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

Xiao Mubei knew that since she asked this, she must have discovered something, so he asked: "Yunxi, why do you think this is the case?"

Chu Yunxi raised her head, looked at Xiao Mubei, and said word by word: "Because this letter was written on the ground."

Xiao Mubei frowned, "You mean, this is not the letter that Qin Huaijin took with him when he went out?"

Qin Huaijin wrote the letter on the desk in his room, so there must not be such a dent on the back. But since there is one on this letter, it can only mean that this is not that letter.

Chu Yunxi nodded, her eyes flickering, "I suspect that this letter was written by Qin Huaijin under duress after he met the murderer, and the murderer took away the two letters he brought with him when he left. The truth and the murderer must be in those two letters. By the way, does Qin Youcai have any valuable clues?"

Xiao Mubei shook his head. "This Qin Youcai spends all day hanging out with a bunch of bad friends in restaurants and brothels. He rarely goes home. When asked about family affairs, he knows nothing about them. He only says that his wife takes care of the family affairs."

"That's what I think." Chu Yunxi told Xiao Mubei what Shao said, "Now that Madam Li and Shao's confessions don't match, one of them must be lying. Considering that this confession was probably written under duress, I tend to think that Madam Li is lying."

"Mrs. Li?" Xiao Mubei was puzzled. "Why would she lie?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head. "I met this Madam Li yesterday and found that she was not as sick as Li Shaoqing said, unable to get out of bed. Although she looked weak, her steps were steady and her complexion was good, just a little haggard. When she saw Li Ruixian's body, she seemed sad, but she did not go forward to take a look. Instead, she left as soon as I persuaded her. This is not in line with common sense. So I think there is indeed something wrong with this Madam Li."

"I'll send someone to check it out right away." Xiao Mubei said as he was about to call Bai Yu.

"No need," Chu Yunxi stopped him, "I've asked Zi Han to send the Purple Guards to keep an eye on the Li family. If there's any news, they'll report it back."

Xiao Mubei asked in surprise: "Didn't you just suspect Madam Li? When did you send the Purple Guards?"

"Yesterday, Li Shaoqing reported that he met Lin Shize at the Li family and mentioned that one of them had lost his wife and the other had lost his husband. I was a little suspicious at the time, so I wanted to send the Purple Guards to investigate and see if the two had an affair. I didn't expect this to happen again today. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise."

"You are suspicious of Madam Li and Lin Shize..."

"It's just a hunch, there's no evidence." Chu Yunxi supported her waist and stood up. "It's not like there's no clue, but we can't just do nothing, so I thought of asking the Purple Guards to keep an eye on it."

As they were talking, Zi Han came to report, "Princess, the purple guards who were watching the Li Mansion just reported that they had not found anything for the time being. After Madam Li went back, she asked the maid to find a coffin and lay it out, and asked someone to take back Li Ruixian's body and set up the mourning hall. She didn't say anything, but was just busy with these things silently. Lin Shize didn't show up either."

"Okay, got it. Keep watching." Chu Yunxi waved her hand. After Zi Han left, Xiao Mubei said, "It seems that these two people don't have a private relationship."

"Everything is still unknown now, and we can't draw a conclusion so early. Let's wait and see." Chu Yunxi pounded her waist twice, and Xiao Mubei immediately supported her. "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Chu Yunxi smiled and shook her head, "No, these are just normal reactions. As the month progresses, my belly gets bigger, so I will have some back pain at this time."

"Then lie down and take a rest." Xiao Mubei picked up Chu Yunxi without saying anything. Chu Yunxi was startled and hit him twice lightly, saying, "What are you doing?"

"I'll take you to rest." Xiao Mubei said as he carried her to the courtyard. All the constables passing by saluted them. Chu Yunxi's shy face went straight into his arms and she whispered, "Put me down quickly. There are so many people here. My foot is fine."

Xiao Mubei didn't feel anything, and smiled: "What are you afraid of? We are husband and wife, isn't it normal for me to hug you? Isn't the princess usually very thick-skinned? Why are you shy now?"

"Your injury..."

"My injuries have healed long ago, thanks to the princess's rejuvenation skills, I was able to recover so quickly and not delay hugging the princess." Xiao Mubei said as a matter of course.

Chu Yunxi sighed and gave up struggling. Fine, just give in. As long as she wasn't embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.

Over the next two days, there was still no progress. The Purple Guards reported that Lin Shize had gone to help Madam Li for a day, but he had asked his colleagues from the Hanlin Academy to help as well. They received guests, found a cemetery, and buried the body. All of these matters were handled by the people from the Hanlin Academy. The two of them had never spoken to each other alone, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong.

Chu Yunxi began to doubt herself after hearing this. Was it really just mutual help among colleagues? But she always felt that something was wrong.

But there are no other clues at the moment. Xiao Mubei takes the detectives from the Dali Temple out to look for clues every day, but they always return empty-handed. Chu Yunxi also went to the Wan Mansion and the Qin Mansion, but didn't get any valuable information. She also went to see Lin Shize, who had returned to the Hanlin Academy to report for duty. He told Chu Yunxi that he was very sad about Li Ruixian's death, but that the incident had already happened, and he could only try his best to help. If Madam Li needed him for anything, he would do his best to help.

It didn't seem to be a problem. Chu Yunxi even took a special look at his residence, a small courtyard housed only by Lin Shize and a few servants. It looked quite deserted.

But within two days, after returning from a court session, Xiao Mubei told Chu Yunxi that the position of palace tutor that Li Ruixian was about to take up had fallen to Lin Shize.

Chu Yunxi was stunned for a moment and said, "Now it seems that the one who benefited the most after Li Ruixian's death should be Lin Shize. Logically, to investigate the murderer, we should look at who benefited the most after the death of the deceased and who is the most suspicious. However, there are many editors in the Hanlin Academy, not to mention other editors. This position may not necessarily fall on Lin Shize. If we suspect him based on this, it seems a bit far-fetched."

"Yes, after all, who will succeed Li Ruixian depends on the decision of Master Qin, and no one can influence a person's thinking." Xiao Mubei said as he took off his heavy court robes.

But his words reminded Chu Yunxi of something. She murmured, "No one can control a person's thinking. Is that really the case?"
