Feng Ning Yan stood up and looked in the direction of the shout.
A girl wearing an apron hurriedly ran forward, shouting as she ran, but was stopped by a guard who rushed over to stop her.
The zither music abruptly stopped. Shen Ling Jue walked behind Feng Ning Yan, and shouted to the guard not far away: "What happened?"
When the guard asked, he found out that there was a dead body in the well ahead.
Hearing this, Lan Zhu's face turned pale, "Is it a man or a woman?"
The servant girl recovered her strength, and seeing Lan Zhu, she looked at the clothes on Lan Zhu's body in fear, and shouted out, "It's the same as this big sister … "A servant girl in a lotus dress …"
All of the maidservants in the mansion wore the same kind of heavenly water jade. Only the maidservants by Feng Ningyan's side wore the same kind of dress as the ones in the general's mansion.
Lan Zhu almost fainted when she heard that, "It's not Green Ruo … "It definitely isn't Green Ruo …"
Only now did Feng Ningyan realize that the matter Lan Zhu wanted to say but hesitated to do was probably the matter of Lu Ruo.
Her first reaction was the same as Lan Zhu's. She couldn't believe that the corpse floating at the bottom of the well was green.
She ran down from the pavilion and ordered the servant girl, "Where is the corpse? "Bring me there!"
The maidservant could only lead the way. Lan Zhu hurriedly followed Feng Ningyan to the well.
The roads were all small paths in the garden. It was difficult to walk on them because Lan Zhu had fallen down many times due to exhaustion.
Feng Ning Yan helped her up, gritting her teeth as she said in a low voice, "Lan Zhu, I order you to return to Linlang Pavilion immediately."
Lan Zhu immediately started crying. "Miss, Lu Ruo and I were bought into the General's Estate the same year, and we are as close as sisters. Miss and she are Lan Zhu's only family in this world …"
"Because of this, I can't let you go!" Feng Ning Yan ordered the guards to hold Lan Zhu and send her back.
"Miss …" Lan Zhu cried and refused to leave.
"Why are you crying!" Feng Ningyan became a little anxious, "It's just that the lotus color dress might not be the Green Ruo!"
Lan Zhu shook her head, "Miss, you don't know …" Yesterday, Lu Ruo said that she had a stomachache and went back to her room first, so I didn't think much of it. I was waiting outside your room at night, and it wasn't until you all left that I found out that Lu Ruo wasn't in her room at all … And I was scared because she's been very wrong lately... "
At this time, Shen Ling Jue had already walked over.
"You mean, LuLu might have disappeared since last night?"
Lan Zhu wiped her tears away and nodded, "Yes …" I've already had people search through the estate today, but I haven't been able to find her where she usually goes … She definitely won't leave the prince's mansion and leave the young miss without permission … "
Unable to persuade Lan Zhu, Feng Ningyan could only bring her and Shen Ling Jue to the well.
At this moment, the two attendants had already scooped up the corpse and placed it on the grass to the side.
The other side of his clothes was stained red with blood. Although he had been submerged in the water for a long time, it was still visible and stained with blood.
Although the corpse had already swelled up, judging from the clothes and embroidered patterns on the stockings, if it wasn't Green Ruo, who else could it be?
Lan Zhu threw herself on the ground beside Green Ruo's corpse and hugged her while crying bitterly.
"Green Ruo …" Green with... You said you had a stomachache and went to sleep. Why didn't you sleep well in your room and run to the well? You can't die, what will I do if you die … I am so stupid, how can I take good care of you, Lu Ruo... "You can't die …"
Feng Ning Yan was half-kneeling at the side, carefully examining the wounds on Green Ruo's body, but when she touched Green Ruo's cold corpse, her heart ached so much it was hard to breathe, and her eyes gradually blurred.
Shen Ling Jue gently held onto her shoulder, "I'll do it, you and Lan Zhu move to the side slowly."
Feng Ning Yan nodded. She stood up and clenched her fists. She didn't feel anything even when her nails pierced into her palm.
Shen Ling Jue carefully examined the corpse, took off his gloves and walked in front of Feng Ning Yan.
"He killed two people."
"Be specific." Feng Ning Yan choked with sobs.
Shen Ling Jue couldn't bear it anymore, but still continued, "Green Ruo's neck has five finger marks, and the marks are very deep. It was caused by the man strangling her throat. There were scratches on her hands and bits of skin under her nails. That is to say, before she died, she quarreled with people face to face and acted against them. But strangling the throat is not a fatal wound. It is a sharp weapon used to pierce the blood vessels in the neck from behind and to the right of her body. "
"Sharp weapon? What would that be? " Feng Ning Yan hurriedly asked.
Shen Ling Jue thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a weapon.
"The wound was originally not big, but after the killer stabbed her, he used that sharp weapon to gouge a few times on the Green Ruo's neck. The wound was enlarged and damaged, so it's impossible to determine the original appearance of the weapon."
Feng Ningyan's mind went blank, and her body fiercely swayed. Shen Ling Jue hurriedly hugged her.
This person was very vicious. He was afraid that the green liquid would not be able to penetrate her body and even twisted her wound a few times. This way, the blood in her veins would quickly spurt out, causing her to die from excessive loss of blood for a short period of time.
Hearing this conclusion, Lan Zhu had already fainted from the shock.
Feng Ning Yan grabbed onto Shen Ling Jue's clothes tightly, gritted her teeth and shouted: "I want revenge! Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will kill those two people! Avenge the Green Ruo! "
Shen Ling Jue held her tightly: "Listen to me, go back to Linlang Pavilion and drink some Soul-Rejuvenating Soup before sleeping. If anything happens to Lu Lu in my Duke Palace, I will definitely give you an explanation before dawn tomorrow! "
"How am I supposed to sleep?!" Feng Ningyan's eyes turned red with hate. "Luoluo is timid and has never offended anyone. Her death must be related to me. If I didn't bring her into the capital, she wouldn't have died!"
"Feng Ning Yan!" Shen Ling Jue shouted in a deep voice, "You think you still have the ability to investigate the case and find the culprit?"
"I …" Feng Ningyan felt extremely wronged, but she couldn't deny that she couldn't calmly ponder over it in the face of Green Ruo's corpse.
"I don't need to check, I don't want to make a ruckus, I'm just watching over you, okay?"
At this moment, the chief guard, Jing Jiu, had already been ordered to return from outside the manor. He hurriedly came to the well to wait.
Shen Ling Jue ordered Jing Qi, "Seal off the news of Lu Ruo's death, do not let anyone know anything about her, and properly place her body on the ground for further examination. At the same time, she was also secretly investigating the places that Luoluo had been to recently and the people she had come into contact with, as well as what she had done. "Regardless of what you discover, bring it to Linlang Pavilion."
"Yes, sir." Jing Qi accepted the order and immediately went to make the arrangements.
Shen Ling Jue held Feng Ning Yan's ice-cold hand: "Come, I'll accompany you back to Linlang Pavilion."
When Feng Ningyan saw him ask Jing Qi to send all the clues he found to Linlang Pavilion, she finally relaxed.
An hour later, Jing Zhan arrived at Linlang Pavilion's study room and brought with him some unbelievable clues.
"Reporting to the prince and princess, the autopsy is complete."
Jingqi handed over the coroner's record. Feng Ning Yan flipped it open and looked at it before slapping the table, "Bastard! This was impossible! Are you sure you're not mistaken? "
In the physical examination results section, there were two words clearly written: It was no longer a complete match.
