The doors and windows were closed at the time, and there was no sign of outsiders sneaking in. From this point of view, it was an accident. The situation at that time should be that the beauty Daji got up at night to urinate. For some unknown reason at the time, she retreated urgently and her slippers fell off.

, her back hit the screen and when she fell to the ground, the back of her head hit the blue brick floor, causing a concussion. However, she was not unconscious at the time. She tried hard to turn over and struggled. However, she only turned over.

She passed out and passed out. After she turned over, she happened to be lying face down in the pile of clothes. As a result, her mouth and nose were covered. In the coma, she was unable to save herself and was suffocated to death!

However, the posture of the corpse made him doubt this reasoning. It stands to reason that when the head is hit hard enough to cause coma, the person will lose consciousness instantly and it will be impossible to turn over. If the impact is not strong enough,

It wasn't enough to make her unconscious immediately. It should be more common to curl up on her side. Lying face down like this is really not in line with common sense.

Could it be that she fell unconscious and someone helped her turn over, deliberately leaving her face down and suffocating her to death?

If so, it is murder. However, if this inference is true, evidence must be found to support this view! That is to say, it is proved that an outsider sneaked into the bedroom.

However, the windows in this bedroom were all closed and bolted from the inside. The window paper was intact and there was no trace of being opened from the outside. The door was also bolted from the inside and was knocked into by Princess Lu.

The door latch was broken, so it was opened. The broken door latch was at the scene!

It is impossible to enter through doors and windows. Could it be from heaven or earth?

Leng Yi looked up at the sky. The tiles on the roof were neat and there were no signs of being uncovered. However, Leng Yi was still worried. He ordered a ladder to be brought. He put it on the eaves and climbed up to take a look. All he could see was the roof.

The snow on the roof was intact and there were no traces of trampling. This meant that no one had entered the room from the roof!

Then all that's left is underground.

Leng Yi returned to the house and carefully checked the ground again. The Zen room was not big, and there were very few furnishings. After inspection, there was no hole in the ground.

Could it be that the murderer used some kind of mechanism to open the door latch or the window latch from the outside? Or, perhaps, he could use the mechanism to re-insert the window latch or door latch!

Leng Yi began to check the windows one by one, but after checking them all, he found nothing. The window paper was all well pasted, and there was not even a hole as big as a pinhole. It was impossible to use thread or wire to open or open it.

Close the latch.

He went to the door again and checked the latch again.

The door bolt was indeed broken, and there were no traces of binding on the door bolt. The door was a single door with the door bolt on one side. After it was plugged in, the door bolt could not be moved with a knife or the like from the outside. Also look for

There is no mechanism to unbolt or fasten the door.

Leng Yi was very depressed. He folded his shoulders and looked down at the ground, thinking.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. His gaze fell on the threshold.

Most of the inside of the threshold was covered with glistening ice! It was relatively thin, and some parts were mottled and peeled off. He immediately turned his head and looked at the bottom side of the door. Sure enough, there were some ice cubes. He slowly opened the door.

Close it. You will find that the peeled part of the threshold and the door exactly match!

Leng Yi smiled, he understood. At that time, the murderer broke open the door and entered the room. Daji Beauty was frightened and fell down. The back of her head hit the green brick floor and she fainted. The murderer turned Daji Beauty over, her head and face

Then, when the murderer left the room, he left the door ajar. There was a heavy snowstorm last night, and the snowflakes rolled up entered the corridor and covered it all over the corridor.

It also fell into the crack of the door and stuck to the door with cold. So, the next day, Dai Qin and Princess Lu refused to open the door, so Princess Lu knocked open the door. She only knocked

Suddenly, the door opened, only because the door was frozen, not bolted!

Seeing it this way, I originally thought it was a secret room. In fact, it was not a secret room at the time of the murder, but the wind and snow later turned it into a secret room.

If this reasoning is true, then Daji Beauty was murdered instead of dying accidentally.

However, can falling snow alone freeze the door? Leng Yi has never experienced it, so he does not know whether this inference is true, but since it is possible, Leng Yi decided to conduct an investigation first to see before conducting relevant tests.

See if there are any clues, and then test again.

At this time, Wang Jien sent for the eunuchs and maids who had followed Leng Yi to investigate the case last time. When they saw Leng Yi, they hurriedly saluted: "Greetings, Mr. Leng!"

Leng Yi said: "It's good that you are here. Empress Da Ji died. The cause of her death is unknown. The government has ordered me to investigate. You should be vigilant around the scene and don't let anyone enter the scene. In addition, no one is allowed to walk around at will."

If anyone moves around, stop it immediately and report it to the officer!"

"Yes!" Several palace maids and eunuchs bowed and agreed.

Leng Yi called Daji's beautiful maid Dai Qin to the next room and began to investigate and question her.

Leng Yi asked Dai Qin: "Did you hear any strange noises last night? For example, the sound of a screen falling to the ground?"

Dai Qin shook his head: "I didn't hear it. The snowstorm last night was so heavy that it blew up the snow and hit the windows, so I couldn't hear any other sounds."

Leng Yi smiled faintly and said, "You live next door. You can hear the sound of the wind and snow blowing on the windows, but you can't hear the sound of your lady knocking down the screen and falling to the ground? How strange!"

Dai Qin suddenly turned pale and knelt down with a grunt and kowtowed: "Master, I deserve to die. I didn't serve my empress well, but my empress' death really has nothing to do with me!"

Leng Yi looked at her happily and said: "The slaves are all in the master's house. Even if they are sitting on the ground, they have to guard the master. But you are sleeping alone in the next door. There is a snowstorm outside. It's so big.

You can't even hear the sound of my wife knocking down the screen. How can I serve like this? Are you trying to be lazy or deliberately avoiding suspicion?"

Dai Qin was so frightened that her face turned pale. Her petite body huddled up into a ball, looking very pitiful. She kowtowed as if she was pounding garlic: "Master, this slave is unjust! It was the empress who let this slave sleep next door. It was not my own idea.

.The empress always likes to sleep alone. She doesn’t want a slave to wait on her. Everything she said is true. Please tell me!”

"Hehe, the beauty Daji is already dead now, so why don't we just let you talk about it?"

Dai Qin's forehead was bleeding: "Master, I don't dare to deceive the master. I am not the only one to serve the queen. There are other maids in the palace who also serve the queen. The master can question them. If it proves that the slave says

If you lie, I am willing to bear any punishment!"

"Of course I will make inquiries. Just get up and go down and wait."

"Yes, thank you sir!" Dai Qin kowtowed a few more times. Then he got up and walked out quickly.

Leng Yi came out and asked the palace maids outside to call the eldest princess of Lu for questioning.

After a while, the palace maid came accompanied by Princess Lu.

She is tall and tall, with a golden walking stick inserted diagonally on her black temples, inlaid with finely carved jade flowers, and hanging pearl strings. On her right forehead is a delicate flower comb inlaid with emerald agate, and her face is bright and pink.

There were traces of tears hanging on her face. There were two pools of clear water under her long eyelashes, her red mouth was warm and tender, and a white fluffy fox scarf made her jade-like face even fairer. The green-white diagonal damask pattern was edged with silver.

She wore a tight-fitting little coat that stretched so tight that her waist was not tight. She wore a large white cloak draped over her shoulders, and the coat was embroidered with white peony satin, making her look like a fairy descendant.

Leng Yi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Wei minister pays homage to the eldest princess of Lu!"

Princess Lu nodded slightly: "Master Leng, no courtesy!"

"Princess, please come next door to talk!"

"Um!"

The two of them came to the room where Dai Qin lived next door and sat down.

Leng Yi was a courtier. Although he was investigating the case, he could only stand. Seeing tears in the eyes of Princess Lu, who had obviously just cried, he asked: "Princess, was she sad for the beauty Daji just now?"

Princess Lu nodded: "Beauty Daji treated me very well. I was very naughty when I was a child, and Beauty Daji always accommodated me. No matter how naughty I was, she never punished me. Now she died innocently and tragically, so I am very sad."

"

"Princess, please give me my condolences." Leng Yi said: "The official has ordered Wei Chen to investigate the matter. Wei Chen wants to know what happened from the princess."

"This morning, when I just got up, I heard shouting and banging on the door from the wing opposite. I was very surprised, who was making such a noise this early in the morning? I opened the door and saw that it was the beauty Da Ji.

The maid was shouting, so I went over to ask. She said that Lady Daji didn’t call her all night. She was very worried, so she knocked on the door, but it was locked from the inside. She knocked on the door but no one answered. So I helped take the picture.

I called the door to call the queen, but the queen still didn't answer, so I became anxious and said that nothing would happen, so I opened the door and took a look! After saying that, I slammed the door hard, and the door was opened and the door latch was broken.

We saw Beauty Daji lying motionless among a pile of clothes on the ground, and the screen hanging the clothes collapsed. We went in to check and found that Beauty Daji was dead. She died so miserably!"

Having said this, Princess Lu sobbed softly.

Leng Yi waited for her to calm down a little, then asked again: "Princess, you didn't touch anything inside after you went in?"

"No, after we found that beauty Da Ji was out of breath, we withdrew. Dai Qin knelt on the ground and cried. We didn't touch anything."

"Were the windows closed at the time?"

"It's closed."

"Did you hear any strange noises last night?"

"No, - the wind and snow were so heavy last night, apart from the roar of the wind and snow, where else could you hear any other sounds?"

"Well, Wei Chen was woken up by a scream earlier. When he got up, the sky had just started to light up and he couldn't see the figure clearly a few steps away. Then when you heard Dai Qin knocking on the door and then knocked on the door, the sky should still be bright.

There’s no light, right?”

"yes!"

Leng Yi looked at Princess Lu up and down, smiled, and said: "Since it's not yet dawn, why did the princess get up? Moreover, she was dressed neatly, as if she had a premonition that something was going to happen.

Somewhat surprising.”

Princess Lu shouted and stood up: "What do you mean? Do you suspect that I killed the beauty Daji?"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare. Wei Chen just feels strange. Logically speaking, it's such a cold day in the temple and it's snowing outside. There's really nothing worth asking the princess to get up so early to do. Why doesn't the princess have such a cold day?

Liang got up early, are you waiting in the house? Is the princess going somewhere? "

"I like to get up early, don't you?"

"Of course, but the princess is fully dressed and dressed. She didn't sleep last night and was just waiting for something in the house, right?"

"What are you waiting for?"

"It's hard to talk about this Wei Chen. However, it is indeed unusual for someone to light up and dress up before dawn in the morning. That's why Wei Chen ventured to ask a few questions."

Princess Lu pointed her finger at Leng Yi's forehead: "I'm warning you, when I like to get up and dress up, that's my business and has nothing to do with you! If you are trying to make excuses and insult my innocence by spouting blood for no reason, I, I
