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

Xiao Mubei thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. It would be enough to find the valuables. There was no need to scatter the things all over the floor. What's more, it was not just a little bit that was scattered. All the things in Zhao Wenxu's bag and the boxes on his back were scattered out, and he scattered them while walking, all over the room. If he was really looking for valuables, he should have put the bag and boxes there, and the things should be scattered in the same area.

"Why did the murderer do this?" Xiao Mubei asked puzzledly.

Chu Yunxi put down the inkstone, stood up and said, "I think the murderer didn't kill for money. At least, he didn't kill for money alone."

"Could it be that the murderer has other purposes? Is he just creating the illusion of killing for money?" Xiao Mubei understood what Chu Yunxi meant.

"That's possible. Let's go, Prince. Let's go to the next crime scene."

After the two came out of Zhuangyuan Inn, they went directly to the second inn where the incident happened, Sanjia Inn. This inn hired more than a dozen burly guards to patrol the inn every day. Except for the room where the incident happened, other places were patrolled countless times every day, giving enough sense of security and finally preventing other students from leaving.

Chu Yunxi sighed and said, "It turns out that people's brains are different."

The shopkeeper greeted the two of them warmly, and took them upstairs to the door of the room where the accident happened, saying along the way: "Is this your first time here? The government has ordered that no one is allowed to approach this room. I have sent people to guard it day and night, and no one will get close to it."

As expected, there were two guards standing at the door of the room. Xiao Mubei casually threw out a silver ingot and said, "Well done, keep it up."

The shopkeeper left with a smile on his face. Chu Yunxi covered her mouth and giggled. She whispered to Xiao Mubei, "How can you be so partial to one and not to another? Why didn't the owner of the first inn give me a reward?"

Xiao Mubei said innocently, "He didn't even smile at me, and he still wants my reward? Dream on."

Indeed, when doing business, you still have to learn to greet people with a smile.

Chu Yunxi looked directly at the door, and sure enough, she saw another cross in an inconspicuous place below. Now she was basically certain that this was the mark given to the murderer by the murderer's accomplice. The murderer used this mark to accurately find the victim and kill him directly after entering the door.

The house was also in a mess, similar to the first room. Chu Yunxi checked it carefully and came to the same conclusion as the first case.

After a day of searching the scene, except for the case in the ruined temple, the inconspicuous small cross was found in the other four cases. It is now confirmed that the murderer has an accomplice among the students. Why is it certain that the accomplice is also a student? Because only students can blend in with other students and not attract attention.

It was already evening when they returned to the Dali Temple. Chu Yunxi was so tired that she collapsed on the couch in the study. Xiao Mubei stood behind her and massaged her shoulders. Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "If the two emperors knew that the dignified King Dingbei served me like this every day, I'm afraid they would want to kill me."

Xiao Mubei said as a matter of course: "Being good to Madam is only natural, isn't it? You are pregnant now, and you follow me everywhere every day. If your elder and second brothers knew about this, I'm afraid they would want to make me suffer."

Chu Yunxi recalled the nervous looks of her elder brother, second brother and elder sister-in-law last night and knew that Xiao Mubei was telling the truth.

Chu Yunxi's mind returned to the case. She closed her eyes, reviewed the case in her mind, and said, "The clues we have now are: first, the murderer has an accomplice, and this accomplice is 99% likely to be a student. Second, this person has appeared at four crime scenes. Next, we need to investigate who met the deceased about seven days before the crime. See if we can find someone who overlaps with the deceased among these people. This person is a big suspect. Third, we don't know what the murderer's real intention is in killing the student. We must find out as soon as possible so that we can prevent it from happening again. Otherwise, I'm afraid the murderer will commit crimes again."

Xiao Mubei said, "I will send people to check each inn to see if there is a cross on anyone's door. Let's make sure no more cases happen, and then hurry up to investigate the problem you just mentioned."

"That's right, Your Highness, please go and make the arrangements. I'll rest here and wait for you." Chu Yunxi held his hand, telling him to hurry up and get busy.

Xiao Mubei knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he patted Chu Yunxi on the shoulder and said, "Then wait for me here, I will come to pick you up and take you back to the palace after I have made arrangements."

Chu Yunxi nodded obediently and watched Xiao Mubei leave with a smile. She lay there not wanting to move and closed her eyes unconsciously.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I felt dizzy. Chu Yunxi's brain had been tense all the time, so she opened her eyes almost immediately. Everything in front of her was blurry. She endured the discomfort brought by the dizziness and said hurriedly, "Child, I am your mother, can you hear me? Remember, you are the son of King Dingbei of Dasui, not someone who is more than a thousand years later. Your roots are in Dasui, do you know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body stopped spinning abruptly. A bright light appeared in front of his eyes, which made Chu Yunxi raise her head to cover her eyes. It took her a while to adapt. She put her hands down and found herself standing in her own living room again.

The main lights in the living room were on, illuminating the room. Another Chu Yunxi and her parents were having dinner. The aroma wafted into Chu Yunxi's nose, and she hurried over to see what they were eating. This sight made her even more greedy, as her family were actually cooking hot pot.

Mother Chu took out the mutton and put it in another bowl of Chu Yunxi, saying, "Yunxi, eat more. Why do you look thinner recently? You are going to be a bride, so you can't stay so thin. Don't lose weight, okay?"

The other Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "I know, mom. I never lose weight. My body and hair are given by my parents. As long as mom doesn't agree, I have to protect it even if I am fat."

Mother Chu was delighted. "You, my child, have become so talkative now. On the contrary, Xiaobei is as quiet as a girl. By the way, the wedding date for you and Xiaobei has been set. There will be a lot of things to do next. Go to bed early in the future and don't stay up late, okay?"

The other Chu Yunxi said, "I know, Mom. Xiaobei told me the other day that the boiled fish you made was so delicious that he couldn't get enough."

Mother Chu smiled and said, "No wonder you two can get along so well, you both have similar tastes. Don't you love the boiled fish that mom makes the most? But I saw that you didn't eat much that day, was it because you didn't have a good appetite that day?"
