Vol 2 Chapter 9: A major breakthrough in the case

There are a few points to be confirmed.... Mounting and mounting crisply asked: "What is it?"
　　 Huaiqing pursed his lips, watching Xu Qi'an while thinking about what he would find. I also searched carefully in the room, but at this moment, I was confused and didn't get too useful clues and major discoveries.
"First of all, if Concubine Fu is really abused by the prince, she will definitely call for help. Why didn't the servants and the servants of the Qingfeng Temple hear? Let's go downstairs first... You go and call all the servants and servants in the courtyard. ."
　　 The last sentence is for the little boss.
　　 Everyone immediately went downstairs and summoned all the servants and maids of Qingfeng Temple in the yard. There were twelve people in total, including four maids and eight servants.
"You listen carefully, this is Mr. Xu who was ordered to investigate the case. He has the full authority to deal with the murder of Concubine Fu. Mr. Xu has something to ask you now. You must answer all questions and you must not hide it." The little boss said in a deep voice. Tao.
"Yes!"
　　 Everyone bowed their heads in response.
　　 The little boss nodded in satisfaction and looked at Xu Qi'an.
　　 Xu Qi'an locked a delicate court lady and waved: "Come here."
　　 The little palace lady lowered her head, and stepped forward.
　　 "Come here a little bit more."
　　 The little palace lady came to Xu Qi'an, he whispered a few words in his ear, and then said: "Go."
　　 The little palace lady trot into the attic.
　　What is he doing?
　　 The who mounted and supervised was at a loss, while Huaiqing was thoughtful.
　　 Xu Qi'an looked around the other court ladies and the servants, and said: "This official asked you, the concubine Fu had an accident that day, why is there no court lady serving in the attic?"
　　 The maid and the servant stared at each other, a little cringed and afraid to speak.
　　 Xu Qi'an shone sharply, and scolded: "Anyone who conceals and does not report or knows about it will be regarded as a suspect in the murder of Concubine Fu and be sent to the NPC."
　　 A young immediately said: "Back to the lord, we dare not approach the attic."
　　 Dare to approach the attic?
　　 Xu Qian felt that he had discovered Huadian. A man entered the palace of the Fu concubine, but the people in the courtyard were afraid to approach. What does this mean?
　　 shows that there is a grassland on the top of Emperor Yuanjing.
　　 Xu Qi'an secretly looked forward to it.
　　 The little explained: "The Fu concubine loves to drink, and if she drinks too much, she beats and scolds the servants of the Qingfeng Palace at every turn. We are afraid of suffering from unreasonable disasters. Whenever the lady drinks, we stay far away."
　　 "Is this every time?" Xu Qi'an asked.
　　 "Yes, there are no exceptions." The replied.
"When did it start."
　　 Regarding this question, the shook his head for a moment, and said: "The slave has entered the Qingfeng Palace, and this is the case with Concubine Fu."
　　 Bai Zhanji, your qualifications are not good... Xu Qi'an swept the crowd and asked: "Which is the close-knit lady of the Fu concubine."
　　 "It's a slave servant..." An older court lady appeared.
　　 "You come to answer my question just now." Xu Qi'an stared at her.
"This, this..." the old maid said hesitantly: "The previous years have been fine, and her personality has become more and more strange these years. She often stands alone in the attic without knowing it. looking at what.
　　 "When drinking, I like to recite some poems about sadness and sadness..."
　　 She said very vaguely, probably because she did not dare to put her beak on the blessing concubine, nor did she dare to put her beak on the emperor's family affairs. But Xu Qi'an and Huai Qing are both smart people, and they understand the implication.
This is the sorrow of a lonely woman... Alas, Emperor Yuan Jing is not a son of man, and there are so many beauties in the harem, so hot and beautiful. He even went to cultivating the Taoism, and even abstinence... It was me. Never give the chicken a day off. Xu Qi'an sighed and asked:
　　 "On the day of the accident, did anyone hear Fu Fei's call for help?"
　　 Everyone shook their heads.
　　 Xu Qi'an did not make a statement, looked towards the attic, and nodded slightly.
　　 Everyone followed his gaze. On the observatory stood the little palace lady who had just entered the attic. Upon Xu Qi'an's instruction, the little palace lady immediately closed the lattice door at the observation deck, and a faint cry for help came from inside.
　　 At this point, my brain is not too clever to mount, and I understand Xu Qi'an's meaning.
　　 "Asshole, you dare to lie, and the call for help is so clear." Biao Sui said angrily.
　　 The people in the yard were taken aback and quickly defended.
　　 Xu Qi'an pressed his hand and signaled them to stay calm, then turned around and told the little boss: "Bring out the broken guardrail...
　　 Then, he looked at the older court lady and said: "You stay, the others leave."
　　 The old palace lady was a little flustered, her hands agitated uneasy.
　　 "Little father-in-law, you go to the outer courtyard first, call you later, and you will come back." Xu Qi'an originally thought this little would rebuttal, and he planned to take out Huaiqing and Lin'an to oppress others.
　　 As a result, the didn't say anything, and turned away willingly.
　　 "What did you find?"
　　 After waiting for someone to leave, Huaiqing spoke first.
　　The cold and haughty princess has her own reasoning in her heart. Just now, the palace maid called for help in the attic, but she could hear it outside, although it was very weak.
　　 Then there are two possibilities: First, Fu Fei did not call for help at all. Second, Fu Fei was under control.
　　 "How is the prince's cultivation level?" Xu Qi'an asked.
　　 "I have practiced martial arts for several years, and I am very adept at archery and archery." Huai Qing replied.
　　 Oh, it's a weak chicken...Xu Qi'an nodded.
　　 The prince's cultivation base was in the refinement realm, and he didn't even reach it. This is actually understandable. For a prince, the succession of descendants is the top priority. What is personal martial arts? The emperor didn't need to charge into battle.
　　Secondly, whether I can sit back and relax in the face of beauty is also a major test.
　　 Especially the prince, as a prince, with beautiful maidservants around him, I am afraid it is difficult to guard himself as a jade in the impulsive period of his youth.
　　 Xu Qi'an feels that only a person with great perseverance like this can remain single for 19 years.
　　 "Although the prince has a shallow cultivation base, it is easy to use a strong to a weak woman, so the Fu concubine may not have the opportunity to make a call for help at all." Xu Qi'an said.
　　 "My prince brother doesn't do this kind of thing." Biaozhuo immediately retorted, this is her last stubbornness as a sister.
　　 Xu Qi'an didn't respond to the frame, who bulged his round face into a bun, looked at the older court lady with a sneer, and said, "You didn't tell the truth just now, did you?"
　　 A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the palace lady, and she waved her hand: "The words of the slave maid are true, and there is absolutely no lie, please let them know."
　　 "I didn't lie, but I didn't say everything, right." Xu Qi'an patted her thigh with a scabbard:
　　 "The officer has no patience. If you don't say anything, you can go to the prison of the government office and explain it. I don't guarantee what the jailer inside will do to you."
　　 These little palace ladies and eunuchs are thoughtful and timid. Intimidation is the best way.
　　 The lady of the palace bit her lip, her heart turned, and said: "Your Majesty, Master Xu, please come with me."
　　 She turned around and entered the attic, with Xu Qi'an, Huaiqing and Lin'an following behind.
　　 Back to the attic, the maid went straight to the bottom of the bed, pulling a large wooden box laboriously, and taking out a small wooden box from under the old clothes.
　　 The palace lady lowered her head, cowering and offered the wooden box.
　　 Xu Qi'an took it, opened the wooden box, and after seeing the contents clearly, there were two words in his mind: Wuhu!
　　 If Lin'an and Huaiqing were not there, he would blow a flamboyant whistle.
　　 In the wooden box lies an object carved from jade. It is 15 cm long and 4 cm in diameter. He has a naughty head and a slender figure.
　　 Xu Qi'an suddenly understood why the palace lady hesitated and dare not say anything.
　　 This thing is forbidden in the court. It is worse than the little Liu Bei circulating in the female boudoir. Morality is a reason, but the most important thing is that this is the court.
　　Is the emperor shameless?
　　 Once discovered by someone, it will be severely beaten into the cold palace, and lightly will be demoted.
Therefore, Concubine Fu drinks and loses her temper. In addition to complaining about her unbalanced mentality, she also has to be in love with her fake husband...Of course, this kind of thing cannot be seen by the subordinates, except for the close court ladies, everyone else will Was driven out... Fortunately, I drove the little out, or Emperor Yuan Jing had to kill me... Hey, he was actually turned green by the fake stuff, hahahaha.
　　 Xu Qi'an almost couldn't hold back a laugh.
　　 "What is this?" Princess Lin'an frowned.
　　 Xu Qi'an glanced at her, then at Huaiqing, Princess Gao Leng's face was expressionless, she focused on "Jade Ruyi" with confusion in her eyes.
　　 No, right? It's okay if Lin'an is illiterate, and Princess Huaiqing, who is full of poetry and books, doesn't even know him? Didn't you watch the Chun Palace?
　　 Xu Qi'an coughed and explained: "It is the lifeblood of men."
　　 Lin'an "Yeah", he stepped back in horror, his round cheeks were flushed, his neck and ears were red.
　　 Xu Qi Anxin said, is this scared? The humble job has a bigger one.
　　 Princess Huaiqing retracted her gaze like an electric shock, turned her head, and her white face showed two faint blushes.
　　 "Fu, Fu Fei, she...she actually hid this kind of thing privately, no, shameless, hurry up, put it away..." Lin'an stammered.
　　Don't get excited, maybe there is one under your mother's bed... Xu Qi'an closed the box and returned it to the maid, saying: "Take it back, don't dirty the eyes of the two princes."
　　 The maid obediently did it.
　　 Xu Qi'an asked, "When Fu Fei fell down the building, was this thing on the bed or in the box?"
　　 "It should be in the box," said the palace lady.
　　If there is such a thing on the bed, it will not be written in the file... Xu Qi'an nodded and asked: "The missing palace lady, like you, serves the Fu concubine personally?"
　　 The maid nodded.
　　 "Okay, let's go down."
　　 After she went out, Xu Qi'an sat at the table, regretting that "Yu Ruyi" could not be used as a test, while analyzing the two illiterate princesses:
　　 "On the day Fu Fei fell, the servants in the courtyard did not hear the call for help. There are two possibilities: either the prince controlled her; or Fu Fei was willing to have an affair with the prince."
　　 Huaiqing shook his head: "If it is a willing fornication, why are there signs of resistance and struggle in the room?"
　　 You have no experience at first sight...Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "There are still two situations: First, Concubine Fu was unwilling at first, so she resisted, but the prince threatened her in some way.
　　Second, sometimes, men and women do not necessarily have to be in bed. "
　　 The two princesses blushed at the same time and took a sip.
　　 "Why did Concubine Fu fall? You said that she was pushed down." Huaiqing questioned.
　　 "I can't answer this question for the time being," Xu Qi'an analyzed: "On the day of the incident, Concubine Fu drank alcohol, so what she has to do next is to take out "Yu Ruyi" and talk about it.
"If I were the prince, I could use this coercion to achieve a long-term relationship. Fu concubine's body for a long time, maybe half pushed, there is no need to push her downstairs. Even if the prince wakes up from alcohol and wants to kill someone, it shouldn't be finished. After that, because in the time of the sage, men are the most calm, absolutely not impulsive.
　　"There is another doubt. As long as the concubine Fu has to do that and drive away the maid and the servant in the attic, it makes no sense to send the maid close to the prince to invite the prince, unless the two have already had an affair.
　　 "However, according to the investigations of the Sanfa Division and the confessions of the servants and the court ladies in the hospital, the Fu concubine and the prince had no contact."
　　 "That is to say, my prince brother is really wronged." Mounted eyes brightened.
　　 "This possibility is not small, but it hasn't reached a conclusion yet." Xu Qi'an nodded.
　　 Huaiqing asked: "How do you see that the palace lady is hiding something?"
　　 With her beautiful clear eyes, she stared at Xu Qi'an closely. It seems to be asking for advice, but it can't save face.
　　 Learn about micro-expression psychology... Xu Qi'an said: "Human expressions and body movements will reveal the heart to a certain extent. They are more honest than the mouth."
　　 Huaiqing Xiu eyebrows frowned: "This palace has never seen a book that records this kind of knowledge."
　　 "This is my own research."
　　 Huaiqing nodded slowly, some admiration: "You really are a genius for solving crimes."
　　............Actually, the most important thing in solving a case is not talent, but experience and knowledge. Without these things, even if you are a reasoning genius, you will not be able to reach the threshold. Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is absurd."
　　 At this time, the little head guard shouted downstairs: "Master Xu, I brought things here."
　　 Xu Qi'an immediately got up and said: "I want to verify one of my conjectures. Perhaps we will see how Fu Fei died."
　　 The three people came downstairs, Xu Qi'an took the broken guardrail in the guard's hand, carefully checked the fracture, and repeatedly checked.
　　 He was lost in thought.
　　 The red skirt and the white skirt are tacitly undisturbed.
　　 Although a pair of small feet under the framed skirt kept stomping on, it showed anxiety.
　　 Because Xu Qi'an said just now, the death of Concubine Fu will soon be resolved. It was about the innocence of the prince's brother, she was very anxious.
　　 But still dare not interrupt his thinking.
　　 "Let's go to the ice cellar. Please trouble the eldest princess to invite a grandma." Xu Qi'an led everyone out of the Qingfeng Temple, and Huaiqing ordered the guards outside the hall to invite the grandma.
　　 came to the ice cellar, leaving the guards, Xu Qi'an, Huaiqing, Lin'an, and the supervising and old maternal grandmother. The five people entered the ice cellar and saw the body of Fu concubine again.
　　 "Thanks to my mother, I remove the clothes from Concubine Fu and turn her over." Xu Qi'an said.
　　The old lady hesitated a bit, but seeing Xu Qi'an turning around instinctively, she looked at Princess Huaiqing with questioning eyes instead of Lin'an.
　　 Huaiqing nodded and said, "Do as Mr. Xu said."
　　 A few minutes later, the mother said: "The old slave is done."
　　 Xu Qi'an turned around, Fu Fei was naked, lying on the board, her pale back was covered with corpses, but there was nothing Xu Qi'an wanted to see.
　　 "It's fine." He nodded.
　　 Leaving the ice cellar and coming to the Pian Ting, Lin'an couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? How did Concubine Fu die? My prince brother is innocent."
　　 Xu Qi'an glanced at the supervising eunuch, then scanned the two princesses, and said in a deep voice: "Fu Fei should have fallen into the attic by herself."
　　 "Why do you see it?" Huaiqing raised his eyebrows.
　　 This result surprised everyone.
　　"The guardrail of the attic of the Qingfeng Temple is not decayed, and very strong. If Concubine Fu was pushed down by someone, her body would break the guardrail, and her back would definitely be bruised.
　　 "But after the inspection just now, Fu Fei did not have long bruises on her back. Only the corpse spots and massive bruises caused by falling from the building." Xu Qi'an said.
　　 Huaiqing groaned: "But she did break the guardrail and died... You mean, someone made a trick on the guardrail?"
Xu Qi'an nodded: "Besides, Concubine Fu drank wine after falling from the building. The maid of Qingfeng Palace said that she often watched the scenery from the observation deck... I guess she was watching whether her majesty would come, of course. These are not important.
　　"The important thing is that when people drink alcohol, they will instinctively lie down or lean on the guardrail. Fu Fei fell on her back, so she should be leaning on the guardrail at that time, but the guardrail was manipulated and fell to her death.
"I just asked, Yu Ruyi was not taken out when the incident happened. That is to say, Concubine Fu immediately used Yu Ruyi on the same day... Well, you know. So, it is possible that she will stand on the observation deck. The is very high.
　　 "During the post-mortem examination, statements that were not violated can also be used as evidence. The ladies of the Qingfeng Temple did not hear the call for help, because Concubine Fu was not raped at all, so naturally there is no need to call for help."
　　 Huaiqing and Lin'an suddenly realized that the latter was sincerely delighted, because the suspicion of the prince was suddenly lessened.
　　 The former is lost in thought, chewing and recalling Xu Qi'an's analysis, just like a student who digests the content of the teacher's lecture.
　　 The little in charge of supervision bowed his head and tried his best to silently write down every sentence of Xu Qi'an, and report to his godfather later.
　　 Hearing this, the old lady interrupted and said: "This lord, the one who examined Fu concubine is also an old slave, not a masterpiece."
　　 "Oh, it turned out to be the mother. That's right, the officer still has some details to ask."
　　He took the old mother aside and said in a low voice: "Mother, your standard for judging whether there has been is based on the shipment of men or..."
　　 He asked the doubts in a low voice.
　　The old mother said in a low voice: "The silk is tight."
　　 "Oh oh, then the officer will understand." Xu Qi'an said in a heart that this maid is even better than me.
　　 In this way, it is even more certain that Fu Fei was not defiled, but really died of an accident, which was carefully arranged by someone.
　　 Since it wasn't a surprise, then the suspicion of the prince was very light.
　　 After getting the confirmed answer, Xu Qi'an said: "The one who can do this should be the close-knit lady."
　　 Of course, the palace maid would not kill the concubine for no reason or frame the prince. This is a question that can be understood by mounting.
　　 "Who is the man who instigated the palace lady?" Biaozhuo glanced at Huaiqing, his eyes filled with distrust.
　　 Huaiqing gave a sneer, and immediately shrank behind Xu Qi'an.
　　 She was too lazy to be familiar with Lin'an, frowning and said: "Then how to explain the messy traces in the room?
　　 "Before Concubine Fu fell, the maid could not deliberately mess up the room in front of her. After Concubine Fu fell, she immediately attracted the attention of Her Royal Highness Qingfeng."
　　 "Maybe Fu Fei has a bad temper and messed up the room. It may also be that there is a problem with the drink, such as hallucinations." Xu Qi'an explained.
　　 It is a pity that Fu Fei can not be dissected, so this speculation cannot be confirmed.
　　 "Let's stop here for today, I want to go back and consider and sort out the case." Xu Qi'an said.
　　 He cannot say that he is passive and sabotaged.
　　 sent Princess Lin'an back to Shaoyinyuan. Seeing Princess Huaiqing waiting outside, Xu Qian walked over tacitly.
　　 The two walked forward in silence, but the guard did not follow, and fell behind.
　　 "Unexpectedly, as soon as you take action, Fu Fei's case will immediately have a breakthrough." Princess Huaiqing praised.
　　 "This case is actually not difficult, at least it is not difficult to prove that the prince is innocent." Xu Qi'an finished, after a few seconds, said:
　　 "The Three Laws Division seems to be in no hurry to prove the prince's innocence."
　　 Xu Qi'an has always felt that the reasoning knowledge and criminal investigation methods of this era are backward, but it cannot be denied that there are still many talents in the Three Laws Department.
　　 The Fu Fei case is not as detailed as the tax and silver case, nor is it as treacherous as the Sangbo case, nor is it brain-burning like the Yunzhou case. There is not much practice in it.
　　 It is a bit difficult to prove that the prince is innocent, but it is not impossible.
　　Princess Huaiqing stared ahead, was silent for ten seconds, and said lightly: "There are nothing more than two possibilities in this matter: one, the culprit is the prince. Second, the prince is being blamed."
　　 Xu Qi'an let out a "um".
"If the prince is the real murderer, then he will be abolished. As soon as the Jingchao is over, we will usher in a national dispute. Whether it is the father of the emperor or the Manchu dynasty, he would not like this to happen. Moreover, he will be deposed The prince was jealous and made enemies in vain.
　　 "If the prince is being framed, then, in the harem, who has the ability, who would dare to frame the culprit? Sanfasi is even more reluctant to offend. In the final analysis, this is still the family affair of the father."
　　 Xu Qi'an replied straightforwardly: "All the princes who can inherit the position of the East Palace are possible."
　　 Huaiqing said: "But the most suspected ones are my brother and my mother."
　　 Because the fourth prince is the eldest son, the first heir.
　　 "Suspects are suspicions, as long as there is no evidence, even your majesty can't do anything." Xu Qi'an said.
　　 It is inevitable to have suspicion. There is a prince who died in the palace, and all the favored concubines are suspected. UU reading www. uukanshu.com But as long as the evidence is destroyed, no matter how big the suspicion is, what can be done.
　　 Gong Fight is actually very simple and rude. It is impossible for every concubine in the harem to be Zhuge Liang with far-reaching layout and scheming.
　　 Huaiqing nodded slowly.
　　 "There is one thing I don't understand. The fourth prince is the eldest son. Why did your majesty appointed Lin'an's brother as the prince?"
　　 When Xu Qi'an asked this question, his eyes were fixed on Huaiqing. If she had an expression of boredom and resistance, then it means that her act of stepping on two boats made her feel grieved, and she should not be careful of herself.
　　 Huaiqing pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No one can guess the mind of the emperor, but I had an occasional chance and heard some rumors..."
　　 Xu Qi'an interrupted hurriedly, "His humble duty, I want to live until my children and grandchildren are full, and my life will end."
　　 Rarely, Huaiqing smiled, "It's not a secret, it doesn't hurt to hear it."
　　 After a pause, she continued: "The palace said that the prince is the prince because Concubine Chen dominated the harem when he was young, and the father made an exception and made the eldest son the prince.
"But the emperor once complained to me in private. When he was young, the emperor treated him very well, and often instilled him as the emperor. But what about it... Just ask, if you have no intention of making the emperor brother the prince, the emperor father How can you say this again?"
　　 Xu Qi'an turned around, waved to the guard in the distance, and then walked away from Huaiqing for a distance. It was difficult to conceal the gossip, and he rubbed his hands and asked:
　　 "Then why was the eldest son born in the end?"
　　...
