Dali Temple.

Gu Wanqing and Tao Mingrui sat opposite each other in front of the desk, and the desk was filled with papers filled with various handwritings.

"The market said that I saw Qin Xixue wearing a coarse linen, holding a bag in her hand, throwing the bag into the grocery stall where pig bones were placed. And, in the backyard of Huaye Building, I found saws and knives, all buried in the ground."

Tao Mingrui talked about the evidence found these days.

This is already a major breakthrough in the low investigation case.

"In the land of jasmine?" Gu Wanqing asked.

Last time she was a little concerned about the jasmine flowers in the backyard.

Tao Mingrui shook his head, flipped through a few pages, and pointed to the detailed report above, "No, it's directly below Qin Xixue's bedroom. The pit was newly dug. In addition, he checked the surrounding medicine shops with Qin Xixue's portrait. There was a small shop at the entrance of Beijie. She bought five portions of arsenic. Because arsenic can be used as poison, the boss made a special mark. The only five portions of the store were sold to her. The boss was very impressed by her."

The witness's confession was written very clearly. There were also records of arsenic purchase and sales on the day three months ago.

Gu Wanqing flipped through the testimony and nodded, "I am pretty and have a deep impression of nature."

Basically, Qin Xixue's appearance is a man who will never forget it after a glance. In this regard, it is also a place where they are more convenient for investigating cases.

"The boss said that she was dressing very ordinary at that time, not like a rich lady, but like a maid. She should have dressed up deliberately." Tao Mingrui added.

But this is not surprising. Of course, you cannot be high-profile when buying arsenic.

Gu Wanqing said: "The newly discovered corpses also said that the coroner seemed to be poisoned again. If you reason in this way, the murderer should be Qin Xixue. She did lie before."

[Biqudao    www.biqudao.xyz] "Well, I first bought arsenic and poisoned others in the wine and dishes, and then used tools to kill people in the room and dismembered the bodies, and then threw them out of the window. Every time I took advantage of the excuse of going out to buy rouge, I transported the bodies out of the calyx building bit by bit and discarded separately."

"Yes, judging from the motivation and time of committing the crime, she is the only one."

Gu Wanqing turned her brush and listened to it, there was still some unclear things.

But after all, she is not a professional, and no matter how profound the problem is, it cannot be solved.

This is probably the case to investigate, and then proof it first. As long as Qin Xixue's direction is correct, the evidence will surface little by little.

Tao Mingrui said: "There is another strange thing. I asked the people up and down Hua'e, and almost no one had seen Qin Xixue's sister."

"Who says that you have seen it?"

"The male prostitute, Xinyue, and two brothels. Only these three people said with great certainty that they had seen Qin Xixue's sister. The possibility of Qin Xixue lying cannot be ruled out."

From a woman's perspective, Gu Wanqing couldn't agree, and couldn't understand why she was lying and had a sister.

"From her last expression, she probably didn't lie about her sister's affairs. It's just that it's very strange, very strange."

That feeling of incongruity came again.

Gu Wanqing patted her forehead, what exactly is the problem?

"General, do we still need to go to Huacao Building?" Tao Mingrui suggested.

"I……"

She naturally wanted to go and have a look.

But she hesitated for a moment and closed her mouth. Thinking about what Bai Jue said to her yesterday.

"...General?" Tao Mingrui patted Gu Wanqing who was inexplicably distracted.

Gu Wanqing came back to her senses, "Oh... I won't go. I will follow up on this case here. From tomorrow, I will trouble Lord Tao to worry more. The rest can be reported directly to Bai Jue."

Tao Mingrui suddenly realized and smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Bai, who saw that General Bai has worked so hard these days, let the general rest?"

"It has nothing to do with him." Gu Wanqing's face was expressionless and even frowned.

Tao Mingrui noticed that her mood seemed to have changed, "The general and Mr. Bai have a quarrel?"

"No." She replied coldly.

Tao Mingrui shrugged, but couldn't figure out the relationship between the two, and said, "But this case may have to be delayed until after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. The ghost dance in this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was arranged by the courtesan Qin Xixue. If something went wrong at this time, the sacrifice might not be held smoothly, and the emperor would be furious at that time."

Bai Jue also said what he said.

Everyone who lives in Yan'an City naturally regards the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven as more important than anything else.

Even if something big happens, it cannot affect the holding of the ceremony of worshiping the heavens.

Gu Wanqing said: "But this is also very risky. If it is finally confirmed that Qin Xixue is the murderer who killed three officials, she also participated in the dance of the sacrificial ceremony, the emperor would definitely be furious when he knew about this."

Tao Mingrui analyzed: "At present, the envoys of Yunfan Kingdom have moved into Yan'an City. Even if they attacked later, it would be better than becoming a laughing stock now - a prostitute and a courtier killed three court officials in the brothel, which is enough to show that the chaos in Nanyan's officialdom is really embarrassing." Tao Mingrui analyzed.

Gu Wanqing thought about it, it was a shame to look at it from a distance.

Even if the truth is revealed in the end, it will probably only be executed secretly and will not make the scandal public.

Therefore, one thing that is highly anticipated now is naturally the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

...

Five days before the ceremony of worshiping heaven.

Yan'an City seemed to have a layer of gold and silver powder falling from the sky, which was particularly gorgeous.

On the day when the king and queen of Yunfan Kingdom arrived, the emperor personally greeted him at the palace gate and held a banquet to show his friendship between the two places.

Not only the King Yunban and the Queen, but also brought the prince of Yunban Kingdom during this trip.

This prince came to Nanyan with King Yunban and Queen. He heard that he looked handsome and gentle, and was somewhat similar to the second prince of Nanyan's extraordinary charm.

At the banquet, everyone talked happily, intending to compare the talents of the princes of the two countries.

However, Prince Rong He's performance was not satisfactory, and the emperor was a little angry.

Whether it is poetry, chess, or conversation and demeanor, the second prince Rong Jin is naturally better.

In the Yahui competition, the second prince defeated the prince of Yunban for three consecutive games, and was praised as the Dragon among the People.

Concubine Zhang was also very glorious during the meal, which made King Yunban and Queen mistakenly believe that they had signed the new queen.

The emperor just smiled and said: Concubine Zhang is enough to take on the important task of the lord of the harem.

In short, this welcome banquet made the second prince and Concubine Zhang show their attention.

The Prince, who had no talent, was always ecstatic frequently. Bai Ling mentioned it many times, but still failed to make him perform well.
