The upright forensic doctor bumped into the drama prince

"A sudden attack? Could it be that King Ping didn't take any action before?"

Lu Jiu was taken aback by the question, then frowned slightly, and said: "It seems a little inappropriate to be asked by Ah Lan like this. It was true that he was suppressed before, but the followers of the prince are very hidden, and King Ping has no way to start. I don't know. Why do you shoot so frequently recently, every time you shoot, you can be extremely precise, as if you suddenly know everything about the prince."

Ji Linglan's heart tightened, and she said, "Then there are traitors around the prince?"

Lu Jiu nodded, and said: "There is such a possibility, the prince should have already noticed it, the most important thing now is to find the traitor, otherwise there may be heavy losses."

Ji Linglan frowned and said: "The matter has reached such an emergency, why is he still staring at me like nothing happened?"

"Probably because in Master's heart, Ah Lan weighs more than these."

Ji Linglan couldn't help trembling when she heard the words. Fu Nanling had said similar things more than once, but she was no match for Lu Jiu's light sentence.

Ji Linglan fell silent, smiled after a long while, and said: "Brother Lu, you usually speak very little, but every sentence hits the point, how can the prince not succeed if he has subordinates like you? "

Lu Jiu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "Alan, your support is what the prince needs most. Although I don't know what happened between you, but I understand you, you will not make trouble unreasonably, it must be between you and the prince. Misunderstand."

Ji Linglan silently held the cup in her hand and rubbed it unconsciously.

"Alan, the current situation is not good for us. If you can let it go, let it go first, and wait for the situation to stabilize before talking about other things."

Ji Linglan looked at Lu Jiu and said, "Brother Lu, I have my own discretion on this matter."

Lu Jiu nodded and said, "Alan, if you are really reluctant, just pretend that I didn't say what you just said. After all, we can't really change places."

Ji Linglan smiled knowingly, and said, "Thank you Brother Lu for your understanding."

For the past three years, Lu Jiu has protected him like a big brother, really put himself in his shoes, Ji Linglan can feel it.

"Dong dong dong", the door was knocked, the waiter opened the curtain and walked in, said with a smile: "Masters, the food you want. Pearl balls, braised carp, roast duck, spicy chicken, a pot of Laobaigan , a few of you are eating and drinking first, and the others will be served later."

Ji Linglan picked up the chopsticks first, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about anything else now, let's talk about filling our stomachs first."

Several people picked up the chopsticks one after another, no longer restrained, and started to eat together.

During the meal, Lu Jiu didn't bring up the matter of Ji Linglan and Fu Nanling any more, but casually found other topics to chat about, such as the house price, the storefront he bought, and how to arrange it in the future. Do other jobs.

It took an hour to eat a meal, and the food was cleaned up, but only Ji Linglan drank a small cup of wine.Touching her swollen head, Ji Linglan felt dizzy, and said, "Brother Lu, I may have drunk too much, let's go back... go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Linglan lay down on the table and lost consciousness.

Helplessness appeared in Lu Jiu's eyes, he looked at Xiao Linzi, and ordered: "Find a carriage and take Ah Lan back to the palace."

"Yes, my lord, the slave will go now." Xiao Linzi got up and left the private room.

Xiao Linzi found a carriage, Lu Jiu sat on it with Ji Linglan on his back, and the four of them went back to the palace together.Putting Ji Linglan on the bed, Lu Jiu told him, "Stay here and watch. If A Lan calls out thirsty, you can feed him some water."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord, the servant will take good care of you."

In fact, Ji Linglan did not completely lose consciousness, but was in a state of being unable to control herself, just like many drunk people.He lay on the bed, in a trance, dreaming again.

Fu Nanling sat at the top of the main hall with a gloomy complexion, and at the bottom sat a beautiful woman, and kneeling in front of the hall was a boy who looked exactly like him.

Fu Nanling threw the portrait in his hand on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Ji Linglan, you are so brave, you dare to pretend to be a woman who misses this king, now that I have caught you, what else do you have to say? "

Ji Linglan knelt on the ground, straightened her body, looked directly into Fu Nanling's eyes, and said, "My lord, this is a false accusation! This subordinate has only seen side concubine Liu, and has never had any disagreements with Concubine Liu. I thought, this painting was not drawn by my subordinates, it was framed by someone!"

"Planting and framing?" Fu Nanling sneered, turned to look down at Liu Yingying, and said, "Yingying, tell me, what did he do to you?"

Liu Yingying's eyes were reddish, as if she had just cried, she glanced at Ji Linglan, then at Fu Nanling, and said, "My lord, I was enjoying the flowers in the garden a few days ago, and I felt a little thirsty, so I asked the servant girl to take a bath. Tea, there are no other people around. I saw Mr. Ji coming from a distance, and I wanted to avoid suspicion, but he stopped him. Only then can we keep our innocence.”

"Bastard!" Fu Nanling was furious, picked up the tea bowl at hand, and threw it at the boy's head.

The young man remained motionless, keeping his eyes on Fu Nanling. With a 'bang' sound, the tea bowl hit the young man's forehead, then fell to the ground, smashed to pieces, and blood flowed from the young man's forehead along with his cheeks, flowing into the skirt of his clothes. , dyed the plain white round-neck gown crimson.

"What Concubine Liu said is all fabricated, and this subordinate has never done such a thing!"

Liu Yingying hurriedly said: "My lord, everything I said is true, and there is my concubine's close maid Lan Yan to testify."

Fu Nanling looked at the two of them, and said aloud, "Ask Lan Yan to come in."

A young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came in outside the door, wearing an emerald green dress, came to the front of the hall and knelt down on the ground, saluting: "Slave Lan Yan sees the prince."

"Lan Yan, did you see Ji Linglan having a private meeting with your master a few days ago?"

Everyone was startled, and just as Liu Yingying was about to speak, Fu Nanling gave her a cold look, and then swallowed the words back, and could only look at Fu Nanling expectantly.

Lan Yan was stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses and said: "Go back to the lord, my master has never had a private meeting with Mr. Ji. It is Mr. Ji who has been pestering my master endlessly. Please check it out!"

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan and said angrily, "Now that the evidence is here, what else do you have to say?"

The young man still looked at Fu Nanling stubbornly, and said: "My lord, this subordinate still said the same thing. This is a false accusation. This subordinate has never done such a thing."

Fu Nanling laughed back angrily, and said: "Come here, put Ji Linglan in a water dungeon and give him only one bowl of water a day. I'll see how long he can last."

"Yes." The guards in the hall lifted Ji Linglan up and dragged her out.

Ji Linglan did not beg for mercy from the beginning to the end, and kept looking at Fu Nanling until she was taken out of the main hall.

The scene changed, and Ji Linglan came to a dark and damp place, the surroundings were very dark, only a torch was stuck on the stone wall in the distance.The young man was locked in a wooden prison in the water, his eyes were closed tightly, the corners of his mouth were bruised, and there was a welt on his face, part of which was scabbed, part of which was bleeding yellow pus, and his hair was wet and scattered behind him.Both hands were shackled to the top of the wooden prison, and except for the head, the whole body was submerged in water.

"Hey, why do I feel that Mr. Ji was really wronged? He is friendly to others on weekdays, never bullies others, and greets everyone with a smile. Who in the palace doesn't say that he is a good character. I think it must be those red eyes. Seeing that the prince thinks highly of Young Master Ji, that's why he deliberately framed him."

"Who says it's not. If it wasn't for someone watching from above, how could I do it. Mr. Ji even helped me. Sigh, I don't know why that side concubine Liu wronged Mr. Ji."

"It's been three days, if you drag it on, even if you let it out, this body will be useless."

"Hey, we are just the most inferior servants in the palace, and we are helpless if we want to help."

The two guards of the dungeon were talking in low voices.

"Thump, thump, thump," footsteps sounded, and the guard looked at the entrance strangely.

"It's so late, who still comes to the water prison?"

"Yes, didn't you just receive punishment today?"

Two men walked in at the entrance, wearing the same clothes as the guards of the water prison, which was the uniform of the guards of the Mausoleum Palace.

Xu Han looked at the two of them strangely, and said, "Old Wei, why are you here? Why does the brother next to you look a little strange?"

Wei Sheng picked up the things in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is my nephew from afar. He just came to the palace today as an errand. I didn't mean to bring him here, so I can get acquainted with our old brothers so that he can take care of him in the future." .”

Li Fa smiled and went to pick up the things in Wei Sheng's hands, a bottle of Laobaigan, a bag of peanuts, and two catties of sauced meat, all of which are good dishes to go with wine.

"Eldest nephew is here, we really should see you. Don't worry, Lao Wei, we are all good brothers. Your elder nephew is our elder nephew. He will take good care of you in the future." Li Fa put the things on the table and greeted: "Don't be dazed, come and sit down, we brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time, if we catch up today, we can't miss it."

Xu Han frowned, and said disapprovingly: "Li Fa, don't forget that we are on duty, and the palace rules stipulate that we are not allowed to drink alcohol while on duty, otherwise we will be beaten twenty times."

"Our water dungeon is damp and dark. If there is nothing to do on weekdays, it would be bad luck for anyone to come here. Besides, there is only one bottle of Lao Baigan, and the four of us will satisfy our greed. We can't delay things. Don't worry, Lao Xu. Come, sit down." Let's eat and drink, I've been in this place for a long time, and I'm sick all over, it's human nature to drink some wine to drive away the cold."

"Yes, yes, Lao Xu, Lao Li is right, this little wine will not be a problem, please sit down."

The two pulled Xu Han to sit down at the table, and Xu Han couldn't hold back the lobbying of the two, so he didn't struggle anymore.

“Let’s just say that this time is not an example.

"Okay, okay, listen to you." Xu Han said as he picked up the bowl of water on the table, poured out the clear water inside, picked up the jug, poured a bowl for each of them, and then raised his glass and said: " Come, let's have a drink and taste the taste."

The four clinked glasses, raised their heads and drank cleanly.

Xu Han wiped his mouth and said, "Old Wei, what's your nephew's name, why haven't you introduced him yet?"

"Oh oh oh, I almost forgot the business. His name is Wei Yang, he is seventeen this year, and he has practiced boxing and kicking for several years, so I recommended him to the steward, and I just let him come to the palace today."

Wei Yang smiled foolishly, stood up and poured wine for several people again, and said, "Wei Yang respects the two uncles, please take care of them in the future."

Li Fa patted his chest and said: "We are all one family, don't talk about two families, if you need anything in the future, just come to us."

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

As soon as the three of them clinked glasses, another bowl of wine was drunk.

"Eat vegetables, don't just drink." Wei Sheng greeted quickly.

Xu Han and Li Fa were also polite, picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

After taking a few sips, Xu Han only felt that his head was a little dizzy. He shook his head and said, "Old Wei, where did you buy this wine? How did you get drunk after drinking it?"

Wei Sheng held his head, and said in a daze, "I got the wine from Zhan's wine shop. We used to drink it a lot. Why do you feel a little bit wrong after a few glasses of wine?"

Xu Han was startled, stood up abruptly, and said, "Not good! There is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Han closed his eyes, and fell to the ground with a 'bang' sound, and the other three people also lay down on the table immediately, unconscious.

After waiting for a while, two masked men in black came in from the direction of the exit, quietly came to Xu Han and the others, pushed hard, then began to rummage, found the key to the prison door, and went into the water , and dragged the unconscious boy ashore.

It was only then that Ji Linglan saw the boy's horrific body, with welts crisscrossing and criss-crossing, the wound was white with blisters, and had already begun to inflame and pus, probably infected with other bacteria or viruses.Even in modern times, this kind of situation needs to be treated for a long time, and it will be fatal if it is not done well, not to mention the ancient times with extremely poor medical conditions.

Ji Linglan felt unspeakably uncomfortable, he couldn't imagine that if Fu Nanling really treated him like this, it would be a little bit of physical pain or a little bit of heart pain.

The man in black took off the clothes of Xu Han and the others, put them on himself and the young man respectively, and carried him to the exit.

Ji Linglan wanted to follow, but suddenly the world spun, and then he opened his eyes.There was the sound of shallow breathing next to her ears, and the familiar temperature on her arms. Even if she didn't look at it, Ji Linglan knew who was lying beside her.He turned his head and looked at Fu Nanling through the candlelight. He had the same eyebrows and eyes as the person in the dream, but why did he feel completely different?

The dream this time was not very coherent with the last dream, and Ji Linglan didn't know if the boy was really framed by someone, or if it was all a bitter trick designed by Fu Nanling.

'Bitter tricks'?Ji Linglan smiled bitterly silently, such a 'bitter trick' would be fatal if not done properly, in order to win the trust of Fu Nanping, he really had to do it.

Ji Linglan suddenly recalled that he also had a similar dream three years ago, and there was a figure in the dream that he couldn't see clearly. Thinking about it now, according to the conversation at that time, that person was probably Fu Nanling.

"Alan, don't trust him. He has been using you all the time. One day, you will be abandoned by him like a shoe. He is just acting for you! What he really wants is always the superior position." !"

Fu Nanping's words echoed in his mind again, which made Ji Linglan feel uncomfortable and confused at the same time.Why did what happened in his dream just confirm Fu Nanping's words?Why is it that Fu Nanling has no intention of investigating when he is acting so abnormally?Before, he would have thought that Fu Nanling was understanding, but now he had another answer in his heart.

Ji Linglan felt restless for a while, took Fu Nanling's hand away, and got out of bed.

"Alan, you are awake, do you feel unwell?"

Fu Nanling's concerned voice came from behind, but made Ji Linglan even more irritable. He took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "My lord, is he ready to confess to me?"

Fu Nanling's heart tightened, and he said, "Alan, can you give me a little more time?"

"Okay, then the prince has a good rest."

Ji Linglan left the room without looking back after finishing speaking, looked at Xiao Linzi at the door, and said, "Help me light the lamp, I'll go to the guest room to sleep."

Xiao Linzi looked in, couldn't help sighing in his heart, and said, "Yes, this servant will hold the lamp."

Lying on the bed in the guest room, Ji Linglan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, she simply locked the doors and windows, went straight into the anatomy room, took out her phone from the locker and looked, and found an unread message from Tang Tang.

"Master, the identity of the female corpse has been confirmed. It is Li Mingli, the woman who perjured Zheng Minglei and lived in the same unit as Chang Xin."

Followed by a picture, it is Li Mingli's personal information.Li Mingli, born on July 1997, 7, is 17 years old this year. She graduated from the University of Finance and Economics and joined the Zheng Group as an assistant to the president. Her hometown is Lancheng and she is an only child.My father is an employee of a state-owned enterprise, my mother is a housewife, and the family situation is average.Her parents reported her disappearance at the Pingcheng Police Station on September 25 last year, nearly half a year after the body was found.

"Li Mingli? Maybe her death will become a breakthrough in the '3' shooting."

Ji Linglan checked the time on her phone, it was already two o'clock in the morning, so she gave up her plan to call Tang Tang.Ji Linglan plugged in her earphones and turned on the music, went to the anatomy table and lay down, thinking about the materials of the '3' case, thinking about where else could be used as the direction of the investigation, and fell asleep after a while past.

Early the next morning, Ji Linglan was woken up by the phone's alarm. He opened his eyes and woke up for a while, picked up the phone and called Tang Tang.

"Hey, master, why is it so early today?" Tang Tang's voice was thick nasal, obviously still asleep.

"I slept in the dissection room yesterday." Ji Linglan replied casually, and asked, "Has the exact time of Li Mingli's death been revealed?"

"Not yet, Professor Li hasn't given the result yet."

"Then what stage has the case progressed so far?"

"Yesterday, we just completed the DNA comparison between Li Mingli and her parents, which confirmed her identity. Team Gao is already investigating. According to the surveillance video in the elevator of the community, the last time Li Mingli appeared was in September last year. On the 9th, but her call records show that the communication was not interrupted until a month later, on October 15th."

"One month? Considering the average temperature in Pingcheng at that time, one month is enough for the corpse to rot to the middle stage."

"That's right, my brain, why didn't I think of this." Tang Tang paused, and then said: "If it's true as master speculates, then Li Mingli was killed after September 9th last year. But Why did the murderer wait until the corpse was severely decomposed before dealing with it? The smell of the corpse is obvious, so aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"No matter how the body is disposed of, the murderer's purpose is to delay the time when the body is found, so as to escape the legal sanction. The murderer took such painstaking efforts, probably because he wanted to confuse the real time of death of the deceased."

"Master is right. What worries me most now is not how smart the murderer is, but the inner ghost in the police force."

"Three years ago, you reported your suspicion to Director Cui, and he should have dealt with it. What you have to do is to try to find clues on the bones, and you don't care about the rest."

"Master, I know it's not right to think this way, but in three years, the police station hasn't changed at all, so I have to wonder if Bureau Cui also..."

Ji Linglan was startled, then frowned, and said: "Then you should be more careful, and try to keep a copy of the evidence you have collected in private. If you think something is wrong, you can report it to the higher level. But you must remember, Don’t do it unless it’s absolutely necessary, you must be careful when you do it, and choose to remain anonymous, understand?”

"Master, don't worry, I suffered a loss last time and my memory has grown. If I have to, I will be extremely careful."

"Well, if you really plan to do this, tell me in advance, and we can think of a safe solution together."

"Okay, listen to the master."

"Well, then I'll go back first. If there is any progress in the case, just leave a message on my mobile phone and stop sending messages, so that you won't be confused during the internal investigation."

"Master, wait a minute, why did you spend the night in the autopsy room last night, did something happen there?"

"No, I just couldn't fall asleep over there, so I came back and swiped my phone for a while, and then fell asleep unconsciously."

"Is that so? Master, don't hide from me if you have something to do."

Ji Linglan was silent for a while, and said: "I just encountered some weird things, I don't know what to say, I'll talk to you after I figure it out. Okay, you should get up and go to work too, I hung up .”

"Okay then, master should pay attention to safety over there."

Ji Linglan responded, then hung up the phone and left the dissecting room.

After washing, Ji Linglan came to the door and looked at the main room.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Linzi quickly said: "My lord, the prince left early in the morning."

Ji Linglan was silent for a while, and said, "Go and get breakfast."

After breakfast, Xiao Linzi came in to clean up, and Ji Linglan asked aloud, "Xiao Linzi, is there a water prison in the palace?"

Xiao Linzi was taken aback for a moment, and then replied truthfully: "Yes, it's in the ground on the westernmost side of the front yard. Why did you think of asking this, my lord?"

Ji Linglan didn't answer, but directly ordered: "After cleaning up later, take me there to have a look."

Xiao Linzi resisted the doubts in his heart, and responded, "Yes."

Under the leadership of Xiao Linzi, Ji Linglan walked all the way to the front yard. This time, he did not let Ji Xinchen follow him. Ji Xinchen was young, and Ji Linglan didn't want him to touch these things.

The two arrived at the gate of the duckweed garden unimpeded all the way. The gate was unlocked and no one was guarding it. Xiao Linzi pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Ji Linglan.

And just when the two of them walked into the duckweed garden, the person hidden in the dark had already turned around to report to Fu Nanling.

Fu Nanling said with an ugly face: "You mean that Ah Lan went to the duckweed garden?"

"Yes, Eunuch Lin will lead the way. The young master has already entered the courtyard before his subordinates come down."

All kinds of past lives are vivid in his mind, what Fu Nanling regrets the most is the bitter trick that almost cost Ji Linglan's life.

Fu Nanling didn't say any more, and walked quickly to the duckweed garden.Although Xiao Linzi led the way, it must be Ji Linglan who wanted to go. Why did he go where and what did he know?This is what Fu Nanling wants to know the most.

Looking at Fu Nanling who was walking fast in front of him, Xiao Lizi couldn't help reminding: "My lord, please slow down, your body can't move fast."

Fu Nanling turned a deaf ear to it, and hurriedly walked towards the duckweed garden.

The yard is no different from ordinary yards, the layout is not exquisite, but it is not bad.If they didn't know the inside story, no one would have thought that there would be such a dark and damp place underneath.

Xiao Linzi led the way, came to the door of the West Wing, opened the door and walked in.Walked to the bed, groped for a while, and then heard the sound of the mechanism being turned on.The bed slowly moved away, revealing a dark hole.The opening of the hole is square, with a side length of about one meter. Take out the fire folder and look down, and you can see a staircase extending diagonally downward.

The author has something to say: Although Fu Nanling accepted concubines in his previous life, he never touched them.
