The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 290 Commonalities
Chu Yunxi's mind moved, and she called out, "Bai Yu."
Bai Yu immediately appeared beside Chu Yunxi, "Princess."
"Send someone to keep an eye on these three people and find out where they come from. Remember, find someone with good Qinggong skills to keep an eye on them."
"Yes."
After Bai Yu left, Xiao Mubei asked, "Do you suspect these three people?"
Chu Yunxi said: "It's not that I doubt them, I just have a hunch that they are not good people, so I'll check them out to make sure I'm at ease."
Wen Rulan also walked up to Wan Ruwei at this time, "Are they the three people I met that day?"
Wan Ruwei nodded, "I kicked them out. We can't let people like this come here and disturb other guests."
"Well done," Wen Rulan touched Wan Ruwei's head approvingly, "You can't be polite to people like this. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."
Wan Ruwei smiled happily. Chu Yunxi was watching their interaction from upstairs with a smile on her face. It seemed like good things were really going to happen.
Wen Rulan made Jiangnan stir-fried pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, abalone and eggplant dragon, and stir-fried three fresh vegetables for Chu Yunxi. Although they were not precious ingredients, they were all the flavors that Chu Yunxi liked.
Chu Yunxi said contentedly while eating: "Otherwise, why would I love to eat here so much, Senior Brother? His cooking skills are so good that I can eat three meals a day without getting tired of it."
"I'll get tired of cooking three meals a day." Wen Rulan hit Chu Yunxi unceremoniously, "You can come occasionally, but don't come every day."
"Stingy." Chu Yunxi snorted in dissatisfaction, but her chopsticks kept moving.
Wan Ruwei smiled and said, "Junior sister, I welcome you to come every day. Your senior brother has a sharp tongue but a kind heart." She whispered to Chu Yunxi in a voice that everyone at the table could hear, "Today, he has already started preparing the dishes for you."
Wen Rulan deliberately frowned, "Wan Ruwei, which side are you on?"
Wan Ruwei stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I am on the side of justice, I only tell the truth."
Everyone at the table laughed. Chu Yunxi knew, of course, that Wen Rulan was good to her. In this strange dynasty, she and Wen Rulan could be said to be the only relatives. It was no exaggeration to say that they depended on each other. Although each of them had their own family and lover, the kinship between people from the same place was irreplaceable.
After lunch and a short break, Bai Yu came back and said to Chu Yunxi, "Princess, I found out that the three men are somewhat famous in the martial arts world. They are called the Merlin Three Heroes. They are three sworn brothers. They usually make a living as bounty hunters. It is said that they are all good at Qinggong and rarely fight head-on. After accepting a job, they usually plot secretly. Because they rarely fail, their bounties are usually higher. By the way, I heard that these three people are very lustful and often tease decent women."
"The Three Heroes of Merlin..." Chu Yunxi murmured the name, "Mei...Bougainvillea, good at Qinggong, lustful..."
She said to Xiao Mubei: "Could it be that they are the ones we are looking for?"
"It sounds like they are quite similar." Xiao Mubei also felt that everything seemed to match.
"It can't be... such a coincidence?" Chu Yunxi found it a little unbelievable.
Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei looked at Xiao Mubei and then at Chu Yunxi, not knowing what they were talking about.
Chu Yunxi asked Bai Yu, "Are these three people from Southern Xinjiang?"
Bai Yu shook his head. "I'm not sure. I asked a lot of people, but no one knows where they came from."
"Okay, keep a close eye on them and don't let them escape our control for the time being. Report their whereabouts to me in a timely manner." Chu Yunxi made the arrangements, and Bai Yu immediately responded and went out.
"What happened?" Wen Rulan asked, "Are those three people involved in the case?"
"It's just a suspicion at the moment, there's no evidence." Chu Yunxi told Wen Rulan about the serial murder case of the flower thief, and finally said: "Combining all the clues, the murderer is not one person, and they are all good at Qinggong, and they can enter and leave the mansions of wealthy families as if they were in an empty space. They have a deep connection with southern Xinjiang and love to use plum blossoms. Now several of the three heroes of Meilin match up, so he is a strong suspect."
Wen Rulan thought for a moment, "They are indeed very suspicious, but they were not in the capital the last time we met them. If they had just arrived in the capital at that time, then they would not have committed the previous case. If they were leaving the capital, then why are they back now? The timing doesn't make sense."
Chu Yunxi thought about it carefully. This was indeed a suspicious point. Besides, there was no evidence to prove that these three people were suspects. Intuition alone was not enough.
"Okay, let's just monitor them first. Once we find evidence, it won't be too late to arrest them if they really did it."
In the afternoon, Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei visited several other victims and found something in common: several girls had been out for nearly half a month, four of them had been to the Lantern Festival, and had been approached that night. The maids' statements were also consistent, saying that they did not see their appearance clearly. Either they went to help the young lady buy things, or they got separated. In short, they did not see anyone, and only Xiaotao saw them, but she did not remember their appearance.
Perhaps this is also the reason why several girls got into trouble but the maids were fine.
It is said that the maids were also drugged at the time, but the difference was that the maids woke up the next day and were unharmed, while the young ladies all died.
In addition to the Lantern Festival, the other three girls went to the painted boat for fun, and they were alone for some time. According to the maids' recollections, they all behaved abnormally after they returned. It is certain that they met someone when they were alone in the painted boat, but they refused to say.
When she came out of Wei Xiang's Mansion, it was already completely dark. After being busy for a whole day, Chu Yunxi was so tired that she didn't even want to talk about it. However, her mind was very active, and she kept recalling the clues she had received today in her mind.
"Your Highness, it seems that the murderer did not just randomly pick a family to kill, but had met the victim beforehand, either flirting with her, chatting her up, or giving her gifts. In short, he must have first found a way to find out where the girl came from, and then specifically entered the girl's bedroom at night to commit the crime."
"That's right, how do they choose people? Based on appearance? Height?" Xiao Mubei was also puzzled.
These seven girls don't seem to have anything in common. Some are tall, some are short, some are fat, and some are thin. Apart from the fact that they are all ladies from wealthy families, they don't seem to have anything in common.
"No, there must be something I have overlooked. The murderer must not be someone chosen randomly." Chu Yunxi pondered over it but still had no clue.
Seeing Chu Yunxi frowning and looking very haggard, Xiao Mubei couldn't help but said distressedly: "Okay, don't think about it, have a good rest tonight, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."
