Chapter 35 Recognize the corpse?(1/2)
Xin Yi was confused for a moment and looked at him.
Prince Guangling leaned on the chariot wheels, his phoenix eyes half-squinted, scanning her and Cao Yi beside her with a smile but not a smile. There was a coldness on the corners of his lips, like a hunter looking at his prey.
Sun Huai glanced at her, "What are you doing, little lady? I'm calling you."
Countless people looked at Xin Yi with sympathy and pity, as if she would soon die tragically at the hands of Fu Jiuqu.
Xin Yi did not hesitate for too long. He pulled the donkey cart and the three children and walked towards Fu Jiuqu.
The crowd automatically gave way and looked at her nervously.
If nothing else, Xin Yi's appearance was exactly the same as the murderer Cao Yilan just described. No one needed to translate it to know that she was the ugly wife Miss Cao was talking about who killed her husband.
"What does the prince want from me?"
Xin Yi saluted Fu Jiuqu.
The three children also called "Uncle Fu" obediently. Fu Jiuqu responded in a low voice, raised his chin, and glanced at Zeng Qinda and the onlookers calmly, with a slight smile on his raised lips.
mocking.
"This is the murderer you are looking for."
There was silence all around, and the crowd was stunned.
Xin Yi was briefly absent-minded.
"Fu Jiuqu, are you sick?"
He called him by his first name very quietly, but it still fell into Fu Jiuqu's ears.
"Shut up!"
Fu Jiuqu interrupted her with a cold voice, and asked with a smile:
"Master Zeng, yes or no, please tell me?"
Zeng Qinda stood on tiptoe and bowed his hands in salute.
"I have met the Prince of Guangling..."
Before his voice fell, he caught a glimpse of Cao Yi walking through the crowd, turned sideways and bowed again.
"I have met the commander of Caodu."
Cao Yi responded warmly, "Master Zeng, there is no need to be polite. I was just passing by and didn't want to disturb you while you were handling the case."
Fu Jiuqu chuckled twice, glanced at Cao Yi and mouthed "hypocrisy", and then asked Cao Yi coldly: "Master Zeng, is this little woman the murderer you want to arrest?"
Zeng Qinda had sweat on his forehead.
When gods fight, why should he, a mortal, suffer?
"This, this, please report to the county prince... The body of the porter has just been recovered. The case has not been determined, and the murderer is unknown..."
"Brother Ninth, she is the one who killed -" Cao Yilan's whispering voice came at the right time, relieving Zeng Qinda and triggering the second wave of revolution in Xin Yi's body.
"I saw with my own eyes that she was having trouble with the three porters."
Fu Jiuqu stared at her with a half-smile.
"Did you see it?"
When Cao Yilan saw Fu Jiuqu smiling at her, her heart beat wildly and her voice became softer and softer.
"Well, Lan'er has seen it all. She is this shameless woman..."
"Okay." Fu Jiuqu slowly turned the jade ring finger, lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, "Cheng Cang, take Miss Cao to identify the body. Carefully identify, one by one, which hand pulled it, and how it was pulled. Identify clearly.
Already."
Cao Yilan's expression changed.
The three salvaged corpses were still parked under the embankment beside the bridge, covered with white linen cloth. They were so far apart that she had to cover her nose with a handkerchief for fear of being tainted with the smell of the dead. She was so scared. How could she identify the corpses?
?
"Brother Ninth..." Cao Yilan showed weakness delicately, "Lan'er is afraid..."
"If you don't recognize the body, how can you testify?" Fu Jiuqu's half-closed eyes slightly raised, "Cheng Cang, take it over."
"No..." Cao Yilan screamed in fear. How could a delicate teenage girl dare to look at the corpse? Seeing that Fu Jiuqu's smile did not change, she had no room for maneuver and rushed towards Cao Yi for help.
"Uncle Qi, you know, Lan'er is the timidest. The tip of a needle is so small, I'm afraid. Uncle Qi, I'm afraid of identifying the body..."
Cao Yi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then glared at Cao Yilan warningly, and whispered softly.
"Chonglou..."
"Bring it over!"
Fu Jiuqu emphasized his tone, his voice was low and cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Yes!" Cheng Cang stepped forward with a cold face, picked up Cao Yilan with a guard and left.
Seeing Cao Yilan struggling and shouting out her voice, Cao Yi sighed.
"Chonglou, you know that she is just..."
But before Cao Yi could say anything, he was interrupted by Fu Jiuqu's cold snort.
"The Imperial City Detective Department is handling the case, does Cao Duzhi want to comment on it?"
Such a businesslike tone and address were distant and indifferent, and Cao Yi's unspoken words were suppressed.
"Don't dare."
The Imperial City Department is not under the management of the three yamen, and has great authority. It directly takes orders from the emperor of the day. The main targets originally were Cao Yi, the generals of the imperial guards, the military and political affairs of the Forbidden Army, and professional spies who were looking for trouble.
, can be described as a natural enemy.
"Then what other advice does Cao Duzhi have?"
Cao Yi glanced at Xin Yi, "Ms. Zhang originally had nothing to do with the case. It would be better for the county king not to implicate innocent people when investigating the case..."
Fu Jiuqu suddenly chuckled.
Say it again.
With his eyes staring at Cao Yi so meaningfully, I really don't understand why he couldn't think about it. He would even lower himself to help a cunning woman?
"Hey...let me think about it..."
Fu Jiuqu suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Xin Yi.
"Cao Du said that he cherishes the fragrance and cherishes the jade. I wonder what my sister-in-law thinks?"
Xin Yi was speechless and wanted to roll his eyes.
Wasn't he just afraid that she would seduce Cao Yi and harm his innocent uncle?
"Whatever the prince says, it will be so."
Xin Yi said and glanced at Cao Yi, "Thank you Cao Du for your kindness. The case has come to me, and I can't avoid it. As long as the king of the county reports it to the Duke, I won't be afraid."
Cao Yi saw her firm eyes, standing upright and fearless in the cold weather, nodded, and said nothing.
·
Cao Yilan's screams resounded in the sky above Yunqi Bridge.
In front of the public, the doted girl Cao looked over and over again at the bodies of the three porters that had been soaked in water and turned into hideous and terrifying bodies.
He raised his head and was pushed down by Cheng Cang.
Screaming, he closed his eyes and pressed lower.
Read and identify again and again...
Foam overflowed from the mouth and nose of the corpse, exuding a strong strange smell.
Cao Yilan yelled and screamed. Finally she couldn't bear it anymore and broke down crying.
"I don't know them, I really don't know them. I didn't see anything... What I just said was all made up out of nothing... I was not at Rouge Shop or Yunqiqiao when the incident happened..."
"Brother Ninth...ah...please spare my brother Ninth..."
Fu Jiuqu asked Zeng Qinda with a casual smile.
"Did Mr. Zeng hear this? Miss Cao admitted the wrong person."
Zeng Qinda:……
He was not deaf, so of course he heard.
He was not blind, he could see.
Miss Cao was completely frightened by them...
In broad daylight, Fu Jiuqu was truly lawless.
Zeng Qinda chuckled and held his hands in the air, "The prince is aware of everything, and the subordinates feel ashamed."
Fu Jiuqu looked at Cao Yilan who was still vomiting after being dragged back by Cheng Cang.
