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

Chapter 529 Pressure

After Li Jinghong finished speaking, Chu Yunxi had just finished reading. She snorted coldly, "Li Shaoqing, check the case of Su Xin. There may really be such a victim, but the inside story may not be as written in the letter. They want to divert our attention by throwing out the murder of Qin Huaijin, and at the same time give us a perfect murderer. If we are eager to get the job done, we can close the case by saying that the murderer committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this is more like a provocation to us."

Xiao Mubei continued, "That's right. He made someone commit suicide in front of our Dali Temple. If we convict Qin Huaijin as the murderer, then the murderer's tricks will probably be all over the place."

A constable was outside reporting, "Your Majesty, Princess, Li Shaoqing, and Mr. Qin, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, have arrived."

It was Qin Youwei who came. Chu Yunxi said to Li Jinghong, "Please trouble Li Shaoqing to check more about Su Xin. The prince and I will go to see Lord Qin."

"Yes, Princess." Li Jinghong left in a hurry. Chu Yunxi took another look at Qin Huaijin's body, helped him put his clothes in order, and then said to the constable outside, "Go and bring Mr. Qin over."

Xiao Mubei said, "The pressure on the Dali Temple is even greater now. Originally, Li Ruixian from the Hanlin Academy died. Although the Hanlin Academy wanted to give an explanation, they would not be so anxious. Now even Lord Qin's nephew has died. How can the Hanlin Academy let it go? I'm afraid that it will alarm His Majesty."

As they were talking, Qin Youwei had already arrived. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were waiting at the door of the morgue. When they saw Qin Youwei, Xiao Mubei said, "Master Qin, I am deeply saddened."

Qin Youwei looked angry and angry, with tears in his eyes, and asked, "Where is Huaijin?"

Chu Yunxi stepped aside and said, "Inside."

Qin Youwei did not come in immediately. He stood at the door, looking at the corpse covered with white cloth inside. It seemed as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds, as if he had accumulated strength for a long time before he finally lifted his feet and walked in.

Lifting the white cloth and looking at the body, the wound on the chest and the bloodstains, Qin Youwei asked in a trembling voice after a long while: "Who did it?"

Xiao Mubei whispered, "He was just like Li Ruixian. They both had their minds controlled by someone else and then killed themselves."

"He killed himself, haha..." Qin Youwei laughed strangely, but tears fell at this time and hit Qin Huaijin's face. Qin Youwei carefully wiped away the tear with his sleeve and said, "If it weren't for the incompetence of the Dali Temple and the delay in catching the murderer, how could Huaijin die?"

Xiao Mubei pursed his lips and said nothing. Chu Yunxi paused and said, "Master Qin, we did not want this to happen. The murderer this time is very cunning, and... here is a letter. I was just thinking of asking Master Qin to take a look and see if it is your nephew's handwriting."

Chu Yunxi handed over the letter, and Qin Youwei took it and read it. After reading it, his hands and lips all trembled, and he murmured: "This is impossible... Impossible..."

Chu Yunxi asked, "Is this your nephew's handwriting?"

Qin Youwei looked up at Chu Yunxi, then at Xiao Mubei, and finally uttered the word "yes" with difficulty.

In fact, this answer was within Chu Yunxi's expectations. Since the murderer asked Qin Huaijin to throw out the letter, this letter must have been written by Qin Huaijin himself, and the content in it must be a mixture of truth and falsehood.

Chu Yunxi sighed and said, "Master Qin, so you see, the murderer is very careful. If we want to catch him, it is not only the Dali Temple that has to do its best to investigate, but also requires the full cooperation of all of you to unravel the mystery and restore the truth. All of this takes time."

"But will the murderer give us time?" Qin Youwei asked in return, "From Li Ruixian to Huai Jin, the murderer has killed two people in a short period of time. If the Dali Temple needs ten days, half a month or even longer to investigate a case, wouldn't more people die? Who will bear the consequences?"

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei both knew that what he said was true, but investigating a case was not something that could be done in a hurry. Xiao Mubei could only comfort Qin Youwei, "Sir Qin, the Dali Temple will do its best to find out the truth as soon as possible and bring the murderer to justice."

"I'll do my best. Now the murderer has put the blame on Huai Jin. What I want is the truth, the truth that can clear Huai Jin's name. Your Majesty, I will report this to His Majesty truthfully. People have been killed one after another in the Hanlin Academy, and the people are panicking. There is no way for me to serve Your Majesty normally. If the Dali Temple doesn't solve the case, I can only take the Hanlin Academy with me and take leave. I will report again after the case is solved."

Qin Youwei covered Qin Huaijin with a white cloth and was about to leave. Chu Yunxi stepped forward and stood in front of Qin Youwei, saying, "Master Qin, have you ever thought about what would happen if what is said in the letter is true?"

This sentence hit the point that Qin Youwei feared the most. He paused and did not speak. Chu Yunxi took the letter from his hand and softened her voice. "In fact, Lord Qin must know that it is not that our Dali Temple has not tried its best. It's just that you have lost your loved ones and you are inevitably anxious. We all understand this. I promise you that this case will be solved within seven days. Lord Qin, it is convenient for yourself to help others. Even if you report it to His Majesty, His Majesty can only ask the Dali Temple to solve the case within a time limit, and the result will not be much better than it is now. Lord Qin took the Hanlin Academy to take leave, which only made His Majesty embarrassed. As a minister, instead of sharing the worries of the monarch, it adds troubles to the monarch. Isn't this planting a thorn in His Majesty's heart? So Lord Qin, don't try to threaten His Majesty with the future of the entire Hanlin Academy. This concubine is also for your own good."

Qin Youwei snorted, without making any comment, and left with his sleeves swung. Chu Yunxi shouted from behind, "Master Qin, the prince and I will go to your house to bother you later. Please go back and tell everyone in the house to cooperate so that we can solve the case as soon as possible."

Qin Youwei walked away, and Xiao Mubei said, "He probably won't say anything to His Majesty for the time being, but we still have to hurry up. The murderer is so arrogant, we must not let him have another chance to kill."

Chu Yunxi walked to the tree and sat down. After thinking for a while, she said, "Who pushed Qin Huaijin to the gate of Dali Temple this morning?"

Xiao Mubei also sat down. "I asked the breakfast shop next door, and they said he came here on his own, with no one pushing him."

"Strange, could it be that the murderer's poisonous insect has been upgraded? It can also control him to write letters, and make him obediently come to Dali Temple on his own, and finally commit suicide. Didn't it say before that the victim would lose his mind first, and then the behavior would be replicated? The act of suicide is easy to replicate, but writing letters and coming to Dali Temple are not easy to replicate." Chu Yunxi couldn't figure out this problem, and Xiao Mubei couldn't explain it either.
