Chapter 3: The Lotus Pond Water Ghost Case
I don't know which nobleman in the stone pavilion is the grace, Yu Qingfeng was led by a palace maid to the nearest room to change into dry clothes, wiped her hair and face briefly, and trotted back to the pavilion.
"Time is pressing, don't rub it in, the miscellaneous family is ordered to cooperate with you, let's start quickly." After a flick of the dust, the chief eunuch spoke again.
Yu Qingfeng boasts that she has read countless dramas, and all kinds of film and television drama routines are clear, isn't it just a floating corpse case, can it be difficult to fall her?
Let's watch her release her personality charm, show wit and intelligence, and capture beautiful men.
"First, confirm the identity of the deceased. It can be seen from the costume that the deceased was a maidservant, and the key is how to confirm her specific identity. By the way, what is this father-in-law called? ”
"The miscellaneous family's surname is Wang, and he is the chief eunuch of the East Palace," Wang Gonggong glanced at Yu Qingfeng with slanted eyes, coughed twice, and asked, "How are you going to confirm the identity of the corpse?" ”
Yu Qingfeng first bowed, and then pointed to the group of palace maids and eunuchs who were watching from a distance on the arched bridge not far from the lotus pond, "Please call those people over, I have a question to ask." ”
"Why those people?" The prince was puzzled.
Yu Qingfeng can't say that the murderer likes to return to the scene after committing a crime, and even blending in with the spectators is a common routine in suspense dramas, she can only learn the tricks of the protagonist of the suspense drama, and said confidently: "Mountain people have their own tricks." ”
The prince instructed the little eunuch around him to trot to the arch bridge, and the people on the arch bridge were like birds and beasts, and the little eunuch had to call the guards patrolling nearby, so he brought over more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs who were watching the excitement.
Yu Qingfeng quickly glanced at everyone's faces, if it was a real murderer, according to the routine, he would definitely show timidity or behave positively at this time, and it would never be a human flesh background board.
As a result, everyone was abnormal, and they couldn't wait to slap the word "problematic" in their faces.
This group of people looks at the level of group performance, and they will definitely not be all the murderers, eighty percent of them know some inside stories that cannot be said clearly.
"Do you recognize the dead man?" Yu Qingfeng asked.
"Where do you recognize this?"
"Don't dare to look, can't see."
……
"Who of you have known you who haven't seen in days?" Yu Qingfeng asked again.
According to her popular science knowledge of suspense dramas, the corpse has become this honor this season, and it has been soaked for at least three days.
"There are many acquaintances, everyone is with different masters, and it is even more common not to see each other for a few days."
……
The white eyes of the prince were late, but they arrived.
"Okay," Yu Qingfeng had no choice but to use a killer move, "Among the people you know, is there any palace maid who is about to leave the palace to regain her freedom when she is old?" Or maybe you're going somewhere, and you've said what if you wait for me to come back? Or maybe something good has just happened, such as getting rich and getting some treasure? Or maybe you have prepared a gift but haven't given it yet? Or maybe it's about what will happen soon? ”
That's all Yu Qingfeng can think of for the time being.
The routines in film and television dramas, people in these situations, plus a "wash your hands after doing this ticket", if you don't protect your life, it is equivalent to half a foot has stepped into the ghost gate.
The prince was dumbfounded and confused, what kind of problem is this.
A little eunuch in the crowd tilted his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said in shock: "There really is!" Aunt Sun, the head of Guanhua Palace, mentioned to me at the beginning of the month, saying that her master Tang Jieyu had allowed her to leave the palace this month and go home to marry her cousin. ”
"Aunt Sun?"
The little eunuch nodded, "Yes, Aunt Sun, Sun Qiaofen, 24 years old, we are all from the capital, so we know each other." Counting the days, Aunt Sun should be already preparing for the marriage at this time. ”
Yu Qingfeng beckoned the little eunuch to approach the floating corpse to carefully identify it, and asked the prince to send someone to the Internal Affairs Office to confirm the records to see if Sun Qiaofen had really completed the formalities and walked out of the palace gate.
Soon, there were replies from both sides.
Sun Qiaofen didn't leave the palace on time at all, and the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office thought that Tang Jieyu had something to summon Sun Qiaofen temporarily, delaying the time to leave the palace.
The little eunuch stepped forward to observe the face of the floating corpse, crying and confirming that it was Sun Qiaofen.
The second step is to pry open the mouths of these people.
"Wang Gonggong, these people are all frightened, obviously they don't report it, and they ask Wang Gonggong to send them to be detained and interrogated." Yu Qingfeng took out the lines that she had prepared earlier.
Falling to his knees, everyone trembled and confessed in a trembling voice.
"I said, I said, this, this lotus pond is haunted, haunted! It was the water ghost who took Aunt Sun's life! ”
"One by one, every three months one drowns, and it is said that the previous ghost is looking for a replacement."
"Yes, only when he finds the next one can his soul transcend."
"Aunt Sun must not believe in evil, and she came to the lotus pond at night to be killed by the water ghost!"
The palace maid and eunuch had a lot of trouble, and the volume was not small in a hurry, which attracted the attention of the people in the stone pavilion.
Except for Pei Wuyi, the secretary of the Dali Temple, who was still focused on the chess game, everyone looked forward to this side. Obviously, as soon as the water ghosts in the lotus pond said it, they were all the first to hear about it.
Yu Qingfeng secretly complained to herself, and she is a cold male lead, it seems that this small-scale online drama is not exempt from vulgarity.
"Be bold, don't speak falsely, and be careful to cure you for a crime of confusing the court!" The prince pointed at the accusation, coughed and looked back at the people in the stone pavilion, and was slightly relieved to see that the masters were not angry.
"It's true, it's true, it's been nearly a year, and three have died, and Aunt Sun is the fourth! Before, it was because Father-in-law Zhao of the Internal Affairs Office didn't let us say that we ...... It's definitely not that you don't know about it! ”
Yu Qingfeng remembered it again, and there was a mention in the introduction of the small web drama that the cases in this are all tricks involving ghosts and gods. No, the first case created a serial case of a lotus pond water ghost seeking soul.
According to the introduction, this drama is a double male protagonist, a Dali Temple Qing and a Dali Temple Shaoqing, and the two work together to break superstitions and expose the truth of the case of pretending to be a god and a ghost.
In other words, the worldview setting of this drama is a realistic theme, there are no ghosts, only pretending to be ghosts.
That's easy, otherwise...... The picture was too beautiful for her to think.
Yu Qingfeng adjusted her state and focused on the current serial murders.
Top 1 common routines for serial murders:
Several of the deceased were directly or indirectly responsible for X's death, and the real culprit was X's lover, relative, or friend, and he learned the truth and decided to avenge X's tragic death.
The real culprit deliberately spreads rumors about water ghosts, using the name of water ghosts to cover up the connection between several deceased, and then disguises the existence of X and his motives for revenge, creating the illusion that water ghosts are indiscriminately harmful.
The key to solving the case: find the intersection and common ground of several deceased people, so as to find out the X. As long as you know the identity of X, you can know the identity of the real murderer.
"Father-in-law Wang, please also send someone to invite Gonggong Zhao from the Internal Affairs Office, by the way, let him bring the people who are most familiar with the four deceased. Originally, I could have gone by myself, but ......" Yu Qingfeng pointed in the direction of Shiting with her eyes, and she had to solve the case on the spot.
When looking at the stone pavilion, Yu Qingfeng's gaze met Pei Wuxian again.
She hurriedly bloomed a smile that she thought was the most feminine and sultry, and she didn't remember that she had just been fished up, her hair was not dry at the moment, her hair was crooked, it was okay not to wipe her face after changing clothes, and after a simple wipe, her makeup was like a ghost painting.
Pei Wuxian shrank his neck and shook his chin in shock, as if he had witnessed the water ghost smiling in broad daylight, and the chess pieces between his two fingers fell off the chessboard in response.
