Chapter 426 New Clues
Here, Xixi was completely absorbed in her own thoughts, her clear eyes sparkling with curiosity about the unknown and a desire to explore. She did not notice the strangeness in Qin Qixuan's expression, and was still racking her brains over this seemingly confusing case.
The surface of the case was complicated, like a tangled mess, making it difficult to find a clue. However, Xixi firmly believed that behind this seemingly disordered mystery, there must be some kind of pattern, a key to cracking it. No matter how clever the method is, there will always be clues left. This case also has a breakthrough point that has not yet been discovered.
"This deceased royal relative," Xixi thought to herself, "he is undoubtedly an important clue to solving this mystery." With her sharp insight, the identity of this royal relative was particularly special, completely different from other unidentified dead. She keenly realized that starting with this royal relative might reveal the mystery of the case and point the way for the investigation.
Qin Qixuan stood quietly by, gazing deeply at Xixi who was lost in thought. He heard Xixi's thoughts and understood her persistence and passion for the case. He sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness on his face. It's not that he hadn't tried hard on this case, and he even used all his power to investigate this royal relative in depth. However, the result was disappointing, and he did not find any valuable clues.
Despite this, Qin Qixuan was still moved by Xixi's persistence. He reached out and gently rubbed Xixi's hair, his eyes full of affection and care. Although he no longer had much hope for this case, seeing Xixi so devoted, he decided to accompany her to face this challenge again. He said softly.
"Xixi, since you are so interested in this royal relative, I will take you to see his body."
Xixi heard this, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked at Qin Qixuan excitedly, nodded, and then followed him to the place where the bodies of royal relatives were placed. On the way, she silently sorted out her thoughts, hoping to find clues hidden behind the mystery from the body.
Originally, Qin Qixuan was full of worries. He was afraid that Xixi would feel frightened and even have psychological shadows after seeing the corpse. But to his surprise, when Xixi faced the lifeless body, she did not show any fear on her face. On the contrary, she was unusually calm, and her clear eyes revealed her desire and determination for the truth.
Xixi carefully observed the corpse, her eyes swept from the head to the toes, not missing any details. She seemed to be looking for some clues, hoping to find the key to crack the case. However, after a careful inspection, she did not find any obvious abnormalities on the corpse.
Xixi pondered for a moment and decided to release Beibei, as it might be able to bring her more information.
[Beibei, go and bite him and see if you can find anything.]
Xixi ordered softly, her voice full of expectation.
Although Beibei was a little reluctant, it stared at Xixi, then glanced at the corpse, as if weighing something. But in the end, it still obeyed its master's orders obediently, approached the corpse carefully, and took a light bite on it.
At the moment Beibei bit down, Xixi's eyes flashed white, and the last impression of this royal relative before his death suddenly emerged in her mind. It was a clear picture. In the picture, this royal relative was talking to someone, and that person was actually General Fu Yan?
Xixi was stunned, she couldn't believe her eyes. Why is it General Fu Yan? What is his connection with this case? Countless questions emerged in Xixi's mind.
"Ah? Why is it General Fu Yan?" Xixi thought to herself, and asked Qin Qixuan in confusion, with a bit of confusion and surprise in her voice.
Qin Qixuan did not seem surprised, he said lightly.
"General Fu Yan... I checked him before, he is indeed innocent and has no suspicion. More importantly, he has no motive to kill anyone." His voice was calm and firm, as if stating an indisputable fact.
Xixi felt a little relieved after hearing what Qin Qixuan said. She also agreed with Qin Qixuan's view. After all, General Fu Yan had a prominent position in the capital and was upright and selfless. How could he kill people secretly? What's more, she had had several contacts with General Fu Yan and knew his character and conduct.
However, despite the comfort in her heart, Xixi still couldn't let it go completely. In the memory of this royal relative, the most suspicious thing was undoubtedly the last person he saw before his death-General Fu Yan.
Apart from this doubt, the other deceased in the case did not seem to show obvious common characteristics. The police have carefully collected and recorded their death information. In the detailed case files, the identities, ages, occupations, etc. of these deceased were different. The only thing that could be barely regarded as a commonality was that they were all orphans. However, this does not seem to provide too many substantive clues for the case.
[Can we say that the murderer hates orphans? ]
Xixi laughed bitterly at herself. She felt that this inference was not only untenable, but even a bit absurd. After all, using the identity of an orphan as a motive for murder was too strong.
The investigation of the case seemed to have reached a deadlock. Although Qin Qixuan felt a little disappointed, he remained calm and rational, believing that there would always be a day when the truth would come out. Xixi seemed even more anxious and headache. Her heart was full of doubts and unwillingness, and she was eager to uncover this mystery.
In order to find new clues, Xixi decided to read the thick files again. She read carefully word by word, not missing any details. Finally, after a long time of reading and comparing, she found a strange record - in the known death list, there was unexpectedly one person missing!
[I remember that in this case in the previous life, in addition to these known deaths, there should be a palace maid who died. ]
Xixi murmured in her heart, and her memory gradually became clear.
[After the death of the palace maid, the person who was originally in charge of the investigation died suddenly and strangely, and the case eventually became an unresolved mystery. ]
However, although Xixi has recalled this important information, she can't remember the specific identity of the palace maid. She tried hard to search in her mind, trying to find the blurred figure, but her memory was like a layer of fog, which made her unable to touch the truth. This frustration made Xixi feel very frustrated, but she knew that she could not give up. This missed palace maid might be the key to solving the whole case.
