Chapter 294 The unexpected fourth person

Zhou Xian rubbed his ears, "Not to say, when I entered the palace today, everyone was polite; the emperor was talking nonsense, wishing I could ask from my hair to my toes... I was so kind in the world, but I couldn't adapt to it."

"I feel so kind to hear Ji Da Corsair speak now!"

Chi Shi turned his back, took out a pill, and stuffed it into his mouth, "It seems that my senior brother is really guilty, he has cured your brain! He can't even tell the difference! Who is the one who owes scolding?"

"Wow..." Zhao Lanting squatted down and vomited even more violently. She drooped her head, looking desperate. "Two, this place is not a place for flirting, especially next to you, there is a person who is in his belly and in his mind!"

"I wonder who can come over and help me pinch the Renzhong? No, maybe it's a tiger's mouth... no matter where I pinch it, I'm dizzy now...wow..."

Chi Shi was about to walk over, but Zhou Xian flashed and stood in front of her. Chang Kang was already running over happily, "Miss Zhao, I have an antidote here. You can smell it and it will be fine."

Chi Shi was stunned and looked at Zhou Xian in confusion, "Do you know what's going on?"

Chang Kang is not Cheng Fei, so he doesn’t carry all kinds of medicines with him, which just happens to be the right one.

Zhou Xian nodded, "A serial murder case has recently occurred in the capital. Because the bodies of the deceased were found in the underground river, the court called this the case of corpse throwing in the underground river."

"So far, three corpses have been found. If you hadn't saved Zhao Lanting today, he would have been the fourth one. The first deceased was a revengeful master of the Imperial College. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he went out to look at the lights and never came back."

"He likes quietness and lives alone in the practice of recuperation near Wuyun Temple. No one in his family noticed that he was missing. After ten days, his body was washed out and was taken away by fishermen and sent to Jingzhao Mansion."

"The body is so festering, but because there are a lot of moss stuck in the hair and there are signs of being bitten by mice on the body. Therefore, Su Jie and Cao Tuiwang discovered this place."

Zhou Xian said, squatted down, lit the torch in his hand, and illuminated the ground.

The underground river is underground, and the river channels on both sides have been renovated, but there is almost no one here. The moss covers the entire ground, like a thick green blanket, and snakes, insects, rats and ants can be seen everywhere.

"The people from Jingzhao Mansion came to search and found a place where there were a large group of dead mice and fish that had their belly-turned."

Chi Shi frowned when he heard this, "The cause of death of the deceased was poisoned? After rats and fish bite his body, they were also poisoned to death?"

Zhou Xian nodded, "According to the autopsy results, there were no fatal scars on the deceased. His bones were all black, and it was obviously very powerful poison. He died on the shore first, but when it rained in spring, the water immediately rose. Then he was washed into the river and flowed out along the river..."

"It was also because it was washed away by water, no trace was found in Jingzhao Mansion. Then, three days later, when Cao Tui and Su Corps came here to patrol, they found a second corpse. This time the corpse was not washed away."

"The second deceased was a girl, only about five years old. Her family took her out to the market, but she didn't expect the child to be lost suddenly. Jingzhao Mansion just thought that she was abducted by Huazi. There were many cases like this. No one thought that it was related to the previous case."

"Su Corp. wanted to come down and find clues again, and found the child's body. Then he was a couple with the case of Jingzhao Mansion to confirm the child's identity. He was also poisoned to death."

"This third person is a young man in his twenties. He was carrying a load of salads on the street to sell salads. After setting up the stall in the morning, it was dark and he didn't come back. His family went to search on the street and found the salad stall. Most of the cakes inside were still there, but there were no one."

"I asked many old customers, and they all said that in the morning, I saw the stalls, but the person disappeared. The family immediately reported to the official. The official Cao was the first to suspect the underground river. Sure enough, his body was found under him. The cause of death was also poisoning."

Zhou Xian said, looking at Zhao Lanting who was wiping her mouth with a veil.

Zhao Lanting hid behind Jiule and poked his head out, "Your Highness, although we did have some indistinct entanglements before. But before you left the capital, I had already told His Majesty."

"Lanting had no intention of being the Princess of Chu. You had no interest in me before, and now you are not interested in it. Don't be like the script, and think there is a woman in the world who is unwilling to be the Princess of Chu. She is simply beautiful and refined. Unlike other young ladies, she has completely attracted your attention."

"Don't look at me anymore, I feel scared."

Chi Shi listened and looked at Zhou Xian teasingly, "Miss, you have successfully attracted my attention!"

Zhou Xian's face turned dark, "I want to ask, what are the characteristics of Miss Zhao, who was saved by Chi Jiu's hero, who kidnapped you?"

Chi Shi frowned, grabbed the torch from Zhou Xian's hand, and shone it on the rocks on the top of the underground river. She and Zhao Lanting fell from there before.

The entrance to this mechanism is in an alley, with people coming and going. If you step on something, it will trigger it. There will definitely be many people falling down. There will be no rumors in the capital, such as a cannibal alley, a door leading to the underworld, etc.

Since there is no, it means that this mechanism is unlikely to be triggered by her by accident. But someone saw her standing on the mechanism and deliberately opened it... she wanted her and Zhao Lanting to fall down.

However, I always felt something was wrong. Chi Shi shook his head and looked at Zhao Lanting, "You are a daughter in the prime minister's family and have very strict discipline. When I saw you, there were a group of maids and mothers around me. Why are you sneaking around me today?"

Zhao Lanting's face turned slightly red when she heard this, "What can I do when I go to Wangjinglou today? Isn't it just that I just want to secretly take a look at the streets of the New Science and Technology Third A? My parents didn't let me get close. I was using the excuse to secretly run out of Wangjinglou."

"There are few people in that place, so I stood in that corner. Before I could see it, I smelled a scent, and then a veil came over and covered my mouth and nose. I just felt dizzy and my eyes were filled with stars."

"The man carried me on his back and ran very fast. I didn't see his face clearly. I only knew that it was a man who felt very young and had a strange smell on his body. As for what it was, I didn't know, it felt like the smell of grass and trees..."
