MTL - Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child-Chapter 554 superfluous

   Chapter 554 Superfluous

   Whether it was the people on the boat or the people on the shore, they were all frightened by this shout.

   Xiao Juan immediately asked Luo Pingsha to call someone.

   Soon more than a dozen Eagle Guards rushed over.

   They jumped off the river and swam in the direction pointed by the boatman, and soon a female corpse emerged from the icy river.

  Luo Pingsha had already made preparations. After the female corpse was put away, he immediately crouched down and began to conduct a preliminary examination on the corpse.

  Xiao Juan glanced at the onlookers around him, and ordered the Eagle Guards to temporarily block the scene so that the people would not get too close to the corpse.

   The boatman who first discovered the woman's body was also called ashore to question her.

  Yu curled up curiously, and when she saw the female corpse clearly, she was stunned for a moment, and then she blurted out.

   "It turned out to be her!"

  The female corpse looks to be about seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair, wrinkled face, and a few terrible scars on the cheeks.

   There were multiple wounds on her arms, abdomen and heart, and her appearance was very miserable.

   Xiao Juan and Luo Pingsha looked at her at the same time.

   "You know her?"

  Yu Weiwei answered truthfully.

   "It's not even an acquaintance.

   I met her before at Wanfo Temple, where she sold red bean soup.

   I see her as an old man who has to come out to make a living in the cold weather. It's not easy.

   paid for all her red bean soup.

   Xiaohai was also present at the time, and he also met this grandma. "

   Ling Hai, who was next to him, nodded immediately: "Yes, Princess Princess is the truth."

   Xiao Juan: "Wanfo Temple?"

  Yu Weigui: "I had a chat with her at that time, and she said that she came to Yujing from another place, alone, and temporarily lived in the Wanfo Temple. The host of the temple might know her origins."

   Xiao Jian glanced at Meng Xizhou who was standing beside him.

  Meng Xizhou understood: "My subordinates will take people to Wanfo Temple."

  It is reasonable to say that the New Year's Eve should not disturb the purity of Buddhism, but Meng Xizhou did not dare to delay because of human life.

  Luopingsha quickly concluded the initial autopsy.

"The deceased looked old, but judging from her teeth and bones, her actual age should be around sixty years old. She worked all year round and suffered severe physical strain. There were four stab wounds on her body, and the most serious one was the one in the heart. Her real cause of death was drowning asphyxiation."

  Yu Shao frowned: "You mean, she was slashed four times, and then thrown into the river to drown? How much hatred is this?"

  Xiao Juan thoughtfully said, "A thin old woman who has been stabbed four times in her body will definitely not survive. Why did the murderer throw her into the river? Why not just find a hidden place and bury her?"

  Yu Weiwei reacted: "Yes, isn't the murderer superfluous?"

  According to normal logic, after killing people, the murderer will definitely try his best to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, so that others will not discover his crime.

   But the murderer threw the victim into the river and let the victim flow down the river.

  This river runs through the entire Yujing, and countless people come and go every day along the riverbank, and sooner or later the body is found.

   The murderer couldn't have imagined this!

  Luo Pingsha also said: "This matter is really strange."

   Xiao Juan ordered: "Take the body back first, Xiaoyan, take a few people to visit the upper reaches of the river and see if you can find any useful clues?"

   Yan Nanguan clasped his fists and replied, "Here!"

After    and the others had all left, Xiao Juan asked where did he want to go for supper?

   Just found out that someone was dead, and the deceased had a relationship with Lingwei. No matter how big she was, she couldn't have an appetite to eat at this moment.

   She said she wanted to go home.

   So Xiao Yan returned to the county prince's mansion with his curls and Ling Hai.

  Tonight is New Year's Eve. They didn't go to bed early as usual, but sat around the fire, drinking tea and chatting while keeping the year old.

   The topic of their chat is naturally the female corpse found tonight.

  Yu Cui Cui couldn't understand: "A lonely old woman who has neither money nor beauty, what is the purpose of killing her?"

  Xiao Jian replied casually when he saw more murder cases.

   "Maybe it was a vendetta. The opponent slashed her four times, and each of them was not fatal. It was probably to vent his anger."

  Yu Weiwei: "If you say that, it's quite possible. In this case, you must first find out her identity and origin."

   Only by knowing who she is, can you know who she has a grudge against?

  Xiao Juan: "I should know when Xiao Meng comes back."

   Meng Xizhou came back in the second half of the night.

   He knew that Prince Lang was a workaholic, and he didn't dare to delay at all after returning to the city, and immediately ran to the Prince's Mansion.

   Xiao Juan woke up immediately when he heard a knock on the door outside.

   As soon as he sat up, the sleeping curler beside him also woke up.

  Curly rubbed his eyes, and asked in a loud voice.

"where did you go?"

  Xiao Juan: "It should be Xiaomeng who is back, I'll go see him, you can continue to sleep."

  Yu Weiwei replied obediently: "Oh."

  Xiao Wan got out of bed, pulled his clothes onto his body, opened the door and walked out.

  In the Nuan Pavilion, Meng Xizhou was pouring hot tea into his mouth.

   On a winter night, the wind was so cold that it reached the knife and drilled into the crevices of human bones.

He rode a horse back and forth between Yujing and Wanfo Temple. His cheeks and ears were almost frozen to the point of unconsciousness. After a bowl of hot tea, he felt a little warm in his body. He was slowing down. come over.

   Xiao Wan asked people to move the brazier in front of him.

   "How's it going?"

  Meng Xizhou squatted by the brazier and baked with his hands on the fire.

   He sniffed and said in a voice that was a little out of tune from being frozen.

   "The abbot of Wanfo Temple said that the name of the deceased was Li Po.

   As for her surname, she never mentioned it, and no one in the temple knows it.

  Li Po went to Wanfo Temple two months ago. She said she came to Yujing to look for her relatives, but she was never able to find them.

   The abbot felt pity when he saw that she was old and frail and alone.

   allowed her to live in the temple for free, and lent her the kitchen in the temple.

   enables her to make a living by selling food.

   During this time, Li Po has been staying in the temple.

   Until this morning, she suddenly said that she had found her relatives and wanted to leave Wanfo Temple =.

   She has been lost since then.

  I took someone to search her residence, but there was nothing in the house. "

  Xiao Juan looked at him: "That's all?"

   Meng Xizhou suddenly smiled mysteriously.

   "Although I didn't find any clues at her residence, the abbot in the temple gave me something."

   He took out a small purse from his arms and handed it over.

   "This is what Li Po left to the abbot before she left.

   She said that if Yingwei came to the temple to find her in the future, she would ask the abbot to give this thing to Yingwei.

  If there is no Eagle Guard to look for her, this thing will be counted as the rent for her to live in Wanfo Temple, and the abbot will handle it himself. "
