The Queen's Secret

The crown prince Tang Qi ascended the throne, the emperor was named Qi, and the Southern Kingdom entered the Qi Emperor for a year. There were eldest princesses Tang Yirou and Zhao Muyan to assist the government. Rou Rou, Zhao Muyan, and even Prime Minister Zhao and An Shanglang were not easy to mess with. Emperor Yuan protected Tang Qi too well before his death, and they had no chance to take advantage of them.

The enthronement ceremony lasted for three days. As soon as Tang Qi ascended the throne, there were many exhausting political affairs to be dealt with. Zhao Muyan and Tang Yirou were always by his side. Attending, but with Prime Minister Zhao and An Shanglang present, Tang Qi can be considered comfortable, and gradually he has begun to familiarize himself with the responsibilities of this position.

Only then did Tang Qi discover...

These days have been too busy, everything happened too fast, the pain of losing his father, he has no time to grieve...

Southland, imperial palace, old case room.

"This case..."

The old case room resumed normal operation, and Qi Yu picked up an old case report with three words written on it in big letters.

【Case, corpse case】

"This... I wanted to read it too, but after reading the beginning, I couldn't read it anymore."

Lin Qingxuan remembered this case. At that time, he only looked at the first page. When he saw the content of the investigation, he stopped reading. The method was too cruel.

Qi Yuxin didn't say anything, the method of this case was really cruel, people dare not look directly...

"What's the content?"

Meng Gan had never seen this case before, so he asked curiously, and Qi Yuxin handed over the old case report to Meng Gan.

"I plan to re-investigate this old case, let me talk about this case first!"

Qi Yu leaned forward, put his hands on the table, and said, "The deceased is a poor scholar named Wen Sanlang. He has been living in a dilapidated village on the outskirts of the capital and is preparing to take the imperial examination."

Qi Yu paused, glanced at Meng Gan's wrinkled facial features, and continued: "The deceased was killed and dismembered at home, some of the body parts have not yet been recovered, but the head of the deceased was found in the house, so Can confirm the identity of the deceased."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, she frowned inadvertently, thinking of that head...

"According to the previous autopsy report, the incision on the deceased's head was uneven, which was caused by repeated cutting. After testing, it was confirmed that the murder weapon was a not-so-sharp kitchen knife in the scholar's home."

Qi Yu paused, and saw that the two were still digesting, and continued: "The deceased's mouth was cut by a knife, his tongue was cut off, and he was fried in a pot..."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Gan immediately covered his chest, while Lin Qingxuan covered his head, as if he didn't want to hear any more...

Just listening to it is already so horrifying, if you go to see it in person, wouldn't it kill you?

"What is the missing body part?"

Lin Qingxuan didn't read the whole old case report, so he asked curiously, what part could not be found back.

"Two palms and... ahem, the man's lower body."

When Lin Qingxuan heard this, he frowned, pursed his lips, and finally couldn't help retching. How can this case continue...

Meng Gan took a few deep breaths, while reading the old case report, while listening to Qi Yuxin's explanation, Wu Nei seemed to be churning...

"And after the murderer dismembered the deceased, he left all the stones in the house. Is this provoking the emperor?"

Qi Yu was thinking, why the murderer was so bold, leaving all the body parts in the house, and was not afraid of the arresters to investigate, but his hands and lower body were missing.

"I feel that this murderer is a bit unreasonable..."

If he challenged the emperor's arresting gate, where did the lower body and lower body of the lost palms go?

What is so special about these two parts to the murderer?

And why cut the mouth, cut the tongue, and blow it up?

"If it's a vendetta... cut his mouth and tongue, it can be understood that the deceased said something to slander the murderer before he was alive? However, according to the investigation, the deceased was taciturn and withdrawn, not like someone who would break his mouth, and he was still polite. , I will smile when I see everyone, but I just nod and acquaintance with others."

Qi Yu couldn't figure out the motive of this murder, but if it wasn't a vendetta, why would he kill someone so cruelly and dismember him...

"Sister Yuxin, let's review the corpse first before making any further plans!"

Looking at the whole report, I didn't see any suspects, the scholar didn't have a deep relationship with the subject, he had no friends or enemies, and he had no clue at all.

"Well, Meng Gan and I will go to the autopsy bureau, and Qingxuan will take care of the house."

Qi Yuxin took Meng Gan to the coroner's office together. After explaining his purpose to the coroner on duty, the coroner took them to the place where Wen Sanlang's body was parked. However, it's okay not to look at it. Qi Yu felt uncomfortable all over...

The body parts were placed neatly, and the incisions were not stitched up for the convenience of checking the incisions. Therefore, in front of my eyes was a broken corpse...the death was terrifying.

Qi Yu took a deep breath, ignoring Meng Gan's livid face, and began to examine his body...

However, the result of the re-examination was the same as that of the previous autopsy report. After some inspection, there was nothing special at all.

"Let's go!"

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan left the coroner's office, but after leaving the coroner's office, Meng Gan vomited against the wall. Qi Yuxin felt his stomach churning unconsciously when he saw it.

After the two of them had calmed down, they returned to the old case room to arrange the direction of the next investigation.

Qi Yuxin first went to the imperial arrest gate to apply for a search warrant, and then went to the village where the scholar lived to investigate every household to see if there were any clues. This was something that could be done for the time being.

"It's not too late, Qingxuan, you and I can go outside for a while!"

Seeing that Meng Gan's face was still livid and pale, Qi Yuxin could only let him rest. After Lin Qingxuan saw the appearance of Meng Gan and Qi Yuxin, he could imagine how terrifying the real corpse was, so when Qi Yuxin After Yuxin said that the corpse had no other clues, she stopped asking.

"it is good."

In addition to the old case room, Qi Yu asked Lin Qingxuan to wait for her outside after applying for a search warrant at the Emperor's Arrest Gate, because she had something to say to Tao Mingyi.

"What's the matter?"

Tao Mingyi didn't know what Qi Yu wanted to say, so he asked.

"Master, I want to ask... Is there any news from Yuan Zhi?"

After the special winter training, she suddenly thought of Yuan Zhi. Although Qi Yu didn't like him, he was working hard for Nanguo, so she had to care.

"...everything is going well, don't worry."

Tao Mingyi didn't reveal too much. After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot be revealed at will, including his own daughter.

"Well, that's good, the subordinate will take my leave first."

"be careful."

Tao Mingyi looked at the back of Qi Yuxin leaving. During this time, Qi Yuxin seemed to have changed a lot. He had friends and was more youthful, and... seemed happier than before?

Tao Mingyi smiled gratifiedly...

Lao Qi, your daughter has grown up and has her own world, you should be relieved...

Speaking of which...Qi Dezheng's death sacrifice is coming soon, Qi Yuxin...should be spending another day with him in the capital cemetery!

Qi Yuxin and Lin Qingxuan came to the outskirts. The village where the scholar lives is very poor. There are not many neighbors. There are only three families, the Orion family of four, an elderly couple and a pork seller.

When Qi Yuxin went to Orion's house, he found that there was no one in Orion's house. When he was about to leave, he heard some noises inside and found a girl inside.

The girl is very big, bigger than herself, a little chubby, and has a fairly pretty face, but her mind seems...not normal.

"elder sister?"

The girl saw Qi Yuxin from the window, and seeing Qi Yuxin's good looks, she happily called her sister.

"Hello."

Qi Yuxin smiled softly, the girl was about to open the door when she saw it, but found that the door was locked, the girl burst into tears when she got anxious.

Qi Yu frowned, how could this Orion family leave a woman at home...

"Second baby!"

At this time, a voice came from a distance, the Orion family came back, the Orion couple and their son, their son looked quite normal, not like the girl in the house.

"This lord..."

The old Orion greeted Qi Yu first, and then asked, "I don't know why?"

"Why lock your daughter in there alone?"

Qi Yu was sullen and forgot about the case for a while, and was dissatisfied with Orion's behavior of locking his mentally ill daughter at home.

"My lord, there is nothing we can do. The second baby... You have also seen that it will only be more dangerous to take her up the mountain, so we have no choice but to let her stay at home."

Qi Yu frowned, seeing that the old Orion also looked helpless, he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't. This is someone else's business, how much can she say?

As soon as the door was opened, the girl named Erwa ran out, and ran towards Qi Yuxin. Qi Yuxin's figure flashed past the girl's lunge, and the girl fell to the ground, screaming. With a muffled grunt...

"Are you all right?"

Qi Yu's frowning brows never relaxed. She couldn't predict the second child's next move, but seeing her fall down, her hand was scratched but she was still smiling, it made people feel a little distressed.

"My lord, are you all right?"

The old Orion cared about Qi Yuxin first, and the mother and elder brother helped Erwa up. The Erwa looked at Qi Yuxin, still smiling, and seemed to like Qi Yuxin very much.

"I'm fine."

Qi Yuxin saw that Erwa's hand was scratched, and then he stuffed a can of golden sore medicine into the old Orion's hand, and said, "This is golden sore medicine, rub it on her!"

"Thank you, my lord. The second baby is like this. When she sees a good-looking person, she likes it very much, so she can't help but rush towards it..."

The old Orion's words were full of bitter tears, and he really had no idea how to cure Erwa's illness.

"It's all right."

After the two helped Erwa in, Qi Yu remembered the case.

"I wonder if you know Wen Sanlang who lived near your house before?"

Qi Yuxin pointed to the long-abandoned house in the distance, Lin Qingxuan could still be seen wandering around the house, as if searching for something...
