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

The chief clerk quickly wrote down the situation, and Xiao Mubei sent Liu Jiahuai away. He turned around and asked Li Jinghong, "What do you think, Li Shaoqing?"

Li Jinghong said respectfully, "Your Highness, based on the information we have collected, Widow Liu must have had affairs with other men besides Liu Jiahuai. Neighbors have seen men entering Widow Liu's yard more than once, and they were not the same man. In my opinion, these men can be summoned one by one for questioning."

Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi, "How did you know today that Liu Jiahuai and Widow Liu were not in a loan relationship?"

Chu Yunxi said, "It's very simple. I saw that Liu Jiahuai was wearing luxurious clothes and didn't look like he was short of three taels of silver. When he mentioned Widow Liu, his eyes were evasive. So I asked the prince to send someone to find out about Liu Jiahuai's family background. After asking, it turned out that he was indeed the son of a wealthy family. I remember that such wealthy families would pay a servant about three taels of silver every month. Why would they go to collect debts every few days just for three taels of silver? So I concluded that Liu Jiahuai and Widow Liu were not in a loan relationship, but had some other shameful relationship."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Yes, you observed very carefully. Then tell me your guess about the murderer."

"I agree with Li Shaoqing's judgment just now. The murderer should be the man who had an affair with Widow Liu," Chu Yunxi said here, and glanced at Li Jinghong. She clearly saw a trace of disdain in his eyes. Although his expression was still respectful, he was obviously not very convinced.

Chu Yunxi changed the subject, "But I don't think it's necessary to summon those men one by one for questioning."

Xiao Mubei had naturally seen Li Jinghong's attitude and understood why he was like this. After all, if he had not been parachuted in, the former Dali Temple Minister would have stepped down and the Dali Temple Junior Minister should have been promoted to fill the position. Although Li Jinghong was an upright person, anyone would be upset to see the promotion opportunity slip away from them.

So he just pretended not to see it, and just followed Chu Yunxi's words and asked: "Then what should we do according to Miss Yunxi's intention?"

Chu Yunxi smiled slightly and said slowly: "We just need to find those who meet the requirements from these people. First, they must be between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, with a strong body and great strength. Second, they must have no alibi on the night of May 26th and have scratches or other scars on their bodies afterwards. Third," Chu Yunxi paused, seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and then slowly said: "Someone has secretly sought medical treatment for impotence recently."

After these words came out, all the men in the room felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Mubei coughed tactically and then said, "Bai Yu, Hei Mu, take a few people and go do it."

Bai Yu Hei Mu responded and went out. Li Jinghong said, "Excuse me, I would like to ask Miss Yun Xi, how did you deduce these conditions?"

Chu Yunxi picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip of tea, and then said, "If I say that corpses can talk, will Li Shaoqing believe it?"

Li Jinghong was stunned for a moment, then he smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss, you are joking."

Chu Yunxi stood up and said to Xiao Mubei without saying anything more, "This is your first time at the Dali Temple, Your Majesty. How about I push you around?"

Xiao Mubei smiled and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I also want to visit the Dali Temple."

Li Jinghong hurriedly stood up and saw them off. After Chu Yunxi pushed Xiao Mubei out, he sat down again, picked up the teacup beside him and drank it all, as if thinking about something.

Chu Yunxi pushed Xiao Mubei around in the Dali Temple and met many people from the Dali Temple on the way. Because Xiao Mubei was in a wheelchair, his target was clearer. Everyone knew that he was the new prince and temple minister, and they all greeted him when they met him.

Finally, when there were fewer people in the backyard, Xiao Mubei asked, "Why don't you tell Li Shaoqing how you deduced it?"

"He doesn't believe me, so why should I say anything?" Chu Yunxi said nonchalantly, "Instead of wasting words, it's better to speak with facts. Once we catch him, he will believe it."

"You said Li Jinghong doesn't think your inference is correct?" Xiao Mubei didn't see that.

"That's right," Chu Yunxi pushed Xiao Mubei into the pavilion and sat down. "Didn't you see that when you asked Baiyu Heimu to investigate according to my inference, he clearly wanted to stop it, but he didn't say it out of consideration for the relationship. But his expression clearly showed that he thought I was too arbitrary and that doing so would delay the investigation."

At this point, she looked at Xiao Mubei, "But Your Majesty, why do you trust me? Aren't you afraid that if my guess is wrong, it will waste time and let the real murderer escape?"

Xiao Mubei said calmly: "I am afraid, but trust the people you employ, and don't employ them if you doubt them. Yunxi, are you wrong?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head, "No."

"That's fine. I'll just wait for the case to be solved." Xiao Mubei felt that he might have really picked up a treasure. He had never seen the previous Chu Yunxi, but the Chu Yunxi in front of him was very much to his liking. Although there were always some strange things about her, such as she suddenly took out something when she clearly didn't bring anything, or her medical skills and autopsy techniques that were never known to the public, but she didn't want to talk about these, so he didn't ask any further questions. Who doesn't have some secrets?

Chu Yunxi smiled, tapped Xiao Mubei's wheelchair and said, "Don't worry, I won't take your ten taels of silver for nothing."

Hearing her mention the ten taels of silver again, Xiao Mubei asked curiously, "Are you really short of silver?"

"Of course I am short of money. Who would complain about having too much money?" Chu Yunxi asked curiously, "Save more money so that you can be prepared when something happens."

Xiao Mubei was speechless. He pointed at himself and said, "Look at me. I am the King of Dingbei, the eighth prince of the current emperor."

Chu Yunxi didn't understand what he meant, "I know."

"How could you be short of money if you follow me?" Xiao Mubei didn't know what she was thinking. After all, she was once the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Although she didn't have a huge fortune, she had no worries about food and clothing. Why did she act like she had never seen money in her life?

Chu Yunxi said seriously: "That's different. Yours is yours, and mine is mine. No matter how much silver you have, it doesn't matter to me... well, it's only a tael of silver. Only the silver earned by your own hands can be spent with momentum."

"........."

Xiao Mubei didn't know what to say, so he simply stopped talking and let Chu Yunxi push him to the case file room, where they both started looking through the case files from previous years.

One of these two people only knew how to fight before, and the other was unfamiliar with this era and urgently needed to know everything about this era, so they were both thirsty for knowledge at this moment, and they spent the whole afternoon reading.

From the files, Chu Yunxi roughly understood that the current criminal law is basically the same as that of her time. Murder is a serious crime and is punishable by beheading. As for other things, they are similar. However, because the Dali Temple is in charge of criminal cases in the world, criminal cases in various places will also be reviewed by the Dali Temple. Therefore, it can be said that this place gathers most of the cases of this era. It is a good place to study.
