Mrs Wei?
"The princess's guards are all going to chase the man in black."
Just as everyone was curious, Mu Tinglan's voice came from behind. Everyone was shocked when they heard this. When they looked back, they saw Mu Tinglan standing intact beside Mrs. Wei, with the abbot of Da'en Temple, Master Jieyan. In addition, there were Master Jieyan, or Gu Heng, who was invited by An Chengye.
After An Chengye knew something happened, he quickly asked Xiao Si around him to inform Gu Heng. Gu Heng was a member of Chengtian Mansion after all. Although it was just an experience, as Gu Heng's friend, he knew that Lord Liu liked Gu Heng very much and liked to bring Gu Heng by his side in any case.
Gu Heng wanted to say that Lord Liu did not like himself at all, but liked to cause trouble for himself.
Otherwise, he would not be his turn to investigate the case, a small official in charge of cashier documents.
"Mu Tinglan, you, you shouldn't be there." Chu Mo'er said subconsciously, but she almost realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly changed her words and said, "Mu Tinglan, you, you're fine."
Mu Tinglan smiled slightly. The words were really stiff, and she was a little embarrassed for her.
"Is something wrong? Why are everyone outside my room?" Mu Tinglan asked in confusion.
Gu Heng, who was standing on the other side of Master Jie Yan, couldn't help but look at her, but didn't say a word.
"Princess, where have you been?" Chu Ran looked at Mu Tinglan with scrutiny. "A man in black suddenly appeared in the East Courtyard and alarmed everyone. My mother and the others were worried about the princess, so they came to the room where they lived, but they did not see the figure of the princess. Instead, they found a body in the princess' room."
"Corpsy?" Mu Tinglan seemed to be scared and shook her body. Fortunately, Mo Xiang and Mo Yan were holding it, otherwise they would think Mu Tinglan would fall down the next moment, "How could this happen?"
"Miss, don't be afraid, everyone is here, it's okay." Mo Xiang quickly comforted her.
"Second sister is not afraid, everyone is here, not afraid." Mu Yaoguang said comfortingly, "It's really great that second sister is okay. I'm really scared to death just now."
Mu Tinglan looked at Mu Yaoguang with emotion, "I know, thank you, sister."
"It's just that the princess is not in her room. Where did she go when she is late at night?"
"I was ready to rest before, but I heard the sound outside, and the guards went to check the situation. However, after they left, another black shadow flashed by. I was so scared that I didn't dare to stay in the room by myself, so I took the girl to find someone. When I went out, I saw that only the light in Mrs. Wei's room was still on, so I went to find Mrs. Wei."
Mrs. Wei?
Everyone looked at Mrs. Wei, but Mrs. Wei was not there before.
Mrs. Wei nodded, "That's true. I was copying scriptures, so the princess came over with the girl. She looked very panicked. After asking, she realized that there was a man in black, so the princess was left behind. But later she heard a lot of noises, but when the girl went out to check, she saw someone. The princess and I were very scared. So even if we heard everyone's voices, we didn't dare to come out until we plucked up our courage to let the girl come out to see the situation. After knowing that something happened, we came over quickly. On the way, we met Master Jie Yan and Lord Gu."
This sounds reasonable. If there are many movements, everyone will be afraid, and they are even more afraid. Moreover, the guards are still being led away, so it is natural to find a shelter. In the East Courtyard, where the lights are already turned off, there is only one room with the lights on. If they are to go to find the room with the lights on, they will also want to find the room with the lights on. In the dark, light always represents hope.
Moreover, two women will be afraid when they are together, and it is reasonable not to dare to come out when they hear the movement.
What's more, everyone knows that Mrs. Wei is the kind of person who can't lie. With Mrs. Wei's testimony, there is no reason for everyone to doubt anything.
But Chu Ran's eyes were still full of suspicion when he looked at Mu Tinglan, while Chu Mo'er's eyes were full of unwillingness.
"What's going on with the people in the princess' room?" Chu Ran said, "Was there no one in the room when the princess left?"
Mu Tinglan couldn't help frowning when she heard this, "What does the prince mean? Could it be that I wanted to kill the person in the room?"
"Criminal Chu, don't go too far. Now a corpse suddenly appeared in our lady's room. If our lady killed someone, how could it be left in the room?" Mo Xiang said loudly, "I know that Prince Chu and Miss Chu have never liked us because of the previous incident, but we can't just accuse us for nothing, right? This was the same the day before yesterday, and it was the same tonight."
"Mo Xiang, don't be rude." Before Chu Ran spoke, Mu Tinglan scolded, "Crown Prince Chu, Mo Xiang is like this to protect me. If there is any collision, please forgive me."
Mu Tinglan said this. If Chu Ran really cares about it, he will really be decent. "You are polite. This prince should apologize. This prince does not mean to doubt the princess. I hope the princess will not misunderstand."
"I know." Mu Tinglan said, "But I really don't know what the corpse in the room is, let alone how can I, a weak woman, kill someone?"
"Crown Prince Chu, nothing we say about this matter is useless. Let's wait until Lord Liu comes." Mrs. Wei said, "It just so happens that Lord Gu is here too. Why don't you let Lord Gu go in and check it first?"
Lord Gu?
To be honest, except for a few people who know about this, I have never heard of anything else. It is because Lord Gu is too famous and is too low-key in normal times.
"This is Lord Gu of Chengtian Mansion." Mrs. Wei pointed at Gu Heng and said.
"Princess, Prince Chu, and Brother Gu is just an experience in Chengtian Mansion, but he has always been with Lord Liu and is very good at investigating the case." An Chengye said, "Let me let Brother Gu go in and check it first."
Chu Ran knew a little about Gu Heng. After all, An Chengye often talked about him, but just an experience, can he investigate the case?
"Amitabha, I immediately asked someone to protect the scene. If there is any problem, just ask." Master Jieyan said, obviously he wanted Gu Heng to investigate the case.
This is Da'en Temple, and except for the matter, it will naturally be solved by Da'en Temple. Since Master Jieyan said this, they didn't say anything else, but retreated outside and asked Gu Heng to go in and check it out.
Gu Heng, who had never expressed his opinion, walked into the room under the gaze of everyone. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a scent and saw the dolls placed on the bed and the person covered in blood on the ground.
His eyes flashed slightly, and then he walked around the corpse to the edge of the bed. He took out his handkerchief and put it on the puppet, and picked it up. The puppet was written with blood on it. This was a very vicious curse method, and it was placed directly in the room where Mu Tinglan lived. If it was normal, it could be seen that the murderer was arrogant and vicious.
Putting the doll down again, Gu Heng squatted down and began to check the corpse. The death was no more than half an hour. The cause of death was that someone used a sharp weapon to penetrate into his neck, and then he died of excessive blood loss. Gu Heng looked at the side and another hairpin with blood at the foot of the bed. This should be a weapon. When he saw if there were any other scars on the corpse, Gu Heng also found a purse from the corpse's clothes. The purse was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and there was also the word "Mo" on it.
When Gu Heng saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The word "Mo" is the word "Mo". Among the ladies in the capital, there seems to be few names with the word "Mo", and one of them is at the door at this moment.
However, judging from Chu Mo'er's previous performance, he felt that Chu Mo'er really hoped that something would happen to Mu Tinglan.
When Gu Heng checked the scene, Mu Tinglan couldn't help but feel weak. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly surrounded and took Mu Tinglan to Mrs. Wei's room. Mu Yaoguang wanted Mu Tinglan to go to his room, but Mu Tinglan seemed to think that Mrs. Wei's room was safer, so they could only go to Mrs. Wei's room.
Mrs. Wei didn't find it strange, just said that Mu Tinglan might have been with her before, so she thought her side was safer and more reliable.
