C28 Evidence of a Black Cat

Gu Qingli looked at him for a long time before her gaze finally began to wander a bit. She coughed lightly and thought of something that could resolve the embarrassment, "My prince, I have tuberculosis. Don't you want to stay away from me?"

Xiao Yi Xiu's answer was to raise his hand and touch her earlobe. With a light twitch, he asked, "What are you blushing for?"

"Who's blushing?" A numb feeling spread over her ears as her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She was provoked by his actions to the point that she was about to go berserk, and her gaze returned a piercing gaze.

"Lovely for just a moment." He snorted.

"What?" His voice was too soft for her to hear.

Xiao Yi Xiu withdrew his hand and said coldly, "Who did you learn the analysis from, Consort Wang?"

"It looks like it's from a random book."

"There are so many books about princesses. Have you been feeling better? "

Gu Qingli wasn't sure what he meant, but she snorted, "It's still the same."

"You've been taking Miss Li Yue's medicine?"

"Yes."

No wonder she always had the medicinal fragrance of Li Yue on her body, which could not be removed.

Having been afflicted with the poison for so many years, he had felt that he was extremely disgusted by the bitter scent of the medicine. However, ever since Li Yue had appeared, for some reason, he had begun to feel that the herbal aroma was emitting from her body.

Or perhaps it could only be said that the medicinal scent on her body was called the medicinal fragrance. Liu Yanyu and Luo Yun both had a pure and bitter aura on them.

Xin Ziyao's residence was quickly surrounded by the guards. Madam Qin and the other two naturally had no choice but to return to their own residence.

As they passed by Xiaoyao's garden, Xiao Yixiu walked up the path to Li Yue's house. Gu Qingli knew full well that he wouldn't be able to find her in the past, but she was still curious about what he was doing, so she couldn't help but follow him.

The room was naturally empty. He silently placed his hand on the medicine pot on the small table. His fingertip slowly slid down, and his movements were extremely gentle.

Suddenly, a black cat jumped over. It squatted on the table and looked at him with its glass-like eyes. He recognized that this was the cat that Li Yue had treated her leg. It was also one that Xin Ziyao had tamed before she died.

Xiao Yixiu wanted to touch it, but it nimbly jumped away, landing into Gu Qing Li's arms.

Xiao Yi Xiu turned his head and stared at the cat for a long moment. Then he looked at her. "Why are you following me?"

"Who's following you? They're just here to find Miss Li Yue. They want to see if the medicine has been fried well today."

"She's not here."

"Then I'll be going." Gu Qingli carried the cat and left.

"Don't go, the cat in your arms …"

"Meow!" The cat meowed as it should.

"You want it?"

"It was raised by Xin Ziyao and never held by strangers."

Gu Qingli was stunned. She hadn't expected a cat to arouse his suspicions. Unconsciously, she looked down and saw something hanging from the cat's paw.

It was just a few thin lines. She held them up to the sun for a long time but could not find anything.

"See what?"

"It's fibers from clothes, but I really can't tell by just this." Gu Qingli took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped it around her chest.

"As long as this cat has been hugged, there's a possibility that it could draw the thread. It doesn't have to be the killer's clothes."

Gu Qingli nodded and sighed. No one knew if the cat was there when Xin Ziyao died.

"Let's go. Li Yue shouldn't appear. She only appears at night."

Gu Qingli thought, wasn't it because of this wangfei's freedom at night? She let go, but the black cat refused to go, following her every step of the way.

"Strange, Blackjade likes you so much."

Gu Qingli felt a chill in her heart.

"It also really likes Li Yue, because Li Yue saved it."

"What does Your Highness want to say?"

"Did This King say anything?" Just a casual chat. "

Gu Qingli was speechless. She quickened her steps to get out of his sight, but she was fast as a cat, so she could only sigh in her heart.

Very soon, it was noon. When they arrived at the house where Xin Ziyao had died, her stiff corpse had already begun to ease up. Gu Qingli finally opened her fingers without a hitch.

Just as she had expected, Xin Ziyao's palm was scratched with a bloody scratch, but there was no trace of clothing under her fingernails. Upon closer inspection, her face slowly darkened.

Xiao Yi Xiu also squatted beside her. He used a handkerchief to wrap around Xin Zi Yao's wrist, a trace of disgust appearing in his eyes.

Gu Qingli knew that his obsession with cleanliness had flared up again, so she scoffed, "Don't touch it if you're afraid it's dirty. The stench of the corpses will come out soon."

He snorted and put down the corpse's hand. "The head here is flesh and blood. What part of the killer's body did she grab?"

"That's simple. Call everyone in the house, especially those who are close to her."

"It would be easy if it was exposed, but what if it isn't?"

"The only thing she could grab was naturally the exposed parts. Otherwise it would be clothing and fibers. Who wouldn't wear an outer coat to kill people?"

As soon as Gu Qingli finished her sentence, she met Xiao Yixiu's complicated gaze and knew that she had made a low level mistake.

It was the height of summer. If the culprit was someone who was close to Xin Ziyao and lived very close to her, then they might not necessarily have to wrap themselves up in order to kill him.

"Alright then, I'll check the women, you check the men."

Xiao Yi Xiu nodded. Naturally, he wouldn't capture all the people in the manor and check them out. He only ordered a few suspicious characters to gather in one room. After all, the person they suspected the most was already locked in a small area …

In front of Gu Qingli were Qin Caisheng, Yuehe, Jiang Shiyu, Luo Yun and a few maidservants.

Luo Yun was the most dissatisfied: "What does it have to do with me? I never dated Signora Hindoo. "

"Everyone has to check. There's no exception."

Luo Yun snorted lightly. "If we can't find anything among these people, won't the princess want us to check it out as well?"

Gu Qingli's pretty face was like ice as she swept her gaze over her. "If this wangfei wanted to kill her, I wouldn't have to strangle her to death. I could use the name of disobeying the law of women to immerse myself in the pig cages."

Luo Yun rolled her eyes. "But there's still one more lady in the mansion that hasn't arrived yet."

Gu Qingli raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with questions.

"Miss Li Yue."

Gu Qing Li's heart shuddered and she forgot that Li Yue was a thorn in Luo Yun's side.

"We'll investigate first. Miss Li Yue is a guest. If we want to investigate, we'll get the last." Since Miss Luo is so unwilling to be examined, this wangfei will begin with the wives and maids taking off their outer robes. "

Although they didn't know why, the girls still unwillingly took off their coats.

Apart from the thin jacket on the outside, there was only a bra and a long skirt inside during the summer. They all stared eagerly at Gu Qingli, thinking that if they continued to strip off her clothes, it would be a disgrace. Could it be that this wangfei had a special hobby?

"Extend your arms horizontally." Gu Qing Li circled around them one by one, going up and down, not missing a single one.

"Madam Yue, what's this around your neck?" Gu Qingli stopped in front of Yuehe, staring at the few bloody wounds on her neck.

"Ah?" This is what the black jade caught at noon today. "

"Today... Noon? What a coincidence! "

Yue Manhe instinctively felt that something was amiss, and stammered, "Yes …" Yeah, I saw Black Jade walking around the herb garden as if he was hungry, so I went to hug him, and then... and somehow got caught by it. "

"I heard that Blackjade is very hostile towards strangers?"

"Yeah, but we often meet up with Xin …" Black Jade is very familiar with us, and I don't know why he suddenly became angry and came to arrest me. "

Gu Qingli sneered, "Isn't this too much of a coincidence? "Come with me to see the prince."

"Esteemed wangfei, what did I do wrong?" "You have to make it clear, don't you?" Yue He was in a panic.

Gu Qingli couldn't be bothered to talk to her, so she gestured for Yu Ying and Yu Li to carry her out.

"Esteemed wangfei, you've gone too far. Although I'm just a madam, I'm still a part of the prince's household …"
