Someone fell behind Honghui, the forefoot fell to the ground, and the footsteps should not be heavy.

Or maybe there was something else at the time, and Honghui didn't find him.

Lan Shuying glanced at the chaise longue, and the Queen Mother obviously couldn't see this angle.

A vicious wolf broke into a pen with only two little lambs, and the little lambs were defenseless.

She continued to look at the footprints on the ground: they were big feet, of this size and silhouette, apparently the boots worn by men.

She asked Zhang Ping to take off his boots and compare them with the footprints.

The man's feet were one size smaller than his.

The floor tiles of Shoukang Palace are very smooth, and it is reasonable to leave a clear sole pattern, and the man also took this into account, and he used the cloth to wipe the floor tiles a few times.

Didn't wipe it clean.

The pattern of the exposed is similar to that of the flat soles of the zhangping, which was the uniform dress of the eunuchs.

The time of the incident is very close, and it is not yet the time to open the palace gate, he must still be in the palace.

Several other traces are on the bodies of the Queen Mother and Honghui.

They had been hit the back of their necks, their chin was bruised in the shape of an oval, and the poison had been poured into them, not voluntarily.

The reason why they looked peaceful was because they were knocked unconscious first.

Ignorant and unconscious, too late to resist.

As soon as something happened in the Heart Cultivation Palace, the Queen Mother took poison here, which easily gave people the illusion of suicide in fear of sin.

Lan Shuying continued to search the room.

Big Flower meowed behind her feet, but she didn't pay attention.

Zhang Ping was secretly surprised, the queen mother looked at it so carefully, it seemed to be very sure?

In a trance, Lan Shuying approached the edge of the desk and removed a dark blue silk thread from a small wooden thorn that was slightly upturned.

She wrapped the silk thread in a veil.

After another minute, she picked out a few grains of moist flower soil from the folds of the fabric of the Queen Mother's neckline.

With the ghost pupil as a cheat, the process of solving the case went incredibly smoothly.

Lan Shuying straightened her waist and said calmly under the gaze of two pairs of eyes: "Someone deliberately murdered the Queen Mother and Mama Honghui." ”

She instructed Zhang Ping to check if there were any eunuchs in charge of flowers and trees near Shoukang Palace.

If there is, check carefully and arrest those who meet the requirements.

Look at the garments that are stripped of the threads;

Second, look at the shoe size is one size smaller than Zhang Ping.

Third, see whether the hands and feet are flexible, whether there are soil particles in the nails, it is best that this person has practiced kung fu.

Zhang Ping took the order and went.

"Meow!"

Dahua showed her claws dissatisfiedly: Woman, don't sell Guanzi, say it clearly!

Lan Shuying pointed out her findings to him one by one and explained them in a low voice.

But like a blow to the back of the neck, a bruise on the chin, and even that pattern, it is not easy to see with the naked eye.

She just brushed over these parts, and presumably said that it was intuition.

Or push it to the family, saying that she heard her brother mention some details of the case when she was at home.

Ji Mingyue does have an older brother who likes to catch criminals, he doesn't like titles, he doesn't want to have fun, he likes to run to the yamen, and the whole family can't do anything about him.

Dahua scratched her ears and cheeks, and she became more and more curious, but it was inconvenient for him to stretch out his paws to draw here, so he was in a hurry.

The scene of Shoukang Palace was not moved for the time being, and the news of the death of the Queen Mother was also suppressed first.

The eunuch guarding the gate did not fulfill his duty of guarding and protecting, which led to the murderer infiltrating and being dragged down to be punished.

However, with Zhang Ping's caution, those two people are afraid that they will not be able to survive.

Honghui's niece is locked in her room, and two meals a day won't shorten her, but she can't run around and talk.

The eunuchs at the door also changed two.

On the surface, Shoukang Palace is no different from before.

Hopefully this news will be kept under wraps for a few more days.

In winter, it was cold, and the corpse could not be decomposed for a while, so when she caught the suspect out, she would come to hold a funeral for the Queen Mother.

……

About 100 meters east of Shoukang Palace, there happens to be a flower garden that has just been carved out.

The rough eunuchs identified each other and confessed to the three cheaters.

Zhang Ping corresponded one by one according to the conditions she gave, picked out one person, and brought it over.

The man really shouted injustices again and again, calling all the way, and almost alarmed the virtuous concubine and the good concubine who came out for a walk, Zhang Ping unceremoniously gagged him.

Seeing Lan Shuying, this person didn't say a word, and just after being let go, he hit the copper furnace headlong!

Lan Shuying saw a hint of death from when he entered the door, and he had already taken precautions.

She kicked him in the shoulder socket, kicked the person back, and said coldly: "What a loyal dog minion, in order not to recruit the master behind him, he didn't even want this life?" ”

If she was alone, there were ways to torture him and force him to confide in the truth.

But now that she is using Ji Mingyue's identity, there is really no need to do everything by herself.

This time, it took two or three hours to force out the eunuch's words.

- He didn't know who his master really was, and every time they met he was sent a message by an intermediary, who was still very discreet, always wearing a hat or veil.

"Then tell me what your master has made you do."

The eunuch said with a dying breath: "I used to inquire about the news, but this time, he asked me to poison the queen mother, the queen mother, and make it look like I committed suicide...... Before, he asked me to go to the Queen Mother and borrow someone to ......"

"Who did you borrow, and what did you borrow for?"

"This, he wrote on paper, sealed with fire paint, and I could not see it...... It's just that later, the Queen Mother asked me to pass the word......"

For a while, the two people and the cat in the house came to their senses, and they were all waiting for him to say what he said.

The eunuch's next words were indeed interesting.

Zhang Ping almost couldn't help but rush up and beat him.

Because, Zhang Ping's unlucky nephew took a fancy to the girl at a glance was bought by the Queen Mother!

The purpose is really to subdue Zhang Ping.

The Queen Mother, her old man, knew that Zhang Ping was Wen Xuanwang's head, and according to normal operation, it would be impossible for her to subdue him if she was exhausted.

Therefore, she has been paying attention to Zhang Ping's relatives.

found out that Zhang Ping's nephew had a crush on that girl, and the Queen Mother immediately sent someone to contact the family, coercing and luring, still in the name of Ji Mingyue.

The little girl became Mrs. Zhang in this way.

It's just that before she could get to the step of controlling Zhang Ping, the Queen Mother was ruthlessly stripped of the palace power by Wen Xuanwang and cut off contact with the outside world.

"That person used you as a bridge, borrowed the Queen Mother's person, and led Chief Zhang out of the Heart Cultivation Palace......"

It's complicated.

Lan Shuying muttered, "If you want to live, think about things related to this person. ”

The eunuch's eyes lit up.

If he could live well, how could he want to die, and now, she gave him a glimmer of hope.

So the eunuch racked his brains and poured out a lot of things, but many of them were useless.

He is responsible for the cultivation of flowers and trees, and some plants have high requirements for soil quality, so he has the opportunity to go out to the palace regularly to select soil materials.

It is usually an opportunity to meet with the intermediary and report the latest events to the other party.

He said that people listen and rarely ask anything.

But once, when the middleman inquired about the news with him, he asked how many concubines he had.
