Chapter 140: The Clue Is Broken?
Ji Tianci's question was like a cannon, not giving Qin Muyang a chance to breathe.
Qin Muyang hurriedly explained.
"Your Highness, when I checked on Miss Huang in the Huang Mansion that day, I smelled a very faint fragrance of jasmine."
"Very quirky!"
"What's so weird about this?" Listening to Qin Muyang's words, Ji Tianci was confused.
"Perhaps, Miss Huang just likes to use jasmine-scented powder."
Qin Muyang shook his head, his eyes revealing an inexplicable meaning, like an old driver.
"Your Highness, you know that I know countless women, and I know the incense powder used by women very well."
"The smell of the incense powder left on Miss Huang's body is different from any incense powder on the market."
"That faint jasmine fragrance is specially prepared by the owner of the incense powder according to his own preferences."
Qin Muyang Chengzhu said in his chest.
In terms of investigating cases, he is not as good as Ji Tianci.
In terms of identity, he is not as good as Ji Tianci.
In terms of talent, it is far from comparable.
But when it comes to understanding women, in the entire imperial capital, who can compare to him.
It's not that he brags about himself, the women's body fragrance he has smelled is not a thousand, but eight hundred.
"So, you know the owner of that powder?" Ji Tianci suddenly understood.
Because on Miss Huang's body, she smelled the smell of incense powder that did not belong to her.
Therefore, the jasmine-scented powder smell must have been left by the murderer.
No wonder neither he nor Chu Yijun could find anything, but Qin Muyang found a clue.
I'm afraid that in the entire imperial capital, only an old driver like him can distinguish the subtle differences in the flavor of incense.
"Your Highness is wise, you can see through my careful thoughts at a glance!" Qin Muyang patted his ass and said.
"The residual jasmine fragrance on Miss Huang's body, I once smelled it on the body of the Oiran Siqin of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."
"So you went to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and asked Si Qin."
Ji Tianci thought of Siqin's testimony, and it was instantly connected.
"That's right, that's it!"
"Then how did you disappear?"
Qin Muyang cleared his throat and said slowly.
"I asked Miss Siqin, but Miss Siqin said that she had never been to Huangfu."
"I have sensed Miss Siqin, she is indeed not cultivated, and it is indeed impossible for her to sneak into the Huang Mansion and kill Miss Huang."
"So I thought that maybe the murderer had come into contact with Miss Siqin and accidentally got contaminated with Miss Siqin's incense powder."
"Following this clue, I continue to investigate."
"For fear of alarming the murderer, I didn't notify anyone and secretly investigated."
"As a result, I didn't expect that when I found the old slave in the firewood room of Baihua Pavilion, I was directly knocked unconscious."
Ji Tianci's pupils shrank suddenly, and a fine light erupted in his eyes.
Truth.
It turned out that the murderer was an old slave in the firewood house of Baihua Pavilion.
Ji Tianci hurriedly instructed Chu Yijun to arrest the old slave in the firewood room of Baihua Pavilion.
However, in his heart, Ji Tianci did not hold out hope.
Only the old slave in the firewood house was not a fool, he must have fled a long time ago, and it was impossible to continue to stay in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
"Muyang, act in the future, don't be so impulsive and reckless."
"If you have three long and two short, how can I explain to my uncle?" Ji Tianci said in a somewhat serious tone.
Qin Muyang touched the back of his head, he was also afraid in his heart.
If Ji Tianci hadn't arrived in time, maybe he would have become a corpse.
Moreover, because of his disappearance, he was saddled with the black cauldron of the flower thief.
It's really a strange injustice for the ages!
If he wants to play with women, he still needs to pick flowers?
With his identity, hooking his fingers, I don't know how many women are willing to take the initiative to climb into his bed for him to play with.
"Your Highness, don't worry, when I go to investigate the case in the future, I will definitely not act without permission." Qin Muyang sincerely admitted his mistake and said.
understood the cause and effect of Qin Muyang's disappearance, but Ji Tianci still had doubts in his mind.
"Why did that note in the file kill the victim?" Ji Tianci then asked.
Qin Muyang didn't hide it, and his tone was orderly.
"Xiao He'er is a remnant of the Guangling tragedy, and later joined the White Bone Palace."
"I'm wondering, will there be other remnants of the Guangling tragedy who have also joined the White Bone Palace?"
"So, I'm going to check the files of the Guangling tragedy that year, hoping to have clues."
Hearing that Qin Muyang was tracking down the White Bone Palace, Ji Tianci was also interested.
"Did you find a clue then?"
Qin Muyang shook his head in disappointment.
"No clues!"
"What's the deal with the list on the note?" Ji Tianci asked.
"I haven't found the remnants of the Guangling tragedy."
"So, I want to investigate from a different angle, starting with the officials who quelled the Guangling tragedy back then."
"When Your Majesty entered Guangling alone, many officials took refuge in Your Majesty, and in the subsequent rebellion, they made great contributions, so as to soar."
"For example, Wei Weiqing, who was in charge of the Royal Forest Army, was the third-in-command county lieutenant of Guangling County back then."
"After quelling the Guangling Rebellion, he was promoted to the imperial capital. Later, with the registration of His Majesty, it was reused, and now it is one of the nine kings. ”
"There are good ones like Wei Weiqing, and there are bad ones."
"Many of the officials who quelled the Guangling Rebellion were moved by political opponents, their families were ruined, and their female dependents were transferred to the Department of Teaching and Workshop. Later, which female dependents were bought by other Qinglou in the imperial capital. ”
"The green beads of the Snow Moon Tower, the Qingqiu of the Wind and Rain Pavilion, the Yicui and Ning Xiu of the Tianxiang Building, and the Siqin ...... of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion"
"They're the ones I found."
Qin Muyang and Pantuo let Ji Tianci understand the origin of the name on the note.
At the same time, Ji Tianci also woke up suddenly.
Huang Ping of Honglu Temple also made his fortune from quelling the Guangling Rebellion that year.
In other words, the murderer was systematically taking revenge on the officials who participated in quelling the Guangling Rebellion.
At this moment, Chu Yijun came back to report.
The old slave in the firewood house had disappeared three days ago.
Everything was as Ji Tianci expected.
"Your Highness, now that the clues are all messed up, how can we track them down?" Qin Muyang said depressedly.
He was very remorseful.
If there was a regret medicine to take, he would definitely not choose to go to Baihua Pavilion alone, but he was captured by the gangsters.
If he had brought the master of the Hanging Mirror Division on the same day, he might have arrested the old slave in the firewood room and solved the case.
On the corner of Ji Tianci's mouth, a faint arc was crossed.
With this look of bamboo in his chest, Chu Yijun was dizzy in front of him.
Ji Tianci took a sip of fragrant tea and said lightly.
"Who said it was cut off first?"
"Look at the opposite, I think that the clue is not only broken, but also exceptionally clear."
Qin Muyang and Chu Yijun looked at Ji Tianci blankly.
Where's the clue?
How did they not see it?
"Your Highness, where is the clue?" Qin Muyang scratched his head and ears anxiously, as if he wanted to know the truth immediately.
Ji Tianci spoke slowly.
"The clue is on Huang Ping."
