eye-catching

The case couldn't be solved, the prince just went out every day, Yuan Qi was sick and had been recuperating, the prince was not in a hurry, but servant Lin couldn't sit still because of his anxiety.

"My lord, what about the case?"

Lin Xie looked at the prince touching the bird he just bought from the market, and asked worriedly.

The prince just smiled and said, "What are you in a hurry for?"

"The case has not been solved, and the person has not been caught. Naturally, it is urgent."

"Don't worry." Fuyi said indifferently, "In a few days, Ji Hong will definitely come back to look for the king himself."

"what?"

Lin Xie was surprised and asked, "Could it be that Ji Hong knew he was hiding it?"

"That's not true," Fuyi said slowly while touching the bird, "I just guessed that he would come to me."

Lin Xie looked at the prince speechlessly, unable to guess what he was thinking.

Lin Xie thought this was an excuse for the prince to continue to have fun, but he did not expect that two days later, Ji Hong really wanted to see the prince.

From the gate of the Yamen mansion, he began to shout that he must see the prince. Lin Xie, who was waiting in the mansion, realized that the prince was not just talking nonsense, Ji Hong really came to him this time.

The prince was playing with the birds, when he heard Ji Hong's cry, he got up slowly, walked down the hall, sat on the sandalwood chair, looked at Ji Hong with interest, lazily Open the mouth: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My lord!"

It's really unsightly for Ji Hong to burst into tears at this age.

"It's gone! It's gone!"

He just kept repeating this sentence in his mouth, looking like he was frightened.

"What's missing?"

Fuyi looked at him amusedly and asked with a smile, which made Lin Xie anxious.

"My daughter is missing..."

As soon as Ji Hong said it, he immediately put his hands on the ground and kowtowed loudly.

Fuyi propped her head and raised her eyebrows, and said, "Why didn't you disappear?"

"My lord..."

Lin Xie called him from the side, but he didn't seem to hear, so he could only look at the kneeling Ji Hong in his free time.

Only then did Ji Hong intermittently say: "My lord, the grassroots have something to hide..."

"What are you hiding?"

Fuyi is still lazy, as if she is not interested in this matter.

Ji Hong took out a piece of paper, and the county magistrate quickly took it and gave it to the prince.

Fuyi glanced at it, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Sure enough, Qian Wushuang's death has something to do with you, right?"

Ji Hong shook his body, and hurriedly said: "No, my lord, that person wants to die by himself, and has nothing to do with the grassroots!"

Lin Xie glanced at the paper and was startled.

...I know that I have no ability to make Mingyun do this for me, and I feel deeply regretful. Since we can't be together in life, let's die together...

Obviously, this is Qian Wushuang's suicide note!

Lin Xie's eyes widened, looking at the prince's calm face, he couldn't help sighing secretly, this prince is really not to be underestimated, if he hadn't expected this, he probably wouldn't be able to say that Ji Hong would come to him!

Then Fuyi got up slowly, looked at him, and said, "Take me to have a look."

The four of them went to the tomb where Ji Hong had removed the coffin. They said they didn't want to disturb the soul of their daughter. In fact, it was because there was a corpse of Qian Wushuang in the coffin!

Lin Xie thought so, but now she didn't understand even more. If there were two corpses in the coffin, how did those gold and jade wares get out?

Since the corpse was still there before, is it not advisable to use the coffin to transport things?

Lin Xie became more and more confused, why did this case become more and more complicated?

The tomb was relatively small, only big enough to hold a coffin. The coffin boards had been opened, and there was nothing inside.

Ji Hong sighed: "I wanted to take a look today, but when I came here, I saw that the coffin was not in the right place, it moved a little, so I opened it to have a look, but I didn't expect..."

Ji Hong choked up as he spoke, Fuyi only glanced at the coffin lightly, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"This king asks you, how do you know that there must be two people in the coffin? When did you receive the suicide note?"

"Going back to the prince, it was the eleventh night of March."

"How did you get it?"

"The servant who watched the night outside saw it and gave it to me."

Lin Xie asked: "Then Qian Wushuang said that he would die with your young lady, what did he say?"

"That's right, it was written in the letter that Cao Min was already dead when he saw it."

Fuyi chuckled and said: "You are a big family, it is naturally impossible for such a scandal to spread, so I just said that I don't want to disturb the soul of my daughter, so I want to remove the coffin, right?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fuyi said again: "Then, you opened the coffin and disposed of Qian Wushuang's body?"

Ji Hong lowered his head and nodded.

Fuyi's eyes froze, and she repeated: "Are you sure, you guys opened the coffin later?"

Ji Hong was only shuddered by his voice, and then nodded.

Fuyi was silent, looking at the coffin, the smile on the corner of her mouth never faded.

Lin Xie frowned, as if she didn't understand what he said. If it was true, then his whole reasoning would be overturned.

If it is not transported in a coffin, then there is no other way to transport the gold and jade.

Fuyi walked around the coffin, stood still, and said to Ji Hong, "You'd better not lie to me. If you hinder me from solving the case, I will take you to Dali Temple."

The voice is gentle, but every word has weight.

Ji Hong clenched his hands in his sleeves, and nodded mechanically.

"Don't admit it yet?"

Fuyi sneered, and said, "You don't know yet, the inner wall of that coffin is stained with the lacquer gold of the gold utensils you buried with your daughter."

When Ji Hong heard this, he immediately raised his head, his eyes were also shocked, and he hurriedly moved towards that side.

Lin Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was indeed lying.

Fuyi put her hands behind her back and said, "Master Ji, I'm afraid this was the first time you opened this coffin yesterday."

After hearing this, Ji Hong hurriedly knelt down, knocked his head loudly, and said: "My lord,! The grassroots deserve death!"

Lin Xie was quite impatient, and asked, "What's going on?"

Fuyi winked at the county magistrate, and the policeman next to him stepped forward and arrested him.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk in prison."

The prince dropped this sentence, regardless of Ji Hong yelling behind him, Gu Zi left the tomb.

Lin Xie sneered at the side and said: "Master Ji, the prince was sent by the emperor, to lie to the prince is the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Ji Hong was in tears, but he was helpless, his face was very old.

Lin Xie came out of the tomb, followed the prince, and asked, "My lord, what's going on?"

"I guess, Qian Wushuang's body has already been disposed of."

"So, in fact, on March [-]th, the coffin is empty?"

Fuyi frowned and said, "Not only that, I suspect that it will be empty on the eighth day of March."

In the prison, Ji Hong was very quiet. When he saw the prince, he just bowed his head and said nothing.

Fuyi didn't bother to say any official words to him, so she went straight to Huanglong: "Is that letter written by Qian Wushuang himself?"

Ji Hong shook his head, it seems that he has become haggard a lot, his hair is disheveled, and he is completely disfigured. Last night, his wife came to beg to see him, but was also rejected.

"My lord, I don't know if Caomin wrote it."

Fuyi nodded and continued to ask: "So, when did you move out the corpse?"

Ji Hong pursed his lips, and now he didn't intend to hide anything anymore, he just said: "Go back to your lord, it was the night of March [-]th, Caomin hired a few people and asked them to move the corpse out at night."

"Where are those people?"

"It's a few people from Lin Family Village."

"So, what did they tell you after they moved?"

"I didn't say anything. They took the money to do things. After they finished their work, they came to me and took the money and left."

"You trust them that much?"

"The Lin Family Manor is based on integrity and will not lie."

Fuyi nodded and said, "Then, can those people still be found?"

"I can find it, I recognize it."

"That's good." Fuyi ordered, "Release him and go to Linjiazhuang."

After Ji Hong was released, he asked the county magistrate to accompany him to Linjiazhuang to identify someone, and Fuyi went back to the mansion to wait for someone to come.

Yuan Qi had already recovered, and now he stood in front of the prince and said with a smile: "My lord, where did this bird come from? I haven't seen it before."

"bought."

The prince was thinking about things and didn't plan to talk to him anymore.

Lin Xie said from the side: "My lord, since the body is gone on the eighth day of March, then that letter..."

"It should have been written by the thief." Fuyi smiled faintly, "This thief is really smart."

"According to Ben Wang's guess, this person saw Qian Wushuang's body as early as the eighth day of March, disposed of the body that day, and then wrote a letter to trick Ji Hong into removing the coffin. In this way, the coffin should belong to Ji Mingyun." As for the corpse and those things, as long as Ji Hong sends people to take them away before disposing of the corpse, those individuals don’t recognize the corpses of men and women, so they will naturally dispose of Ji Mingyun’s corpse.”

Seeing Fuyi's ruddy mouth opening and closing, Lin Xie couldn't help admiring that what he said was such an important thing.

"So, it's probably the same as what we thought?"

Fuyi glanced at him, and before he could speak, Yuan Qi spoke up and said, "My lord is extremely noble, what do you think is the same as you think! Are you as smart as my lord?"

Listening to his eagerness to protect the Lord, Lin Xie only smiled and said nothing.

Fuyi pondered for a moment, then said: "It's just that I don't know who this thief is."

Lin Xie nodded and said, "I'm afraid she had already run away with her things."

Fuyi looked out the door, frowning, with inexplicable emotions in her eyes.If he knew, he would definitely say that even if he searched the entire girder, he must find the thief.

Thinking of this, Fuyi curled the corners of her mouth, showing a nice and warm smile.
