"Brother Lin Yi, interrogate her." Shen Yuan said and went out of the prison with Ying Ying.

Soon, the officials brought the suspect, Ms. Li, into the lobby.

"You~~ why did you arrest me? Did I do something wrong?" Ms. Li knelt on the ground, her eyes were full of confusion and fear. Looking at her, she had no memory of what happened after taking the medicine.

Shen Yu'an looked at her softly.

"Miss Li, don't be afraid, tell me in detail what happened after the groom entered the bridal chamber yesterday."

Ms. Li looked at Shen Yuan strangely, not knowing who she was, and seemed to resist.

Lin Yi said solemnly, "This is Princess Ye. She is investigating the case of your husband being murdered in the bridal chamber last night. If you don't cooperate with the concubine to investigate this case, then you will be charged with murder. Beheaded.'

After hearing this, Ms. Li was so frightened that she sat on the ground. She opened her eyes wide and said for a while, "It must be that glass of wine. There must be something wrong with that glass of wine. I don't remember anything after drinking that glass of wine."

"Then is there anything abnormal before drinking?" Shen Yuan asked.

"No." Ms. Li shook her head vigorously, "I was sitting on the marriage bed with my head covered, waiting quietly for my husband to come in. I didn't know how long I waited, but I was a little sleepy after waiting, so I dozed off for a while, and then Husband came in and lifted my hijab, and then we talked for a while and drank some wine. I don’t remember the rest of it.” She didn’t even know the groom died, or how he died.

"That's all I know." Miss Li burst into tears. "Take her back to the prison first." Shen Yuan ordered.

After the suspect was taken away, Shen Yuan and Ying Ying went to Yizhuang to examine the victim's body.

After the inspection, the two left Yizhuang.

Shen Yuan wiped the water from his hand with a handkerchief and said, "The deceased's wound was uneven, and the murder weapon should be the kitchen knife in the bride's hand. In addition, the wine must have been mixed with Mafeisan."

The reason why she came to this conclusion was that the deceased's hands were naturally hanging by his side without any trace of resistance, and the other was that his expression was calm, which matched the characteristics after drinking Mafeisan. '

The shadow answered, "So it is possible that the bride murdered the groom when she was drugged and unconscious."

"It's possible." Shen Yuan nodded, "However, another situation cannot be ruled out. After killing someone, the murderer gave the murder weapon to the bride, and he himself escaped."
"In the latter case, where is the murderer hiding?" Shadow wondered.

"Since the murderer can sneak into the bridal chamber and lay the medicine quietly, there is naturally a place to hide." Shen Yu'an narrowed his eyes and remembered a detail, "I found that the windows at the murder scene were very clean, and the bottom of the bed was also quite clean. Does this mean that the murderer Worried about leaving marks, have you wiped these places?"

After a pause, he added, "Of course, the most important point is that the wounds on the deceased's body were all in the same place. How could the bride's slashing be so accurate in that crazy state?"

"Hiss~~this is~~" After hearing these words, a look of conviction appeared on Shadow's face.

"Then how do we investigate?" Shadow scratched his forehead, "How about examining the corpses of the other victims?"

"There's no need to test it." Shen Yu'an affirmed, "Don't say that people don't give it a test, even if they do, it should be the same situation, heh~~ I suddenly lost my mind. How could it be so consistent?"

After a pause, Shen Yuan continued, "Start with the murdered bridegrooms and see if they have a common enemy or something." "Yes." Shadow nodded, and the two went to the yamen again, taking the other five victims' All the identities and household registrations were transferred out.

After a few days of visits and investigations, we have roughly a clear understanding of the situation of these people.

In one year, the six victims, except for one from a village in the countryside, were all sons of wealthy families in Kang'an City, ranging in age from 24 to [-]. They asked each other whether they knew each other or not.

But they all have a common hobby, going to brothels.

I went to the same brothel, and there was a woman named Yan Luo in the brothel who disappeared after the prince was killed.After a search in the room where Yanluo lived, the hallucinogenic drugs and Mafeisan were extracted from a crevice in a certain drawer.

"Why do I always feel that this Yandiao~~ looks familiar." Shen Yuan held the portrait of the woman, a little confused, "Where did I see it?" The editorial order was issued.

As soon as this matter was settled, He Mang, who was in charge of building the mansion in the east of the city, hurried over to rescue the soldiers.

"Master, a family in the east of the city refuses to move out. I can't convince him even if my saliva is exhausted. Why don't you go and have a look, Princess?"

"Why don't you want to move?" Shen Yuan and Ying Ying followed He Mang to the east of the city. Naturally, a large piece of land was needed to build a palace in the east of the city. Although the enclosed land has mostly vegetable gardens, there are dozens of them. family.

"I don't know, maybe I want the lion to open his mouth and take the opportunity to extort a sum of money." He Mang said.

"This nail shop~~" Shen Yuan muttered.

A group of people soon came to the east of the city and walked outside an ordinary two-entry small house.

"That's it~~It's worth six or seventy taels of silver at most~~ I promised to give him 70 taels of silver, but he still refused at once, because he has too much appetite." He Mang said and slammed the copper button.

"Who is it?" A man's voice came from inside the house, and then the door was opened by a middle-aged man, who glanced at Shen Yu'an and the others, and then said impatiently, "What? My son said he wouldn't move, and you still want to bully him Is it impossible to become a man? Is there any law for the king?"

"Can I talk to your young master?" Shen Yuan said with a smile.

She inspected it just now, it would be fine if this house is located on the periphery, but it happens to be located in the middle of the land, if it is not moved, the palace cannot be built at all.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man looked at Shen Yuan suspiciously.

"This is Princess Ye." Shadow replied, the news that the Yewang Mansion will be built here is well known during this time, and there is no need to hide it.

Besides, Princess Ye's reputation is very good, which might be helpful in persuading them to move away.

"Caomin has seen Princess Ye." The middle-aged man hurriedly knelt down to pay respects, and then he had a look of doubt, "My lady, it's not that my son doesn't want to see you, it's that he is unwell and can't get up from bed, why don't you come back sometime later. .'
"That's a coincidence, I happen to be good at medicine, so I can treat your young master's disease." Shen Yuan walked into the courtyard as he spoke, and the man couldn't stop her, so he let her in.

After entering the yard, he heard coughing from inside the house, and Shen Yuan walked into the house without saying a word.

At this time, the middle-aged man stopped Ying Ying and He Mang, "I'm sorry, you two, please wait outside, lest my son think you are here to threaten him."

"You wait outside." Shen Yuan turned his head and nodded at the two of them, and came to the door of the room.

The door was ajar, Shen Yuan pushed open the door, lifted the hem of her skirt, and stepped over the threshold, but in the next second, she lost her foot and fell into a deep trap.

As soon as she landed, she was caught by a big net, and then a person rushed over and tied her up with a net, and then a cold knife was placed on Shen Yuan's neck.

This scene happened so fast that everyone was caught off guard.

Ying Ying and He Mang immediately controlled the middle-aged man and rushed to the door of the room.

A deep trap was carefully arranged at the door, and Shen Yuan was already under the control of a man at this moment.

"If you dare to act recklessly, I'll cut off her head." The man's voice was so cold that Shen Yuan felt it was indescribably familiar.

"It's you?" Shen Yu'an turned his head slightly, and the corner of his eyes glanced at a delicate face, "So all of this is a trap set by you? You deliberately targeted me?"
