Chapter 210 This princess thinks she is suspicious and takes her back
"Cao Chunxi, come out here! I'm going to kill you!"
When Xiao Yechen arrived with the officers from the Night Patrol, the fighting had already ended.
Several desperate criminals were killed by the dagger coated with poison. Ning was controlled and became crazy, constantly shouting that she wanted to kill Chunxi.
Wang came back to her senses after hearing Ning's scream. She suddenly rushed towards Ning and asked, "Where's Zheng'er? Where did you take him?"
The young man disguised as Chunxi had already searched the surroundings before returning to Xiao Yechen and whispered, "Pavilion Master, Madam Shen and the child are missing."
Xiao Yechen frowned slightly: "Find someone to draw a portrait of Madam Shen, make rubbings and distribute them, and mobilize all your connections to find her."
"yes."
The people below acted quickly and made rubbings of Chunxi's portrait and distributed it in the early morning. However, two days later, the night patrol said that they had found Chunxi's body and Cao Zheng's body.
The body was found downstream of the stream. After being soaked for two days, it was so swollen that it was impossible to recognize its original appearance.
When Xiao Yechen arrived at the Night Patrol, Cao Wu and Qian had already seen the body.
Qian couldn't bear the blow and fainted, and Cao Wu's eyes were red and he was about to cry blood.
He couldn't see the original appearance of the body and could only judge it by the clothes and accessories on the body.
He was not familiar with Chunxi's current attire, but he was very familiar with Zhenger's little clothes, the silver bracelet on her hand and the longevity lock on her neck.
Cao Wu was so heartbroken that he collapsed and yelled. Xiao Yechen only took a glance and then went straight to the coroner: "Has the identity been confirmed?"
"The age and gender match, and judging by the reactions of the child's parents, it should be correct. However, Lord Shen has not yet returned to the capital, so he cannot come to identify him."
In fact, Cao Wu is Chunxi's elder brother, so it would be possible for him to identify the body, but since Shen Qingyuan was not there, the Night Patrol still did not dare to jump to conclusion.
Xiao Yechen was not familiar with Chunxi and could not make a judgment, so he could only tell Old Madam Xiao about this matter first.
Old Madam Xiao and Madam Xiao were both shocked when they heard the news.
"Chen'er, are you sure that the body is really Ah Xi?"
Madam Xiao asked in disbelief.
Chunxi was full of energy when she came to the Xiao family not long ago. How could she become like this in just a few days?
Yuan'er finally got rid of the reputation of being a wife-killer and married the girl of his dreams. How could he accept this?
"From the coroner's judgment, it should be almost certain, but no one knows Madam Shen better than Lord Shen, and the Night Patrol is still hesitant to make a conclusion."
After Xiao Yechen finished speaking, Madam Xiao immediately looked at Old Madam Xiao.
Judging from the time, Shen Qingyuan should have received the envoys on their way back. With such a big thing happening, His Majesty should agree to let him return early.
If we do this, it will inevitably delay the important matters. This reception of the envoys is a rare opportunity to show our abilities.
Madam Xiao was still a little hesitant, but Old Madam Xiao had already made a decision: "Come here, bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I will write a letter to Yuan'er myself."
Madam Xiao showed a look of reluctance, and the next moment she heard Madam Xiao say, "I don't believe the person the Night Patrol found is really Ah Xi. Mobilize all the Xiao family's connections and continue to search secretly. Keep a close eye on any couples or groups of people with children walking around."
"yes."
Xiao Yechen responded and left.
Although Old Madam Xiao did not believe that Chunxi would be in danger, the news of Chunxi's murder quickly spread throughout Hanjing.
Princess Hengyang came to the Night Patrol Department as soon as possible.
"Princess, the body has been soaked and rotten, and there are many wounds on the body. I have had nightmares for several days after seeing it. Princess, please don't look at it."
The prosecutor rushed to stop it as soon as he received the news.
How could Princess Hengyang, such a noble and delicate person, go to such an unlucky place as the morgue?
Princess Hengyang asked coldly, "The body is completely rotten. How can you be sure it's Shen Qingyuan's wife?"
"I didn't say it was definitely hers, but the clothes and accessories on the corpse were all Madam Shen's, and there was also a child..."
Princess Hengyang interrupted him directly: "Since you are still not sure whether the two bodies are Madam Shen, why don't you send people to continue looking for them? Now the whole city is saying that she was murdered, and you don't care about these rumors?"
Princess Hengyang's voices became louder and louder, and sweat broke out on the inspector's forehead.
There are so many people spreading rumors, how can he take care of it? Besides, the night patrol did find two bodies, one big and one small. Now he says it is a rumor, what should he do if it is confirmed in the future?
The prosecutor was at a loss for words when he heard Princess Hengyang ask, "Have you checked the rest of the Mo family?"
"Replying to the princess, Madam Mo Er has confessed her guilt. She was resentful of Madam Shen because of her daughter's death, so she secretly planned the kidnapping. The rest of the Mo family was unaware of it."
"You believed her when she said she was alone? She was plotting murder every day, and no one in the Mo family noticed anything unusual?"
"this……"
The prosecutor was hesitant to say anything. He had barely uttered a word when Princess Hengyang said, "Madam Shen and I are sworn sisters. Now that she's in trouble and Shen Qingyuan is away, I must make the decision for her. Bring your people with me to the Mo family and I'll question you again in front of me."
Princess Hengyang's tone didn't sound like she was going to the Mo family to question them, but rather as if she was going to search their house.
The prosecutor frowned and reminded: "Princess, I've already questioned you once. This doesn't seem appropriate."
"What's wrong with that? Do I need to go to the palace and ask my brother for permission?"
Princess Hengyang was so firm in her attitude that the prosecutor hesitated for a long time before finally taking his men with him to follow her to the Mo family.
Coincidentally, when the group arrived at the Mo family, they ran into Shen Qingchi.
Shen Qingchi was not as happy as she had imagined when she heard the news of Chunxi's death. Instead, she was stunned for a long time. She was still a little bit unbelievable and wanted to ask the Mo family for more details, but she didn't expect to run into the aggressive Princess Hengyang as soon as she got in the carriage.
Shen Qingchi's heart skipped a beat, but he still walked forward calmly and saluted Princess Hengyang: "Greetings, Princess."
Princess Hengyang had some impression of her. She frowned, looked her up and down, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Princess, this is my maternal grandfather's home."
"So, what are you doing here?"
Princess Hengyang's tone was unfriendly and full of suspicion. Shen Qingchi's breathing stagnated and she whispered, "I heard that something happened to my second aunt, so I came to see."
"Your sister-in-law might have been brutally murdered. Instead of worrying about whether she's dead or alive, you're here to care about the murderer. The key is that the murderer is still in jail. What's there to see here? Aren't you a pregnant woman afraid of getting contaminated?"
Princess Hengyang spoke one sentence after another. Before Shen Qingchi could think of how to respond, she turned her head and said to the prosecutor, "This princess thinks she is very suspicious. Take her back and interrogate her thoroughly."
Prosecutor: “…”
Shen Qingchi: "..."
