She reached out and touched Huo Jin on one side, then stretched out her hand to tug at the corner of his clothes.

Jiang Chiyu didn't want them to continue arguing, which would have no effect on the case at all, but Nangong Yuli was a person with no eyesight.

"I'm afraid that someone will deliberately use this case to attack the emperor's uncle."

"..."

"The matter has not yet been resolved, but some people have already spread rumors about the emperor's uncle. If the case is not solved quickly this time, I am afraid it will hurt the emperor's uncle."

Nangong Yuli didn't know why, but this time he straightened his back and dared to speak like this to Huo Jin.

"Oh? What do you mean, Your Majesty? You dislike me for being too inefficient. It's better to leave it to the government office to avoid saying that I am deliberately targeting the Ninth Prince."

Huo Jin smiled knowingly. He wanted to be involved in this kind of thing, so it would be best if he could get rid of it.

Jiang Chiyu tugged at his sleeve again and shook her head. She would be able to solve this case soon. She wanted to get the secret recipe for making rouge in ancient times.

"good."

Huo Jin touched her hand tenderly and changed his attitude towards others. Looking at Nangong Yuli on the side, his jaw almost dropped in surprise.

He did not expect that Huo Jin, who had always been arrogant, would dote on such a woman to this extent. Looking back on the diary written by Jiang Chiyu during this period, Nangong Yuli became suspicious.

"Is your Majesty sure you don't want to change people?" Huo Jin urged. As soon as he agreed, he took Jiang Chiyu and left.

Nangong Yuli froze on the spot, hesitating whether to replace Huo Jin.

But I heard the Ninth Prince say loudly: "No need, the Governor will take care of it himself, so that I can rest assured. I hope that the Governor will clear my name as soon as possible."

"Uncle Huang." Nangong Yuli leaned over and said worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to do evil to you? Do you know what the outside world is saying about you now?"

"I, the king, behave upright and sit upright, so there is no need to be afraid of these. Besides, the power of the governor is far above everyone else."

The Ninth Prince walked up to Huo Jin and praised him again. He said that Jiang Chiyu was ashamed of himself. The art of speaking was so high.

"Since there is no objection, let's get out of the way." Huo Jin walked up to the corpse.

Jiang Chiyu followed him closely, and not long after he walked over: "Actually, I already know who the murderer is."

"?"

Huo Jin was stunned for a moment and looked at her with surprise in his eyes.

"I smelled rouge on you that night, and today I smell rouge on the Ninth Prince and the deceased. They must have been in contact with each other and met before the incident."

Jiang Chiyu said that the smell lingered on his body and would not go away for a long time. Huo Jincai had just met the Ninth Prince once and stayed for a while, and the smell started to linger on his body.

What's more, the people who were in contact with the deceased. Anyone with this smell on their body is a key target of suspicion.

"People from the Qiu family have brought her." Jiang Yuan came over and knew that the lady was looking for the formula of rouge. He couldn't ask anything, so he simply tied him up.

Jiang Chiyu looked at the people kneeling in front of him. They were the woman's mother-in-law and her second son, the two remaining members of the Qiu family.

The mother-in-law came to make a scene before, and she had the courage to point at the Ninth Prince's nose and curse, but now, she was trembling with fear.

"Can't you get the formula?" Jiang Chiyu leaned over, "You don't even know which rouge your daughter-in-law uses?"

"There is too much rouge at home, I...we..."

The second son on one side was even more frightened and his body was shaking. He didn't even have the strength to explain the last two sentences. Jiang Chiyu kept staring at him.

She coughed twice loudly, which frightened the second son into kowtowing repeatedly. The old lady on the side quickly pulled him hard.

"My son has never seen the world. His eldest brother has always been in charge of the shop. That's why he is like this. I hope you will forgive me."

The old lady was calm, and she adjusted herself immediately. She was a little scared before, but now she is completely calm in her eyes.

She continued talking.

"I don't know what kind of rouge my daughter-in-law used, but it doesn't smell like something from a shop." The old lady sighed, "Maybe she researched it herself, we don't know."

"is it?"

Jiang Chiyu leaned over and smelled the strong smell of rouge on her second son's body.

It almost catches up with the smell of the dead.

"You really don't know?" Jiang Chiyu raised his lips, "If that's the case, then I can't make things difficult for you anymore."

"A civilian woman really doesn't know. If she knew it, she would definitely tell Madam everything." As the old lady spoke, she suddenly kowtowed to Jiang Chiyu.

Huo Jin, who was looking at him from one side, was dumbfounded. There were blood marks on his forehead. The old lady was very excited.

"Please Madam, please make the decision for us. My eldest son has just been laid to rest, and my wife here has been tortured and killed again."

"Ahem." Jiang Chiyu stood up without any interest, "Let the Governor make the decision in everything. What are you afraid of?"

The old lady kept crying and praising Huo Jin. In short, she talked a lot.

Jiang Chiyu looked at the young man arriving with a dusty work life, his expression suddenly changed, and he walked to Jiang Chiyu's side.

"Madam, your idea is really brilliant." Xiao Zuo gave a thumbs up and handed the booklet over, "It's not death from illness, it's from chronic poison."

"Heh." Jiang Chiyu raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "Do you know why?"

"It's amazing."

Xiao Wuzuo praised him repeatedly, but he couldn't figure out how Jiang Chiyu knew it. In short, the case was now developing in another direction.

"I found residual poison in the nails of the deceased, and there was quite a lot of it. Her nails had turned a lot darker due to the poison, which shows that she had been exposed to the poison for many years."

Jiang Chiyu only explained a few words, and she imagined a house fight, thinking that things couldn't be that strange.

Then he asked Xiao Zuo to check the eldest son's body, and sure enough, he found clues on the eldest son's body.

"Look at the deceased again." Jiang Chiyu pointed to the body on the ground, "New injuries plus old injuries cannot appear overnight. I suspect she was beaten by her deceased husband."

"Madam, there is no evidence now."

Xiao Wuzuo reminded that even if the corpse could talk, it would not have any direction.

The body was found in the Ninth Prince's house, and all accusations were pointed at Nangong Mo.

Jiang Chiyu stood there and touched her chin. She knew who the murderer was from, but there were still some details missing.

"Have you given the case file to the Governor?"

"Yes."

"Then it's nothing." Jiang Chiyu reminded Xiao Zuo that he could leave. If he stayed here, he would have to listen to their argument again.

Jiang Chiyu went to Jiang Yuan again. The government office was following up on the case, but all the evidence had to go through Jiang Yuan's hands.

When he saw his wife coming over, his expression changed slightly, unnaturally.

"Master said, Madam is not allowed to get involved in such trivial matters, otherwise we will be punished!"
