The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

But there are still many things Lin Xi can't figure out.

"Shen Chen, why did the woman who is currently in the morgue in the Yamen appear there wearing Yue Qin's human skin mask? Is Yue Qin really still alive? If she is still alive, why was that woman found instead of her?"

Shen Chen's eyes sharpened and he said, "I prefer that Yue Qin is still alive."

Lin Xi asked: "Why?"

Shen Chen looked outside, hugged Lin Xi, and whispered, "I haven't told you yet, Yueqin is actually a fine craftsman."

Lin Xi: “!!!”

Shen Chen continued: "Judging from the information Yang Shizhong gave me, she was a pawn planted by Xiao Xianwen and the rebels in Jinling early, and she has some information about the deceased fifth prince. And the content she has is very important. enough to threaten their safety."

Lin Xi was shocked and said: "The rebel party in Jinling has revealed its traces. To ensure safety, they sent people to kill Yue Qin?"

"That's right. Yue Qin knows too much about this. If it falls into the hands of someone with intentions, they will be doomed."

Shen Chen said, "She herself also found out that those people wanted to kill her and had planned for herself early. So after Yang Shizhong arrived, she calmly encouraged the county lieutenant to offer her to Yang Shizhong to please him, and then used her control to do things with Yang Shizhong. Deal, I hope Yang Shizhong will keep her safe."

Lin Xi was confused: "Then why didn't Yang Shizhong keep her?"

Shen Chen explained: "Because Yang Shizhong didn't believe her, she told Yang Shizhong that one of her accomplices would come soon who could prove it. So Yang Shizhong didn't stay and secretly arranged for someone to be near the inn."

Lin Xi understood: "Is co-writing Yueqin staying at the inn to wait for her accomplice to make a deal with Yang Shizhong?"

Shen Chen: "That's right."

Lin Xi asked: "Then did she wait for her accomplice?"

Shen Chen: "No."

Lin Xi suddenly had an idea, "Shen Chen, do you think it's possible? That is... her accomplices had shown up a long time ago. After working with her, they found that Yang Shizhong couldn't believe everything. But Yue Qin couldn't escape at this time, so they made a plan A plan for the golden cicada to escape from its shell, allowing Yue Qin to fake her death and escape?"

The person who replaced Yue Qin was naturally the deceased found in the inn.

However, before Shen Chen could speak, Lin Xi denied it himself.

"No, if that's the case, they should try to keep a low profile and not be discovered. So it's impossible for them to abuse a woman and let her die as a surrogate with injuries all over her body. Then the Yamen will definitely investigate carefully, and won't they find out? That's it. It is even less possible to spend a lot of effort to bribe the bosses and officials to cooperate with them. Otherwise, how could they escape safely when so many people have seen them?"

Shen Chen nodded: "That's right. So I tend to believe that they did meet up secretly and did not tell Yang Shizhong that they planned to run away. In this way, the person pretending to be Yue Qin may be her accomplice. Since they are accomplices, they are familiar with each other. She can imitate her so well that no one can notice her, so it makes sense."

"But something must have happened during this process, which forced them to change their plan. So at night when the innkeeper went to find Yue Qin, he heard someone inside impatiently telling him to get out. It's not so much impatience as it is irritation. My plans were disrupted."

"You're right! This makes sense!" Lin Xi nodded repeatedly.

Shen Chen said calmly: "But the clues are completely broken down. So the best way now is to find out how the deceased found died and how he was transported to the inn. Can the deceased appear in the inn? The fact that Yueqin was there instead of Yueqin shows that the deceased at least knew Yueqin, and there is a breakthrough in this case."

Lin Xi said with a sad face: "But there is still no way to start with the deceased."

"It doesn't matter," Shen Chen said lightly, "I have already read the results of your test. There is a spot of flour in it, which can be used as a breakthrough. I have asked the official to take some of the deceased's clothes and draw a rough picture. Like, go to various grain stores in the county and ask, and wait for the results first."

"In addition, those who bribe corrupt workers and officials must be the murderers. Let's start checking from here to see if there is any useful information."

Lin Xi was confused just listening to it, and asked with sympathy and admiration: "Shen Chen, have you ever investigated similar secret room murder cases before?"

Shen Chen was slightly confused: "Secret room murder?"

Lin Xi explained: "Just like the deceased's room in an inn, there is no trace of anyone else entering or leaving. The deceased seems to have died out of thin air, and the murderer seems to have entered and left out of thin air."

Shen Chen thought for a moment and said, "That's quite appropriate."

Thinking of something, he was silent for a moment and then said: "I don't handle many similar cases."

"Then it's been investigated!" Lin Xi asked with admiration: "How did you solve the case before?"

Shen Chen said: "I have only been exposed to three similar cases in total. One of them was in Ping County. It was not as confusing as this case. It was simpler and solved. The other two were in Beijing."

"Beijing?" Lin Xi was surprised.

Shen Chen nodded and said frankly: "Do you still remember the Tongque Terrace I told you?"

Lin Xi: "Of course, that is not the place where Taizong built to receive envoys."

Shen Chen said: "Yes. The Tongque Tower was very important at that time. I was appointed as the supervisor of the building, and there were three officials who worked as assistants. Later, two of them died mysteriously at home. The cause of death is still unknown, and the murderer has not been found."

Lin Xi asked in surprise: "You haven't found the murderer yet?"

Shen Chen said: "Well, I had no idea at the time, and I didn't have much time. Soon after, an envoy died and the barbarians started a war, so I put down the case and went to the frontier fortress."

Lin Xi asked: "Then those two officials died, is anyone still investigating?"

"Yes. After I left, because those two officials held high positions, in order to appease the courtiers, Taizong gave them to the son of Mr. Qi Ge for supervision," Shen Chen said.

After a pause, Shen Chen frowned slightly: "Now that I think about it, the death scene of those two courtiers is quite similar to the scene of Yue Qin's case now."

Lin Xi couldn't help but asked: "Could it be the same murderer?"

Shen Chen said: "It's possible."

After saying this, the carriage stopped, and people outside reminded the writer.

The two of them stopped talking and got out of the car. Lin Xi saw that the writers were a little shabby, the door was a little shaky, and the yard was also very bleak.

When they went in, the guarding official raised his hands and said, "Master Shen, no one came in during this period."

Shen Chen asked them to go out first and took Lin Xi in to take a look.

The inside is very small, with curtains separating the left and right sides, and the corpse is in the inner room on the left.

Lin Xi went in and saw Zuo lying on the open space between the table and the bed, lying on his side with his eyes closed, and there was blood on his purple mouth.

Lin Xi suddenly said: "I think this gangster and the deceased from the Yamen seemed to have been poisoned by the same kind of poison."
