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

The woman saw her husband's eyes looking at her, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. She felt a chill on the back of her head, the hair on her body stood up, and she couldn't help crying again.

Chu Yunxi was not in a hurry. She let her cry for a while before she said, "Your husband is now waiting for his injustice to be vindicated. His death was unclear. Whether we can catch the murderer quickly depends on whether you will cooperate with us."

The woman bit her lip and sobbed for a long time before she said, "Actually...actually I know he didn't come back last night, not because of any big clients, but..."

Seeing that she was still hesitant, Chu Yunxi couldn't help but ask anxiously, "But what?"

"Instead, I went to a brothel." The woman closed her eyes and finally said it out loud with a determined heart.

Chu Yunxi was startled and asked, "Are we going to Fenglai Tower?"

The woman opened her eyes and asked in surprise, "How did you know that, young lady?"

Chu Yunxi let out a long breath, calmed down, and did not reply to the woman's words. She just asked, "Are you sure he went to Fenglai Tower last night?"

The woman shook her head. "It was about two months ago. He told me that he couldn't come back at night, but I didn't take it seriously. When I went out to buy something at night, I ran into him. He didn't see me and walked away in a hurry. I was very surprised. Wasn't the restaurant said to be busy? Why did he come out? So I followed him all the way to Fenglai Tower. He went in without hesitation. So I went to the clothing store next door to change into men's clothes and followed him in. I saw many people bidding for a girl. Whoever bid the highest could stay with the girl for one night. I saw Li Changlin spend a lot of money and got the girl that night. I never knew he had so much money. So later, whenever he found an excuse not to come back, I guessed he went to Fenglai Tower."

"That girl, is her name Caifeng?"

The woman was even more surprised, "Girl, you even know this?"

It seems that this matter is indeed related to Caifeng. The murderer must be Caifeng's admirer. He either couldn't get the love he wanted or had a strong possessive desire, so he killed all the men who had touched Caifeng.

"He went to the brothel, didn't you hold it against him?" Chu Yunxi thought of the woman crying very sadly just now and felt a little confused.

The woman sighed, "Don't men just like to seek excitement? He went to the brothel just to have some fun, it's not a big deal. As long as he doesn't marry that woman, why should I bother with him? I'm not such a jealous person."

Chu Yunxi was speechless. Yesterday, Ma Mingxuan's wife He Cuilian turned a blind eye to her husband's visit to the brothel, and today Li Changlin's wife did the same. This ancient etiquette and legal system really did harm to women.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xiao Mubei, her eyes filled with inquiry. Xiao Mubei was a little puzzled. What did her eyes mean?

But Chu Yunxi didn't look at him for long. She turned around and asked the woman, "So whether he went to Fenglai Tower last night or not, you are just guessing, you don't have any real evidence, right?"

The woman nodded helplessly and said, "Although I don't have any evidence, he must have gone to Fenglai Tower. I know him."

"Okay, go back now. Try not to go out for the next two days. We need to take Li Changlin's body back to the Dali Temple for a detailed inspection. We will return the body to you for burial in two days."

The woman said with tears in her eyes: "Girl, you must find the murderer and seek justice for Chang Lin. How are we, an orphan and a widow, going to live in the future?" As she spoke, she became sad again.

Chu Yunxi didn't know how to comfort her. If she were such a philandering man, she would divorce him even if no one killed him. But these women felt that the sky would fall if they left their husbands. Ultimately, it was the drawbacks of this society, and the only ones who were hurt were women and children.

After handling the scene and lifting the blockade, Chu Yunxi arranged for Li Jinghong to go to the restaurant where Li Changlin worked to find out whether Li Changlin had worked there last night. She and Xiao Mubei went to Fenglai Tower to see Miss Caifeng. Two people had died in succession, so it was time to go see her.

The troops were divided into two groups and everyone evacuated Hualou Street and went to different places. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi came to Fenglai Tower together. It was decorated extremely luxuriously and was worthy of being one of the best brothels in the capital. It was of similar grade to Zui Chunfeng and the girls inside were also among the best.

However, it was not the opening hours of Fenglai Tower, so the door was closed and the entire building was quiet. Hei Mu went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a servant came to open the door, yawning, and said without opening his eyes, "We are not open yet. Come back in the evening." Then he was about to close the door.

Hei Mu held the door with one hand to prevent him from closing it, and took out the token with the other hand, "Dali Temple is investigating the case, call out the madam and Miss Caifeng."

The turtle slave saw the token. It was from the Dingbei Palace, not the Dali Temple. Did the prince come in person? He was so frightened that he was no longer sleepy. He ran in and called for help.

Hei Mu opened the door and let Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei in. There was no one in the hall at the moment, but it would be crowded with people at night. In the center of the hall was a circular stage. Chu Yunxi could imagine that at night, there would be beautiful women dancing on it, wearing very little clothes, attracting those hungry men. Sometimes, the madam would auction those popular girls on it. Here, people are just objects that can be bought and sold at will, and they have no right to say no.

There was a sound coming from upstairs. Chu Yunxi looked up and saw a woman in her forties running out in a hurry. She should be the madam of Fenglai Tower. She went downstairs without even bothering to wash and dress up. After coming down, she looked at Xiao Mubei for a few times, then knelt down and said, "I didn't know that the King of Dingbei had arrived. I'm sorry. I didn't know why the King came..."

She glanced at Chu Yunxi. The prince came with a woman, it seemed that he was not here for pleasure. Just now, the eunuch said that the prince came to investigate a case and specifically asked Caifeng to come down. Could it be that there was another case involving Caifeng? Didn’t he come here to investigate yesterday morning?

Although Fenglailou was one of the most famous brothels in the capital, and many princes and nobles came to visit, she did not dare to act presumptuously before she knew Xiao Mubei's intention. She had heard that this King Dingbei had returned from the battlefield in southern Xinjiang and was cold and selfless and difficult to approach. She must not end up losing more than she gained.

"Where is Caifeng?" Xiao Mubei asked with a cold face and a cold voice.

"Caifeng, come down immediately." The madam heard Xiao Mubei's cold voice, and could not tell whether he was happy or sad, angry or joyful. Her heart began to beat fast, for fear that Caifeng had caused trouble again and brought trouble to Fenglai Tower.
