Doctor, you are so cold

Yan Yunqi said to the boy, "Have you told anyone about your affair with Xiao Xing?"

The little boy kowtowed, "This matter is so important that I don't dare to tell anyone about it."

Yan Yunqi nodded and thought for a while, "Xiao Xing was sold to the palace as a maid since she was a child. She is lonely and has no family. She entrusted her life to you and died because of you. What do you think should be done?"

The boy saw that Yan Yunqi wanted to give Xiao Xing an explanation, and quickly said, "But according to the prince's order."

Yan Yunqi pondered for a while and said, "Her body is still in the government office, you bring her back and bury her well, marry her with her memorial tablet, put it in your genealogy, and give her a name and a home."

In this way, if the servant gets married and has children in the future, Xiao Xing, as the first wife, will at least have someone who burns incense and worships her.

The servant hurriedly agreed, feeling bitter for Xiao Xing.

Yan Yunqi said, "Take Dr. Ning to that pomegranate tree to see the situation."

The servant hurriedly responded and took Ning Wuxin out.

Yan Yunqi thought, the pomegranate tree is a key clue.

Since the murderer was able to lure Xiao Xing out in the middle of the night, he must have sent her a secret signal through the pomegranate tree.

How did he know the code?

Yan Yunqi drank his tea and already had an answer in his mind.

There are only a few people who can become murderers.

However, I don't have any conclusive evidence now, how can I force the real culprit to appear?

It's not an easy task.

Not long after, Ning Wuxin came back with the servant.

Ning Wuxin said in Yan Yunqi's ear, "The location of the pomegranate tree is very remote, just at the corner of the wall. There is a small groove at the root of the wall where the tree faces, and the red stone is stuffed in the groove. Can't find it."

Yan Yunqi nodded, this was as he expected.

He said to the boy, "I want you to do something for me."

"My lord, please tell me." The boy complained in his heart, why is there something else?

Yan Yunqi asked everyone else to retreat, only Ning Wuxin and Bao Ci were left in the hall, and said, "I want you to stay in the government prison for a few days."

The servant immediately trembled, "My lord, I am really innocent, and I am willing to marry Xiao Xing as my wife. Please spare my life."

Yan Yunqi smiled, and kowtowed to the horror of the little servant's smile.

I just heard him say inscrutablely, "I told you to go to jail, just to pretend. If you don't go, I won't be able to find the murderer here. If you don't go, I will really make you a murderer. Will you go?"

The boy complained in his heart, even if he went, if the prince couldn't find the murderer, wouldn't he want to be the murderer himself?

He begged, "Just...pretending? No torture to extract a confession?"

Yan Yunqi didn't speak, just drank tea slowly.

The boy waited for a long time, but the prince didn't even have a guarantee, but he had no choice but to say, "But according to the prince's order."

Yan Yunqi drank tea for a long time, and made the little boy very nervous, and then called the guards to come in and told them to send the little boy to the government office.

Before leaving, he gave Bao Ci a few more instructions, telling him to send the young servant there in person, telling Lan Shangjun not to use torture, but to stay in his cell for a few days, and at the same time take Xiao Xing's body away. Prepare for burial.

Then Bao Ci left with a few guards and servants.

Yan Yunqi frowned. Who was the murderer? How did he force him to admit it?

There is not enough evidence at hand, which is really difficult.

Ning Wuxin stood beside him, pouring tea and water for him, without saying a word, and not disturbing his thinking.

Yan Yunqi said, "Read it, tell me, why did the murderer take Xiao Xing's fingernails off?"

Ning Wuxin frowned, shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. He killed someone as a souvenir."

Yan Yunqi's eyes narrowed.

He thought so at the beginning, and now even Nianzhi thinks so, I'm afraid it's true.

If so, I'm afraid what they encountered was a——

Yan Yunqi stood up, "Read it, follow me to the government office."

"Go to the government office? What are you going to do?"

"See Wu Zuo."

Ning Wuxin supported Yan Yunqi and was about to go out when he heard a servant coming from a distance to report, "I want to report to the lord, Yang Yu from the government office is asking for an audience."

Yan Yunqi was overjoyed and said quickly, "Please come in."

I was still thinking about how to persuade Wu Zuo just now, but I didn't expect this person to come looking for me.

The case is indeed hopeful!

The two of them sat down in the hall, and Yang Yuzuo came in with his back bent. He seemed to have something important on his mind and looked very old.

As soon as he entered the hall, he covered his knees and knelt down to salute with difficulty while calling the prince.

Yan Yunqi quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry."

Then, he made a gesture of invitation, "Please sit down, old man. How are you today?"

Yang Yuzuo didn't dare to sit down, so he just stood beside him, "Please worry about the prince, the villain can't afford it."

Yan Yunqi smiled and remained silent.

Yang Yuzuo cleared his throat and said dryly, "After listening to the words of the lord and the doctor, the villain spent the whole night thinking about it last night. He didn't sleep well all night, and his conscience was disturbed. I came to see the lord this time to tell the lord about the case. "

Yan Yunqi was a little excited, and quickly took a breath, "Please tell me, old man."

Yang Yuzuo's face was a bit sad, "The villain has only been working as a coordinator with the state government for two years, but this is not the first time I have seen a female corpse like Xiao Xing."

Yan Yunqi narrowed his eyes, "Please tell me about your work."

"The villain knows that there is a big deal here, and every time he encounters such a female corpse, he keeps an extra eye. Counting, the villain has seen four female corpses, all of which were murdered and raped, and the right toe cover was lifted off. "

Yan Yunqi frowned, his prediction was really good.

The act of lifting the nail cover is really like taking away the spoils that Ning Wuxin said.

People who do this, usually enjoy the act of killing, are likely to be repeat offenders.

Moreover, the murderer was calm and brutal. The murderer seemed to be orderly in this series of murders, clothed and hanging corpses, definitely not something a novice could do.

Ning Wuxin was a little surprised, "Has the previous case been solved?"

"The suspense in the two cases has not yet been solved, and the murderer has been convicted in the other two cases, and has been beheaded."

Yan Yunqi's face became gloomy, "I'm afraid it was torture."

Wu Zuo lowered his head and gritted his teeth. Anyway, today is going to fight.

He said loudly, "At that time, the two murderers kept calling for innocence. One couldn't survive the severe punishment and confessed. The other passed out after being tortured by the severe torture. He was arrested when he lost consciousness. The one who refused to admit to death. , it is said that he has offended Lan Zhifu before."

Yan Yunqi was furious.

This kind of unjust prison is the same everywhere!

Lan Shangjun is an official, sooner or later he will confront him one day!

He calmed down, and said softly to Wu, "Don't spread the things that the old man told me today. If Lan Zhifu asks you why you came to my house today, just say that I asked you to tell about Xiao Xing's corpse .”

Wu Zuo's eyes were already warming up, and he choked up, "My lord, you don't have to worry about the villain. It's a villain's blessing to meet Mr. Qingtian with a piece of old bones. As long as the lord can find the murderer and avenge the dead woman, The villain dies without regret."

Yan Yunqi lowered his head, and Ning Wuxin was also silent.

In the next half an hour, Yan Yunqi asked in detail about the identities of the four women and the circumstances of their deaths, and after understanding all the cases, the old master left slowly.

Ning Wuxin was silent for a while, "Does the lord already know who the murderer is?"

Yan Yunqi nodded slowly, "I'm afraid he has been committing the crime for a long time. Four corpses were found, and I'm afraid there are more. He thought that no one could catch him, but this time he committed a crime in the palace. This king will definitely catch him come out."

Ning Wuxin's eyes lit up, "Who is it? How can we catch him?"

Yan Yunqi smiled slightly, "Ask Bao Ci to call over the twelve bodyguards we selected last night. At the same time, it was announced that the murderer who killed Xiao Xing had been caught and sent to the government office. The prince was happy and wanted to hold a banquet to honor his contribution to the case. Those who have passed, invite them to eat in the garden!"

Ning Wuxin immediately complied.

——————————————————————————————————————

At night, the gardens of Hewangfu were brightly lit and filled with laughter.

Commander Liu sat in the upper seat, right where Yan Yunqi was attacking, facing Ning Wuxin.

Several housekeepers in the palace, several guards who captured Xiao Xing's lover, several sisters of Xiao Xing, and several gardeners who managed the palace garden also brought their families to sit on the mat below.

Everyone took turns toasting to the prince and the stunning doctor beside him.

Commander Liu said with a smile, "The lord and the genius doctor have managed to catch the murderer, which is really admirable."

Yan Yunqi smiled and said he was ashamed.

Commander Liu flattered the two of them again, and the three of them chatted happily.

Not long after, a guard came to Ning Wuxin's side and whispered a few words.

Ning Wuxin smiled in Yan Yunqi's ear, and said calmly, "My lord, I didn't find what you were looking for."

With a calm face, Yan Yunqi said softly, "It should be hard to find, so let's prepare for the next step."

After finishing speaking, he continued to drink and have fun with everyone.

Ning Wuxin hurriedly told the guards.

After the guard took the order, he immediately withdrew.

After another quarter of an hour, Yan Yunqi's face was already blushing, and he laughed loudly, "Today is really fun! Everyone continue to eat and drink, until you have fun! This king is too drunk, so I am going to rest!"

Everyone hurriedly got down from the table and knelt to send people off.

Bao Ci and Ning Wuxin helped Yan Yunqi, who was laughing loudly, away.

Not long after, Commander Liu also withdrew, leaving only a group of guards and servants in the garden.

Without the boss and master, everyone let go.

For a while, drinking and drinking, punching and punching, noisy and unseemly.

When it was bustling, several people suddenly shouted, "It's not good! The south courtyard is flooded! Several rooms have been burned!"

The people at the banquet were not yet drunk, and everyone immediately shouted and shouted to put out the fire, and there was a lot of chaos for a while.

Several housekeepers shouted angrily, "Get water from the lake to put out the fire!"

Everyone rushed to find buckets and washbasins, and ran to put out the fire.

As soon as we arrived at the south courtyard, we saw thick smoke coming out of several rooms, and the courtyard was already in chaos, with many people running in and out.

When a person sees this situation, he is anxious.

His room is next to the smoking room.

Inside, there are very important things for him.

He gritted his teeth, if that thing disappeared, he would be very reluctant.

He looked around and then at the room. If he rushed in now, it might be too late.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked around again, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he rushed into his room like flying, quickly took something away, dug out the silver taels he had accumulated, and rushed out.

As soon as he came out, Ning Wuxin and several guards were already standing at the door.

He frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Ning Wuxin gave him a wink, and several guards immediately took him down and snatched what was in his hand.

Then, a few people dressed as servants came out with sore backs, their faces covered in black and gray.

They all held a large charcoal brazier in their hands. The black smoke came out of the charcoal brazier, and there was no fire in the south courtyard.

Ning Wuxin took the thing and took a look, it turned out to be a small sculpture of a peacock.

He turned the sculpture over and over several times, suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared on his face, and he said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, you who manage the vegetation of the palace, why do you attach so much importance to such an elegant thing, and you risk your life to save it?"

The man called Uncle Wang looked gloomy.

What the hell is going on here?

Is it a trap set up, just waiting for him to jump into it?

The murderer is not Xiao Xing's lover, has he been caught?

How did you find him again?

How much do they know already?

——————————————————————————————————————

The man called Uncle Wang was brought to the hall by several guards and knelt in front of Yan Yunqi.

Yan Yunqi drank his tea slowly without speaking.

The man in his 40s looked gloomy, but he was neither arrogant nor impatient. He just knelt down below without any reaction.

Yan Yunqi smiled and said, "Wang Yijian, 43 years old, and a native of the state capital, came to the palace five years ago to work as a gardener, married a wife of the Bai family, and has no children."

Wang Yijian's voice was calm, "I don't know what the prince means by putting the villain here?"

Yan Yunqi went straight to the point, "It means that you are the murderer who killed Xiao Xing."

Wang Yijian snorted softly, "Why did your lord say that?"

Yan Yunqi drank tea slowly, and said slowly, "The night Xiao Xing died, she met someone voluntarily, which means that someone knew the contact information between her and her lover, and buried a red stone under the pomegranate tree in the west courtyard. The red stones are usually buried very hidden, except for those who sweep the floor and those who manage the vegetation in that area, I really can't think of anyone who would notice this."

"What the prince said, the villain can't understand at all. Even if the villain manages the vegetation in that area, it doesn't necessarily mean that the villain killed the person."

Yan Yunqi sneered, "That's true. But I also know another thing."

Wang Yijian didn't speak, but stared at Yan Yunqi coldly.

Yan Yunqi continued, "This murderer has done more than this one case. He has committed multiple murders a few years ago. To commit a murder, you must have time to commit the crime. I checked the information of the few of you, and the others don't often come out of the palace. Only you often go out because you want to buy seeds. Your suspicion is deeper."

Wang Yijian sneered, "The villain dares to ask, does the lord have evidence? But since the lord has already identified me, he can just send me to the government office to torture and extract a confession, no evidence is needed at all."

Yan Yunqi drank tea and said slowly, "Some of these murdered women were married and some were unmarried, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they all had lovers. I don't know what happened to this murderer before. The woman hates it very much."

A sinister look flashed across Wang Yijian's face.

Yan Yunqi said to Ning Wuxin, "Think about it, did you find something?"

Ning Wuxin put the sculpture in Yan Yunqi's hands, and put a few pieces that were broken off from the sculpture on his hands, "My lord, this is a small sculpture of a peacock. I just took a closer look at the peacock's feathers, and I took them off these things."

Yan Yunqi touched the dismantled things and scattered them around Wang Yijian, which turned out to be human nails.

"You must caress the things on these women every day, and carefully recall the scene when you killed them. The room is on fire, and you are very reluctant to part with these spoils. You must rescue them."

Wang Yijian didn't speak, his face was ferocious for a while, and he became dazed for a while.

Yan Yunqi said to Ning Wuxin, "How many nails in total?"

"There are twelve pieces in total."

Yan Yunqi sighed, "Twelve nails are twelve people. What are you doing so many cases for?"

Wang Yijian still didn't speak, but after a long time, she suddenly burst out laughing.

Yan Yunqi sighed, "Lock him up tonight and send him to the government office tomorrow."

——————————————————————————————————————

The next day, after Wang Yijian calmed down, he told the whole story.

When he told the story, he was very calm, even with a hint of excitement and impatience.

He and another gardener have been responsible for the vegetation in the west courtyard for a long time.

In the past month, both of them have discovered that there are occasional red stones under the pomegranate tree.

The other gardener didn't care, but Wang Yijian had a heart.

One morning, he had already dealt with the pomegranate tree, and when he passed by again, he saw a boy sneaking around.

As soon as the boy left, he immediately went to check, and sure enough, he saw a red stone in the groove of the tree root.

The boy was handsome and handsome, and he was very sensitive to this matter, so he immediately thought that this boy might have someone.

Most of the people who secretly communicated with the song had their contact information.

He immediately realized that this might not be a way of contacting.

This place is very remote, and usually not many people pass by.

So, he immediately began to think carefully about which women often came and wandered around during this period.

Thinking of this, he thought of Xiao Xing.

Xiao Xing shouldn't pass by here whether she is doing business or going back to the house, but recently she often sees her figure.

He thought, there must be something going on between the two of them.

I'm afraid it has become a good thing.

As soon as this thought came out, he couldn't bear it anymore, his blood boiled, and he immediately wanted to kill her.

So, that night, he waited not far from the servant's door.

Sure enough, not long after the third watch, the servant came out, looked around furtively for a long time, and came to the rockery in the garden.

Wang Yijian quietly followed behind, hiding in the dark to observe.

Not long after, a figure in a skirt also walked into the fake cave, and a low voice came from inside.

Wang Yijian's bloodthirsty desire slowly rose, and he couldn't bear it at all.

It is not uncommon for the government to be wronged and imprisoned. I have been fine for so many years. This time, as long as I pretend to hang her, it will be nothing.

Even if it is found out that it was homicide, he will definitely arrest the boy first, and he will never suspect himself.

So, after a few days, he also stuffed red stones under the pomegranate tree inside.

Shortly after midnight that night, he came to the garden.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xing came earlier this time and had a face-to-face meeting with him.

When Xiao Xing saw someone else, she was worried that others would find out about her, so she ran away immediately.

In a fit of rage, he covered Xiao Xing's mouth and nose, subdued on the ground, and accidentally rolled in the mint bushes for a while.

Then, he covered Xiao Xing's mouth and nose, ignored her struggle, took her to the rockery and strangled her to death.

After that, there is no need to talk about it.

——————————————————————————————————————

Yan Yunqi asked, "Why do you have such hatred for these women?"

Wang Yijian's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was very dazed, and finally gave the reason.

His mother was an unwed pregnant woman in a village.

He had no father since he was born, and was pointed at by others, stoned by children, and called a "mongrel" and "wild species".

My mother often cried at home, beat and kicked him when she hated him, scolded him "why was he born" and told him to "go to death".

This situation lasted until he was 15 years old and his mother passed away.

He went out to work for a rich family, fell in love with a girl who looked very pure and clean, that is, his current wife, and tried to marry her.

On the first day after getting married, he discovered to his horror that his wife had already lost her first night.

He felt extremely humiliated, but annoyed, he dared not ask who that man was, for fear that he would not be able to bear the answer.

He was originally a person who liked to keep things in his heart, and this was another very embarrassing thing. He couldn't tell others, he felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, became suspicious, and his emotions towards his wife fluctuated.

Gradually, he began to feel extremely resentful towards such women, thinking that they hurt people's feelings, deserved death, and all of them deserved to be killed.

Eight years ago, he accidentally discovered that a neighbor's daughter seemed to be in love with a boy next door.

Such a thing happened next to him, and he couldn't bear the disgust in his heart, so he led the girl to a place to kill her, and buried her on the spot.

Since that time, he has found that such killing can soothe his mood.

Moreover, for the first murder, the government didn't even find the body.

He couldn't help being bold.

So, things happened again and again.

Yan Yunqi and Ning Wuxin couldn't help being silent after hearing this.

"Shun Yan Yunqi Biography"

In the sixth year of Tianqi, Wang Yanyunqi and Wang Yanyunqi were enlightened by immortals one day. Although ordinary eyes cannot see things, they have opened the eyes of the sky and have the ability to break through prisons.

A maid of He Wang's mansion was found hanged in the firewood room, and He Wang did not need to be severely punished. The case was solved within three days and the real culprit was apprehended.

The murderer has been committing the crime for eight years, killed 12 people, and everyone in the state capital was amazed for a while.

As soon as the case was solved, the two unjust cases were vindicated, and the jailer Wan Nianyuan was found to have used severe punishments for private use, harming good people, and was removed from the Ministry of Officials, banned from employment for life, and sent to the frontier.

The magistrate Lan Shangjun was suspected of protecting his subordinates and not reporting what he knew, so he was fined with a salary of three years.

The Holy Majesty was very pleased when he learned of this, and he bestowed on Yan Yunqi a plaque to "see clearly".

Since then, Yan Yunqi has cracked countless cases and won the hearts of the people. When the people mentioned this prince, they all called him "the prince who cried out for injustice".
