Chapter 126 The real murderer
"Your Majesty, Lord Lin and the Minister of Justice have arrived."

"Bring it up." The queen said lightly.

The two walked up to the empress, and some young eunuchs behind were still carrying a wooden board covered with a white cloth, and placed the board in the middle, Master Lin lifted the white cloth, and it was Su Youlian who had been dead for a long time.

Su Youlian's death was so tragic that the girls at several tables near her screamed in shock, and even the princes present couldn't bear to look directly at her without opening their eyes.

Master Lin clasped his hands and said: "I beg your forgiveness, I and your servant Guo You have gone to the side hall to investigate, but there are many doubts, you have to bring this girl here, so that you can find out the real culprit."

Perhaps Su Youlian who was lying on the ground was bleeding profusely, her exposed skin was bluish white, her clothes were covered with blood, two streaks of blood slid across her face, her big dull eyes stared straight at one direction, strangely extremely chilling

The queen frowned, covered the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, and said coldly: "Then please start quickly, my lord, it's not good to leave Lian'er here."

"I obey the order." Guo You stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the murderer is among the people in Yuhua Garden!"

As soon as Guo You's voice fell, the whispers in the banquet gradually disappeared, and suspicion and silence permeated the banquet. Before the situation is clear, maybe the person next to him is the murderer.

Su Youbai's hands holding the tea cup trembled, almost spilling the tea all over himself.

"What's wrong with Xiaobai, why are you panicking?" Concubine Xiao took the time to help the hairpin in her hair, why was she nervous about the murderer Su Youbai?
"Thank you, Concubine Gui, for your concern." Su Youbai pursed his lips and smiled: "This banquet is full of girls from various prefectures, how could they do such insane things, Xiaobai is terrified."

Concubine Xiao Gui snorted lightly and did not speak again.

"According to Chen and Lord Lin's investigation, Miss Su was killed by someone stabbing her neck with a sharp weapon from behind when she was undefended." Guo You paused and said: "In such a close-range killing, Miss Su must have been killed with the murderer. Acquaintance, or a close-fitting maid, so that it is convenient to get close to Miss Su."

"There are so many people in the palace, how can my lord be able to conclude that they are people at the banquet, and Gong'e can also get close." The prince frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Guo You smiled calmly, obviously already thought of this question: "I don't know if His Royal Highness has noticed that maids in the palace don't wear hairpins, and they only wear bead flowers of different colors in their hair according to the rank of the masters around them. .”

"Please look, Your Highness." Guo You pointed to the wound on Su Youlian's neck: "Miss Su was injured by a sharp weapon. Inch, smooth inside, not as regular as a knife cut, after thinking about it, only the hairpin is the most suitable."

"Today coincides with the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and those who can wear hairpins are all the empresses and girls from various prefectures here."

"According to what your lord said, don't all the people here have to have their health checked one by one?" Xiao Guifei said impatiently. She was just habitually singing against the queen, but she didn't expect to be involved in such a big matter that she couldn't even pick herself up. Cleared up.

"I don't need everyone to test it together." Guo You cupped his hands and said, "When I arrive, Miss Su is out of breath, but the wound is still bleeding, so I just need to point out the people who left the meeting within an hour. Just fine."

According to Guo You's instructions, the palace eunuchs standing around quickly identified the person, registered them in the register, and handed them over to Guo You for review.
