Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 442 The identity of the deceased

"Brother Conan, if you call again, if there is still no response, we will have to rush in!" Li Canghai said solemnly.

Conan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's the only way to go now."

After a pause, he shouted: "Princess, if you don't come out again, I will go in!"

At this moment, the door of the divine hall suddenly opened with a creak, and a charming, charming and charming woman came out from inside.

She saluted Conan gracefully, and said, "My lord, the princess is resting inside now, please don't bother me."

Conan was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "Lingji, how is the princess?"

"The princess is fine, but she is living on a deserted island. The princess is unhappy and doesn't want to see anyone. Please go back, my lord." Ling Ji said.

Conan let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "It's good that the princess is safe and sound. Ling Ji, no matter what happens, you must take good care of the princess."

Ling Ji nodded and said, "Ling Ji knows."

"In that case, then I'll take my leave first." Conan said, bowed slightly to the shrine, and left the shrine.

"Since it's not one of your companions, who is the Dongying girl?" Li Canghai frowned slightly.

Conan thought for a while and said, "Instead of guessing here, it's better to go and find out."

Li Canghai nodded and said, "Alright."

Conan ordered people to prepare torches, leaving everyone behind to protect the princess, and then carrying the torches, he followed Li Canghai and walked towards the low-lying swamp.

At the edge of the swamp, the bonfire has been burned out, only a few sparks are still flickering.

Li Canghai brought Conan to the corpse, he lit the bonfire again, pointed at the corpse and said, "Well, it's her."

Conan held the torch, squatted down, and carefully photographed the face of the corpse. His wrist suddenly flicked, and the torch fell to the ground with a bang.

Li Canghai sighed, and said: "Her death is indeed a bit terrifying. When I first saw her, I was also shocked."

"Why, how could this be..." Conan's voice was a little trembling, his face was terrified, and he muttered to himself in a daze.

Li Canghai looked up and found that Conan's face was pale, his pupils constricted, and his body was shaking constantly, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

As an official of Dongying Ministry of Criminal Affairs, it is impossible for Conan to have never seen a dead body. It would be reasonable to say that he would be a little scared when he saw it for the first time, but he would definitely not be so scared.

"Brother Conan, what's the matter with you? Do you recognize her?" Li Canghai looked down at the corpse, understood instantly, and asked hurriedly.

Conan didn't answer him, but hurriedly wiped the face of the corpse with his sleeve. After he wiped all the blood from the seven orifices of the corpse, he revealed a peerless face that was all over the world.

"Why...how did this happen?" Conan suddenly sat down on the ground after seeing the woman's face, repeating that sentence over and over again.

"Brother Conan, what's going on? Who is she?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

Conan's eyes were confused, he stared at the female corpse, gasped continuously, shook his head and said: "Impossible, impossible! Princess... isn't the princess in the hall?"

"Princess?" Li Canghai couldn't help being startled, and asked in a low voice, "You said she was a princess? Your Dongying princess?"

Conan's face was pale, and he sat on the ground in a daze, and said to himself: "Princess...how could the princess die here?"

Li Canghai's face tightened, if this female corpse is really Dongying princess, then this matter is no small matter.

Princess Dongying actually died in the territory of Datang. This is not an ordinary murder case, and it may cause a war between the two sides!

Although Dongpu is currently in civil strife, and they came here this time to seek help from the Tang Dynasty, but the princess who came to marry her died in the Tang Dynasty, which will affect both parties to some extent.

What's more, these three artifacts are still in their hands. If they refuse to cooperate with Datang because of this matter, and bring the three artifacts back to Dongpu, wouldn't it be a waste of time for me to come here?
And Di Qing, wouldn't her death also become meaningless?
Thinking of Di Qing, Li Canghai couldn't help feeling pain in his heart.

But right now, things are serious, but he can't allow him to think about other things.

He grabbed Conan's shoulder and asked seriously, "Brother Conan! What's going on? Is she really your princess?"

Conan looked at Li Canghai with difficulty, and nodded with difficulty.

"Brother Conan, if she is really a princess, then this matter is no small matter. You have to cheer up and find out what's wrong as soon as possible!" Li Canghai said seriously.

Only then did Conan come back to his senses. He looked at Li Canghai for a while, then nodded, and said, "Brother Li said, why did the princess die here? I must find out!"

Li Canghai nodded his head, and secretly praised him. He was able to cheer up so quickly after encountering such a big event. This person's mental strength is really extraordinary.

"Brother Conan, the most important thing right now is to determine whether this woman is Her Highness the Princess. Maybe this woman just looks like the Princess." Li Canghai said after thinking for a while.

Conan frowned, staring at the corpse intently, and sighed, "This is the princess."

Seeing that he was so sure, Li Canghai immediately asked with some puzzlement: "How can you be sure that this corpse is Her Royal Highness?"

Conan was silent for a moment, and said sadly: "Brother Li didn't know something. The princess was self-willed since she was a child. When she was young, she accidentally broke her wrist. After she recovered, it left a mark, which was shaped like a plum blossom, and it was on the inside of the princess' wrist. "

Hearing this, Li Canghai hurriedly raised the wrist of the female corpse to have a look, and sure enough, as he said, there was a mark in the shape of a plum blossom on the inside of the female corpse's wrist.

"So, she is really your Dongying princess?" Li Canghai asked in surprise.

Conan bit his lip and nodded vigorously. His chest kept rising and falling, and he stood up suddenly, gnashing his teeth and said: "How dare Ling Ji lie to me? It's unreasonable! I'm going to ask her to understand!"

Conan was furious. He was the minister in charge of the marriage, but his own princess died suddenly on a deserted island for no reason. How would he explain to the two royal families of Datang and Dongying?
Li Canghai was not as impulsive as he was, but said calmly: "Brother Conan, the most important thing right now is to find out the cause of the princess' death." He paused and said, "Brother Conan is good at reasoning and solving cases. You shouldn’t have said it, but you’re being impulsive right now, so it’s inevitable that you’ve been a little negligent. The first question, Ling Ji is the princess’s personal maid. Since the princess is not in the hall, why does she lie? The second question, Princess Jinzhiyuye , how could you die here?"

What Li Canghai said made Conan calm down from his impulsiveness. He closed his eyes and tried to pull himself out of his anger. Relying on his instinct of investigating the case, he found that the two points mentioned by Li Canghai could be described as hitting the nail on the head. .
