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

Cai Feng hastily agreed to Chu Yunxi's request. Thinking that there was such a crazy person among her suitors, she couldn't help but get scared. She stammered, "Princess...Princess, do you think this person will kill me too?"

Chu Yunxi stared at her. Although her face was covered with a scarf, her eyes were bright and charming, her eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, and her skin was fair. She was indeed bright and beautiful.

"You have been closed to visitors recently. If you find anyone suspicious, don't disobey him. Follow his wishes first, and then find a chance to report to the Dali Temple. I think the murderer is obsessed with you and won't be willing to kill you."

"Yeah." Cai Feng nodded in agreement.

At this time, Mother Du came out with the roster. Chu Yunxi took it and looked through it, and asked, "Mother Du, I didn't expect you to be so meticulous. You recorded the guests each girl received every night. Do you know the identities of these people?"

"Thank you for the compliment, Princess. I was just thinking to be on the safe side. In our line of work, accidents are common. If you are not careful, you might die without knowing how you died." She paused, then continued, "But we are just registering names. We know the identities of some of the regular customers, but we don't know the identities of some of the infrequent ones."

Chu Yunxi turned to the page about Caifeng and saw that Caifeng had started receiving customers before the New Year. It had been almost five months now. During these five months, she had customers almost every night, even during the New Year.

Chu Yunxi couldn't help but gasp. How could she bear this? It seemed that being a prostitute wasn't that easy.

She looked carefully and found that in the past five months, there were about fifty repeat customers, including the two deceased, and more than thirty who had only come once. Chu Yunxi screened out the customers who had only come once. The murderer could not be among them, because if the murderer really was someone who loved Caifeng, it would be impossible for him to come only once and kill for her.

There were more than fifty people left. Chu Yunxi asked Caifeng to come over and pick out all the people whose backgrounds and family backgrounds she knew. She told them one by one what she knew about this person. Chu Yunxi wrote them down one by one and waited for investigation.

There were still fifteen people whose backgrounds even Caifeng didn't know. Chu Yunxi asked Mother Du to come and identify them. Mother Du didn't know either, and wasn't even sure whether the names were real.

These people could be the murderer or the next victim. Chu Yunxi did not dare to delay and immediately asked Hei Mu to take the list to the constables and ask them to investigate those whose family background they knew first. As for the remaining fifteen people, they could only go to the Ministry of Households for inquiries.

Chu Yunxi couldn't help but miss the network system and the Sky Eye system of her time. No matter who it was, by entering their name, they could find out how many people with that name there were in the country. And if someone committed a crime, the Sky Eye system would make it impossible for them to hide. Unlike now, finding a person depends entirely on manual labor, which is an extremely huge project.

"If these people come again, you must immediately find someone to report to the Dali Temple and find a way to keep them here, understand? Only by cooperating with us to catch the murderer quickly can you resume business as soon as possible and protect more people." Chu Yunxi said to Mother Du and Caifeng before leaving.

The two nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.

After leaving Fenglai Tower, Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei: "My Lord, do you want to monitor the people on this list tonight? First, for protection, and second, to prevent the murderer from being among them."

"But according to the situation over the past two days, the murderer's target is the people who stayed at Caifeng's place that night. If Caifeng doesn't accept guests tonight, then the murderer will have no target, right?"

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment, "I'm afraid that the murderer still has some grudges. If no one stays at Caifeng's place, what if he goes to look for someone who stayed there before? No, that's not right." Chu Yunxi suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something. Xiao Mubei asked, "What's wrong?"

"I overlooked one thing. The murderer knew where the victim lived. In addition, he also knew who stayed at Caifeng's place that night."

"You mean, the murderer is from Fenglai Tower?" Xiao Mubei also came to his senses.

"Yes, maybe our thinking just now was wrong. The murderer might not be among the guests staying overnight, but someone from Fenglai Tower. He watched Caifeng perform on the stage every day and was deeply infatuated with her, but he felt that his status was not worthy of her, or he had no money and could not get close to Caifeng, so he hated those who stayed at Caifeng's place."

"He knew who stayed at Caifeng's place at night, which means he was at the auction. And as someone from Fenglai Building, it is very easy for him to find out where a person's home is. He can easily wait for that person to come home and ambush him. But how does he know when this person will leave?" Xiao Mubei was puzzled.

"It's actually very simple. These people are not the first time to come to Fenglai Tower. The murderer must have been observing for a long time and knows the pattern of their departure. So, he has planned it for a long time." Chu Yunxi pulled Xiao Mubei, "Let's go and ask Caifeng again."

The two returned to Fenglai Building. Mother Du was scolding Caifeng, saying that she had brought trouble to the building and that she could not receive any guests for several days. The losses caused had to be compensated to the building. Caifeng was unwilling to do so. The two were arguing when the turtle slave came in with Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi.

Mother Du's face changed, but she quickly put on a smile and greeted them, "Prince, Princess, why are you back again? Did you leave something behind?"

"I have something else to ask Miss Caifeng," Chu Yunxi looked at Caifeng. She was originally unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything. When she heard that Chu Yunxi still wanted to ask her, she forced a smile and said, "Princess, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Is there anyone pursuing you in Fenglai Tower?" Chu Yunxi asked straight to the point.

Cai Feng didn't understand for a moment, so Chu Yunxi asked in more detail, "Even the people in Fenglai Tower, whether they are servants or thugs, have any of them ever expressed their desire to pursue you?"

Mother Du's expression changed again. "Princess, what do you mean by this? We in Fenglai Tower also have rules. Our people must not have any ideas about hitting on the girl."

"Oh? Is there such a rule?" Chu Yunxi felt that this was even more correct. For fear of breaking the rules, the murderer might not dare to pursue Caifeng openly and could only like her secretly. However, he was jealous of those men who could spend a good night with Caifeng, so he turned jealousy into hatred. Judging from the murderer's method of killing, Chu Yunxi was more inclined to believe that the murderer was the security guard of Fenglai Building.
