Everything seemed to be there, but it was faintly discernible.

Liu Wei lowered her head and thought, but on the other side, Rong Ling had already arrived at the restaurant.

Since it was an official store, the public had to be curious about it. They blocked the entrance to the first floor and peeped inside.

"If I were you, then cut the crap." Seeing Rong Ling frown, the yamen runner immediately scolded him.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper didn't dare to beg for mercy and immediately shut his mouth. However, his heart was still filled with grievance and pity.

Before he reached the second floor, he smelt a faint scent of blood.

Rong Ling was a martial general and was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.

The second floor was also sealed. Seven or eight bailiffs were stationed at the corridor, ensuring that the scene was absolutely complete.

From the incident until now, the second floor was surrounded by people from the government and no one was allowed to set foot inside.

The yamen runners on the second floor saw that they had arrived at the summit, and naturally made way for them. They curiously looked at Rong Ling and Qin Zhong, both of them wearing plain clothes, and could not tell what their identities were, but to be able to have their leader personally accompany them, it was likely that their statuses were not low.

Could it be that they were sent out from the palace?

Since he had nothing to do, someone took the initiative to step forward and open the door to the crime scene.

head of the yamen runners who was accompanying Rong Ling asked: "From last night to today, have you seen anyone return?"

The bailiff shook his head, "Sir, from last night to today, we have not left even half a step. Other than the commoners watching the show from the staircase looking at each other, there are no other suspicious figures."

head of the yamen runners nodded and looked towards Rong Ling. She purposely asked this sentence to let the two imperial guards hear it, to show how strict their Jing zhao Yin Yamen was.

According to what the Master Lin said, if there's anything that can be done, then we should try to get it done. If the matter happens in our jurisdiction and we can't be punished, then that would depend on their attitude afterwards.

If the higher-ups came to investigate, they would seem as if they didn't care about the responsibility and were anxious to get rid of it. Instead, they would make the higher-ups unhappy, fearing that their lives would be taken.

However, if they came to investigate and cooperated with him, it could be considered as them doing their duty well. Even if they were to blame, they would not die.

head of the yamen runners was also exhausted mentally. She originally thought that the previous time with Princess Yuping, they were already in a terrible situation. She never thought that there would actually be something more serious.

The Infanta Yuehai was different from the Princess Yuping that died outside the palace. The people in the capital city, who didn't know that this unruly and unruly princess was deeply favored and doted upon by the Emperor?

Because of his status as an orphan of King Hui, he received more humiliation than most princesses in the palace. He could be said to be in the limelight, he could be said to be in the rain and the wind. Now that something had happened to him, it was as if his Imperial Majesty's life was in danger.

Even more so, in order to investigate this case, the Emperor had ordered the city to be sealed.

This was such an important order. After looking around the ancient era and experiencing several generations of changes in the dynasty, other than the former dynasty destroying the nation and the former dynasty sealing themselves off, when had the city gates of the capital ever been closed?

In fact, the Emperor even ordered the city gates to be kept closed until the case was cleared.

Even the queen mother was stopped in the middle of the city. What kind of heavenly might was this?

When he thought about how Jing zhao Yin would be implicated this time, head of the yamen runners's teeth started to ache.

Just now, the shopkeeper said that he was old and small, but who wasn't?

If the entire capital city yamen would be buried along with the Infanta Yuehai, then what would happen to their wives and families?

The more he thought, the more tired he became. Rong Ling had already entered the room with an uncertain expression.

Just as Lin Sheng had said, there were four corpses in the room, three maids and one young miss.

And that young miss's disguise, Rong Ling could recognize it with a glance, he was indeed Infanta Yuehai.

Rong Ling could not help but think of the Yuehai who had just entered the palace. At that time, he was still an innocent girl, and the Yuehai who had just passed away and was not familiar with the affairs of the world, was sent to this place in the imperial city. She was clueless of the dangers of the world and did not know how to scheme and only knew how to wash her face with tears.

It was just that after three years of study and three days of bad study, with the indulgence of the empress, a noble woman who had been raised by Princess Hui Wangfei for almost ten years had finally gone astray.

But no matter how bad the Yuehai was, or whether or not she died, even if the Yuehai provoked Liu Wei time and time again, Rong Ling still would not truly punish him.

At this moment, no matter how unhappy or how annoyed he was, he was unable to resist the cold corpse.

Walking forward, Rong Ling reached out a hand and gently closed her eyes.

Even the Yuehai did not expect that her death would end in such a way.

"Milord." Qin Zhong called out.

Rong Ling nodded, her gaze sweeping the room, looking for suspicious areas.

There was a complete set of food on the table. The rice was still untouched, but there were a few dishes scattered around. The table was divided into four directions, with no differences on the left and right.

This meant that Yuehai had shared a table with others before.

According to Lin Sheng, the was the only one in the room, only when the restaurant was close to closing did the three palace maids enter. Since the dignified princess was unable to drink at the same table as the palace maid, then the person sitting beside her must be the murderer.

Since they were able to invite the murderer to sit with them, it meant that they were familiar with each other.

The Yuehai had a loose personality and was extremely mischievous, but very few people knew him from outside the palace. Because the Yuehai originally looked down on the commoners outside the palace, she only regarded herself as someone with a powerful body, and was unwilling to be along with others.

In that case, since he was able to allow the other party to drink with him, then the murderer must be someone of high status as well?

Rong Ling reasoned.

Then, he looked around the other parts of the house, but did not see any weapons.

Looking down at the Yuehai's body and abdomen, there were obvious knife wounds. The width was narrow, and should have been caused by it, but the fatal wounds of the other three palace maids were of different positions. Some were on the neck, some were on the abdomen, and some were even on the back.
