The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess!

Murongci comforted: "Don't be afraid, there is nothing wrong with the corpse, you will be fine."

Then, she took the maid to the side and asked gently: "This side is remote, what are you doing here?"

The maid was frightened, and the three souls and seven souls returned to her place at this time. "The slave and maid made a mistake and was scolded... The slave and maid were in a bad mood, so come here..."

Murongci understood that it was not unusual for a palace official to make mistakes and be beaten and scolded. It was natural for a palace official to go to a place where no one was there to cry and vent.

"The servant maid was walking while crying, and suddenly saw the forest..." The maid recalled the horrible scene she had seen before, her scalp was numb, her eyes closed tightly, and her brows were full of fear. "The servant maid saw two lying on the ground. Personal...no, two corpses...no heads..."

"Do you often go to that little forest?"

"Ok……"

"You go back and rest first. If necessary, the palace will ask you again for questioning."

"His Royal Highness." The maid rushed away.

Standing outside Xiaolinzi, Murongci asked the servants around him: "Has anyone moved the corpse?"

Several servants shook their heads and waved, "No one has moved."

Who has the guts to go in and move the corpse? Even if he had the courage, he just went in and rushed out.

She pointed to the two guards to accompany her into Xiaolinzi. Those two guards were also a little scared, but his Royal Highness appointed him personally, so he could still wince? Want to lose your job?

Although the woods are small, but with lush foliage, they are still densely covered in this autumn day, so the light inside is dim and you can't see clearly.

Some grass grew on the ground, and the two corpses lay in the middle of the small forest. She walked slowly, not rushing to see the body, but looking around. Because many people have come in, the footprints in the forest have lost the value of research.

Several beams of bright sunlight leaked from the branches and leaves, forming a transparent beam of light.

After looking around, she knelt down to look at the corpse, and it took a while before she ordered the two guards: "Find a few people to move the corpse out."

The two guards went out sadly and called for someone to move the body.

When Shen Zhiyan arrived, the two corpses were lying side by side on the muddy ground. He glanced at it and asked in astonishment: "His Royal Highness, have you found the head?"

"The guards are looking around, but I don't feel optimistic." Murong Ci's eyes were cold.

"I will look at the corpse first."

He squatted down and observed for a long while before saying: "The two deceased were both women, between the ages of sixteen and twenty, and they were about five feet tall. The heads were chopped off, the incisions were flat, there was not much bleeding, and there was no body. Wounds or bruises, judging from the stiffness of the limbs and the plaques, the corpse has not been moved. Initially, it should have been killed four or five hours later."

Murong nodded and ordered the guards to move the two bodies to the Tingxue Pavilion for storage.

After that, they went to Tingxue Pavilion together.

Tingxue Pavilion is not far from the East Palace. She made this arrangement to facilitate future investigations and to prevent the murderer from tampering with the corpse.

"His Royal Highness, it is not yet possible to know the identity of the deceased. I am afraid that the investigation of this case will not be easy." Shen Zhiyan said solemnly.

"Although the head has been chopped off, the identity of the deceased can be determined from other parts of the body." Her small face was as cold as frost, and she was angry with such a bad and brutal murder in the palace.

"Hope the guards find the head of the dead."

"From the perspective of clothes, the two deceased should be court ladies of Jiaofangsi."

"If the murderer does not want to expose the identity of the deceased, then he can find the clothes of the court lady of Jiaofang to wear on the deceased."

"That's true. Your Highness's mind is getting more and more careful."

They walked into the Tingxue Pavilion, and the autopsy began when Shen Zhiyan prepared a cup of tea.

He said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, look at the necks of the two deceased, and the incisions are quite flat and smooth. It can be seen that the heads are cut off by a very sharp weapon."

Murong's eyebrows frowned, "If it's an ordinary person, only a butcher or a blacksmith can do it. If it's not an ordinary person, it's a person with martial arts and a certain amount of internal strength."

His tone was quite determined, "I prefer the murderer to be someone with martial arts."

"why?"

"His Royal Highness sees that the neck incision is very delicate and smooth. It should be cut off the head at a very fast speed with a sharp iron-like blade. This can only be done by a martial artist with a good internal strength."

"These two are palace ladies. If the murderer is from the palace, then the murderer may be a guard or a palace with martial arts. Is there anything else to discover?"

"The two deceased's coarse cloth shoes were not worn badly. They belonged to normal walking wear, indicating that they went to Xiaolinzi voluntarily." Shen Zhiyan went on to check and analyze.

"The murderer took them to Xiaolinzi's side, so it can be seen that they knew each other."

"The clothes of the deceased were fairly clean, and there were no broken, worn, or **** fingernails, which means there was no struggle before death.

"It seems that the murderer cut their heads by surprise, and they all died without knowing what happened."

"you can say so."

"The most important thing at the moment is to determine the identities of the two deceased first..." Murong casually looked at the hand of a deceased, with surprise in his eyes, "Hey, this jade bracelet..."

Shen Zhiyan said in a puzzled way: "This jade bracelet is of ordinary quality, and the shops selling jade articles on the street can sell it. What's wrong?"

She took off the jade bracelet from the deceased's wrist, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Look, although this jade bracelet is emerald, but the color is very light, there is an obvious scratch here."

He still didn't understand, "His Royal Highness recognizes this jade bracelet?"

Her heart seemed to be pressed by a huge sinking stone, almost unable to wear it, "I have indeed seen this jade bracelet...this jade bracelet is the Lan Mengse sister Lan Ruoxuan's jade bracelet."

She met Lan Ruoxuan twice, and saw her wearing this jade bracelet on both occasions, and saw an obvious scratch on the jade bracelet on the second meeting. If not, she could not be sure that the deceased was Lan Ruoxuan.

And the other deceased, I am afraid it was Lan Ruowei.

Shen Zhiyan's face was full of horror, "Unexpectedly, the two sisters that Miss Lan was looking for were really unfortunately killed. However, why are they in the palace?"

"Go to a place where you can get ahead... That place is the palace. I didn't expect the palace to be their burial place."

Murong's speech was low and full of sadness.

Two girls like daffodils, graceful and magnificent, died so miserably after only half a month of not seeing them, their heads were shaved off by the murderer.

He wondered: "How many women dream of being able to enter the palace, no wonder they are so happy. They have only been in the palace for half a month, even if they offend someone, they won't be so cruel to be decapitated."

"The murderer cut off their heads and threw the corpses separately, probably because they don't want people to know their identities." Her eyes were as cold as a sword.

"But the clothes, jade bracelets and other jewelry on the deceased can also reveal the identity of the deceased."

"After the murderer had cut their heads, they probably wanted to take off their clothes, headwear, and jewelry. Maybe someone appeared near the forest. The murderer was worried about being seen, so he had to leave in a hurry." Murong Ci Baisi Unexplainable, "Why did Lan Ruoxuan and Lan Ruowei enter the palace? What did they do in the palace? What happened to them in the palace in the past half month, and who offended them so that they were brutally murdered?"

"I have confirmed the identity of the deceased, and then I will check why they entered the palace to become palace maids and where they worked as errands." Shen Zhiyan's heart was also very heavy.

...

The guards searched all around the small forest, but did not find the head.

Murongci ordered the guards to expand the scope of the search, be sure to find the head. After that, she and Shen Zhiyan went to Jiaofang Division, because Jiaofang Division was closest to the murder scene.

The **** was the **** of the Jiaofang Division, and Mo Fan led his subordinates to welcome His Royal Highness, and waited on them.

Shen Zhiyan asked straightforwardly: "Has Jiaofang Secretary recruited a new palace lady half a month ago?"

Mo Fan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have recruited four new musicians. These four new musicians are proficient in various instruments and have extraordinary skills. Does Your Highness want to see their skills?"

"Call out the four new musicians." Murongci said coldly, too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

"Yes, Your Highness." He went to order in a slanderous manner.

Not long after, only two new musicians came. He was anxious and angry, and whispered to his subordinates: "There are two more? Why haven't they come yet? I'm neglecting your Royal Highness, do you want to die?"

The subordinate whispered back: "The other two are gone. I searched the entire Jiaofang Division and couldn't find it. I just heard that Xiaolinzi in the northwest has committed a murder case and killed two court ladies. Could it be them..."

Mo Fan's face changed slightly, and he bit his head and reported to the prince: "His Royal Highness, the new arrivals Lan Ruoxuan and Lan Ruowei are gone, I don't know where to go..."

Shen Zhiyan said solemnly: "They are dead."

Mo Fan seemed to be struck by thunder, the hall turned black and his whole body stiffened, "Dead...what is going on... It was so good yesterday, how could it..."

Murong Ci said coldly: "My palace still wants to ask you."

"Your Majesty, the slave really doesn't know anything..." He knelt in a panic, his face filled with fear, "The slave really doesn't know..."

"Mo Fan, you'd better recruit one by one, otherwise you can't afford the two lives!" Shen Zhiyan shouted with majesty.

"Master Shen, the minion really doesn't know about them..." Mo Fan was crying and he was so scared that he could only say this sentence, "The minion didn't see them today, who of you saw...who saw Lan Ruoxuan and Lan Ruowei..."

The people in Jiaofang Division were shocked by the murder, and they all shook their heads to clear the relationship.

Shen Zhiyan pointed out a few people to stay, and the rest stayed. Then he asked Mo Fan: "How did Lan Ruoxuan and Lan Ruowei enter the palace and become the maids of the Jiaofang Division? You recruited them?"

Mo Fan was still shrouded in fear, and the gods did not guard the house, swallowing saliva, and said: "The Jiaofang Division wants to recruit music workers. About half a month ago, the minion recruited four new music workers...Two of them were Lan Ruoxuan and Lan Ruowei. They are very proficient in various musical instruments and have unique insights into rhythm... The minions admire them both very much, and arrange for them to study music scores at the Jiaofang Division first... Then they study diligently, and they are well-behaved and sensible girls... "
