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

However, what Chu Yunxi didn’t understand was that if the person who sent the lanterns was really the murderer, and since Ma Xiyan had fallen in love with him at first sight, why would he use the incense?

Mr. Ma and Mrs. Ma were obviously unaware of this, and they blamed Chunlan, "Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?"

Chunlan was so scared that she started crying, "My servant, the young lady didn't allow me to tell you before, and then when the young lady got into trouble, I was so confused that I didn't remember it. If the princess hadn't asked me today, I wouldn't have remembered it."

Mr. Ma was so angry that Chu Yunxi advised him, "Calm down, Mr. Ma, even if you knew, it would be useless. We are not sure whether the person who sent the lantern to Miss Ma is the murderer. We will investigate. Mr. Ma and his wife, please be patient."

Mr. Ma sighed deeply and said, "Thank you, my Lord and Princess."

Before leaving, Chu Yunxi asked Madam Ma for a portrait of Ma Xiyan, saying that it was for investigation purposes. Madam Ma hurriedly asked Chunlan to find a recent one for Chu Yunxi.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Ma's house, Chu Yunxi took Xiao Mubei directly to the Dou family, which ran a silver shop.

The victim of the murder was also the eldest daughter of the Dou family, named Dou Anyu, who was only sixteen years old and has already been buried. Dou Anyu's mother could not bear the blow and was bedridden. She was in her early thirties, but most of her hair had turned white, which made Chu Yunxi sigh.

Manager Dou was not at home, but went to the silver shop. When she heard that the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple had arrived, Madam Dou came out to greet him despite her illness. After Chu Yunxi exchanged a few words of greeting, she directly asked Dou Anyu's personal maid to come over and answer.

Chu Yunxi also asked about Dou Anyu's whereabouts in the half month before she was murdered. Xiao Tao, Dou Anyu's personal maid, replied, "In the half month before she was murdered, the young lady went out twice. Once she went to the Lantern Festival, and once she went to Baoguang Temple to pray for blessings."

Chu Yunxi's eyelids twitched. Dou Anyu also went to the Lantern Festival?

"Is there anything unusual during these two outings?"

Xiao Tao thought for a moment, "There was nothing unusual when we went to Baoguang Temple. I followed you the whole time and never left your side. As for the time we went to the Lantern Festival..."

"What happened at the Lantern Festival?" Seeing Xiaotao hesitate to speak, Chu Yunxi asked anxiously.

Xiao Tao looked at Madam Dou timidly before saying, "That day, someone... teased the young lady."

"What?" Mrs. Dou wanted to stand up excitedly, but suddenly she started coughing so loudly that it shook the earth.

Xiao Tao hurried forward to give Madam Dou a back massage. Madam Dou was anxious to ask her something and held her hand tightly, but she couldn't stop coughing and couldn't speak.

Chu Yunxi took out a cough medicine from the Liyue bracelet and asked Madam Dou to take it, and then comforted her not to worry. After a while, Madam Dou finally stopped coughing.

As soon as she was able to speak, she pulled Xiao Tao over and asked anxiously, "What happened? Why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Tao said with red eyes: "The young lady thought this was not a good thing, and specifically told me not to tell you."

Chu Yunxi asked: "What exactly is going on?"

"That day, I went to the Lantern Festival with the young lady. Everything was fine at first. The young lady was also very happy and bought a lot of things. I couldn't hold them all. Seeing that our silver shop was not far away, I told the young lady to put the things there first. The young lady agreed, so I went there. When I returned to the place where I had agreed with the young lady, I saw a man in white making advances towards the young lady. The young lady threatened him and said, 'Do you know who I am? I am a young lady from Dou Ji Silver Shop. Do you believe that I will have someone beat you up?'"

Dou's Silver Shop is also very famous in the capital. Chu Yunxi thought it was bad. If she introduced herself, Dou Anyu might be targeted at this time.

Xiao Tao continued, "When I saw this, I hurried forward to protect the young lady and scolded the man, but the man didn't care at all. He still smiled and said to the young lady, 'You are the daughter of Dou Ji Silver House, right? I'll remember that. We will meet again.' Then he left."

"Do you still remember what that person looks like?" Chu Yunxi asked hurriedly.

Xiao Tao shook her head. "I only remember that he was wearing a white shirt. As for his appearance, he seemed quite ordinary. He was the kind that you wouldn't be able to tell apart in a crowd of people."

Chu Yunxi was a little disappointed, but it was normal after thinking about it. If it was really that easy to be recognized, she would have to disguise herself.

It was already noon when they came out of the Dou family. Chu Yunxi saw that this place was not far from Ruyun Tower, so she told Xiao Mubei to go to Ruyun Tower for dinner.

As soon as she entered the gate of Ruyun Building, Chu Yunxi was surprised to see Wan Ruwei busy as a top, receiving guests and arranging seats. When she saw Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei coming, she immediately flew over like a butterfly and said happily: "Junior sister, you are here."

Chu Yunxi held her forehead with her hand. It seemed that she adapted quickly and got used to calling her "Junior Sister" so quickly.

Wan Ruwei said proudly: "You see, I did a pretty good job, right? I arranged all the guests today, and everything is in order."

Chu Yunxi gave a thumbs up, "Not bad, you are very capable, Sister-in-law, and you have strong adaptability. How about Brother?"

"He's cooking in the kitchen. He said you'd probably come over at noon, so he'll cook for you himself. Let's go. The room upstairs is reserved for you. The food should be ready soon."

"Senior brother can actually predict the future?" Chu Yunxi was a little surprised.

Xiao Mubei smiled and said, "Senior brother knows you too well."

"Okay, okay. I'm hungry. It would be great if you prepared it in advance." Chu Yunxi was happy to have something delicious. The depressed feeling she had after meeting the families of the victims in the morning finally made her feel better.

Wan Ruwei didn't go upstairs with them, as she still had to entertain guests. As soon as Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei reached the third floor, they heard Wan Ruwei suddenly raise her voice, "Get out, you are not welcome here."

What’s going on? Why are you kicking the guests out?

Chu Yunxi quickly stretched her head down from the third floor and saw that she met her enemies again. They were the three men who had teased Wan Ruwei three days ago.

Chu Yunxi saw that although the styles of these men's clothes had changed, the colors did not change, and they were still pink, white and green.

At this moment, the man in pink was not convinced, "Your store is open to customers, why don't you let us in?"

"No reason. This store is mine and I have the final say. I won't let you in. Do you still want to be beaten?" Wan Ruwei did not give in.

"You!" The man in pink was so angry that he couldn't speak. The man in white saw Wen Rulan coming out from behind, so he said, "If you don't want me here, I'll find another place to stay. Third brother, don't bother with a woman. Let's go."

The man in pink wanted to say something but was pulled away by the other two people.

The customers in the store didn't know what was going on and were talking about it. Wan Ruwei turned around and said loudly: "These three people are not good people. Everyone, stay away from them if you see them next time."
