The Queen's Secret

"When you entered the kitchen, did you see any suspicious people?"

Qi Yu stood heartbroken, with his hands crossed over his chest, and a pair of cold eyes looked at the cook in front of him who was trembling with fright.

"I don't remember it. They are all cooks and lieutenants... It was five years ago, my lord. I really don't remember clearly."

I don't know if it was the heat or the fear, but the cook was sweating profusely, and he couldn't help taking out a cloth towel to wipe it off and swallowing saliva.

"Deputy General Ling Xian? What is he doing in the kitchen?"

Qi Yu let go of the hand around his chest, stretched it out, and supported it on the table. Those beautiful eyes are beautiful, but they are as sharp as a knife edge, as if they want to cut people open with a knife. Look at the inside What color is flesh and blood?

"What is he... doing? Let me think about it..."

The cook wanted to scratch his head, but through the hat, he scratched it with his fingers, and then his eyes lit up, and said: "By the way, Vice General Ling said that he wants to cook something to warm the stomach. Let's go to rest first."

Qi Yu frowned slightly, and said, "Who brought the hangover soup to General Zhenbei?"

The cook narrowed his eyes, frowned, lowered his head, seemed to be very distressed, thought for a long time, but didn't speak.

"...Looks like he is also Lieutenant General Ling."

After the cook finished speaking, he said again: "I was busy at the time, and I really didn't care who brought the soup to General Zhenbei, but the relationship between Vice General Ling and General Zhenbei is very good, and Vice General Ling also did everything by himself, I think It's him..."

Qi Yuxin leaned back and didn't speak, her red lips were tightly pressed into a line, and she didn't know what sharp words would come out at any time.

No...speculative testimony, not evidence...

"Who is Lieutenant General Ling?"

Qi Yuxin asked immediately, while Meng Gan, who was recording at the side, gasped, and couldn't help looking at the cook with his energetic eyes, as if he was also very curious about the answer.

"He is very mature and stable. He is usually unsmiling, but he treats us very well."

The cook raised his head slightly, his eyes turned upwards, as if he was thinking. At that time, he had a very good impression of this man. In his eyes, soldiers were a bit arrogant, but Ling Xian couldn't. In terms of politeness, he always takes everything into consideration, and he will not treat them as servants. It makes people feel very comfortable to get along with.

"How did you know that he has a good relationship with General Zhenbei?"

Qi Yuxin's tone was cold, as if cold water had been poured on the cook's head, causing him to immediately recover from his memory.

"He was on the saddle, talking and laughing with General Zhenbei, more like a brother than a subordinate."

The cook also happened to see that Ling Xian could laugh, but in front of General Zhenbei, the guards, and people he didn't know, he always had a cold face.

"Well...you go to rest first!"

Qi Yu pondered for a while, and then revealed a faint smile. Originally, Qi Yu was very beautiful, but interrogating with a cold face always made people a little more scared, especially those cold eyes. Now with a smile, like the melting ice and snow in early spring, it melted the cook's heart...

"well…"

The cook stared straight at the eyes, but fortunately Meng Gan coughed lightly, and the cook remembered to get up and leave, but before leaving, he scratched the back of his head and smiled foolishly...

It seems to be a blessing in misfortune to have such a beautiful woman interrogating.

After the cook left, Meng Gan sorted out the confession records, then stretched, and his body that was sitting upright went limp.

"Sister Yuxin, this cook feels fine."

Although his memory is not very good, the cook does not seem to be the murderer.

"Um…"

Qi Yu nodded heartily, agreeing with Meng Gan's words. This is the last witness that has been recovered temporarily, and the mission this morning has been successfully concluded.

"By the way, Sister Yuxin, according to their testimony, that Ling Xian seems to be a bad guy, and he has a good relationship with General Zhenbei..."

Qi Yu not only questioned the cook, but also all the witnesses who came, some expressed unclear, and some were the same as what he said to the cook. They were all praises, not belittling.

It seems that Ling Xian's reputation is good...

"Ah."

Qi Yuxin didn't talk too much at first, but he just agreed again, which means he agreed with Meng Gan's words. Meng Gan was also used to the way of communicating with Qi Yuxin, so he didn't think much about it at the moment, and said, "Sister Yuxin, I Go out first!"

Seeing that Qi Yuxin was still standing in the middle of the house with her chest folded, she knew she was thinking about something, so she went out without disturbing her...

Qi Yu sighed inwardly, the original deep eyes dimmed, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved...

Some people have good reviews...

But who knows what's under that skin?

Suddenly Qi Yu thought of Bai An...

That man wore the skin of hatred, he hated the one who gave him all the darkness...

But he left the cleanest and kindest heart to the most innocent child...

All witnesses must stay at the Huangchuangmen. Fortunately, Huangchuangmen has prepared rooms for these witnesses to stay temporarily, otherwise it is probably not good for people to live in the dungeon.

Qi Yu walked out heartily, and saw Meng Gan facing the sun outside the door, waiting for him...

Qi Yuxin raised her eyes and saw that the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining. It was a fine day...

"Let's go and check the progress of the books."

"it is good."

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan turned a corner, came to another room, opened the door, the three arresters looked up, their eyes lit up, and said: "Arrestor Qi, we found some clues."

Qi Yu's heart and Meng Gan's eyes brightened, and they immediately went forward, walking like the wind.

"here."

One of the arresters picked up the account book, and he folded that page, so he opened it as soon as he flipped through it.

The arresting officer pointed to the account book and said, "Twenty catties of lime were delivered to a family named Chen Erhua."

"Only lime?"

Qi Yu carefully looked at the records in the account book, it was indeed ten days before the incident happened, and this Chen Erhua was someone who had never heard of it.

"Well, only Lime, we are still investigating the other accounts."

After the catcher finished speaking, he looked serious. This is the most basic quality of the catcher of the emperor's family. When talking about business, he is always meticulous.

"Twenty catties of lime, an ordinary person doesn't need to buy so much, who is Chen Erhua?"

Qi Yu pinched her chin with her index finger and thumb, frowning slightly, her pensive look seemed to exude a mysterious charm, like a puzzle, and she wanted people to keep exploring, the answer to this person's mystery.

The arresting officer was also inadvertently stunned, coughed lightly, and said: "We have checked just now, he is a businessman, and he usually does construction business."

"Building...there is nothing wrong with buying lime..."

After Meng Gan finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought about it, feeling that there was nothing wrong...but what was wrong?

"Isn't it the rainy season during that time? I remember that many construction projects stopped."

Qi Yu's brows relaxed, and his nose sighed, finally remembering this matter...

Meng Gan also looked suddenly enlightened, this is something wrong.

"Yes, but there will also be merchants who buy and stock up."

When the other arresting officer spoke, Qi Yu nodded heartily. This could indeed be a coincidence, but if too many coincidences come together, then it is not.

"Then let's continue to investigate, Meng Gan."

"exist!"

When Meng Gan heard Qi Yuxin call him, he immediately stopped his back and was very energetic.

"Leave the testimonial record and go investigate this Chen Erhua."

The corners of Qi Yuxin's mouth couldn't help but rise a little, not because someone loyally followed her vanity, but because seeing Meng Gan's spirited appearance made him feel good.

"Yes!"

Qi Yu said in his heart, Meng Gan answered right away, put the testimonial record in his hand with both hands, then turned around and was about to leave, saying: "Go and eat before doing anything."

"...Yes!"

Hearing Qi Yu's careful remonstrance, Meng Gan was hit in the soft part of his heart, and then he was a little moved, his scalp was a little numb, he immediately responded, and then turned and left.

"Chief Qi is really kind to his subordinates!"

"Yes, yes! This place is full of elders, and there is no one as careful as you."

"Hahaha, that's right, I'm envious!"

The three arresting officers were envious one by one, but Qi Yu knew that if they were asked to go to the old case room, then they would probably not want to, it was just a matter of appearance.

"Where, I have wronged you three, there is no good food today."

Qi Yuxin also smiled back, she didn't plan to go out today, she just planned to eat some food prepared by the small kitchen of the Huangchuangmen.

"It's okay, it's okay, how dare you spend money with the arresting secretary!"

"Who was looking forward to what Qi Buji would buy today?"

"Go! Don't say a word and no one will treat you as dumb!"

Qi Yuxin watched them fight and couldn't help smiling, with a smile on her mouth, she didn't interrupt, she was not familiar with them at all, although this topic surrounded her, but she didn't know how to join the topic.

"Work, work! Stop arguing!"

Although Qi Yuxin was not angry and was still smiling, the other arrester could see that Qi Yuxin probably didn't like to make noise, so he told the other two arresters to stop arguing.

Fortunately, everyone is a serious person, and immediately entered the state, and Qi Yuxin looked at the account book that was still open, dazed...

The three words Chen Erhua seemed to be engraved into her eyes like a mysterious code...

He could be hoarding, but why didn't other merchants do this?And at such a sensitive time...

Why...other merchants didn't do this?stockpile…

Qi Yu secretly checked this suspicion a few times, then opened the account book handed over by the arresting officer, and began to look through it.

Southland, imperial palace, old case room.

"Princess...let go first."

Lin Qingxuan wanted to push him away, but found that his hands and feet were completely out of his control and went limp. The only thing he could control was his own voice, so Lin Qingxuan opened his mouth.

"Well... kiss me once, and I'll let you go."

Tang Yirou's forehead was pressed against Lin Qingxuan's. Lin Qingxuan couldn't see her eyes, but he could feel the rising heat from her forehead and her close body.

And... Lin Qingxuan could still feel the gradually heavy breathing...

Slap each other's lips harder and harder...

With Tang Yirou's unique fragrance, it is like a faint scent of osmanthus, and the sweet taste seems to melt on the tip of the tongue through the tip of the nose... Even the body fluid has a slight sweetness...
