Ran Yunshang obediently admitted that she fell in love with the man in blue at first sight, which surprised Xi Honglei. Although she had guessed this possibility before, when the princess actually said it, Xi Honglei still felt that it was too sudden and too sudden.
It's bloody bloody.
"Princess..." Xi Honglei swallowed and observed Ran Yunshang carefully. Seeing the suspicious blush on Ran Yunshang's cheeks, Xi Honglei thought for a while and said with a headache: "Actually, if you really like him
If so, this matter is not particularly difficult."
"You have a way?!" Ran Yunshang immediately became happy when she heard Xi Honglei's words. She grabbed Xi Honglei's sleeve and asked anxiously, "What should I do?"
"Looking at his clothes, he definitely doesn't belong to an ordinary family. In addition, when he left, he said a few words to the man on horseback. You can see how frightened that man was. If I'm not wrong,
, it must not be difficult to find him. If the princess really likes him, she will send someone to find out his identity, and then ask the emperor to grant the marriage, wouldn't it be a matter of course? "
Xi Honglei gave Ran Yunshang advice in a relaxed manner. However, the expression on Ran Yunshang's face did not become happy because of Xi Honglei's words.
After being stunned for a long time, Ran Yunshang slowly raised his head, looked at Xi Honglei, and asked: "What should I do if he doesn't like me?"
Before Xi Honglei could answer, Ran Yunshang clenched her fists again and said with determination: "No! I have to make him like me!"
After saying that, Ran Yunshang sat back on the stone bench in a daze, raising his head and looking at the sky with a melancholy expression.
Xi Honglei was dumbfounded by Ran Yunshang's actions. She took a deep look at the princess who had just begun to fall in love. Xi Honglei turned around and walked into Mu Yunmeng's room and asked softly: "Do you have any clues?"
Mu Yunmeng raised his head, stared at Xi Honglei who walked in front of him, and shook his head. "I don't have any ideas. What about you? What do you want to say?"
Xi Honglei actually had some thoughts about this murder case. But after being asked by Mu Yunmeng, she gave up the idea of speaking out. Sometimes, some words might be wrong if they were really spoken out.
You might get into trouble.
"How can I, a woman, think about this kind of thing?" Xi Honglei shrugged innocently and replied, "It's just a casual question."
Mu Yunmeng's probing eyes never left Xi Honglei's body, watching Xi Honglei's every move with a serious expression. For some reason, Mu Yunmeng always felt that Xi Honglei must know something, or have something he wanted to do to him.
He said that. Recalling what Xi Honglei said inadvertently when he was looking at the corpse in Yizhuang, Mu Yunmeng's brows wrinkled involuntarily.
Generally speaking, not to mention a woman, even a man should feel scared when seeing a corpse like that. But Xi Honglei said such words. She had no fear or uneasiness. What she was observing was the corpse.
The body spots and the degree of decomposition of the body. Is this normal?
"You can also ask Leng Xiao for help!" Xi Honglei's other words made Mu Yunmeng, who was deep in thought, slowly raise his head. Looking at Xi Honglei with twinkling eyes, Mu Yunmeng listened.
She said: "If Leng Xiao helps, this case should be investigated quickly, right?"
"Do you trust Leng Xiao so much?"
Xi Honglei was stunned by Mu Yunmeng's question and quickly came to his senses. Xi Honglei looked at him doubtfully and said, "You were the one who told me how powerful Leng Xiao was, weren't you? Why?
Now, you are starting to doubt his strength?"
Xi Honglei's counterattack made Mu Yunmeng smile silently. Shaking his head sharply, Mu Yunmeng smashed Xi Honglei's proposal. "Leng Xiao will not help me, don't forget you and him
It’s a bet between us. It’s impossible for him to help me become stronger, let alone shoot myself in the foot and help you escape from his clutches. So the only people we can rely on in this matter are you and me.”
Xi Honglei thought of the heinous bet between herself and Leng Xiao, gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Looking at Mu Yunmeng's indifferent smile with gloomy eyes, Xi Honglei sighed heavily, and then picked up Mu Yunmeng.
I read the scroll in front of me from beginning to end again.
"Mu Yunmeng." She called his name in a low voice. After looking at it for a while, Xi Honglei said, "If I really help you solve this case, how will you repay me?"
"Why should I repay you? This official position is not what I want. Even if the emperor takes it back, I don't care."
Sure enough, it was Mu Yunmeng’s answer…
Xi Honglei wailed feebly in her heart, becoming less and less confident in the bet between herself and Leng Xiao.
"Good-for-nothing!" Xi Honglei scolded Mu Yunmeng in a low voice, then walked around the table and walked to Mu Yunmeng's side. He placed the scroll in front of Mu Yunmeng, leaned down and pointed at one of the places.
place, and said: "Start here. First, ask the coroner to examine the corpse to see if the deceased was poisoned. Then investigate her family members in turn, as well as relatives and friends, who are all objects of suspicion."
After finishing speaking, Xi Honglei picked up the other scrolls on the table and read them carefully before Mu Yunmeng could comment. After reading them all, Xi Honglei licked the corner of his mouth thoughtfully.
, murmured to himself: "How come all the dead are women?"
Mu Yunmeng observed Xi Honglei silently. After Xi Honglei calmed down, Mu Yunmeng asked in a cold voice: "Are you really Xi Honglei?"
A flash of cold light quickly flashed across Xi Honglei's eyes, then he looked sideways at Mu Yunmeng with a smile, and asked funnyly: "Who else could I be if I weren't Xi Honglei?"
Mu Yunmeng did not answer her question immediately, but stood up. When Xi Honglei didn't react, he grabbed her skirt, opened her collar, and looked at Xi Honglei's hair just below the collarbone.
Location.
"What are you doing!" Xi Honglei knocked Mu Yunmeng's hand away, took two steps back, and looked at Mu Yunmeng displeased.
Mu Yunmeng didn't see what he wanted to see. When his eyes met with Xi Honglei's, Mu Yunmeng suddenly asked unexpectedly: "Has anyone ever told you that you and your sister look very similar?"
younger sister?
Xi Honglei quickly flashed through the faces of Xi Hongbo and Xi Hongmiao in his mind. Do they look alike? They are more or less similar, but not to the point of being very similar. Or rather, what Mu Yunmeng pointed out
Is this Xi Hongli, whom Xi Honglei has never seen before?
Xi Honglei didn't have time to think too much, and was attracted by the sound of the door being pushed open. When she looked back, she saw a disappointed Ran Yunshang.
"Honglei, I'm going back to the palace, do you want to come with me?"
"She stayed with me to investigate the case. You should go back first." Mu Yunmeng helped Xi Honglei answer Ran Yunshang. After Ran Yunshang left, Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei's displeased expression.
"You said you wanted to help me, didn't you?" Mu Yunmeng said with a smile, making Xi Hong swallow the words with tears on her lips.
Accompanying Mu Yunmeng to the Yamen, he found the coroner and went to Yizhuang to do the autopsy together. This time, Mu Yunmeng did not shut Xi Honglei out, but kept Xi Honglei with him and watched with him.
The whole process of autopsy.
Xi Honglei had doubts about Mu Yunmeng's actions. She also knew that she had exposed a lot of doubts today. But there was no way. If she relied on Mu Yunmeng alone and didn't take action, she really couldn't guarantee Mu Yunmeng's actions.
Meng can solve this case. And if she gives up this opportunity, it will not be that simple if she wants to contact these corpses again. If she sneaks over in the middle of the night to do an autopsy, she will definitely alert the guards here. And it won't
It was convenient for Xi Honglei to observe the details of the corpse. So even though she knew that doing so would arouse Mu Yunmeng's suspicion, she still stood here. Because she wanted to win, she wanted others to look at Mu Yunmeng with admiration, she
I want to get rid of Leng Xiao's control.
Standing behind Mu Yunmeng, Xi Honglei witnessed the coroner's autopsy process. When she heard the coroner say that the body was not poisoned, Xi Honglei had no objection. Because Xi Honglei was very familiar with poisons.
Tears knows very well what a person's corpse will look like after being poisoned. This is also the reason why she has been involved in dissecting human bodies.
But when Xi Honglei heard the coroner say that the woman should have hanged herself to death, she could no longer agree with his remarks.
"Hang yourself?" Xi Honglei looked at the middle-aged man with a frown and asked, "Where did you draw the conclusion?"
"Of course it's my years of autopsy experience!" When the coroner saw that Xi Honglei was a young girl, he immediately became a little arrogant and showed off. "Why, do you have any objection?"
"Of course." Xi Honglei nodded without hesitation. Under the surprised gazes of Mu Yunmeng and the coroner, he said solemnly: "Generally speaking, corpse spots are found on the pillow, neck, waist, buttocks and
The back sides of the limbs indicate that the deceased was lying on his back when he died. Corpse spots are found on the face, chest, abdomen and front sides of the limbs, which means he was in the prone position when he died. The corpse spots are distributed on the distal ends of the upper and lower limbs, indicating that he died.
She was hanging at the time. Since you have been doing autopsies for so many years, you probably don't understand this. Take a good look at the distribution of the spots on the body. Was she really hanged?"
Xi Honglei's remarks made the coroner's face suddenly turn pale, and Mu Yunmeng's expression did not get any better.
The coroner looked at Xi Honglei, at Mu Yunmeng, and then at the corpse he had just examined. He didn't expect that this young girl was actually an expert!
Mu Yunmeng lowered his eyes and said nothing. Instead, he called Xi Honglei out of the room and walked back without saying a word. But Xi Honglei was not as calm as Mu Yunmeng. What should he say?
She said it out loud, but the anxiety in her heart was something that Xi Honglei couldn't ignore.
What method should be used to make Mu Yunmeng not doubt his identity? Xi Honglei tried hard to think of lies that could deceive Mu Yunmeng...
