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

Seeing Chu Yunxi leaning her head on her hands and thinking hard, Xiao Mubei tactfully kept silent and picked up Chu Yunxi's autopsy report to read. After reading for a while, he suddenly heard a slight snoring sound from the person sitting opposite him. He looked up and could not help but laugh and cry. Chu Yunxi actually fell asleep while sitting.

It seemed that she was really too tired. Xiao Mubei shook his head with concern, went over, gently picked her up, and put her back on her bed. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he lovingly traced her eyebrows, eyes and cheeks with his fingers. Thinking that it would not be long before she would become his real wife, his heart was filled with joy.

Chu Yunxi woke up and it was already daybreak. She rubbed her eyes and remembered that she had fallen asleep while thinking about a case last night. It seemed that she had to trouble Xiao Mubei to carry the baby back to her again. She felt a little embarrassed and was about to get up to find Xiao Mubei. When she put her hand down, she bumped into someone.

Chu Yunxi turned her head and saw that Xiao Mubei had just been woken up by her and looked up. He actually slept beside her bed all night last night!

Chu Yunxi was startled, "My Lord, why are you here?"

Xiao Mubei was a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly to cover up and said, "Well, I brought you back last night and felt a little tired, so I wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but I accidentally fell asleep."

In fact, he was reluctant to leave and kept looking at Chu Yunxi until he fell asleep. After he finished speaking, Xiao Mubei didn't dare to look at Chu Yunxi and said in a panic, "I'll ask Bai Yu to prepare breakfast. You should also get up, wash up and have breakfast together."

After saying that, without waiting for Chu Yunxi to answer, he left the room like a gust of wind.

Chu Yunxi knew clearly what was going on. Seeing Xiao Mubei in a panic, she actually felt a little secretly happy, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. So she got up, washed, and went out in a very good mood.

The weather is great, the spring breeze is blowing on my face, the newly grown leaves are lush and green, and the fresh morning air penetrates into my pores, making me feel indescribably comfortable. Spring is just great, the temperature, the weather, the mood, everything is just right.

After Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei had dinner together, a constable came back with a report that he had taken the longevity lock to several gold shops to have the owners identify it. Finally, it was identified as a longevity lock made by Lao Changji Gold Shop more than 20 years ago. The owner of Lao Changji took out the account book and checked it for a long time before he found out that the customer who made the longevity lock was named Cui. He vaguely remembered that she was a gentle and sweet-looking woman, but he couldn't remember the details because it was too long ago.

It was made by a woman, who should be the mother of the owner of the longevity lock. This was another clue. Chu Yunxi took the longevity lock and asked the constable to take a rest. She looked at the longevity lock in her hand again and again and asked, "Do you know the surnames of the two women in the Li family?"

Xiao Mubei was stunned. He really didn't know this. In this era, women, once married, would take their husband's surname. Their own surnames and given names became unimportant. Many people would never be mentioned their names again from the time they got married until they were old.

"Let's go ask Butcher Zhang."

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei came to the prison again and met Zhang the Butcher. Chu Yunxi took out the longevity lock and asked, "Zhang the Butcher, do you recognize this longevity lock?"

Butcher Zhang hadn't slept all night and his eyes were red. He looked up at the longevity lock in Chu Yunxi's hand with a somewhat slow reaction, shook his head and said nothing.

Chu Yunxi put away the longevity lock and asked again: "How many years have you been in Qilou Street? Do you know all the neighbors in Qilou Street?"

Butcher Zhang raised his eyes again and nodded this time. "I have worked in Qilou Street for twenty years. I know almost all the neighbors here."

"Do you have a son?" Chu Yunxi suddenly asked again.

Her thoughts were jumping around a bit, and Butcher Zhang couldn't keep up with her pace. He was stunned for a while before answering, "I haven't married yet, so how can I have a son?"

Chu Yunxi frowned, realizing something was wrong. Butcher Zhang was already over 40 years old this year, and the longevity lock was made more than 20 years ago. If Butcher Zhang happened to have a son at that time, then the timing would fit. But if not, Butcher Zhang was in his twenties at that time, and was not the age that needed a longevity lock.

However, Li Jinze's age does fit the bill. If the longevity lock belongs to Li Jinze, then this clue will be broken.

Chu Yunxi took a deep breath and asked, "Then do you know what the maiden names of the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family and the old lady of the Li family are?"

"The maiden family of the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family and the old lady..." Butcher Zhang pondered, "It seems that the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family is surnamed... Lin, yes, surnamed Lin, and her name is Lin Baozhu. As for the old lady of the Li family..." Butcher Zhang thought for a long time and shook his head. I was too young when she got married and I don't remember it.

Chu Yunxi put away the longevity lock, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Butcher Zhang, you keep saying that you were wronged, but you can't provide any information about your whereabouts on the night of the fire. How can we believe you? Do you have any evidence to prove that you are not the arsonist?"

Butcher Zhang was speechless for a long while before he said, "The conflict between me and the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family is not that big, so I wouldn't kill their whole family. Besides, the eldest brother of the Li family is a good person, and Jin Ze is Tianzhi's friend. How could I kill them all?"

In fact, Chu Yunxi is now almost certain that Butcher Zhang is not the murderer. Last night, she detected hallucinogenic drugs in the body of Li's eldest sister-in-law, but no such drugs were found in Butcher Zhang's home. In addition, his confession and the appearance of the incense at that time were very coincidental. Now thinking about it, the murderer seemed to know that they were going to search Butcher Zhang's home, so he put the incense in Butcher Zhang's home.

The speculation that she had suppressed yesterday reappeared in her mind and could not be shaken off.

"Okay, Butcher Zhang, I hope what you said is true. We will investigate further. If you really didn't do it, we will clear your name." Chu Yunxi said to Butcher Zhang.

Butcher Zhang seemed to have aged more than ten years since he was brought back yesterday. He thought he was doomed this time. Although the Dali Temple did not torture him, they had almost confirmed that he was the murderer. Now when he heard Chu Yunxi say this, he couldn't believe his ears. After a long pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

After walking out of the prison, Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei: "Your Majesty, I will go to examine Li Jinze's body. After I finish, let's go to the Seventh Floor Street. I have some questions that I need to check clearly."

Li Jinze's body had already been brought over by Wen Rulan, so Xiao Mubei naturally had no objection and said, "I'll go get the carriage ready for you."
