The Queen's Secret

Qi Yuxin asked Lin Qingxuan to rest after dinner, while she stayed in the old case room and continued to look through the investigation records. She read everyone's testimony several times. She didn't know what time it was. Falling asleep on the desk...

When she woke up the next day, Qi Yuxin's neck felt a little sore due to her sleeping position. When she sat up straight, she found that she was sleeping in the old case room. When she woke up, it was still dark...

She looked at the investigation records on the table, sighed, went to wash up, then went back to the old case room to sort out all the records, and then wrote down the incident bit by bit.

Before General Zhenbei came back, it was his deputy Ling Xian who came back first to take care of everything.After General Zhenbei returned home from the palace, because he drank some wine, he needed to cook some warm food to nourish his stomach. General Zhenbei fell asleep shortly after eating.Later, Ling Xian, who temporarily lived in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, said that he was also a little hungry, so he cooked for himself and made some food. After eating, he went back to his room and slept. The people in the mansion lived their own lives. See It doesn't look suspicious either.

Qi Yu was thinking, if General Zhenbei disappeared or died, who would be the biggest beneficiary?That must be his lieutenant, Ling Xian, but his lieutenant did not return to the north after this incident, but went to General Zhennan to continue to be a junior lieutenant. It seems that this motivation is gone, and General Zhenbei's The position was temporarily taken by another lieutenant general who stayed in the north.

Qi Yu carefully read all the testimonies and found that there was nothing suspicious. They all happened in the middle of the night, and the kitchen opened fire twice.The kitchen is the place that has seen the most testimonies...

Qi Yu thought of the big stove. If you want to hide the corpse... then the stove might be a good place...

As soon as Qi Yu thought of this, the voices of Meng Gan and Lin Qingxuan came from outside the door. They were chatting happily, and his tired body seemed to be refreshed because of their laughter.

"Sister Yuxin, is it so early today?"

Meng Gan greeted Qi Yuxin when he saw Qi Yuxin, but Lin Qingxuan couldn't help frowning when he saw Qi Yuxin's face, and said, "You... Yuxin, you just stayed in the old case room all night. Bar?"

Looking at Qi Yuxin's pale face, and a layer of inconspicuous black under his eyes, it is obvious that this person does not have enough rest...

"Well... I have a bold idea."

Qi Yuxin just smiled, and didn't answer Lin Qingxuan's question. After all, she was all focused on the case now, and lack of rest was common, so she didn't care.

"what?"

Meng Gan asked, while Lin Qingxuan quietly waited for Qi Yuxin's answer.

"The body of General Zhenbei may be in the mansion, in that big kitchen."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Gan and Lin Qingxuan were a little shocked, not knowing why Qi Yuxin had such a bold idea.

"Why do you have such an idea?"

Lin Qingxuan asked, and Qi Yuxin pointed to the restoration of the case that he had just written, and said: "Many testimonies appear in the place of 'kitchen', maybe it is intuition, maybe this is also the key to the case, so, go to the kitchen Check it out, it will be better."

After Qi Yuxin finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan carefully looked at the record that Qi Yuxin had just written, and said after a while, "Yu Xin, why don't you take a break, Meng Gan and I..."

Before Lin Qingxuan finished speaking, Qi Yuxin smiled and said: "It's okay, this was a common thing in the small team before, I'll go with Menggan today! You rest."

Lin Qingxuan's complexion couldn't be better today, Qi Yu knew that when Guishui came, girls were always very weak, so he let Lin Qingxuan continue to rest.

Seeing that Qi Yuxin couldn't be persuaded, Lin Qingxuan nodded and agreed to let Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan go to Zhenbei General's Mansion.

Because of the search warrant, the two entered and exited the Zhenbei General's Mansion freely, and soon came to the kitchen. Since the fire had not been fired for a long time, there was no food and no warmth from the fire, and the kitchen was actually a bit cold. .

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan searched around the kitchen, knocking everywhere to see if there was anything strange, especially the big stove...

Knock Knock...

"solid."

Qi Yuxin knocked on one end of the stove all the way to the other end, and found that the whole thing was solid, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed...

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Qi Yuxin stood up straight, and after watching around for a week, sighed again.

"Or did we miss something?"

Meng Gan trusts Qi Yuxin very much and admires Qi Yuxin very much. If she suspects that there is something wrong with the kitchen, Meng Gan thinks there must be something wrong, but he can't find it now, maybe he missed some details...

Because of Meng Gan's words, Qi Yu raised his spirits, looked around, and then his eyes fell on the wood-burning stove...

Qi Yuxin frowned, and walked over, the wood-burning stove was also huge, Qi Yuxin leaned in, and there was still room...

If the physique is bigger than Qi Yu's heart, can it also be stuffed in?

Thinking to himself, Qi Yu stretched out his hand to touch it. Because of the fire inside, the three walls were all pitch black. Qi Yu was not afraid of getting dirty, so he touched the cracks on the wall. It was caused by the fire, but...

Why does this wall have more cracks than the other two?

Qi Yu withdrew her body, turned to Meng Gan and said, "Meng Gan, do you know something about architecture?"

"Understood."

Meng Gan replied, and Qi Yuxin continued to ask: "Under what circumstances will the lime mortar dry out severely?"

The stove in this kitchen is made of lime mortar, but Qi Yuxin has little knowledge in this area, so he had to turn to Menggan for help.

"If the cracks are severe, it is likely that the lime mortar was just filled and then dried with external force. This will make the lime mortar solidify quickly, but there are many cracks."

Fortunately, Meng Gan has done some research on this aspect, so he can answer Qi Yuxin's tricky question.

"Just filled...fast solidifies...roasted..."

Qi Yuxin's brows gradually frowned, then tightened, and then completely relaxed. Looking at Meng Gan, they could see the answer in each other's eyes, the tacit understanding of a smile.

"Looks like we need someone to help."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Meng Gan volunteered and said, "I'll call someone!"

After Meng Gan finished speaking, he ran out, like a child who got candy, Qi Yu couldn't help smiling, and turned to look at the big stove...

General Zhenbei... are you really inside?

Soon, three guards came from Mengganla. Seeing that they were a little embarrassed, one of them said: "Well... to arrest the chief, it is not appropriate to pry open this stove. After all, this is the residence of General Zhenbei. If the original appearance is destroyed, I am afraid that the emperor will blame it..."

Qi Yu listened intently, and understood their concerns, and said: "If there is really nothing found in it, I will fill it in with the responsibility. If the emperor blames it, I will bear the blame."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Meng Gan also took a deep breath, this is a gamble, if the emperor blames it...

"All right…"

After the three guards heard Qi Yuxin's assurance, they finally agreed to come down, found a big hammer, and vigorously beat on the stove that Qi Yuxin instructed. Because they have practiced martial arts all year round, they are very powerful. The stove head cracked, and after a few more knocks, stones fell off one by one...

Qi Yu's heart beat faster and faster...as if something was about to appear in front of her eyes...

touch -- touch --

After knocking several times, as many stones fell, just as the guard was about to continue knocking, he stopped immediately, the big hammer in his hand fell to the ground, and then knelt down on the ground, finally chanting.

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan looked at the accident and immediately looked over, only to see a hand exposed in the broken stove...

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan felt excited all over their bodies, but the three guards were already kneeling on the ground, perhaps because they recognized...

I recognize the wristband on that hand...it belongs to General Zhenbei...

"Three... please continue to beat and remove the corpse, but don't damage the corpse, please."

Although he had been dead for five years, General Zhenbei's exposed hand showed no signs of corruption because it was buried in the limestone slurry.

The three guards were sweating, not daring to be negligent, and immediately continued to pry open the stove with a hammer. As many stones fell, half of General Zhenbei's body could already be seen, and the three carefully removed the stones. After moving away, the body of General Zhenbei was dragged out.

A complete corpse, the feet are somewhat curled, but the mighty face has fallen into a long sleep, and the tiger on the soft armor is still lifelike...

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan knelt down on one knee, saluting this general who had made great contributions to the Southern Kingdom.

"General Zhenbei, we are here to pick you up."

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan kowtowed to the corpse, and the three guards also knelt down and kowtowed to the corpse in front of them...

One of the guards went out to communicate, while the other guard brought a stretcher and a white cloth, put Zhenbei General Wu Chen on it, and sent it to the coroner's office in the palace.

The guards set up stretchers one after the other, and because the body of General Zhenbei had been recovered, all the soldiers lined up to salute their former boss, the general of the Southern Kingdom.

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan walked in front, looking at the kneeling soldiers on both sides, some of them even had tears in their eyes, looking at the man under the white cloth, the majestic seven-foot man couldn't help crying...

Qi Yuxin's mood was a little delicate. He was happy to find the body of General Zhenbei, but he was also sad because of the loss of a pillar in the southern kingdom.

"Two adults!"

At this moment, one of the guards yelled, and Meng Gan and Qi Yuxin who were walking in front stopped immediately, and looked back at the guard who spoke.

"My lords, please find out the murderer! Give General Zhenbei justice!"

"Find out the murderer! Give General Zhenbei justice!"

Dozens of people spoke at the same time... The voice was too loud, like the morning bell in a temple...

Shocking...
