Chapter 20 Discovery

This is the most difficult question to be conclusive

After all, there is no way to identify the fragrance except to confirm it with your sense of smell.

Even if two people actually smell the same scent, it will be difficult to distinguish because of the different languages they use to describe each other.

Moreover, the fragrance is not easy to describe in words.

And the three different fragrances that Chen Yutian had just enumerated, he himself had smelled one of them.

This makes it even more difficult to judge.

Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, he decided not to think about it yet.

Yuan Lin continued to tell him about the scene of the crime.

"Compared with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince's death is much more miserable. After all, he fell off a cliff and died, and his body was almost unrecognizable. ”

Chen Yutian listened carefully.

Although most of this had already been written in the dossier, he didn't mind hearing it again.

According to the dossier, the eldest prince did fall off a cliff and died.

According to the contents of the corpse contained in the file, the reflection on the corpse is indeed basically the same as that of the person who fell off the cliff and died.

According to the description of the secret guard who saw him at that time, the eldest prince at that time, like the second prince, suddenly rushed to the steep cliff.

This reaction is exactly the same as that of the second prince.

It's just that the eldest prince doesn't have symptoms such as fear of heights, so his behavior is quite normal.

But the two princes suddenly rushed in a certain direction, which has always made Chen Yutian a little concerned.

In a way, their actions appear purposeful.

It was as if I had suddenly seen something.

It's still the same thing that grabs their attention.

But what could that be?

Chen Yutian thought to himself in his heart, but heard Yuan Lin say: "As soon as I arrived at the scene, I smelled a trace of fragrance again. ”

Chen Yutian's expression moved, "Huh?"

Yuan Lin knew what he was thinking, so he added, "It's exactly the same fragrance I smelled at the scene of the second prince's death before. ”

Chen Yutian touched his chin, and a smile full of meaning appeared on his face.

Both sites have the same scent.

It's fascinating!

Yuan Lin looked at him like this, and smiled: "It seems that Lord Chen has also found out...... However, we still haven't found out what exactly this smell is coming from. ”

Chen Yutian nodded and did not speak.

Yuan Lin didn't care either, and continued to tell about the scene of the crime.

But what he said next was almost the same as what was recorded in the dossier.

Chen Yutian quietly listened to his narration and groaned slightly.

Judging from the records in the file, whether it is the scene of the murder of the eldest prince or the scene of the murder of the second prince, there seems to be no trace left by the second person. ”

Yuan Lin also frowned slightly, and said: "I also think this matter is quite strange, judging from the scene, there is indeed no trace left by the second person, and the whole scene looks like the two princes really had an accident." ”

Chen Yutian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, doesn't Taigong think this is a real accident?"

Yuan Lin smiled and said: "Lord Chen said that it was a joke, if the official really believes that it was an accident, then the official does not need to continue to hold on to these two cases." ”

"Besides, it's possible that two accidents happened at the same time?"

Chen Yutian was silent.

Although the possibility of what Yuan Lin said is indeed very small, it is still possible in the end.

However, he, like Yuan Lin, did not believe that it was an accident.

Although there were no traces of the killers at the scene, the autopsies of the two princes were basically the same as the physical manifestations at the time of the accident, and it is certain that they did die as a result of a similar accident.

But was it an accident or a man-made accident?

It is not yet possible to know for sure.

Although he still doesn't know what kind of methods the murderer used to create this suspected accident crime scene.

But he believes that as long as it is a technique, there may not be flaws.

In this world, there is no such thing as a flawless criminal modus operandi.

When Chen Yutian returned to the temporary dormitory of the Nine Dragons Mansion again, he already had two more dossiers in his hands.

Naturally, this was what he brought back from Yuanlin.

Time passed slowly.

Chen Yutian sat on a high-backed chair and quietly waited for Gongsun and Xue Tianhan to read the file.

After a while, Xue Tianhan handed the file in his hand to Ling Miaoyin.

The three girls suddenly got together.

Chen Yutian looked at Gongsun and Xue Tianhan, and said with a smile: "What do you think of these two cases?"

Gongsun shook his head and said, "As a servant, it is difficult for me to make a truly accurate judgment before seeing the corpse. And according to the record on this dossier, the biggest doubt. It's eyewitness testimony. ”

According to eyewitness testimonies, both princes rushed towards the place where the accident occurred when the accident occurred. This is very strange. ”

Xue Tianhan also nodded slightly: "Yes, this is indeed a problem." ”

Chen Yutian also nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "This is indeed a suspicious point, but the suspicions are not the only ones, after my conversation with the Taigong, there are still two suspicious points in this case." ”

As he spoke, he told everyone about the drowning of the second prince when he was a child and the discovery of the same fragrance on the two scenes.

Regarding the matter of the second prince, Chen Yutian made a special trip to visit the Xiang concubine before coming back.

According to the information provided by Concubine Xiang, when the second prince drowned when he was a child, he almost died, so he had a great psychological shadow of water.

Especially in the two months after falling into the water, he almost didn't even dare to enter the bathtub.

Gongsun frowned slightly, "It's really strange that people who drowned when they were young took the initiative to approach the water!"

Xue Tianhan nodded and said: "Indeed, if what Concubine Xiang said is true, under normal circumstances, the second prince will definitely not take the initiative to approach rivers, lakes and seas and other big waters." ”

"That's a bit of an anomaly. Xuan Xi, who finished reading the dossier, also nodded.

Chen Yutian smiled: "It's not just abnormal, it's just like two people." ”

Hearing this, Gongsun and Xue Tianhan's eyes lit up!!

The former said: "What the adults mean is ......"

Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't mean anything, it's just a possible speculation I made without the help of evidence and clues." Like you said, it's really hard to make an accurate judgment without seeing the body. ”

Gongsun smiled and said, "Then it seems that the top priority is to see the bodies of the two princes first." ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly and said, "Yes." After all, that was their last word in this world. ”

Xue Tianhan did not speak.

He had never liked to go to a place where the body was kept.

Even if that place is inside the Barbarian King's Palace.

......

......

The scorching sun is in the sky, scorching the earth and baking the sky.

Heaven and earth are like steamers, and all beings are afraid to avoid them.

A figure walked aimlessly in the scorching heat, on the path in the back garden of the palace.

The scorching sun shone directly on her body, making her sweat profusely.

But she didn't know it.

It was as if the troubles in the heart had long surpassed the torture of the body at the moment.

She needs to be distracted, otherwise she will already be crushed by the worries in her heart.

So here she is.

But that doesn't seem to help.

Her brow was still furrowed, and her troubles were still there.

"It seems that when a person is in a state of extreme distress, it is very difficult to divert even his attention. ”

She smiled slowly and wryly.

She's annoying.

Because she didn't know what she was going to do next.

I don't know how I should deal with the cunning national teacher next.

She felt that she was no match for the other at all.

After all, she's just a young princess who hasn't experienced much.

She was getting scared more and more.

But she couldn't be afraid.

Because she is the ninth princess of the barbarian country and the daughter of the spirit concubine.

"If even I am afraid of facing the national teacher, then what else can I use to clear my mother's name?

She gritted her teeth, her eyes showing a determined will.

Just then, she heard voices.

The voice was not loud, and the distance seemed to be far away, she only heard a few short words, but the voice of the speaker made her somewhat familiar.

She seemed to have heard the voice there.

But I can't be sure.

Standing still and groaning for a moment, she decided to find out.

Following the direction from which the sound came, she soon came to the front of a rockery, and behind the rockery, the voice came out very clearly.

"My lord, don't worry, the brothers in the cold palace have already been taken care of, and they will keep it so that those Central Plains people can't find out anything. ”

Lang Yue's expression moved.

She suddenly remembered that she had heard it there.

That was when he pretended to be an attendant and entered the cold palace before the fire broke out in the cold palace.

The commander of the guards who stopped her halfway was the owner of the voice.

With curiosity and complexity, she quietly glanced at the scene on the other side of the mountain through the hole in the rockery, and sure enough, she saw the commander of the guards who had stopped her at the gate of the cold palace.

He was now talking to a man with his back to the rockery.

Because his body almost blocked the figure of this person. So Lang Yue didn't see the appearance of the person he was talking to.

And...... The moment her gaze fell on the man, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Who is it?"

The next moment, a vast internal force exploded!!

Lang Yue knew that he had been discovered, so he hurriedly used his Spirit Fox Clan's internal force and left in a flash.

And the moment her figure left, a pitch-black figure with a hat suddenly appeared.

Lang Yue ran out a long way in one go.

When she realized that no one was chasing after her, she stopped.

"It's so dangerous, but fortunately I escaped in time......"

She patted her heaving chest gently.

I remembered the only thing I had just heard in its entirety, the words of the Commander of the Guards.

Then she couldn't help but change her face.

"Do you mean ......?"

A terrible fact came to her mind.
