Chapter 66: The First Scene of the Murder

Su Miaojing and Shen Yunche came to the palace.

Su Miaojing first went to the scene of the first crime where Shen Yuncheng's body was found.

She took a closer look and found nothing.

However, when she examined his body, she found that the Tenth Prince's fingernails contained a few traces of human dandruff, as well as his clothes, and a jade bead was missing from the belt tied around his waist.

There were no traces of beads at the scene of the crime, so she guessed that this was not the first crime scene.

Su Miaojing glanced at Shen Yunche, and ordered in a calm tone, "You find a few more people to help find beads of this style." Remember, go along the Qingyang Palace to the residence of the Ten Princes. ”

Su Miaojing was thinking that the Ten Princes were killed at the end of the banquet, so the time should be before yesterday. After the banquet, the Ten Princes should return to their own bedrooms, and the murderer is most likely to attack halfway.

After Shen Yunche listened to his words, he instructed Qi Jun to send someone to find him.

An hour passed, and someone came back to report that a white jade bead was found in the east corner of the Imperial Garden.

Qi Jun's subordinates handed the beads to Shen Yunche, and Shen Yunche gave them to Su Miaojing, who looked at them carefully. Qi Jun asked Su Miaojing to confirm if it was something on the Ten Princes.

She took the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, and found that there was the smell of rain and earth on it, which should be the smell of yesterday's rain. She sniffed it deeply and found that there was a smell of sandalwood incense on it, and she remembered that the palace of the concubine was often smoked with sandalwood, unlike other palaces, where most of the incense was made of flowers.

His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince is the son of the noble concubine, and he often stays with the noble concubine, and he is also stained with sandalwood incense.

Due to the rain yesterday, the smell was very light, but her nose has always been very smart, so she can smell it. This is all thanks to the fact that in modern times, we have been trained to smell all kinds of medicinal herbs, so our nose is very smart.

"This bead is the bead on the belt of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes." She must have said in a tone and looked at Qi Jun.

Qi Jun was still very skeptical, "This bead is very ordinary in the palace, how can the princess conclude that it is on His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince?" ”

Su Miaojing said in a confident tone, "I once went to the dormitory of the concubine Niangniang, treated the ten princes, and found that in the dormitory of the concubine Niangniang, the incense used is sandalwood, but most of the other palaces do not use sandalwood incense, and most of the incense used is flower incense."

The tenth prince is the son of the noble concubine Niangniang, and he is with Niangniang all day long, so he will definitely get the smell of sandalwood incense. ”

As she spoke, she gave it to him and let him smell it. But Qi Jun didn't smell it at all.

She had no choice but to give it to Ling Miyue and let her smell it, after all, Ling Miyue had been engaged in autopsy work for a long time, so her nose was more sensitive than ordinary people, she sniffed it carefully, and found that there was indeed a faint scent of sandalwood.

Ling Miyue handed the thing to Qi Jun, "My lord, this bead does have a hint of sandalwood incense. ”

Su Miaojing looked at the person who found the bead, "You take me to the place where this bead was found." ”

Then, together they came to the east corner of the Imperial Garden.

After Su Miaojing arrived, she looked around.

In front of her was a fence with an osmanthus tree beside it. Behind her was a winding cloister from which they had just come along.

Walking from the direction of her left, it is to the dormitory of the concubine Niangniang, and from the direction of her right, there is a bamboo forest in the imperial garden, as well as a rockery.

If the murderer wants to kill someone, then he has to find a slightly hidden place, and the only place here is the bamboo forest and rockery.

So she took the lead in the direction of the bamboo forest and the rockery.

When she arrived, she instructed them to look carefully to see if there was anything left, whether it was the murderer's or the victim's.

She also slowly looked for clues, and after half an hour, she found that there were a few shallow footprints on the edge of a small pool in the rockery, and it rained yesterday that some of the marks were erased, but they could still be seen vaguely.

The water from this small pond is left from the rockery, and the water from the rockery is drawn from the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, and the water from the small pond flows to the bamboo forest not far away.

Su Miaojing called them over to take a look, Qi Jun looked at the vague footprints by the small pool, and guessed in his heart whether this was a man's or a woman's.

Su Miaojing found that the rockery was just right to the small pavilion by the lotus pond.

Su Miaojing pointed to Ling Miyue in the direction of the lotus pond, indicating that this rockery could lead directly to the pavilion in front, and if the murderer killed someone here, it would not be easily discovered. At that time, he quietly transported the body to the pavilion by the lotus pond, making it appear that the Ten Princes were about to fall into the water, but in fact he was already dead.

Su Miaojing saw this, and she was able to restore the scene of the crime. Yesterday's banquet ended, (the prince of Chengguo is not under the age of ten and is not allowed to participate in the banquet) The tenth prince estimated that his mother was going back to the dormitory, he wanted to find his mother, but he walked to the cloister and was attacked, the murderer inserted a silver needle into the top of his head, and he couldn't move.

So, he took him to the rockery and pressed him into this small pool, the tenth prince was choked by the water, his body was extremely uncomfortable, he wanted to struggle, but his whole body was paralyzed, he couldn't move at all, he could only breathe, so he inhaled the water.

The murderer passed the dead Ten Princes through the rockery and quietly took them to the pavilion next to the lotus pond, making the illusion that he was not dead, and waiting for the arrival of the prince.

Qi Jun can probably think of how the murderer committed the crime.

Shen Yunche looked at Su Miaojing, "Jing'er, you have sorted out the case, now go back with me!" ”

Su Miaojing shook her head, "No, the case hasn't been sorted out yet, who is the murderer?" Why did the murderer risk being found after killing people and make the illusion that the ten princes were not dead? Is it just to frame the crown prince? Or did he have other plans? ”

When Shen Yunche heard Jing'er's words, he felt that Jing'er was too smart. was able to guess that the murderer killed the tenth brother, not only to frame the prince, but also for another purpose.

At this time, he didn't want Jing'er to be so smart, this case was implicated in Shengguang, if he wanted to track them down one by one, the harem and his brothers would be suspicious.

Shen Yunche had already guessed who was behind the scenes? It's not the king of Nancang who just came back not long ago. However, even if it is found out by then, there is no direct evidence to prove that he is the mastermind behind it, so he doesn't want Jing'er to interfere in this matter.

He was sure that his father's heart was like a mirror, and he had already guessed who the murderer was? It's just that it can't cure him!

The father also wants to take this opportunity to suppress the power of King Wei in the court, since the power of the queen family has disappeared, the influence of the prince in the court has been weakened somewhat, so the power of King Wei must be suppressed, otherwise the court situation will be unstable and affect the entire court.

Shen Yunche hooked the tip of her upturned nose, and her face was full of doting voices, "Silly girl, this case will not run and it will not be too late to investigate tomorrow." You've got to eat! Even if you're not hungry, the little one in your belly is definitely hungry. ”

He was sure that she would not go back easily, but if he talked to the child in her womb, she would agree.

Sure enough, Su Miaojing nodded and agreed to go home.
