The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 137 Things Get Complicated

Shen Qiqi was startled, she stood up and walked around the room twice before slowly digesting this matter, how long they had met with that official before he died in prison.

Could it be that the news in the letter he gave was true? If it wasn't true, how could someone come to poison him!Or he wanted to die, but when he met him, he had a strong desire to go out. He was also very happy to see her at that time, as if he was happy that he could finally get out of the prison.

How could such a person with a strong desire to survive commit suicide suddenly, so there is only one possibility, that is homicide.

"Have you found out anything inappropriate from the prison?"

A dead person cannot be brought back to life, and she cannot turn back time. The most urgent task now is to find out who killed the official.

"It hasn't been found out yet. The lower official has asked people to check the people who entered and exited today. The lower official believes that outsiders must have entered the cell and poisoned the official."

What Chen Shangshu said now was just his own speculation, but Shen Qiqi also felt that this possibility was the greatest.

If it was someone in the cell, then they should find out soon. The most important thing is to examine which government servants were on duty in the cell during the time when the official died, so that they might be able to find out some clues.

"Master Chen is right. Please keep an eye on this matter. As long as you find out something, let someone tell me."

After Shen Qiqi finished talking about this matter with Chen Shangshu, Chen Shangshu did not stay here for long, after all there was nothing else to talk about except this matter.

The thing to do now is to find out who killed the official. Who has the courage to sneak into the prison and kill this person.

Originally, Shen Qiqi was thinking about going to the prison tomorrow to ask him about some things, about the King Xian. After all, he said that he is a relative of the King Xian, and the King Xian will give him the letter, so he should be somewhat close to him, right? !

"Your Highness, are you okay!"

Yue Ling was confused and didn't understand what Chen Shangshu was talking about, but she didn't really want to understand, she just saw His Highness frowning and asked quickly.

"It's okay, go to sleep! No one should come today."

The big thing collapsed and there was a tall one standing on top of it, after she comforted herself, Shen Qiqi quickly fell asleep.

On the contrary, Chen Shangshu, who returned to the house, stayed in the study until late at night. He had too many things in his mind, and he couldn't sleep. Now he was looking forward to new clues about the things in the cell.

On the second day, early in the morning, Chen Shangshu interrogated all the government servants in the cell. These government servants who watched the prisoner also went through it in their minds yesterday. After all, they did not want to bear the responsibility of killing the officials.

"Didn't any of you remember that something was wrong, or that someone had been away for too long and something was wrong when they came back."

Chen Shangshu questioned them patiently and carefully, and asked them one by one.

The undersides of the yamen servants' eyes were all black and blue. It was obvious that they didn't sleep well last night, so after hearing Chen Shangshu's question, they naturally thought hard.

"My lord, the villain has something to report. It seems that Mr. Chen left his post for a while yesterday."

Naturally, at this time, he would not want to hide it for others. After thinking hard for a while, someone finally spoke about it.

"Who is Chen's second child?"

Chen Shang asked these yamen servants with a serious expression.

"Responding to the adults, the villain is Chen Lao Er. The villain did leave his post yesterday, and stayed in the latrine for a long time because he ate his stomach badly."

When Mr. Chen heard that they mentioned that he had left his post, he was so frightened that white sweat broke out on his back, and a bitter taste rose from his mouth.

If he knew that a murder would happen in the cell, no matter how much he wanted to go to the toilet, he would not leave, even if he was pulled in his crotch, it didn't matter.

"How long have you been in the toilet?"

Now that there was a breakthrough, Chen Shangshu naturally concentrated on asking him about things.

"Back to the adults, the villain stayed in the latrine for almost a stick of incense, because the stomach hurts so much, the villain has never been out of the toilet door, and when they came back, they even laughed at the villain. Into the latrine."

Chen Lao Er explained in detail what happened yesterday. He did leave his post that day, but he really didn't do anything special. He just sat in a hole, but it was too long.

"My lord, Mr. Chen lied. He didn't have time to stay for a stick of incense. The villain remembered that after he went to the toilet, he came back to be on duty with the villain soon." The person who said this was also very sure. Until Chen Lao Er passed by in front of him.

"That's not right. When the villain went to the toilet, I saw Mr. Chen squatting in the toilet at that time!"

Someone also gave proof that Chen Lao Er had not returned, and he was sure that what he saw was Chen Lao Er.

After Chen Shangshu heard what they said, he gradually had an idea in his head. It seems that the people who came in had staggered the time, and they also took advantage of the time when these people changed shifts, making them think that Chen Laoer was on the post, but in fact they were on guard together. Chen's second child has been replaced.

"Why do you think that person is Chen Laoer?"

"Responding to my lord, that man has a full beard and the same accent as Chen Laoer."

Take a closer look at Chen Laoer, he has a beard all over his face. Because of his too many beards, he can only see his eyes. If he doesn't look carefully, he might just need to put on an official uniform, a yacha hat, and a little dressing up. Pretend to be this second brother Chen.

"You guarded at the same time as Chen Lao Er, but you felt that there was something wrong with Chen Lao Er at that time."

The person who said that there was something wrong with Chen's second son just now thought about it carefully, and then suddenly let out a sigh.

"My lord, when I was on duty with Mr. Chen, I always felt that there was a body odor coming from his body, and I even asked about it."

Chen Lao Er immediately complained, he didn't have body odor at all on weekdays, he just stayed in the toilet for a long time that day, so it just smelled a little bad.

"My lord, you are really not a villain!"

Chen Laoer knelt on the ground, he was also afraid of his own beard, if he could escape this disaster today, he would definitely shave off all these beards.

From now on, no one will pretend to be him to kill people because of his blurred appearance. If the murderer can't be found this time, will the blame be left to him.

"Okay, don't kneel here, aren't you on duty with Chen Laoer? You have an impression of that man."

It was found out that someone pretended to be a person and entered the cell. Chen Shangshu was also a little upset when he heard it. This person must have come out of the cloud after killing someone.

Could he still stay in the cloud and wait for someone to catch him, but even so, he had to draw a picture of this person.
