"Lingji, I'll give you one last chance, you'd better be honest, what's going on? Isn't the princess always with you? Conan shouted angrily.

Lingji couldn't stop crying, she knelt in front of the corpse and cried, "My lord spares my life, and the slave doesn't dare to hide it." The princess was always with me at first, but these days the princess is in a depressed mood and wants to go out for a walk, and after the princess went out yesterday, she never came back. It was only because the princess didn't let the slave tell the adult that the slave didn't dare to tell the adult. ”

Conan snorted coldly, and he said angrily: "Lingji, you are really bold! Do you think I'm one of those fools who can be fooled? Princess Jin Zhi Yuye, knowing that this place is dangerous, how can she go out alone? What else do you have to hide? ”

Lingji's body trembled involuntarily, and a clear-eyed person could tell at a glance that she was not telling the truth.

She lowered her head, her shoulders kept shaking, and she said hesitantly: "Slave...... Slaves...... Can't. ”

"Don't dare?" Conan glanced at her coldly, waved his right hand, and said, "Come on, pull this down and put him to death!" ”

Lingji suddenly cried in fright, and she hurriedly cried and shouted: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" The slaves and maids confessed everything, and they didn't dare to hide it! ”

"Then speak quickly!" Conan flicked his sleeves and said angrily.

"Your Excellency, yes...... That is true. When the princess heard that there was a flower on the island, which had beautifying effects and could make people more beautiful, she knew that she had to go and look for it alone. The slave tried to persuade the princess to inform her of the incident, but the princess thought that she would not let her go out to look for her, because she was busy defending against pirates. So he ordered the slave and maid not to make a noise. Yesterday, the princess took advantage of the time when Nobi-kun was asleep. Sneaked out of the shrine and hasn't returned to this day. The slave was anxious. I wanted to tell the adult, but before the princess left, she asked the slave maid to cover for her, and the slave and maid were afraid that she would be punished for this, so she had not yet had time to report to the adult. Lingji trembled.

Li Canghai frowned and asked, "The princess came here for the first time, how did she know that there were beautiful flowers and plants on this island?" And where did this news come from? ”

Lingji stirred the corners of her clothes with her fingers and said hesitantly: "Yes...... It's Zhang Da. This is what he said to the princess, and there are such magical flowers and plants on this island. also said that it was because of the use of this kind of flowers and plants that the Tang Guifei was favored by the emperor. ”

"Zhang Da? It turned out to be him? Conan stomped his foot fiercely and scolded: "I thought he was a businessman who kept to himself, but I didn't expect this guy to have other plans!" Let me ask you, how did Zhang Da meet the princess? ”

Ling Ji shrunk her neck and said in a trembling voice: "The princess felt a little bored that day, so she walked out of the temple and happened to meet Zhang Da, who was carrying many strange gadgets. The princess was soon attracted to the gadgets. Zhang Da said that he has been to many places and has seen a lot of knowledge, not to mention that there is a kind of nocturnal flower on this island, which can not only beautify the face. You can also stay young forever. After Zhang Da left, the princess was determined to find that kind of flowers and plants. ”

Li Canghai frowned and asked, "The princess already looks like a fairy. How could they venture alone in search of such unwarranted flowers and plants? ”

Conan listened to Lingji's words. The anger on his face disappeared, and he smiled bitterly. He sighed and said, "If it were someone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be in danger, but the princess is completely possible." ”

"Why is that?" Li Canghai said in surprise.

"How many women in this world are satisfied with their looks? Everyone wants to be the most charming one! Princesses, even more so. She has attached great importance to her appearance since she was a child, and she will not let go of any method that can improve her beauty. Conan shook his head and said hatefully: "What's more, there is also Zhang Dana's exaggeration, and the princess will easily believe it." ”

Li Canghai felt that this was a bit incredible, no matter how much a person cared about his appearance, he would not even be afraid of death.

What's more, this princess has been delicate since she was a child, how dare she go out alone at night to look for the so-called rejuvenating flowers and plants?

"Brother Conan, does the princess know martial arts?" Li Canghai thought for a moment and asked.

Conan shook his head and said, "The princess is a weak woman, she has no power to restrain the chicken, and she does not know martial arts. ”

Li Canghai touched his chin and said, "Since the princess doesn't know martial arts, how dare she go out alone at night?" ”

When Lingji heard this, she trembled and said, "The reason why the princess chose to leave at night is because Zhang Da said that the Epiphany flowers only bloom at night, and after they bloom, they will emit fireflies. The slave maid planned to go to find it for the princess, but the princess was worried that the slave and maid would take the Epiphany for herself, so she decided to go herself. ”

When Conan heard this, a sense of sadness appeared on his face.

Li Canghai clasped his hands in front of his chest, thought for a moment, and asked, "The princess is out, so the order to destroy the tribute was given by you?" ”

Ling Ji's face turned pale, and she shook her head and said, "The slave and maid are just a maidservant, how dare they give such an order?" The princess had arranged this in advance, and she was worried that Lord Conan would become suspicious, so she asked me to order the tribute to be destroyed during the day, so that Lord Conan could know that the princess was still in the shrine and had not left the shrine. ”

Li Canghai paced back and forth a few steps and asked, "Did the princess ever say where she was going to find the Epiphany?" ”

Lingji shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know. Where does this epiphany grow, Zhang Da only said to the princess. ”

Li Canghai nodded, and he said to Conan: "Brother Conan, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the cause of the princess's death, and to find Zhang Da. ”

Conan slammed his fist hatefully, waved his right hand, and said, "You guys, go and find Zhang Da quickly, and when you see it, catch him immediately!" ”

Several of the guards nodded yes and took the order.

Conan looked at Lingji who was raining down tears, and snorted coldly: "As for you, I won't kill you now, and after finding out the real cause of the princess's death, I will deal with it!" ”

Lingji whimpered and cried, kowtowing to Conan constantly, and kept saying in her mouth: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Locked Lingji in the house, Li Canghai and Conan fell into another dilemma.

Who will perform the autopsy?

Although the autopsy does not distinguish between men and women, but Princess Dongying, how can she be an ordinary person?

Even if he dies, he has a noble status.

Moreover, they were all men, and they could not easily touch their bodies.

"Brother Li, how should this be? Otherwise, let Lingji come and check it. Conan frowned.

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "No, Lingji has a lot to do with this case, and you can't let her perform an autopsy." ”

"If you don't let Lingji check it, who can check it? There's no other woman in this shrine! Conan said distraughtly. (To be continued.) )
