Chapter 393: Stretch Out Your Hand
"That's right. There's a notice clearly posted. If my sister goes to check, there won't be any loss to the Princess's Mansion. She doesn't let my sister check because she's probably afraid that if she finds out, she'll be a suspect." Jiang Jingyan figured it out.
"Second brother, you have made progress." Jiang Yunxi teased.
"How can I not make any progress by following you?" Jiang Jingyan said proudly.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
Still quite good at speaking.
Shen Yutang came over quickly, accompanied by Mrs. Shen.
"Miss Yun, I hope you can help the Princess's Mansion. Mother has agreed to let you investigate. Now the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Jingzhao Yin are all in the Princess's Mansion. You can investigate together." Madam Shen said in a very good attitude.
The Imperial Master arrived at the Princess's Mansion yesterday, but after one night, someone still died in the mansion.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi agreed readily. She would certainly not miss the opportunity to enter the Princess's Mansion openly.
…
The Princess's Mansion.
When Jiang Yunxi and the others arrived, the mansion had already been decorated to look like a funeral. They estimated that once this incident happened today, the people in the imperial capital would talk about it behind the scenes, wondering who made the Princess's mansion so weird.
Mrs. Shen still let them stay in the previous guest house.
Jiang Yunxi let Mo Mo Mian Mian play in the yard while she went to the mourning hall to perform an autopsy. Shen Ling died in the same way as Shen Yu and Shen Lang, without any other symptoms.
"My Ling'er, how could you abandon your mother, Ling'er, Ling'er..." The third wife, Ji, lay on the coffin and cried bitterly. In the morning, the maid came to report that he was lying there and had not gotten up.
She had a bad feeling in her heart.
Because according to Miss Yun Xi, someone would die today, but she never expected that the person who died would be her eldest son.
"Mother, my eldest brother has passed away. You must take care of yourself." A girl about fourteen years old next to her took Ji's hand and advised with a choked voice.
"Ling'er, Ling'er..." How could Ji remain calm? Lying in the coffin was her proud son. She had clearly instructed him carefully last night to go to bed early.
But he never woke up from this sleep.
Jiang Yunxi looked at Shen Yutang, "Where are the Minister of Justice and the others?"
"It's in grandma's yard. I'll take you there." Shen Yutang said. She had not gone to her grandma's house since she entered the mansion.
Jiang Yunxi nodded.
Jiang Yunxi brought Zhan Beiyuan with him. Zhan Beiyuan wore a mask on his face because he was afraid that the ministers of Tianqi would recognize him. He had been to Tianqi as an envoy of Tenglong Kingdom before.
When they arrived.
There were a lot of teacup fragments on the ground, which were obviously smashed by the eldest princess. Three middle-aged men stood beside her with their backs bent, not daring to get angry or speak.
"Grandma, Miss Yunxi is here." Shen Yutang walked to the eldest princess and said softly.
The eldest princess looked at Jiang Yunxi and saw that her eyes were red and she looked much more haggard than yesterday, with an unrelieved sorrow in her eyes.
"Miss Yun, I shouldn't have thought that you were incapable and placed all my hopes on the Imperial Master. Who knew that Shen Ling passed away this morning?" After saying that, she rubbed her chest with a handkerchief, looking as if she couldn't breathe.
"Princess, do the three adults have any clues?" Jiang Yunxi went straight to the point and didn't want to say any polite words to her.
The eldest princess suddenly raised her head, glared at the three adults with a sharp gaze, and said coldly: "They are a bunch of good-for-nothings, there is no clue at all."
Minister of Justice: “…”
Dali Temple: "..."
Jingzhao Yin: “…”
They also wanted to have clues, but the things happening in the Princess's Mansion were too strange. There was really no trace of murder, so they had no idea where to start the investigation.
"In that case, let me investigate this matter alone. I will catch the murderer within three days." Jiang Yunxi issued a military order in front of several people.
Three days is enough.
"Find it within three days? Are you so sure, young lady?" There was naked contempt in the eyes of the Minister of Justice. He was so arrogant at such a young age that he dared to promise to find it within three days.
She wanted to see where her ability came from.
"Miss, there is no clue at all. Don't say anything just to leave a good impression in front of the princess." The Dali Temple Minister said coldly with an expressionless face. Her words were clearly a slap in their faces.
"We have been searching for more than a month and have found nothing. How dare you promise to find out in three days?" Jingzhao Yin was furious. Where did she come from to be so arrogant?
"Three days is three days. Why don't you three adults come back and check the situation in three days?" Jiang Yunxi said calmly, hoping that the body parts could be found successfully this time.
"You can go now." The eldest princess said in a deep voice with a dark face.
Minister of Justice: “…”
Dali Temple: "..."
Jingzhao Yin: “…”
As they left, they glanced at Jiang Yunxi coldly, with an expression of obvious dissatisfaction on their faces. They wanted to see if she could find the real murderer in three days.
After they left, Jiang Yunxi looked at the eldest princess and asked, "Princess, have you ever had a deep grudge against anyone?"
People in the mansion: "..."
Perhaps she was the only one who dared to speak to the eldest princess like this.
"I am the eldest princess of the Apocalypse Empire. I behave in an arrogant and domineering manner, which has displeased many people, but none of them dare to go against me." The eldest princess sat upright, with an intimidating sense of oppression all around her.
"Why don't you, Princess, think carefully about whether you have bullied anyone in particular?" Jiang Yunxi continued to ask.
"No." The eldest princess said directly.
Jiang Yunxi stared at her for a while, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely find the murderer in three days and restore peace to the Princess's Mansion. I'm leaving now."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Zhan Beiyuan followed.
The two men did not return to the guest house, but found a good excuse. In order to find the murderer, they wanted to look around the mansion. Of course, finding the murderer is one thing, and finding the body parts is another.
Madam Shen immediately arranged for someone to take them to see it. Although the one who died this time was the eldest son of the third room, she still had two sons. She had to protect them and didn't want to see her son die before her.
It took a whole morning.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan walked around the Princess's Mansion. Of course, they didn't go into some places because they were not allowed to enter.
"Have you found anything suspicious?" Zhan Beiyuan asked.
"Yes, let's go check it out tonight." Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly. She finally understood why she couldn't find anything in the Princess's Mansion, and no one else could find anything either.
Someone must have used the power of her dismemberment to cover up everything.
"I'll go with you." Zhan Beiyuan said. He also found a place, which was a pond in the big garden of the Princess's Mansion.
Jiang Yunxi nodded and walked towards the guest house in a very good mood.
Zhan Beiyuan followed up, "Do you have any suspicions about the murderer?"
The reason why she said three days was because they needed time to get the body parts, otherwise she might catch the murderer.
Jiang Yunxi turned and looked at him, "Do you have any suspicions about anyone?"
Zhan Beiyuan: “Yes.”
"Who is it?"
"Put your hand out."
Jiang Yunxi stretched out her right hand towards him. Zhan Beiyuan grabbed her fair and soft little hand and wrote on her palm.
