"Did the Seventh Princess notice anything unusual on her way back?"

Xiao Anning shook her head vigorously. She was so scared at the time that she couldn't pay attention to her surroundings.

"In this case, the people who appeared next to Miss Wang at that time had a big problem."

The Sixth Princess turned to Pei Tongxin and asked, "Mr. Pei, did you ask other people just now? Who was near Miss Wang at that time, but were they acting alone before that?"

Pei Tongxin shook his head, "I've already asked them all. Except for the people who were in the main hall and the wing before the incident, the only ones who were outside at that time were the young masters and young ladies, and they were all traveling together."

"Then only the monks in the temple are left."

The bad feeling in Ruan Mianmian's heart suddenly rose, and she realized how she could suddenly leave Baiyun Temple without warning after hiding in Baiyun Temple for many years.

"Has Master Enlightenment returned?"

Ruan Mianmian looked at the dark sky, and the worry in her heart became deeper and deeper.

Pei Tongxin shook his head.

At this moment, the yamen servant's report came from outside the door, "Sir, there are people coming from the palace, including the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion."

Pei Tongxin frowned. Although he wanted to keep these people away, with his current status, I'm afraid...

"I will go meet them and see what they want to do."

The sixth princess put on the princess's posture and looked back at Pei Tongxin before going out, "Master Pei still needs to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible."

"Princess, don't worry." Pei Tongxin's eyes were watery. Under the candlelight in the wing, the sixth princess felt a little familiar.

But she quickly gave up the idea and felt that she was a little ridiculous. How could this be possible? The two people had never met before.

As soon as the sixth princess left the wing, Pei Tongxin asked the Yamen servants to invite everyone outside the main hall.

The person who presided over the food in Baiyun Temple instead of Abbot Wu was a senior brother named Hui.

"Master Pei, what do you mean?" Liao Hui looked calm, but there was a little displeasure in his tone.

"Everyone needs to be investigated, including the monks in the temple."

"There are 36 people in Baiyun Temple. Before the incident, 30 of them were practicing in the back hall. There are still two people in the kitchen preparing the evening meal, and the remaining four are in the temple for the nobles to dispatch. These Yamen around you are asking questions Passed."

Liao Hui turned around to signal to his junior brother, and four monks of about the same height stood up.

"These four people were the people who were in the temple at that time, but the poor monk knew these four junior brothers very well. They grew up in the temple since childhood and had no contact with the nobles and had no motive whatsoever."

Pei Tongguang observed the four people carefully and saw that they were quite tall and had no calluses from martial arts training on their hands.

If he could kill someone and leave before the seventh princess found out, he must be able to write Qing Kung and have some skills in his body.

It seems that there is still no most suitable suspect. It will be too difficult to find someone or find useful clues in a short time.

"Come here! Come on to the Yingshui." Pei Tongguang signaled to his followers, followed the order and went down to prepare, and soon came back with a copper basin filled with water.

Everyone was talking about it, and they had never seen an official rely on a basin of water to handle a case.

Besides, they have never heard of Yingshui. Is it reliable?

"When we did the autopsy just now, we found a fine powder on the body of the deceased. It was used by women when tracing their eyebrows. Sometimes, some invisible powder is left on the clothes. So..."

Pei Tongguang scanned the crowd, not missing any movement.

"So as long as the murderer dips his hands into the copper basin, the water in the basin will change color."

Everyone was in an uproar. Although they had never heard of this method, but judging from the calm and composed appearance of the government officials, they thought it should be a common thing, and maybe they could really catch the murderer. Ruan Mianmian smiled, what he said about using water to catch a murderer was just psychological warfare. He wanted to find the suspect through observation while everyone was experimenting.

With Pei Tongguang's character, he probably wouldn't do such a risky thing.

Is it because she is worried that the Sixth Princess will not be able to withstand the pressure from the outside?

Ruan Mianmian walked out of the crowd, "I'll go first."

She put her hands into the copper basin without hesitation. After leaving it for a while, she took it out and showed it in front of everyone.

Pei Tongguang immediately said, "Just ask everyone to be like Princess Ying."

Ruan Mianmian turned around and glared at Pei Tongguang, "What do you mean by Princess Ying? She's not married yet, okay?"

When everyone heard this, some of them anxiously stepped forward to test it.

After all, in Jingguo today, there is only one prince who can be of great use, the King of England.

The King of England will definitely be the next crown prince, and this Miss Ruan San will be the crown prince. If the crown prince can try, they will be more noble.

Pei Tongguang glanced over and found a few people who did not dare to come forward, including one who was surrounding Miss Wang at the time.

Prince Zhaopinghou!
Moreover, Prince Zhaoping was not tall and thin, and his physical appearance was very similar to that of the murderer whom he speculated.

Pei Tongguang stared straight at Prince Zhaoping. If he really had a problem, he would definitely feel more guilty and expose his flaws.

But Prince Zhaoping didn't seem to notice anyone staring at him, but instead glanced at another person from the corner of his eye.

Ruan Mianmian frowned. This man was really related to both the Li family and the Wang family, but what was his motive? He didn't seem to have a reason.

After everyone tried it one by one, Prince Zhaoping saw that the person had already tried it in front of him, so he felt relieved and stepped forward to try.

Just when he was about to put his hand deep into the basin, he was stopped by Pei Tongxin, "Prince Zhaopinghou, who were you with when the incident happened?"

Prince Zhaoping was stunned, and the hand he put in the basin trembled, "You don't have a good brain, don't you? I've already told you, if it doesn't work, don't investigate the case, it's a waste of everyone's time."

"Oh!~ I have remembered it, please. Prince Zhao." Pei Tongguang's understanding expression made Prince Zhaoping feel something was wrong. He resisted the urge to look back at the man and put his hand in the basin. .

But something unexpected happened. In the copper basin, the fluorescent fruit really changed color.

Prince Zhaoping only felt that the crimson color in the basin was particularly dazzling, as if it had fallen from his body.

His legs were trembling, and his whole body couldn't help but sway.

Ruan Mianmian looked carefully and felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment, Prince Zhaoping was lying on the ground and began to twitch. In less than half a moment, he started foaming at the mouth.

"Pei Tongguang, be careful he bites his tongue."

Pei Tongguang understood, walked quickly to Prince Zhaoping, and tore off a piece of brocade from the hem of his clothes.

Seeing that Prince Zhaoping Hou had not entered the ankylosing stage, Ruan Mianmian signaled Pei Tongguang to stuff the brocade inside.

"Puncture the tips of your fingers and between your toes to bleed."

Ruan Mianmian reminded in a low voice that there were too many people present and it was not convenient for her to take action.

Pei Tongguang felt very surprised, but he quickly followed the instructions. When Prince Zhaoping became more stable, he had people carry him into the wing.

Pei Tongguang glanced at the crowd and saw that the person he had been paying attention to suddenly disappeared.
