Sometimes the game doesn't need to be perfect, it just works well enough.
Burying the female corpse at the bottom of Long Shuai Mansion's lake was a crude and inferior method. Anyone with a little brain could see through that this was a frame-up.
But this method is very effective. There are hundreds of craftsmen in Longshuai Mansion. They are the best tools and can spread the news throughout the capital instantly.
The case of the Flower Picking Devil has had such an impact that the people are in urgent need of an explanation. As Long Chen is a harem eunuch and a first-grade flying dragon general, if he is the murderer, this news will be extremely explosive.
Therefore, although the method of burying corpses in ponds is poor, the effect is excellent.
After the dynasty ended, Long Chen and Di Luoxi returned to the West Palace, and Su Yourong said something had happened.
The maids in the palace were all whispering, with looks of horror on their faces.
"What's going on?"
Di Luoxi felt that something big was going to happen, and Long Chen also had a bad feeling in his heart.
Su Yourong was too anxious and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way and had no time to answer.
When we arrived at the courtyard of Qiuxing Palace, many palace ladies were chattering and watching.
Xiang Ning walked around, scolding the palace maids not to talk nonsense, and no one was allowed to leave Qiuxing Palace.
The little black dog in Xiao'e's arms was barking, and Xiao Daiyu's face turned green with anxiety.
When everyone saw Di Luoxi and Long Chen coming in, they all made way.
"What's going on?"
Long Chen asked.
Xiao'e came over and said: "Princess, sir, we were playing in the yard with Xiao Hei just now. Who knew... Xiao Hei dug out three corpses from the soil, which are the missing palace maids of Nangong."
Di Luoxi's expression suddenly changed and she walked towards the pit next to the courtyard wall.
The snow and soil were dug up by the little black dog, revealing three female corpses underneath.
"When the little black dog was playing with them, he dug out a piece of silk scarf from the soil. Xiao'e discovered that there was someone underneath, so I led others to dig out the snow and soil on the surface, and found the bodies of the three of them."
"How come the maid of Nangong is in Qiuxing Palace? What is going on?"
Su Yourong's face was ashen. She was not stupid and knew that this was a deliberate attempt to frame Long Chen.
"How can it be that you are so blatant, do you think that this princess dare not kill anyone?"
Di Luoxi roared furiously.
She knew better that this was a frame-up against Long Chen.
Long Chen was extremely calm at this time and said: "Calm down, don't fall into the trap, notify the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and let them investigate together."
Di Luoxi objected: "The body is in Qiuxing Hall. We can't defend ourselves and can't report it to the official."
"We are all our own people here. They burned the body and then blocked the news. No one knows about it."
Di Luoxi wanted to destroy the body and eliminate traces of it to avoid causing more trouble.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "If they can bury the body here without anyone noticing, they will be able to get the news out. Reporting it to the official is the best option."
Di Luoxi gradually calmed down, nodded, and said, "Yourong, go report to the official!"
Su Yourong immediately sent someone out of the palace to report to the officials.
Soon, Wu Wenjing, the minister of punishment, Shen Tianhe, the chief of the arrest department, Bai Anning, the censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Li Junjun, the censor of the Zuoqian capital, led people to Qiuxing Hall.
This is Di Luoxi's palace. The Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate try to bring female servants into the palace to avoid any inconvenience.
Except for the person involved, all the maids in the West Palace avoided it.
"Princess, General Long."
Everyone came to pay their respects first.
Di Luoxi looked ugly and said coldly: "How dare you bury the body in the West Palace? Such a bold thief must be found and cut into pieces!"
Officials from the two ministries only said yes.
Long Chen said calmly: "Everyone handle the case in accordance with the law. Don't take my identity into account. The truth is the most important."
Everyone paid their respects and then began to exhume the body.
There are three corpses in total, namely Cuizhu, the missing palace maid of Nangong, and Ruyan.
"Your Highness Princess, General Long, we will take the body back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for autopsy. Miss Xiao'e and Daiyu from the palace need to accompany us."
Bai Anning said it very politely.
Xiao'e and Xiao Daiyu were scared and didn't want to go with Bai Anning.
Long Chen comforted him: "It's okay, I just went over to make a note. It has nothing to do with you."
Bai Anning took the body and people back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the autopsy began immediately.
....
Nangong.
Shangguan Xue hurried into Di Xingwan's room and said, "Princess, Cuizhu and Ruyan have been found!"
Emperor Xingwan was surprised and asked: "Where?"
Shangguan Xue said breathlessly: "In the Qiuxing Hall of the West Palace!"
Di Xingwan frowned and cursed: "Slut, you actually had an affair with Long Cheng'en, catch me and put you to death!"
She thought the palace maid secretly went to Long Chen's place to hang out.
Shangguan Xue shook his head and said: "No, princess, they are all dead. Their bodies have just been dug out from the ground of Qiuxing Palace. The Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have both gone."
Emperor Xingwan was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and asked in an unbelieving tone: "Dead? In Qiuxing Hall? Could it be..."
Originally, she thought that Long Chen's theory of murder was pure nonsense.
Now she thinks there might be something wrong.
"I'm going to see my mother!"
Di Xing got up in the evening and Shangguan Xue brought her coat.
After putting on his coat, Di Xingwan hesitated again.
Now we just found the body, but there is no explanation yet, and it's hard to say anything when we get to the empress.
"Wait a little longer..."
Di Xingwan took off his coat again and sat down.
....
Fengming Palace.
Yingfeng hurried into the imperial study and reported: "Your Majesty, the bodies of the missing maids of Nangong were found in the Qiuxing Palace where Long Chen was, and all three of them are there."
The empress slapped the case and stood up, saying angrily: "This is unreasonable! This flower-picking devil is so courageous that he actually reached into the palace!"
Yingfeng hurriedly bowed: "The humble minister is incompetent!"
Three palace maids died in Nangong, which shows that the flower-picking demon has sneaked into the palace and can kill people and bury corpses in the palace.
Yingfeng leads the Shadow Guards and is responsible for the inner palace. If something like this happens, the responsibility lies with Yingfeng.
"Check Nangong thoroughly for me, especially Li Tianze!"
There is absolutely no problem in the West Palace. Long Chen is in charge of the West Factory. If the flower-picking devil can sneak into the West Palace, then Long Chen will be in a bad situation.
Yingfeng went to do it immediately.
"Wan'er!"
Di Waner walked in quickly and bowed: "Your Majesty."
The empress said: "Go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and wait. If there is any news, report it immediately."
Di Waner immediately went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
....
It only took a few hours for the news that the female body was found in the palace where Long Chen was located to spread throughout the capital.
A female body had just been discovered in Longshuai's Mansion and a female body was found in Qiuxing Palace. The crowd in the capital was furious. The people no longer discussed in private, but cursed in public. Some people even began to gather to demonstrate.
Especially the literati, who regarded themselves as moral models and wanted to uphold justice for the people, began to gather together and jointly submit a letter to the empress, demanding that Long Chen be severely punished.
Those officials who had been dismissed because of their attachment to Jing Tianlie, the remaining secret guards, and the secret agents of the Imperial City Department all took the opportunity to cause trouble. The situation in the capital suddenly became treacherous, and Long Chen became a cross street that everyone wanted to beat.
mouse.
....
Qiuxing Hall.
Long Chen closed the door and Feng He came in through the window.
"Sir, this is not good. Now the people in the capital are boiling with resentment, and they are all targeting you."
"The common people demolished Commander Long's mansion, and the literati jointly submitted a letter to the Supreme Leader, demanding his removal and thorough investigation."
Feng He smiled and didn't panic at all.
Long Chen said: "I'm like this, and you can still laugh?"
Feng He smiled and said: "It's just a small skill, nothing to worry about."
Long Chen asked: "Then tell me how to break the situation?"
Feng He spread his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know, but you must have a way."
Long Chen glanced at Feng He with speechless eyes and said, "Don't you have any news from your side?"
Feng He said: "Since the incident, I have been keeping an eye on Li Tianze, but recently he has been in the back office room of the Ministry of Justice, accompanied by Wu Wenjing, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, and other officials. He did not leave the back office to eat, drink or have sex. The murderer is not him.
"
To commit a crime, there must be time to commit the crime, and Li Tianze has sufficient proof of alibi.
Long Chen asked: "Is it possible to remotely control it?"
Feng He said: "I don't know about this. I asked my brothers from Xichang to thoroughly investigate the suspicious people in the capital, but nothing was found."
That's weird, there's no suspicious person?
"Could it be that...it's not Li Tianze?"
Long Chen felt that he had thought wrong from the beginning. The murderer was not Li Tianze at all, but someone else.
To be honest, Long Chen is prejudiced against Li Tianze, and prejudice can affect a person's judgment.
Maybe Li Tianze really has no problem.
Feng He scratched his head and said: "This case is too weird. I can't figure it out anyway. I can only rely on adults."
Long Chen said: "When the autopsy reports of the three palace maids come out, bring me all the information and I will see if I can find anything."
Feng He agreed and went out through the window immediately.
....
Nangong.
Li Tianze entered his courtyard, and a pretty palace maid walked back to the room with a smile on her face carrying a parrot cage.
"Where have you been?"
The pretty palace maid held the bird cage and said with a smile: "I went to play with Ye Liu and the others."
Li Tianze kindly reminded: "The wind is blowing hard now, so don't move around, be careful of meeting bad people."
The pretty palace maid ignored him and went into the room by herself.
Li Tianze sighed slightly and wanted to follow him in.
A shadow flashed behind him and was behind him in an instant.
