Chapter 402: Murder
Murong Lingfeng never expected that on this airship leading to the small city of Fengxi, there were not only wealthy ladies like Rongyue, but also future imperial concubines, no wonder so many strange people gathered on the airship, so there is a chance that they came for the future imperial concubine.
Since she is called the imperial concubine and not the queen, presumably this Oiran is not Suo Yi's wife, at most she is a concubine. Murong Lingfeng couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart - it is estimated that this imperial concubine will not be able to do it for long, even if she is cautious, sooner or later in the hands of this group of pig teammates. Perhaps she took her own people to the holy mountain, not to help herself, but to carry a life-urging talisman with her.
The facts are the same as Murong Lingfeng's estimates, only a little earlier. Before the airship landed, the would-be princess was assassinated for the first time, but it was only her sister who became a scapegoat that allowed her to escape.
In the middle of the night, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from the quiet cabin of the private room. People woke up from their sleep and walked out of the room, looking at each other with explanations on their faces that they were not yet awake.
"What's going on?" Cui Yue asked first.
The others all shook their heads, and one of the scholars pointed to the corridor opposite and said, "The voice seems to be coming from the North Wing." โ
The airship's private cabin is divided into two parts, the south compartment and the north compartment, separated by a wooden door in the middle. All of them lived in the South Wing, and the North Wing was taken over. It was the wind and dust girls who chartered the North Chamber. Thinking of those villains, Cui Yue couldn't be interested, "I guess they are doing something again, this big night, don't let people sleep peacefully! Forget it, let's not worry about such uneducated people, go back and sleep!"
"It didn't look like it was called to play. A tall warrior frowned and said, "It can't be that something really happened, right?"
"What's going on, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu!" Cui Yue said indifferently, "If you want to study, you can study it yourself! Anyway, Lao Tzu is going back to sleep! It will be dawn in a while! Good night!" After that, Cui Yue went back to his house, and the Cui sisters Cui Yueming and Cui Yueguang, who came out with him to watch the excitement, also went back.
The warrior wanted to go to the North Chamber to see what was going on, but this proposal was unanimously rejected by everyone, and he had to dispel this idea. As if they had just run out of the way, everyone was back in their rooms a moment later.
Murong Lingfeng was lying on the bed, one eye opened a slit, and he looked at Dan Yu, who had gone out to check the situation, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"
Danyu shook her head, "I don't know, but it shouldn't have anything to do with us." โ
Murong Lingfeng sighed, turned over and wanted to go back to sleep, but before she could fall asleep, she was woken up again. This time it was no longer a scream, but a quick knock on the door. Murong Lingfeng sat up from the bed abruptly, with a shocked expression on her face, she looked at Rong Yue and asked, "What's wrong again?"
Rongyue sat up with the help of the bellflower, put on the coat handed by the peony, and then motioned for Danyu to open the door.
As soon as Dan Yu opened the door, two big men wanted to break in. There was still a lady in the house, how could Dan Yu put a man in it? The four little maids around Rongyue are not vegetarians, not to mention their martial arts, but it is absolutely no problem to fight three or five in one dozen. Dan Yu kicked one of the men out, and at the same time twisted his backhand, pinning the other big man to the ground.
At this time, the captain hurriedly ran over, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all your own people, don't hurt the harmony!"
"What kind of own people, this is clearly a murderer!" The woman in yellow rushed over angrily, followed by red and green clothes, but there was no trace of white clothes. Huang Yi wanted to rush into the house, but was stopped by Danyu, so he had to stand at the door and point straight in the direction of the little boy in the house, "It's her!
Murong Lingfeng looked at her blanklyโwhat happened, she became a murderer after a nap? Why didn't she know herself, could it be that she was sleepwalking in the middle of the night?
This can make the captain worried, there is the future princess over there, and she can't afford to offend, but this side ...... Those who can master the No. 1 room of Tianzi must also be a pivotal figure in the Holy Realm. He is just a small airship captain, how can he have the ability to compete with these powerful people? He can only make peace with the mud in the middle, so that both sides can dissipate their anger, "Yingge girl, this is ...... There may be some misunderstanding here, yes, yes, misunderstanding! We can't be so arbitrary, can we?"
"What's the misunderstanding? My sister Zhiluo is dead!" The yellow-clothed female Yingge glared at the captain with a pair of round eyes, and looked at the captain angrily, "I think the captain has something to do with them, and you are reluctant to arrest them, right? Don't forget who is sitting in our room! That is the imperial concubine hand-picked by Lord Suo Yi! Offended my imperial concubine, I think you have a few heads that are enough to cut off." โ
The captain had a smile on his face, but he was not so comfortable in his heart - the incident happened on the airship, and he was naturally responsible, but even if he was asked to pay for his life, it would have to be decided by the judicial authorities. The woman in front of her is just a maid of the imperial concubine, or a concubine who has not yet entered the palace, so arrogant that she wants to cut off his head?
"Yingge girl," a man in military uniform approached with a group of soldiers, each of whom wore a sword at his side, and was imposing. The man stopped Yingge with words, and nodded slightly to the captain, "No one thought of it and didn't want to see it when it came to this." Since Miss Yingge has a suspicion, we just hope that the other party can assist us in the investigation, and we have no other meaning, and we hope that the captain will understand. โ
The captain showed an embarrassed wry smile, and said in his heart that it didn't matter if he forgave him or not? The key is that Rongyue's side will hand over people to you! However, since the person who took the initiative to take responsibility has come, then he should also retreat. "Since the general said so, I can't stop anything. However, it is true that I have the final say in this matter, and the general might as well ask Madame. โ
"What are you investigating? Who died?Did you even find us here?" While they were arguing, Rongyue had already dressed up, changed into a decent and gorgeous dress, and covered half of her face with a piece of tulle. Kikyo helped her to the door, looking the general up and down, "Where did the general come from? Why haven't I seen it?"
"Wei Cheng, the deputy commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion of the Lower Hancheng Army. During this period, Wei Cheng was also looking at Rongyue, "I don't know who Mrs. is?"
"No wonder, I've only seen the four generalissimos, the ten deputy marshals, or the thirty-nine generals under them. What kind of deputy commander is this, I'm really lonely and unheard!" Rongyue's demeanor and demeanor revealed the word elegance, but the words she said were really annoying, this deputy commander can be regarded as recuperating, but he can't hold on to his face. "It's okay that Madame hasn't heard of it, but I also ask Madame for permission to take away the murderer accused by Miss Yingge and assist us in our investigation. Madame rest assured, we will never hurt her until the case is clarified. โ
Rong Yue sneered, "What if I don't allow it?" Rong Yue still has to tear your face with me?" Rong Yue's slightly contemptuous eyes swept over the soldiers behind him, "It doesn't matter if there is just a deputy commander in the battalion, look at the soldiers you trained, such soldiers will be sent to death when they are pulled to the battlefield!
The soldiers also felt insulted, and asked Wei Cheng to capture the little boy alive.
Wei Cheng waved his hand to calm them down, he was ready to reason with Rong Yuexiao, "If Madame thinks that girl is innocent, she should be investigated and cleared of her suspicions, so it will be beneficial to everyone, don't you think?"
"And then?" asked Rongyue casually.
"Then we will go to sort out the clues, and we will definitely find the real culprit and bring him to justice before the airship lands!"
"Then you should go to find evidence now!My family Feng'er will never be a murderer!" Rong Yue insisted, saying that she didn't want to hand over Murong Lingfeng.
Wei Cheng was anxious by her, "I know that Mrs. trusts this girl very much, but ......"
"It's not trust," Rong Yue interrupted Wei Cheng's words, "Why don't you tell me first, why did you think Feng'er was the murderer?" โ
"Because she insulted Zhiluo in the restaurant before, Zhiluo was angry when she came back, and she said that she would let that woman taste the same pain!" Yingge interjected.
Peony slammed Murong Lingfeng's shoulder, "You really offended people? How did you do it?"
Murong Lingfeng shrugged, not to mention them, she herself was confused now, "So, who is dead?
Peony had seen the wind and dust girls before, and knew that they were originally four people, but now there is one less person in white clothes, presumably the one in white clothes has an accident, "It should be the one who likes to wear white like you!"
Murong Lingfeng suddenly sighed, "It turned out to be her! When did she die?"
"An hour or two ago!" Wei Cheng replied for them.
Murong Lingfeng shook his head decisively, "I was sleeping during that time, I can't really kill someone in a dream, right?"
As if he had found a breakthrough, Wei Xiang hurriedly asked, "You said you were sleeping at that time, can anyone prove it?"
Murong Lingfeng pointed to a few people in the room, "They can all prove it!"
"You are a gang, and you have already made a confession! It can't be counted!" The woman in red was the first to object.
Murong Lingfeng couldn't help but sneer, at this moment she was finally sober, and her head became active, "You guys are also strange, I don't know that Zhiluo at all, counting, we have only met once in the restaurant! I can't just kill because of this little thing, can I? It doesn't make sense, okay?"
The woman in red thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out how to refute her, "But...... But you humiliated her in the restaurant!"
"Humiliation?" Murong Lingfeng looked up and touched her chin to think, did she do this?, "When did it happen? I just ordered a scrambled egg with tomatoes and a plate of stewed black chicken in the restaurant, what does this have to do with her?"
Tomatoes, eggs, and chopped green onions want to explain, but it would be humiliating to explain them any further.
"Just what you said is right, but since I have already humiliated her, why do I have to take the risk to kill her? Your logic is problematic from beginning to end, why don't you come to me again after you have it sorted out!" Murong Lingfeng said unceremoniously, her eyes rolling between the three women, "Speaking of which, I have only met Zhiluo once, and I have no motive to kill, but you who get along with her day and night are very problematic!" Perhaps, it was some contradictions between your sisters that gradually evolved into hatred, and they finally chose to kill her!" Murong Lingfeng spent his daughter in two, not only dodging the dirty water splashed by others, but also turned around and splashed the dirty water back.
As soon as she said this, Lian Weicheng felt that it made sense. Unless it's a sick murderer, who would kill a stranger who has only met once, and can't even talk about knowing each other?
Wei Cheng turned to look at the three of them, "Where were you two hours ago?
The three women were startled by him, and for a moment they didn't remember what they had just done.
Murong Lingfeng climbed down from the bed, "Actually, Zhiluo didn't necessarily die an hour or two ago. She picked up her small medicine box and walked towards Wei Cheng, "I'm a medical student, and I know some knowledge of autopsies, can you take me to the scene of the crime to have a look? Maybe it will help you solve the case, General!"
Wei Cheng's biggest wish now is to find the murderer. First, if the murderer is caught, he can be regarded as having an explanation to the imperial concubine; second, if the murderer is not caught, he will not be safe on the airship for a day. This time it's just a little maid, if the murderer finds the imperial concubine in the back, this guy who eats on his neck is afraid that he won't be able to keep it! Now, Murong Lingfeng took the initiative to help him solve the case, he was naturally happy, and instantly forgot about the fact that he was still suspecting that she was the murderer just now.
Wei Cheng took Murong Lingfeng to the North Chamber, and Zhiluo's body was lying at the door of the innermost room in the North Chamber, staring at a pair of big eyes, bleeding from the seven orifices, and dying in a tragic state.
Murong Lingfeng touched her neck and then her chest. After a while, she stood up, wiped her hands with the handkerchief handed by Kikyo, and said something that Wei Cheng couldn't believe, "It's not dead, it's still saved." Would you like to try it?"
