Thanks to the grace of someone in the stone pavilion, Yu Qingfeng was led by a palace maid to the nearest room to change into dry clothes, briefly wiped her hair and face, and then trotted back to the pavilion corridor.

"Time is urgent, don't waste time, the Zajia family has been ordered to cooperate with you, let's get started quickly." With a whisk, the chief eunuch spoke again.

Yu Qingfeng boasts that she has read countless dramas and knows all the routines of various film and television dramas. Isn't it just a case of a floating corpse? How can she be defeated?

Let's watch her unleash her charisma, show her wit and intelligence, and capture the handsome man.

"First, confirm the identity of the deceased. It can be seen from the clothing that the deceased is a maidservant. The key lies in how to confirm her specific identity. By the way, what is the name of this father-in-law?"

"The surname of the Za family is Wang, and he is the eunuch in charge of the East Palace." Eunuch Wang glanced sideways at Yu Qingfeng, coughed twice, and asked, "How are you going to confirm the identity of a corpse with such virtue?"

Yu Qingfeng first bowed and saluted, then pointed to the group of palace maids and eunuchs who were watching the excitement from a distance on the arch bridge not far from the lotus pond, "Eunuch Wang, please call those people over. I have a question to ask."

"Why that group of people?" Wang Gonggong was puzzled.

Yu Qingfeng couldn't say that the murderer liked to return to the scene after committing the crime, and even blended in with the spectators. This was a common routine in suspense dramas. She could only imitate the mystery of the protagonists in suspense dramas, and said confidently: "The mountain people have their own tricks."

The prince ordered the little eunuch beside him to run to the arch bridge. The people on the arch bridge looked like birds and beasts. The little eunuch had no choice but to call to the guards patrolling nearby, and then he brought over a dozen palace maids and eunuchs who were watching the fun.

Yu Qingfeng quickly scanned everyone's faces. If it was the real murderer, according to the routine, he would definitely show cowardice or be active at this time, and he would never be a human background.

As a result, everyone was abnormal, and they wanted to slap the word "problem" on their faces.

At first glance, this group of people seems to be a group performer. They are definitely not the murderers of all members. It is probably because they know some inside information that cannot be stated openly.

"Do you recognize this deceased person?" Yu Qingfeng asked.

"Where can I recognize you here?"

"I dare not look, I can't see."

…

"Is there anyone you know that you haven't seen for a few days?" Yu Qingfeng asked again.

According to her popular science knowledge of suspense dramas, the corpse has been soaked in this state for at least three days this season.

"I know a lot of people, and everyone has a different master. It's even more common not to see each other for several days."

…

The prince's eyes rolled in late but arrived.

"Okay," Yu Qingfeng had no choice but to use her trump card, "Among the people you know, are there any palace maids who are about to leave the palace and regain their freedom when they reach their age? Or are they about to go somewhere and have said how about waiting for me to come back? Or...

What good thing happened just now, such as getting rich or getting some treasure? Or maybe you prepared a gift carefully but haven’t given it out yet? Or maybe you’re bragging about what you will do soon?”

That's all Yu Qingfeng could think of for the time being.

According to the routines in movies and TV dramas, people in these situations, plus "wash their hands in the golden basin after doing this", if there is no light to protect life, it means that half of the foot has already stepped into the gate of hell.

The prince was dumbfounded and couldn't figure out what kind of problem this was.

A young eunuch in the crowd tilted his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said in shock: "It really does happen! Aunt Sun, the maid in charge of Guanhua Palace, mentioned to me at the beginning of the month that her master Tang Jieyu had given permission for her to leave the palace this month and return to the palace.

Married to my cousin at home."

"Aunt Sun?"

The little eunuch nodded and bowed, "Yes, Aunt Sun, Sun Qiaofen, 24 years old. We are both from the capital, so we know each other. Counting the days, Aunt Sun should be preparing for the wedding by now."

Yu Qingfeng asked the young eunuch to come closer to the floating corpse to identify it carefully, and then asked the prince to send people to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to confirm the records and see if Sun Qiaofen had really completed the procedures and walked out of the palace.

Soon, there were replies from both sides.

Sun Qiaofen did not leave the palace on time at all. The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs thought that Tang Jieyu had something to do with Sun Qiaofen and delayed her departure.

The little eunuch bravely stepped forward to observe the face of the floating corpse, and he cried and confirmed that it was Sun Qiaofen.

The second step is to pry open the mouths of these people.

"Your Majesty, these people all looked frightened. They obviously knew what they knew but did not report it. They also asked your Majesty to send someone to detain them separately for interrogation." Yu Qingfeng came up with the lines she had prepared in advance.

They fell to their knees on the ground, everyone trembled and confessed with trembling voices.

"I said, I said, this, this lotus pond is haunted by a ghost, a water ghost! It was the water ghost that took Aunt Sun's life!"

"One after another, one person will drown every three months. It is said that the soul of the previous deceased is looking for a replacement."

"Yes, only by finding the next one can his soul be transcended."

"Aunt Sun must not believe in evil. She came to the lotus pond at night and was killed by a water ghost!"

The palace maid and eunuch were very serious, and in a hurry, their voices were loud, which attracted the attention of the people in the stone pavilion.

Except for Pei Wuyan, the minister of Dali Temple, who remained calm and focused on the chess game, everyone looked eagerly towards this side. Apparently, it was the first time for them to hear about the water ghost in the lotus pond.

Yu Qingfeng secretly complained, and the male protagonist is aloof. It seems that this small-scale online drama is not exempt from the stereotype.

"Be brave, don't speak nonsense, be careful of punishing one of you for confusing the palace!" The prince accused sharply, coughing and looked back at the people in the stone pavilion. Seeing that the masters were not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's true, it's true. In the past year, three people have died, and Aunt Sun is the fourth! Before, it was because Eunuch Zhao from the Ministry of Internal Affairs wouldn't let us say anything, so we...we definitely didn't know anything about it.

Pay it forward!"

Yu Qingfeng remembered it again. In the introduction of the small web drama, it was mentioned that the cases here were all mysterious cases involving the theory of ghosts and gods. No, the first case was a serial case of water ghosts seeking souls in lotus ponds.

.

According to the introduction, this drama is about two male protagonists, a Dali Temple minister and a Dali Temple young minister. The two work together to break superstition and reveal the truth of the case of pretending to be gods and ghosts.

In other words, the world view of this drama is based on realistic themes. There are no ghosts, only ghosts pretending to be gods.

This would be easy to handle, otherwise... the picture was too beautiful, she didn't dare to think about it.

Yu Qingfeng adjusted her state and focused on the current serial murder case.

Top 1 common routines in serial murder cases:

Several deceased people were directly or indirectly responsible for X's death. The real culprit was X's lover, relative or friend. After learning the truth, he decided to avenge X's tragic death.

The real culprit deliberately spread rumors about water ghosts, used the name of water ghosts to cover up the connections between several deceased people, and then concealed the existence of x and his motivation for revenge, creating the illusion that water ghosts harm people indiscriminately.

The key to solving the case: Find the intersections and commonalities between several deceased people, and then find out that x. As long as you know the identity of x, you can know the identity of the real murderer.

"Eunuch Wang, please send someone to invite Eunuch Zhao from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. By the way, ask him to bring the people who are most familiar with the four deceased. Originally I could go by myself, but..." Yu Qingfeng said with her eyes

She pointed in the direction of the stone pavilion. According to the decree over there, she must solve the case on the spot.

When looking at the stone pavilion, Yu Qingfeng's eyes met Pei Wuyan again.

She hurriedly smiled what she thought was the most feminine and sultry smile. She didn't remember that she had just been fished out. At this moment, her hair was still wet and her bun was crooked. It was okay not to wipe her face after changing clothes. After a simple wipe,

, the makeup is like a ghost painting.

Pei Wuyan shrank his neck and his double chin appeared in shock, as if he had witnessed a water ghost laughing in broad daylight, and the chess piece held between two fingers fell off the chessboard.
