The first work of the imperial prison

Ye Baiting inspected the body of Prince Lu's son that night.

The conclusion is basically the same as Lou Kai's autopsy results. The time of death, the method of killing, and the traces left on the deceased are all the same. There is basically no change. It is obvious that the murderer is one person.

Only the source of the poison, because it cannot be dissected, it is impossible to determine whether it is consistent with the previous case.It is still unknown whether there are any leaves left in the stomach of the deceased, and whether the direction to find the plants is accurate. However, the feature of the skin of the deceased's face and neck turning blue is too special, so there should not be too many variables?

If the source of the poison is the leaves of the plant, its shape and characteristics are slightly similar to tea leaves, and it is difficult to detect it when mixed together, but it will be very abrupt when placed elsewhere, and the color and shape are too easy to distinguish. How did the murderer let the deceased eat it? ?

The situation of Prince Lu's son is a bit special. When asking Sheng Long before, Qiu Xunqing deliberately brought up the topic of tea, starting with "whether you understand" or not. Sheng Long didn't notice it in order to hide his expression, and gave A rather unexpected piece of information——

The son loves Longjing, but he is not feeling well recently, and he has to stop tea temporarily under the doctor's advice, so he will definitely not drink tea in the near future.

Thinking about the scene of the crime, the tea set on the table had no traces of use except for the lack of a tray. The deceased drank water boiled in a clay pot. The taste is light, the color is light and transparent, and even residues such as petals cannot be seen, and it is impossible for a leaf to be mixed in.

It's not drinking water, it's food, but there are a lot of food on site, with complex categories, dark and light colors, crushed leaves, mixed with some kind of food... It doesn't seem to be difficult?The problem is that the deceased stayed in that room for more than two days, which one is the source of the poison... It is difficult to determine.

Jin Yiwei has already passed by, and now we can only wait for a more detailed search and verification.

Ye Baiting examined the body carefully, and even made a detailed comparison with Lou Kai's, and recorded all the details clearly on the autopsy grid...

In addition, there is another question that is also very strange, why did Sheng Long refuse to conduct an autopsy on the dead son?

The reason of 'children's filial piety' is a little untenable, let alone the deep affection for the fiancé. No matter the couple of children in Prince Lu's mansion, or Sheng Long herself, at present, they don't feel so much pain and grief for the death of the deceased. , Jin Yiwei asked about the autopsy, the answer should be nothing to them, why is Sheng Long so determined, so persistent?

What is she afraid of?Worried about something being found in the body?

Did she know what she ate before dying?This kind of thing is very critical and has a very special direction?

And the relationship between Sheng Long and Li Yao...

One doesn't care about her fiancé, and has no affection or expectations. The other hates her husband very much. She even couldn't help smiling brightly because of the death. It's normal to know each other or not to see each other often, but why did Sheng Long specifically emphasize that she and Li Yao are not emotionally close, or even alienated?

Is the purpose to deepen the suspicion of the other party, or to muddy the water, and not to let the case be solved?

No matter what, this Sheng Long must be hiding something.

Ye Baiting didn't sleep well that night, dreaming of going back to the exam room, one subject after another, the exams were endless, I don't know when the head will be, the answers are sluggish, the hair is going to be bald, the big questions still have no direction, can't find it When I saw the answer, the formula and regulations were clearly in my mind, but I just couldn't remember it...

The more difficult the time, the more people come to distract you. The invigilator is also very handsome, with a tall figure, a perfect curve from the shoulders to the waistline, and a pair of long legs that are not what humans can grow. The lines are piled up like mountains, you can feel dizzy when the sun hits you, he also wears gold-rimmed glasses, his shirt is buttoned up to the top, he obviously doesn't speak or smile, but just looking at him with any glance, he seems to have a smile on his face. hook……

Ye Baiting woke up in shock, opened his eyes, saw Qiu Yiqing who was holding the clothes and standing beside him, he paused, and then let out a long breath.

Fortunately, this man is not the invigilator in his dream, and his eyes are not so seductive.

"This is... clothes?"

"Put it on." Qiu Yiqing put the clothes beside his pillow, turned and walked out.

……

Early in the morning, Shen Jiangzhao came to Beizhen Fusi at an appointed time. As soon as he entered the Nuan Pavilion, he realized that something was wrong, and his eyeballs almost fell out: "You, why are you dressed like this?"

Young Master Jiao is wearing a light blue robe, the material is soft and drapes, outlining the perfect shoulder and waist line, with white jade hairpin, white waist buckle, white fox fur collar, the son is like bamboo like jade, arrogant and noble, if you can light Smile lightly, okay, the eyebrows are picturesque, the beautiful crouching silkworms set off the peach blossoms and lake water in the whole spring, how beautiful it is.

The commanding envoy is dressed in dark blue, the clothes are hard textured, the shoulders are wider and the legs are longer, the ape-armed wasp waist is matched with green jade hairpins, green waist buttons, and the arrow sleeves are cold and stiff. Su, with a majestic figure, don't talk about laughing, once he stands in front of you, you don't dare to laugh, how tense and tense you must be.

The two fought side by side, the young master was handsome and amiable, his appearance was like a banished fairy, the commander was mighty and mysterious, he could only be seen from a distance, but it was also...a tight match.

Ye Baiting looked down at the clothes on his body: "Why, isn't it clean?"

"It's plain... Other people's family is doing funeral things. We are not relatives, so we will give it away in the past. It is appropriate to wear it like this, and it is not rude." Shen Jiang looked at Young Master Jiao, and then at the commander, "But Wouldn't it look better with such a dress?"

"Dress up?" Ye Baiting said 'what the hell are you talking about', "Didn't we just change clothes?"

Her hair style wasn't done much, and her face wasn't well-groomed. At most, she was held down by Qiu Xunqing and put on some moisturizer. She was afraid that her face would get chapped if she went out against the wind in winter.

Shen Jiang: ...

You good-looking people, are you so unscrupulous in making ridicule!

But it seems... It's also true. Some people are even favored by God. They are good-looking, and they can surprise the world with a change of clothes. It's not good to be like him. According to the words of the family's wife, any clothes on him look like a bear. Buy it What a good material, or don't waste money.

Young Master Jiao even picked on him: "You have to change your clothes too. You dress like this to let others see at a glance. Are you going to investigate the case?"

Shen Jiang lowered his head to look at the Jinyiwei uniform on his body, yes, today is an unannounced visit, it is not appropriate to wear this.

He hurried back to the classroom, changed into the ordinary clothes that were placed here, and regretted wearing them even more, why didn't he insist on asking his wife to make him look extravagant!With his disheveled appearance, standing in front of Young Master Jiao and the conductor, is he trying to perform a monkey show!

"What are you looking at? I've never seen a good-looking man!" Shen Jiang gritted his teeth at Jin Yiwei in the yard, trying to intimidate him, but he was a little behind two steps after the intimidation, and found that Young Master Jiao looked over again. Urge.

Shen Jiang: ...

"Then what," he wiped his face, "can I stay away from you two today?"

He really didn't want to be set off like a big fool.

Qiu Yiqing: "You won't have such troubles today."

Ye Baiting: "The commander didn't intend to take you with him at all."

Shen Jiang: "Huh?"

The clothes are all changed, you tell me this?

Ye Baiting smiled: "There are many people today, and there are many targets we need to keep an eye on. It's better to get together. Your main task today is to keep an eye on the two little girls..."

Shen Jiang: ...

"Zhu Yue? Who else? Could it be her handkerchief? The one who played in the meeting last time, the daughter of Zheng Hongchun and Ma Xianglan? What's the name of this child?"

"Zheng Baiwei." Ye Baiting reminded with a smile, "If you are hungry or thirsty, you can apply as you like. There is only one rule. During the mission, you are not allowed to drink alcohol or come forward to ask questions. The girls are very sensitive. I will observe the two of you today. For the Lord, see if there is a detail to guide us."

OK.

Shen Jiang thought about it, and could act alone anyway: "But how did Mrs. Li come here? The eldest son was killed, the palace of Prince Lu was suspended, and her husband, Lou Kai, also died, so she must also wear mourning at her own home?"

"Prince Lu's mansion has her husband's relics, she needs to come and pick them up in person," Ye Baiting glanced at Qiu Yiqing, this man seemed to be able to arrange everything, and everything was perfect, so nothing could go wrong, "Prince Lu's son has a different status. Come here and offer incense, no one else can find any reason."

According to common sense, there are also rules for funerals here. For example, it must be an old man with a good life and longevity. After his death, he will make a big fuss. A stage is set up in front of the owner's door, and the people are as lively and festive as they are on festivals. It's hard to be so lively, but there are exceptions, and the family's thoughts have to be taken into account. This time, the palace is hanging out, and the singing is also invited.

This is not driven by Qiu Xunqing.But they can use this opportunity to explore more things.

Ye Baiting felt that there would be a lot of gains today, but he had to pay a lot of attention and be very careful.

When the three of them arrived at Prince Lu's mansion, there were already guests paying their respects and offering incense one after another. The family members only had a pair of siblings in place of greeting, dressed in linen and filial piety, with reddish eye circles.

"Good scenery and sunny days, all kinds of purples and reds are in full bloom. Carved railings are full of treasures, clouds are clustered..."

Ye Baiting heard the melodious libretto from a distance, it was...

"The Peony Pavilion?"

Qiu Yiqing nodded, and pulled him to avoid the people passing by, and walked in.

Shen Jiang put his hands on his eyebrows and looked up the stage: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to sing "The Peony Pavilion" on this kind of day?"

Some of the guests also thought so, and someone in the mourning hall had already pointed it out, with stern expressions and accusing voices.

Zhu Po, the son of the deceased, was only eight years old. He had never seen this battle before. He was shocked, his eyes were red, his lips were tightly pressed, and he burst into tears.

Zhu Yue pulled his younger brother behind him, looked up at the person coming, and raised his eyebrows: ""The Peony Pavilion" was my father's favorite song during his lifetime. Although he didn't expect such a catastrophe in his life, he joked in private before that if it happened in the In such a song, if you die, you will have no regrets. My brother and I are just fulfilling my father's long-cherished wish. Why not? Everything depends on you. My father's soul is restless and unwilling to go away. Will it be your fault? ?”

While she was talking, she subconsciously touched her waist, but she didn't find anything. She paused, then retracted her eyebrows sarcasticly: "You all have opinions today. When my father was alive, why did you Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, no one dared to persuade? My siblings are young and have no one to rely on!"

"If you don't think it's okay, if you want to change it, that's fine. Why don't you go and ask my father to see what he thinks. If you are not satisfied with today's repertoire, what arrangement do you want to change?"

There was silence in the mourning hall.

This is said, people are dead, how to ask?Do you want to die yourself to ask the soul of the son?

Little girl from every family, don't you think it's too much to say such a thing!

The guests in the mourning hall looked very dissatisfied.

Zhu Yue wanted to say something, when a girl in a pea green plain skirt walked over and stuffed a cup of hot water into her hand: "Your mouth is dry, drink some."

Zhu Yue frowned slightly, but said nothing more, obediently held the cup and drank hot water.

The girl in the pea green plain dress didn't say much, she calmed down the person, and looked far away, and landed on the female lead by the stage.

The eyes of the two met briefly, as if they were nodding their heads, but also seemed to be too small to see clearly, as if they had reached a tacit understanding in a short period of time, the girl retreated, and the "Peony Pavilion" on the stage did not stop, still singing.

The atmosphere in the mourning hall couldn't be more embarrassing, Sheng Long stood up, walked in front of Zhu Yue, and blocked the little girl tightly: "The royal palace has a big funeral, and you all came to see the prince for the last time, all of you are kind, and everyone in the royal palace is deeply moved." , It’s just that the child is still young, maybe he is not sensible enough, maybe he is not thoughtful enough, and what he does is just a child’s heart. I want to do a little filial piety for my father in the end, and I want my father to go well all the way. In my opinion, it is commendable. I hope they In the future, I can still maintain this sincerity in dealing with people, and I hope you will show some tolerance and love, and don't be too harsh."

Although the words are pleasant to hear, Sheng Long's surname is always Sheng, and he has not yet married into the palace, so he is a bit out of line and has a bad conduct, which is easy to be criticized by others.

Zhu Yue saw other people's expressions at the tip of her eyes, and she was about to get up and speak by herself, but Sheng Long stretched her hand behind her back and waved it lightly, telling her not to move...

The little girl bit her lip, she didn't move, but she was holding her breath, that's for sure.

Shen Jiang watched: "The little girl in the palace is quite savage, she dares to talk... The little girl who handed her water should be her handkerchief, Zheng Baiwei?"

Ye Baiting and Qiu Yiqing looked at each other, Sheng Long came out, no one in the palace thought it was wrong, and he was really the master of the palace.

"Tsk, what's the matter with you bitch? Where did you learn the new trick, you always lean towards the man? Why, just after the man in the family died, you couldn't wait to seduce the outsider?"

Outside the mourning hall, a greasy and malicious voice suddenly came from a man.

Ye Baiting took a look and found that it was Lou Kai's wife, Li Yao, who seemed to have bumped into the man accidentally, and all the incense twisted in her hand fell off the man.

Qiu Yiqing leaned close to Ye Baiting's ear and said in a low voice: "This man is Zheng Hongchun, the player from the last meeting, and the woman standing behind him is his wife, Ma Xianglan."

There are so many people today, some small accidents and small conflicts are not a big deal at all, we can get along with being polite to each other, but Zheng Hongchun wanted to shout out in such a loud voice... Wouldn't there be too many people who came to see it?

Li Yao bit the white seal on her lower lip, as if she couldn't stand it, she took two steps back, Ruo Liu Fufeng's body seemed to be able to fold here on the spot if she wasn't careful, she seemed terrified, her eyes were reddish , and did not dare to make an excuse loudly: "I don't have... my husband's deceased husband is newly mourned. I have been in a trance for the past few days, and I just walked forward. I didn't expect Mr. Zheng to take a step back, and then I bumped into... It's all my concubine. No, my concubine will compensate you..."

Zheng Hongchun snorted, and looked at Li Yao rather unscrupulously: "Then what do you say, your clothes were dirty and your hands were touched, so just let it go?"

Ma Xianglan gave her husband a hand, and reminded her husband in a low voice: "It's not good, everyone is watching..."

Zheng Hongchun pushed hard, with great strength, if it weren't for the crowd to follow, Ma Xianglan would have been thrown to the ground directly: "Why, you still think I'm ashamed? Just watch it, let everyone judge and judge, if you have nothing to do with the man Damn, she looks like this, she is not seducing me, what is she doing!"

Ye Baiting frowned, looked at Qiu Yiqing: "You arranged it?"

Qiu Yiqing shook her head: "Not yet."

He said, how could the commander arrange such a disgusting thing?Ye Baiting thought, there are many ways to create opportunities, there is no need to be so shoddy, but since the opportunity has come like this... He glanced at Qiu Suiqing, his eyes were full of hints.

Qiu Xunqing had already signaled, ordering his subordinates in the crowd to stop the first small action.

Turning his head to see the boy's shining eyes, he couldn't hold back, and pressed the boy's head: "Not bad, quite clever."

What happened in front of the mourning hall can't be ignored, since Zhu Yue's words are not good and will offend others, Sheng Long still stood up and said, "Mr. I don't know how angry you are."

Zheng Hongchun snorted: "What do you know, a woman, you don't know a lot!"

Sheng Long pinched the handkerchief, her eyebrows and eyes were quiet: "The world is so big, who can know everything about it? I can't do it, can an adult just do it?"

While she was talking, she glanced at the Wangfu study.

There are the secrets of the prince, and the means of coercing others are hidden. This look is full of meaning-there are three thousand nails on the broken ship, and it is not impossible to cure you if you are dead.

Zheng Hongchun: "You—"

Sheng Long looked at Li Yao: "I'm sorry, let Madam be wronged, but take things? Come with me."

After finishing speaking, An Jing quietly took the person away.

Zheng Hongchun lost face, yelled at Wei Xiaoren and women are difficult to raise, also threw up his sleeves and left.

The crowd sighed and shook their heads, whispering, with different expressions——

"Mr. Li is really pitiful. She was originally weak. Now that her husband has died, she has become a widow. I don't know how many people will bully her in the future..."

"Does Zheng Hongchun have any trouble with Lou Kai... Oh, what a woman..."

"The girl from the Sheng family is not bad, she is sensible, understands the general situation, she is a good match, the son will miss it after all..."

"I don't know how her relationship with Shizi is. It's best not to hurt too deeply, otherwise it will be difficult to get married in the future..."

Ye Baiting and Qiu Yiqing looked at each other, not to be too obvious to each other - did you see anything?

"The distance between the two is relatively subtle, and they are obviously outside a safe distance. They should indeed not be familiar with each other."

"The result of doing things has the meaning of maintenance."

"Follow up and have a look?"

"can."

The two followed Sheng Long and Li Yao.

At first, she could hide in the crowd without being noticed, but the road Sheng Long led became more and more remote and quieter. Discover.

How to do?

Ye Baiting was worried when he saw Qiu Yiqing stretching out his hand to him: "Come."

"Ok?"

"come over."

Qiu Yiqing suddenly grabbed his waist, tapped his toes on the ground, led him up the high wall, quickly moved a few steps sideways, and hid in the corner of the room.

Ye Baiting was surprised before he came, and asked if it was appropriate, or I'll forget it, already being hugged by Qiu Yiqing, following the footsteps of Sheng Long and Li Yao, jumping and falling, and finally hiding in a There is shelter at the back and the eaves with a wide view in front.

The space is not wide, even if it is wide, he is likely to fall if he stands alone, Ye Baiting can only hold the corner of Qiu Gu's Tsing Yi, and get very close to him.

Qiu Yiqing glanced at the young man's tightly pursed lips: "Cold?"

Ye Baiting shook his head: "It's not cold."

Just a little scared.

The kind that is physically uncontrollable.I'm not a martial arts master, I haven't experienced this kind of position, how to give psychological advice is a bit hypocritical, Ye Baiting secretly slanders, the same is true for Lu Wangfu, why is such a good house built so high!

Qiu Yiqing took the young man into his arms and hugged him tighter: "Just say it when it's cold, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Ye Baiting: ...

It's really not.

But since we've reached this point, why not... get closer, tighter.

They are all men, so what are you afraid of, your life matters.The leader is so caring and considerate, the big deal is to be more obedient in the future, so as not to cause trouble for Qiu Xiqing.

Sheng Long had already stopped, and pushed open the door of a side room.The window of the room was open, the angle was just right, and the distance was also right. Not only could Ye Baiting see the two of them clearly, but he could also hear what they were saying.

The size of this wing room is not small, the furnishings are not too small, it is well arranged, and there are things that are used in daily life. It is obviously not a house that will be vacant for a long time. The items are mainly elegant and quite feminine, so this is... Sheng Long in A room in Prince Lu's mansion?

Looking again, there is a whip on the long table in the corner, with red flowers on a black background, and the pattern is very special...

Ye Baiting asked Qiu Yiqing softly: "Did Sheng Long say she likes whips?"

"What?" Qiu Yiqing didn't seem to hear clearly.

Ye Baiting had no choice but to get closer, almost lying on Chou Yiqing's body, next to the other's ear: "That's right, did our people find out, Sheng Long usually likes whips?"

This time Qiu Yiqing should have heard it clearly, and quickly answered: "No, it's just that Zhu Yue likes it."

"Then the thing in her room...may not be hers?" Ye Baiting thought, if Sheng Long and Zhu Yue were on good terms, it would not be unreasonable for Zhu Yue's things to appear in the room.

"Ah."

"Does the Commander feel cold?"

"Ok?"

"Your ears seem a little red."

"No problem. Focus on watching."

Ye Baiting responded, and looked at Li Yao who walked into the room together: "Lou Kai's relic...does the palace have it? Or did you prepare it?"

Qiu Xunqing: "Really, I just took advantage of this opportunity to promote a reasonable 'necessity'."

The door of the wing room was closed, and the two women were about to talk!

Ye Baiting observed carefully, concentrated his attention, and did not forget to praise the leader: "Beautiful job!"

Qiu Xunqing looked at the boy's soft hair: "Just doing it beautifully?"

Ye Baiting replied immediately: "Who is the commander, of course he can do it better!"

"That's right." Qiu Yiqing was not humble at all, "You just need to understand."
