Could it be that this string of Buddhist beads belongs to the murderer?

Buddhist beads are usually worn on the hand...... That is to say, this string of Buddhist beads is likely to be accidentally left behind by the murderer when he committed the murder because the movement on his hand was too large!

At this time, someone came with something in his hand to report, "Return to the princess, find a waist card on the branch of the bush!" ”

"Waist card? What kind of waist card is it? Wei Qingqing asked while taking the waist card.

"This is the waist card for entering and exiting the imperial dining room." Chen Jinbao took the initiative to relieve Wei Qingqing's doubts, and pointed to a courtyard not far away and said: "The imperial dining room is not far away, and some of the old people in the imperial dining room know that there is a shortcut here. ”

It turned out that although the place where Mama Zhang was killed was in a remote area, there was a shortcut that happened to pass through this place.

Chen Jinbao guessed: "Xu is a person from the imperial dining room took a shortcut when he entered and exited, and accidentally dropped the waist card here." ”

Wei Qingqing quickly had the direction of the investigation, and said to Chen Jinbao: "Father-in-law Chen, I bother you to send someone to check who appeared near the crime scene today." ”

Chen Jinbao quickly arranged for someone to go down to investigate, and soon news came, "A palace maid saw Mama Zhang standing by the pool and talking to Master Chen. ”

"Master Dust?" Wei Qingqing was slightly surprised, subconsciously glanced at the string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and vaguely remembered that he always wore a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with the dust?

At this time, Chen Jinbao explained: "The emperor summoned Master Shenxiu to live in the palace since the dragon's body was sick, and talked with him about Buddhism every day. ”

Wei Qingqing had already found out clearly, knowing that after Zhao Lingxi stole the body of Concubine Xiao Guifei in the underground palace, Emperor Wu couldn't afford to fall ill.

That is to say, as soon as something went wrong in the underground palace, Emperor Wu summoned Master Shenxiu to the palace to live for a long time, thinking that he was looking for him to discuss how to deal with it!

Chen Jinbao's eyes also fell on the string of Buddhist beads in Wei Qingqing's hand, and he subconsciously guessed: "Master Lichen once met with Mama Zhang at the place where the crime occurred, and his Buddha beads happened to be left in the place where the crime occurred, could it be that he is the murderer who killed Mama Zhang?" ”

Wei Qingqing pondered for a moment, and quickly had an idea, "I have some relationship with Master Chen, and I just used the excuse to discuss Buddhism with him. ”

As she spoke, she asked Chen Jinbao to send someone to lead her to Chen's residence.

Wei Qingqing's sudden visit made Chen slightly surprised, "Amitabha, Lord Wei is fine." ”

"Master don't come unharmed," Wei Qingqing stood in front of the case with a smile, admiring the Buddhist scriptures that Chen was copying, and asked about the underground palace as if casually, "I don't know what method Zhao Lingxi used to steal Xiao Guifei's body, the emperor must have been angry after learning about it, right?" ”

Lichen slightly bowed his head to affirm Wei Qingqing's words, and then sighed softly, "After so many years, the emperor still doesn't want to believe that the forbidden technique has failed, and he still wants to find another body like Xiao Guifei, and perform another forbidden technique to resurrect Emperor Qin's concubine." ”

Wei Qingqing was not at all surprised that Emperor Wu would do this.

With his infatuation with Emperor Qin's concubine, even if he was asked to exchange the country, he would probably agree without hesitation, right?

Wei Qingqing didn't mention the real purpose of coming to find Chen this time, but only pointed to the Buddhist scripture on the case that was only a few sentences away and said, "I came to visit suddenly, bothering you to copy the scriptures, right?" I see that I am almost finished writing two sentences, you pick up the pen and finish writing first, and then we will talk! ”

She said involuntarily and pushed the dust to the front of the bookcase, and took the initiative to pick up the pen and stuff it into his hand.

Lichen had no choice but to finish as she said.

Wei Qingqing walked around with his hands behind his back, looking at the Maitreya Buddha picture hanging on the wall for a while, and looking at the incense burner standing in the corner for a while.

Seeing that Chen's attention gradually focused on copying the scriptures, she quietly took out the string of Buddhist beads hidden in her sleeve, and quietly threw it into a corner while she was not paying attention.

She slowly paced around the room again, and then walked back to the corner where she threw the Buddha beads before, making a look of suddenly finding the Buddha beads, pointing to the place where the Buddha beads were and saying, "Huh? What is that? ”

Lichen looked in the direction Wei Qingqing pointed, and subconsciously touched his wrist after seeing the Buddha beads, "It's the poor monk's Buddha beads, I don't know when they were left on the ground." ”

As he spoke, he took a step forward, picked up the beads that had fallen on the ground, and put them back on his wrists.

Wei Qingqing has been quietly observing the expression on his face, seeing that he just found that the Buddha beads were missing, and he did not hesitate to admit that it was his Buddha beads, and all kinds of speculations flashed in his heart in an instant......

That string of Buddha beads is really dusty!

That confirms that Dust has been to the place where the crime occurred!

But Lichen admitted that the Buddha beads were his with a frank and generous face, and it seemed that there was nothing in his heart that could not be said to others.

After Wei Qingqing's mind turned, she stared at the dust intently, and asked coldly: "There is a grandmother surnamed Zhang in the palace, do you know each other?" ”

Hearing this, Lichen's expression paused slightly, and he was stunned for a moment before slowly replying: "The poor monk doesn't know Mama Zhang. ”

"You're lying!" Wei Qingqing took in the subtle look on Chen's face, and immediately raised his voice to expose Chen's lies, "Master, do you know that you are not good at lying?" Do you dare to raise your eyes to meet my eyes and repeat what you said before? ”

Lichen clasped his hands together and saluted Wei Qingqing, and said slowly: "Master Wei, the poor monk is just beginning to understand, and the family teacher asked the poor monk to swear in front of the Buddha, swearing that there are three people who will never know each other in the life of the poor monk, and Mama Zhang is one of them. ”

"Therefore, no matter when the Wei Shi asks the poor monk, the poor monk has only one answer, and I hope the Wei Shi will forgive me."

Wei Qingqing didn't expect that what Chen gave her was such an answer, and she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart - Lichen obviously knew Mama Zhang, but why did she say that she could only not know Mama Zhang?

Why did he make such a strange vow?

Wei Qingqing had many questions in her heart, but she could only put them aside for the time being, focusing on Mama Zhang's death, "Mama Zhang is dead!" ”

Hearing this, Lichen's face changed slightly, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, and his seemingly flat tone also vaguely revealed a hint of disbelief, "She...... Dead? ”

"Well, dead, and killed." Wei Qingqing secretly observed Chen's expression as he spoke, and saw that the grief in his eyes gradually thickened, and he looked like he had lost a loved one!

He's so wrong!

Wei Qingqing frowned and looked at the dust, approached him step by step, and asked word by word: "Why did Mama Zhang and the little palace maid who served her say that they were going to Xianglan Pool for medicinal baths, but they appeared by the pond of Your Excellency Changyin to have a private meeting with you?" ”

It's a matter of human life, and it's not good to keep silent anymore, so he can only admit in the end: "The poor monk did meet with Mama Zhang today, but the poor monk only said a few words to her and left first. ”
