Yu Qiansi straightened up and turned to him. Seeing him staring at the ajar door with an unreadable expression, she did not rush him.
The silence between the two people gave birth to the mournful sound of summer insects. The small noise in the court only enhanced the silence, and you could even hear the sound of clouds moving.
After a moment, Boyi took a step forward and slowly opened the door. The dust that had been sleeping for ten years was flying and rolling in the air reluctantly due to the two late-night visitors, forming a line under the moonlight that had just appeared.
Tao white long practice.
Boyi felt that his heartbeat was loud enough to send out memories in this ghostly courtyard, but he could not restrain himself.
The wooden boards under his feet turned into soft haystacks. He seemed to be a little unsteady with every step he took, and his face was extremely pale, but he still led Yu Qiansi into the house.
Back then, just a few days after the incident happened here, the previous emperor passed away, the war to protect the country was tragically won, and the new emperor ascended the throne. One incident after another happened one after another. It seems that they were the only people besides the murderer who set foot here again after the incident.
Boyi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yu Qiansi. This was the situation in the house that he had recently drawn based on the words of those who had witnessed the crime that day.
After the prayer hall was renovated, everything inside and outside the hall was made of wood. After the incident, although the room was ordered to be thoroughly cleaned, the palace officials still had no time to take care of themselves, and there was too much blood stains left on the scene.
Cleaning, so the palace servants only did simple cleaning. Now under the moonlight, you can still see the stains of blood remaining on the floor of the house that have been integrated with the strips of wood.
Yu Qiansi looked at the drawing in his hand and listened to Boyi describing the situation of that day one by one.
"Each house in the row of the Prayer Hall has two rooms, an outer hall and an inner room, separated by a delicate and elegant Bisha cabinet filled with scriptures. This house was used as the residence of a noble concubine, and
Mother's residence is next to the imperial concubine and is closer to the main hall."
The two of them were standing in the outer hall at the moment. The blue gauze cupboard leading to the inner room was half open, and they could see a few inches of the inner room. The moonlight squeezed in through the cracks in the window, leaving strange and strange white colors on the ground.
trace.
"According to people who witnessed the scene at the time," he pointed to the gap through which the inner room could be vaguely seen, "the imperial concubine was lying on the tables in the middle of the inner room. Her body was covered with scars, and her favorite thing was even wet.
The snow-colored velvet blanket that was a tribute from the Western Regions. The blue gauze cabinet was closed tightly, and the mother fainted in the outer hall not far from the blue gauze cabinet. There were blood stains on her hands, and a blood-stained dagger was thrown next to her.
It was the murder weapon used to kill the imperial concubine."
"And the entire room, whether it's the windows or the only door, is locked from the inside."
At that time, the auspicious time had passed for a long time. All the ladies of the scholar family who were selected to enter the palace to pray for blessings gathered in the courtyard, but they had not seen the empress who presided over the ceremony for a long time. So someone discovered the fresh one and returned it.
Bloody fingerprints slowly slid down the window screen, so a brave woman stepped forward and pushed the door, only to find that the door was locked.
One of the concubines was highly respected and worried that something was wrong, so she had no choice but to bear the pressure of "causing bad luck" and enlisted the guards to open the door together.
Boyi looked around, but did not find the door bolt that was broken into two parts after being knocked open. Then he thought that these small things were naturally thrown away.
Yu Qiansi followed what he expected and looked inward. She didn't know what she thought of. She raised her eyebrows again and looked at Boyi but hesitated to speak.
And as his memories unfolded step by step, the importance of those secrets that had been sealed in many people's hearts for more than ten years overcame the unexplainable fear in his heart, suppressing his heart like a drum.
As the thunder roared, he gradually became calmer, stood in the center of the outer hall, pointed around one by one and began to explain in detail, for fear of missing a detail.
Most of the furnishings in the outer hall are still there, but some are decayed, dilapidated, and dirty.
Yu Qiansi compared the paintings one by one and found that the current furnishings were consistent with the paintings.
From the moment she stepped onto the corridor outside this row of houses, she had a suspicion in her mind, so she closed the picture and followed the blood stains on the ground to check out the furnishings.
The wooden boards under her feet groaned under her footsteps, like the huffing sounds made by an elderly person when she had to carry heavy objects.
With dissatisfaction, but also with the memory of the passing of time and intestinal soreness and liver pain.
Sure enough, under the corner of a table, a blackened mass of blood was found, and such blood stains hidden in the dark were more or less present on everything in the outer hall.
"They also mentioned that when they returned here after the incident and bribed the guard to check, they also found these strange blood stains. I marked them with rouge."
After the incident, Empress Mingde was imprisoned in the palace. She naturally realized that she had been tricked and was worried that the murderer would return, so she sent some of them back to the scene and recorded everything in detail.
"What did the Queen say at that time?"
"She said that the auspicious time was approaching, so she went back to her room to take a bath and change clothes. As soon as she entered her room and closed the door, she felt a strange fragrance and fainted within a few steps."
When he was woken up again, it was the scene that was discovered by everyone.
Boyi lowered his eyes and pondered, how on earth did the murderer move his mother from his house to this place, then lock the door from the inside and leave?
"Before she fainted, did you notice the Buddhist beads all over the floor?"
Boyi shook his head slowly and solemnly: "No, there were only beads scattered in the outer hall at that time. If there were beads before she fainted, if she accidentally touched them when the lights were not lit in the room, whether kicked or stepped on,
Naturally, she would be aware of it. Because of this, when she woke up and found Buddhist beads all over the floor, she felt something was wrong, so she secretly hid one."
Hearing this, Yu Qiansi was a little irritated. She kept turning the Yuli Qiankun in her hand, letting it make a crisp but exciting sound, which stirred up the stagnant and old air here and made it a little more disturbing.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Queen Mingde, like herself, also found Buddhist beads all over the floor after waking up. At different times and in different places, all crimes were committed in secret rooms.
Buddha beads scattered on the ground...
This case was actually not difficult, but she had already made some calculations in her mind at this moment. It was probably just because it involved the emperor and the concubine in the palace, and it was a special period, that it became an unsolved case.
She felt a little disappointed and anxious. She thought that this case would help her find some clues about her father's case, but she didn't expect...it was just that the beads were the same.
She was a little annoyed. Why, after investigating so many cases, did she have no clue about the one that concerned her?!
Are the methods different?
No.
She suddenly clenched her fists, and the crisp collision sound of Yuli Qiankun also stopped abruptly.
The methods must be different.
She looked back at the door to the outer hall.
This is a bolted door, so this method can be used. But the attic back then was locked, so it was impossible to use this method.
Boyi noticed that Yu Qiansi's breathing became rapid, and then returned to silence as the world in Yuli suddenly became quiet, as if she had turned into a ghost at this moment and melted into the air here.
Since this rosary is related to a mysterious organization, it will definitely not appear here out of thin air. If we can find the truth about this case, we might be able to find some clues.
With the direction, it seems like a solitary lamp like a bean has been lit in the netherworld, but it is contrary to the hope of the traveler.
She stepped out to confirm her suspicion.
When you go out and turn left, the house next door is the residence of Queen Mingde.
Boyi didn't expect her sudden action and followed her out. He saw her pushing open the door of his mother's room with an incredible but unexpectedly contradictory look on her face.
He quickly followed and took a look inside, and was shocked: "Where are the things inside?"
The entire outer hall is empty. Ten years have passed and the traces of the furnishings have been buried by old dust. It is just like other places. It is impossible to tell how these furnishings were placed before.
But Boyi remembered that those people had mentioned that because his mother mentioned that she fainted in her house, they also checked it together. They did not find any incense or anything like that, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Later, all attention was focused on the crime scene.
The crime scene is separated from here by a wall, and the corridor outside this door has a clear view. Guards were on duty for many days after the crime. Later, the border turmoil affected the palace, and they abandoned this place.
The palace officials who cleaned up at that time didn't even clean up the crime scene, let alone this room?
Could it be the murderer?
"Of course he is the murderer," Yu Qiansi pursed her lips tightly, but raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a mocking tone, as if she was talking to the people in the past through the dust stirred up in front of her: "Naturally, everything here has been destroyed.
The murderer destroyed it."
Quite a bit brave.
After that, she kept walking and headed towards the house next door on the other side of the crime scene.
Although Boyi, who was stunned on the spot, didn't know what she was doing, he heard the word "murderer" in her mouth.
The heart in his chest was beating violently again.
This time, I was filled with excitement and fear, as well as many indescribable complex emotions.
"You said...'murderer'?" He turned to look at Yu Qiansi, who had walked to the door on the other side of the crime scene, and confirmed again softly: "You said 'murderer', is it true?
murderer?"
At this moment, Yu Qiansi had opened the door on the other side, looking at the empty darkness inside the door, and smiled in faith.
"Actually, when I saw the bloody palm print just now, I noticed something unusual. In addition to what you just said, I think... your insistence is right. The murderer back then was indeed someone else."
Then, she closed the door above that she had opened rudely, and stood facing Boyi.
The clear moonlight was once again half-covered by thick clouds, but it still struggled to release the strands of tulle. At this moment, they were all gathered around her body, making her whole body exude a hazy brilliance.
"Queen Mingde is innocent. Not only that, I now know how the murderer did it."
