Chapter 117 The Case of Qixiang 15
King Yi'an's carriage hurried back to the gate of the palace. Qi Yun and Lan Bo were already waiting at the gate. They were very nervous when they saw the unconscious Yan Mo!
Qi Yun: "What's wrong with the boss?"

"Prepare the medicinal bath, perspiration and detoxification formula!" Qi Ming carried Yan Mo on his shoulders, and ordered Lan Bo!

"Yes! My lord!" Lan Bo moved quickly, and immediately ordered the maidservants to get ready!
Qi Ming: "Lu Jiu! Notify the Jingzhao Mansion, seal the city gates, and hunt down the servants of the Fang Mansion!"

"Yes!" Lu Jiu bowed, "But, what does the prince's Fangfu servant look like?"

Qi Ming: "I haven't seen it before, you should inform Jing Zhaoyin first and ask him to send someone to Fangfu to investigate!"

"Yes!" Lu Jiu took the order and rode to Jingzhao Mansion!
"Brother Ming, are you sure it's him?" the prince asked, helping Yan Mo, following Qi Ming.

"Brother Huang, do you still remember that when the official of Jingzhao Mansion reported back, he said that the male servant once sorted out books and spices in the secret room of the study, which shows that he also understands incense, but he didn't hear Mr. Fang's voice of seeking pleasure. The sound insulation of the secret room is very good, and it is perfect for slaughtering and dissecting corpses in it." Qi Ming walked quickly to Yanmingyuan, Qi Yun followed behind them.

"Your Highness!" Bai Xue, who came up to her, said worriedly, "You're all soaked!"

Prince: "Bai Xue! Go to Donglin Courtyard and get a set of clothes!"

Bai Xue looked at the unconscious Yan Mo, quickly said yes, and trotted to Donglin courtyard!
In the Yanming Courtyard, the bamboo water was poured into the big wooden barrel from the bucket. After putting all the prepared medicinal materials in, the prince and prince came in with Yan Mo on their shoulders. They cooperated to put Yan Mo into the bathtub The maidservants came to serve.
"His Royal Highness, my lord, please." Lan Bo made a gesture of invitation outside the screen.

"Sister." Zhu Shui walked out of the house with the two brothers, he kept looking back, his face was full of worry.
After the prince and Qi Ming went to the side room, Lan Bo and Zhu Shui stepped out of the main room and guarded the gate with Qi Yun.

The rain outside finally lightened and became dense.
Qi Ming returned to the side room, and under the service of the maid, he simply brushed his hair and changed his clothes.
Bai Xue rushed over with his clothes in his arms, he put down the oil-paper umbrella, saluted Qi Ming hurriedly, and then walked into the back room to help the prince change his clothes.
Qi Ming glanced at the inner room, and held an umbrella to the door of the main house. When he saw Lan Bo guarding the door, he obediently stood there and waited.

Not long after, the prince changed into simple clothes and came in a hurry, followed by Bai Xue holding an umbrella.
"His Royal Highness, wait for the villain" Bai Xue is not tall enough, struggling to hold the umbrella.
"You stay here!" The prince took the umbrella and walked quickly to the main house.

"Brother Huang." Qi Ming bowed and saluted.

Prince: "How?"

"Not awake yet," Qi Ming shook his head and said.

"My lord!" A guard came out in the rain, knelt on one knee and said, "Another girl's body was found in an alley in the east of the city!"

Qi Ming and the prince: "!!!"

Guard: "The subordinates have sent someone to send the body to Jingzhao Mansion! Mr. Fang has stunned the officials of Jingzhao Mansion, and no one is watching in the alley. When we arrived and started searching, the murderer had already finished throwing the body and disappeared. !"

The prince looked at Qi Ming and said, "It's the time when we are staying in Fangfu."

"Continue to search, and don't let any suspicious person go!" Qi Ming ordered.

"Yes!" The guard led the order!

King Xing had just arrived at Yanmingyuan, and when he heard the news from a distance, he couldn't help clenching his fists, his heart was full of indignation!
"This person won't get rid of! It's hard to get rid of the hatred in Xiao Wang's heart!!" He punched and hit the tree trunk hard! !

"Your Highness Ninth! Slow down! The doctor ordered you to rest well!" Panting heavily, Qiu Bo trotted after him holding an umbrella.

"My lord!" Qi Yun came to Qi Ming and petitioned, "Send your subordinates to Jingzhao Mansion for an autopsy?"

"." Qi Ming was slightly surprised, he had thought that Qi Yun would definitely wake up by guarding Yan Mo.

Qi Yunming said: "I have the prince to take care of the head, I don't worry! Besides, I also want to contribute!"

Qi Ming took the token from his waist and said, "Mr. Lao Qi is here!"

Qi Yun nodded, took the token and was ready to set off. He turned around and saw King Xing, and saluted, "I've seen Jiu."

"No, no! Mister Qi, let's get busy!" King Xing stepped forward a few steps, hid under the umbrella that the prince welcomed, and asked, "How is she?"

Qi Ming: "You haven't woken up Nine Emperor Brothers yet, your mist has just been released."

"My lord." Uncle Qiu wrinkled his facial features and said helplessly, "Your Majesty the Ninth Highness heard that you are back, so if you insist on coming, the servants will stop you."

Qi Ming nodded to show that he didn't blame him.

Uncle Qiu quietly bowed his body and stayed where he was for orders.

"Brother Erhuang, don't worry, it's just a mere scent, Xiao Wang is fine, a vicious murderer!" King Xing said with a straight face, "Killed another one!!"

Qi Ming: "This king has already notified Jing Zhaoyin to arrest the suspect, Brother Nine Emperors, you can rest at ease."

"How can I be at ease? Tell Xiao Wang, who is the suspect?!" King Xing was excited, grabbed Qi Ming's arm and said, "When you see those girls, you will think of Xiao Ling'er! Xiao Wang will definitely pay him back!! "After speaking, he felt warmth in his palms, looked down, and exclaimed, "Second Brother! Your injury!!"

Because of the rain and the use of force, the wound on Qi Ming's arm opened again, and blood seeped out of his sleeve!
Prince: "Brother Ming!"

"My lord!" Lan Bo and Qiu Bo rushed to meet him!

"It's nothing, it's just a skin injury." Qi Ming gestured with his hand not to worry.

Lan Bo opened the other party's sleeve, saw that the bandages were all red, and said without hesitation, "Change the medicine first!" He pulled Qi Ming into the main room, "Bamboo water, the medicine box."

King Xing and the crown prince followed into the main house.

When Zhushui brought the medicine box, Lan Bo skillfully removed the old bandages and began to treat the wound, Qiu Bo was there to help
Qi Ming looked at King Xing and said earnestly: "Brother Nine Emperors, leave this matter to me and Brother Huang. Don't participate in it. We will worry about you!"

"You don't want to treat Xiao Wang as a child!!" Xing Wang excitedly said, "I have heard from my ears that Brother Erhuang has settled all kinds of troubles. Finally, given this opportunity, Xiao Wang can also help!" He begged, "Don Drive me away. Second brother! Big brother!"

The prince was moved: "Brother Lin."

"Ever since the second elder brother left the palace," King Xing pouted and held back his tears, "There are very few opportunities for our brothers to get together. This time I am leaving the palace not only because I miss the second elder brother, but also because the Taifu said in the morning class. However, you have to go deep into the people to truly understand the sufferings of the people! I don’t have lofty ambitions. It’s best to be an idle prince in the future, eating, drinking and having fun, but I don’t want to be closed in the palace and only see what others want to show me , the understanding of the world is limited to red walls and high tiles."

"Ninth brother." Qi Ming was shocked by his younger brother's growth, and said with a smile, "I underestimated you. However, you are not deeply involved in the world. Once you leave the palace, you will encounter such a vicious thing. Second brother is really relieved No down."

"." King Xing shed tears, drooping his eyes and remaining silent
"I appreciate your righteous heart!" Yan Mo changed into dry clothes and came out of the back room.

"Are you alright?!" King Xing said, turning from sadness to joy when he heard this!
"You're fine, can I still be fine?!" Yan Mo walked up to King Xing, slapped him on the chest with his backhand and said!
"Hey! Then we can catch the murderer!" King Xing's morale was boosted, and he wanted to go out after pulling Yan Mo away!

Yan Mo stopped the other party and said: "But what they said is right, if you have one more you, you will be more worried. I am also a sister, so I can understand them."

"...Why are you like this!" Xing Wang said dissatisfied, "Xiao Wang just wants to help!"

"Don't talk like we've been venting through the same nostrils!" Yan Mo pressed King Xing on the seat, turned to Qi Ming and said, "The murderer is a servant of the Fang Mansion! Hurry up and issue a warrant!!"

Looking at the other party, Qi Ming said with a slight smile, "I've already given orders. Lu Jiu has already gone to inform Jing Zhaoyin. The guards are looking for the murderer."

"How do you know?" Yan Mo asked in surprise!

Qi Ming: "I've been following the whole process, and it's not difficult to come to a conclusion based on your thinking."

Yan Mo's eyes fell on the other party's wound: "...the back door of Fang's mansion, do you have any clues?"

Qi Ming took a few glances at the other party before saying, "Yan'er. The guards found a new corpse in the alley. Just as we were stranded in Fangfu, the murderer killed another girl and disappeared."

"!!!" Yan Mo felt a twinge in his stomach, "No! I have to go to Jingzhao Mansion!!"

"Mr. Qi has already gone to the autopsy!" The crown prince stopped Yan Mo and said, "You just woke up, you need a good rest!"

"It's my fault!" Yan Mo blamed himself, "If I could have figured it out earlier and controlled Fangfu for investigation earlier, I wouldn't have done it."

"It's not your fault, princess!" Lan Bo tied up the bandage, pulled down Qi Ming's sleeve and said, "The most important thing now is to arrest the murderer, so as to prevent him from committing another crime!"

After being reminded, Yan Mo suddenly thought: "The vegetable market! That's the murderer's hunting ground!!"

"Maybe, he will ambush there and abduct the girl again!!" King Xing said excitedly!

"My lord!" Lu Jiu hurried back, ran into the Yanming Courtyard, and clapped his hands outside the main house door, "Jing Zhaoyin has ordered the entire city to arrest the murderer, and sent people to Fang's mansion to inquire about the characteristics of the servants. Brother Xiao Let your subordinates take the lead, the steward of the Fang residence has already woken up, and identified the male servant as the one who attacked him! Mr. Fang is still in a coma!"

Qi Ming: "Lu Jiu! Send someone to monitor the Chengdong vegetable market!"

Lu Jiu: "My lord, Brother Xiao has gone to the vegetable market to spy on him!"

"I'm going to have a look!" Yan Mo shook off the prince's hand and walked outside.

"Bring Xiao Wang!" King Xing quickly followed!
"No!" The crown prince pulled Yan Mo and Xing Wang down, "I won't allow you to go into danger again!"

"Brother Jin!"

"Brother Prince!!"

Prince: "Let the arrest of the murderer be handed over to the guards, you must rest well!"

Lu Jiu: "Princess, the vegetable market will only open tomorrow morning. At night, people go to the building to be empty. If the murderer appears, with Brother Xiao's skills, he will definitely be able to catch him!"

Yan Mo: "You forgot! The servant has a mist in his hand!!"

Qi Ming asked Lan Bo: "Is there a way to guard against Mixiang?"

Lan Bo: "Then you have to know the ingredients of Mixiang before you can mix and match defensive incense according to different ingredients."

"Brother Qingmu understands incense! He knows the ingredients of Mixiang, maybe he has a way!" Yan Mo pulled Lan Bo up and said, "Go to Jingzhao Mansion!"

The night rain finally stopped, and the fire in Jingzhao Mansion was brightly lit. Mr. Fu Yin, who was pulled up in the middle of the night, was sitting in the lobby, dozing off, and Qi Yun was examining the girl's body in the backyard.
"The murderer's technique is more proficient, and the limbs are cleanly severed." Qi Yun looked at the split corpse and said, "The bruises on the legs are from the beatings. The incisions are very neat. The murderer probably used a butcher's knife." He broke He opened the girl's mouth to check and found a white foreign matter in it. He sniffed it closer and cursed, "Ugh, this beast! It's so meticulously carved, it seems that this time he is not only able to handle it with ease, but also enjoys the cracking process very much. Good! The murderer is growing so fast, I'm afraid he will commit another crime soon!! I have to notify the head of the family!!"

On the wall outside Jingzhao Mansion's prison, Yang Mitu took advantage of the lax guard in the mansion and poked his head out quietly. Seeing that the only remaining official was dozing off, she helped her lightly and fell into the courtyard. She moved swiftly and came to the prison door!
The official's doze was in full swing, Yang Mitu gently pulled the key to the cell door, she tiptoedly opened the big lock, hung the key back, and sneaked into the cell.
Outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, Yan Mo got out of the carriage. When he entered the mansion, he saw Jing Zhaoyin dozing off in the lobby. She took three steps in parallel and advanced quickly, Jing Zhaoyin shouted in surprise!
"Who?! Who is so bold! Dare to trespass in Jingzhao Mansion!!" Jing Zhaoyin looked intently, and saw that Yan Mo immediately changed his face and said, "Ha, it turned out to be the concubine, the lower official was sleepy and confused I’ve seen the concubine.” Standing up to meet her, he turned his eyes towards the outside, and hurriedly straightened his clothes and went forward, “Your Majesty welcomes His Highness the Crown Prince! His Highness King Yi’an! His Highness King Xing!”

The crown prince in brocade attire signaled with his hand: "Get up, Mr. Fu Yin. I heard about the case of the girl's splitting up. The murderer has not been caught yet, so I am here to follow up."

"The lower officials have sent people to step up the search, and with King An's help, we will surely catch the villains!!" Jing Zhaoyin said respectfully.

Prince: "Master Fu Yin just arrests people, if you need anything, just tell me!"

Jing Zhaoyin: "Yes! I will do my best!!"

"Master! You're awake!" Qi Yun saw the people in the lobby, and hurried up to greet him, "I've seen you, Your Highness."

Yan Mo: "How about the autopsy?"

Qi Yun: "The master, the murderer has become more and more proficient in dismembering girls. Judging from the traces left on the corpse, the murderer is likely to commit another crime in a short time!"

"We must take him down before!" Yan Mo turned to Jing Zhaoyin, "Master Fu Yin, bring us to see Qing Muhui."

"Yes, please come with the officer." Jing Zhaoyin led the way to the prison.

Not long after, when everyone came to the prison door, Jing Zhaoyin put on an official air and coughed a few times, and the dozing off officials instantly woke up!

"My lord!" Several officials bowed their heads and said, "My lord, forgive me! I'm originally on a day shift, so it's inevitable to take over temporarily."

Jing Zhaoyin sneaked a few glances at the prince before saying, "I know about the special situation, and I will settle accounts with you later! Open the door!"

"Yes!" The officer in charge of the key was about to open the door, but found that the lock was open. He hurriedly used his body to cover it, pretending to open the lock, and said in his heart, he was in a daze!Forgot to lock it! !
After the prison door was opened, a group of people entered in an orderly manner
Yang Mitu looked around in the prison, passed several rows of common cells, and finally found Aoki Hui!

"Young Master Qingmu." Yang Mitu was about to say hello when she heard footsteps behind her, forcing her to hide in a corner!
Yan Mo was dumbfounded when he saw Qing Muhui's solitary cell. It was an extremely luxurious and comfortable cell, with windows, a balcony, elegant screens, and all kinds of furniture. The bed was made of huanghuali wood, and the table It is made of golden nanmu, and there are even potted decorations!The room is hung with aqua blue curtains, visually reducing the temperature, and comes with various books and pens. This is a truly luxurious single room!Aoki Teru was sitting quietly on the bed
Yan Mo looked at Qi Ming, his eyes seemed to say: Do you want to be so exaggerated? ! !

Qi Ming smiled slightly with embarrassing eyebrows: "It's not my king."

"Ahaha~" Jing Zhaoyin greeted him with a smile, "Prince Concubine, don't worry, how can I let Mr. Aoki suffer! These are all 'normal treatment'!" He said with a smile, "Mr. Aoki wants to drink tea. Xiaguan gave Wenxian black tea, Mr. Qingmu wants to go to bed, and the official shop is ice silk mattress, Mr. Qingmu wants to eat, Xiaguan" he stopped, because everyone's eyes were focused on the prison.
Everyone found that Jing Zhaoyin's words were like instructions, and Aoki Hui obeyed like a wooden man, drinking tea and sleeping, because there was no meal on the table, he was going to pick up the candlestick as food.
"Brother Aoki!!" Yan Mo stopped him, "Quick! Let him sit down!!"

As soon as Aoki Hui heard this, he immediately put down the candlestick and sat down obediently.

All the people: "."

"Second Master?" Qi Yun couldn't believe it, "Second Master, what happened to you?!"

"Brother Qingmu! The case has made new progress, and I need your help!" Yan Mo said with a straight face, but when she found that the other party didn't respond, she called again, "Brother Qingmu?"

This situation really frightened Jing Zhaoyin: "It's not the official, the official just ordered his subordinates to take good care of Young Master Aoki, never, never harmed him! How did Young Master Aoki become like this?"

"Second master, stretch out your left hand?" Qi Yun tried to order.

Aoki Teru did as he did, obediently reaching out his hand like a cute dog.
Qi Yun: "Put out your tongue?"

Aoki Hui still did the same, sticking out his tongue and exhaling
Yang Mitu, who was hiding in the corner, poked his head out secretly, and felt itchy when he saw Aoki Hui's cute appearance!

Jing Zhaoyin: "Come here!"

A jailer leaned over and said, "My lord."

Jing Zhaoyin: "When did Mr. Aoki become like this?"

Jailer: "Mr. Aoki Zhongxiang fell asleep, and the medical officer diagnosed him many times, and there was no abnormality in his body. He has been sitting there since he woke up."

"Could it be because of the Mixiang?" Qi Yun was surprised, "The murderer's Mixiang is so powerful!! The boss! Think of a way to save the second boss!!"

"Don't worry." Lan Bo reassured, "It seems that Erdang's home is the ecstasy incense, which contains ecstasy grass! The subordinates have only seen it in medical books, and weak-willed people are easy to fall in love with this incense, especially the elderly. And children! Mixiang is different from Mihunxiang. Mixiang will only make people weak in limbs and unstoppable sleepiness. It will be fine after a night of sleep. Mihunxiang has the effect of controlling the soul. In a short period of time, people with middle fragrance will Obey the instructions of others, and after the effect is over, it will recover automatically, and burning incense slowly in a small amount will make people hallucinate."

"Illusion. Controlling the mind and soul" Yan Mo recalled, "Could it be that what I smelled in the bedroom of Fangfu was the fragrance of enchantment! The fragrance in Mr. Fang's house is also the same!"

Prince: "No wonder there seems to be a sign of poisoning in his pulse. It turns out that his heart and soul are unstable."

"I've been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and my subordinates have never seen this fragrance!" Qi Yun sighed, "It can control people's hearts and souls!!"

Qi Ming: "Maybe a defensive incense?"

"This subordinate is fortunate to have seen the formula of Mihunxiang in a medical book, and I will try my best!" Lan Bo bowed his head.

"Brother Qingmu." Yan Mo asked Lan Bo, "How long will it take him to recover?"

Lan Bo: "It depends on the physique of the second leader. Since the medical officer has diagnosed that there is no problem, the subordinates feel that it should be fine after tonight."

Yan Mo looked around the prison, looked at Qing Muhui worriedly and said: "When I catch the real culprit, I will replace you!"

Qi Yun: "Is there any clue about Qingyu's death?"

"Mr. Qi, come with me!" Yan Mo took the lead and prepared to go out.

Qi Yun: "Where are you going?"

Yan Mo: "Fang Mansion!"

A group of people looked at each other, followed Yan Mo and walked out together
After everyone left, only Yang Mitu was left in the prison hiding in the corner. Such an opportunity is in front of us, if we don't take advantage of it, when will we wait!She shouted in her heart! !
In the luxurious prison cell, the dazed Aoki Hui returned his eyes, the faint candlelight made his face sharp and angular, and his eyes were under the shadows
He turned his head to look outside the prison, his eyes were reflected in the dim light, and seeing that there was no one outside, he said to himself: "It's just a mere ecstasy, how can it be difficult for me, I can only help here. "

Yang Mitu, who was about to walk out of the corner, paused, he couldn't believe it and said, Mr. Aoki just pretended?Why is he like this?
