In this way, more than ten days passed, and the weather became colder and colder, and Emperor Xuanwen did not make any more moves. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's just that there are some rumors in the capital, saying that the sister of the left prime minister in the last disappearance case was arrested, and she was so innocent.

The rumors spread quickly, and in addition, the protagonist is Qi Xiuying, the sister of Zuo Xiang, and the future princess of King Jue.

Yes, King Jue went to Qi Mansion to divorce Qi Xiuying at the speed of light, but Emperor Xuanwen didn't say anything about it, and it passed like this.

Luo Yunqing has also completely recovered and began to deal with government affairs normally, Yu Chusheng stayed in the palace every day, but he didn't feel bored.

Entering November, the autumn flowers of Anning Wangfu have also fallen, and the whole palace has the breath of early winter, giving birth to a little bleak.

On this day, when Yu Chusheng was standing by the lake in the back garden with Bigorange and Bigorange chatting, Bigorange pointed to the corner of the lake and said with some fear: "Fish girl, Bigwin, look...... Is there a person floating there? ”

Bitong looked over there and said, "How is it possible, you must be wrong." But when she also saw a corpse floating on the lake, she immediately covered her mouth, and her face was full of horror: "It seems that it is really a person!" ”

Yu Chusheng followed the place they pointed to, and really saw that on the lake in the distance, there were many shadows, with a crimson outline.

Nothing like this has ever happened in the Anning Palace.

Bitong and Bitang hurriedly called a few men who knew how to swim and fished up the corpses.

Although it was noon, the lake water was still cold and terrible, and after the man who fished the corpse came up, his body was trembling, and Yu Chusheng hurriedly asked them to go back and change their clothes.

The corpse was placed on the ground with its back to it, and it was only seen that it was a woman, wearing a dark red shirt, which should be some age.

Soon there was a trail of water on the ground. The orange and the green tree were so frightened that they were standing far away from the corpse, and it was the girl's house.

Yu Chusheng pondered for a moment and said, "Go and call Tang Tian to help me." ”

She reached out first and turned the body over.

It was a middle-aged woman in her thirties, who only floated out of the lake today, and if she drowned, it should have been about four days.

But if they were killed first and then thrown into the lake, they would not be sure.

The woman's body was stiff to the touch because it had been soaked in water. The face is also a little swollen because of the change, and I can't see the original appearance.

Yu Chusheng stood in place and thought, and after a while, Bitong and Bitang called Tang Tian over.

He was also incredulous: "How could the palace ......" You must know that although the discipline of the Anning Palace is not strict, it is also well-behaved.

Although Yu Chusheng has been in the palace for a while, she is actually not familiar with many people, at least she has never seen this face.

She asked, "You three take a look, is this person from the Anning Palace?" ”

Because their faces became a little unrecognizable, the three of them looked at it for a while before they all shook their heads and said, "I haven't seen it, it shouldn't be." ”

Yu Chusheng glanced at it and found that although the woman's face was swollen badly, she still saw that there seemed to be a few clear scratches.

Tang Tian said again: "I'll check it out later, and see if anyone in the house is missing." ”

Yu Chusheng nodded, squatted down again, and carefully examined the corpse.

There were no other scars on the body, except for the neck, which had been strangled, but it didn't look like a rope, it was much wider than the rope.

Yu Chusheng groaned for a while and asked the others to carry the body away. As soon as the corpse was lifted, it seemed to be from inside the corpse's clothes, and something fell and hit the bluestone slab ground with a crisp sound.

Yu Chusheng picked it up, it was a silver hairpin, a thin one, and there was no ornament on it, which was put in the clothes of the deceased, but it was not dropped into the water, it should be a very precious thing for the deceased.

Yu Chusheng held it in his hand and looked at the deceased's hair, there were no ornaments on it, but it could be seen that there was a small whirlpool in the middle, which should have been worn.

Could it be this silver hairpin? Yu Chusheng's eyes fell on the silver hairpin again, and then he saw that there was a small word on the tail of the hairpin, which was quite small.

Looking very closely, it is vaguely recognizable, and it seems to be an old-fashioned cloud character.

And what is the special significance?

Yu Chusheng motioned for them to carry the body away, slightly calmed the frightened Bi Tang and Bi Tong, and said to Tang Tian: "Go and check, ask the mansion to see if there are any missing people." ”

Yu Chusheng followed and sent the body to the coroner's office.

Recently, there have been no cases in Kyoto, no small cases, and no big cases, Meng Hua is quite idle, sitting in the sun and eating melon seeds.

The stone tables in the courtyard were piled up with melon seed skins like hills.

Yu Chusheng said: "I've almost seen it, but I'm afraid that something is missing, so help me take a look." ”

Meng Hua said as he walked inside, "Where did you find it?" ”

Yu Chusheng replied succinctly: "Wangfu." Meng Hua was also slightly shocked.

Meng Hua briefly checked it again and made a more systematic conclusion: "The time of death was about thirty hours, suffocation, no signs of poisoning, no other injuries on the body, and soaked in water for about four or five hours." ”

Yu Chusheng nodded and pondered again. The time of death was about thirty hours, and it should have been last night, after soaking in the water for four or five hours, about morning, and it was thrown into the lake very early.

Meng Hua spoke up again: "There seem to be scratches on his face, if I guess correctly, the scratches should be caused by my nails." ”

Fingernail...... It is generally a woman who attacks people with her fingernails, but is the murderer a woman?

Yu Chusheng asked again: "By the way, you have also seen the corpse as a whole, is there anything else on her?" "She had just found a silver hairpin, and perhaps there was something else that could be used as a clue to prove the identity of the deceased.

But Meng Hua said that there was nothing else on the deceased. Now it seems that the only way to check is whether there are missing people in the palace first.

But regardless of whether this woman is from the palace or not, since the body appeared in the palace, the murderer must be from the palace.

It's just that there are so many people in the palace, where should I start to investigate?

Tang Tian's work efficiency is quite fast, in fact, it is also the proper management of the Anning Palace. All the subordinates, whether they are the guards and cooks or the porter, have been recorded, and what other leave has been recorded.

When Yu Chusheng returned to the palace, Tang Tian had already checked all the records, and there were no missing people in the palace, all the subordinates were there, so from this point of view, this dead woman was not a descendant of the palace.

If she is not from the palace, but dies in the palace, then she should be a relative of the people in the palace.
