The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 144 The crime scene
Yu Qiansi straightened up and turned to him, seeing that he was staring straight at the vacant door with a difficult expression, but she didn't urge her.

The silence between the two gave birth to Xia Chong's sorrowful sound, and the small noise in the courtyard made the silence even better, and even the sound of clouds moving could be heard.

After a while, Boyi took a step forward and slowly opened the door. The dust that had been sleeping for ten years was dancing and churning in the air because of the unwillingness of the two late-night visitors, forming long white streaks under the moonlight that just appeared.

Boyi only felt that his heartbeat was already loud enough to send out memories in this ghostly mansion-like courtyard, but he couldn't restrain himself.

The wooden boards under his feet turned into soft haystacks, he seemed to be a little unsteady every time he took a step, his face was extremely pale, but he still led Yu Qiansi into the room.

Back then, just a few days after the incident happened here, the first emperor died, the war to protect the country was defeated, and the new emperor ascended the throne. One after another, they were the only people who set foot here again after the incident, except for the murderer.

Boyi took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Yu Qiansi. This is the situation in the house that he drew recently based on the words of those who witnessed the incident that day.

After the Prayer Hall was refurbished, everything inside and outside the hall was made of wood.Since the incident, although the room was ordered to be cleaned thoroughly, the palace people were too busy to take care of themselves, and there were too many bloodstains left on the scene to be cleaned up, so those palace people only did a simple cleaning, and now under the moonlight, it is still possible to see the blood stains on the floor of the house that have been integrated with the strips of wood.

Yu Qiansi looked at the blueprint in his hand, and listened to Boyi's description of the day's situation one by one.

"Each house in the line of the Praying Hall has an outer hall and an inner room, separated by a delicate and elegant green gauze cabinet filled with scriptures. This room was used as the residence of the imperial concubine, and the mother's residence is next to the imperial concubine, which is closer to the main hall."

The two of them were standing in the outer hall at the moment, the green gauze cupboard leading to the inner room was half open, and they could see an inch of the inner room, the moonlight squeezed in through the window, leaving strange and strange white traces on the ground.

"According to those who witnessed the scene at the time," he pointed to the gap through which the inner room could be vaguely seen, and said, "The imperial concubine was lying on the table in the middle of the inner room, with scars all over her body, and even drenched her favorite snow-colored velvet blanket from the Western Regions. The green gauze cabinet was closed tightly, and my mother passed out in a place not far from the green gauze cabinet in the outer hall. There was blood on her hand, and a blood-stained dagger was thrown beside her, which was the murder weapon that killed the noble concubine."

"And the whole house, whether it's the windows or the only door, was locked from the inside."

At that time, the auspicious time had passed for a long time.All the female scholars who were selected to enter the palace to pray because of their horoscopes gathered in the courtyard, but they had not seen the empress who presided over the ceremony for a long time, so someone found the fresh blood handprint that was still slowly sliding down the window screen, so a bold woman stepped forward to push the door, only to find that the door was locked.

One of the toffees was highly respected and worried that things would go wrong, so she had no choice but to bear the pressure of "causing ominousness" and asked the guards to force open the door.

Boyi looked around, but he didn't find the bolt that was broken into two parts after being knocked open.Then it occurred to me that these little things were naturally thrown away.

Yuqiansi followed what he was looking to the inner room, thought of something, once again frowned, looked at Bo Yi, hesitant to speak.

But for him, as the memories unfolded step by step, the importance of those surging secrets that had been buried in the hearts of many people for more than ten years overwhelmed the incomprehensible fear in his heart and suppressed the thunderous thunder in his heart. He gradually calmed down, stood in the center of the outer hall, pointed to the surroundings one by one and began to explain in detail, for fear of missing a detail.

Most of the furnishings in the outer hall are still there, but some of them are decayed, withered and messy.

Yuqiansi compared the paintings on the picture one by one, and found that the current furnishings here are consistent with the paintings.

Ever since she set foot on the long corridor outside the row of houses, she had thought about it, so she closed the picture and followed the bloodstains on the ground to check the furnishings.

The wooden boards under her feet groaned with her footsteps, like the wheezing sound of an elderly person having to carry a heavy load.

With dissatisfaction, but also the remembrance of Shaohua's passing and intestinal soreness and liver pain.

Sure enough, under the corner of a table, a group of blackened bloodstains were found, and such bloodstains hidden in the dark were more or less present on everything in the outer hall.

"They also mentioned that when they returned here after the incident, and the guards who bribed the guards checked, they also found these strange bloodstains, which I marked with rouge."

After the incident happened that year, Empress Mingde was imprisoned in the palace. She naturally realized that she had been tricked and worried that the murderer would turn back, so she sent some of them back to the scene and recorded everything in detail.

"What did the empress say at the time?"

"She said that when the auspicious time was approaching, she went back to her room to take a shower and change clothes. As soon as she entered her room, she felt a strange fragrance after closing the door, and fainted after walking a few steps."

When he was woken up again, it was the scene that was discovered by everyone.

Bo Yi lowered his eyes and pondered, how did the murderer manage to move his mother here from his own house, and then lock the door and leave?

"Before she fainted, did she notice the prayer beads all over the floor?"

Boyi shook his head slowly but solemnly: "No, there were only beads scattered in the outer hall at that time. If she had them before she fainted, if she touched them accidentally when the house was not lit, no matter if she kicked or stepped on them, she would naturally be aware of it. It is also because of this that when she woke up and found the beads all over the floor, she would feel that there was something wrong, so she secretly hid one."

Hearing this, Yu Qiansi was a little irritable, she couldn't help turning the Yuli Qiankun in her hand, and let it make a crisp but inspiring sound, which stirred up the stagnant and stale air here, and became a little more disturbed.

Empress Mingde, like herself, also found prayer beads all over the floor after waking up.At different times and in different places, crimes are committed in secret rooms, and there are Buddhist beads scattered all over the place
This case is actually not difficult, at this moment she already has something to worry about.I'm afraid it was an unsolved case back then because it involved the empress and the noble concubines in the palace, and it was a special period.

She felt a little lost and anxious.She thought that this case would lead her to find some clues about her father's case, but she didn't expect that it was just the same beads.

She was a little annoyed, why did she have no clue about the one that concerned her after investigating so many cases? !

Is the method different?

No.

She clenched her fists suddenly, and the crisp impact of Yuli Qiankun stopped abruptly.

The method must be different.

She looked back at the door of the outer hall.

This is a bolted door, so this method can be used.But the attic was locked back then, so it was impossible to use this method.

Boyi noticed that Yu Qiansi's breathing became rapid, and then returned to silence as the universe in Yuli suddenly became quiet, as if she had turned into a ghost at this moment and melted into the air here.

Since this rosary is related to a mysterious organization, it will definitely not appear here out of thin air. If the truth of the case can be found, maybe some clues can be found.

With a direction, it seems like a solitary lamp is lit like a bean in the dark, but it is the hope in the heart of the traveler.

She stepped out to confirm her conjecture.

Go out and turn left, the next door is the residence of Empress Mingde.

Boyi didn't expect her to move suddenly, and followed her out, and saw her push open the door of his mother's room, with an inconceivable but expectedly contradictory expression on her face.

He hurriedly followed to take a look inside, and was also startled: "Where's the stuff inside?"

The entire outer hall was empty, ten years later, the traces of those furnishings were also buried by old dust, it was no different from other places, and it was impossible to see how these furnishings were placed before.

But Boyi remembered that those people had mentioned that because his mother mentioned that he fainted in his own room, they also checked together.Didn't find anything like Mixiang, let alone the slightest abnormality.

Later, all attention was focused on the crime scene.

The crime scene is separated from here by a wall, and the corridor outside this door can be seen at a glance. There are guards on duty for many days after the crime.Later, the turmoil at the border affected the palace, and they left here.

The palace people who cleaned up at that time didn't even clean up the murder scene, let alone this room?
Could it be the murderer?
"Naturally the murderer," Yu Qiansi pursed her lips tightly, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a mockery, as if talking to someone from the past through the dust stirred by her in front of her: "Of course everything here was destroyed by the murderer."

It's a bit bold.

After all, she kept walking and headed towards the next room on the other side of the crime scene.

But Boyi, who was in a daze, didn't know what she was doing, but he heard the word "murderer" in her mouth.

The heart in his chest was beating violently again.

This time, with excitement and fear, there are many complex emotions that cannot be explained clearly.

"You said 'murderer'?" He turned around and looked at Yu Qiansi, who had already walked to the door on the other side of the crime scene, and confirmed again softly: "You said 'murderer', is there really a murderer?"

Yuqiansi had already pushed open the door on the other side at this moment, looking at the empty blackness inside the door, she smiled confidently.

"Actually, since I saw the bloody palm print just now, I noticed the abnormality. In addition to what you said just now, I think your persistence is right. The murderer back then was indeed someone else."

Then, she closed the door that she opened roughly, and stood facing Boyi.

The clear moonlight was once again half-covered by thick clouds, but she was still struggling to let go of the silk gauze, which now gathered around her body, making her whole body exude a hazy brilliance.

"Empress Mingde is innocent, not only that, but now I also know how the murderer did it."
