Chapter 119 Headless Murder
After arriving at the scene of the murder case, a group of officers and soldiers had already gathered around the spot. Ruan Xiyue glanced at the dead man covered with coir raincoats on the ground, and couldn't help asking, "Is this man a fisherman?"

Master Liu, who handled the case, was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "If you go back to the princess, this person is a fisherman. It is said that he was still fishing two days ago. The night before yesterday, he suddenly disappeared. When he was found today, he was gone." Dead, this head was cut off, really..."

Looking at the luxurious courtyard around her, which looked like a place where rich people lived, she glanced around: "By the way, Mr. Liu, who lives here? Why does the dead appear in the courtyard of the master's house? "

"This is the royal family in the capital. This prince is a messenger, and he has never been involved in these things. Besides, he is also a well-known benevolent person in the capital. No one believes that he will do such a thing!" Master Liu Said seriously.

After hearing this sentence, Gu Yuxian and Ruan Xiyue looked at each other, and Master Liu continued: "It's strange that in the four headless murders that happened recently, the dead were all in this yard, so this is why the next official Startled the prince."

Gu Yuxian, who had been silent for a long time, was finally moved. He walked slowly to the side of the corpse and squatted down. Everyone avoided him but did not shy away from him. They all looked at Gu Yuxian with strange eyes. .

"Ah Xian..." Ruan Xiyue stood beside him.

Gu Yuxian gave her a reassuring smile and said, "It's okay."

I saw that after testing the corpse with the silver needle in Gu Yuxian's hand, there was no poison on it, and there was no water in the lungs of the deceased, so it means that he was not poisoned or drowned. Could it be that the murderer was Is it possible to cut off his head alive like this?There should be no such possibility, even if the murderer is too powerful, he must kill the person before he can do the following things.

Ruan Xiyue knew Gu Yuxian very well, but she could tell what he was thinking from Gu Yuxian's gaze, and asked suspiciously: "Are you also wondering that the murderer's methods are cruel?"

"That's right, if the murderer wasn't super skilled in martial arts, he wouldn't be able to kill him with a single blow while he was alive." Gu Yuxian said seriously.

Mr. Liu nodded first, and then asked: "What does the lord mean, this fisherman was killed and then his head was cut off?"

"That's right. I took a look at it just now. There are no corpse spots on this corpse, which means that this person died within ten hours. Then where did he go after he disappeared for two days?" The most critical part of the case.

After what Gu Yuxian said, Mr. Liu seemed to have thought of something, so he said directly: "The autopsy on the previous dead people also said the same thing. The three people who died before died almost in the same way as this fisherman. That can prove to be from the same person's hand."

"Really?" Ruan Xiyue became a little skeptical when she looked at them with a look of conviction. Could it be that they have to choose the time to kill?Thinking about it, I became more and more suspicious.

Ruan Xiyue raised her eyes and said, "Master Liu, how long has it been since the three people died before?"

"Well, it will probably take seven or eight days if I calculate it!" Lord Liu murmured.

Ruan Xiyue didn't speak, but took a deep look at Gu Yuxian, who seemed to be talking about something, at this time Gu Yuxian turned his eyes sideways and asked, "Then where is this prince?"

Lord Liu smiled slightly, and explained: "Young Master Liu went to meet friends in Jiangnan as early as January, but after this incident happened, the lower officials have already informed him, and he should be back soon."

"Okay, remember to inform this king when this person comes back." The capital is not big or small, with so many courtyards, why did the murderer insist on throwing the body here?If the prince didn't do it, then why did the murderer do it?
On the way back, Ruan Xiyue looked at Gu Yuxian's pensive look, and couldn't help smiling lightly: "Ah Xian, are you also thinking about this matter?"

Gu Yuxian nodded slightly in response, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "What I'm thinking at this moment is what is the relationship between the murderer and the prince, and why did he frame him?"

"Framed? Don't you think that the murderer is Prince Wang? First, he has an alibi, so he can just commit the crime. Second, the corpses are all in his yard. He did this to prove It's just that someone is going to frame him, and he's not the murderer, is he?"

In fact, Ruan Xiyue had also thought about Gu Yutitle, but she always felt that there was something wrong, so she took a deep breath: "What Yueer said is not unreasonable."

"By the way, why do I feel that Mr. Liu didn't seem to be telling the truth? Also, when we asked about Mr. Wang, he said it almost without thinking. Did he expect that we would ask this question a long time ago?" What about people?"

After Ruan Xiyue said this, Gu Yuxian immediately reacted: "Yes, why didn't I think that Mr. Liu has a problem?"

After nightfall, Ruan Xiyue wore night clothes and walked through the dark night. After a few steps, she landed in the mansion office. After finding the room where the corpse was placed, she walked in through the back window.

The silver needle in her hand was as long as the palm of her hand. After finding a corpse at random, she smeared something on the silver needle and pierced it towards the flesh of the corpse. Toxic: "It seems that this case is indeed interesting."

"Who is it?" Suddenly there was a movement outside, and then the officers and soldiers over there pressed forward step by step. Ruan Xiyue was thinking about where to hide at this time, her waist tightened, and someone grabbed her.

The masked man put his arms around her waist and landed on the beam of the house. Since both of them were wearing night clothes, it was not easy to be spotted. Ruan Xiyue was very familiar with this aura, and the person who came was Chu Yunfeng.

At this moment, the guards outside came in, and the leader asked displeasedly, "It was you just now?"

"Yeah, yeah, I broke my stomach after eating at night, so I pooped in the back!" Saying that, he laughed honestly.

After hearing the words, everyone took a breath: "Everyone is on guard, and no one can be let in, otherwise the adults will not be able to spare you if they find out, do you understand?"

"Yes..." The others responded in unison.

Ruan Xiyue was depressed, it was just a few corpses, and they didn't have any heads, so were they still worried about being seen by others?After thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little ironic.

After the two left the government office, they came to a forest. Chu Yunfeng said in a low voice: "Do you know that it was very dangerous just now, if those people found out about your existence, would you still be able to leave?"

Hearing Chu Yunfeng's tepid tone, Ruan Xiyue also said with a smile: "Don't worry, you saved my life, how could I die so easily?"

"Okay, I'll take you back to the palace first, Lord Yu seems to be looking for you." He said lightly.

Although Ruan Xiyue didn't know why he chose her, but she could feel that Chu Yunfeng had no malice towards her, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay then, go back first."

Back in the palace, Ruan Xiyue saw Gu Yuxian standing in the yard with his arms behind him, as if he was waiting for him, and ran over happily: "Ah Xian..."

"Where have you been, Yue'er?" Gu Yuxian now wished that she could be by his side all the time, so that he could protect her well.

Looking at Gu Yuxian's worried face, Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but blame herself, but thinking of what she had gained tonight, she smiled dazzlingly, sat at the table holding Gu Yuxian's hand, and said with burning eyes: "Didn't we check the corpses during the day and there was nothing unusual, but when I went to check at night, I found out that the corpses were actually poisoned and died, and the poison was so strong that there was no antidote at all."

"Who would use this method to harm others?" After speaking, Gu Yuxian couldn't help but fell silent.

In fact, Ruan Xiyue herself was also puzzled by this point. Thinking about it, she frowned and said, "The murderer first poisoned people to death, and then cut off their heads. You said that everyone is already dead, why do you still have to cut off their heads?" What do you want to express by dropping their heads?"

During the silence between the two, Gu Yuxian seemed to think of something, and said, "Do you think the murderer did this to hide something, so as to cover up the fact of who the corpse is?"

"If this is the case, then should we first investigate who the four dead people are and what is the relationship between them, right?" Although Ruan Xiyue is really not interested in these things, Ah has already been involved. title, then she can only make a move.

On the second day, Gu Yuxian asked Li Yan to investigate the identities of these four people. In order to prevent more people from dying, he ordered General Zhao to be on alert throughout the city, and to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious, but Still let them go wrong.

"My lord, Master Liu is here." Hua Qing whispered.

As soon as the words were finished, Lord Liu came over in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face: "My lord, just now another dead person was found in the yard, and he died in the same way as the four people who died before."

Seeing that Gu Yuxian didn't speak, Ruan Xiyue sneered, paused slightly with the fingers holding the teacup, and raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her: "Didn't your people watch in the Wang family's mansion, knowing that the murderer committed murder?" Will you throw the corpse in that place, and you have no precautions? Master Liu, what do you eat, it's a bunch of trash!"

It is said that Princess Yu is gentle and dignified, but Master Liu did not expect that she would be so cold, and was frightened by Ruan Xiyue's aura at that time.
