was a thin book under the dagger, but it was not an account book, but a family tree.
Chu Yuyang opened the book, there were many names on it, but Chu Yuyang saw the problem at a glance, he flipped through it quickly, until finally, he saw Mr. Qiao's name.
Mr. Qiao's name is Qiao Zhongyin, and he is indeed from the capital. From his name, he can tell that he is the second in the family. He has an older brother and two younger brothers.But for some unknown reason, Qiao Zhongyin left the capital and went to Feng Guo.
Chu Yuyang remembered what Qiao Zhongyin said that day. Qiao Zhongyin came back this time to go home and take a look, but the house of Qiao's family in the capital was gone.
It turned out that Mr. Qiao had indeed lied that day, but he lied when he was at the embassy. Qiao Zhongyin was indeed from the capital.
Chu Yuyang frowned, and said, "Could it be that this is another competition, is it really the case of Young Master Qiao?"
Jiang Liuwu said, "Master Qiao's case?"
There has been an uproar in the capital recently, and I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know about this case.Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi also knew about it, but it was Feng Guo's business, so it was not under the management of Dali Temple.
Chu Yuyang took the genealogy and said, "Yes, Mr. Tao... No, I don't even know his name. Anyway, he even sent me his reasons."
If Qiao Zhongyin was from the capital, then this case was related to Da Zhao, and it was not just Feng Guo's case.
Chu Yuyang had a bit of a headache. When he saw the word "goodbye" last time, he thought it must be a long time to meet again, but he didn't expect it to be quiet for so long.
Chu Yuyang suddenly felt that this person didn't leave at all, what is goodbye, he really is a person who likes to play tricks.
This time Chu Yuyang didn't go out of the palace anymore, and told Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi to let them go out of the palace to Dali Temple first, set up their hands, and bring their assistants, and wait for him to tell Zhao Xingduan With one sound, he went to the embassy to bring all the corpses and suspects over.
As soon as Zhao Xingduan came back, Chu Yuyang immediately ran over and showed Zhao Xingduan all the box, dagger and genealogy.
Zhao Xingduan immediately frowned and said, "This matter has become more complicated than before."
"What do you mean?" Chu Yuyang didn't quite understand, and looked at him strangely.
Zhao Xingduan said: "The news came from the embassy outside the palace just now that Princess Feng died."
"What?" Chu Yuyang almost jumped up in surprise, and said, "You're not kidding me, are you?"
Zhao Xingduan shook his head and said, "The body is still in the embassy, I'm going to let you go and see it."
Chu Yuyang said, "Why did you suddenly die again?"
The death of a prince of the Feng Kingdom earlier caused an uproar, but now that a princess of the Feng Kingdom has died, the capital is probably even more lively.Even if the murderer was not from Da Zhao, and the two people from Feng Guo died in the embassy, there would probably be a lot of gossip outside.And that Crown Prince Feng Zhinian is going to the capital soon.
Chu Yuyang thought about it for a while, and felt that things were becoming more and more complicated.
Chu Yuyang said: "Then I'll go and have a look, do you want to come with me?"
Zhao Xingduan shook his head and said, "Feng Zhinian will arrive in the capital around evening, I'm afraid I won't have time to go with you."
Arriving in the capital in the evening, Feng Guo is not close to the capital. Feng Zhinian's journey is extremely fast, almost [-] miles away.
Chu Yuyang was a little surprised, and said, "He didn't come prepared, did he? He didn't have good intentions, did he?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Don't worry, I can still handle a small Feng Guo."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Then I'll go first."
Princess Feng died suddenly, and the embassy was almost in chaos.
The princess's body was discovered early in the morning by her personal maid, but at that time the princess was already out of breath, and her body was cold.
When Qiao Zhongyin heard the news, he was sitting in the yard playing the piano.He is now a suspect, the identified murderer, and no one has told him the news at all.Sitting alone in the yard, he heard the sound of someone screaming and crying outside. When he stopped playing the piano, the sound of the piano stopped, and he just sat there blankly, as if in a trance.
"Your piano is beautiful."
Just when Qiao Zhongyin was in a daze, someone suddenly spoke to him.
This voice sounded nice and gentle, but Qiao Zhongyin was taken aback.He turned his head immediately, and saw a person leaning against the wall, a little far away from him.
Qiao Zhongyin looked at him in surprise, that person's face was seven to eight points similar to Qiao Zhongyin's, but the feeling was quite different.Qiao Zhongyin made people feel like a spring breeze, but that person, although he looked gentle, had a fierce aura.
The man came over and said, "I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time."
Qiao Zhongyin looked at him, with shock and joy on his face for a while, but also an indescribable sadness, and said, "I can't play as well as you."
"No," the man stood in front of him, looked down at the qin on the table, and said, "I will no longer be able to play the qin, just like you will no longer be able to practice martial arts."
Qiao Zhongyin showed a nervous look, and said, "Why? What's wrong with your hand?"
The man said: "Second brother, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that my hands are full of blood all these years, and I'm no longer suitable for playing the piano."
"Ji Yan..." Qiao Zhongyin said, "When I returned to the capital, I went to the mansion, but..."
Before Qiao Zhongyin finished speaking, the man had already said: "Second brother, there is no Qiao's house for a long time, isn't it? I haven't been there for a long time."
Qiao Zhongyin said, "Then where have you been all these years?"
The man said: "Being helpless, I have been to many places and suffered a lot, but I have also done a lot of things. Second brother, do you know? I have revenge."
Qiao Zhongyin said in surprise, "Revenge?"
The man nodded and said: "Yes, King Liang has been accused of crimes. Zhao Xingduan is the most ruthless person. Can we let him go? At this time, King Liang will live a little longer." , he will suffer more for a while. But what is death? It’s just a temporary pain. The pain that is only one step away from the throne makes them feel more uncomfortable, doesn’t it? The feeling of falling from the sky. "
Qiao Zhongyin looked at this fourth younger brother whose face resembled his own, and suddenly felt a little strange.He sighed and said, "Ji Yan, since the revenge has been avenged, you and the second brother can leave."
Qiao Jiyan shook his head and said, "I still have something to do."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Zhongyin asked.
Qiao Jiyan said: "I haven't repaid the kindness of a person. If he hadn't taken me in, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."
"Who is it?" Qiao Zhongyin asked.
Qiao Jiyan shook his head again, and said, "I can't tell my second brother."
Qiao Zhongyin frowned.
Qiao Jiyan said: "Just like the second brother, there are things that you can't tell others."
Qiao Zhongyin looked at him.
Qiao Jiyan continued: "Second brother, don't you hate being wronged by others the most? Why don't you say anything? Is it because of Feng Zhinian?"
Qiao Zhongyin looked at him in surprise.
Qiao Jiyan said: "I may know more things."
Qiao Zhongyin was even more shocked when he heard his words, and said: "It seems that you have suffered more these years than I thought."
Qiao Jiyan said, "Second brother, someone is here."
Qiao Zhongyin turned his head to look at the gate of the yard, but he still couldn't see anyone coming.He said: "Leave quickly, people will see, I'm afraid..."
Uninvited guests suddenly came to the embassy, and Qiao Jiyan's appearance not long after the princess died, anyone who saw it would feel suspicious.
Qiao Jiyan said: "I'm leaving second brother, you can go out soon."
Qiao Zhongyin was about to ask him what he meant, but it seemed too late, he heard the footsteps of someone approaching, and the voices were mixed, probably quite a few people came.
Soon, Qiao Zhongyin saw Chu Yuyang, and there were many people around Chu Yuyang.Qiao Zhongyin looked at them in surprise, and said, "Why is Master Chu here?"
Chu Yuyang smiled and said, "Of course it's investigation."
Qiao Zhongyin said: "Didn't it be agreed last time, this matter..."
Chu Yuyang didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "It was Feng Guo's business before, and I couldn't get involved, but I suddenly discovered that this matter is not purely Feng Guo's business, so I should come and have a look."
Chu Yuyang took out the family tree and handed it to Qiao Zhongyin to read.
Qiao Zhongyin was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Where did Lord Chu get this?"
Chu Yuyang was honest and said, "Someone sent it to me, but I really don't know who he is."
Qiao Zhongyin took the genealogy book, opened it carefully, couldn't help sighing, and subconsciously glanced at the place where Qiao Jiyan was standing when he left.
Chu Yuyang asked: "Mr. Qiao is from the capital?"
Qiao Zhongyin nodded, he opened the genealogy, turned to the end, and saw his own name, and of course Qiao Jiyan's name.
Seeing that Qiao Zhongyin admitted it, Chu Yuyang said, "That's fine, I'll go and see the princess's body first, Mr. Qiao, do you want to go and see it together?"
Qiao Zhongyin shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Chu can do it himself."
Chu Yuyang led the people away and went directly to the princess's room. The body had not been moved, and no one in the room entered again. At this time, it was already surrounded by people from Dali Temple.
The maid who found the princess's body was the princess's personal maid. It is said that she was the one who slept with the princess yesterday, but she was found dead early this morning.
Chu Yuyang walked in with someone. The room was clean, a bit like when the prince had an accident, but the room was bloody.
The princess died on the bed, her eyes were wide open, her expression was ferocious and distorted, her body was full of stab wounds, and her face was also covered. Roughly speaking, there were only more wounds than the prince's, and definitely not less.
The princess's face was bloody and bloody, but luckily her face could still be distinguished.There was blood all over the quilt on the bed and the bed curtains. Although it had been a long time, the smell was still very unpleasant and irritated people's nerves.
At first glance, Chu Yuyang felt that the visual impact and olfactory impact were not small, and she felt a little cramped in her stomach.
Chu Yuyang couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid the murderer has a grudge with the princess."
The prince also had a lot of knives in his body, but the scene was obviously not so horrible.
Geng Zhi asked: "Lord Chu, is there any difference between the prince's wound and the princess's wound?"
From Geng Zhi's point of view, both of them were very miserable, both of them had been stabbed many times.Chu Yuyang said last time that there are many possibilities for these stab wounds, not necessarily because of deep grievances, but also because of wanting to destroy the corpses and destroy the evidence.
Chu Yuyang pointed to the wound on the princess's body and said, "The wound is slightly different. Look at the wound on the princess. Although it was also caused by a dagger, it is obviously of different depths and the wound is very irregular."
Geng Zhi nodded, this is also the reason why the princess's body looks more horrible than the prince's, this body is more bloody.
Chu Yuyang said: "Think about it, this kind of wound should be caused by the murderer stabbing the corpse continuously, maybe he was very impatient, so the force is not constant, the severity of the wound varies, maybe the murderer still feels tired halfway through the stabbing. gone."
When Geng Zhi was told by Chu Yuyang, he thought about it, and instantly felt cold sweat on his back. This scene was too crazy and bloody, which made him have goose bumps all over his body.
Chu Yuyang said again: "As for the prince's corpse, the incisions are relatively regular."
Chu Yuyang looked at the corpse, and said to the princess's maid, "Tell me about the situation at that time."
The maid was trembling all the time looking at the princess's body. In such a bloody scene, the maid didn't faint, which is indeed pretty good.
The maid was still trembling and told the situation over and over again, and this matter had to start from a few nights ago.
Since the death of the prince, the princess has been in poor spirits. She often has nightmares and can't sleep at night.The maids are often scolded by the princess these days, and the princess is angry with these maids when she is not resting well and unhappy.
In the past few days, the maids who had been watching the night had heard the princess yelling suddenly in the middle of the night, as if she had had a nightmare, she woke up from the dream, covered in cold sweat.
The maid ran in and asked what happened, and the princess would lose her temper and yell at people, even throwing tea bowls at people.One of the maids was hit on the forehead before, and she bled a lot, but she is not doing well right now.
The maid said that she was the one who went to bed last night, and the princess lost her temper for some reason and didn't let her stay outside, so the maid had to sit on the stone steps outside the door in the cold, shivering and freezing all night .
The princess didn't go to bed early, and when it was midnight, the maid could still hear voices outside, so she probably didn't fall asleep.
After a while, the house was finally quiet, and the maid dozed off outside, but suddenly, the maid heard a shrill cry from inside the room, it was the voice of the princess.
The maid hurriedly opened the door and went in, only to find that the room was dark and the princess was sitting on the bed covered in sweat.The maid went up to ask the princess what was wrong, but the princess lost her temper, asked her who let her in, and slapped her.
When the maid said this, she covered her face with her hand. There was a spot of blood on her cheek near her neck. The maid said it was hurt by the princess' nails.
The maid ran out quickly, closed the door for the princess, and dared not go in again.
Afterwards the maid heard three or four more such shrill cries, and each time she was so frightened that she lost sleep.But she didn't dare to go in again, and just asked the princess what she needed through the door.
The princess would scold and scold her at first, but then she would not answer her words, nor would she scold her.This happened several times, and finally the room was finally quiet.
After dawn, the maid was ready to go in and wait for the princess to get up, but the princess did not respond, and the maid did not dare to go in and be scolded.But it was too late, so the maid boldly knocked on the door, but there was still no response from inside.
The maid finally decided to push the door and go in...
The maid shook her body and said, "I walked into the room with a water basin, who would have thought that the princess was dead, and the bed was covered in blood..."
Chu Yuyang asked: "When was the last time you heard the princess exclaim?"
The maid said: "I don't remember clearly, it was about... about three quarters of Yin's time."
The maid thought for a while, and then said: "That time, the princess seemed to be screaming horribly, but I... I didn't dare to go in. I asked the princess what happened through the door, but the princess didn't answer me. There was no sound, I thought the princess was asleep... the previous time, the princess didn't answer me, I thought, I thought... nothing happened..."
The maid said that Wu Zuo had finished experiencing the corpse, and the time of death was determined, and it was indeed Yinshi, which was the time when the princess yelled for the last time as the maid said.So at that time, the princess did not have a nightmare, but was really killed.
When the maid heard this, she almost passed out with her eyes turned white, she was terrified.
The maid said: "Who killed the princess? I have been sitting at the door. It is impossible for someone to enter through the door. Could it be that someone jumped in through the window and killed the princess?"
There are many windows in the princess' room, Chu Yuyang went to check and found that a few windows were not locked and could be opened from the outside.If it is said that someone jumped in through the window in the middle of the night and killed the princess, this possibility is not impossible.
However, why should the princess be killed? This is a question. What is the murderer's motive for killing?
Chu Yuyang said: "Geng Zhi, Jiang Liuwu, you lead someone to question all the people in the embassy first."
Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu immediately agreed, and took people to interrogate them.
Everyone in the embassy was trembling. After all, two people had already died, and they were all people of status.
They were all guessing who the murderer was, and whether the murderer who killed the prince and princess was the same person.
From Chu Yuyang's point of view, the possibility of being alone is very high, but the possibility of imitating a crime is not impossible.
But other people don't know this, they don't pay attention to evidence, they just make wild guesses as soon as they slap their heads.They only knew that the princess and the prince had been killed one after the other, both in the embassy, and the time was not far apart, so they felt that the murderer must be one person.
It is strange that the prince and princess died again, and some people said that maybe the murderer was not a human at all, but a ghost!
Of course, there is another theory, that is, Mr. Qiao is the murderer who killed the prince and princess.
Qiao Zhongyin was regarded as the princess's retainer. When he first came, the princess treated him very well, and many people were very jealous.But Qiao Zhongyin always abided by the etiquette to the princess, and later the princess became less interested in him, but she treated him pretty well.
Qiao Zhongyin was outstanding and talented, especially when he played the piano very well, even if he didn't provoke anyone, some people would feel uncomfortable looking at him.
Jiang Liuwu interrogated a person who was also the princess' guest, and that person chewed the root of his tongue with Jiang Liuwu, saying that Qiao Zhongyin must be the murderer.
The man said that the prince fell in love with Qiao Zhongyin when he went to the princess mansion before, and wanted to bring him back to the mansion to be his male favourite.But Qiao Zhongyin is a noble person, he refused to follow the prince, and later broke up unhappy.The lord held grudges in his heart, and several times deliberately sought Qiao Zhongyin's bad luck.Maybe Qiao Zhongyin would find an opportunity to kill the prince because of his grudge, but the princess sent someone to investigate the case and found that Qiao Zhongyin was the murderer, so Qiao Zhongyin just kept on doing nothing and killed the princess too.
There were quite a few people in the embassy, and after questioning them all, it was getting late.Suddenly someone came in hurriedly from the door and said, "Lord Chu, Your Majesty is here!"
Chu Yuyang said in surprise, "Your Majesty is coming?"
Zhao Xingduan didn't mean that Feng Zhinian, the crown prince of the Feng Kingdom, returned to the capital around the evening, and it seemed that the time was almost up. Zhao Xingduan should be very busy, so why did he suddenly come over?
Chu Yuyang was surprised when he saw someone walking over, including Zhao Xingduan.There was another one who looked unfamiliar, walking behind Zhao Xingduan.
Chu Yuyang's eyes lit up, what a beautiful boy.
Everyone hurriedly knelt down to greet Zhao Xingduan, Chu Yuyang only realized later that the strange handsome man was Feng Zhinian, Crown Prince of Feng Kingdom, unexpectedly he had already arrived.
Feng Zhinian arrived in the capital early, went to the palace to meet Zhao Xingduan, and came to the embassy with Zhao Xingduan.After all, both the prince and the princess are dead, so it's not a small matter.
Chu Yuyang wanted to strike up a conversation with Feng Zhinian, but was caught by Zhao Xingduan.Feng Zhinian was in a hurry, and he didn't know where he was going in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Xingduan asked: "How is the situation?"
Chu Yuyang looked around eagerly, but still couldn't find Feng Zhinian's shadow, so she said, "There is a little clue."
Over there, Feng Zhinian asked the servants, and then went to Qiao Zhongyin's yard.Before he got there, he heard someone playing the piano inside.
Feng Zhinian walked in quickly, but Qiao Zhongyin didn't notice, he was still playing the piano.
Feng Zhinian walked over after he finished playing a piece.
Qiao Zhongyin was startled when he saw him, and said, "Why is the prince here?"
Feng Zhinian looked at him without a smile on his face, he always had such a serious expression.
Feng Zhinian didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Did you kill someone?"
Qiao Zhongyin shook his head and said, "I haven't."
Feng Zhinian said: "Why didn't you refute it? You were wronged for keeping silent."
"This matter is related to Feng Guo's face..." Qiao Zhongyin paused for a while, then continued: "That is related to the prince's face..."
