When Chen Chi came to Fahua Temple, the crime scene had already been controlled by people from Dali Temple. This was specially instructed by Chen Chi when he succeeded as Minister of Dali Temple to facilitate the search for clues.
"Master Shen."
When Detective Li Zheng saw Shen Chi, he bowed respectfully and then told him about the case: "The deceased was a beggar named Zhao Wu, who was thirty-eight years old this year.
After investigation, it was found that the deceased was stabbed directly in the heart with a hairpin by the murderer, killing him instantly. The report was made by two of Zhao Wu's men, who witnessed the murderer's murder."
"hairpin?"
When Shen Chi heard the word "hairpin", his eyelids suddenly jumped. He frowned and walked up to the two beggars and asked, "Have you witnessed the murderer committing the crime? Do you still remember what the murderer looks like?"
The two beggars were kneeling on the ground, still shaking.
Seeing Shenchi, one of the beggars reacted and pointed at him and said: "Sir, you have also seen the murderer. It was the beggar you rescued at Fahua Temple an hour ago. She was the one who killed our boss."
Chen Chi was stunned for a moment, then heard the beggar say again: "By the way, our boss said that the murderer was a woman, and she used a hairpin to kill."
Woman, hairpin!
Chen Chi had a flash of inspiration and suddenly became excited. Yan Jingxuan sent a letter about the murder of the marriage team, which was written by Wang Zefang.
The letter said that Shen Wanyue first poisoned the wine, and then killed the guards with a hairpin while they were unconscious.
After killing someone, she ran away.
However, all the state capitals and counties in Beichen issued sea arrest documents to apprehend fugitives, but no one was caught.
Now that Nanyue and Beichenguan cities have opened, Shen Wanyue may have fled to Nanyue. No wonder he thought the beggar was a little strange before.
Now that I think about it, that beggar is probably Sister Yue.
Chen Chi took a breath. He thought that Sister Yue had now become a murderer, and that Sister Yue didn't know about their lives. What would she think if she was allowed to see them in Fahua Temple now?
"Oops."
Shen Chi was horrified and said hurriedly: "You guys take the body back and I'll go find the murderer."
He got on his horse and hurried towards the capital. He was frightened along the way, wondering what Sister Yue would do after knowing the truth.
After running wildly, Shen Chi finally arrived at Shen Mansion.
He got off his horse and entered the house and asked the housekeeper: "Has anyone been here?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said: "No one has been here, but a girl just gave me a gift, and she named it for Madam. The younger one just gave it to Madam."
After hearing this, Chen Chi's expression changed. He hurried to the backyard and heard a scream.
He walked in quickly and shouted in a panic: "Chu'er."
As soon as he entered the door, he saw two rattles lying on the ground, and the two rattles were actually stained with blood.
"Husband."
Mu Xuechu hugged Shen Chi and started to panic: "The housekeeper just brought me something, and when I opened it, I saw this blood-stained rattle.
Husband, is someone trying to harm our child? Have you offended someone outside?"
She asked Shen Chi nervously.
Shen Chi frowned, held Mu Xuechu's hand and said, "Sister Yue did it."
Mu Xuechu was stunned and couldn't believe it: "Sister Yue?"
Chen Chi said: "Do you still remember the little beggar you rescued at Fahua Temple before? She killed someone, and the murder weapon was a hairpin.
