    Murong Ci waited until dusk before Qin Ruo returned to Dali Temple.

    Qin Ruo said: "Your Highness, I didn't wait for Miss Xia to come back. I was worried that Your Highness would be impatient, so I rushed back to report."

    Murong Ci thought about it for a while, that¡¯s all, let¡¯s talk about it tomorrow, there¡¯s no rush.

    Shen Zhiyan smiled and said, "How about this? I'll send someone to Kesiyunlai Inn tomorrow morning to invite Miss Xia to Dali Temple."

    She thought it was feasible and agreed, and the master and servant took a carriage back to the palace.

    The next morning, they came to Dali Temple again, expecting to see Xia Xiaolu, but unexpectedly, they heard some bad news.

    According to the report from the yamen servant, the shopkeeper of Ke Siyunlai Inn said that Miss Xia¡¯s master and servant did not come back all night, and there was no sign of her this morning.

    Murong Ci looked at Shen Zhiyan suspiciously, his eyes seeming to say: Nothing will happen to Miss Xia.

    He immediately sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to ask if there had been any murders in the past two days. Soon, they received news that someone had just come to report that there had been a murder outside the Xicheng Gate. It seemed that it was two young women.

    Immediately, Murong Ci and Shen Zhiyan rushed to the west gate.

    When they rushed to the scene of the crime, they saw many people surrounding them, but the government officials held spears to prevent them from getting closer.  The police officers and police officers from Jingzhao Mansion have arrived and are investigating the scene.

    Shen Zhiyan showed the token of Dali Temple, and the yamen servant let them in.

    When the detectives learned that the famous Shaoqing of Dali Temple was here, they asked him to take a look.

    Murong Ci took a closer look and saw that the two corpses lying on the ground were indeed Xia Xiaolu and Chuntao.

    Life is really unpredictable.  They never imagined that someone who came to the capital to look for someone would end up in such a miserable end.

    "Who reported the crime?" she asked the police officer.

    "The old woman who came to this small temple to offer incense was the first to find out. She immediately went back and asked her grandson to go to the city to report the crime." the police officer replied.

    "This small temple is two miles away from the west city gate. Beggars often spend the night in the temple." Another policeman said.

    She nodded and asked, "Have the two bodies been moved?"

    Wu Zuo replied: "It hasn't moved."

    Murong Ci squatted down, Shen Zhiyan was already inspecting the body, Xia Xiaolu was lying on the grass in front of the temple, lying flat on her back, wearing a light blue silver-threaded summer shirt and skirt embroidered with hibiscus, but the clothes were messy and torn, and they had obviously been torn, especially the lower part of her body.  The dress only covered half of her thighs, leaving the other half of her snow-white thighs exposed to everyone's gaze.

    Xia Xiaolu's maid, Chuntao, was sitting at the base of the small temple wall, her head drooped, the clothes on her shoulders were stained with blood, and there were also blood stains on the wall, which was shocking.

    Murong Ci saw another man lying on the grass beside him. He was short and skinny. His coarse linen robe was not only tattered, but also dirty and gray-black. His hair was like a bird's nest, his face was yellow and dirty, and his feet were covered with gloves.  A pair of straw sandals.

    A policeman said: "This man should be a beggar. He drank a lot and is still awake."

    Then, he went to wake up the beggar.

    Murong Ci asked Shen Zhiyan: "Where is Miss Xia's fatal injury?"

    "I have made a preliminary inspection and found that there were no obvious wounds on the body of the deceased, just some minor abrasions on both sides of the mouth." Shen Zhiyan stood up with a solemn expression, "Preliminary estimate is that she died around midnight."

    "Go and see Chuntao." She walked over with him.

    Shen Zhiyan observed for a moment and said: "The deceased Chuntao also died around midnight and has not been moved. This is the scene of the first crime. There are no wounds on the body of the deceased. The fatal injury was the injury to the back of the head."

    Murong Ci raised his slender eyebrows slightly nervously and said, "Chun Tao's hair is quite messy. Judging from the blood stains on the wall, Chuntao must have been grabbed by the murderer's hair while standing, and then hit the wall hard."

    He nodded, "Your Highness is right. The wound on the back of the head was deep and bloody, which shows that the murderer was very strong. The deceased slid down after being injured on the back of the head and sat on the ground. He died not long after."

    The detectives, yamen and servants of Jingzhao Mansion looked at them with wide eyes, full of admiration.

    Shen Zhiyan is indeed a famous crime-solving hero in the imperial capital. He can deduce how the murderer committed the murder with just a few glances.

    A policeman said: "Master Shen, when we came here, we saw this beggar smelling of alcohol and unable to wake up. He was lying next to this girl."

    Could this beggar be the murderer?

    Murong Ci made a quick decision and said: "Carry the body to the temple and let me know and examine it in detail."

    Shen Zhiyan understood what she meant and ordered the government officials to carry the body to the temple.

    There were only two of them left in the temple, she frowned and said: "??Same.  "

    "It seems that Ma Dong is undoubtedly the murderer."

    "Right now, it seems that Ma Dong is the murderer." Shen Zhiyan was puzzled. "Ma Dong was drunk and had sex while drunk. He first killed Chuntao and then raped and killed Xia Xiaolu. But why didn't he escape? Why did he stay on the case?  Let us catch you at the scene?"

    "He was drunk, and then he was drunk himself, and he slept until the next day." Murong Ci gave a reasonable explanation, "But Ma Dong's appearance of saying that he was wronged and that he did not kill anyone does not seem like a lie."

    "When a person is completely drunk, he will not remember what happened. It is human nature for him not to remember that he raped and killed the person."

    "Let Ma Dong be taken into custody first, and Xia Xiaolu's body will be re-examined in two days." Her bright eyes flashed with a pearly coldness, "The cause of her death cannot be determined yet. There is another doubt. If she and Chuntao went to the West City Gate  If they are looking for someone outside, they should return to the inn after dusk. Why are they stranded outside the west city gate? This cannot be explained. "

    Shen Zhiyan nodded, "What Miss Xia did and where she went in the last few hours of her life is a mystery. It may be the key to solving the case."

    They then interrogated Ma Dong.

    In the lobby of Dali Temple, Ma Dong was escorted in by the government officials.  Looking at the expressionless government officials standing on both sides, feeling the solemn and majestic atmosphere, he was a little scared, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
