Nightwatcher Chapter 9: A major breakthrough in the case

There are a few points to be confirmed....The fragile question: "What is it?"

　　Huaiqing pursed his lips, watching Xu Qi'an while thinking about what he might find. I also searched carefully in the room, but at this moment, I was confused and didn't get too useful clues or major discoveries.

　　"First of all, if Concubine Fu is really insulted by the prince, she will definitely call for help. Why didn’t the servants and the maids of the Qingfeng Temple hear? Let’s go downstairs first.... You go and call all in the courtyard Maids and errands."

　　The last sentence was addressed to the little boss.

　　 Everyone immediately went downstairs and gathered all the servants and court ladies of Qingfeng Temple in the courtyard. There were twelve in total, including four court ladies and eight servants.

　　 "You listen carefully, this is Mr. Xu who was ordered to investigate the case. He has full authority to handle 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 boss said solemnly.

　　 "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 in small fragments.

　　 "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: "The 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 looked at each other, a little cowering and afraid to speak.

　　 Xu Qi'an shone sharply and scolded: "Anyone who conceals but does not report or knows not to report is regarded as a suspect in the murder of Fu Fei and is sent to the National People's Congress."

　　A young **** immediately said: "Back to the adults, we dare not approach the attic."

　　 Dare to approach the attic?

　　 Xu Qi'an felt that he had discovered Huadian. A man entered the Fu concubine’s palace, but the people in the courtyard did not dare to approach. What does this mean?

　　 shows that there is a grassland on the top of Emperor Yuan Jing.

　　 Xu Qi'an secretly looked forward to it.

The **** 　　 explained: "The Fu concubine loves to drink, and if she drank too much, she would beat and scold the servants of the Qingfeng Palace at will. We were afraid of suffering innocent disasters. Whenever the lady drinks, we will stay far away."

　　"Does it happen 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 the Concubine Fu."

　　 Bai Zhanji, your qualifications are not good... Xu Qi'an swept across the crowd and asked: "Which is the personal court lady of the Fu concubine?"

　　 "It's a slave..." An older court lady appeared.

　　 "You will answer the officer's question just now." Xu Qi'an stared at her.

　　 "This, this..." the old lady of the palace said hesitantly: "The past few years have been okay. In these years, the lady's personality is getting more and more strange. She often stands alone in the attic. I don’t know what I’m looking at.

　　"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 on the family affairs of the emperor. 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. There are so many beauties in the harem, so hot and beautiful. He went to the cultivator and even abstinence... Cheng is that I will never give the chicken a day off. Xu Qi'an sighed and asked again:

　　"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 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 smart to mount, and I understand what Xu Qi'an means.

　　 "Asshole, you dare to lie, and the call for help is so clear." Biaojiao said angrily.

　　 The people in the yard were shocked and quickly defended.

　　 Xu Qi'an pressed his hand and signaled them to be safe, then turned around and told the little boss: "Bring out the broken guardrail...

　　 Then, he looked at the elder palace lady and said: "You stay, the others retreat."

　　 The old palace lady was a little panicked, her hands churning 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 bring out Huaiqing and Lin'an to oppress others. .

　　 As a result, the little **** said nothing, 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 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 about the prince's cultivation?" Xu Qi'an asked.

　　 "I have practiced martial arts for several years, and I am very adept at bow and horse riding and shooting." Huai Qing replied.

　　 Oh, it's a weak chicken...Xu Qi'an nodded.

　　 The prince’s cultivation base was in the refinement stage, 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, it is also a major test whether one can sit back and relax in the face of beauty.

　　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 level, it is easy to use a strong against 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 steamed bun, looked at the older court lady with a sneer, and said: "You didn’t tell the truth just now?"

　　 A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the maid, and she waved her hand and said: "The words of the slave maid are true, and there is absolutely no lying, 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 guardian 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 slammed, and said: "Your Majesty, Master Xu, please come with me."

　　 She turned and entered the attic, with Xu Qi'an, Huaiqing and Lin'an following behind.

　　 Returning 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 maid 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.

　　Emperor doesn’t want face?

When 　　 is found, it will be severely beaten into the cold palace, and lightly will be demoted.

　　 Therefore, Concubine Fu drank and lost her temper. In addition to complaining about her unbalanced mentality, she also wanted 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. The rest will be driven out...Fortunately, I drove out the little eunuch, or Emperor Yuan Jing would have to kill me...Puff, 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", her eyes were confused.

　　 isn't it? It's okay for Lin'an to be illiterate. Princess Huaiqing, who is full of poetry and books, doesn't even know it? 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, and his neck and ears were red.

　　 Xu Qi Anxin said, is this scared? The humble job has a bigger one.

　　Princess Huaiqing retracted her eyes like an electric shock, turned her head, and her white face showed a slight blush.

　　 "Fu, Fei Fu, 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 handed it back to the maid, saying: "Take it back, don’t dirty the eyes of the two princes."

　　 The court lady obeyed.

　　 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," the court lady said.

　　If there is this thing on the bed, it will not be written in the file... Xu Qi'an nodded and asked: "The missing palace lady, just 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 he couldn’t use "Yu Ruyi" as a test, while analyzing the two illiterate princesses:

　　"On the day Fu Fei fell, the people 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...Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "There are still two situations: First, the concubine Fu was unwilling at first, so she resisted, but the prince intimidated 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, Fu Fei 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 of it, there is no need to push her downstairs. Even if the prince is drunk and wants to kill her, it will not It should be after the event, because in the time of the sage, men are the most calm, absolutely not impulsive.

　　"There is another doubt. Since Concubine Fu has to do that and drive away the maid and the servant in the attic, it makes no sense to send a close maid to invite the prince, unless the two have already had an affair.

　　"But according to the investigation of the Three Laws Division and the confessions of the servants and the maids in the hospital, the concubine Fu has no contact with the prince."

　　 "In other words, my prince brother was 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.

　　Understand the psychology of micro-expression...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 show eyebrows frowned: "I have 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 can't reach the threshold. Xu Qi'an smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is absurdly praised."

　　At this time, the little head guard shouted downstairs: "Master Xu, I brought things here."

　　 Xu Qi'an immediately got up and said: "Now I want to verify one of my conjectures. Maybe I will see how the Fu concubine died."

　　 The three 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 the pair of small feet under the mounted skirt kept stepping 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.

　　"Go, 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 and left 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.

　　 Grandma 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 wooden board, her pale back was covered with corpses, but there was nothing Xu Qi'an wanted to see.

　　 "Sure." He nodded.

　　 left the ice cellar and came to the Pian Ting, Lin'an couldn't wait to ask: "How? How did Fu Fei 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."

　　 "How can you see it?" Huaiqing raised his eyebrows.

　　This result surprised everyone.

　　"The guardrail of the attic of Qingfeng Temple is not decayed and very strong. If Concubine Fu was pushed down by someone, her body would break the guardrail at the same time her back must be bruised.

　　 "But I just checked, there is no long bruise on Fu Fei's back. Only corpse spots and massive bruises from 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 downstairs. The maid of Qingfeng Palace said that she often watched the scenery from the observation deck... I guess she was watching your majesty. Come on, 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 have been leaning on the guardrail at the time, but the guardrail was manipulated, so she fell. Died.

　　" I asked just now, Yu Ruyi was not taken out when the incident happened. In other words, Concubine Fu immediately used Yu Ruyi on the same day... Well, you know. So, she would stand watching The possibility of the station is very high.

　　"When the post-mortem was performed, the statements that were not violated can also serve as evidence. The ladies of the Qingfeng Temple did not hear the call for help, because the 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 is digesting the content of the teacher's lecture.

　　The little **** in charge of supervision lowered his head and tried his best to silently write down every word of Xu Qi'an, and report to his godfather later.

　　 Hearing this, the old mother 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 maternal. That's right, I still have some details to ask."

　　He took the old mother aside and said in a low voice: "Mother, your standard for judging whether or not you have been raped is based on the shipment of men or..."

　　 He asked his doubts in a low voice.

　　The old mother whispered: "The silk is tight."

　　 "Oh oh, then the officer will understand." Xu Qi'an said with a heart, this maid is even better than me.

　　 In this way, it is even more certain that the Concubine Fu was not defiled, but really died of an accident, an accident carefully arranged.

　　Since it was not a surprise, 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 maid would not kill the concubine Fu and frame the prince for no reason. This is a question that can be understood by mounting and mounting.

　　"Who is the man who instigated the palace lady?" Biaobi glanced at Huaiqing, his eyes filled with distrust.

　　 Huaiqing sneered, and the mounting 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 His Royal Highness Qingfeng."

　　 "Maybe Fu Fei has a very 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.

　　 Unfortunately, the concubine could 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 can't say that he is passive.

　　 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 took action, Fu Fei's case immediately made 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 speaking, 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.

　　 I want to prove the prince’s innocence, which is a bit difficult, but it is not impossible.

　　Princess Huaiqing looked ahead and was silent for more than ten seconds, and said lightly: "This matter is nothing more than two possibilities: First, the culprit is the prince. Second, the prince is being blamed."

　　 Xu Qi'an gave a "um".

　　"If the prince is the real murderer, then he will be deposed. As soon as the Jingchao is over, it will usher in a national dispute. Whether it is the father of the emperor or the Manchu dynasty, it is unwilling to happen. Moreover, You will also be hated by the prince’s party and make enemies in peace.

　　"If the prince is being blamed, then, in the harem, who has the ability, who would dare to blame the prince? Sanfasi is even more reluctant to offend. In the final analysis, this is the family affair of the father."

　　 Xu Qi'an answered straightforwardly: "All the princes who can inherit the position of the Eastern 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.

　　 Suspicion is inevitable. There is a prince who died in the palace, and those favored concubines are suspected ~ IndoMTL.com~ But as long as the evidence is destroyed, no matter how big the suspicion is, what can be done.

　　 Gongdou 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 Huai Qing. If she has an expression of boredom and resistance, then it means that her act of stepping on two boats has made her feel grieved, and she should not take herself seriously.

　　 Huaiqing pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No one can guess what the emperor father thought, but I had an occasional chance and heard some rumors..."

　　 Xu Qi'an interrupted hurriedly, "Your Highness, I want to live my humble job until my children and grandchildren are full, and my life will end."

　　 rare, Huaiqing smiled, "It's not a secret, it doesn't hurt to hear it."

　　 paused, and she continued: "The palace said that the prince is the prince, because Chen Guifei 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 father and 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 the prince , How can the father say this?"

　　 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 hide the gossip and asked:

　　"Then why did the eldest son be born in the end."

　　.......
