Chapter 260 Back to Beijing Again
In early March, Ji Yingying was forced to return to the capital. There was no other way; the Emperor, the Emperor Emeritus, and even Minister Gong were all extremely anxious.
After all, Ji Yingying not only missed the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony, but also had a lot of official duties piled up.
Last year we said we'd get them some new gadgets, but before we even started, they've already gone off to play.
"When do you think it will be a long time before we go back this time and go out to play again?"
"I don't know, but they'll be on guard against you to prevent you from running away again. Be careful."
"Are you guarding against me?"
[Heh... Nobody's like you, getting things done halfway and then abandoning them to go play.]
[Who said there aren't any? Many are like this; you're the only one who hasn't seen them, you country bumpkin!]
Xiangxiang:…………
When it doesn't speak!
On her way back to Beijing, Ji Yingying encountered a serial murder case, and the victims' deaths were particularly bizarre.
She was resting at the yamen when the county magistrate, looking mournful, came to find her late at night. As soon as he saw her, he knelt down.
"My lord, nearly fifteen people have died in this case. I really have no other choice. Please help me solve this case."
"What case is it?" Ji Yingying asked him to bring the file over, and after reading it, she was shocked!
They were scared to death!
Some people say that the deceased saw a skull in the air before he died.
After reading it, Ji Yingying immediately gave it to Mu Kaiji, saying that he was very suitable for solving cases.
"You handle it, I won't get involved. If you've said you'll take care of your retirement, then you really should."
"All right!"
[Xiangxiang, do you think this is a projector?]
Yes, to find out the details, let's go see the deceased and then look at the autopsy!
Ji Yingying sighed helplessly: "Brother, I'm leaving. Don't miss me too much. If you think I can't solve the case, you can come and laugh at me, and then come and help me solve the case."
"Don't worry, I'll only cheer you on. I would never laugh at you, because you are very strong!"
"No! You're wrong. I'm not powerful. The powerful person isn't me."
Ji Yingying eventually went to see the body, but before she even reached the morgue, she encountered a doctor.
"Brother Zhang, you're actually here?"
"Yes, I'm here. You've been out sightseeing again?"
"Yes, yes, I'm out traveling. I ran into Brother Shang a while ago. Brother Shang is so busy. I hope we can meet again in the future."
[That's great! They're all shining in their respective fields now. This group of people isn't forcing love on others; they're a great group of people, very talented!]
"Okay, when Ji-mei grows up, we might be able to have a drink together!"
"No problem, let's go. Let's take a look at the body. I need to deal with it quickly; the new emperor keeps urging me to go back."
"good."
After examining the body, it was clear that the person had indeed died of fright, but had not seen the murderer before dying.
Ji Yingying also found it difficult to deduce who the murderer was!
“These people are all in their 40s. We should investigate who they offended when they were young. Hmm, do they know anyone? Or did they bully one person or a group of people at the same time?”
Ji Yingying quickly looked at Mu Kaiji, whom she hadn't seen for several hours.
"Oh, our detective brother still came. I knew you still love me."
Those standing nearby felt embarrassed, but Ji Yingying didn't look like his wife at all.
"Hey, what are you all doing? This is my brother. I guess it's too late and he was worried about my safety going home, so he came looking for me, right, brother!" Ji Yingying noticed that everyone's expressions weren't good, and Xiangxiang reminded her.
Let me explain this to everyone.
"Oh... I see, Brother Ji, hello!"
"His surname is Mu, you can just call him Brother Mu. This is the very skilled doctor I told you about. He has now switched to forensic medicine."
"Forensic doctor?" The doctor didn't understand what this meant, but he seemed to understand it somewhat!
"It means a coroner."
"Oh, I understand!"
“Write down everything my brother just said; it might be the key to solving the case.”
Ji Yingying packed up and prepared to go back with Mu Kaiji. It was late at night, and it was time to go home for dinner.
"Little sister, if you can't eat..." The doctor was worried that a young girl like her wouldn't be able to eat after seeing a corpse, and was thinking of prescribing her some calming medicine.
"Don't worry, I can eat it. I'm not a delicate flower, you can't scare me. By the way, don't worry about my medical skills, they're about the same as yours. If you want to compete with me, I can accept the challenge."
After saying goodbye, Ji Yingying went back.
[Host, I know who the murderer is.]
Who is it? I'll have someone arrest them immediately.
[It was a gang crime. Go to the Jiang family's house; there's a wealthy family there named Jiang. There's a secret room in the study with evidence inside.]
Could you please explain what exactly happened?
The Jiang family wanted to activate a powerful formation to enhance their fortune. However, they were misled into believing that the formation would activate after a fierce ghost devoured the souls of seventy-six people, thus bringing them great prosperity.
So, the people trying to mislead us said we should use a skull?
Yes, this is a new type of scam. If you don't believe me, let me tell you, the person who scammed the Jiang family made a lot of money.
What about the Chiang family's fortunes?
[They were already well-off, wealthy, and influential, with a naturally good family fortune. They were easily misled and did bad things.]
[Heh, serves him right!]
[Go and arrest them!]
"Let's arrest him tomorrow. It's too late tonight. Let's do it tomorrow. I want to eat and go to sleep."
Even though she refused to go, Mu Kaiji arranged for people to arrest her. After all, her true feelings had been revealed, and if they didn't arrest her, the other party would either target Ji Yingying or take the opportunity to escape.
After Ji Yingying finished eating and fell asleep, Mu Kaiji led his men to arrest people using her identity token.
The doctor also got involved, but was terrified when he saw that it was the princess's token.
"Brother, is Sister Ji really a princess? Which Princess Protector of the Nation?"
"Yes, that's right. She just loves to play, but this is the age when people love to play." Mu Kaiji chatted with him for a few minutes and then went back.
When Ji Yingying woke up the next day, she learned that Mu Kaiji had used her identity to arrest people the day before.
Moreover, they made the right arrests; the entire Jiang family was brought back, as well as the Taoist priest who had bewitched people.
At first, Grandpa Jiang denied it, but in the end the Taoist priest admitted it, and he could only cry and say that it was not their fault.
Ji Yingying listened in and watched the nearly eighty-year-old man cry like a child, and couldn't help but chuckle!
See? The older they get, the more childlike they become, doing things without any restraint.
As for how it scared someone to death, Ji Yingying had someone cover it up herself. The skull was just a silver ornament and nothing serious.
"Look, Magistrate, this is real crime-solving. You should learn from this, you know?"
"Understood, Your Highness!"
"Okay, take a day off and we'll head back to Beijing tomorrow." Ji Yingying was about to go back to her room when Mu Kaiji stopped her.
"The carriage is outside, let's hurry up and go!"
