Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 212 The strange sandalwood on the corpse

Fortress Zhang respectfully saluted His Royal Highness Yan Wang without any problem.

The Zhang family and Liu Bili were married to Zhang Baozhu's third child, Saburo. The wedding room between him and Liu Bili was still surrounded by government seals, and the crime scene at that time was preserved.

Zhang Baozhu and Zhang Sanlang respectfully followed Mingyue and Chu Ziyan to the door of the new house.

The maid went in with a lantern.

Under the illumination of several candles, the room is gradually filled with candlelight from dark to bright.The red and festive layout of the new house is still intact, and the objects in the house are neat, and there is no sign of struggle or fight.

Mingyue walked in, and Chu Ziyan followed behind, standing still inside the door to watch Mingyue go to bed.

Although the bedding on the bed was not neat, it was normal for sleeping and lying down. On the red sheets, there were still a few blackened bloodstains, which were the redness of a woman's first night.

"How did the groom live that night in the bridal chamber?" Mingyue turned around and asked.

Zhang Sanlang was still very afraid of the situation that day, and worried that everyone would suspect him, so he walked in very cautiously: "Xiaosheng was drunk that night, and I can't remember what happened after returning to the new house..."

"What is it that you don't remember clearly?" Mingyue asked.

"It's just... I hugged my wife once."

"Sanlang!" Fortress Zhang opened his eyes wide, "Don't get confused, didn't you say you were lying on the bedside and fell asleep before, why did you hug him?"

"Yes! Dad, but I remember going back to the bridal chamber and hugging the bride. I forgot what happened afterwards. When I woke up, I was lying on the bedside, and the bride was lying on the bed naked..."

Zhang Sanlang was even more nervous as he spoke, his hands clenched tightly into fists.

"At first I thought she was just asleep, she still had a faint smile on her face, her whole body was white and bloodless, and there were blood stains under her body, I also thought we had done something but... I really don't remember, she How he died, even if I was in the room, I have no idea."

Zhang Sanlang said a lot intermittently, but he couldn't figure out how the bride died from his words.

If it is modern, it can also be proved by testing sperm, whether the groom has had sex with the bride.

If it was really just because of the accidental death of the woman during sex, it might be because of the woman's body, but if this happened in several cases, it would be a bit strange, especially...

"How did the peach blossom branch come from?" Mingyue asked again.

Zhang Baozhu replied: "The peach blossom branch was discovered after the government came, and it was placed on the bedside."

If it weren't for the fact that this peach blossom appeared in every bride's room, the case of the bride's death in the bridal chamber might not have been settled.

There was Yizhimei, a strange hero, on TV, and now a flower thief Yizhitao came?

Mingyue took a deep breath, and when she entered the room just now, she heard a scent similar to sandalwood, very light and wafting, she thought it was incense nearby.

You can't smell the fragrance after entering the house.

Now I stood by the bed for a while, and smelled that fragrance again.

And if it persists, then the source of the fragrance should be nearby.

Mingyue squatted down and smelled the bedding, and indeed the fragrance came from the bed.

"Major Zhangbao uses pu ruozhi to make incense?"

"Incense is burned at home, but the child doesn't like the scent of sandalwood. His mother often burns sweet pine, sorrel, cloves, etc. I don't know what this Pu Ruozhi is?

Zhang Sanlang doesn't like sandalwood fragrance?

Mingyue thought for a moment and replied:
"This Pu Ruo is a relatively rare tree that grows in wetlands. The resin has a similar smell to sandalwood, but it is more bitter. It can repel insects and prevent corrosion, but it is somewhat toxic. Onmyoji will use it to refine some medicines, but ordinary people It cannot be used for a long time."

"If it's the smell of sandalwood, then Zhangjiabao must not have it. Children don't like this smell."

Mingyue nodded slightly, and went to open the closet beside her. There was indeed no smell of Pu Ruo in the closet.Mingyue walked back to the bed and picked up the sheet to distinguish the smell from the blood, she frowned slightly.

Chu Ziyan stood in the distance watching her every move.

Although this girl is a bit slow emotionally, she is usually very smart and likable.He never took his eyes off her, watching her neat and beautiful words and deeds, listening to her clear and agile voice, never tired of watching or listening to her.

On the carriage on the way back, Mingyue said, "I'll take you back to Prince Yan's Mansion first."

"Mingyue is still going to the Yin Mansion in Kyoto at such a late hour?"

"How do you know I'm going..." Seeing his unhappy expression, Mingyue laughed, "I'm not going to see Fenglin Garden."

"That is to go to the mortuary of the Yin Mansion in Kyoto."

She really guessed right, so Mingyue said that she would definitely not be able to hide from him what she would do to live with this person, and Mingyue smiled at him.

Chu Ziyan still looked unhappy.

Mingyue tied his wrist: "Be good, I'll go for a while."

obedient?If he remembers correctly, he has already proved to her that he is a man, and it is really unreasonable to praise him with the word "good", and it is wrong to want to be happy.

"I will go with Mingyue."

"Go back and rest first..."

"Who should rest?"

Anyway, she is not very tired, and who is taking up her time today to make it so late?Mingyue didn't say a word, but Chu Ziyan narrowed his slender eyes and smiled coldly: "It seems that I was wrong, and it can also give Mingyue the energy to run around without feeling tired at all."

Wow?This man can really read minds!
Chu Ziyan asked again in a low voice: "Should we still go to Guangling Inkstone?"

"No, no, no! No need!" The king couldn't get excited, so she just made a few random expressions, and she was actually broken by him. Mingyue raised her hands and surrendered, "My legs are still sore..."

Didn't you see her being obedient?

Chu Ziyan stared at her without saying a word.

Mingyue: "I love you dearly."

"So you think I have peace of mind to let you torment so much?"

"...Okay, let's go together, just for a while, okay?"

Seeing her overly considerate appearance, Chu Ziyan regretted his attitude, sighed and hugged her into his arms.

"Mingyue, I don't need to be protected as much as you think, don't think of me first."

Knowing that he was actually soft-hearted, Mingyue chuckled: "Hey Your Highness, didn't you say that you are the first in everything?"

Chu Ziyan was helpless, he was chatting with her seriously, she was not serious, he hugged her in his arms and didn't meet her bright and cunning eyes.

"I hope that Mingyue will become stronger and I want to be with Mingyue day and night. I always want to be the most important person in Mingyue's heart, but I don't want Mingyue to do everything for me. Only now do I understand that people can be so caring when getting along with others."

Mingyue doesn't speak but smiles knowingly, and likes to listen to his soft whispers.

I like how he reveals his thoughts a little bit.

"Mingyue has to remember one thing, I'm not as weak as you think. Regardless of my body or my heart, I have never suffered from anyone in this life...Only you feel very bad."

Listening to his voice, Mingyue became a little voice-controlled, and was immersed in his most gentle voice.It took a while to realize: "What do you mean? Why are you at a disadvantage here?"

"Mingyue treats me so well that no matter what I do, I can't make up for it. Sometimes I always feel sorry for you in front of you, but there is nothing I can do. I don't know what to do with you?"

It turned out to be the meaning, and Mingyue's bristling hair went down softly in an instant.

Lean back into his arms.

He raised his arms around himself.

"Then the young master will show you a way to make sure you are not at a loss, that is... life and death are in harmony with each other, and you will talk to Zicheng. Hold your hand and grow old together with you."

Whether together or not, life or death, I have sworn to tell you.Hold your hand tightly and live with you forever.

These are the two sentences traced by "Beating the Drum" in the Book of Songs. The full text actually refers to the feelings between comrades in arms, but Mingyue thinks it is also appropriate to describe the feelings between lovers, especially after she and Chu Ziyan have experienced so much. Couldn't have been more appropriate.

Chu Ziyan pressed his face against her cool hair, stroked it lightly, but did not answer.

Arriving at the Yin Mansion in the capital, accompanied by Yin Shirong and Wu, Mingyue and Chu Ziyan arrived at the mortuary.

Liu Bili's body was placed on the bed frame. The weather was not too hot, but after two days, the body was dry, hard and black, with spots on the skin.

However, there was no corpse smell, and just like what Mingyue thought, the corpse smelled like Pu Ruozhi.Mingyue put on gloves and opened Liu Bili's legs accompanied by Wuzuo. Pu Ruozhi's smell became stronger.

Pu Ruozhi can be regarded as a preservative.

Ming Yue asked: "Master Wu Zuo, do the two previous brides also smell like this?"

Wu Zuo thought about it for a while and said: "The first deceased, Xiaguan, has not paid attention to it. The last one seems to have a bit of sandalwood smell, which seems to be related to the leftovers of the lower body."

"Wu Zuo is saying that the body of the bride has this kind of smell?"

"Uh... yes, it was indeed found to contain puruo."

How could this kind of thing be tested in the body?Mingyue couldn't figure it out, it couldn't be an injection.

"Could it be that you used a lubricant containing this ingredient?"

"Lubricant..." Wu Zuo choked on Mingyue's bold guess, young people nowadays, "Although Pu Ruo is not very poisonous, it is poisonous after all. In the case, this...is not appropriate."

Indeed, if someone uses this blended lubricant, it will be quite shocking. Its antiseptic and insect repellent effects... Either their IQ is amazing or her imagination is too weird: "Master Yin, besides these three cases, is there any similar cases?" case?"

"Master Mingyue is right. After taking over the case from the Yin Mansion in the capital, we checked that there were indeed such cases before. There were three other brides who died suddenly. They were the Chen family who got married at the end of December, and Lin who got married in January. Shi, Luo Shi who got married in February..."

Yin Shirong said:

"Those three people are ordinary people. They only regarded these things as disasters and diseases, and they only talked about them vaguely after asking. But in the three cases, only Lin's new house, which was married in January, had a peach blossom, and the rest did not. "

Did the flower thief forget to bring the peach branch in two other cases?

This is unlikely.

According to criminal psychology, if a serial killer uses the same method to commit crimes, it will be difficult for him to change this habit. This is a kind of psychological crime, which is somewhat twisted and paranoid, similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder.
