"Prince, I also want to see the body."

Xin Yi met Fu Jiuqu's gaze and repeated it softly.

Fu Jiuqu turned his head and looked at her, "Go ahead."

No more questions, just two simple words.

Xin Yi was a little surprised, and so were others, including Cao Yi.

After Xin Yi left with the Yamen servant, Cao Yi slowly approached Fu Jiuqu, looked at his lazy look, and smiled softly, "Does the Imperial City Division really intend to intervene in this case?"

Fu Jiuqu's expression was indifferent, "I'm just like my uncle, we just bumped into each other while passing by. If I didn't interfere, I would be ashamed of the imperial salary."

Cao Yi looked at him for a moment and hesitated slightly, "The officials are very concerned about Peng Xing's appearance and Guo Zuo's uneasiness. The water ghost case is not that simple. Kaifeng Palace Manager, that's the best. Why do you need to wade into muddy waters?

"

Fu Jiuqu smiled coldly.

"I report to my father-in-law and do my work, regardless of whether I am close or distant."

Cao Yi was slightly startled, sighed and shook his head.

The personnel affairs in the capital are complex, and Fu Jiuqu holds the power of the Imperial City. It is much more difficult to report to the public than to deal with relatives. Especially at the moment, Concubine Zhang is the most popular person in the official family. Lord Zhang of Kaifeng Mansion is also the most important person in the Jinluan Palace.

red man.

The rift between the Zhang and Cao families is almost out in the open...

The seemingly peaceful city of Bianjing has an undercurrent.

~

"grown ups."

Xin Yi's head suddenly popped out from the embankment under the willow tree, holding the stones on the embankment with both hands, looking like a little quail coming out of its nest to look for food...

Fu Jiuqu laughed.

Xin Yi didn't know why, so he tilted his head and changed his name.

"Prince, I have discovered something."

Fu Jiuqu waved to her to come over and talk.

However, Xin Yi not only did not come over, but instead retracted his head and could not see anyone for a long time.

Everyone looked at each other in amazement, feeling that this little woman was incredible.

How brave do you have to be to openly disobey the orders of Prince Guangling?

"Give way!"

Xin Yi's voice came again from the bottom of the embankment.

Then there was a burst of rustling.

Everyone looked over and were immediately shocked.

But the little lady actually picked up the body wrapped in white cloth and dragged it up the stone steps to the river embankment——

She held the strong man, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, so steadily as if nothing was wrong. She didn't even look at the surprised looks of others and carried him directly to the wheel of Fu Jiuqu's car.

With a thud, it fell to the ground.

Fu Jiuqu's hand caressing the jade ring finger shook, and the seat cushion seemed to shake.

Cao Yilan, who was originally lying limply on the ground, saw the body falling straight next to her. She screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

"..."

Miss Cao is so unfazed?

Xin Yi looked at Cao Yi apologetically and spread his hands.

"She may be a little hysterical and can't stand stimulation."

"..."

Cao Yi lowered his head to check. There was a small bruise on Cao Yilan's head. He didn't know whether it was bruised when he fell to the ground or when Cheng Cang carried him over. There were also two scratches on his hand.

"Sorry, Cao goes first."

Cao Yi glanced at Fu Jiuqu with an unclear meaning, called the girl over, and helped Miss Cao onto the sedan chair.

It's rare for the Great Cao Mansion to be in such a miserable state.

With the people watching, the Cao family gradually drifted away.

Cao Yi did not look back.

Fu Jiuqu put his hands on his temples, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and his voice was too gentle to be true.

"Little Zhang, what are you doing?"

Xin Yi smiled and spoke calmly, "I suspect that the porters did not drown to death, but dumped the body into the river after death..."

Everyone stared at her with wide eyes.

Zeng Qinda coughed lightly and said, "Young lady, please do not draw any conclusions. Everything must be confirmed after an autopsy."

"I just have suspicions." Xin Yi said: "I don't want to get involved in this matter, but I have to speak out. Because this is a complete murder case. Moreover, the person the murderer targeted is me."

The crowd became noisy.

A little woman, what should I do to her?

Fu Jiuqu looked calm and smiled noncommittally.

Zeng Qinda asked: "Why target you?"

Countless eyes fell on Xin Yi.

There must be someone hiding among these people who wants to kill her.

Xin Yi thought so and deliberately said it to be mysterious.

"Actually, this porter came to me today to tell me that someone wanted them to assassinate me. They were unwilling to take action against me, a young lady with a son and a daughter, so they kindly reminded me...otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed

Go find Mr. Cao."

At this point, she looked down at the corpse, showing sadness.

"I didn't expect that three kind-hearted brothers would be brutally murdered."

The crowd was in an uproar.

He kept pointing at the corpse.

"Master Zeng." Xin Yi glanced at Zeng Qinda's suspicious fat face and said seriously: "When you examine the body, you will know that what I said is true..."

The difference between drowning and throwing a body does not require very powerful execution skills.

"Of course, if the murderer dared to kill people in broad daylight, he must have made complete preparations. If it is difficult to identify, I suggest you conduct an autopsy. There must be residual food in this person's stomach..."

Zeng Qinda was thoughtful.

"Miss, can you tell me more carefully?"

Without saying a word, Xin Yi suddenly opened the white cloth covering the body.

"Ah! The corpse is moving!"

"Still laughing!"

Wow! The crowd is boiling, like boiling hot water. People are running out, retreating, and blindfolding their children. It is extremely noisy...

But it soon became quiet again.

Because the corpse just twitched and became motionless.

But there was a strange smile on his face.

Unusual.

In broad daylight, it is so chilling that it sends chills down one's spine.

Xin Yi was not afraid and pointed at the corpse.

"My lord, please look at this. This person's horns were opisthotonic after death. At first glance, it seems that he did not die of drowning..."

Opisthotonus?

Everyone craned their necks to watch.

The corpse was bent up like a bow and opened in the opposite direction, with its eyebrows raised high and its teeth clenched, as if it was grinning...

"This is a sign of evil."

"The water ghost of the Bianhe River must be the water ghost of the Bianhe River..."

The people who drowned in the water ghost case all died like this, just like the deformed children in Zhangjiacun. It was widely spread among the people and was frightening and inexplicable.

Zeng Qinda waved, and He Ren came over.
