There are a few points to confirm... Framed crisp asked: "what is it?"

Huaiqing pursed her lips, paying attention to Xu Qi'an and thinking about what he would find. But at the moment, I didn't find the same important clue in my heart.

"If the imperial concubines were insulted, why would they not be called for help? Let's go downstairs first... You go and call all the maids and servants in the hospital. "

The last sentence is to the little leader.

They immediately went downstairs and gathered all the servants and maids in the courtyard of Qingfeng hall, a total of 12 people, four maids and Eight maids.

"Listen, this is Mr. Xu, who is authorized to investigate the case. He is in charge of the murder of Fu Fei. Mr. Xu has something to ask you now. You must answer every question you ask, and you must not hide it. " Small head eyes sink a voice way.

"Yes

The crowd bowed their heads.

The little leader nodded with satisfaction and looked at Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an locked a pretty maid in the palace and waved, "come here."

The little maid bowed her head and stepped forward.

"A little more."

Before the little maid came to Xu Qi'an, he whispered a few words, and then said, "go."

The little maid trotted into the attic.

What is he doing?

The little eunuch who framed and supervised was at a loss, while Huaiqing was thoughtful.

Xu Qi'an looked around at the rest of the palace maids and servants, and said, "I ask you, why didn't the palace maids serve in the attic when Princess Fu had an accident that day?"

The palace maid and the servant looked at each other, some of them were too timid to speak.

Xu Qi'an's pupil light is a Li, scold a way: "all conceal not to report, know not to report, regard as the suspect that killed Fu Fei, remand to beat more person jail."

"The little eunuch did not dare to come near the attic," he said

Dare not go near the attic?

Xu Qi'an feels that he has found Huadian. A man enters Fu Fei's bedroom, but the people in the courtyard dare not get close to him. What does that mean?

It shows that there is grassland above the head of emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty.

Xu Qi'an looked forward to it in his heart.

The little eunuch explained: "Princess Fu loves to drink. When she drinks too much, she often beats and scolds the servants in Qingfeng hall. We're afraid of disaster. When the empress drinks, we're far away. "

"Every time?" Xu Qian asked.

"Yes, there are no exceptions." The little eunuch replied.

"When did it start?"

To this question, the little eunuch mumbled for a moment, shook his head and said: "the slave went into the Qingfeng hall, so did the empress Fu."

White cut chicken, your qualifications are not good... Xu Qi'an swept the crowd and asked, "which is the maid of honor."

"It's a maidservant..." an older maid in waiting.

"You answer my question just now." Xu Qian stares at her.

"This, this..." the old maid hesitated and said: "it was OK a few years ago. In these years, the lady's character became more and more strange. She often stood alone in the attic and didn't know what she was looking at.

"When drinking, she likes to recite some poems which are sad for spring and hurt for autumn..."

what she said is very obscure, probably because she dare not talk about fufei or the emperor's family affairs. But Xu Qi'an and Huai Qing are smart people, understand the implication.

This is the sorrow of a lonely woman... Alas, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty is not a son of a human being. There are so many beautiful harem beauties. They are so hot and beautiful that they even go to practice Taoism and even abstain from sex. In other words, I will never give chicken a day off. Xu Qi'an sighed and asked:

"on the day of the accident, did anyone hear Fu Fei's cry for help?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Xu Qian didn't make a statement. He looked to the attic and nodded slightly.

The crowd followed his eyes. On the observation platform stood the little maid who had just entered the attic. At Xu Qi'an's instruction, the little maid immediately closed the lattice door of the observation platform. Suddenly, there was a faint cry for help.

To this step, brain melon seed is not too clever mounting, also understand the meaning of Xu Qi'an.

"Son of a bitch, you dare to lie. The call for help is so clear." Mount mount angry way.

The people in the yard were startled and quickly explained.

Xu Qi'an pressed his hand and motioned them to be calm for a while. Then he turned his head and told the little leader, "lift out the broken guardrail...

then he looked at the old maid of honor and said," you stay, others step down. "

The old maid in waiting was a little flustered, her hands agitated uneasily.

"Little father-in-law, you go to the outer court first, call you later, and then come back." Xu Qian thought that the little eunuch, who was not very knowledgeable, refuted. He planned to bring Huaiqing and Lin'an out to crush people.

As a result, the little eunuch didn't say anything and left willingly."What did you find?"

After waiting for people to leave, Huaiqing took the lead in speaking.

the cold and arrogant Princess Royal Highness has her own reasoning. Just now the maid in the attic cried for help, though it could be heard outside, though very faint.

Then there are two possibilities: first, fufei didn't call for help at all. 2、 Princess Fu is under control.

"How about the cultivation of the prince?" Xu Qian asked.

"I've practiced martial arts for several years, and I'm very skilled in archery, horse riding and shooting." Huaiqing replied.

Oh, it's a weak chicken... Xu Qi'an nods.

The prince's cultivation is in the realm of Refining Essence, which is understandable. For a prince, it is a top priority to carry on his family and extend his descendants. What is personal martial arts? The emperor doesn't need to fight.

Secondly, whether they can face beauty is also a major test.

In particular, as the prince, the prince is surrounded by beautiful maidservants. I'm afraid it's hard for him to keep his body like jade when he was young and impulsive.

Xu Qi'an thinks that only a person with great perseverance can keep his mother and child single for 19 years.

"Although the prince's cultivation is shallow, it's very easy to be strong to a weak woman, so maybe Princess Fu has no chance to ask for help at all." Xu Qian Road.

"My prince brother will not do such a thing." Mount mount immediately retort, this is her as a sister, the last stubborn.

Xu Qi'an didn't respond to the mounting of steamed stuffed buns with a round face. He looked at the elder maid in court with a sneer and said, "didn't you tell the truth just now?"

There was a little panic in the maid's eyes. She waved her hand and said, "what I said is true. I'm not lying. Please tell me."

"I didn't lie, but I didn't say it all, did I?"

"if you don't have enough patience, I'll tell you that you don't have to be patient."

These little maids and eunuchs are thoughtful and timid, and intimidation is the best way.

The maid bit her lip and said, "your Highnesses, Mr. Xu, please follow me."

She turned into the attic, Xu Qi'an and Huaiqing, Lin'an behind.

Back in the attic, the maid of honor went straight to the bottom of the bed, pulled open a big wooden box, and took out a small wooden box from under the old clothes.

The maid of honor bowed her head and offered the wooden box timidly.

Xu Qi'an took it, opened the wooden box and saw what was inside. There were two words in his mind: Wuhu!

If it were not for Lin'an and Huaiqing, he would blow a boastful whistle.

Inside the wooden box lies an object carved from jade. It is 15 cm long and 4 cm in diameter. With a naughty head and a slender figure.

When Xu Qi settled down, he understood why the maid in waiting hesitated and did not dare to say.

It's forbidden in the palace, worse than Xiao Liu Bei in women's boudoir. Morality is one of the reasons, but most importantly, it's the palace.

Does the emperor want face?

Once found out, it's hard to get into the cold palace, and it's hard to get down to a lower position.

So, when Fu Fei drinks and loses her temper, she will not only complain about the imbalance of her wife's mentality, but also make love with her fake husband. Of course, this kind of thing can't be seen by the servants. Except for the maids who are close to her, all the others will be driven out. Fortunately, Lao Tzu has driven out the little eunuch, otherwise Yuanjing emperor will have to kill me... Poof, he was turned green by the fake things, ha ha ha.

Xu Qian almost couldn't help laughing.

"What is this?" Princess Lin'an frowned.

Xu Qi'an looks at her, and then at Huaiqing. Princess Gao Leng's face is expressionless, and she focuses on examining "Yu Ruyi", with confusion in her eyes.

No, no, Lin'an is illiterate. Princess Huaiqing, who is full of poetry, would rather not know her? You don't even watch chungong?

Xu Qi'an coughed and explained, "it's a man's life."

Lin'an "ah", scared back a few steps, round face rose red, neck and ears are red through.

Xu Qi said with peace of mind, is this frightening? There is a bigger way to be humble.

Princess Huaiqing drew back her eyes like an electric shock, turned her head, and her white face was flushed.

"Fu, Fu Fei, she... She even hid this kind of thing. No, I'm not ashamed. Put it away quickly..." Lin'an stammered.

Don't get excited. Maybe there is one under your mother's bed... Xu Qi'an closed the box and handed it back to the maid of honor, saying: "take it back, don't dirty the eyes of your two Highnesses."

The maid of honor obeyed.

Xu Qi'an asked, "was it on the bed or in the box when fufei fell off the building that day?"

"It should be in the box." Said the maid.

If there is such a thing on the bed, it will not be written in the dossier. Xu Qi'an nodded and asked, "the missing maid in waiting for Fu Fei, just like you?"The maid nodded.

"Well, go down."

After waiting for her to go out, Xu Qi'an sat at the table, regretting that she could not take "Yu Ruyi" for the test, and analyzing it to the two illiterate princesses:

"on the day when Princess Fu fell from the building, the servants in the hospital did not hear the cry for help. There are two possibilities: either the prince controlled her, or princess Fu was willing to have an affair with the prince."

Huaiqing shook his head: "if it's a willing affair, why are there signs of resistance and struggle in the room?"

As soon as you see, you have no experience... "Xu Qi'an said with a smile:" there are still two situations: first, Fu Fei was unwilling at first, so she resisted, but the prince coerced her in some way.

2、 Sometimes it doesn't have to be in bed

The two princesses blushed and spat at the same time.

"Why did Princess Fu fall? You said, "she was pushed down." Huaiqing questioned.

"I can't answer this question for the time being," Xu Qi'an said, "on the day of the incident, fufei drank wine, so the next thing she has to do is to take out" yuruyi "and talk about * *.

"If I'm the prince, I can use this coercion to achieve a long-term relationship. Fu Fei's body is long and wide. Maybe she'll push it half way. There's no need to push her downstairs. Even if the prince wakes up and wants to kill people, it should not be after the end, because men are the most calm and will not be impulsive in sage's time.

"There's another doubt. As soon as Fu Fei wants to do that, she drives out the palace maids and servants in the attic. It's not reasonable to send the palace maids to invite the prince, unless they have already had an affair.

"But according to the investigation of the three law departments, as well as the confessions of the servants and maids in the palace, Princess Fu had no contact with Prince su."

"That is to say, my prince brother was really wronged." The mounting eyes are shining.

"It's not a small possibility, but it's not time to come to a conclusion." Xu Qi'an nodded.

Huaiqing asked, "how do you see that the maid in waiting has something to hide?"

She has a pair of clear and beautiful eyes, staring at Xu Qi'an tightly. It's like asking for advice, but I can't save face.

Xu Qi'an said: "people's expressions and body movements can expose their inner feelings to a certain extent. They are more honest than their mouths."

Huaiqing Xiu frowned: "I have never seen a book recording this kind of knowledge."

"It's my own research."

Huaiqing nodded slowly, some admire: "you are really a genius to solve a case."

... in fact, the most important thing to solve a case is not talent, but experience and knowledge. Without these things, even if you are a genius of reasoning, you will not be able to enter the threshold. Xu Qi'an said with a smile, "Your Highness, I praise you."

At this time, the little leader of the bodyguard called downstairs: "Mr. Xu, the things are coming."

Xu Qi'an immediately got up and said: "the following is to verify my conjecture. Maybe it will be known immediately how Fu Fei died."

Three people came downstairs, Xu Qi'an took the guard hand broken guardrail, carefully check the fracture, repeatedly check.

He was lost in thought.

Red skirt and white skirt tacit understanding did not disturb.

Despite the mounting skirt under a pair of small feet kept trampling, showing anxiety.

Because Xu Qi'an said just now that the death of Fu's concubine will be known immediately. It's about the innocence of the prince's brother. She's very anxious.

But I still dare not disturb his thinking.

"Go, go to the ice cellar. Please go to the eldest princess and ask for a Mammy Xu Qi'an left the Qingfeng hall with all the people. Huaiqing asked the guards outside the hall to invite the old mother.

When they came to the ice cellar, they left guards, including Xu Qi'an, Huai Qing, Lin'an, the little eunuch and the old mother who supervised them. Five people went into the ice cellar and saw the body of Fu Fei again.

"Please remove the clothes from Fu Fei and turn her over." Xu Qian Road.

Old mammy hesitated, but she turned her back intuitively. She then looked at Princess Huaiqing with inquiring eyes, but didn't look at Lin'an.

Huaiqing nodded and said, "do as Mr. Xu said."

A few minutes later, Mammy said, "I'm done."

Xu Qi'an turned back. Fu Fei was naked and lying on the board. Her pale back was covered with body spots, but she didn't want to see anything.

"Yes." He nodded.

Leaving the ice cellar and arriving at the side hall, Lin'an couldn't wait to ask, "how's it going? How did Fu Fei die? My prince brother is innocent

Xu Qi'an looked at the little eunuch, then swept the two princesses, and said in a deep voice: "Princess Fu should have fallen into the attic by herself."

"How can I see it?" Huaiqing brow tip a pick.

This result surprised everyone.

"The fence in the attic of Qingfeng hall is not rotten, it's very strong. If Fu Fei was pushed down, her back would be bruised when she broke the guardrail.

"But just now, after the test, there was no long bruise on her back. Only body spots and falling buildings produce massive silting marks. " Xu Qian Road.Huaiqing pondered: "but she really broke the guardrail and died... Do you mean someone did something on the guardrail?"

Xu Qi'an nodded: "in addition, after fufei fell from the building, she drank wine. The maid in charge of Qingfeng Hall said that she often looked at the scenery from the lookout tower... I guess she was looking at whether her Majesty would come. Of course, it doesn't matter.

"The important thing is that people will instinctively lie down or lean on the guardrail after drinking. Fufei fell from her back, so she should have been leaning against the guardrail, but the guardrail was tampered with, so she fell and died.

"I asked just now that Yu Ruyi was not taken out at the time of the incident. That is to say, Princess Fu used Yu Ruyi immediately on that day... Well, you know. Therefore, the possibility that she will stand on the lookout tower is very high.

"When doing autopsy, the words that have not been violated can also be used as evidence. The maids in the palace of Qingfeng didn't hear the cry for help, because fufei didn't encounter rape at all, so naturally she didn't have to call for help. "

Huaiqing and Lin'an suddenly realized that the latter was really happy, because the prince's suspicion suddenly lightened a lot.

The former is lost in meditation, chewing and aftertaste of Xu Qi'an's analysis, just like a Xueba digesting the content of a teacher's lecture.

The little Eunuch in charge of supervision bowed his head and tried his best to write down every word of Xu Qi'an silently. Later, he would report it to Godfather.

Hearing this, the old lady interjected: "this adult, it's also the old slave who tests the body of Fu Fei. It's not Wuzuo."

"Oh, it's Mammy. That's just right. I still have some details to ask. "

He took the old Mammy to one side and said in a low voice: "Mammy, do you judge whether you have been raped according to the man's shipment or...

he asked the question in a low voice.

The old lady whispered, "it fits perfectly."

"Oh, that's the official book." Xu Qi said with peace of mind that she was better at driving than me.

In this way, it is more certain that Fu Fei was not defiled, but really died in an accident, an accident carefully arranged by someone.

Since it's not the intention, then the prince's suspicion is very light.

After getting the confirmed answer, Xu Qi'an said, "the only one who can do this is the maid in waiting."

Of course, the palace maids will not kill Fu Fei and frame the prince for no reason. This is a problem that can be understood by mounting.

"Who will be the one who instructs the maids?" Framed looked at Huaiqing, eyes full of distrust.

Huaiqing sneered, and the mounting immediately shrank behind Xu Qian.

She was too lazy to see Lin'an in the same way. She frowned and said, "how can the messy marks in the room be explained?

"Before fufei fell from the building, the maid in waiting could not disturb the room in front of her. After fufei fell from the building, she immediately attracted the attention of Her Highness Qingfeng. "

"Maybe Fu Fei's temper was very bad, so she messed up the room. It can also be a drink problem, such as hallucination Xu Qian explained.

Unfortunately, we can't dissect Fu Fei, so this conjecture can't be confirmed.

"Let's call it a day. I want to go back and think about it and sort out the case." Xu Qian Road.

He can't say he's slack.

Send Princess Lin'an back to Shaoyin yuan. Seeing Princess Huaiqing waiting outside, Xu Qi'an goes by tacitly.

They walked forward in silence, but the guard didn't catch up and fell behind.

"I didn't expect that as soon as you made a move, there was a breakthrough in Fu Fei's case." Princess Huaiqing praised.

"This case is not difficult. At least it is not difficult to prove that the prince is innocent." After a few seconds, Xu Qi'an said:

"it seems that San FA Si is not in a hurry to prove the prince's innocence."

Xu Qi'an has always felt that the reasoning knowledge and criminal investigation methods of this era are backward, but it can not be denied that there are still a lot of talents in sanfasili.

The fufei case is not as detailed as the tax and silver case, nor as weird as the Sangpo case, nor as brain burning as the Yunzhou case. There are not too many means of practice in it.

It's difficult to prove the prince's innocence, but it's not impossible.

Princess Huaiqing looked ahead and was silent for more than ten seconds. She said faintly, "there are two possibilities: first, the real murderer is the prince. 2、 The crown prince was framed. "

Xu Qi'an gave a "um".

"If the prince is the real murderer, he will be abandoned. As soon as jingcha was over, there would be a struggle for the foundation of the country. Neither his father nor the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wanted such a thing to happen. Moreover, he will be hated by the crown prince party and make enemies in vain.

"If the crown prince is framed, who in the harem has the ability to frame the crown prince? The third division is even more reluctant to offend. At the end of the day, it's still my father's business. "

Xu Qian's direct answer: "all princes who can inherit the throne of the East Palace are possible."

Huaiqing said: "but the most suspect is my brother and my mother."

Because the fourth Prince is the eldest son, first changed.
