Emperor Wu ordered Wei Qingqing to be fully responsible for the case, Chen Jinbao and others were just escorts who played a supervisory role, so naturally she did whatever she said, and the group soon came to Lianxin's residence.

Lianxin lived alone in a room, there were several small baskets piled up on the warm kang, and various medicinal herbs were stacked in the baskets, and there were many bottles and jars neatly placed on the small Duobao Pavilion by the kang;

In front of the kang was a square table, on which were placed a kettle, a few cups, and socks half-made from lotus hearts;

A little further along, in the corner of the wall, there are stone mortars for pounding medicinal herbs, a few wide dustpans for drying medicinal herbs, and some dried medicinal herbs.

As soon as Wei Qingqing entered the house, she found that the house was neatly tidied up, as if someone had carefully sorted it out in order not to leave any clues.

Wei Qingqing had long expected such a scene, so as soon as she entered the house, she went straight to the ondol, and quickly found what she was looking for on the ondol - a pillow!

She placed the fire on the pillow and observed them one by one, and sure enough, she found a clue as expected—there was a faint stain on the pillow!

Those stains are very shallow, very shallow, and you can't find them if you don't zoom in on them without fire!

Wei Qingqing made an inference based on her rich experience in solving cases, "Cover the pillow on the mouth and nose of the deceased, and the mouth and nose will leave such traces when the mouth and nose continue to gasp violently!" ”

After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on the small Duobao Pavilion standing next to the kang, pointed to the bottles and cans placed on it, and said, "The position of the things on this is not right!" You see, there were a few dust marks that weren't the right size - they should have rolled off and then hastily put them back in. ”

"The person who placed them should be in a hurry to leave, so they didn't look carefully at where these bottles and cans were originally located, and hurriedly left after putting them back."

Lord Zhou was not too optimistic, and said, "What if we can deduce that Lianxin was killed by someone? The few places you have found are very far-fetched and difficult to convince as evidence in court! ”

Wei Qingqing explained disapprovingly: "I don't want to rely on these far-fetched evidence to solve the case, I just want to rely on these small places to confirm that this is the first crime scene!" ”

Wei Qingqing naturally understands that it is impossible to find out the murderer based on pillows and displaced bottles and cans alone, but as long as the first crime scene is found, he will definitely be able to find clues related to the murderer, and even find key evidence!

After Wei Qingqing informed Zhou Daren and others of his intentions, he began to carefully sort out the clues obtained from the scene of the first crime......

The deliberately neatly cleaned room, the stained pillows, and the bottles and cans that once rolled down, Wei Qingqing connected these small details together, quickly deduced the truth of the matter, and made a simple and concise conclusion......

1. Lianxin should have been killed by someone covering her with a pillow on the warm kang, and only after her death was her body moved to the Star Picking Tower, pretending to be a suicide by jumping off the building.

Second, the murderer has no accomplices.

3. The murderer is likely to be a man with little strength, or a woman with more strength than ordinary women, and the common denominator of both is that the strength is not too big or small.

It was precisely because the murderer did not have much strength and did not have an accomplice to kill and throw the body alone, so he did not have enough strength to carry the body to a distant pool and throw the body, and faked it as a suicide by throwing himself into the water

The body can only be moved to the slightly more troublesome but much closer Star Picking Tower, and the illusion of suicide by jumping off the building can be faked.

Although Wei Qingqing deduced the truth of the matter and made conclusions, she always felt that she had missed an important detail, but she couldn't remember what it was for a while!

She could only put this confusion aside for the time being, and then peeled back the cocoon to investigate the case.

After Wei Qingqing found the scene of the first crime and circled the main characteristics of the murderer, the direction of the next investigation of the case was very clear, and they no longer had to go around like headless flies.

Wei Qingqing quickly assigned the next thing for the few of them to do - she and Ming Ye were in a group, and they were responsible for screening out all the women who had more strength among the women who had a relationship with Lianxin, and then checking whether there were scratches on their hands;

Chen Jinbao, Zhou Daren and Master Yu are responsible for screening men with little strength.

After they divided into groups, they quickly went their separate ways, Wei Qingqing and Ming Ye first found someone who was familiar with Lianxin and interrogated, "Has Lianxin had any quarrels with anyone recently?" ”

The palace maid Jia quickly stood up, and secretly glanced at Ming Ye with a shy answer, and said very positively: "A few days ago, Lianxin took a turn to rest, and when she came back from Cining Palace to get a change of clothes, Gu Yu came to the door and had a big fight with her!" ”

"The slave and maid live next door to Lianxin, and I vaguely heard Gu Yu scolding Lianxin for being ungrateful and not saving her when she sees death!"

Before Palace Maid A's words fell, Palace Maid B squeezed over, "The slave maid also saw Gu Yu slap Lotus Heart hard!" ”

Palace maid A squeezed palace maid B away with an angry face, "The slave maid also heard Gu Yu say that if her sister died, it would be Lianxin's harm!" Gu Yu also said that she would definitely not finish with Lianxin, so let Lianxin be careful with her in the future! ”

When Wei Qingqing saw that the two palace maids mentioned Gu Yu, she immediately asked, "Who is Gu Yu in your mouth?" ”

The palace maid replied: "It's a rough palace maid with a lot of strength!" She used to have a good relationship with Lianxin and often came to play with her, but then somehow the two suddenly turned their faces. ”

"Lots of strength?" Wei Qingqing had a "ding" in his mind, and subconsciously put Gu Yu and the No. 2 suspect on the number!

As for the No. 1 suspect, it is naturally Zhu Shanshan!

Seeing that Wei Qingqing was focusing on asking about strength, Palace Maid Yi immediately raised her hand and replied: "Gu Yu's strength is really great!" The slave maid once saw her easily pick up Lianxin and walk! Looking at her posture at that time, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to carry her to the star-picking building! ”

Palace maid B's words invisibly verified that if Gu Yu was really a murderer, she had enough strength to bring Lianxin to the Star Picking Tower to throw her body!

Wei Qingqing secretly wrote down the information provided by the two palace maids, and then asked, "Have you seen Lianxin meet with anyone recently?" Or have you noticed that Lianxin has strange words and deeds? ”

The two palace maids shook their heads in unison.

Wei Qingqing didn't give up, and continued to ask: "If you think about it carefully, have you ever seen Lianxin and the people of Qixiang Palace coming and going!" ”

"Qixiang Palace?" The palace maid frowned and recalled for a while, and suddenly said loudly: "The slave maid has never seen Lianxin and the people of Qixiang Palace coming and going, but a few days ago, I accidentally saw Gu Yu and Li Zhaoyi's cousin talking!" ”

Li Zhaoyi's cousin is Zhu Shanshan!

Gu Yu has been in contact with Zhu Shanshan!

In other words, suspect No. 1 and suspect No. 2 had contact, which made Wei Qingqing guess that they were likely to be accomplices!

After Wei Qingqing got this important clue, he immediately quietly found Gu Yu with Ming Ye.
