C28 Evidence of a black cat

Gu Qingli looked into his eyes for a long time before his gaze finally started to wander a little. He coughed lightly and thought of a few words to dissolve the awkwardness: "My prince, I have tuberculosis, don't you want to get further away from me?"

Xiao Yixiu's answer was to raise his hand and touch her earlobe. After lightly rubbing it, he asked indifferently: "What are you blushing for?"

"Who's blushing?" A numb feeling spread over her ears as her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She was provoked by his actions to the point that she was about to go berserk, and her gaze returned a piercing gaze.

"Lovely for just a moment." He snorted.

"What?" His voice was too soft for her to hear.

Xiao Yixiu retracted his hand, and said coldly: "Who did you learn the analysis of the wangfei from?"

"It looks like it's from a random book."

"There are so many books about princesses. Have you been feeling better? "

Gu Qingli was not sure what he meant, but she snorted: "It's still the same."

"You've been taking Miss Li Yue's medicine?"

"Yes."

No wonder Li Yue's medicinal aroma s could not be removed from her body.

After being infected with the poison for so many years, he had felt that he was extremely disgusted by the bitter and bitter scent of the medicine. However, ever since Li Yue appeared, for some reason he felt that the herbal scent on her body was emitting a faint fragrance.

Or perhaps, only the medicine on her body could be called medicinal aroma, on Liu Yanyu's and Luo Yun's body, it was pure and bitter.

Xin Ziyao's residence was quickly surrounded by the Guards, so naturally Madam Qin and the other two could only return to their own residence.

When he was passing by the little medicinal garden, Xiao Yixiu walked onto the small path, towards Li Yue's house. Gu Qingli was curious about what Yue Yang was going to do even though he knew that Yue Yang had not been able to find her in the past.

The room was naturally empty. He silently placed his hand on the medicine pot on the small table. His fingertip slowly slid down, and his movements were extremely gentle.

Suddenly, a black cat jumped over. It squatted on the table and looked at him with its glass-like eyes. He recognized that this was the cat that Li Yue had treated the injuries on his leg, and it was also domesticated by Xin Ziyao before he died.

Xiao Yixiu wanted to touch it, but it quickly jumped away and jumped into his embrace.

Xiao Yixiu suddenly turned around. He stared at the cat for a long time, then looked at her. "Why are you following this duke?"

"Who followed you, is only here to find Miss Li Yue, to see if today's medicine has been fried well."

"She's not here."

"Then I'll be going." Gu Qingli carried the cat and left.

"Don't go, the cat in your arms ?"

"Meow!" The cat meowed as it should.

"You want it?"

"It was raised by Xin Ziyao and was never hugged by strangers."

Gu Qingli was startled, she never thought that a cat would cause him to suspect something. Unconsciously, she looked down and saw something hanging from the cat's paw.

It was just a few thin lines. She held them up to the sun for a long time but could not find anything.

"See what?"

"It's fibers from clothes, but I really can't tell by just this." Gu Qingli took out a piece of kernel and carefully wrapped it up before putting it into his bosom.

"As long as this cat has been hugged, there's a possibility that it could draw the thread. It doesn't have to be the killer's clothes."

Gu Qingli nodded and sighed. No one knew if Cat was present when Xin Ziyao died.

"Let's go, Li Yue probably won't appear, she only appears during the night."

Gu Qingli thought, wasn't it because of this wangfei's freedom at night? She let go, but the black cat refused to go, following her every step of the way.

"Strange, Blackjade likes you so much."

Gu Qingli's heart trembled.

"It also really likes Li Yue, because Li Yue saved it before."

"What does Your Highness want to say?"

"Did This King say anything?" Just a casual chat. "

Gu Qingli was speechless. She quickened her steps to get out of his sight, but in the end, she was as fast as a cat.

Very quickly, noon had passed, and when she arrived at the house where Xin Ziyao was, her stiff corpse had already started to ease up. Gu Qingli finally broke open her fingers without a hitch.

Just as he expected, there were traces of blood on Xin Ziyao's palm, but no clothes under his nails. Upon closer inspection, her face slowly darkened.

Xiao Yixiu also knelt beside her, using the kernel to wrap Xin Ziyao's wrist, and his eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of disgust.

Gu Qingli knew that his obsession with cleanliness had flared up again, so he scoffed, "Don't touch it if you're afraid it's dirty.

He snorted and put down the corpse's hand. "The head here is flesh and blood. What part of the killer's body did she grab?"

"That's simple. Call everyone in the house, especially those who are close to her."

"It would be easy if it was exposed, but what if it isn't?"

"The only thing she could grab was naturally the exposed parts. Otherwise it would be clothing and fibers. Who wouldn't wear an outer coat to kill people?"

Gu Qingli had just said this sentence, and facing Xiao Yixiu's complicated gaze, he knew that he had made a low level mistake.

It was in the middle of the summer, so if the culprit was someone who was close to Xin Ziyao and lived very close to him, they might not necessarily have covered him tightly before coming to kill him.

"Alright then, I'll check the women, you check the men."

Xiao Yixiu nodded. Naturally, he wouldn't capture all the people in the manor and check them out. He only ordered a few suspicious characters to gather in one room. After all, the person they suspected the most was already locked in a small area ?

In front of Gu Qingli were Qin Caisang, Yue Gelou, Jiang Shiyu, Luo Yun and a few maidservant s who were crying loudly earlier.

Luo Yun was the most dissatisfied: "What does it have to do with me? I never interact with Cinnamomum. "

"Everyone has to check. There's no exception."

Luo Yun snorted lightly, "If we can't find anything among these people, wouldn't it be the same for Princess Hua-Yang?"

Gu Qingli looked at her with a face as cold as ice, "If this wangfei wants to kill her, I don't have to strangle her.

Luo Yun rolled his eyes: "But there's still one more female servant from the Palace."

Gu Qingli raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with questions.

"Miss Li Yue."

Gu Qingli's heart trembled, he forgot that Li Yue was the bane of his life.

"Search first, we'll see. Miss Li Yue is a customer, if you want to search, you'll get the last. Since you are so unwilling to accept an examination, this wangfei will first start with the few wives and maidservant s, and then take off your outer robes. "

Although they didn't know why, the girls still unwillingly took off their coats.

All of them looked at Gu Qingli eagerly, thinking that if they were to take it off again, it would be a disgrace, could it be that this wangfei had a special hobby?

"Extend your arms horizontally." Gu Qingli looked around them one by one, up and down, not missing a single one.

"Madam Yue, what's this around your neck?" Gu Qingli stopped in front of Yue Gelou, staring at the bloody lines on her neck.

"Ah?" This is what the black jade caught at noon today. "

"Today... Noon? What a coincidence! "

Yue Manhe instinctively felt that something was amiss, and stammered, "Yes ?" Yeah, I saw the black jade walking around the medicinal garden's body as if it was hungry, so I went to hug it, and then ? and somehow got caught by it. "

"I heard that Blackjade is very hostile towards strangers?"

"Yeah, but we often meet up with Xin ?" Black Jade is very familiar with us, and I don't know why he suddenly became angry and came to arrest me. "

Gu Qingli laughed coldly: "Isn't this too much of a coincidence? "Come with me to see the prince."

"Esteemed wangfei, what did I do wrong?" "You have to make it clear, don't you?" Yue He was in a panic.

Gu Qingli was too lazy to talk with her, and indicated for Yu Ying and Yu Li to carry her and walk out.

"Esteemed wangfei, you've gone too far. Although I'm just a madam, I'm still a part of the prince's household ?"
