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

Chu Yunxi slapped her head. Yes, why didn't she think of such an obvious thing? Because the murderer was quick and good at Qinggong, and because the people he killed were all Caifeng's patrons, she subconsciously thought that the murderer was a man who was jealous of Caifeng and killed people. She never thought that the murderer might be a woman!

But the question arises again, if the murderer is really a woman, why did she kill? Her target this morning was He Ruilin, who did not stay at Caifeng's house last night, but in Chunyu's room. It seems that the murderer did not kill for Caifeng, and the first two may have just happened by chance.

The murderer was probably going to kill someone who frequented brothels and had questionable character.

Chu Yunxi stood up hurriedly and said to Wen Rulan, "Brother, you are really my lucky star. I have decided to invest another 10,000 taels in Ruyun Tower. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Chu Yunxi hurried away with Hongyu and Qingmei. Wen Rulan shook her head lovingly, saying that she was indeed the daughter-in-law of the royal family. She was now very wealthy and asked for ten thousand taels of silver at the first request.

However, Ruyun Tower is now making considerable profits. The ten thousand taels can be saved and given to her as a betrothal gift when she officially becomes Princess Dingbei. This way, she won't have to spend money and won't appear stingy. Perfect. Just do it this way. Wen Rulan feels that she is really smart.

Chu Yunxi had no idea that Wen Rulan was planning to give her her own money as a betrothal gift. Her mind was now full of the case.

After returning to the Dali Temple, before she had time to look for Xiao Mubei, she ran into Li Jinghong who had gone out to investigate He Ruilin. As soon as Li Jinghong saw her, he said, "Princess, it's just as you expected. He Ruilin is a minor official in the Imperial College, responsible for purchasing in the Imperial College. He always looks at female students with a lecherous look on his face, and likes to discuss with his colleagues which female student has a good figure or big breasts. He always takes advantage of female students when he has the chance. The female students in the Imperial College all stay away from him because he has some connections above. So even though the Imperial College's chief priest knows that he has bad behavior, he can only turn a blind eye."

That's right. Chu Yunxi understood the murderer's criteria for selecting targets, and realized that her previous thinking was wrong. The murderer was not Caifeng's fan, but might be a woman who had been harmed by a person of bad character.

"Okay, I get it. Li Shaoqing, you've worked hard. Tell the brothers that after the case is solved, I'll treat everyone to a good meal at Ruyun Tower."

"Thank you, Princess." Li Jinghong smiled happily. The food at Ruyun Tower is famous in the capital for its delicious food.

Chu Yunxi hurried to Xiao Mubei's bedroom. As soon as she pushed the door, Xiao Mubei woke up. The alertness of a martial artist is incomparable to ordinary people.

Chu Yunxi apologized, "I woke you up."

Xiao Mubei sat up from the bed, shook his head, pulled Chu Yunxi into his arms, still feeling very tired, and said, "I was awake anyway. I feel much better after a good sleep."

Chu Yunxi touched his cheek distressedly, "You have lost weight recently. I asked Hei Mu to prepare food for you."

"Okay." Xiao Mubei buried his head in her shoulder, his voice muffled.

Chu Yunxi knew that his fatigue had not actually passed. He was too tired. How could he recover after a short sleep? Even though Xiao Mubei had martial arts skills and was in better spirits than most people, he couldn't be overdrawn. After the case was solved, he must be allowed to rest well.

Hei Mu quickly brought the food over. While Xiao Mubei was eating, Chu Yunxi said, "Your Majesty, I remembered what clues I overlooked."

"What?" Xiao Mubei ate quickly. He knew that Chu Yunxi was still waiting for him to go to Fenglai Tower together.

"We had always thought that the murderer killed people because he was obsessed with Caifeng, but in fact, the person the murderer wanted to kill this morning, He Ruilin, did not spend the night at Caifeng's place last night, so our idea was wrong. The murderer was not someone who was obsessed with Caifeng."

"Why did the murderer kill people?" Xiao Mubei knew that Chu Yunxi must have the answer.

As expected, Chu Yunxi said, "I asked Li Shaoqing to investigate the three victims and found that they were all people of bad character and disrespectful to women. So, I think this is the condition for the murderer to choose his target. In this way, the murderer is not limited to men, but women are more motivated. So, Your Majesty, we only focused on men before, which gave the murderer another opportunity this morning. Think about it, did any woman from Fenglai Tower leave last night?"

Xiao Mubei asked in surprise: "You mean, the murderer is a woman?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "We have analyzed that the murderer is shorter than the victims. In fact, the two victims are not very tall. Although there are short men, your Highness, do you think that this height is more common among women?"

Xiao Mubei thought about it, it was true, and only this could explain why none of the men in Fenglai Tower came out last night, but the murderer still came out. Last night they only focused on the men and really didn't restrict the freedom of the women. He thought about it, "After the singing and dancing ended last night, the girls who didn't have any guests came out except for the ones who received the guests. There were also some maids, including the zither player Bai Xue, and some girls who were just performing for money. They didn't live in the building. In short, many girls came out. We didn't expect the murderer to be a woman, so we didn't care how many girls came out."

"Then we can only check based on his height and skills. The murderer must be in Fenglai Tower." Chu Yunxi said affirmatively.

After Xiao Mubei finished his meal, the two of them brought Hei Mu back to Fenglai Tower. Mother Du came up to them and said with a sad face, "My Lord, Princess, the guards didn't leave last night. Can they leave tonight?"

"It's okay." Chu Yunxi said.

Mother Du's face lit up with joy, "Did you catch the murderer?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head. "No, but their suspicion has been ruled out. Mother Du, are all the girls in the building here now?"

"Girls?" Mother Du looked at Chu Yunxi with some confusion.

Chu Yunxi said: "Not only the girls who receive guests, but all the girls in the building, including maids, technicians, etc., are they here?"

Mother Du shook her head, "It's not time to go to work yet. The girls are here, the maids are here, but the artisans who perform for money haven't come yet."

"Are there any of these girls who know Kung Fu?"

Mother Du laughed, "Oh, Princess, this is a brothel, not a martial arts place. The girls are all so delicate, how could they know kung fu? Princess, you are such a joker."
