"The four of you will answer the next question together." Yu Qingfeng decided to explore the identity of x. "Do the four deceased people know each other?"

The two maids and the two eunuchs looked at each other, thinking, and then shaking their heads in confusion.

Bi Yuan, Dan Yun and Xiao Luzi were really confused, but Xiao Fuzi still smiled cutely, as if he was just an outsider watching the fun.

"So do the four of them know someone in common?"

Still shaking his head in confusion.

"So before the legend of the Water Ghost in the Lotus Pond, was there anyone else in the palace who disappeared inexplicably or died due to illness?"

Still shaking his head in confusion.

Is this person and the real murderer hidden so deeply? Yu Qingfeng secretly said that something is wrong, the routine is not working? Or is this first case a different serial murder routine?

For a while, Yu Qingfeng really couldn't think of the second-ranked routine.

It seems that the only way to break through Xiao Fuzi is first.

Yu Qingfeng walked to the floating corpse and bowed to Lin Ming, who had finished observing and was about to return to the stone pavilion. "Master Lin, can you help me?"

Lin Ming raised his eyebrows and asked coldly: "What's the matter?"

"Can you look at my eyes later and tell the corpse to vomit or sigh at the right time?" Yu Qingfeng lowered her voice. Although there were only two of them near the corpse, movies and TV dramas love eavesdropping tricks, and they all have a good ear, so it is better to be cautious.

wonderful.

Lin Ming was startled, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yu Qingfeng with admiration, "How could you..."

"The so-called corpse poison is the putrefactive gas in the chest cavity of the corpse. With a little movement, the blocked esophagus and airway of the corpse can be opened, causing the dead person to vomit or make a sigh-like sound." Yu Qingfeng did her duty and fulfilled her responsibility to popularize science for the audience.

.

Lin Ming did not hesitate to express his admiration for Yu Qingfeng, "I thought Lord Pei was being willful and wasting time with any maid. It turns out that the girl is not idle. Are you and Lord Pei an old acquaintance?"

This time Yu Qingfeng shook her head blankly. She really didn't recognize this Pei Wuyan.

"Sighing by a corpse is accidental, but if it was drowning, there must be a lot of pool water in the stomach. It shouldn't be a problem for her to vomit after death, right?" Yu Qingfeng confirmed again, and quietly made a pressing action to remind her.

Lin Ming nodded confidently.

"Xiao Fuzi, come here." Yu Qingfeng winked at Lin Ming and called to Xiao Fuzi.

Although Xiao Fuzi disliked corpses, he didn't dare to disobey orders and came over obediently as Wang Gonggong was by his side.

"You and Aunt Sun are both from Guanhua Palace. You are the closest to her among the people present. Now that she has died unjustly, the resentment will not go away. You can express your condolences before the body is taken away."

"Ah? I told you, I'm not familiar with Aunt Sun..." Xiao Fuzi made a sad face and waved his hands in panic.

Yu Qingfeng winked, and Lin Ming took advantage of Xiao Fuzi's lack of attention and pressed twice on the corpse's chest.

"Alas -" the corpse failed to vomit, but instead "sighed".

"Xiao Fuzi, did you hear that?" Yu Qingfeng pretended to see a ghost in broad daylight, her eyes widened, her voice trembled, and she said seriously, "Aunt Sun just heard you say that you are not familiar with her, and she sighed!"

Xiao Fuzi's face turned pale, and he obviously heard the sudden and strange sound coming from the corpse two steps away. His whole figure seemed to have been struck by lightning.

"Master Lin, did you hear that? Aunt Sun sighed!" Yu Qingfeng asked while secretly wagging the fingers of her right hand.

Lin Ming took the hint and lied seriously: "I haven't heard it."

"Could it be that we are the only ones who can hear it?" Yu Qingfeng grabbed Xiao Fuzi's wrist with force, "That's right, I heard that Guan Cha has evil spirits on his body, and ghosts can't get close to Guan Cha's body, so he came to us. If we

If we can't help Aunt Sun find out the real culprit, she will never let go of her resentment and will definitely treat us..."

Yu Qingfeng had originally prepared a lot of threatening words, but she could not say any more because the child was already frightened and shaking like chaff. A few more words would easily scare the child to death.

"Xiao Fuzi," Yu Qingfeng leaned into Xiao Fuzi's ear and said earnestly and urgently, "Eunuch Zhao told you not to say anything? You only tell me one person, and I will never tell others. Others can obey Eunuch Zhao and keep his mouth shut.

But it’s about your life and mine, so you must know everything and say everything!”

Xiao Fuzi came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and wanted to put his mouth on Yu Qingfeng's ear, and said very quickly: "Eunuch Zhao said that you must not tell anything about Aunt Sun and the others who left the palace before the accident happened."

The chief herbalist from the Shangshi Bureau went out to buy raw materials for medicinal meals that were not available in the palace, the palace maids from the Shangfu Bureau went out to buy fabrics, and the female doctor from the Imperial Medical Bureau was hired from outside the palace, and went home for reunions every month during the holidays.

Why aren't you allowed to talk about things that are normal?

Yu Qingfeng smiled knowingly. If you don't talk about normal things, they are abnormal things.

After comforting Xiao Fuzi for a few words and thanking Lin Ming, Yu Qingfeng returned to the chair and sat down, continuing to assume the posture of a goddess detective.

"Next, the four of you will tell you what unusual behavior the four deceased had before the accident, or what unusual words they said. No matter how trivial it is, try your best to recall it. Those who tell more will be rewarded.

"

Rewards and other things are out of the question, but now the incentive mechanism must be put in place.

Biyuan's eyes gleamed when she heard "there is a reward", and she answered first: "About half a month before Aunt Chunxi's accident, she drank some wine once, and happily told me after drinking that she would definitely be promoted to Shangshi within a year at most.

.I said how is it possible? The current female official of Shangshi was promoted to the position not long ago, and she is highly valued by the queen. But Aunt Chunxi said, what does it mean to be favored by the queen... Anyway, she said she can do it."

Dan Yun seemed to be inspired by Bi Yuan and was eager to speak, "Xiao Cui was also abnormal before the accident. She had always been very frugal, but that time she suddenly became generous. I accidentally caught her going through her purse, and there was a lot in it.

Where is the money? I asked her where it came from and whether it was stolen. She denied it, but she was very mysterious and refused to say where it came from."

"There's a reward, there's a reward." Yu Qingfeng threw out a bad check.

When Xiao Luzi heard this, he hurriedly spoke, "Aunt Liu was also abnormal. She always gave me many instructions a month before the accident, saying that you should take care of yourself when I leave. I asked Aunt Liu where she was going.

, she said that after taking care of Concubine Shu, she would be able to leave her post and leave the palace after her confinement. I was quite reluctant to bear it, and I specifically asked Mr. Zhang from the Imperial Medical Bureau. Mr. Zhang said that he had no idea that Aunt Liu was retiring and returning home.

"

Yu Qingfeng turned to look at Xiao Fuzi, who was still in shock, and said, "There is a reward, there is a reward."

Xiao Fuzi came back to his senses, tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Aunt Sun has been sewing a belt not long ago, and embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks on the belt, saying it was a gift for her cousin. Her cousin has not been married for so many years.

If you want to marry me, just wait until Aunt Sun comes out of the palace when she is old enough."

"Xiao Fuzi, what you did is very ordinary, not abnormal, so I can't reward you." Xiao Luzi was worried that the reward would be fixed, and there would be more people and less meat.

Good guy, these four deceased people simply committed suicide. They were promoted, made rich, regained their freedom, received wedding gifts, got married, had no glory and life, and could receive box lunches at any time.

Yu Qingfeng once again firmly determined that she must have a female protagonist, otherwise she would not dare to accept good luck when it comes.

"I still have this reward, do you still have it?"

"Yes, yes," Bi Yuan was the first to speak in the second round. "On the night after Aunt Chunxi's body was discovered, someone set off a Kongming lantern."

Danyun and Xiao Luzi exclaimed at the same time: "Kongming Lantern!"

"What's wrong?" Yu Qingfeng asked excitedly.

"The night after Xiao Cui's accident, I also saw a Kong Ming Lantern in the sky!"

"Aunt Liu, too. Even on the night when the body was recovered, I also saw the Kongming Lantern!"

Someone was actually setting off Kongming lanterns to commemorate the three deceased people!

The person who put up the lantern couldn't be the murderer, right? If it was the murderer, it means that the murderer either didn't hate them, or even felt guilty about them? Or he believed in ghosts and gods and was worried about the ghosts' revenge, so he put out the lantern to save the souls of the dead.

In any case, we finally found something in common between the deceased people. That x was not a person, but a Kongming Lantern!

The top 1 routine obviously does not apply to the Lotus Pond serial case.
