Chapter 141 The clue is broken?

Ji Tianci's questions were like a series of cannonballs, not giving Qin Muyang a chance to breathe.

Qin Muyang quickly explained.

"Your Highness, when I was inspecting Miss Huang's family in Huangfu that day, I smelled a very faint scent of jasmine."

"Very weird!"

"What's so weird about this?" After hearing what Qin Muyang said, Ji Tianci was at a loss.

"Perhaps, Miss Huang just likes to use jasmine-scented face powder."

Qin Muyang shook his head, with an inexplicable expression in his eyes, like an old driver.

"Your Highness, you know that I know countless women, and I know the fragrance powder used by women like the back of my hand."

"The fragrance powder left on Miss Huang's body is different from any fragrance powder on the market."

"The faint jasmine fragrance is specially prepared by the powder owner according to his own preferences."

Qin Muyang said with confidence.

In terms of investigation, he is not as good as Ji Tianci.

In terms of status, he is not as good as Ji Tianci.

In terms of talent, it is far beyond comparison.

But when it comes to understanding women, no one in the entire imperial capital can compare to him.

It's not that he is bragging, he has smelled women's body fragrances, there are eight hundred if not one thousand.

"So, you know the owner of that powdery smell?" Ji Tianci suddenly understood.

Because on Miss Huang's body, she smelled a scent that did not belong to her.

Therefore, the scent of jasmine-scented powder must have been left by the murderer.

No wonder he and Chu Yijun couldn't find anything, but Qin Muyang found the clue.

I'm afraid that only an old driver like him in the entire imperial capital can distinguish the subtle differences in fragrance and flavor.

"Your Highness is wise, you can see through my little thoughts at a glance!" Qin Muyang said flatteringly.

"The fragrance of jasmine left on Miss Huang's body, I once smelled it on Siqin, the oiran of Baihua Pavilion."

"So you went to Baihua Pavilion and asked Siqin."

Ji Tianci thought of Si Qin's testimony and linked them together in an instant.

"That's right, that's it!"

"Then why did you disappear?"

Qin Muyang cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

"I asked Miss Siqin, but Miss Siqin said that she had never been to Huangfu."

"I've felt Miss Siqin. She really doesn't have a high level of cultivation. It's really impossible for her to sneak into the Huang's mansion and kill Miss Huang's family."

"So I thought, maybe the murderer had been in contact with Miss Siqin, and accidentally got contaminated with Miss Siqin's fragrance."

"Following this clue, I will continue to investigate."

"Afraid of alarming the murderer, I did not notify anyone and investigated secretly."

"It turned out that I didn't expect that when the old slave in the firewood house of Baihua Pavilion was investigated, he was directly knocked out."

Ji Tianci's pupils shrank suddenly, and a gleam of light burst out from his eyes.

The truth came out.

It turned out that the murderer was an old slave in the firewood house of Baihua Pavilion.

Ji Tianci quickly ordered Chu Yijun to arrest the old slave in the firewood house of Baihua Pavilion.

However, in his heart, Ji Tianci didn't have any hope.

Only the old slave of the firewood house is not a fool, he must have escaped long ago, and it is impossible to stay in the Baihua Pavilion.

"Mu Yang, don't be so impulsive and reckless when you act in the future."

"If something happens to you, how can I explain it to my uncle?" Ji Tianci said in a serious tone.

Qin Muyang touched the back of his head, he was also afraid.

If Ji Tianci hadn't arrived in time, he might have turned into a corpse.

Moreover, because of his disappearance, he was blamed by the flower pickers.

It is really a strange injustice through the ages!

He wants to play with women, but also needs to pick flowers?

With his identity, hooking his fingers, he doesn't know how many women are willing to crawl onto his bed for him to play with.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will investigate the case in the future, and I will definitely not act without authorization." Qin Muyang admitted his mistake sincerely.

He understood the cause and effect of Qin Muyang's disappearance, but Ji Tianci still had doubts in his mind.

"Why did the victim's life end up in that note in the dossier?" Ji Tianci continued to ask.

Qin Muyang did not hide anything, and his tone was orderly.

"Xiao He'er is a remnant of the Guangling tragedy, and later joined the Hall of Bones."

"I'm wondering if there are other remnants of the Guangling tragedy that have also joined the Hall of Bones?"

"So, I went to check the files of the Guangling tragedy, hoping to find clues."

Hearing that Qin Muyang was investigating the Hall of Bones, Ji Tianci also became interested.

"So did you find a clue?"

Qin Muyang shook his head in disappointment.

"No leads!"

"What's with the list on the note?" Ji Tianci asked.

"I haven't found the remnants of the Guangling tragedy."

"So, I want to investigate from a different angle, starting with the officials who quelled the Guangling tragedy."

"When His Majesty entered Guangling alone, many officials took refuge in His Majesty, and made great contributions in the subsequent quelling of chaos, and thus made great achievements."

"For example, Wei Weiqing, who is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army, was the third-in-command county lieutenant in Guangling County."

"After the Guangling Rebellion was quelled, he was promoted to the imperial capital. Later, with His Majesty's registration, he was reused, and now he is one of the nine ministers."

"Some are good at it like Wei Weiqing, and some are not good at it."

"Among the officials who quelled the Guangling Rebellion, many were moved by political opponents, their families were ruined, and their female relatives were filled into Jiaofangsi. Later, those female relatives were bought by other brothels in the imperial capital."

"The green pearl of Xueyue Tower, the clear autumn of Fengyu Pavilion, the emerald green and condensed beauty of Tianxiang Tower, the piano player of Baihua Pavilion..."

"They are the ones I found."

Qin Muyang confessed everything, allowing Ji Tianci to understand the origin of the names on the note.

At the same time, Ji Tianci also woke up suddenly.

Huang Ping of Honglu Temple also made his fortune by quelling the Guangling Rebellion.

In other words, the murderer was planning to take revenge on the officials who participated in quelling the Guangling Rebellion.

At this moment, Chu Yijun came back to report.

The old slave in the firewood house had disappeared three days ago.

Everything was as Ji Tianci expected.

"Your Highness, the clues are all messed up now, how should we track it down?" Qin Muyang said depressingly.

He was very remorseful.

If there was regret medicine to take, he would definitely not choose to go to the Baihua Pavilion alone, only to be captured by gangsters.

If it was that day, he would have brought the masters of the Xuanjing Division with him, he might have arrested the old slave of the firewood room and solved the case.

On the corner of Ji Tianci's mouth, there was a faint arc.

Seeing this confident look made Chu Yijun dizzy.

Ji Tianci took a sip of the tea, and said calmly.

"Who said it was the first to stop?"

"Look, on the contrary, I thought that the clues were not only unbroken, but also very clear."

Qin Muyang and Chu Yijun looked at Ji Tianci blankly.

Where are the clues?
How did they not see it?

"Your Highness, where are the clues?" Qin Muyang anxiously scratched his head and ears, wishing to know the truth immediately.

Ji Tianci spoke slowly.

"The clue lies in Huang Ping."
