Chapter 149 The Peach Blossom Banquet Murder Case (5)

"It is indeed very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime." Tan Feng gave a thumbs up: "Brother Guan is really smart!"

"That's right, I have been a genius since I was a child." Guan Li tilted his head proudly.

He Lianhu felt a chill, spat in disgust, and the two quarreled unpleasantly again.

All the way to the dinner table, Tan Feng didn't care about it, let them quarrel, and enjoyed their lunch.

When leaving Lianhe Manor, he walked to Gao Shushen's carriage and said a few words of comfort. Gao Shushen was very moved and said thank you with red eyes.

The carriages of each family were escorted by extra manpower, not arranged by the housekeeper, but people from the government. They were called escorts, but they were actually surveillance.

Someone died suddenly in the manor, and everyone present couldn't get rid of their ties, but because of the identities of the princes and ladies of each family, and involving many ministers in the court, Lu Jingya couldn't directly hold him for interrogation, so he had to send someone to watch all the way, waiting for an opportunity Observe for abnormalities.

-

Hearing that a minister in the court was killed, the emperor was furious, and handed over the case to the prince for investigation, and the real culprit must be brought to justice within three days.

After handling official matters, Li Yingyu rushed to Dali Temple without stopping. Sun Qian from the Criminal Department was talking to the deceased. There was another person in the hall who was silent and was carefully reading the investigation records and autopsy reports.

The crown prince came in person, and Sun Qian and others wanted to come forward to salute, Li Yingyu raised his hand to signal silence, Sun Qian understood, and just bowed his hands.

However, the other person was indifferent to the arrival of the prince. Seeing this person, Li Yingyu was able to relax for a moment and called out cordially.

"Shi'an, when did you come?"

Hearing the sound, Zhao Wuling put down his notes, then stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, I have been here since Youshi."

"Don't be too polite."

Li Yingyu raised his hand, looking tired from all the work, and asked eagerly before sitting down: "How did Gao Wenliang die?"

Brown eyes glanced at Sun Qian who was standing aside. Sun Qian immediately understood and replied: "Your Highness, Master Gao died of an arrow wound."

"arrow?"

"Yes, the young master has the autopsy results in his hand."

After reading the autopsy report, Li Yingyu's eyes became more and more gloomy: "He died from an arrow wound, but no arrow was found in the evidence at the scene. The murderer must have hidden it. Mr. Sun, have you searched carefully?"

Sun Qian reported: "Back to Your Highness, the entire Lianhe Manor has been searched and nothing unusual was found."

Hearing this, Li Yingyu couldn't help snorting and said, "The wild geese will leave traces and send more people to continue looking for clues."

"Yes, I will arrange it now."

Sun Qian hurried over to arrange the arrangements. After Li Yingyu asked Zuo a few questions, he let him go home. The night was getting darker, the lights in the hall were brightly lit, and it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Zhao Wuling read the transcripts slowly and methodically, while Li Yingyu drank tea and meditated.

Suddenly, Li Yingyu asked aloud: "Shi'an, there is news from Rouran Royal Court. Princess Ina eloped with a slave and their whereabouts are unknown. The secret letter received by Duoduo Khan said that the two of them have encountered an accident."

Zhao Wuling said clearly: "According to what I know, there is another Princess Guhali in Rouran, since Duoduo Khan intends to marry our court, he will definitely not pin his hopes on only one of the princesses."

Li Yingyu nodded and said: "I understand, but there is another thing mentioned in Lou Yuan's letter, I have been thinking about it, but I still can't figure it out."

"Your Highness, please speak." Zhao Wuling raised his eyes and looked serious.After looking around, Li Yingyu said cautiously: "The letter said that Princess Guhali is not in Rouran."

Zhao Wuling frowned: "What?"

Seemingly satisfied with his reaction, Li Yingyu finally smiled: "I was as surprised as you when I first learned about it, but Shi An, you are so smart, why don't you guess, this Princess Guhali is now in where?"

His slender hands bent slightly, he tapped the table rhythmically, and his thin lips smiled: "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us."

"That's right!"

Li Yingyu looked happy, and then Zhao Wuling asked: "Your Highness, I wonder why Princess Guhali appeared in the capital without letting anyone know?"

Li Yingyu nodded: "Yes."

"Father said publicly that he wanted to marry Princess Rouran to me, but privately he was still watching. The sixth king hid far away unintentionally, but the three kings, the fifth king, and the seventh king were all making moves. Now Rouran However, as it becomes stronger and stronger day by day, whoever gets Princess Rouran will definitely get half of the country."

Although the royal court in Rouran is chaotic, there is only one princess now. In the future, no matter which prince inherits the position of Khan, he must make good friends with his own sister. Now, many princes of Han Yun are behind the scenes and want to cut him off. .

Zhao Wuling reassured: "Your Highness, don't worry too much, only we know the news of Princess Guhali's stay in the capital, and I will find out the whereabouts of the princess as soon as possible."

"Then I'll trouble you, Shi'an. The palace has complicated trivial matters recently, and it requires all parties to balance. It's really exhausting."

Li Yingyu rubbed the center of her eyebrows and sighed repeatedly.

Zhao Wuling nodded lightly: "It's my honor to be able to share your highness' worries. If your highness is tired, you should go back to the palace to rest earlier. Presumably the crown princess has been frightened a lot because of the murder of Lord Gao today. Your highness can be more relieved." .”

When Lu Jingya was mentioned, Li Yingyu suddenly raised his head, as if he remembered something.

"I haven't seen her today. I seem to have heard Ning Xijin mention it. After she returned to the palace, she went to the empress's place. I think the empress will definitely enlighten her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yingyu couldn't wait to change the topic and returned to the murder of Gao Wenliang.

"On the way I came here, I always had a question. Why did Gao Wenliang suddenly appear in Lianhe Manor?"

Zhao Wuling said: "I can't figure it out, but I can find clues from his corpse."

Li Yingyu said in surprise, "Shi'an, what did you find?"

After laying out the records of the on-site investigation and the results of the autopsy one by one, Zhao Wuling said lightly, "This is not an ordinary murder case. Most of the murder cases we see usually have tragic and horrifying scenes, because the purpose of the murderer is to let the deceased die. However, the murderer who killed Mr. Gao did it in a different way, not only did not humiliate the corpse, but decorated the scene very beautifully, this is not a cover-up, it is more like showing off."

Li Yingyu frowned and snorted: "Showing off?"

Zhao Wuling nodded: "That's right, Your Highness can think about it, who would pick off the best peach branches after a murder and send them to the dead?"

Peach blossoms represent the captives of love.

Zhao Wuling explained slowly: "Your Highness, have you ever heard a poem, 'It's the end of youth, peach blossoms fall like red rain', peach blossoms have always been a thing to express the love of men and women, but when they are in full bloom, they will face withering at the same time The invasion of the peach blossoms means the passing of good things."

Li Yingyu thought for a moment, seemed to think of something, and shook her head in disbelief.

"According to what I know, although Gao Wenliang is a dignified man, he always loves the new and dislikes the old to make people hate him, but he only plays with weak girls who are powerless. I have never heard of anyone who can shoot archery."
