No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers

Xiao Yichen walked out of the study room with a hum. It was the first time that Shao Tauto followed him to the scene of the crime, and the faceless female corpse still hung in the tree was hugged. She was bold and careful and most actively investigated the case.

When Xiao Yichen walked out of the palace, Shao Catou stood upright on the snow at the gate of the palace. At this moment, the sun melted a lot.

Seeing Xiao Yichen walking out of the palace, Shao Catcher was about to bow his head, but was interrupted by Xiao Yichen's wave of his hand.

Shao Catching nodded and was about to speak, when he saw a figure running out of the princess, it was Ji Lingxue who had changed his clothes, "I heard that the case is progressing, I also want to go and see."

Was physically punished by the emperor just in the morning, now he jumped again?

Xiao Yichen frowned, and before he refused, Ji Lingxue said again: "Who made me the first person to be found in the faceless female corpse case? I was mistaken for the murderer, so I must work with you to find the real murderer."

Xiao Yichen smiled and agreed, and turned to ask Shao to catch his head, "Talk about the progress, what did you find?"

Shao caught his head and said: "This morning, when someone was washing clothes by the moat, he found a human skin floating in the river. Although frightened, we quickly reported the case. He and I rushed over and inspected the human skin. Faceless female corpse."

Xiao Yichen nodded. The capital had been snowing for the last two days, and the moat was also frozen. It wasn't until today that the sun melted and the snow melted. Many diligent women went to the moat to wash their clothes early in the morning. The murderer could not wait for the ice to melt. I went to the moat to throw away the dough. The dough was thrown in the moat when the body was thrown, and it was frozen when it snowed.

The three came to the Yamen morgue. The female corpse did not rot due to the recent low temperature. Now the whole piece of skin is attached to the female corpse. The white layer of skin is illuminated by the winter sun, and you can clearly see the skin under the skin. The dark red rotten flesh was not neat, and the people who watched it were air-conditioned.

Xiao Yichen walked to the female corpse and looked down at her face, then raised her head and asked Shao to catch her head, "Where is the reporter?"

Knowing that Xiao Yichen had this question, Shao Catou pointed in the direction of the lobby and said, "Still waiting in the lobby."

Xiao Yichen took Ji Lingxue's hand and walked to the Yamen lobby. In the lobby stood a 40-year-old middle-aged fat woman, wearing a blue blouse that was washed until she turned white. When she saw Xiao Yichen and Ji Lingxue coming side by side, her eyes flashed , Looked down and saluted immediately.

Xiao Yichen asked: "Tell me how you found the dough."

Speaking of the face, the woman's face turned pale, probably because she thought of the weird picture, "I was awakened by the crowing of chickens in the yard at the fourth clock, and when I saw that the snow had stopped outside, I thought about my house for several days. I didn’t wash my clothes. I went to the moat to wash my clothes before dawn. Everything was normal. When the first ray of sunlight came on, I saw a white thing floating in the river. I thought it was a handkerchief. , I found a branch and picked it up. It looked like human skin, and my heart trembled with fright. I quickly threw it aside to report to the official."

In the end, the woman patted her **** and said, "Master official, there is no human skin in this moat. It's too scary. I won't dare to wash clothes again."

Xiao Yichen nodded. This woman said in detail and clearly, she didn't look scared at all?

Xiao Yichen nodded, "Okay, this king knows, you should go back first. The city has been under martial law recently, so don't go out alone."

The woman bowed halfway, turned and hurried away.

Xiao Yichen caught Shao's head and said, "Send someone to stare at her."

"She" naturally just left the woman who reported the crime, and intuitively told him that this woman was not easy.

After leaving the yamen, Xiao Yichen and Ji Lingxue returned to the tree where the female corpse was hung. This was the backyard of the tea house. There were not many people coming and going, but the murderer was obviously not using light work to hang the corpse before leaving. How did he do it?

Ji Lingxue was thinking about this too. She stood under the tree, looked at the rear window on the second floor of the tea house, and looked at the height of the branches, then suddenly turned and headed towards the tea house.

Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, chasing after Ji Lingxue and asked, "Where to go?"

Ji Lingxue said: "I'm going to confirm a guess."

What guess? This place has been checked by the Yamen people how many times, the tea shoppers and the buddies in the whole teahouse have all checked, and no clues have been found, but Ji Lingxue seems to have found it when he comes, Xiao Yichen raised his lips and smiled, hands He followed Ji Lingxue to the second floor of the teahouse.

The teahouse and the building were in the box with the big tree hanging from the female corpse. Ji Lingxue opened the window, facing the north wind, Xiao Yichen took out a small ingot of silver and sent it to the shop Xiaoer who was guarding aside, and walked to Ji Lingxue and asked: "You are watching what?"

Ji Lingxue clapped his hands confidently, and I finally knew the means by which the female corpse hung on the tree without traces of the murderer.

"Let's listen." Xiao Yichen looked at Ji Lingxue with a respectful attitude.

Find two thin hemp ropes, two iron hooks and a bag of 100 catties of rice, and I will do an experiment for the prince.

Xiao Yichen nodded and looked at the sky. The dark song hiding in the dark instantly disappeared in place, and a few things Ji Lingxue needed soon were sent.

Xiao Yichen looked at the hemp rope on the ground, hooked up the hook and the rice and asked, "Why do you use rice for this experiment?"

Ji Lingxue said with a smile: "Because 100 catties of rice is exactly the weight of a female corpse, I can't find other things to replace it, so I can use rice instead, and I can use it to cook and eat."

Xiao Yichen twitched the corners of his mouth, as if being with Ji Lingxue could not do without the word "eat".

Ji Lingxue squatted on the ground and tied the two hemp ropes to the hooks and pulled hard. After confirming that the hooks were fixed on the hemp ropes, she went to the window and asked Xiao Yichen to throw the hemp ropes with the hooks onto the branches to fix them.

Then he hugged the rice on a double hemp rope. The topography of the tea house was high, and the distance between the tree was relatively short, so the rice bag was easy to cut down and landed on the tree accurately.

Xiao Yichen gently applied force, and the iron hook that was still hooked on the tree was retracted obediently. He turned to look at Ji Lingxue and asked curiously: "How did you find it?"

Ji Lingxue pointed to the tiny hemp rope marks on the windowsill, "This is the evidence. The one on the left is left by the murderer, and the one on the right is the result of our experiment. How does the prince feel about my experiment?"

Xiao Yichen curled his lips and said, "You have solved the mystery that has plagued this king for many days." Because the traces left by the murderer have not been found these days, many people thought it was a sneaky killing, which made people panic.

Ji Lingxue smiled, and said: "Then Lord, you can give me a reward!"

Xiao Yichen raised his hand and scratched Ji Lingxue's palm, Ji Lingxue retracted his hand so it was itchy, and glared at Xiao Yichen, "Master, you are really stingy!"

Xiao Yichen said, "Reward you a piece of sweet potato." He pointed to the sweet potato stall that was selling on the street.

Ji Lingxue jumped to Xiao Yichen's back and put her arms around his neck and said, "Get down by me. It's faster to get down from the window!"

Xiao Yichen: "..." Does he look like a "horse"?

Xiao Yichen's depression was only a moment, and he skilfully carried Ji Lingxue on his back and turned through the window.

Dark Song blinked, looking at Xiao Yichen carrying Ji Lingxue's back and complaining in his heart: Lord, what about your noble image, don't you want it?

Xiao Yichen carried Ji Lingxue on his back and landed in front of the roasted sweet potato stall. The old sweet potato seller glared at him, and suddenly a pair of wall men appeared in front of him.

The woman said: "Master, come two sweet potatoes."

The old man smiled, took two pieces of sweet potatoes and put them in the bag and handed them to Ji Lingxue. Ji Lingxue held the sweet potatoes and left first, and Xiao Yichen paid the money behind them.

That night, Xiao Yichen received news from Shao's head that the woman who reported the crime had a problem.

Xiao Yichen asked Ji Lingxue, who was observing the mice in the cage, "The moonlight is pretty good tonight. Let's take a look together?"

Ji Lingxue raised her head holding the porcelain bottle, "The moon can be seen every day, and it can't be more beautiful."

Xiao Yichen coughed and stood up and said: "The princess should rest early." He said and walked out.

Ji Lingxue stopped him, threw a porcelain bottle to him and said, "With self-defense."

Xiao Yichen took it, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay."

As soon as Xiao Yichen left, Ji Lingxue called Mo Xiang.

Mo Xiang looked at the direction of Xiao Yichen's study, "Wang Hao, why did the prince leave again?" The other wife wanted her man to stay with her every day, but her princess always chased the prince away.

Ji Lingxue gave a careless hum, and kept lowering her head to fiddle with the abacus in her hand, "The prince is going to investigate the case these few days." This sentence explained Mo Xiang's doubts.

Mo Xiang gave a cry, and sent the finished cotton shoes to Ji Lingxue, "Wang Hao, try the cotton shoes I just made to see if they fit."

Ji Lingxue gave a hum, still playing the abacus without looking up.

Mo Xiang leaned forward and asked: "Wang Hao, what are you doing?"

Ji Lingxue raised her head and said, "Of course I am calculating the losses in my shop, as well as the labor losses and medical expenses of the chef. These have to be calculated and detailed in order to come back to Uncle Guo tomorrow."

Mo Xiang said, "The cook is so pitiful. She has no income after her hand is injured. I heard that she still has five children to raise. Her husband has poor legs and feet, and the burden of supporting the family falls on her. The two pillars of the family are disabled, and their family members are waiting to drink the Northwest Wind."

Ji Lingxue stood up and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Mo Xiang blinked, "I also heard Xiao Si accidentally talk about it." Besides, no matter how pitiful the chef's family is, it has nothing to do with the princess. You hired her to be a cook, and the salary you opened was much higher than other families.

Ji Lingxue glanced at the sky outside and said, "Wait tomorrow, buy some supplements and visit them."

Mo Xiang nodded, "Okay, there are still some tonics in the palace warehouse, why don't the servants ask the housekeeper to get some?"

The next day, Ji Lingxue let Mo Xiang go shopping early in the morning. She was taking a walk in the palace, and she saw a gentleman Qingpao sitting in the pavilion from a distance. Ji Lingxue called a maid and asked, "Who is that gentleman? ?"

The maid shook her head and said: "The prince let the person living in the mansion, the specific identity is not clear."

Ji Lingxue let out a cry, and didn't mean to step forward to say hello, turned around and walked on the other road, just in time for Ji Yuqing who was beaming in red.

Ji Lingxue looked at the sky and asked, "Sister, you are dressed so festive, but are you going to the wedding?"
