Chapter 222 Could it be
"It's strange. After the coroner examined them, he still didn't know how they died. There were no wounds on their bodies and no signs of poisoning." Qu Xinwen said puzzledly.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
Such a strange death?
"What is Lord Qu doing here in the palace?" Zhan Beiyuan walked out. He thought Jiang Yunxi had already left for the Duke Yong's Mansion, but he didn't expect her to still be at the door.
"Greetings, King Han. I have a new murder case..." Qu Xinwen said hurriedly.
"Why are you looking for Jiang Yunxi when there's a murder case? She's not an official of Jingzhao Prefecture and has no obligation to help you handle official business." Zhan Beiyuan said unhappily.
He didn't want them to bother her all the time, so if they really wanted her help, they had to be sincere.
"Prince Han, I came to find Miss Jiang because the deceased were her adoptive parents and a woman named Cheng." Qu Xinwen said quickly, otherwise he would not dare to come to the palace to trouble her.
The waiter immediately reported the body to the police after discovering it.
When the three bodies were carried out, the people were all watching. Soon someone recognized them and said that he had seen them in front of Jiang Yunxi's fortune-telling stall the day before. The couple were her adoptive parents.
Another woman shouted that Jiang Yunxi was her daughter-in-law.
He quickly sent people to the Duke of Ying's Mansion. After the Second Young Master Jiang arrived and confirmed their identities, he ran to the Prince of Han's Mansion to find Jiang Yunxi.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Jiang Yunxi looked at Qu Xinwen with a smile and said directly, "If you encounter a difficult case in the future, you can come to me and pay me."
Qu Xinwen's face was full of joy. "Okay, thank you Miss Jiang."
"Take me to see their bodies." Jiang Yunxi said. She wanted to see how they died. Judging from the expressions of Yang Xiong and Xu Lanhua last night, they were planning to go out and spend money.
Death in the inn means that they died after returning from enjoying themselves outside.
"I'll go and take a look too." Zhan Beiyuan said. The deceased was related to Jiang Yunxi, so he had to go after something like this happened.
…
At the entrance of the charity cemetery.
"Sister, you're here." Jiang Jingyan came here following the corpse. He learned that Lord Qu had gone to invite Yun Xi, so he came here to wait for her.
He didn't expect these three people to die.
The day before yesterday they went to the Duke of England's mansion to ask for money and release. Yesterday the couple came to the Duke of England's mansion again, and the mother gave them two hundred taels of silver to settle the matter.
But this morning the waiter found them dead in the house.
When he arrived at the inn before, the people were talking about it, and some even suspected that the Duke of Ying was secretly killing people. When he heard this, he was very angry.
The Duke of England gave them two hundred taels of silver. Is it necessary to kill someone for this little money?
Do you have any brains? You just rant!
"I'll go check the body first." Jiang Yunxi said and walked into the charity cemetery.
Qu Xinwen asked the officer to lead the way.
When Jiang Yunxi saw the three bodies, he put on gloves and examined them. Just like the coroner, they had no wounds on their bodies and were not poisoned.
He wasn't suffocated or drowned.
She looked into their eyes again and they all had one thing in common.
"They must have seen something horrible and were scared to death." Jiang Yunxi said thoughtfully after taking off his gloves.
"Scared to death?" Qu Xinwen widened his eyes. It was the first time he heard of such a way of death.
Others: “…”
Jiang Yunxi walked outside quickly. "They died at 6:15 PM. Cheng died a little later. Did anything of theirs get lost?"
Qu Xinwen said, "The bundle is all there, it hasn't been turned over, and the banknotes and silver are all there too."
Jiang Yunxi stopped and said, "In this case, we can rule out the possibility that the perpetrator was motivated by money."
On the way here, she was still wondering if the Yang couple had been too ostentatious after getting the money yesterday and had been targeted. She didn't expect that the money was all there.
They had just arrived in the capital, so they should have no enemies.
It was obvious that the people who killed them were not doing it for money.
Could it be that they were too arrogant when they went out spending money yesterday and offended someone, which led to their murder? Otherwise, she really couldn't understand who wanted to kill them.
"That's strange. I heard from the people that they arrived in the capital the day before yesterday." Qu Xinwen looked at Jiang Yunxi and said.
"That's right, they came to Beijing specifically to find me. They were at my fortune-telling stall that day. Am I also a suspect?" Jiang Yunxi teased.
Qu Xinwen's mouth twitched slightly, "I believe Miss Jiang."
Zhan Beiyuan was satisfied with what he said, "Master Qu, you are sane."
Qu Xinwen: “…”
After all, I have been dealing with Jiang Yunxi for some time. She can redress the grievances of ghosts, so how could she kill people for no reason? What's more, even if she wanted to kill, there was no need to do it in the capital.
Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
"I want to see the room where they died." Jiang Yunxi said.
The deceased was related to her, so she should find out. Although she didn't like the Yang couple, there was no deep hatred between them, and she didn't want them to die.
Now she was suddenly frightened to death for no apparent reason, and she wanted to know what was going on.
"Okay." Qu Xinwen nodded. It sounded unbelievable that the deceased was frightened to death. He had arranged for someone to check the room before, and there were no signs of fighting.
Now that I think about it, I was really scared to death.
What is it that can scare a person to death?
Could it be... a ghost?
Otherwise he couldn't think of anything else.
…
There were officials at the door of the inn, and many people were standing nearby, all talking about it. The death of three people at once was no small matter, and naturally attracted attention.
When the shopkeeper saw another person coming, he immediately went to greet him. The case had not been solved yet, and the government wanted to preserve the crime scene, so there were officials guarding here. He was afraid that business would be bad for the time being.
Plus people died.
How unlucky he is.
Jiang Yunxi went upstairs and first went to the room where Yang Xiong and Xu Lanhua lived.
"Miss Jiang, when we arrived, they were lying on the bed as if they were asleep. There were no signs of a fight in the room. You think they were scared to death? Could it be a ghost?"
Qu Xinwen thought about it and decided to speak his mind. In the past, he would never have thought this way.
Jiang Yunxi did not speak immediately, but checked the room carefully, and finally came to the bed. The bed was not messy at all, and there were no signs of struggle.
It seems that the Yang couple were awakened from their sleep and were frightened to death.
What could have frightened them to death?
"Sir Qu, what you said is very likely, but it is impossible for them to offend ghosts when they first arrived in the capital." Jiang Yunxi said seriously.
"This, this, this is difficult to investigate..." This was the first time that Qu Xinwen encountered such a strange thing. If it was for money, it would be easy to find the murderer.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him and said frankly, "Either a ghost was trying to scare them to defend me, but they died without being frightened. Or someone deliberately used ghosts to scare them to death to make me suffer criticism."
"I ran into them last night at the entrance of this inn. If they had provoked someone bad, they could have just killed them. There was no need to kill Cheng."
So apart from those two situations, she couldn't think of anything else.
