Chapter 825: Excessive Grief

Wen Zhaoxue never thought that this rice washing for you actually used such words to prevaricate herself, Wen Zhaoxue's heart was unhappy, and listening to Tao rice washing you like this, it sounded to her that she just wanted to say that she did not commit a crime.

Tao Mingxi just said: "Presumably, you also got the emperor's order, if this case can't be solved, your little life plus the lives of your whole family will be implicated."

Hearing this, Wen Zhaoxue couldn't argue, and the traces that were being explored outside immediately walked in, "Madam." ”

The trace looked at Tao Mingxi and said: "The little one just went to investigate, but he felt that the bridge in front of him should be the first scene of the crime, and then he strangled the person to death and then threw the body."

Tao Mingxi frowned, "How can you see it?" ”

"There's a silk handkerchief here, presumably left by the dead."

After that, he took out a silk handkerchief from his chest and handed it to Tao Mingxi, and Wen Zhaoxue, who hadn't spoken for a long time, continued to ask: "Are you so sure that it was left by the deceased?"

Tao Mingxi then said: "Take the slave family to have a look."

The mark immediately took Tao Mingxi and Wen Zhaoxue to the bridge to take a look, two days have passed since the time of the crime, and since the mark suspected that this was the first scene of the crime, the bridge was directly sealed, and all passers-by could only take a detour.

Tao Mingxi and Wen Zhaoxue took a closer look, and the guards behind them raised torches for the two of them, so they could barely see what was going on here.

"If he was really strangled to death, then there should be no evidence here."

Tao Mingxi just said: "It's been two days since the incident, and even if there are any traces here, I'm afraid it's almost destroyed." Suddenly remembered something and then asked the trace, "By the way, the trace, by the way, where did you get this silk handkerchief?" ”

The trace replied: "It was a sister-in-law who was in charge of cleaning to the slave, saying that she was also passing by and saw a silk handkerchief, and thought that the quality of this silk handkerchief was excellent, so she accepted it, but in the end, it was still short of people, so it has not been used, and it has been two days, and no one has come to pick it up."

In addition, I heard that there was a case of throwing corpses, and I didn't care much about it at first, but suddenly I heard that the daughter of the Yuan family had an accident, and the maid next to her said that the silk handkerchief was missing, and she was about to return it to her, but she happened to see the slave, so she handed the silk handkerchief to the slave. ”

Tao Mingxi said: "Go!" Go to Yuan's Mansion! ”

Tao Mingxi walked towards Yuan's mansion as he spoke, Wen Zhaoxue had to follow, and when Mr. Yuan saw Tao Mingxi and Wen Zhaoxue both coming, he was about to salute, but Tao Mingxi was a person who didn't pay much attention to it, so he said: "Mr. Yuan, you don't need to be polite, the palace is just asking you about some things, and after the inquiry is over, the palace will leave."

"If there's anything, just say it."

Tao Mingxi took a silk handkerchief over at this time, "Is this silk handkerchief your daughter's?" ”

After Mr. Yuan saw this silk handkerchief, it was an old tear, "Yes, this is the silk handkerchief of the old daughter, this silk handkerchief is the daughter's favorite kind, it can be said that it is the most rare to find in the capital, Ling Yan likes this silk handkerchief the most, so she often takes it with her." ”

As soon as he said this, a voice came from a distance, "Ah! Killed! Killed! The murderer has come to kill people!"

Tao Mingxi immediately ran over to find this voice, and Wen Zhaoxue also ran out, and during this time, there was an aura of white terror in the entire capital.

The second young master of the Xu Mansion finally went home, but when he arrived in Shen, he was killed, and he was also hung on the beam, it seemed that he couldn't think of hanging himself.

Tao Mingxi immediately grabbed the little guy who was shouting loudly and said, "What happened?"

The little guy was now in tears, swallowed his saliva and said, "Young master, he, young master, he hanged himself."

Wen Zhaoxue was a little puzzled, "Then you still said that you killed someone, did you ...... your young master?"

The little guy frowned and said, "No, it's not," obviously he was bluffed incoherently by the situation in the past few days, "These things have always happened in the past few days, and in the end, it was determined that he killed him, can you let the little one not be afraid?"

"Where is your young master?"

"Yes, at home, now, now the lord and the old lady are in the house."

He was ordered to lead the way, and a few people came to Xu's mansion at this time, and the little servant immediately came, "Old lady, master." ”

Mr. Xu looked at the two women, a little puzzled, "You are ......?"

Only then did he introduce: "This is the current queen mother, and the other one is sent by His Majesty to investigate the case, because this case may not be an ordinary case, so the queen mother came to visit in person."

Hearing that the queen mother had arrived, Mr. Xu immediately saluted and bowed, "The old student sees the queen mother." ”

Tao Mingxi said: "Please get up first, recently, the capital is not peaceful, and the palace also wants to share the emperor's worries, where is your family Linglang now?"

"In the house."

Tao Mingxi walked into the second young master's room but didn't see Mrs. Xu, so he asked, "Why isn't Mrs. Xu there?"

"Hey! She fainted from grief, and the old student had to order someone to take her back to the house first. ”

When Tao Mingxi visited the corpse of Second Young Master Xu, he saw that this situation was exactly the same as the death of the eldest lady of the Yuan family, and there were no scars, but there were very obvious silver wires on the lower part of the neck, and he immediately clamped it out with pliers.

Mr. Xu was very surprised when he saw it, "Huh? What is it? ”

Wen Zhaoxue sighed deeply and said, "Your son didn't commit suicide, but he killed him."

"What? Homicide? We're all outside, and if we can hear movement in the back room, we can all hear it, how can we ......?"

Tao Mingxi said: "Using this kind of silver wire to kill people is very sharp and fast, because it is white and very thin, it is extremely difficult for people passing by to find that there is a silver wire in front of them."

Once it touches it, the head immediately moves, and the master of using this silver thread is fast, accurate, and ruthless, and it is almost too late for the other party to shout before he is killed.

Time is running out. ”

Wen Zhaoxue said lazily: "I guess you are quite experienced."

Traces said: "Niangniang is also a person who practices martial arts, so she naturally understands it a lot."

Wen Zhaoxue was speechless, but she was still uncomfortable in her heart, and Mr. Xu frowned, "Who would have such a poisonous hand, it's really, it's too much!" Mr. Xu was very angry, but he was so powerless in his heart.

"Mr. Xu, you don't need to be sad, we will definitely investigate this case thoroughly."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Tao Mingxi just shook his head and said, "No."
