Just when Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan were about to interrogate them, groups of imperial guards came forward to surround the three of them!

Lu Qingfan's actions alarmed the imperial guards. Everyone thought that Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan were the thieves. They faced each other with spears. The leader of the imperial guards shouted loudly and asked: "Bold! Who is using force in the palace?"

Lu Qingfan's identity was revealed by his fourth-grade minister of justice's belt, and Yun Xi also presented him with the token from Chengqian Palace.

"Your Excellency, please be patient. The daughter of the people is Yun Xi, a concubine of the Ministry of Justice. Today she was ordered to enter the palace to nurse the imperial concubine back to health. When she was passing by the Imperial Garden, she tripped over a corpse and was pushed by the murderer."

Saying that, Yun Xi pointed at the person at Lu Qingfan's feet: "Thanks to the chance encounter with the adults, I was able to subdue him, otherwise he would have run away."

The Royal Forest Army confirmed the authenticity of the token, and after listening to Yun Xi's straightforward explanation of the cause and effect, they realized that they had wrongly blamed the two people.

He politely returned the token and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Chu Zhao, the situation was urgent just now. There were many misunderstandings and I offended Mr. Lu."

Lu Qingfan nodded and said it didn't matter.

Chu Zhao, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, knelt down to take a look and recognized the person at Lu Qingfan's feet: "Lord Niu?"

The man covered in filth and lying on the ground gnawing mud hurriedly nodded: "It's Niu!"

Chu Zhao looked at Lu Qingfan's black gold boots and said calmly: "Master, why don't you put your feet back first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingfan had already stopped his steps, acting calmly and calmly, without any consciousness of "beating" the imperial official.

Come to think of it, Lu Qingfan is someone that even Marquis Yan can beat at his request.

Yun Xi looked at the man who got up from the ground in surprise, "Sir?"

"Exactly, this person is Lord Niu Shufeng of the Hanlin Academy." Chu Zhao coughed slightly and introduced: "Is there any misunderstanding about this murder case?"

I'm afraid not.

Yun Xi said with a serious face: "Commander Chu, be careful what you say."

"The body is still there, you can tell by looking at it." Lu Qingfan was not one to talk too much, so he took the lead and strode forward.

Chu Zhao didn't dare to stay, so he half dragged and half dragged Niu Shufeng to the Imperial Garden.

After a while, Yun Xi, Lu Qingfan, and the Yulin Army led several people and saw the corpse on the ground again.

Chu Zhao, who often walked around the palace as a guard, once again recognized the deceased on the ground: "Master Bao?"

His expression suddenly changed, this was troublesome.

One is Niu Shufeng, the son of a bachelor of the fifth rank of the Hanlin Academy; the other is the son of Mr. Zhan Shibao, a young master of the third rank.

The Hanlin Academy is a close official of the emperor, and the Zhanshi Mansion is in charge of the concubines and the general affairs of the prince's palace... Both parties cannot afford to offend.

"Since there is a murder case in the palace, I should report it to the emperor immediately." Commander Chu Zhao politely clasped his fists and prepared to go to the imperial study.

Yun Xi opened her mouth and wanted to ask Commander Chu to wait a moment, but she felt that she was just a white-clothed man, and it was hard for her to make the dignified guard commander obey her orders, so she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Lu Qingfan lowered his head and glanced at the little girl who was hesitant to speak, and chose silence.

Chu Zhao walked a few steps, then turned around and came back: "My subordinates are confused. Since the Minister of Punishment is here and Yun Zuozuo is also there, if I don't find out something, I will inevitably make an oversight even if I report it."

crime."

Yesterday Chu Zhao was on duty as commander, but he had no idea that someone had committed an murder in the palace. Even if he reported it to the police, he would still have to be punished. But if the oversight comes first and the investigation becomes clear later, then it will be a waste of merit, and the situation can be saved.

Lu Qingfan squinted his eyes and smiled slightly: "What Commander Chu said is absolutely true."

Yun Xi couldn't help but curl her lips. No wonder Lu Qingfan didn't stop Chu Zhao from going to report it just now, because he expected Chu Zhao to turn back just now.

"Yun Wuzuo, let's examine the body." After Lu Qingfan ordered Yun Xi, he said to Chu Zhao: "Commander Lao Chu sent someone to deliver a message to Chengqian Palace."

To help Chu Zhao solve the case, the right person should run errands.

Yun Xi was ordered to enter the palace to recuperate the health of the imperial concubine, but now that she is not in the palace, she must have an excuse.

"I've already sent someone to deliver the message." Chu Zhao was a smart man. When asking for help, he should be sincere and considerate.

Lu Qingfan thanked him and strode into the scene of the crime.

Yun Xi had already opened the small bundle, took out the transparent sheepskin gloves and began to examine the body.

The man on the ground was just over 30 years old and had an obvious impact injury on the back of his head. Yun Xi followed the blood stains and saw that the sharp edges of the stone in the corner were stained with blood.

Yun Xi sniffed the deceased's mouth and nose again, and used tweezers to pick out some physical evidence...

As the autopsy progressed, Yun Xi had already taken out his surgical knife and prepared to perform a caesarean section on the spot.

Chu Zhao had already heard about Yun Xi's name, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately surrounded the imperial garden with the imperial guards, and no one was allowed to get close, so as not to disturb Yun Xi's autopsy and Lu Qingfan's investigation of the case.

He is just a martial artist, really not good at using his brain. At this moment, he has no other choice but to wait.

Here, Yun Xi began to conduct an autopsy, while Lu Qingfan was walking around the scene of the crime. The messy footprints and overturned flowers and plants all told the story of the serious dispute between the two drunkards last night.

After comparison, it was confirmed that the footprints belonged to the deceased Bao Meng and the criminal Niu Shufeng.

As soon as Lu Qingfan walked to the edge of the forest, he heard the frightened Niu Shufeng say: "...The two of us were talking about compiling history books yesterday, and we started drinking happily while talking."

Niu Shufeng and Bao Meng are good friends, and their relatives have been in contact with each other for a long time. Yesterday, both of them were compiling and proofreading history books, and drank some wine to refresh themselves.

The two of them were drunk, and the more they drank, the more they talked, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. When they disagreed, they got into trouble.

"When we got excited, we pushed each other! He, he pushed me too!" Niu Shufeng, who became more and more panicked as he talked, kept shouting: "He pushed me too!"

"Let's get to the point." Lu Qingfan emerged from the dense forest in another corner, and his eyes fell on the embarrassed Niu Shufeng.

Niu Shufeng was frightened by Lu Qingfan. He couldn't help but trembled and said: "I can't remember what happened next. I only remember that I had a splitting headache when I was awake. I was looking for someone when I found Mr. Bao."

Already fell in a pool of blood."

As for how the two pushed each other, how they hit Bao Meng's head, and whether Bao Meng asked for help during this period, Niu Shufeng has no idea.

The only memory he had left was that he was frightened when he saw the corpse.

"Later, the official met that gangster." Niu Shufeng glanced at Lu Qingfan scornfully: "The remaining two people knew about it."

Lu Qingfan nodded, accepting what Niu Shufeng said.

Chu Zhao, who listened for a long time, felt that what Niu Shufeng said was correct and he must be the murderer.

He ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on Niu Shufeng, avoided everyone, and pulled Lu Qingfan to the side, "Master Lu Shilang, since the confession is correct, how about we..."

Why don't you hurry up and deliver a mission to the emperor?

"I would like to ask Commander Chu, was there anyone who corroborated what Niu Shufeng said yesterday? Did he meet anyone else during the alliance? While Niu Shufeng was drunk and fell into a coma, was there someone who took advantage of the situation and killed Baomeng and then framed the blame?"

Lu Qingfan asked three questions in a row, all of which focused on Chu Zhao's knowledge blind spots.

The tall, strong man's face turned red and he was so ashamed that he could not speak for a long time.

At the end, Lu Qingfan glanced sideways at Chu Zhao: "Commander Chu doesn't want to ask for any explanation."

"Master Lu has taught you a lesson. It's because my subordinates are eager to solve the case." Chu Zhao was wrong. No matter what Lu Qingfan said, he could only hold his nose and admit it.

Lu Qingfan said nothing more, but silently observed the movements on Yun Xi's side.

With so many imperial guards turning their backs to Yun Xi, the little girl focused on the autopsy as if no one else was watching. The sword stained with blood and oil was going in and out of the deceased's body, and others would feel sick just by looking at it...

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingfan kept watching her flipping hands back and forth attentively, not letting go of any clues left by the deceased in this world, just to help him redress his injustice.

The little girl's beautiful profile was so charming under the morning light.

Everyone waited for about half an hour before Yun Xi put the removed organs back into the deceased's abdominal cavity, then sutured the traces left by the scalpel and gathered the evidence...

After everything was done, Yun Xi took off her transparent gloves and walked up to Lu Qingfan and his party.

Next to him, Chu Zhao honestly held a basin of hot water and said: "Shilang Lu said that Yun Wuzuo needs to clean his hands before he can say the conclusion of the autopsy."

Yun Xi was speechless after hearing this. She looked at Lu Qingfan who looked matter-of-fact and nodded seriously: "Thank you, Commander Chu."

Lu Qingfan narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.

What a good girl, you won't make trouble at all.
