Then, Chai Yan followed Chen Kuo to Xuanyi Palace.
As soon as the two of them crossed the threshold of Xuanyi Palace, they heard the cry of a girl coming from the palace. It sounded like she was crying very vigorously, but it didn't contain any emotion.
Chai Yan knew who made such a cry without even asking. How could it be anyone else besides Princess Funing!
Chai Yan secretly told me that he was an actor at a young age. What will happen when he grows up?
At this time, Chen Kuo turned his head and said to Chai Yan with a distressed look on his face: "Mr. Chaixian County, did you hear that Her Royal Highness the Princess cried so sadly... Ever since the little naughty boy died, Her Royal Highness the Princess has often cried with tears?
Wash your face, Zajia feels distressed after hearing this, Mr. Chaixian County, you must help Her Royal Highness find the murderer of the cat!"
Chai Yan nodded seriously and said: "Eunuch Chen, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
On the way to Xuan Yi Palace, Chen Kuo had already explained the general situation. "Little Naughty" was the name of the dead cat. Strictly speaking, this cat was not raised by Princess Funing, just because the cat had been in Xuan Yi Palace.
Princess Funing often saw it during activities in this area, but it was difficult to get close to it every time, so she gave it the name "Little Naughty".
Following the cry to the entrance of the palace, Chen Kuo said loudly: "Princess Funing, the man from Chaixian County has arrived..."
The crying inside stopped instantly, and the voice came out a moment later: "Let him come in... Wuwuwu..."
After saying this, the crying continued again.
Chen Kuo turned around and came to Chai Yan and whispered: "Mr. Chai County, the Za family has other things at hand, so I won't accompany you in. Take your leave..."
After speaking, Chen Kuo confessed to Chai Yan, handed over his hands, and left.
"Eunuch Chen, go slowly." Chai Yan bowed his hand to Chen Kuo and said politely, then quietly watched the man leave Xuan Yi Palace.
After Chen Kuo left, Chai Yan did not rush into the palace, but stood at the door and waited patiently. He wanted to hear how long this cry without any emotion could last.
Sure enough, Princess Funing inside didn't see Chai Yan coming in, and her crying suddenly stopped.
Then I heard Princess Funing's cry: "Where are the people? Why don't you come in?"
Chai Yan smiled silently, and then he took a leisurely step and entered the hall.
When Princess Funing saw Chai Yan walking in with a relaxed and calm expression, she asked angrily: "Chai Yan, you really don't take me seriously, and you have to urge me to come in!"
When Princess Funing said this, she remembered the last time she was ignored.
Chai Yan walked to the center of the hall and stood there, calmly clasping his hands and saying: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess. As soon as Chai Yan learned that the Queen had summoned him, he rushed over without stopping. He didn't come in immediately outside the hall just now, mainly because he heard that the princess
His Royal Highness was crying sadly, and Chai Yan was afraid that his sudden arrival would disturb the mood of the Princess..."
"Hey!" Funing immediately pursed her lips. How could she not hear that Chai Yan was mocking her for pretending to cry.
After all, Princess Funing was a ten-year-old girl. She knew that she could not defeat Chai Yan, so she pointed to a corner of the palace and said: "Chai Yan, I already know a lot about you... Now that you are here
Come on, help me look for it and find out which cruel guy killed the cute little naughty guy!"
Chai Yan followed the directions and saw a wooden box on the ground in a corner of the hall. The wooden box was surrounded by flowers. Inside the wooden box was a bloody cat corpse.
Just as Chai Yan squatted down to observe the cat's body, Princess Funing also walked over.
Princess Funing stood behind Chai Yan and said: "The morning before yesterday, I found the body of the little naughty boy outside the palace. I don't know who was so cruel that he imprisoned the little naughty boy in a cloth bag and beat him alive.
Dead......"
Chai Yan frowned immediately, the little naughty man's death was indeed quite tragic.
"Chai Yan, if you can catch the murderer of the little naughty boy, I will reward you heavily!" Princess Funing's tone and expression were very serious and solemn.
Chai Yan did not answer, but continued to stare at the little naughty body, seeming to be thinking about the problem.
"Hey, Chai Yan, did you hear what I said?" Princess Funing felt that Chai Yan was ignoring her again.
Seeing Chai Yan being so rude, a young eunuch who was waiting in the Xuan Yi Palace stepped forward and screamed: "How dare you ignore Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Unexpectedly, before Chai Yan could speak, Princess Funing kicked the young eunuch in the thigh and said angrily: "Did I ask you to speak? Get out..."
The word "ignore" simply means not to open the pot, which is very harsh to Princess Funing.
"Did you hear me? Get out of here!"
As soon as Princess Funing got angry, all the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace quickly withdrew, leaving only Chai Yan and Funing in an instant.
When Chai Yan saw that the palace was quiet, he turned around and asked, "Your Highness, you said that the little naughty boy was beaten to death by being imprisoned in a cloth bag. Did you find the murder weapon when you found the body?"
Funing shook his head and said: "No..."
After only asking this question, Chai Yan fell silent again. Princess Funing said angrily again: "Chai Yan, you dare to be disrespectful to me. Do you believe that I will tell the queen mother soon?"
Chai Yan looked unconcerned. He carefully picked up the wooden box containing the body and inspected it with both hands. He said without looking at Fu Ning, "Whatever, as long as the princess is happy."
"You...hum!"
Funing was instantly angry and didn't know what to do with Chai Yan.
This kind of words are only useful to eunuchs and maids, but have no effect on Chai Yan. It is impossible for the Queen to punish Chai Yan for such a trivial matter.
Chai Yan observed while holding the wooden box, and said to Shangguan Peining in his heart: "Take some blood samples, let's quickly solve this case and leave."
Shangguan Peining asked in a very happy tone: "Chai Yan, are you so anxious, are you afraid of being captured and castrated as a eunuch? Hahaha..."
Chai Yan secretly rolled his eyes and emphasized: "I don't want to mess around with this little girl!"
Shangguan Peining smiled "haha" and then said: "Okay, we have taken all the blood samples, there are two types!"
Chai Yan was stunned and quickly asked: "Two kinds?"
"Yes, there are two types!" Shangguan Peining then explained: "One is the smell of cat blood, and the other is the smell of human blood!"
Chai Yan asked in surprise: "Where did the human blood come from?"
"The cat must have scratched someone on its front paw," Shangguan Peining said calmly.
Chai Yan immediately carefully inspected the two front paws of the little naughty boy. Sure enough, as Shangguan Peining said, there were very inconspicuous blood stains remaining on the tips of the claws.
