The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 144 There are two murderers

No one had touched the body since it was brought in. Even the clothes were the same as before death and were stained with blood. Yao Zhuoyu sighed helplessly.

The deaths of the first few were not bad, but the last two were extremely miserable and their methods were inhumane.

Xu Anan took a step forward, and his eyes first fell on Muxue's gray face, and then fell on the sachet around her waist.

But the sachet was stained with blood, and the original color could no longer be seen. Mixed with blood was a faint scent of osmanthus.

Xu Anan went to Xue Meixiang's side again, and she still had the sachet she wore in the palace that day hanging on her waist.

Xu Anan reached out and took it out, and opened it to find dried osmanthus flowers, which were also stained with blood, covering up the original smell of the flowers.

She came to the third woman again. This one died earlier, more than half a month ago, and her body was already smelly. The most shocking thing was the purple marks on her neck. Her body was still intact and had not been injured. Unnecessary injuries, among the three, she died the most honorably.

Xu Anan picked up her sachet. It contained white jasmine flowers, but it had lost its fragrance over time.

Yao Zhuoyu asked: "Empress, what have you discovered?"

Xu Anan lowered his head and tied the sachet he took off for her.

Xu Anan glanced at him and asked, "What is this woman's name? What does she do at home?"

"Xu Yanyan." Yao Zhuoyu frowned: "She is only 15 years old. She is a common girl who sells tofu at home. She brought the white silk ribbon herself. It looks like she committed suicide."

Xie Changan glanced at them and quickly discovered the problem: "These deceased people were wearing sachets produced by the same company, but judging from the fabrics, the prices should be different."

"Sachet?"

Cheng Qingqiu touched her waist instantly. She raised it and asked, "Is this it?"

Xie Changan reached out and took it. Although the quality was different, the stitching was the same.

"Where did you buy it?"

Cheng Qingqiu blinked: "This is a limited edition that I asked someone to bring. It is produced by Guixiang Pavilion."

This sachet is exclusively made by Guixiang Pavilion, and no one else can imitate this fragrance.

Cheng Qingqiu became nervous instantly: "What does this case have to do with this sachet? Could it be that the murderer is the incense maker? He specifically targets people who wear sachets."

The sachet on her body instantly became like a hot potato, and Cheng Qingqiu didn't dare to wear it anymore.

Only then did Yao Zhuoyu realize that he recalled it carefully, and then his expression changed drastically: "The four who died in the front also seemed to be wearing sachets, but I'm not sure if they are the same style."

Anyone who investigates a case will observe their sachets, and as long as they are girls, they will inevitably have sachets, purses and other personal accessories for decoration, with refreshing herbs or flower petals stuffed inside.

Xu Anan covered the white cloth on their chests, and Fuling hurriedly snatched it away: "Mother, please come and cover them. Don't get your hands dirty."

Yao Zhuoyu was deep in thought. After being prompted by Xu An'an, the fog in front of him seemed to disperse a little. He considered: "Should we go to Guixiang Pavilion first? Could the murderer be the incense maker? How could he kill a woman?" How many other women? And what was her motive for killing? "

"The actor said that the murderer was a young man."

Yao Zhuoyu thought for a moment: "Unless the murderer knows the incense maker."

Xie Changan pointed out the problem: "How can a sachet kill people?" Yes, how can a sachet kill people? But they were wearing it. Even if Guixiangge wanted to harm people, they would not wait for people to investigate them so blatantly. Bar?

The fog that had been cleared suddenly gathered again. This matter seemed to have entered a dead end. Yao Zhuoyu's head hurt thinking about it: "The murderer can't have a grudge against Guixiang Pavilion and deliberately framed them, right?"

Xu Anan looked at Xue Meixiang again. She had a big hole in her stomach and looked very miserable. She pursed her red lips slightly and said, "There is more than one murderer in this murder case, there may be two."

"Two?" Yao Zhuoyu didn't believe it: "My dear, how did you tell that this matter is no joke."

Xu Anan glanced at him and curled her lips slightly: "Who is joking with you? Stop looking down on others."

Yao Zhuoyu: "..."

He actually saw a little bit of disgust in his eyes. Was it his imagination?

Xu Anan pointed to the three corpses: "The killing methods are different."

"The first four people fell to death, drowned, cut their wrists, took poison, and Xu Yanyan hanged herself. The person behind the killing of the five of them used gentle methods to make them die quickly, while Xue Meixiang and Mu Xue were tortured And before you die, you must be unable to live or die."

"Preliminary judgment shows that there are two murderers."

Xie Changan nodded: "Concubine Ming is right, the latter's methods are even more cruel."

This is a question that Yao Zhuoyu has never thought about, but Xu Anan can make a preliminary judgment as soon as he comes or just takes a look.

He was in awe for a moment. It seemed that the emperor sent her here because she had real abilities. Yao Zhuoyu's face felt a little hot for a moment. Fortunately, Xu Anan didn't know that he had slandered her, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.

He coughed lightly: "Then let's start from Guixiang Pavilion first?"

Xu Anan lowered his eyes and looked at Xue Meixiang: "If you can't find anything in Xiang Pavilion, it's a waste of time to go there."

She narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "He Min from Jingzhao Mansion can pay more attention to it."

"He Min?" Yao Zhuoyu was puzzled: "What problem can he have? And he is very active in investigating the case. He hates the murderer more than anyone else."

Cheng Qingqiu was stunned for a moment: "You said he also hates murderers?"

Yao Zhuoyu nodded, then sighed: "You guys don't know. In the murder case of a girl in the north of the city, the first victim was his sister, He Han."

Cheng Qingqiu's face turned pale, and the color on her lips faded a little: "You said his sister is dead?"

"That's not right. Then I saw nothing unusual when he was chatting with us. Moreover, he said that his sister also likes incense. He also decorated a room for his sister. His sister is waiting for him to come home every day."

Yao Zhuoyu was silent. He looked at Xu Yanyan's body: "He may not be able to accept the blow of the death of his sister who has been dependent on him for many years. He still keeps his sister's room. When he was on duty in Jingzhao Mansion, his sister came Yes, he’s only 15 years old.”

"And he didn't lie. He did decorate his sister's room alone."

"I just didn't expect something like this to happen. I thought it was an accident at first. His sister cut her wrists and died in a murderous house in the north of the city. Later, when more and more people died, I realized that this was a deliberate murder, and the person behind it seemed to want to The cause of death is attributed to ghosts and gods."

"I prefer artificiality, and what Mu Ci said makes me even more sure."
