Card Room

MR & Mrs Luke-166

Jiangzhou cell.

The girls and the boss of Tianxianglou were collectively put in jail. These girls can usually sing and dance. Every day, they have to draw exquisite makeup and put on beautiful dresses. They are held in the palm of their hands by rich children. Where have they been? crime?

As soon as they saw the cold and humid environment of the dungeon, everyone began to complain, "Why do people sleep in such a dirty place?" "That is, there is not even a bed." "Assassin has nothing to do with us, tell Master Yu, let it go It's us! "

The servants responsible for seeing them were impatient and yelled, "Shut up! If you have an assassin in Tianxiang Tower, if you are angry, all of you will be beheaded! Dare to choose between the dungeon and the dungeon. It ’s not a place for you to sing and dance-all be honest, you guys, let me in! ”

The men were burly and their voices were like Hong Zhong. The girls were frightened and pale, and they closed their mouths and did not dare to talk.

Ye Qi kept silent in the crowd.

A total of twelve people were arrested in Tianxiang Tower, four of whom were locked in three cells.

The conditions in the dungeon are really poor. There was no bed, there was a mess of hay on the ground, there was a rat cry in the corner, a fat rat passed by, causing a few girls to panic and scream, and some people took off their shoes and beat the rat, and the cell was chaotic.

Ye Qi sat in the corner, thinking seriously about what happened.

He had received s-rated evaluations in Hongtao 2, Hongtao 3, and Hongtao 4. In the following 567, he solved the case with Yu team and Professor Xiao, and learned a lot of reasoning. He is sure that this case in the back room It wouldn't be as simple as being assassinated.

At that time, the assassin ran away. Wang Ye caught all the people in Tianxianglou in anger. What happened after that? Who will be the first dead? I was thinking about it, and suddenly I saw a servant coming over and saying, "Who is Ye Ye?"

Ye Qi stood up. "I am."

The servant Yi smiled and said, "A son Shao came to see you."

When the surrounding girls heard this, Ye Qi's eyes were full of envy and envy. Everyone knows that Shao Gongzi recently spent money on raising a girl with a wallet. I did not expect Shao Gongzi to be so kind and righteous, and she was willing to come and see her when she was in prison!

When Ye Qi heard these words, his eyes brightened, and he immediately followed the battle.

Outside the door, Shao Qingge was long and sturdy, holding a folding fan in his hand, and posing like a sister-in-law. His face was still smiling. Seeing Ye Qi come out, he took a silver plug from his wallet "There is labor."

The military officer happily accepted the money and said, "The two talk slowly! You will talk casually before the adult returns, and I will keep the door for you."

Ye Qi "…………"

Shao Qingge did such a good job of spending money to buy through military service.

Shao Qingge smiled slightly and brought a food container on the table. "You haven't eaten yet? Eat some snacks first."

Ye Qi did not have dinner in order to prepare for the performance in the palace. He originally planned to go back to Tianxiang Tower for supper after the performance. However, the supper was not eaten, but he was caught in jail. The box, immediately opened the lid, and ate it gorgingly.

He had experienced the hardships of eating leaves in the nightmare room, so he cherished the food. When eating pastries, he would not leave any scraps. He held small pieces of snacks in his hands and ate them cleanly. That action was like a hungry little squirrel.

He was sitting in the haystack in the cell for a while, and his hair was stained with grass.

Looking at his hungry and embarrassing appearance, Shao Qingge felt inexplicable, could not help reaching out, and gently took down the weeds on his head, jokingly, "The first time I went to jail? The conditions here Is it bad? "

Ye Qi looked up dejectedly. "Are you still in the mood for a joke? Change your dress and dress as a dress every day, get caught and try in jail?"

Shao Qinggerou said, "It sounds aggrieved? Or should I let Master Yu let you out?"

Ye Qi calmed down quickly. "Sure it won't work, we can't let it go until the case is clear. It doesn't matter, because it is the plot, I was arranged in Tianxiang Tower, it must be that Tianxiang Tower has a clue for me to collect."

He was full, wiped his hands, and watched Shao Qingge said, "After we left, did something happen to the palace?"

Shao Qingge nodded. "Miss is dead and hanged herself."

Ye Qi froze and immediately said, "Surely not suicide!"

Shao Qingge said, "The two Yu Xiaos are still investigating the clues there, and they deliberately told me to come and see you. In fact, everyone is very concerned about you."

Ye Qi's heart warmed a little, and said, "I'm fine, just sit in jail for a few days. I don't know much about Tianxiang Tower. I thought about it carefully, that assassin should have been mixed with performing swords. It ’s in the dance team. "

Shao Qingge asked with interest, "How do you know that she didn't kill one of the dancers and imposter?"

"Impossible." Ye Qi shook his head and said, "I have been dancing with them for the past few days. This set of sword dance moves are very complicated. If they are temporarily replaced, they cannot perform so completely. You did the dance in Wangfu just now. I saw that the synchronicity of the five people is very high. Each movement is neat and uniform, and the rhythm of the rhythm is also very accurate. This cannot be achieved by temporary replacement. "

"Well, that's right." Shao Qingge carefully recalled the dance just before. The five did cooperate in a tacit manner. The movements were very skilled and the effect of the dance was amazing. Obviously, they practiced together for a long time.

"They always covered their faces when rehearsing. In order to distinguish each one, I purposely remembered their eyes and eyebrows. They were also worthy of the five people performing today. Therefore, the assassin must have been premeditated and always thought The identity of Wu Ji was mixed in the Tianxiang Tower, and this time during the performance of Wang Ye ’s birthday banquet, he was assassinated in the dance team.

"..." This guy's serious analysis looked cute, Shao Qingge smiled and said, "Are there any other clues?"

"I checked the remaining four girls just now. The assassin who ran away was named Xue Yan. According to Aunt Qing, she stayed in Tianxiang Tower for one year. It seems that she had been planning the assassination of Wang Ye for a long time. Is it the same people who assassin Master Yu? "

"Okay, write it down. I will tell you all to you, Master Yu." Shao Qingge wrote down all the clues of Ye Qi.

In order to avoid leaving people too long to be suspicious, Shao Qingge asked Ye Qi to go back to rest first.

Ye Yun took Ye Qi to a separate cell, which was much cleaner than the other people's place, and was covered with brand-new bedding. Ye Qi stared "Where is this bedding ..."

Wu Yi smiled and said, "This is what Shao Gongzi asked us to prepare for the girl. Shao Gongzi is really fragrant and jealous. She is worried about Ye Ye suffering in jail, and she sent Xiaoxiong a new bedding."

Ye Qi went into the cell with a warm heart.

Although Shao Qingge's mouth was a bit broken, his heart was still very good.

All kinds of evil money also worked in ancient times.

Ye Qi lamented in his heart that being rich is good, and being in jail is different from others!

At the same time, Zhenjiang Wangfu.

After reviewing all the people in the palace, Xiao Lou compiled the transcript and followed Yu Hanjiang to collect clues to the deceased's residence.

They found a lot of copied scriptures in the young lady's boudoir, and some waste paper in the basket. They were scraps written by the young lady when she wrote to the nine princesses. Obviously, when writing a letter, she was very contradictory, and did not think about the content of the letter, but wrote and changed.

The handwriting on the manuscript is the same as the handwriting given to Yu Hanjiang by the nine princesses. The content of one page of the manuscript is similar to that on the final letter, but there are a few words that have been mistakenly written. Rewritten a full version.

These evidences can at least prove that the letter that Princess Nine gave to Yu Hanjiang was indeed written by the young lady.

In addition, there is a brand new skirt in the house of the young lady, neatly put aside. This should be the new clothes that Mrs. Yun prepared for her daughter at the time, and let her change to the dinner of the royal lord, but she did not change it. Still wearing that plain white.

Unfortunately, the most important evidence was not found.

——Where did the poison that the young lady took before her death come from?

Is it snacks, meals, or tea?

In ancient times, food could not be tested in the laboratory. Generally, it was used for poison testing, and silver needles were used. Xiao Lou picked up the snacks on the table and tested the poison with silver needles, and found that there were no toxins in several servings of pastry; there was no tea in the tea.

Asked about the personal waitress who served the young lady, she said that the young lady went out at Shen Shi in the afternoon and did not let her follow. She never returned afterwards and did not eat in the room before going out.

At the time of application, it was around 16:00.

The young lady died at 18:00. No one knew what she saw and experienced after going out.

Yu Hanjiang took Xiaolou, Mo Xuemin and Long Sen to search for the residence of Miss Qi Qiwei.

Unexpectedly, those kinds of medicinal materials mentioned by Liu Qiao are still there, and the paper bags containing the medicinal materials have not even been unsealed. It seems that it wasn't Miss Four who used these herbs to formulate the poison?

The residences of Miss Two, Miss Three and the other ladies were not found.

When the search of the palace was finished, it was almost early in the morning. The entire palace was blocked, and the ladies and ladies gathered in the hall with different looks. Yu Hanjiang searched for everything and asked what he asked. If he did n’t want to continue disturbing, he would leave Wang Ye.

Lord Wang personally sent them to the door, telling him that he must solve the case as soon as possible. Yu Hanjiang promised that he would do his best.

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue stayed in the palace. Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin back to the prefecture's gate.

Shao Qingge and Liu Qiao were waiting for them there. When they saw them returning, Shao Qingge immediately stepped forward and asked, "How about? Is the murderer clue?" As a red peach residue, he used to lie in the red peach secret room to win. Based on his understanding of Yu and Xiao, the two came back so late. It is estimated that the palace was turned upside down without any clue.

However, what surprised Shao Qingge was that Yu Hanjiang's face was not confident, but with a hint of confusion, he frowned slightly, saying "there are many clues and it is very messy, and the killer cannot be locked yet."

Mo Xuemin could not help hearing this. "Isn't the murderer Lin Shaobo running away?" Liu Qiao was also curious. "Isn't Lin Shaobo and Miss Si colluding?"

I analyzed it at the palace just now. Isn't Lin Shaobo most suspicious?

Yu Hanjiang whispered, "It's not that simple. There are no missing medicines for Miss Four, and the poison is not for her. At present, there is nowhere to find the medicine for the poisonous lady, so I cannot easily draw a conclusion."

He winked at his teammates and took everyone directly to the cell to watch Ye Qi.

Ye Qi was locked in a cell alone, and the little boy was sleeping in the quilt, exposing a white ear, and the whole body became a ball, like a small alert animal.

When Xiao Lou saw the quilt he covered, he couldn't help wondering "Where's the quilt?"

Shao Qingge smiled and said, "I'm prepared, we can't let us girl sleep in this mess."

When Xiao Lou saw Ye Qi shrink into a ball, he couldn't help expressing his distress. "This time I really wronged him. The floor of the cell was wet and cold. Now it's autumn again. It's definitely uncomfortable to sleep on the ground like this."

Ye Qi woke up passively, seeing everyone when he woke up, he ran over immediately and said, "You are back, how is the case?"

Yu Hanjiang said, "The case is more complicated. There should be a connection between the two cases, but no point of contact has been found. Your testimony Shao Gongzi has told us what the assassin named Xueyan looks like. Can you draw it? ? "

Ye Qi thought for a while and said, "I haven't studied art, and I can't draw it, but I remember her eyes and eyebrows. If I let her see her again, I can definitely recognize her."

The other person was blindfolded, and it was difficult to find someone just by drawing eyebrows and eyes. It seemed that Ye Qi could only recognize people.

Yu Hanjiang said, "It's very late. You have to rest first. If you have any clues, I will let Shao Gongzi notify you. Before the case is resolved, everyone in Tianxiang Tower cannot let go. You must be wronged to stay in the dungeon first. We The case will be investigated as soon as possible. "

Ye Qi nodded, smiling brightly. "It doesn't matter, I can sleep anywhere."

Shao Qingge remembered that Xiao Lou said that the ground was wet and cold, and he said, "The quilt for you is very big. You can spread it half and cover half, so that the ground will not be cold. I will let the valet give you a brazier later. Don't get cold. "

Ye Qi joked, "Thank you, Master Jin."

Shao Qingge laughed softly and said, "You're welcome, this is what the master should do."

Shao Qingge did work and secretly stuffed the prisoner's prisoner with shattered silver. Ye Qi's cell soon brought a brazier. Compared to other girls who were starving and frozen in the hay, Girl Ye enjoyed the treatment of a “jail cell”.

Chapter 167 Chapter 17

When he came out of the cell, the guard outside was ringing the gong, and it was already over two in the morning.

Yu Hanjiang asked everyone to go back to rest, and he and Xiao Lou also returned to the room.

After returning home after a tiring day, the maid Pinger was waiting for them, and brought them two pots of hot water, and the two of them washed. Before going to bed, Xiao Lou took Liu Qiao's good topical ointment, let Yu Hanjiang take off his coat, and apply medicine to the wound on his back.

Although the toxins in the wound had been completely eliminated, the stinging and terrible scars ran across the man's healthy spine. Xiao Lou was really distressed once.

He dipped the medicine with his fingertips, gently dabbed the wound, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

The hot wound was coated with cold ointment, which was very comfortable. Besides, Xiao Lou's fingers were slender and soft. He touched his back and applied the medicine thoughtfully. Yu Hanjiang felt as if he had been smoothed.

Even though the wound still hurts, my heart is warm.

He whispered, "It doesn't hurt anymore, Mrs. Hard."

Xiao Lou's face turned red slightly. "No outsider, so don't call it that."

Yu Hanjiang was serious and honest, "In case of being heard by Pinger, it is difficult to explain."

Xiao Lou didn't care about these details with him, and he carefully changed his dressing and bandaged his wounds, and then they fell asleep together.

Yu Hanjiang realized the day before that he liked Xiao Lou and slept in the same quilt with Xiao Lou. He was uncomfortable in his heart. He still kept his "statue" and didn't dare to move.

When Xiao Lou saw him lying on his back, he immediately said, "You hurt your back, don't sleep on your back. It won't heal if you touch the wound."

Yu Hanjiang gave an obedient "um", leaned over and slept facing Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou could perceive his gaze on his face. It was very quiet at night. He was watching at such a close distance. Xiao Lou's heart beat like a drum, so he had to talk about the case to divert his attention. "You said just now that the murderer is still not sure , Don't you think Lin Shaobo is the murderer? "

Yu Hanjiang said, "If it were him, this case would be too simple. Liu Qiao witnessed Miss Ding and Lin Shaobo's date. The letter from the young lady to Princess Nine also mentioned the two's personal affair, plus Miss Four's personal kiss. It was confirmed that the two would be bumped into by the elder sister. Lin Shaobo had the motive for murder and the time for committing the crime. The clues are very clear ... you can carefully consider, but you can find many things that are not right. "

Xiao Lou listened carefully, "What's wrong?"

Yu Hanjiang whispered and analyzed, "First of all, where did Lin Shaobo come from? We searched Miss Four's house. None of the kinds of medicinal materials mentioned by Liu Qiao that would cause poisoning had been moved, proving that the poison was not for Miss Four. If Miss Four and Lin Shaobo had jointly committed the crime, and they had planned beforehand, and they had already prepared the drug in advance, it would not make any sense. If they had planned before, they would not be suspicious to meet today. "

Xiao Lou agreed and nodded. "I think so too. The source of the poison is not Miss Four or Master Lin. Therefore, the two people who seem to be the most suspicious actually don't have a crime tool in their hands. We haven't found the toxin so far. The maid said that the young lady had not eaten in the house. I suspect that the young lady was poisoned in person in the yard. "

Yu Hanjiang said, "Well, you have examined the corpse. She didn't have any traces of struggling before she died. Obviously, she did not resist when she ate toxic food. This person should be able to let her eat toxic food in person. A familiar person, otherwise she would not eat what the other party gave. "

Yu Hanjiang paused, and then said, "Also, we were assassinated when we came to Jiangzhou, and assassins appeared on Wang's birthday. I don't think this assassin organization is a disturbance of the case, but a direct relationship with the case."

Then think of the maps that were taken in the Kyoto study at that time. Why did the world set up the four countries of Qi, Chu, Yan, and Zhao? If it was just a homicide in the house, wouldn't it be better if only one Qi country was there?

Such a complicated background is definitely not just for furnishing.

Xiao Lou's eyes flashed. "Surely, the death of the young lady has nothing to do with love, but she accidentally witnessed something that should not be known in the palace, was she killed?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded "very likely."

He paused, and suddenly said, "Do you remember a detail mentioned by Qu Wanyue-Princess Nine is the youngest daughter of Emperor Huang. When Princess Nine saw Lord Eighth last night, he was called Lord Eighth Lord?"

Xiao Lou thought about it, and immediately responded, "Yes, Her Majesty is called Grandpa and Uncle Wang, and Princess Nine is called Emperor Brother, indicating that Her Majesty is the nephew of Princess Nine, and Princess Nine is the youngest daughter of the Emperor. Is the relationship not actually father and son, but grandparents? "

Yu Hanjiang also speculated from this point that things are not simple.

In the closed-room world, very often, a particularly clear clue is likely to be an interference term. And some details that are easily overlooked may actually be the real clues-the harem battle between the nine princesses and Qu Wanyue's gossip, and the issue of the generation of the nine princesses, the eighth kings and the emperors and emperors, maybe they are hinting at something .

The throne is usually passed on to his son. The first emperor put the eighth prince in the throne, why not pass it on to his grandson?

Yu Hanjiang has seen His Majesty today, the one on the dragon chair is very young, about 20 years old, and the Eighth Lord is more than 40 years old. Even if the Eighth Lord ignores politics and is not the material of the emperor, does the emperor have no other son? Yet?

The princess ranked ninth, indicating that there were seven princes and queens before the eighth lord, what about those people?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lou suddenly said, "In history, there was a coup in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's four prince Zhu Xi overthrew nephew Zhu Yunzhang's regime under the banner of" Qing Jun side ". Zhu Yuanzhang initially established his eldest son Zhu Biao as the prince. Unfortunately, The prince died early, and he asked his grandson Zhu Yunzhang to inherit the throne. His son Zhu Xi refused to accept it and launched a mutiny after Zhu Yunzhang took office. He became the emperor himself, the Yongle Emperor. "

Listening to what Xiao Lou said, Yu Hanjiang's heart suddenly opened up!

The Ming Dynasty's mutiny was quite famous in history. Zhu Yuanzhang skipped his son and established his grandson as heir. Zhu Xi changed his position and eventually took control of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunzhang's whereabouts were unknown, which became a mystery in history.

Yu Hanjiang frowned. "Zhu Yuanzhang also skipped the other princes at that time and directly set the emperor's grandson as his heir, which is a bit like the situation of Qi Guo today. His Majesty is so young today, and the city of the eight kings is very deep. Will he want to initiate a mutiny and join Zhao The country rebelled, Zhao's messenger was accidentally bumped into by the young lady while the Wangfu was plotting with him. He killed his daughter and killed him? "

If this speculation is true, many clues can be connected.

Zhao Guo is here today, and Miss Er said that it was Prince Zhao Guo's congratulations to his future father-in-law, and he sent someone from the ceremony department to exchange some details of the wedding. Long Sen said that the envoy of Zhao Guo entered the palace, but left without attending the dinner.

If the envoy Zhao Guo enters the palace in the afternoon and plots something with the grandfather, he will be bumped into by the young lady who is going for a walk. It is also possible that the grandfather killed his daughter and killed him.

Moreover, the attitude of the eighth prince today is indeed a bit strange. He actively asked Yu Hanjiang to investigate and cooperated very well.

Maybe the assassins who assassinated Yu Hanjiang were sent by him, and the assassins who assassinated him were probably just acting. At that time, the assassins suddenly flew and stabbed at him. The prince was not flustered at all, and behaved too calmly ... as expected.

The nephew became the emperor. Can he really be willing?

Yu Hanjiang remembered that he had talked to His Majesty at that time. He only cared about His Majesty's daily life. He didn't ask anything about the court. It seemed that he was a lazy Majestic who didn't ask about politics ... But what if he was keeping a low profile?

When Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, they both felt that the possibility of the eight kings' rebellion against the woman was much higher than that of Lin Shaobo and Qi Yiwei who revealed the murder of their elder sister in private.

The next day, Yu Hanjiang woke up to Yamen. He had ordered last night to arrest suspect Lin Shaobo in the city. However, after one night, there was still no news about Lin Shaobo.

He went to the Lin family to investigate. Father Lin said that yesterday's birthday banquet was supposed to go in person. As a result, the Lin family just couldn't leave, so Lin Shaobo was asked to congratulate him.

Father Lin wondered, "My son hasn't returned all night. I sent someone to the palace early in the morning to find him. The palace said he had left long ago. Now you come to your door and ask me where he is. I don't know where he went. Where is this going? "

At this moment, Mrs. Lin suddenly came over in a hurry, and whispered in his ear, "I go out today and listen to the neighbors in the neighborhood, last night, the young lady of the palace hanged herself!"

Father Lin's eyes widened "What?"

All the guests present at the time of Qi Yiyao's suicide heard the news. The news spread very quickly, and the Lin family knew that it would happen sooner or later. It is just that the rumors outside are "the young lady is looking for short-sightedness". At present, only a few people in Yu Hanjiang and the people in the palace know that she was "murdered".

Father Lin realized that the young lady might have been hung by her son's stimulus and banged the table angrily "Where is it ?! Don't let people find it immediately! This beast may have sneaked away to the green house again, Find it for me, and turn over the entire building in Jiangzhou City to find him! "

Mrs. Lin retreated tremblingly, and the Lin family made a chicken jump early in the morning.

After Yu Hanjiang came out of Lin Fu, his brows became more and more frowning.

He also doubted whether Lin Shaobo was hiding in a certain green building, so last night I asked the soldiers of the prefecture of Jiangzhou to search the green building. In addition to the Tianxiang building, what Baihua building, Feng Yaxuan and Zuixian building were searched ... ...

The entire Qingzhou green building was turned over by the officials, and there was still no trace of Lin Shaobo.

He is a rich child, and he will not perform lightly. Even if he escapes from the backyard of the palace, he cannot disappear without a trace.

The unpleasant premonition in his heart grew stronger. Yu Hanjiang called Shang Xiaolou and strode to the gate of Wangfu.

The goalkeeper Long Sen saw them and let go.

Other nursing homes saw Mr. Yu bring his wife to handle the case, and was not surprised. Anyway, everyone saw the situation where Mr. Yu and his wife joined forces to handle the case last night-the wife who will have an autopsy is not easy.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou walked into the palace, and the eighth prince greeted him immediately.

So many things happened at the banquet yesterday, and the prince who always behaved Zoran looked a little bit shy, and asked hoarsely, "Master Yu, can you give us any clues about the case of Yi Yao being killed?"

Yu Hanjiang said lightly, "The death of the young lady is most suspicious of her fiance Lin Shaobo, but Weichen almost turned the whole Jiangzhou City over and did not find Lin Shaobo's shadow. Weichen has a bold Guess-Lin Shaobo is still in the palace. "

Wang Ye couldn't believe "Wangfu? King Wang let the guards search the entire Wangfu last night, but he didn't see Master Lin."

Yu Hanjiang thought carefully about the distribution map of the palace. It is impossible to hide people in the front yard, but in the back yard. Rocks, woods, and lakes are hidden at night, especially the lotus pond near the rock. The area is almost comparable. On football field size.

Yu Hanjiang suddenly said, "Go to the pond!"

Wang Ye slightly surprised, and quickly followed the footsteps of Master Yu.

As soon as everyone came to the pond, they screamed "Ah-!" Not far away.

Yu Hanjiang walked quickly, and saw the two maids looking pale, tremblingly pointing at the floating objects in the pool not far away, saying "a person floats in the pool and the pond!" "Okay, it looks like a corpse!"

Wang Ye's face changed, "Fuck it up!"

Several nursing homes immediately went to salvage. After a while, they scrambled to retrieve a corpse and placed it on the shore.

After soaking in the pond for a night, the corpse had been swollen, the facial features were distorted, the skin was dehydrated and wrinkled, and everyone around him turned to vomit.

Xiao Lou looked calm, walked to the corpse and squatted down to take a closer look.

The body was an adult man, wearing a dark blue dress, with a blue headband tied to his messy hair, and an emerald ring on his fingers ...

Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath and whispered, "It's Lin Shaobo."
