Warm Emperor's Favorite: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 1264 Another Show Girl Was Killed
Feng Qi was also very confused, but she didn't go to inquire about anything.

Due to the death of a beautiful woman, the competition could not be carried out. After the investigation of the Xiunv Pavilion, the soldiers left, and the competition started normally.

But the rumors are still coming...

"Have you heard? The Empress has a mutant tiger. It is said that the tiger is very fierce."

"I know, it's the one that saved the queen's cousin."

"Well, you didn't see that, the tiger suddenly grew bigger, and then killed a horse with one paw."

"Really? Wouldn't it be easy to kill someone?"

"No, should we talk to my aunt?"

"say what?"

"Do you think the queen's cousin deliberately let the tiger kill people because she saw that Miss Qiu was good-looking and capable?"

"Oh, I'm so scared when you say that."

"What are you afraid of? Is your score in the top ten?"

"No, but I don't want to draft."

"I don't want to choose either."

Some show girls began to retreat.

Not so keen on the competition.

Feng Qi frowned, this Miss Qiu is really in the top ten, she looks good and has strong skills, but did the person who killed her have something to do with the draft or her father?

Aunt came to Feng Qi, her eyes were not friendly: "If you really did it, please stop immediately, don't think that you can mess around with the support of the empress!"

Feng Qi laughed: "Sorry, I won't take the blame for this."

"Not you?" Auntie asked.

Feng Qi shook her head: "It's not me, and I don't bother to use this kind of method. In fact, it doesn't make any sense to me whether to be the first or not. Auntie should understand this."

Aunt nodded: "I understand, it's just that rumors are not good for you. If the emperor pursues it, you have to figure out a countermeasure yourself."

Feng Qi nodded: "Thank you, aunt, I will answer truthfully!"

"Okay!" Auntie nodded and left.

Liu Ye said dejectedly: "My aunt even suspects Miss."

Feng Qi sighed: "I can't help it, many people know about Zitong saving me that day!"

"Then what about the next competition?" Liu Ye asked.

"What should we do? Just hold it as usual." Feng Qi replied.

Liu Ye was a little nervous, not because she was afraid of the beast, but because she was afraid that the person who killed Miss Qiu would hurt Feng Qi.

The days that followed were peaceful, and Xiu Nu's exams went on a few more times, but it was a pity that Xuanyuan Yi didn't show up, and he might be entangled in the fake gold ticket.

This day and night!
"Ah..." A scream pierced the sky.

Feng Qi was startled awake, and quickly got dressed.

In Xiunv Pavilion, many eunuchs and court ladies held torches to illuminate the courtyard.

Feng Qi went downstairs, and when she passed the third floor, she found that the door was crowded with people.

"What happened?" Feng Qi asked.

The beautiful woman at the door said with a pale face, "Li Xuefen, who ranked fifth, is dead."

"Li Xuefen?" Feng Qi's mind was spinning, it was the name on the list, but this Li Xuefen was definitely not killed by Xuanyuan Yi.

When Feng Qi came to the door, she found that the blood flowed to the door, winding like a river.

"Who was the first to discover it?" Feng Qi asked.

"It's Li Xuefen's maid, Xiao Xia." Someone replied.

My aunt came up with a girl. The girl was pale, her eyes were in a daze, and she was terrified at first glance.

"Has anyone ever gone in?" asked the aunt.

Feng Qi shook her head: "When I came down, they were all watching at the door, I didn't see anyone go in!"

"Yes." Auntie stepped in, avoiding the blood and going around behind the screen, behind which was the big bed.

"Hiss..." Auntie's inhalation made people tremble.

"Auntie, what's the situation?" Feng Qi asked.

"The internal organs are all gone," the aunt replied.

Feng Qi asked: "Can I go in and have a look?"

Aunt was silent for a moment: "Come in!"

"No, what if she is the murderer?" someone said.

"Yes, you can't go in. What if she is a murderer and destroys the traces after entering?"

Feng Qi rolled her eyes, but she didn't explain.

The aunt said: "The people from the Ministry of Punishment are coming soon, please wait."

Sure enough, not long after that Qiu Shangshu came with someone.

One of the old men was carrying a wooden box, and he seemed to be an expert.

Qiu Shangshu did not check the corpse immediately, but checked the situation at the door, and then carefully checked the screen.

"The screen wasn't broken, scratched, or displaced. The murderer didn't enter through the main entrance, or it was very small!" Qiu Shangshu said.

Feng Qi raised her eyebrows, this Qiu Shangshu had deep sadness in his eyes, but he was not sloppy in handling the case at all, he is really a good official, what a pity.

After entering a little bit inside, Qiu Shangshu said again: "I will take a look around, and then you can come in for an autopsy."

"Yes!" The person outside replied.

After a while, Qiu Shangshu said: "There are a few white hairs on the window, which are very hard, and they seem to be from the murderer.

There were scratches on the beams, like claws, but the force was so strong that the paint on the beams was scratched off.

There are bloody footprints beside the bed, in the shape of plum blossoms, each five inches long and five inches wide.

The table shifted, there should be a fight, or the struggle of the dead.

See if anyone hears strange noises? "

The woman outside said: "I only heard the sound of the table scratching, like the sound of a person being pushed away and hitting the table."

Feng Qi's heart moved, this beautiful girl doesn't know martial arts, so it is impossible for her to push the tiger away, unless someone pretends to be a tiger to kill.

So during the fight, the man was pushed back and hit the table!

"When did you hear it?" Qiu Shangshu asked.

The woman thought for a while and said, "Just one hour and a quarter of an hour ago, I was thirsty at that time, so I got up to drink water!"

Feng Qi did some calculations, and it was about [-]:[-] in the middle of the night, so the time is more accurate.

"Can I go in?" Feng Qi asked.

"Who are you?" Qiu Shangshu asked.

"I'm the queen's cousin!" Feng Qi replied.

Qiu Shangshu was silent for a moment, then said: "Come in!"

"How can she go in?" Someone asked.

"You can come in if you are brave enough." Qiu Shangshu said lightly.

This sentence dispelled those women's doubts.

Feng Qi entered the room, and the scene inside was exactly as Qiu Shangshu said, there was a scratch on the beam and paw prints beside the bed.

"The paw prints are only here, not on the windows, not on the door, so they just disappeared out of thin air, right?" Feng Qi said.

Qiu Shangshu was stunned: "That's right, even if you run away, it's impossible that there are only paw prints here."

Feng Qi looked at the corpse, pointed to the belly and said, "Here..."

Qiu Shangshu leaned over to have a look, and now his face changed drastically: "No, this is not torn apart by wild beasts."

Feng Qi nodded: "That's right, but the bite marks on the internal organs can't be explained."

Qiu Shangshu's heart sank, could it be that someone came to kill someone and then used a dagger to open his stomach and eat the internal organs?
