The Queen's Secret

"Fool...I only care about you."

Zhao Muyan's voice was like a hammer, instantly shattering the high wall in her heart...

Qi Yuxin closed her eyes, and kept calming herself down, not sure if she was too happy or too disturbed...

Or rather, both...

Fortunately, at this moment, Zhao Muyan let go of Qi Yuxin. She didn't want to push Qi Yuxin too hard. She even treated this relationship cautiously. She gave enough to Qi Yuxin. patience.

"Empress... I should go back."

Qi Yu didn't dare to stay here anymore, her mood was too complicated now, for Zhao Muyan, she wanted to hug her tightly, but she had too many worries in her heart, which always made her hands change. It was extremely heavy.

"Hold on."

Zhao Muyan's tone changed suddenly, and the dangerous smile on the corner of his mouth made Qi Yu unable to figure out what Zhao Muyan wanted to say next.

"Who is the person who quarreled with you?"

After Zhao Muyan asked, Qi Yu pursed his lips and frowned, but he didn't speak. However, Zhao Muyan had already guessed this reaction.

"Do not say?"

Zhao Muyan asked, and Qi Yu frowned even tighter, and said: "It's just nonsense when you are in a hurry, empress, please don't..."

Before Qi Yuxin finished speaking, Zhao Muyan sneered and said, "Didn't you care more about it just now?"

Qi Yu's heart choked for a moment, unable to speak...

It seems so...

"Forget it, go back!"

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, Qi Yu cupped his hands and was about to leave, but Zhao Muyan called Qi Yu's heart back.

"Yu Xin."

Zhao Muyan lowered his eyes, sighed softly, and continued: "It's because I treat you well, don't hide from me."

Qi Yu's heart trembled, as if her mind had been punctured, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, Zhao Muyan could guess everything, even his own heart.

"it is good."

Qi Yu agrees, Zhao Muyan is right, she treats her very well, but she doesn't know how to repay her, if she asks her not to hide, then she will accept this request.

Southland, imperial palace, old case room.

"Sister Yuxin, you are back!"

During the time when Qi Yuxin was away, Meng Gan would look at the door every half a moment, worrying about whether Qi Yuxin would have something to do with Zhao Muyan, and at the same time worrying about Qi Yuxin's injuries.

"Ah."

Qi Yu responded with a light smile, her face was light and calm, and she couldn't see at all what happened in Fengxi Palace just now.

This is also Qi Yuxin's unique skill, as long as she wants to, she can hide her emotions very well, but her unique skill doesn't seem to work in front of Zhao Muyan at all.

"Are you all right?"

Lin Qingxuan asked, Qi Yu shook her head heartily, and said lightly, "It's okay, the empress just asked me what I need in the old case room, and seeing that I was injured, she gave me some plaster and let me come back. "

Hearing this, Meng Gan and Lin Qingxuan felt relieved, as expected Zhao Muyan treated Lin Qingxuan very well.

"Shall I go and give you medicine? Meng Gan, take care of the old case room."

"it is good."

Meng Gan responded, and Qi Yu didn't hesitate, and went to the side room with Lin Qingxuan, took off her clothes, and asked Lin Qingxuan to apply medicine to herself.

"Tsk... How much hatred do you guys have, how hard is this fight..."

Lin Qingxuan inadvertently gasped as she looked at the bruises on Qi Yu's heart and back. Although the arresting officer was often injured on duty, it was the first time she had seen a female arresting officer hurt so badly.

"Hiss... lighten up."

Qi Yu said with pain in his heart, Lin Qingxuan gave Qi Yuxin a white look behind Qi Yuxin's back, and said: "I know it hurts, so I still beat like this desperately."

After Lin Qingxuan applied the medicine to Qi Yuxin's back, he said, "Can you apply the medicine yourself to other places?"

Lin Qingxuan knew that Qi Yu was uncomfortable, since she took off her clothes just now, she felt Qi Yu's heart was stiff, and she knew that this person didn't like her body to be looked at by others, so Qi Yu thought about where she could go, Lin Qingxuan didn't do it for her anymore.

"Well, yes."

Qi Yu nodded heartily, then put on her clothes neatly, and said, "Thank you, Qingxuan."

Lin Qingxuan smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"

Qi Yuxin is like this, he is too polite, and sometimes he distances himself from her very far.

"If you don't say thank you for your great kindness, you will have to say thank you for your little kindness."

Qi Yu smiled heartily, and the atmosphere became active in an instant because of her words.

"Pfft, you can tell jokes like a piece of wood."

Lin Qingxuan patted Qi Yuxin's forehead lightly, Qi Yuxin touched her own forehead in a daze, and smiled helplessly.

This feeling of being treated as a child is actually not bad.

The two returned to the old case room, and Qi Yu's heart finally calmed down a little...

It's just that I can't help but think about Zhao Muyan, her hug, the smell and even what she said...

Fool...I only care about you.

Qi Yu shook her head heartily, pushed away the voice in her head, and said, "I'll go and look up the old case."

As soon as the words were finished, Meng Gan immediately said: "Sister Yuxin, we have found a very interesting case just now, and we are waiting to discuss it with you."

When it came to the case, Qi Yuxin finally collected his thoughts one by one and focused on the case.

Qi Yuxin took the old case records handed over by Meng Gan, and the words [Serial Murder Case] ​​were written profusely on the cover.

Serial murders are actually nothing new, and because killers generally have the same motive and method of killing, there are traces to follow when they are investigated. However, why this serial murder is listed as an unsolved case, Qi Yuxin feels curious .

Opening the old case report, Qi Yu began to read it carefully, while Meng Gan and Lin Qingxuan at the side began to briefly talk about the ins and outs of the case.

"This is a case two years ago. A merchant, a salt lord, and two court officials, one with one plant and one with two plants, are all ordinary local officials."

After Lin Qingxuan finished speaking, Meng Gan went on to say: "They are not in the capital city, but they are all nearby towns. The method of killing is to slit the throat to death. The time of committing the crimes is similar, so they are boldly listed as serial murders... There is only one point. It's weird..."

After Meng Gan finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qingxuan, and continued: "Obviously they all had their throats cut with a knife, and there were no signs of fighting on their bodies, but there was blood on the clothes in front of and behind them, which seemed to be smeared on purpose. We didn’t quite understand why.”

"These dead people have nothing in common, and they are not in the same place. If we talk about vendettas, according to the investigation at the time, there is no fact that they have made any enemies, and investigations into their interest entanglements have not found anything. The only thing they have in common is , but they deposited all their money in Tongle Bank."

After Lin Qingxuan finished speaking, he sighed. This common point may be a clue, or it may not be. After all, Tongle Bank is currently the largest bank in southern China, and [-]% of the people in the South will deposit their money in Tongle Bank. It's suspicious, but after following Qi Yuxin for a long time, she will naturally not let go of these clues.

After Qi Yu listened intently, she put down the old case records and pinched her temples. There were too many things to do today, and it was such a troublesome case that I didn't expect.

"Sister Yuxin is also confused, hahaha!"

When Meng Gan saw this case, he also had a feeling of being out of breath. It seemed that everything was strange, but everything seemed reasonable.

"I think there are several kinds of people who can cut a throat with a knife and kill someone with such kung fu and strength."

Qi Yuxin took a look at Meng Gan, and started his own analysis not to be outdone. Meng Gan looked disappointed. Unexpectedly, Qi Yuxin was still the same Qi Yuxin, and his thinking was still clear.

"Guards, soldiers, arresters, arresters, and quack killers."

Qi Yuxin stretched out her fingers one by one, slowly counting for the two of them.

"But the Jianghu killer can be temporarily excluded."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Meng Gan and Lin Qingxuan immediately asked in unison: "Why?"

Shouldn't the Jianghu killer be the biggest suspect?

"If the murderer is the same person, among the dead, the merchants and court officials can be ignored for the time being, but the Yan Xiao inside is also from the Jianghu. There is an unwritten rule in the Jianghu of the Southern Kingdom. Therefore, it is impossible for Yan Xiao to have no traces of fighting on his body."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan and Meng Gan nodded, but Lin Qingxuan quickly asked, "What if the murderer is not the same person, but the same gang?"

"That's a good question. I'll check the body later and I'll know if it's the same person."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Meng Gan immediately asked, "Is it the same person from the corpse?"

"Hmm... Our martial arts practitioners, especially those who have practiced martial arts for a long time, have specific habits in terms of strength, angle and speed of strikes. Just look at their wounds, and you can probably tell if they are the same person."

Meng Gan nodded, and Qi Yu's thoughts were much clearer. It seemed that he still had a lot to learn.

"And he was able to cut the throat with a knife, without even a trace of struggle. I think this person is either someone trusted by the deceased, or he has no defense against this person, or the murderer shot very fast, but one thing remains the same, The dead must have known the murderer."

Qi Yuxin clarified the case bit by bit, while Meng Gan casually wrote down what Qi Yuxin said.

"It just sounds like the motive is unknown. This is probably the difficulty of this case..."

Qi Yu sighed inwardly, the method of committing the crime was very simple, but she also couldn't figure out what Meng Gan said just now...

Why did the murderer smear blood on the chest and back of the deceased, and what was it for?

"Furthermore, the locations of these dead are all different. The murderer was eager to kill four people in just half a month. Could it be that he wanted to cover up something?"

Lin Qingxuan boldly guessed, while Qi Yuxin raised his eyes to look at Lin Qingxuan, and said in a deep voice, "It's possible."

In this case, the deceased had nothing in common, so the murderer did not kill because of certain inertia and characteristics of the deceased, nor was it a vendetta...

Then there is a possibility...

That is what the murderer is eager to cover up. These people may have some ulterior secrets in their hands...
