Chapter 74 Real Dog
Lu Qingfan laughed dumbly, "Okay, it does whet one's appetite."
He tied the horse to the back of the carriage and got into the carriage. There was a tall Lu Qingfan in the huge carriage, and the surrounding environment immediately became crowded.
The man was sitting upright, but his dark eyes were looking at Yun Xi intently, waiting for her to tell her what he had discovered.
He was obviously doing business, but there was an unconcealable emotion quietly filling the air, which made Qingguo feel dizzy and simply sat down on the carriage.
"Tan Yundie is quite girlish, but there are a few things in her house that don't fit her temperament." Yun Xi pointed out the glass lamp, geographical records and other items, as well as some small and broken objects.
Qingguo grabbed the car curtain. No one was there, but she couldn't help but put her ears over to listen.
"Fanbang's items?" Lu Qingfan suddenly asked: "You mean these things were given by her sweetheart."
Yun Xi smiled and nodded, "Yes. Even the ruby gems on the dagger are embedded in the back. I suspect that these were all gifts from the lover... so I suddenly thought of someone."
Along the way from Qingzhou, there is a force that has always followed. Whether it is the slave trade or the novel gadgets that foreign countries pay tribute to, they are all in the hands of one person.
The Minister of Household Affairs, Yi Duo.
Lu Qingfan held his chin up with his hand and said after a moment: "A man who is proficient in diplomatic affairs with foreign countries, is related to Yi Duo, the Minister of Household Affairs, and can deal with the princess's palace, may be the murderer of Yan Jun."
"Tan Yundie is about the same age as Yan Jun, so I guess he is most likely to be a descendant of an aristocratic family or a member of Master Yi's family. Ah, he has some real power." Yun Xi added.
Being able to get access to ruby gemstones of that kind of quality, but without the power to do so, I’m afraid it would be too much.
After Yun Xi finished speaking, she handed the brocade box in her arms to Lu Qingfan.
Lu Qingfan opened it and took a look. What he confirmed was not the dagger, but Yun Xi's precise injury diagnosis and deduction ability.
"I have always had a question." Lu Qingfan closed the box, a smile appeared in his dark eyes: "How on earth are these pictures of murder weapons so realistic?"
It is rare for a charcoal drawing to be so accurate.
Yun Xi tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Isn't this how ordinary painters paint?"
"Mostly ink paintings."
"Oh, I understand." Yun Xi looked like he was taking the advice seriously: "Then I will paint with ink next time."
Lu Qingfan couldn't laugh or cry: "That's not what I meant, I just thought it was novel."
"I learned how my aunt taught me." Yun Xi's eyebrows slightly arched: "When it comes to drawing murder weapons and wounds, charcoal is easier to use than ink drawing."
Not only is it easy to use, it is also quite lifelike! Even the light and shadow cast on the paper can be drawn with a black mist-like charcoal color. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, who can have this ability!
"Then... Sir, I don't need to change it, right?"
"Well, let's use charcoal." Lu Qingfan pressed his sore temples and secretly swore in his heart that he would never tease the little girl again.
When he wasn't paying attention, Yun Xi's lips slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, which quickly disappeared without a trace.
Outside the car curtain, Qingguo reflected to himself: "Miss, you can actually find clues to the murderer in those messy objects... Why didn't I see it at all?"
It is no longer useful to just think about the beautiful glass lamps and the numerous geographical records!
Now that the categories of criminals have been divided again, the task of screening falls on the master of files, Mr. Ran Piao.
When Ran Piao came to the inn with a stack of files, the bags under his eyes were so big they could grow fish.
"Master Ran, thank you for your hard work."
Yun Xi couldn't bear it, so she immediately wrote a prescription to Mr. Ran Piao, who was in his late teens: "This is a prescription for nourishing qi and blood. It is most suitable for people like you who stay up late to run errands."
The body is the capital of doing errands, it must be well taken care of!
Ran Piao waved his hands hurriedly: "This is a matter within the lower official's duties, where is the use?"
Just kidding, who would dare to use this recipe?
"Yun Xi learned from the Valley of Miracle Doctors, Lord Ran can use it." Lu Qingfan nodded to Ran Piao with unknown meaning.
He could see Ran Piao's little thoughts at a glance.
But no one can live up to Yun Xi's kindness, not even his subordinates.
"Well, it's all thanks to you." Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Ran Piao took it bravely. He folded up the recipe at will, without even thinking of using it.
The case files are mainly divided into two batches, one is related to the Minister of Household Affairs, and the other is related to Princess Yuanyue and Prince Yan's Mansion.
The main task today is to screen out possible potential murderers among these two groups of people.
Ran Piao was not good at running errands, but he was really good at screening files and reviewing documents: he also went out of his way to dig out all the hastily concluded cases in the Yanhou Mansion.
After cross-screening of the three files, there is always one murderer who fits the inference.
Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan knew the characteristics of the murderer best, so they carried out the re-screening separately, while Ran Piao went to the next room to rest and catch up on his sleep.
During this period, Leng Hai came here specifically to report that Princess Yuanyue had indeed fallen in love with a family two years ago, but she didn't officially marry him.
The person who disturbed Huang's marriage was Yan Jun.
"This Yan Jun is really acting like a dog. Rumor has it that no one else is allowed to touch the girl he likes."
Leng Hai said with disdain on his face: "Just like a dog urinating to occupy the territory, Yan Jun uses his power to bully each other... How can ordinary people offend the Yanhou Mansion? They can only swallow their anger and dare not argue anymore."
"No wonder..." Yun Xi quickly flipped through the files in his hand while listening to Leng Hai's news, and the shabby appearance of the Princess's Mansion once again appeared in his mind.
"What's so surprising?" Lu Qingfan tilted his head and asked, not letting go of any of Yun Xi's thoughts.
Yun Xi raised her head in confusion, and then realized that she had just said what she was thinking, and mentioned that when she arrived at the princess's mansion, the desolate gate and the shabby servants were really in a state of ruin.
"Oh my God, the life of the princess is so difficult, isn't it because she was forced by the Yanhou Mansion?" Qingguo couldn't help it anymore: "What kind of people are these from the same family?"
Lu Qingfan's eyes lit up, "Leng Hai, now go check out the property of Princess Yuanyue's Mansion in recent years and why it has been so difficult to make money... Follow the clues and see if the experience of the Princess' Mansion has anything to do with Yan Jun or Prince Yan."
Leng Hai understood immediately, accepted the order with clasped fists, and walked away with a smile.
"I'll give you extra food tonight." Lu Qingfan said to Qingguo.
Qingguo sheepishly whispered: "Thank you, sir."
She didn't do much.
Yun Xi smiled and raised his hand to rub the little maid's head.
It was said that it was a snack, but in fact the three of them were so busy that they had already eaten too much for dinner.
When Ran Piao came in from the door sleepily, he saw the three of them still maintaining their afternoon posture. He took another confused look at the sky and finally confirmed that he had slept until dark and was not dreaming.
"Sir, haven't you three moved anywhere for most of the day?"
"Master Ran is awake." Lu Qingfan's voice was hoarse. He picked up the tea cup and found that it was empty.
Ran Piao hurriedly served his master Shangfeng, and then said: "Why don't you eat first? Two girls can't bear it."
Lu Qingfan glanced at Yun Xi quietly. The little girl's head had been buried in the file, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she was not slow in flipping through it. She must have been in this state for a long time.
Lu Qingfan pursed his lips and said, "Lord Lao Ran, pass the meal."
"Hey, I'm going to go right now."
Ran Piao likes Mr. Shangfeng who is so approachable and approachable!
[Author's digression]: Lu Qingfan: I can't seduce a straight girl.
Yun Xi: Straight men are so easy to deceive.
