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

Chu Yunxi waited for her to cry for a while before she stepped forward to help her up and said, "Madam, please accept my condolences. Don't cry and hurt yourself."

Mrs. Li looked up and saw the other two bodies in the morgue. She couldn't help but ask, "Is my husband here too?"

Chu Yunxi looked at the three bodies in the morgue. One was Li Ruixian, one was Su Xin, and one was Qin Huaijin. Strictly speaking, these three people had deep entanglements with Madam Li. It was really fate.

She pointed to the body at the innermost and said, "That... is Lord Li. I was just about to tell Madam Li that Lord Li's body can be taken back by his family. Madam, please go back and make arrangements to bring Lord Li home."

Mrs. Li walked towards Li Ruixian with tears in her eyes, murmuring, "Since the day he went to the Wan Mansion for a banquet, I haven't seen him since. In the past, he never left me for more than a day..."

Chu Yunxi felt a little sorry for her, so she took a few steps to catch up with her. Seeing her steps weaken and her body leaning to the side, Chu Yunxi hurriedly supported her and said, "Madam, you'd better not watch. Let's go back and make some arrangements today and send someone to take Lord Li back."

Madam Li was crying so hard that she was out of breath. She was helped out by Chu Yunxi and handed over to a maid. She staggered out of the Dali Temple. Chu Yunxi looked at her from behind, as if thinking about something.

Chu Yunxi didn't see Xiao Mubei and Li Jinghong this afternoon. It wasn't until it was completely dark that Xiao Mubei came back. As soon as he sat down, he picked up the herbal tea on the table and gulped it down. Chu Yunxi asked, "Where did you go this afternoon? Why do all the people from Dali Temple seem to be gone?"

Xiao Mubei said, "I asked everyone to go out and ask along the streets if anyone had seen Qin Huaijin in the early morning. I also went to the night watchmen and breakfast shops on several nearby streets. My efforts paid off. A breakfast shop owner saw someone pushing a person in a wheelchair passing by her shop and heading towards Qingshui Lane. It was too early, and the owner even muttered, 'Why did this person get up so early when he has a leg disease?' The constable showed her Qin Huaijin's portrait and confirmed that the person in the wheelchair was Qin Huaijin."

"You mean, someone was pushing Qin Huaijin at that time?" Chu Yunxi frowned, "It seems that the other party deliberately didn't let him bring his men out."

"That's right. According to the breakfast shop owner, the person pushing him was wrapped in a large black cloak. This matches what the Qin mansion servant said. We went to Qingshui Lane, which is a dead end alley with only two families living there and only one entrance and exit. As long as we guard it, no one will know what happened inside. We found push marks of the wheelchair inside, which extended to the innermost secluded place of the alley. There is usually no one there, let alone in the early morning. I suspect that the murderer met Qin Huaijin there. It should be at that time that the murderer took back the letter and forced Qin Huaijin to come to the Dali Temple."

"But Your Highness, don't forget that Qin Huaijin came to the Dali Temple on his own in a wheelchair. If the murderer forced him to come to the Dali Temple, it means that Qin Huaijin has not lost his mind. However, his actions at the gate of the Dali Temple clearly showed that he had lost his mind and was being manipulated. So when did the murderer insert the needle? Was it at the gate of the Dali Temple?"

This was indeed a suspicious point, and Xiao Mubei couldn't figure it out. Li Jinghong came back at this time. After sitting down, he drank a large cup of herbal tea, then took out an envelope and said, "This is sent by the Wan Mansion. It is a list of people who have been to the Wan Mansion's attic."

Xiao Mubei took it and looked at it together with Chu Yunxi. There were about a hundred names written on it. They looked at them one by one and saw several familiar names. Qin Youwei, Qin Huaijin, Li Ruixian, Lin Shize and others had all been there. There were also names of other people in the Hanlin Academy. Chu Yunxi had some impression of them when she was investigating in the Hanlin Academy before, and now they were all on this list.

"Why have so many people from the Hanlin Academy been to the attic of the Wan Mansion? Did they go to a dinner party?" Chu Yunxi was a little confused.

Li Jinghong explained, "I also felt it was strange, so I went to ask General Wan. I found out that General Wan and Mr. Qin, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, were close friends in the early years. When General Wan went to war, he asked Mr. Qin to help teach his children. Mr. Qin was very concerned. All the scholars in the Hanlin Academy were talented, but everyone had different focuses, so Mr. Qin asked them to take turns to teach the children at the Wan family. The class was held in the attic at that time, so many people in the Hanlin Academy knew the entrance to the attic."

Chu Yunxi covered her face, "This is really difficult. I thought that with the list, I could find the suspect from it, but I didn't expect..."

Up to now, everything in this case is still shrouded in mystery.

On the second day, Madam Li sent a servant to take away Li Ruixian's body, and Qin Huaijin's parents, the second master and second lady of the Qin family also came to the Dali Temple as promised.

The second master of the Qin family is named Qin Youcai, but unfortunately his personality doesn't match his name at all. Not only does he not have any talent, he is also lazy and eats a lot. He relies on his eldest brother Qin Youwei for everything. His son Qin Huaijin inherited his shortcomings. Although he has read some books, he is not serious about his work. If it weren't for the second wife Shao nagging him every day, asking him to arrange for his son to enter the government, he would not want to ask his eldest brother to arrange Qin Huaijin in the Hanlin Academy. Unexpectedly, his son got into trouble and lost his life. The couple was heartbroken and had a big fight yesterday. If Qin Youwei hadn't said that if they didn't come to the Dali Temple today, even Qin Huaijin's body would not be returned, I'm afraid the two would still be arguing in the mansion.

Sitting in the meeting room of the Dali Temple, the two of them still looked like they were ignoring each other. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei looked at the two of them and decided to question them separately.

So Chu Yunxi took Shao to the side hall, sat down, and asked straight to the point: "Second Madam, we asked you two to come here today because there are some things we want to understand clearly. I believe you also want to find the murderer of your son as soon as possible, so I hope you can tell us everything you know. If we miss important clues because of your concealment, the Dali Temple has the right to hold you responsible."

Shao frowned and said, "Princess, my son is the victim. Why do you say that as if he is the murderer?" As she spoke, her eyes turned red and tears fell, "Huai Jin...he has always been sensible and never made me worry. Who on earth was so cruel to kill him?"
