The wife of the power minister's family

The scroll Xu Jing was looking at on the carriage was the details of the previous cases that Jin Wuwei had brought along with the Lord's personal letter. Princess Ling's case had only happened a few days ago, so no detailed information had been reached to her yet. superior.

Therefore, what Governor Zhang said was exactly what Xu Jing wanted. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'd like to bother Governor Zhang."

Governor Zhang immediately made an invitation gesture and asked one of the officials he brought to lead the way. As he walked, he said: "Prince Ling and his concubine arrived in Xinzhou two days ago, that is, in the evening of April 1st. Yes, they were staying in the best inn around here - the Full Moon Building."

Xu Jing's eyes flashed slightly and she said, "They stayed in the best inns all the way here?"

Zhang Jishi was slightly stunned. Although he didn't understand why Xu Jing suddenly asked this question, he still said: "That's natural. That's King Ling after all. No matter... what happened, he is still a member of the royal family. General Han and the others are not the same." Those who dare to neglect, unless conditions do not allow it, we will find the best local inn to let them stay."

General Han Yi was the general sent by the Holy Emperor to take Prince Ling's mother and son back to Xijing.

Governor Zhang continued: "Because several of King Ling's servants had died mysteriously before, General Han did not dare to neglect at all. He sent someone to notify me the night before arriving in Xinzhou and asked me to take care of the Man Yue Building. On the same day, strict guards were placed inside and outside the Full Moon Building.

But who would have expected that something would happen under such circumstances..."

Xu Jing's eyes darkened slightly.

This point is completely different from the previous two cases.

Because King Ling's identity is now sensitive, General Han did not want to expose their identities at first, and kept a low profile as much as possible along the way, not to mention notifying local officials in advance.

After the sudden death of the two personal maids around King Ling, they immediately strengthened the guard, but they did not cover the entire inn. They only covered the floor where King Ling, Princess Ling and Princess Ling lived. And strengthened the security around the inn.

Under such circumstances, someone in their team still died, and General Han was completely panicked. At this time, they were approaching the capital, and General Han did not care about the risk of exposing his whereabouts, so he directly used The highest level of guarding King Ling and his party.

Under such circumstances, someone still died, and it was Princess Ling who died...

Xu Jing suddenly said: "Prince Ling, Concubine Ling and Concubine Ling must be the focus of everyone's protection. To be honest, if the murderer had planned to kill Concubine Ling for a long time, but he did it last, I think Something weird."

Governor Zhang was also a smart man, and immediately understood what Xu Jing meant, and said: "Yes, when no one died at the beginning, the guards around them must have the most loopholes. Logically speaking, the murderer chose that time to kill Princess Ling. , it would be much easier, but he chose to kill Princess Ling after killing so many people. General Han and the others' vigilance had almost reached its peak. According to common sense, this should not be the case.

What do you think, Mrs. Xu? "

Governor Zhang looked to be in his thirties, with a mustache and a Sichuan eyebrow and a Chinese face. He looked very bluffing when he had a calm face.

Xu Jing seemed to have no feeling at all, and spoke to him calmly, "Unless, for the murderer, the people who died in front were the ones he was more eager to kill. After all, if Princess Ling was the one who killed her from the beginning, If he dies, General Han and the others' vigilance will be at its highest that day, and it will be even more difficult for him to kill other people.

And because the first people who died were some servants, although General Han and the others would be wary, they would not raise the guard level to the highest level from the beginning, nor would it affect their next actions. "

Governor Zhang nodded while listening, and he also had new thoughts about this lady. Although he had already heard of Lady Xu's name, because the other party was a woman, he was still a little worried, fearing that someone with a false name would come and even hinder him.

Now it seems that this lady is indeed quite capable!

Xu Jing paused, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "This also shows that no matter what the murderer's purpose is, all his actions are about to be closed. It is very likely that Princess Ling will be the last one he wants to kill. The person, or the person he wants to kill next, will only be above Princess Ling."

Princess Ling's death was a watershed. After that, no matter who he wanted to kill, it would be extremely difficult.

Governor Zhang's heart trembled slightly. Aren't the people with a higher rank than Princess Ling... Prince Ling and Princess Ling? !

No matter which one of these two people dies, he cannot afford the consequences!

As if he didn't notice the sudden darkening of Governor Zhang's face, Xu Jing continued: "However, if I guessed correctly, the murderer killed Princess Ling under heavy guard this time. No matter how beautifully he did it, it must have been... A little fox tail will be exposed.

Governor Zhang must already have suspicions in his mind. "

In the previous two cases, General Han and the others were unable to locate the suspects at all.

The two maids who died in the first case were living in the lower room on the first floor of the inn. Prince Ling, Princess Ling, and Princess Ling lived on the third floor of the inn. The third floor was the upper room. General Han’s The guards are mainly placed on the third floor, and no one will pay attention to the servants living on the first floor.

Therefore, after the two maids were found murdered, no one knew who had entered their room that night.

When the second case occurred, General Han was careful and left guards near the lower room where the servants lived.

Unexpectedly, the first deceased found this time did not die in the room, but near the place where he fetched water.

General Han was furious at that time and immediately called all the guards around him except King Ling and them, and asked them to search the entire inn. At that time, King Ling's personal servant who was alone in the room was killed, and there was also no People knew who had entered his room at that time.

However, the Princess Ling who died this time was different from these others. In this case, even if she left the room, there would definitely be guards following her.

In other words, whoever approached Princess Ling or entered Princess Ling's room that day can be known clearly by just asking the guards around Princess Ling.

Governor Zhang couldn't help but sigh secretly and nodded: "Ms. Xu is right. Princess Ling was found dead on the morning of April 2nd. On April 1st, it was already late when they arrived at the inn. After having dinner, Princess Ling went to say hello to Princess Ling and then went back to the room, and did not come out again after that.

Therefore, the murderer could only be someone who entered Princess Ling's room during that time.

During that time, there were a total of... five people who entered Princess Ling's room. "
