The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

It was a new day. When Chu Yunxi woke up, she felt refreshed and had a rare good sleep.

She stretched and got up. Hongyu brought in some water to help her wash up. Chu Yunxi turned her head and saw Yue Yanran studying hard under the osmanthus tree in the yard.

"What time did she get up?" Chu Yunxi asked Hongyu while washing her face.

Hongyu looked back at Yue Yanran and said, "This girl, she got up at dawn, probably just after dawn."

She is really hardworking. Chu Yunxi was satisfied. After washing, she came behind Yue Yanran. Yue Yanran didn't notice it at all and was still reading seriously.

It was a thick book, but she had already read more than half of it in just a few days.

Chu Yunxi decided not to disturb her. When she looked up, Xiao Mubei was standing at the door of the study. The morning sun shone on him, as if giving him a layer of golden light.

Chu Yunxi narrowed her eyes. This man was really handsome.

"Your Highness, where are we having breakfast today?" Hongyu brought out the breakfast and looked at both sides, wondering if the two masters wanted to eat together today.

Xiao Mubei pointed to the pavilion and said, "It's over there. It's cool this morning, so we don't have to stay stuffy in the house."

Hongyu set the table, Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei sat down. Xiao Mubei waved his hand, and Baiyu and Heimu instantly appeared in the pavilion.

"Sit down and eat. Hei Mu will report to the girl again about what happened last night."

They have reached a consensus. In Dali Temple, everyone will still call Chu Yunxi "Miss", and will call her "Princess" when they return to the palace or when necessary, so no one in Dali Temple knows that Chu Yunxi is the concubine of Prince Dingbei.

Hei Mu sat down and told Chu Yunxi some of the fragmentary words he had heard last night. He didn't hear much, mainly because he didn't dare to get too close.

Xiao Mubei had already heard what Hei Mu said last night, so he was eating quietly at this moment. Chu Yunxi was also eating while listening. After Hei Mu finished speaking, he also started eating silently. The pavilion became quiet for a while.

After everyone finished eating, Chu Yunxi spoke up, "Your Highness, Prince Anyang said that the incident had also been uncovered, and there was also a slut whose life was worthless. What did your Highness think of first?"

Xiao Mubei said slowly: "Those brothel women were murdered."

Chu Yunxi clapped her hands, "Yes, that's what I thought too. So far, we only know that the victims of that case were all prostitutes. But yesterday, Bai Yu told Lin Haifu about the murder of Doctor Yan and the female corpse that was fished out of the city. If Doctor Yan was really killed by Lin Haifu, he would definitely report to King Anyang. But King Anyang said, how come that case was also dug up? This means that in addition to Doctor Yan's case, the other case is also related to them, and it is something they thought they did very secretly. I guess, nine out of ten times, it is the murder of the prostitute."

If it is true, then it would be a piece of cake. But no matter whether it is true or not, we can now investigate in this direction. There is a saying in Chu Yunxi's previous life that the suspect should either not enter the police's sight, or once he enters, he will definitely not be able to escape. It would be unprofessional for the police not to investigate him thoroughly.

The same is true now.

As they were talking, Li Jinghong came hurriedly. Xiao Mubei ordered Hongyu to remove the food and asked Baiyu and Heimu to do the work, and asked Li Jinghong to sit down in the pavilion as well.

Hongyu quickly brewed some tea and brought it over. Li Jinghong took a sip of the tea before speaking, "The identities of the six women have been found out."

It was the iris that made the great contribution. Knowing that Zui Chunfeng had an spies from Prince Anyang, Li Jinghong deliberately avoided Zui Chunfeng and went to another famous brothel in the capital, Fenglailou.

Fenglai Tower is not much smaller than Zui Chunfeng Tower. It is bustling with people coming and going every day. Li Jinghong chose the busiest time to go there.

If you want to avoid alerting the suspect, you can only conduct a secret visit. And you can't do it in broad daylight when there is no one around, as it will be too conspicuous. You can't ask the madam either. You can only do it when there are the most people around, wear plain clothes, order a girl, and a table of food and wine, just like all the men who go to the brothel, and no one will notice you.

In addition to Li Jinghong, there were more than a dozen detectives from the Dali Temple scattered in various brothels in the capital at the same time.

After entering the room, he did not talk about love and romance, but directly revealed his identity. He started by asking about the iris, then the lame girl, then the girl who had disappeared recently, and finally gave a threatening speech that this matter involved court secrets, and if leaked, it would be the same crime as murder.

The people should not fight against the officials, so these girls would naturally keep their mouths shut. In this way, the identities of the six women were all revealed in one night, and it turned out that they were all from the brothel.

The woman with the iris flower on her body is the top prostitute of Zui Chunfeng. Her name is Iris. Li Jinghong heard this from the girl in Fenglai Tower. It was because Iris was so popular before that not only the girls in Fenglai Tower knew about it, but the girls in other brothels also knew about it. Several constables had even found out about it.

It is said that Iris has been claiming to be sick and has not been seeing guests for some time. The girl at Fenglai Tower heard it from a guest. Some people heard of Iris's fame and ran a long way to Zui Chunfeng, but were stopped outside. No matter how much money they paid, they could not see her. The madam just smiled and said that Miss Iris was sick and she was really sorry.

Iris was the girl who died the shortest time, only two days, so why didn't she receive any guests for so many days? Chu Yunxi thought about this question and wrote down the doubts.

As for the lame girl, she is Miss Qing'er from Fenglai Tower. Although she is not the top prostitute, her appearance is not inferior to any top prostitute in the tower. It's just because of her leg that she seldom goes out. However, she is well-known for her talent and plays the pipa to perfection. In addition, she has good conversation skills, so many people come to see her because of her reputation.

The other four were also the top girls in their respective brothels, and they had all disappeared recently. Li Jinghong deduced based on their clothing and ages and finally matched them one by one. The reason why he found them quickly was that these women were too outstanding. Even if the madam had suppressed the disappearance, she could not stop so many people from talking about it, and everyone would always have various speculations.

Li Jinghong said all this in one breath, picked up the cup and gulped down the tea, then said: "There is a suspicious point. These women had not been receiving customers before they disappeared. Like Iris, they claimed to be sick and could not go out. But everyone in the building knew that they were not sick, but were kept by a big shot."

Chu Yunxi tapped the table with her fingers. All of them were booked out and no longer receiving customers, all of them were strangled to death, and all of them were tied to rocks and thrown into the river. There was no doubt that they had met the same person, a very powerful person. But since this person liked this kind of thing and only picked the top girls, why did he brutally kill all of these women?
