The night is as cool as water, and the wind is surging.

The young eunuch who found Jin Ling's body that night was so frightened by the feet dangling above his head that he couldn't afford to fall ill, and he raised it for half a month, and it was not until tonight that he started working on errands again.

The night wind of early spring, with a biting chill, rushed towards him.

He subconsciously shuddered, and the lantern in his hand trembled, and the flickering light shadow flickered and shortened, like a ghost with teeth and claws...... It was like that night not long ago, and his legs trembled uncontrollably!

"Amitabha, Amitabha ......"

"Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva ......"

The little eunuch was trembling and muttering, while shrinking his shoulders and burying his head, and walked forward tremblingly.

"Da Da Da-"

There was a faint sound of footsteps behind him, as if someone was slowly approaching him!

No way......

There was a strange noise again......

The little eunuch's shoulders shook like leaves in a storm, and his heart wanted to cry without tears—wouldn't he be allowed to encounter terrible things again?

"Amitabha, Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless ......" He didn't dare to look back, his hands folded, his eyes closed and he stood in place desperately chanting the Buddha's name.

But the sound of footsteps behind him was getting closer and closer to him...... Suddenly, a pair of hands gently rested on his shoulders!

"Ahh

"Little plum! It's me! A eunuch who was also wearing a eunuch uniform but was born five big and three thick appeared in front of Xiao Lizi, "Don't be afraid, I'm Yuanbao!" ”

Xiao Li Zi saw that he was alive and still an acquaintance, so he put his hanging heart back in place, "Yuanbao, you scared me to death!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Yuan Bao touched the back of his head and laughed a few times, explaining: "Didn't you be scared by that female corpse last time? I know it's your turn to play tonight, so I'm here to give you courage! ”

"Stop, stop! Let's not mention the female corpse? Xiao Lizi made the ingots jealous one by one, and walked forward with the gong.

"Why can't you even mention it? You're a timid kid, aren't you? ”

"Try it when you walk in this dark palace every night!"

"Change me, change me, I'm not afraid!"

"Then you have to wait until you really meet that to know if you are afraid or not!"

Xiao Lizi walked slowly around the palace while gossiping with ingots, and when he reached the point, he knocked on the gong in his hand, and gradually forgot the fear that haunted his heart.

The two of them gradually walked to a small forest...... Suddenly, Xiao Lizi felt a little cooler on the top of his head, as if something was gently brushing over his head, and as if something was swinging around on his head.

The creepy feeling made him feel very familiar, so familiar that he didn't dare to raise his head, only dared to cry and say to Yuan Bao with a sad face: "You, you look up at the top of my head!" ”

Yuan Bao raised his head according to his words, and saw a female corpse with a long tongue hanging on Xiao Lizi's head, he had always been very bold and was not frightened by the female corpse, and answered Xiao Lizi honestly, "You have a pair of feet swinging around on your head!" ”

"Ahh

Xiao Lizi screamed again, waking up many people who were immersed in sleep, and also startled the figures hidden behind the bushes to flee in a hurry!

As soon as Yuan Bao saw a black shadow jumping out from behind the bushes, he chased after him without saying a word, and soon turned back with a little eunuch with a thief's eyebrows and a rat's face!

When he came back, the night guard who rushed to hear the news had surrounded the trees hanging with the female corpse, and Wei Qingqing was also invited by the grandmother in charge.

The night guard was already very good, and as soon as Wei Qingqing arrived, he spontaneously reported to her: "Miss Wei, I have ordered someone to fence off the surroundings to prevent people from approaching, and no one has touched the corpse and the surrounding things have remained the same!" ”

In other words, the scene of the crime was protected in the first place.

Wei Qingqing nodded with a satisfied face, pointed to the female corpse hanging from the tree and asked, "Has the identity of the deceased been verified?" ”

"The deceased is the palace maid Caidie of Kunning Palace, a palace maid who has served the late four princes since childhood." While introducing the identity of the deceased, the guard handed the war book found from the corpse to Wei Qingqing, "Hanging, war letter, and time limit are exactly the same method!" ”

"It's another case coming at me!" Wei Qingqing said with a self-deprecating face, unfolded the envelope casually, and sure enough, he found that it was another challenge letter made up of words cut out of the notebook, the content was still to let Wei Qingqing judge whether Caidie committed suicide or he killed him, the time limit is still one day, and when the time limit is up, Wei Qingqing will die again if he does not give the correct answer.

The guard pointed to the ingots on the side and said, "He found the corpse, and he also caught this sneaky boy." ”

Wei Qingqing frowned and looked at the little eunuch who had thief eyebrows, and asked, "Sneaky?" What's going on? ”

Yuan Bao 1510 said: "When the villain found the corpse, this kid was hiding behind the bushes, Xiao Li Zi screamed and ran away in a panic, the villain looked at it and suspected that he killed him, so he chased him and caught him!" ”

The little eunuch who was born with thief eyebrows and rat eyes saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly defended himself: "The little one did not kill anyone! The little one just happened to pass by, and suddenly saw the dead corpse and was very frightened, so he panicked! ”

Wei Qingqing was noncommittal about his words, and while climbing up the low ladder to check the corpse, he ordered the guards, "Search him!" ”

After she finished speaking, she held a torch and carefully examined the corpse, tree trunk, rope, etc., and recorded the results one by one, and then asked the guards to put the corpse down for further autopsy.

At this time, the guard in charge of the body search presented a few pieces of jewelry to Wei Qingqing, "Miss Wei, I found these things from this kid!" ”

"I've already checked it, and there are a few pieces of jewelry on Caidie's body, and you dare to quibble that you didn't kill the person?" Wei Qingqing did an autopsy, and threw out these few words without looking back!

"Wronged! People really aren't killed by minions! The little eunuch with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes immediately shouted injustice, but he couldn't say why Caidie's jewelry was on him.

"Still not telling the truth? Then send it to the Criminal Division! If you go to the Penal Division, someone will ask you to tell the truth. Wei Qingqing said without raising his head, and after speaking, he carefully checked Caidie's neck and recorded the shape of the strangulation marks on it.

"Don't send the slave to the Punishment Division, the slave is honest! What are those pieces of jewelry...... It was the minions who stole it! The little eunuch was afraid of being regarded as a murderer, so he could only honestly confess: "When the servant passed by, he found a female corpse hanging from the tree, so he stepped on the brocade on the side and stood next to the corpse and picked up all the valuable things on her body. ”
