"The palace has sent someone to investigate, who went to the medicine house to buy Heding Red?"

Tatsu said confidently.

"Isn't that looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Ning Xiaoxiao, who was speechless, continued to put the file on her face, ready to listen to the torrential rain, and secretly closed her eyes to sleep.

"It's better than doing nothing, Jade, do you have any new clues?" Chen said on the right, while placing the pen and ink on the table neatly.

Ning Xiaoxiao's ears moved slightly, remembering what she had said before the autopsy.

"She said that she had no traces of being violated, although she was drowned, but there was no trace of struggle, it was likely that after being stunned, the murderer took her clothes and jewelry, and then threw her into the water, now, the biggest doubt is, why did the murderer take away her clothes, so many jewelry, who sold it to?"

Ning Xiaoxiao turned around, sat up, and looked very serious: "According to the description of the maid, Lord Ben went to the place where Mrs. Yu made jewelry, took the pattern, and then asked people to go to casinos, taverns, money banks, pawnshops, these are the easiest places to exchange money to inquire about the news, but it has been almost ten days and half a month, and there has been no news. ”

"If you don't exchange money, why did the murderer take things away?"

Tatsumi looked up at the ceiling and thought.

"Collection? Aren't there some serial murderers who like to collect victims' things, especially some particularly perverted ones, who like to collect women's headbands, hair accessories, belly pockets, shoes, then, didn't we find a lot of them in the suspect's house? ”

Ning Xiaoxiao's words stimulated Chen You's thinking, and he suddenly had another idea.

"No, the murderer is likely, he just wants to humiliate the deceased."

"Humiliation?" Ning Xiaoxiao laughed and said: "Such humiliation is a great shame for a woman, so what kind of hatred does it have to be done..."

Suddenly, Ning Xiaoxiao stopped smiling and thought:

"Doesn't the eldest lady of the Yan family have such a motive? If it weren't for Yu Xiangfeng's mother who quit the marriage that year, she wouldn't have been knocked out on a rainy night, let alone triggered, causing the chain effect behind, and she had twelve years in vain, she had enough motivation to kill people. ”

Chen You paused and said:

"Such a rational person like Miss Yan, you said that she asked Yu Xiangfeng's mother to recover the loss of the divorce that year, then it is possible."

Hearing this, Ning Xiaoxiao slapped her hand and teased:

"Yo, our Tatsuyou-sama has learned to joke."

"If it were you, would you commit such a big crime as killing people for a man like Yu Xiangfeng?"

Chen You carried out soul torture, Ning Xiaoxiao pretended to think about it seriously, and laughed:

"Lord Ben, he doesn't even think about it, let alone a woman, even if he is the same gender as him, he is ashamed, crying and crying in the mourning hall all day long, how do he know that the coffin is empty, so scared that Lord Ben thinks the murderer is him."

Ning Xiaoxiao resolutely turned her face to the side.

"However, there is one person who would be willing, she plotted many times for Yu Xiangfeng, plotted to kill Miss Yan's life, and almost poisoned the princess."

Ning Xiaoxiao, who was jumping in her thinking, said that it was too late, and it was fast, so she thought of it with Chen You.

"Yan Rubing? What about motivation? Lord Chenyou, can't you save effort, saying that a woman murdered her own mother and killed her mother-in-law, so what did she do with Yu Xiangfeng? ”

Ning Xiaoxiao said solemnly:

"She wants to kill, she also wants to kill Yu Xiangfeng, and the person who goes out to fool around is not his mother."

"However, the deceased died in the upper reaches of the mountain stream, if the murderer and the deceased did not know each other, how could they get close to her and take her unconscious away, how could they bring Yu Xiangfeng's mother to the mountain?"

"That's right, the mother of a squire will definitely follow a few slaves, where do you say her slaves have gone?"

The case seems to have walked into a closed corner, and the two people chased the murderer's footprints very hard to the entrance of the alley, only to find that there was no way, and there was nothing left.

"The official will go to the prison tomorrow to ask Yan Rubing, and you will go to the Shilang Mansion to find out the interpersonal relationship of the jade mother, now, the flower thief is dead, and the people outside can be regarded as the jade mother who was killed by the flower thief, but we can't, we must find out the real culprit and seek justice for the deceased."

"Got it, righteous and awe-inspiring, and old-fashioned Lord Chenyou."

The case file on Ning Xiaoxiao's face suddenly fell, and she muttered something irrelevant.

"There's one thing I almost forgot to mention, my sister seems to be preparing to come to the main city."

At this time, a drop of rain suddenly dripped from the roof, dripping on Ning Xiaoxiao's ruddy lips, and Chen You screamed in fright.

"Ahh

"What's going on? My sister is coming, is there anything so surprising? Ning Xiaoxiao asked rhetorically.

"He also said that something happened, the roof leaked, and the case file would get wet."

Chen You looked at the case file in his hand, a certain word was melted, and he hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe it off, and the jade character actually turned even more powerful.

"Great, you don't have to check it if it's wet."

Ning Xiaoxiao looked like she was watching a good show.

"You don't have to check anything, if the case file here is soaked, you can give the official a word by word and write a new copy!"

“......”

Someone turned around and wanted to slip away, but Chen You called coldly, "Where do you want to go?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, Lord Ben naturally wants to call someone to come and help you, come on, move the case file to a room on the roof without clothes."

Before the words were finished, Ning Xiaoxiao, who was shouting loudly, seemed to have figured out something, and an almost complete train of thought was formed in his mind.

Fragmentary clues, pieced together, an unbelievable method of murder in the secret room, helped him solve the mystery of Xu's poisoning in the secret room.

The subordinates of the Criminal Department heard Ning Xiaoxiao's call, and immediately rushed in, diligently relaying the case file, and Chen You looked at Ning Xiaoxiao who was deep in thought.

*

Yue Xiaoxiao's carriage had already left the city gate, but fortunately, the emperor of Wanqiong Kingdom did not send anyone to intercept her carriage and detain her at the city gate.

She nervously took out the letter that Yue Hengsheng had written to her, pulled out the paper in the envelope, and at the same time, poured out a red amber jade pendant in the envelope.

[Leave Wanqiong Kingdom within seven days and return to the palace, otherwise, my brother will tell the world that the eldest princess is dead. 】

The frightened Yue Xiaoxiao pulled the silk cloth of the carriage and shouted at the pouring rain outside the window: "Second brother, you come out, Xiaoxiao has something to ask you, second brother, can you hear it, Xiaoxiao is calling you!" ”

"Wurong - this palace ordered you to appear quickly, otherwise..."

Before the shouting was over, the carriage was suddenly stopped, and Yue Xiaoxiao rushed forward and almost hit the plank.

"Princess, this..."

Yue Xiaoxiao boldly lifted the silk cloth, stretched out half of her head, and looked at the person holding an umbrella in the rain in surprise, it was the second brother she hadn't seen for a long time.

However, the eyes are completely different, not a little gentle, even a little fierce, and it looks very scary.

"Second brother."

"Brother's good sister, finally enough playing, are you willing to go home with your brother?"

Yue Xiaoxiao braved the rain and got out of the carriage, and handed the umbrella to her kindly, blocking the pouring rain for her, but she was drenched.

"Second brother, is it true that as long as Xiaoxiao is willing to go home with you, you won't fight?"

Yue Hengsheng raised half of the corners of his mouth and smiled seductively.

"Brother's good sister, I finally know how to care about national affairs, this is a good thing, but it's a pity that you can't go back to the palace, and whether your brother wants to capture Wanqiong or not, it has nothing to do with it, this is the emperor's decision, and no one will waver for half a point."

Yue Xiaoxiao retreated, thinking, is this really the case?

If she really paved the way for Shunhua to build a bridge and introduced Shunhua to her second brother, would it hurt her?

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Yue Hengsheng saw Yue Xiaoxiao's thoughts and waited patiently for her to speak.

"Since you have heard it at that time, then you should know Xiaoxiao's wish, you can and Hua Lang... Is it the eldest lady of the Yan family who met each other? ”

"I can't."

Yue Xiaoxiao raised her eyes in surprise, she didn't expect her second brother to refuse so simply.

"Why? It's just a meeting. ”

"I don't want to."

A little anger flashed in Yue Hengsheng's eyes, and he opened his mouth coldly.

"Someone once said that I should never be in front of her."

"That..."

"She wouldn't be naïve to think that just a few words with me would interrupt my calculations, wouldn't it be too naïve?"

Yue Hengsheng laughed wildly, but the laughter without temperature was colder than the raindrops that smashed on the ground.

"Then Xiaoxiao knows, Xiaoxiao will follow the eldest brother back."

Yue Xiaoxiao lowered her hand heavily, and when she looked at her eager eyes, her face actually showed a bit of disgust and fear, as if she was looking at a black dog who was helping to abuse her, and avoided it.

"Princess..."

Wurong, who was holding a paper umbrella, looked at Yue Xiaoxiao in surprise and looked at her eyes, a little frustrated and a little confused.

"Enough, Xiaoxiao has promised you to go back, what do you want?"

Yue Xiaoxiao, who was lost and depressed, passed by Wurong, sat in the carriage, and said coldly.

*

Shunhua waited in Yanfu for seven days, and this continuous heavy rain also fell for seven days, and the sky seemed to be splashed with layers of ink, and it was very scary.

Every day, she would like to receive a letter from the princess, or to see the sun that she has not seen for a long time.

"Miss, the hawthorns, peaches, and pears you brought from Frostfrost are all here." Yan Shuangshuang carried two baskets full of fruits and placed them beside Shunhua.

The rain outside the window still stubbornly washed the window, and the sound of the rain tinkled and tinkled non-stop.

"I don't know how long it will rain, but fortunately, it rained, and the fruit was much cheaper."

"Just put it here."

Shunhua said as he poured the fruits from the basket into a wooden basin filled with water and washed them one by one.

"Miss, what are you asking Frost to do with these fruits?"

Shunhua raised his head slightly and picked up a red hawthorn.

"Miss Ben wants to give your aunt a few more jars of wine when she has time."

"Winemaking?"

Shuangshuang didn't understand very much, why Shunhua wanted to do it himself.

"Doesn't the Yan family have a winery? Wouldn't it be nice to take a few pots back and drink them. ”

"It's different, Miss Ben wants to leave him more things before leaving."

"Before leaving?" Frost exclaimed.

Oops, accidentally blurted it out.

It also made the entire Wanqiong Kingdom the most uncontrollable to know.

"Don't shout." Shunhua reminded in a low voice.

"Why?" Frost lowered her voice and asked, "Why are you leaving, Miss, and opening a shop somewhere else?" ”

"Silly girl, your young lady doesn't have to do business to go far away, if so, Miss Ben is gone, take care of the Yan family, take care of the housekeeper Gu, do you know?"

"Don't... Mademoiselle said she wouldn't drop the frost. The little girl suddenly pursed her lips, "Where are you going, Frost will follow." ”

"That place is too dangerous for Miss Ben to take with her."

Shunhua poured all the clean hawthorn, peaches, and pears into the urn and put white rock sugar on them.

"Then you are not allowed to go, Shuangshuang, you are a big backer, if you are not there, Steward Gu will definitely scold Shuangshuang to death"

Frost, who was sitting on the small bench, cried, pulled the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and said in a strange way:

"In the future, if Shuangshuang does something wrong, he will definitely be like Bao Gong, iron-faced and selfless, asking Shuangshuang to take out the money bag and lose money."

"You girl... I'm talking bad about the old man again! ”

Butler Gu suddenly appeared in the kitchen out of nowhere.

"Butler Gu?" Shunhua wondered.

"Miss, I have your letter."
