Chapter 60 The cell is on fire
Li Beimu faced a dead body for the first time and couldn't help but frown: "What hatred and grudge caused this person to do this? When the murderer is caught, I will cut him into pieces."

Nan Xi's face was equally angry.

She couldn't see a woman being treated like this.

Just like Mi Yingping, there is no dignity even in death.

"Your Majesty, can you still think of some details about the man you saw at that time?" Nan Xi asked, "For example, what color clothes was he wearing? Tall or short? Fat or thin?"

Li Beimu thought carefully, "He should be about half a head taller than me, not fat, very fast, and doesn't look weak at all."

Tang Qingqing, who was next to him, wrote down all of this one by one.

"Master Tang, has the identity of the deceased been verified?"

Tang Jingjing nodded: "Her name is Guan Wanqing. She is the eldest daughter of Guan Yuansheng, a wealthy businessman in the west of the city. She was married a few years ago and was at odds with her husband's family. She just returned to the capital after the divorce a few days ago."

"But the Guan family that Guan Shengyinhao is responsible for?" Li Beimu asked.

Although he has never left the palace, he still knows some names in the capital.

Tang respectfully handed over his hand and said, "Back to the Emperor, it's the Guan family."

Half an hour later, Guan Yuansheng and his second daughter Guan Wanyun rushed over.

"elder sister!"

Guan Wanyun cried and lay on Guan Wanqing's body.

After Guan Yuansheng saw clearly that the body was indeed his eldest daughter, he swayed slightly, but fortunately he was supported by the government servant next to him.

"Sir, I would like to offer a reward of one hundred taels of gold to find the murderer of my daughter." Guan Yuansheng said with a look of sorrow on his face, and raised his hands to Tang Zhongxin.

Guan Wanyun wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, her voice choked with sobs: "Mr. Tang, when can we take my sister's body back?"

Guan Yuansheng also nodded: "Yes, I also want to put Qing'er to rest as soon as possible."

Nan Xi said: "It's not possible yet, her body still needs a second inspection."

"Who are you?" Guan Yuansheng and Guan Wanyun looked over at the same time.

When they saw Nan Xi's birthmark that covered half of his face, they all frowned.

too ugly.

But their upbringing does not allow them to be too obvious in front of others.

So I could only turn around and pay respect to Tang.

Tang Jingjing couldn't define Nan Xi's identity, so he could only say: "Oh, this is a ghost I hired temporarily."

It is rare for a woman to be a widower.

But Guan Yuansheng and Guan Wanyun understood after taking another look at the birthmark on Nan Xi's face.

It's not easy to get married when you grow up like this. You really need to find some way to support yourself.

Nan Xi: "?"

What's going on with your sympathetic eyes?

Guan Wanyun looked at Nan Xi with some dissatisfaction: "Since the autopsy has been done, why do we need a second autopsy? My sister has already died so miserably, how long are you going to torment her?"

In his previous life, Nan Xi had seen too many family members of the deceased like this, some of whom were even more emotional than this.

She explained patiently: "Because many injuries will appear after a period of time after a person's death, a second autopsy is needed so that no useful clues are missed and the real culprit is found as soon as possible."

Guan Wanyun lay on the body and cried again. It was obvious that the relationship between their sisters was very good.

In order to prevent the father and son from being too sad, Tang Jingxin invited people to the back hall of the government office.

"Excuse me, who does Ling Qianjin usually have a relationship with?" Tang Jingzong asked.Guan Yuansheng shook his head: "I only have these two daughters. They are usually a bit arrogant, but their education is not bad. Although they are not gentle and polite to others, they cannot talk about having grudges with others."

Nan Xi and Li Beimu were sitting in the next room and heard their words clearly.

He thought to himself, if Guan Yuansheng knew that his daughter had just insulted the current emperor in the street yesterday, would he still say this?
"Master Tang." Guan Wanyun also said: "My sister has just returned to Beijing not long ago, and it is impossible to have any grudges with others. Yesterday she said she was going to Wan'an Temple to offer incense. It rained at night and she didn't come back. My father and I thought She is staying overnight at Wan'an Temple and will return today, but she doesn't want to..."

Then she began to cry again.

After asking all the questions, Guan Yuansheng and his daughter left.

Nan Xi and Li Beimu just walked out of the next room.

"Your Majesty." Tang Jingjin stepped forward and handed over his hand. "As far as Wei Chen knows, a similar case occurred in Cangzhou two months ago. The crime was committed in a very similar way. Wei Chen thinks it may have been committed by the same person."

Li Beimu frowned and asked, "Why is no one reporting such a vicious case?"

Tang Jingjing replied: "The prefect of Cangzhou has reported it to King Gong."

King Gong is in charge of criminal law, and all cases involving human life must be reported to King Gong.

But it didn't attract his attention.

Li Beimu stood up and slapped the case. Just as he was about to say something, Li Qingmo and Xia Rui pushed the door open and entered.

"Uncle Royal."

Li Beimu seemed to have a backbone in an instant, and recounted what had just happened.

"Uncle Emperor, if King Gong paid enough attention, reported the case earlier and handled the case strictly, maybe Guan Wanqing would not have died. But now the murderer is still unknown, and we don't know if another woman will be killed."

Li Qingmo took the autopsy record and looked at it for a while, then said: "The angle you look at the problem will affect your attitude. When you are in the palace, what you see and hear is only what the ministers want you to know. But now you are outside the palace. It’s like watching chess become a chess player, you can see more clearly how the chess game develops, and you are more qualified to change it.”

Li Beimu understood, "That's why the emperor didn't blame me for leaving the palace without authorization, and asked me to personally supervise the case, right?"

Silence is the answer.

Li Qingmo looked directly at Lan Jue: "Go to Cangzhou in person, investigate the whole story of the Cangzhou case, and then send someone to Qiongzhou to learn about Guan Wanqing's situation at her husband's house."

"Yes, sir."

Lan Jue turned and left.

After solving these matters, Li Qingmo asked again: "Where is the assassin now?"

Nan Xi said: "He committed suicide by taking poison, and his body is over there in the cell."

"Go and see."

Li Qingmo stood up, "Cough cough cough..."

"Master." Nan Xi quickly supported him, "Don't worry, the emperor is fine, and so am I. Lan Jue is very skilled, and the secret guards you sent are here, so the assassins can't hurt us."

Li Qingmo said "hmm" and did not brush away Nan Xi's hand. The two of them maintained this posture until they reached the prison.

Behind him, Li Beimu always felt that something was strange.

The emperor's uncle was fine when he came in. Why did he suddenly start coughing again?

"Xia Rui, you..." Li Beimu was about to say something when another exclamation interrupted him.

"Sir, it's not good!"

A jailer ran to Tang with sweat in his head and said, "Sir, the cell is on fire!"

Li Qingmo glanced over, and Xia Rui quickly flew up and quickly headed towards the cell.

Nan Xi looked at the thick smoke billowing in the distance and had a bad feeling in his heart.
