123: Progress of the case

Circled around the moat, and didn't find any clues, Mu Huanyan was a little disappointed, with that bit of evidence, there was no way to find out the facts of the case clearly, but she had already taken over this task, even if it was very difficult, she still had to continue to investigate.

From the moat to the vicinity of the palace, Du Guanyue was robbed there, and Mu Huanyan would not let go of any place related to the case.

Just when he was about to arrive, Mu Huanyan saw a figure from afar.

When I got closer, it turned out to be the crown prince Ling Ran.

"Prince, why are you here?" Mu Huanyan greeted him, and Ling Ran smiled gently, but this smile was not as sad as the spring breeze in the past.

"I also want to see if there are any clues here, Guan Yue's death, I feel guilty." Others don't know, it's impossible for Mu Huanyan not to know, the person Ling Ran has always wanted to marry is Mu Huanyan, although marrying Du Guanyue is a helpless move, but she died suddenly, with Ling Ran's temperament, it is impossible for him to be indifferent.

"Prince, have you noticed anything unusual?"

"I only picked up one hairpin." Ling Ran stretched out his hand, and there was a golden hairpin in his palm, which was inlaid with a translucent pearl, which should have been worn by Du Wanyue, but fell off because of the struggle in the process of being robbed.

"Since it's Miss Du's relic, it's up to you to keep it."

Mu Huanyan instructed Amu and Chen Xue to help her look around. After a pillar of incense, but nothing was found, Mu Huanyan felt a little unlikely, and she watched Du Guanyue struggle incessantly. There were a lot of fights here, and even if some of the wounded or corpses were carried away, something would definitely fall from the ground after the fierce battle, but as a result, there was nothing left here.

"Huan Yan, I still say the same thing, if you need my help, you must sue me."

"Hmm. Then I'll get busy first. ”

Mu Huanyan handed the piece of cloth to Chen Xue and asked her to go to all the cloth workshops in Kyoto to investigate. Let's see if we can find out the connection with this cloth.

He followed Amu back to Mufu.

Mu Huanyan has been frowning. When she got to her room, she closed the door and sat down at the table without anyone disturbing her. Grind the ink. Take a pen and paper and start writing.

Soon. The names of several people appeared on the paper.

Ling Mo was naturally the first in line, and the person she doubted the most was Ling Mo, after writing her name. Then we started analyzing them one by one.

Xiao Xuan's name was also written on the paper, staring at these two for a long time, Mu Huanyan still took a pen and made a fork, she shouldn't doubt Xiao Xuan, his character, categorically disdainful of doing such a thing, Mu Huanyan didn't know why she believed him very much in her heart.

Queen Du, it is unlikely, she is the person who wants Ling Ran to marry Du Wanyue the most.

Ling Ran's is also unlikely, he has already promised to marry Du Wanyue, there is no need to do such a thing.

After the names were crossed out one by one, there were still Chen's mother and daughter, Ling Mo, and a circle representing an unknown person.

was thinking hard, there was a knock at the door, Mu Huanyan immediately put away the paper and pen, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Huang said: "Miss, it's a maid, you have been in the room for so long, do you want to drink something, the maid cooked red bean paste for you." ”

"Come in."

Huang walked into the room with a tray and a smile.

I went out early in the morning to run errands, and I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and I was really a little hungry at this time, so I finished a bowl of red bean paste in one go.

"Mother Huang, your craftsmanship is so good."

"The eldest lady has won the award, seeing that you have been frowning today, have you encountered any trouble?" Huang asked with concern, how could her daughter not feel distressed if she worked so hard.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry, go and get busy with you."

Mu Huanyan was a person who didn't like to tell others about her affairs, and Huang saw that she refused to say anything, and she didn't want to ask more, so she went out with a bowl.

Soon, Xiao Xuan actually came, this time, he did not sneak in, but came in from the gate of Mufu, openly.

"Look at the clouds on your face, is it that things have not progressed yet?"

"I know you're still asking."

"I really don't know what my father thinks, take this out and embarrass you little girl."

"The person who wants to embarrass me is not the emperor." When Mu Huanyan and Ling Mo eavesdropped, the emperor told Zhang Xianfeng to let Dali Siqing handle the case, and after Queen Du went, it became her to investigate the case.

"However, Huan Yan, I'll tell you the truth, or you don't like to hear it, but I still have to say that there is no need to investigate this case at all."

"Why?" Mu Huanyan was puzzled, she actually wanted to know who was behind the destruction of this marriage.

"This is obviously a court case, and the people involved must be some big people, and if you check it out, you can only implicate many people, and you can't afford to offend these people."

"What do you mean by this do you know who did it?"

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I feel very bad." He had doubts in his heart, but he was not sure, after all, there was no evidence in the matter, it was impossible to talk nonsense, and he always felt that this matter was not trivial.

"The emperor has ordered me to investigate this matter thoroughly, and it is impossible for me to quit halfway."

"Ignore it, it's very simple, I'll help you."

"No need, I also want to know who killed Du Guanyue, there is no impermeable wall, there is nothing that cannot be found, and what has been done will always leave traces."

"You're so stubborn."

Chen Xue didn't hurry back, and when she saw Xiao Xuan, she still habitually shouted to the lord.

"Don't call me Lord anymore, your master is now her." Xiao Xuan pointed at Mu Huanyan.

Mu Huanyan asked, "Chen Xue, have you found it?" ”

Chen Xue was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Miss, I asked, this piece of fabric is the goods of Shengyun Silk Village, Shengyun Silk Village produces high-end fabrics, all of which are used by dignitaries, and this piece of black fabric is obviously purchased back to make night clothes." The most important piece of fabric has a flaw in the process of weaving and dyeing, and the shopkeeper of the silk village did not say this matter in order not to affect the business, because when making clothes, others will not be so meticulous to check the quality of the fabric, but the shopkeeper of the silk village can recognize it at a glance. Originally, I didn't say anything, but in the end, under my coercion, the shopkeeper told me about it, and the names on it were the people who bought this batch of fabrics. ”

"Bring it to me." Mu Huanyan was very surprised, so that the scope could be narrowed down a lot.

Xiao Xuan also leaned over, Mu Huanyan knew that even if he didn't let him see it, he wanted to know, Chen Xue would still sue him, so he didn't avoid him.

It's just that there is no one related to Ling Mo on that list, not him, how is this possible? Mu Huanyan's brows furrowed, it was he who took him up to Wangyuan Tower that day, so that she could witness the fact that Du Wanyue was snatched away, and that piece of fabric had nothing to do with him.

If it weren't for him, then he would be the one who knew a thing, and he must have known that someone would rob Du Guanyue that day, so he would take her up to Wangyuan Tower. And Ling Mo's move is to sue her, he is the one who really knows the real murderer!

Mu Huanyan was a little shocked, there were many people who bought that batch of fabrics, and there was even the weaving bureau in the palace, including many officials in the capital, even Mu Fu.

"Xiao Xuan, can you help me check in the palace, which palace has all this cloth in the weaving bureau been distributed to?"

"It's simple, just leave it to me."

Although it is not directly shown that Ling Mo's people have bought this batch of cloth, but he lives in the palace, and it is possible that he received this batch of cloth, Mu Huanyan thought so in her heart, but she is not a person who takes it out of context, and she can't be judged who did it because of it.

In order to know the answer earlier, Mu Huanyan urged Xiao Xuan to return to the palace earlier.

And some of the people on that list, Mu Huanyan also screened them one by one with a pen, because some people could not be involved in this matter at all, and with her circles and forks, the suspects have been locked on these people she suspected at the beginning.

When eating dinner, Mu Huanyan had no appetite, and he was still thinking about it. Then he only ate a little and went back to the room to wait for Xiao Xuan's news.

Luo Zhen is the prince's person, and there is no guarantee that she is loyal to herself, Mu Huanyan knew that Xiao Xuan would definitely come again at night, so she broke her up early and asked her to go to the princess's mansion to ask the eldest princess if she had any thoughts on the news of Du Guanyue's mysterious death.

Mu Huanyan only left Chen Xue in the room, and she also discussed with Chen Xue, asking her to analyze who was most likely to be the murderer, and Chen Xue had an attitude: It's hard to say.

It wasn't until almost the early hours of the morning that Xiao Xuan came to Mufu, and when he entered in the middle of the night, he naturally sneaked in.

He took the account book and handed it to Mu Huanyan, and when Mu Huanyan saw the East Palace, his brows furrowed tightly, because the record of that batch of materials in the account book, except for the East Palace or the East Palace, no other palace has received this batch of cloth.

"Are you sure this is a real ledger?" Mu Huanyan looked at Xiao Xuan.

"It seems that you trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much, and you don't want to suspect him, so you suspect that there is something wrong with this ledger, but I took great pains to steal it in the Weaving Bureau, it is absolutely true, and after reading it to you, I have to return it quickly."

In fact, when Xiao Xuan saw the account book, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Du Guanyue's death was related to the prince.

This ledger only records that the prince has used this cloth, and there are many people who have used it, so it is not certain that it was done by the East Palace.

It's just that this ledger undoubtedly pulls the prince into the role of a suspect.

Mu Huanyan had already crossed the word Ling Ran, because she felt that it was impossible for him to do such a thing, but Ling Mo, who she suspected the most, was not suspicious at all. (To be continued......)
