On the way back, Shen Lan was a little absent-minded, Gao Xu took her hand and found that her palm was wet.

I couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Did you find something?" I thought your face wasn't right before. ”

Shen Lanxin looked ahead and said coldly: "I already know who the murderer is." ”

As soon as she said this, Gao Xu already knew who she was referring to.

Shen Lan couldn't help gritting his teeth with hatred, "God is really unfair, Yuan Li is such a kind and lively girl, God just let her suffer this kind of pain, but let that slut with blood on his hands and heinous crimes so happy." ”

Gao Xu glanced at her and said lightly: "If you want, I can kill her directly." ”

Shen Lanxin immediately looked at him and said, "No, just let her die like this, it's too cheap for her, I have my own way to deal with her." ”

As soon as they returned to the palace, the two went directly to Princess Yuanli's room, and as soon as they entered, they saw the prince sitting in front of her bed, staring at Yuanli intently, with a gloomy expression.

Shen Lanxin came to Yuan Li's bed and glanced at her, it was already the fifth day, and Yuan Li still showed no signs of waking up.

The prince said in a deep voice: "You are right, I checked all the jewelry stores in Fengcheng, and they all said that they had never sold this kind of hand beads, and I am afraid that this clue will be broken." ”

Shen Lan said lightly: "You don't have to check, I already know who did it!" ”

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly stood up and asked eagerly, "Who is it?" ”

Shen Lan stared at him intently: "I think eldest brother, you should be able to guess who she is." ”

The prince stared at her, the name of a man flashed through his mind, and his expression gradually became incredulous.

Shen Lan nodded when he saw her incredible expression.

"Femme fatale." He gritted his teeth and said word by word.

After a pause, he said: "But I really can't figure out what the reason is that slut is so cruel to Yuan Li." ”

Shen Lanxin said lightly: "Then you can't know until Ashin comes back, from now on, you don't have to do anything, just leave this matter to me and Gao Xu." ”

After speaking, Shen Lanxin patted him on the shoulder, as if he was reassuring her, "Big brother, don't worry, it won't be long before the grasshoppers jump after the autumn." ”

Shen Lanxin saw that the other party was looking at her with a surprised expression, so he nodded to her

Early the next morning, Ashin rode back to the palace, he got off the horse, and went straight to Gao Xu's study, at this time, Shen Lanxin was helping Gao Xu sort out official documents.

"Childe." Ashin's voice came from outside the door.

When Shen Lan heard this, he glanced at Gao Xu and said, "It's Ashin who is back!" He hurried to open the door.

After Ashin came in, Shen Lan couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" Did you find any clues? ”

Ashin nodded and said: "Yes, I took the token given to me by my son and went to the government to inquire, it turned out that the female deceased was called Qin Min, twenty-nine years old this year, a native of Bianyang, who was killed by someone who inserted a sharp object into her neck!" ”

"Bianyang people?" Shen Lan couldn't help but glance at Gao Xu, "Then why is she in Fengcheng?" ”

Ashin continued: "Then the little one went to Bianyang to inquire about this Qin Min, and found that she was not only a gambler but also a mother who had just given birth to a child, and it is said that the child was only more than three months old. ”

Shen Lanxin was surprised: "More than three months? ”

Ashin nodded and said: "Not only that, because she owes a lot of gambling debts, so she has been living a life of hiding in Tibet, until she gave birth to a child three months ago, and suddenly became generous, not only paid off her gambling debts, but also bought a house, you say strange is not strange!" ”

Gao Xu's expression flashed with a hint of doubt, and he said thoughtfully: "It's really strange to suddenly pay off your gambling debts. ”

Shen Lanxin seemed to think of something, and said, "Does that child have no father?" Who is his father? ”

Speaking of this, Ashin's expression had a hint of disdain, "This Qin Min is not a woman from a good family, so the father of the child ...... I'm afraid she doesn't know it herself, but recently she owes a lot of gambling debts, and it is said that this time she owes a thousand taels, so she has sold the house, and then she came to Fengcheng, and then you all know. ”

Shen Lanxin continued to ask: "What about the child?" ”

Ashin said lightly: "The child is missing." ”

Shen Lan was surprised: "Missing?" What does it mean to be missing? ”

Ashin shook his head, "I inquired about the child, but no one knows where the child is now?" ”

Shen Lan thought about it for a while, and then said to Ashin: "Thank you, Ashin, this information is very useful to me. ”

Ashin smiled, "Thank you, this is what the small one should do." ”

Shen Lanxin smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, go and have a good rest." ”

"Yes." After Ashin went out, Shen Lanxin looked at Gao Xu and said lightly, "What do you think?" ”

Gao Xu leaned back in his chair and said leisurely: "There are two key points here, getting rich overnight and the child is missing. After speaking, he looked at Shen Lanxin.

Gao Xu's implication was that the child was sold by Qin Min, so he became rich overnight.

Shen Lanxin is not stupid, and he has also analyzed it, but why did Qin Min come to Fengcheng, Qin Min is a gambler, what is the relationship between her and Soho? She couldn't figure it out, she really couldn't figure it out! She's wasted a lot of time, and she can't afford to let Soho live so happily.

Shen Lanxin was thinking while pacing.

Gao Xu's eyes kept chasing her, and when he saw her at a loss, he couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?" Let's hear it! ”

Shen Lanxin suddenly stopped, walked over and picked up a stool and sat opposite him, deciding to seriously analyze and analyze with him.

"I only have three questions." As he spoke, he stretched out three fingers, "First, why did Soho kill Qin Min?" Second, what is the relationship between Qin Min and Soho? Third, what did Yuan Li see or hear that night before he was killed by Soho? "I don't know if you can solve these three questions, husband, for me?" Shen Lan's heart is serious.

Gao Xu smiled slightly and said: "In fact, there is a similarity or difference behind every case, we just need to think calmly, what are the differences or similarities between Qin Min and Su Ho, and after analyzing them one by one, this case will soon be clear!" ”

Shen Lanxin stared at him and said, "Look at your appearance, it's already analyzed!" It's better to tell me directly, so that I don't have to spend my brain. ”

Gao Xu couldn't help but smile, "You are so smart, you will definitely analyze it." ”

Shen Lanxin sighed softly, holding his chin in one hand, tapping his fingers on the table, and muttering, "Similarities and differences? …… The difference is that Qin Min is a gambler, Soho is a princess, and the identities of the two are one heaven and one earth, what intersection can they have? She just couldn't figure it out.

Gao Xu said lightly: "Since the problem is not in the differences, then in the similarities." ”

"Similarities?" Shen Lan thought about it for a long time, and really couldn't think of anything in common between these two people, "Except that they are both women, I really can't think of anything else in common." ”

"You forget, they're all people with children." In this sentence, Gao Xu said lightly.

Shen Lan's heart fluttered, "Child? But isn't Qin Min's child missing? And what does it have to do with Soho? Speaking of this, seeing that the corners of Gao Xu's mouth rose slightly, she suddenly sat up straight, and immediately understood.

"Oh my God! You mean the missing child is the Soho child? "She couldn't believe it.

Gao Xu smiled at her meaningfully, in fact, when Ashin talked about the child's disappearance, he had already analyzed the whole thing.

Gao Xu said naturally: "Qin Min is a child born three months ago, and Soho's child is only 100 days old, this is the similarity. ”

"That is to say, three months ago, Soho bought Qin Min's newborn child, so Qin Min suddenly made a windfall, as for why she came to Fengcheng, didn't she owe a lot of gambling debts later? I think she came to blackmail Soho, and in the end, she was killed by Soho after the blackmail failed, but this scene happened to be seen by Yuan Li, so it is not difficult to explain why the child is still missing. ”

But Soho was obviously pregnant before, could it be ...... Didn't keep it? She is an extremely thoughtful person, this matter is not trivial, she was actually caught by others, and in order to keep this secret, she actually did not hesitate to kill Qin Min, and even Yuan Li had to be killed, that position, that person, can really make her mad to such a point? Shen Lan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Xin'er, are you listening?" Gao Xu said gently.

Shen Lanxin glanced at him and said, "I'm listening, but pretending to be a royal bloodline, this is a capital crime, how could she be so careless and be recognized?" ”

Gao Xu sneered: "This is called a hundred secrets, and as for how it was discovered, I am afraid that only they themselves know." ”

The next day, Shen Lanxin came to see Yuan Li again, and the prince was feeding Yuan Li medicine.

Shen Lanxin said softly: "Big brother, I'll come!" Shen Lanxin naturally took it from his hand, and the prince got up. ”

At this time, Qiu Yue walked in with a delicate small box.

"Princess, someone sent something to Princess Yuanli!"

Yuan Li? The prince glanced back at Yuan Li who was lying on the bed.

Shen Lanxin glanced at the box in her hand, a trace of doubt flashed on her face, and said, "Who sent it?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "It was sent by a small servant, and it was said that Princess Yuanli of Qingwangfu ordered the incense powder in their store." ”

Shen Lanxin put the empty bowl aside and said, "Give it to me!" ”

Qiu Yue handed the incense powder to Shen Lanxin, and as soon as Shen Lanxin opened it, she was choked by a rich fragrance and sneezed, and she hurriedly covered her nose! frowned and said, "What kind of fragrance is this?" The taste is so strong. She felt as if she had smelled this fragrance somewhere, how could Yuan Li buy this kind of scented powder, Shen Lan couldn't help but sneeze.

Everyone in the room smelled it and couldn't help but ban their noses.

Shen Lan hurriedly said, "Qiuyue, quickly open the door." ”

"Why does this smell so weird? It doesn't taste like the perfume powder that women are looking for. After speaking, the prince waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Shen Lanxin looked at the prince, raised his eyebrows and said, "Big brother also thinks that the taste of this incense powder is a little strange?" ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Yue felt as if something had been touched under her feet, and subconsciously lowered her head to look, only to find more than a dozen snakes spitting letters crawling in.

Qiu Yue was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she shouted: "There are snakes, ......" Before Shen Lanxin could react, more than a dozen snakes pounced on Yuan Li and Shen Lanxin one by one, Shen Lanxin was shocked, and subconsciously blocked it with his hands.

Seeing this, the prince hurriedly blocked in front of Shen Lanxin, stretched out his hand and grabbed the snakes that pounced on him, and then kicked the snake that pounced on Yuan Li with his foot.

Hearing the sound, Taxue rushed in, and when he saw this scene, he immediately drew his sword and cut all those snakes to death.

At this time, Gao Xu and Ashin rushed over when they heard the sound, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the dead snake on the ground.

Seeing Shen Lan's heart shrinking in the corner, he hurriedly stepped forward and said eagerly: "Xin'er, are you okay?" ”

Shen Lanxin shook his head, although his expression was very calm, he trembled a little, obviously frightened.

Gao Xu hugged her tightly and said softly, "Okay, it's okay." ”

The prince looked at the snake on the ground and couldn't help but wonder, "What the hell is going on?" Why are there so many snakes all of a sudden? ”

Ashin glanced at the dead snakes and said, "These snakes are highly venomous!" After saying that, he sniffed again, "How can there be a smell of nightshade?" ”

"Nightshade?" Shen Lan was stunned for a moment, suddenly pointed to the box on the ground, and said, "Did you mean that box?" ”

Ashin picked it up, opened it and sniffed it, and said solemnly: "That's right, it was this box of incense powder that attracted them." ”

Hearing him say this, Shen Lan's heart suddenly remembered, no wonder he felt that this smell was quite familiar, it turned out that the smell he smelled at the temple fair that day was this smell.

"How do you have such a thing?" After speaking, Ashin looked at Shen Lanxin suspiciously.

When the prince heard what he meant, it was clear that this incense powder was very unusual, and he wondered: "Listen to what you mean, isn't this the incense powder used by women?" ”

Ashin shook his head, "This is not a fragrant powder at all, this is specially used by snake charmers to domesticate snakes!" ”

The prince's face was incredulous, "This is not Yuan Li...... Speaking of which, what did he suddenly realize? So he looked at Shen Lanxin.

Shen Lan's face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Someone wants to kill Yuan Li, so they will let people send this kind of incense powder, and then let so many poisonous snakes come in." ”

The prince looked at her in surprise, "But Yuan Li is already like this, who will poison her?" ”

Shen Lan said lightly: "Who else can there be besides her?" If Yuan Li is dead, everything will die without proof. ”

Hearing this, the prince couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "I'll kill her and avenge Yuan Li." ”

Shen Lan couldn't help frowning and said, "Big brother, calm down!" ”

The prince said angrily: "Yuan Lidu has become like this, how can you let me calm down?" ”

Looking at the prince's annoyed expression, Shen Lanxin looked calm, "Big brother, do you remember how we dealt with Princess Yuanjing at the beginning?" ”

When the prince heard this, he looked at her in surprise, and nodded at him when he saw the other party!

Gao Xu looked at it in his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his expression, "Xin'er, what solution did you think of?" ”

Shen Lanxin glanced at him, and the corners of his lips hooked: "You'll know soon!" ”

At this time, Shen Lanxin picked up the box of incense powder, and a trace of coldness appeared in his expression.
