It has to be said that Luo Xue Ning always finds the key to the problem as soon as she opens her mouth. Long Mo Xun nodded, Luo Xue Ning completely guessed what he meant.

"Yes, two years ago, the concubine of an official in Jingzhou was suddenly found dead in her own yard. At that time, all the blame was directed at the official's wife. However, because the final evidence was not enough to convict, the Six Gates took over the case and directly released the suspect, but the real murderer was never found. The case was also listed as one of the unsolved cases by the Six Gates."

Long Moxun paused for a moment, and seeing that Luo Xuening was listening attentively, he continued.

"Coincidentally, two months later, another official's concubine was found dead in her own yard, and the cause of death was very similar to that of the first victim. After that, a homicide occurred in Jingzhou every two months. The victims were all concubines or mistresses of officials of the current dynasty, and the bodies were all buried in their own yards. So we classified this serial homicide as a closed-room murder case. This is the thirteenth body we have found."

Long Moxun briefly described to Luo Xuening the whole story of the closed-room murder case, and Luo Xuening frowned after hearing it.

Two years have passed and thirteen bodies have been found, but the murderer has not shown up yet. Moreover, the murderer specifically targeted the concubines of officials, so his purpose must be more than simple. This case is more complicated than she had imagined.

"However, Your Majesty, since the interval between the murders is two months, and the time of death of the body is still uncertain, I think we cannot arbitrarily link this case to a serial murder case."

As soon as Luo Xuening finished speaking, a coroner came forward. The white-haired coroner bowed slightly to Long Moxun and handed the results of the examination to Long Moxun.

"Your Majesty, our preliminary judgment is that the deceased has been dead for more than a month. There are no obvious external injuries on the deceased's body, and there is only a small mark of strangulation on the neck. We found a red rope in the deceased's yard, which should be the murder weapon."

The coroner took out a long thin red rope. Long Moxun took the so-called weapon and his expression became more serious.

It turned out that in the previous twelve cases, the victims were all strangled to death with red ropes, and the murderer seemed to be very courageous. After committing the crime, he would directly throw the murder weapon into the victim's yard. At this time, looking at the modus operandi of this case, it is similar to the previous twelve cases and can be classified into the same category.

Long Moxun held the murder weapon in his hand, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he looked at Luo Xuening: "The time of the crime, the choice of the victim, and even the murder weapon are exactly the same as the twelve cases we mentioned earlier, so this is undoubtedly the thirteenth case of the closed room murder case."

Is that so?

Luo Xuening blinked. For some reason, she always felt that this case seemed different from the other twelve cases. She had read the case files. In the previous twelve cases, the murderer sneaked into the strictly guarded mansion at night to commit the murder. Moreover, after the murderer killed the person, the body would be found the next day.

Judging from the victims chosen by the murderer, this murderer is an extremely confident person. He has a serious aversion to the court. The purpose of his killing is to warn those officials. His purpose in killing is too strong. Therefore, Luo Xuening feels that if this case is really the thirteenth case, this body would not be found until a month later.

"My Lord, can I go and see the body of the deceased first?"

After Luo Xue Ning spoke, everyone noticed the woman following Prince Jing. Seeing her say these words with a calm face, everyone couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This woman was really brave.

Long Moxun originally wanted to say that the coroner had already experienced corpses, and there was no need for Luo Xuening to go to such lengths. After all, she was not a professional coroner. However, after glancing back at Luo Xuening's determined expression, Long Moxun agreed to her request.

"Go in with me."

"Um."

Luo Xuening nodded, not thinking that there was anything wrong with Long Moxun's behavior. However, the others widened their eyes at the same time. When did Prince Jing condescend to be so condescending as to personally perform an autopsy? This completely refreshed their perception of Prince Jing.

Long Moxun dismissed the rest of the people and brought Luo Xuening into the deceased's room. The room had been sealed off long ago. Luo Xuening walked cautiously, exploring around with her eyes.

She first took a general look at the deceased's room. The deceased's room was very tidy. The deceased's body was still on the bed, covered with a white cloth. Although the deceased's appearance could not be seen clearly, the deceased's room was clean and tidy. Occasionally there was dust falling, but that was because no one had cleaned it for a long time. The decoration in the room was mainly blue and white, which showed that the deceased's personality should be calm and elegant.

Luo Xue Ning turned her head and saw a few yellowed papers on the dusty desk. The handwriting on the papers was beautiful and it was obvious that it was written by a woman. She didn't expect that the deceased, Ms. He, was actually a talented woman.

Luo Xuening carefully looked at the handwriting on the paper. Although it had the beauty of a woman's, the font structure was open. Anyone who could write in this font must have a broad mind and a cheerful personality. Luo Xuening found it strange. Logically speaking, with the deceased's personality, she would not be willing to be someone's mistress and stay in a remote yard all day.

"This He was originally the daughter of an official. Later, the official was convicted and his family fell into decline. He was later driven out by her husband's family and found a courtyard. She went from being a concubine to a mistress. This was no secret among the women in the capital."

Long Moxun took this case very seriously and had already thoroughly understood the deceased's situation. Luoxue frowned and asked, "What about his husband's family?"

"He is a strong suspect, but from what we know, he hasn't been to the deceased's place for half a year."

"oh"

Luo Xuening seemed a little annoyed. She sighed softly and walked lightly towards the body of the deceased. She took a deep breath and opened the white cloth covering the deceased.

The corpse had been dead for too long, and its entire body had become decayed. Pus was flowing down the body. Even though Luo Xuening was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but take a deep breath. Long Moxun stood about ten feet away from Luo Xuening, and after taking one look at the corpse, he couldn't help but frown.

However, Luo Xuening acted as if nothing had happened and she undressed the dead person.

"My Lord, do you want to see it?"

Seeing that Long Moxun was still staring at her motionlessly, Luo Xuening finally spoke up. This man really didn't shy away at all.

Long Moxun choked and said stiffly: "Who wants to see it? I am not interested."

"Then please turn your head around, Your Majesty."

Luo Xuening was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to examine the condition of the body.

Luo Xue Ning is not a forensic doctor by profession, but when she was in the police station, she learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from forensic doctors. After traveling through time, Luo Xue Ning could not sit idle. Every time she investigated a case, she would personally examine the corpse. It was not that she did not trust the coroner brought by Long Mo Xun, but the people of Nan Shao Kingdom paid attention to body skin, and they were even more respectful of corpses because of their parents. Therefore, the coroner might miss some important details during the examination, and Luo Xue Ning must participate in the examination in person.

The corpse was slender, but the abdomen was slightly bulging. Because the corpse was wearing many clothes, the previous coroners did not take off the clothes when they examined it. Naturally, they ignored the abnormal bulge in the abdomen of the corpse. Luoxue frowned and pressed lightly on the abdomen of the corpse, feeling a pressure.

She untied the corpse's underwear again, and this inspection made Luo Xuening stunned on the spot.

"Your Majesty, the corpse seems... pregnant."
