Feng Qingchen raised her eyebrows, turned her head, and said, "What's going on?"

"When my subordinate was eating, my servant came to tell me that a female corpse was found in the lake. After checking it, my subordinate came to report to the prince." Chu Han replied calmly.

Feng Qingchen frowned, then turned back to look at Shen Yunxi, before she could speak, Shen Yunxi said sarcastically: "Won't your lord think that this murder case is also related to Yunxi?"

Feng Qingchen snorted softly, and parted her thin lips lightly, "Don't be thorny when you say anything, go and have a look with me first."

Then, Shen Yunxi followed Feng Qingchen to the scene of the incident.However, the more the past happened, the more familiar Shen Yunxi felt.

When she saw the rockery by the lake, Shen Yunxi finally remembered that this was the place where she met Yuan Xiang and the others last night.

The wind in the early autumn brought some coolness, and the willow trees fluttered in the wind with cool green, reflecting in the lake water, the water was shimmering, and the scenery was beautiful.

Beside a willow tree closest to the rockery, there were about a dozen servants standing at this time. From their drenched clothes, it can be seen that they had just entered the water to salvage the corpse.Seeing Feng Qingchen approaching, he stood on both sides, lowered his head slightly, and called out respectfully: "My lord."

Feng Qingchen walked over, glanced down at the wet maid who was dying under the willow tree, raised her head and asked Chu Han coldly: "Which palace is she from?"

"Her name is Ning Meng, and she is the maidservant of Miss Yudie in Yingyue Pavilion." Chu Han replied, taking a step forward.

Feng Qingchen pursed her lips, as if thinking about something, then asked: "What's so strange about her death?"

"The specific situation has not been checked yet." Chu Han turned his head to look at Ning Meng, thought for a while, and continued: "However, a few days ago, my subordinate accidentally learned from other maids that Ning Meng When Meng went back to her hometown to visit her relatives, she was almost insulted by her stepfather and had the idea of ​​committing suicide, I don't know if her death is related to this matter?"

Feng Qingchen nodded lightly, and said in a deep voice: "You should investigate this matter as soon as possible. If it is confirmed that it is related to her stepfather, then let him be an eunuch in the next life. As for her other family members, try to appease them as much as possible."

"Yes, my lord. This subordinate should deal with this matter as soon as possible."

As soon as Chu Han's commanding words fell, Shen Yunxi's steady voice sounded beside him: "Housekeeper Chu, don't bother. I can tell you right away whether she committed suicide or committed suicide."

Hearing her words, Feng Qingchen stopped, and looked back at Shen Yunxi who was squatting next to Ning Meng's corpse and raised his head slightly to look at them, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

When Feng Qingchen turned her head, Shen Yunxi was putting down Ning Meng's feet, her hands were covered with cloth, and she took off the shoes and socks on Ning Meng's feet at some point.

Chu Han turned around, and seeing this, his eyes were also full of surprise, and the corner of his mouth raised a curve, and he slightly blessed her, saying: "I also ask the princess to advise."

Shen Yunxi smiled lightly, then looked away, raised his eyes, and asked the drenched servants standing aside: "When you salvaged Ning Meng, did you notice that her stomach was swollen? Did you use your hands?" Press her belly?"

Everyone shook their heads: "No." But they didn't understand why she asked this question.

Shen Yunxi nodded, took their questions into consideration, and then said to Feng Qingchen and Chu Han, "If I haven't read it, Ning Mengshi must have committed suicide."

"The reason." Feng Qingchen didn't say much, but just said something indifferent.

Shen Yunxi turned his eyes to glance at him, then looked at Ning Meng, and said eloquently: "If you die by drowning, there are generally two characteristics: First, the deceased will struggle due to breathing difficulties, and there will be water and mud in the abdomen. Sand; secondly, the deceased must have struggled before death, so there will be dirt in the fingernails of the deceased. Just now when you were discussing the case, I pressed her stomach, and no water and sand came from her. Spit it out of your mouth."

Pointing to the servants at the side, he continued: "They also said that when Ning Meng was rescued, her stomach was not swollen, and no one pressed her stomach. I also saw her hands and feet just now. , are all clean, and placed vertically by the side without any abnormalities. Although it is said that the corpse was found in the lake, it does not mean that this is the scene of the first crime, and..."

Said, Shen Yunxi turned slightly sideways, raised Ning Meng's feet, pointed to her somewhat worn heels, and asked Chu Han, "Did you see that? Her heels were obviously worn out by dragging them on the ground." Yes. As for other things, I won't say much, I think Housekeeper Chu should know what's going on, right?"

In fact, in other words, that is to say, Ning Meng was dragged by this small lake after her death, and then thrown into the river, in order to make people mistakenly think that she committed suicide because she was almost insulted by her stepfather, and thus escaped. After a catastrophe, her appearance broke the person's original thought.

Hearing Shen Yunxi's detailed explanation, carefully inspecting Ning Meng's body according to her words, and then thinking about it seriously, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Therefore, Chu Han couldn't help showing a touch of surprise in his eyes. He nodded in agreement, a light smile appeared on the corner of his lips, humbly and softly, he said: "I didn't expect the princess to analyze the case so thoroughly, and she has a unique insight." , I really amazed my subordinates!"

And Shuang'er was already stunned when Shen Yunxi knelt down to check Ning Meng's body, she wanted to stop her, but because of Feng Qingchen's presence, she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only stare at her dumbfounded.

At this moment, listening to Shen Yunxi's words, I was even more amazed!

As for Chu Han's admiration, Shen Yunxi only smiled lightly, without expressing much else.

"This king only knows that you are cowardly and cowardly, and you are often in the deep boudoir, but you don't expect to have the ability to act as a master." Feng Qingchen, who had not spoken until now, finally spoke at this time, her tone was flat, and she couldn't hear anything. Emotions, but the downcast eyes staring at her were full of complex lights.

Under the mild sunlight, Feng Qingchen stood with the backlight, Shen Yunxi couldn't see his expression clearly, but Chu Han who was standing beside him could clearly feel the cold gaze cast by him.

Shen Yunxi turned to look at Feng Qingchen, and said: "It can only be said that the prince doesn't know me well enough."

Feng Qingchen didn't say much on this topic, he looked at Ning Meng's corpse with dark eyes, and his evil voice escaped from his mouth, "Since the princess has such abilities, the murderer who killed Ning Meng will be handed over to the princess." Let's check."

Shen Yunxi stood up while removing the cloth wrapped around his hands. When he got up, he accidentally pulled his injured left shoulder last night. He couldn't help frowning, and then said coldly to Feng Qingchen: "Just now in the garden, my lord Don’t you still suspect that I am the messenger? Now let me investigate the murderer, won’t you worry that I will cover up the criminal and let the suspect go?”

Seeing her frowning, Feng Qingchen cast his eyes on her left shoulder, and after hearing what she said, he chuckled lightly, a little coldly, then took a step closer to her, stared at her tightly and said: "Even if you let go The murderer, I have the ability to find him, and by then, even if you have great abilities, you will not be able to keep yourself or your family safe."

In an instant, Shen Yunxi's eyes darkened a little, and she said, "Your Highness is threatening me?"
