Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 325

325 A major breakthrough in the case (1)

There were. few things he needed to confirm ... “What is it?” he asked.

Huaiqing pursed his lips. As he watched Xu Qi ‘an, he wondered what he might discover. He, who was also carefully searching the room, was in a state of confusion at the moment. He did not find any useful clues or major discoveries.

“First of all, if Consort Fu really suffered from the crown prince’s abuse, she would definitely call for help. Why didn’t the officers and Palace maids of the clear wind Palace hear it? Let’s go downstairs first ... Go and gather all the palace maids and officers in the courtyard.”

The last sentence was directed at the leader.

Everyone immediately went downstairs and gathered all the messengers and Palace maids in the courtyard. There were twelve people in total, four Palace maids and eight messengers.

“All of you, listen well. This is Lord Xu, who is here to investigate the case by imperial edict. He has full authority in the case of Consort Fu’s murder. Lord Xu has something to ask you. You must answer all questions and not hide anything.” The sub-chief said in a deep voice.

“Yes!”

Everyone lowered their heads in response.

The leader nodded in satisfaction and looked at Xu Qi ‘an.

Xu Qi ‘an locked his eyes on a pretty Palace maid and waved. “You, come over.”

The little palace maid lowered her head and walked forward with small steps.

“Come a little closer.”

The young Palace maid came to Xu Qi ‘an, and he whispered a few words into his ear. Then he said, “”Go on.”

The little palace maid jogged into the attic.

What was he doing?

The young eunuch who framed and supervised the video was confused, while huaiqing looked pensive.

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the rest of the palace maids and officers and said, “”This official asks you, on the day Consort Fu met with an accident, why weren’t there any Palace maids serving by her side?”

The palace maid and the servant looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes turned sharp, and he scolded, “”Those who conceal or don’t report the information will be regarded as the suspect of Consort Fu’s murder and sent to the prison.”

“Sir, we don’t dare to go near the attic,” a young eunuch immediately replied.

He didn’t dare to get close to the attic?

Xu Qi ‘an felt that he had found a bright spot. A man had entered Consort Fu’s bedroom, but the servants in the courtyard did not dare to approach. What did this mean?

It meant that there was a grassland above Emperor Yuan jing’s head.

Xu Qian was secretly looking forward to it.

The young eunuch explained,”Her Highness Consort Fu loves to drink. When she drinks too much, she would beat and scold the servants of the clear wind Palace.” We were afraid of suffering unexpected disasters, so when we saw the Empress drinking, we would stay far away.”

“Is it like this every time?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

“Yes, there are no exceptions.” The young eunuch replied.

“When did it start?”

The young eunuch hesitated for a moment and then shook his head. “When this servant entered Qingfeng Palace Hall, her ladyship Fu became like this.”

White cut chicken, you’re not qualified ... Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes swept across the crowd and asked, “”Which one of them is Lady Fu’s personal Palace maid?”

“It’s this servant ...” An older Palace maid stepped out.

“You answer my question.” Xu Qi ‘an stared at her.

“This, this ...” The older Palace maid said hesitantly, “”It was fine a few years ago, but in recent years, the Empress’s personality has become stranger and stranger. She often stands alone in the pavilion, looking at something.

when he drinks, he likes to recite some poems that mourn the spring and autumn ...

She spoke very obscurely, probably because she didn’t dare to interfere with Consort Fu or the emperor’s family affairs. However, Xu Qi ‘an and Huai Qing were both smart people and understood the implied meaning.

This was the sorrow of a lonely woman ... Alas, Emperor Yuan jing was not a son. He had so many beautiful harems in his harem, but he went to cultivate and even abstinent ... Xu Qi ‘an sighed and asked, ”

“On the day of the incident, did anyone hear Consort Fu’s cry for help?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t say anything. He looked in the direction of the pavilion and nodded slightly.

Everyone followed his gaze. The young Palace maid who had just entered the pavilion was standing on the observation deck. With Xu Qi ‘an’s permission, the young Palace maid immediately closed the lattice door of the observation deck. After a while, a weak cry for help came from inside.

At this point, even the not-so-smart framed man understood Xu Qi ‘an’s meaning.

bastards, how dare you lie? the cry for help was so clear. The framed man said angrily.

The servants in the courtyard were shocked and quickly explained.

Xu Qi ‘an gestured for them to calm down, then turned to the leader and said, “”Bring out the broken guardrail ...

Then, he looked at the older Palace maid and said, “”You stay here, the rest of you can leave.”

The older Palace maid was a little flustered, her hands shaking uneasily.

“Little eunuch, go to the outer court first. I’ll call you later and you can come back.” Xu Qi ‘an originally thought that this tactless little eunuch would refute. He had even planned to use huaiqing and Lin’ an to suppress him.

In the end, the young eunuch did not say anything and left willingly.

“What did you find?”

After they left, huaiqing was the first to speak.

The cold and proud Princess had her own reasoning in her heart. Just now, the palace maid’s cry for help in the attic could be heard from outside, even though it was very weak.

There were two possibilities, first, Consort Fu didn’t call for help. Second, Consort Fu was being controlled by someone.

“How’s the crown prince’s cultivation?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

...

“I’ve practiced martial arts for a few years, and I’m very skilled in archery, horse riding, and shooting.” Huaiqing replied.

Oh, it was a weak chicken ... Xu Qi ‘an nodded.

It was understandable that the crown prince’s cultivation was not even in the essence refinement realm. For a Prince, the most important thing was to carry on the family line and have children. What’s the big deal about personal martial arts? The Emperor didn’t need to charge into the enemy lines.

Secondly, it was also a major test whether he could remain calm in the face of beauty.
