Chapter 1517 Investigation

Qin Yan said: "I know about this matter. Bai Hong has already given me the news."

Meng Chao asked: "Brother Qin, do you have any clues now?"

Qin Yan shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Meng Chao said: "The eldest princess must have done it and put the blame on the seventh princess."

Qin Yan said: "Do you have evidence? I think everyone suspects the eldest princess, but they just can't produce evidence. If the eldest princess framed the seventh princess, how would the eldest princess know that the seventh princess would go to the cold palace to meet the second princess? "

Zhou Xiaoyu said: "Could it be that the eldest princess has an spy in the seventh princess's house? It is said that the seventh princess brings food to meet the second princess!"

Meng Chao said: "Miss Zhou is right, there must be someone from the eldest princess's house in the seventh princess's house."

Qin Yan said to Li Tianba: "Li Tianba, go to the Criminal Division Mansion and tell Lord Bai Hongbai this clue."

As soon as Li Tianba heard that he was asked to go to the Criminal Division Mansion, he remembered the last time he went to the Criminal Division Mansion.

Li Tianba said: "Last time I pretended to be the second wife and went to the Criminal Division Mansion, the guard at the door actually winked at me and tried to seduce me. It was so disgusting that I couldn't do it."

Qin Yan said: "This time I'm not asking you to dress up as a woman. What's so disgusting about you?"

Li Tianba thought of something and said with a smile: "Do you think the child in the second lady's belly is the guard at the door?"

Zhou Xiaoyu said: "You should hurry up and inform Master Bai of the news. Stop talking nonsense."

Li Tianba curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll leave first, and you can continue the discussion."

After Li Tianba left, Meng Chao said: "Brother Qin, thank you. I had some objections to you a few days ago, but you helped us without saying anything when something happened."

Qin Yan said: "The Seventh Princess and I are just helping each other. When I help her, I am helping myself. Also, when did you become us?"

Meng Chao said: "Anyway, when the princess needed help the most, it was Brother Qin who helped her. Without you, the princess would not be alive."

Zhou Xiaoyu said: "Mr. Meng, it would be great if you could think about it. Cooperation between the master and the Seventh Princess is a good thing for both parties, and it is not a bad thing."

Meng Chao said: "I really figured it out. I am too narrow-minded. I will support the seventh princess and Brother Qin's decision in the future."

In fact, no matter what decision the Seventh Princess and Qin Yan make, it has nothing to do with Meng Chao. Just because Meng Chao likes the Seventh Princess, he cannot think for the Seventh Princess as her husband without permission, but it is true that Meng Chao thinks too much.

Whether the seventh princess can have a future with him is another matter.

After Bai Hong got the news, he immediately rushed to the seventh princess's house and called the seventh princess's housekeeper Xia Han.

Xia Han saw Bai Hong and asked anxiously: "Master Bai, how is the seventh princess?"

Bai Hong said: "The Seventh Princess is fine. I came to the house to check the deeds and identity certificates of all the people in the house."

Xia Han said: "This is no problem. Master Bai, come with me."

Xia Han took Bai Hong to the seventh princess's study and took out the roster of all the personnel in the seventh princess's mansion from the secret compartment of the study.

Bai Hong said to Xia Han: "Steward Xia, please call everyone in the house to the door of the study. I want to check them one by one."

While Bai Hong was talking to Xia Han, a slave ran into the study room in a panic, gasping for air and saying, "It's not good, Director Xia, someone drowned in the garden pond."

After Bai Hong heard the news of drowning, he led the officers and soldiers to quickly run towards the pond. They thought that someone had committed suicide out of fear when they arrived. Unexpectedly, the body was already floating on the water, which showed that the time since his death had passed. short.

Bai Hong said to the soldiers beside him: "Salvage the body."

Xia Han also ran over at this time. When she saw the body, she was very surprised and said, "Chen Jindie, how could it be her?"

Bai Hong asked: "Who is she? How did she drown in the river?"

Xia Han said: "Did she slip and fall into the pond? She is one of the maids of the Seventh Princess, and she is in charge of the Seventh Princess's meals."

When Bai Hong heard this, he felt that he was trying to silence someone. He thought he had a clue, but he didn't know that the clue had been cut off.

Bai Hong said: "Director Xia called everyone here. I want to ask them one by one." Bai Hong was unwilling to accept it. He felt that no matter how flawless the suspect was, there would still be mistakes. Don't think that killing a little The maid can hinder them from solving the case.

After all the personnel arrived, Bai Hong pointed at Chen Jindie's body and asked, "Which of you shares the same dormitory with her?"

At this time, the two maids stood up, and Bai Hong asked, "What are your names and your jobs in the mansion?"

One of the older slaves said: "Back to Master Bai, I am the cook in the kitchen, mainly responsible for pasta. I have been in the house for more than ten years."

Another younger slave had obviously never experienced this kind of thing, and said with some fear: "I am responsible for the princess's washing. I have only been in the palace for half a year."

Bai Hong asked the older maid: "Do you usually have much contact with Chen Jindie?"

The older slave said: "She is responsible for the princess's diet and comes to the kitchen many times every day."

Bai Hong asked: "Did you make the dessert that the seventh princess brought to the second princess?"

The older slave also heard about the seventh princess. The older slave said: "Master Bai, I made the sweets, but the desserts I made are not poisonous. I have been in the house all day and don't know how to make them." It’s poisonous.”

Bai Hong said: "You can answer whatever I ask you now. I didn't say you poisoned me."

Xia Han said: "Sister Li, don't be afraid. Just tell me what you know. Mr. Bai knows everything and will not wrongly accuse you."

It turned out that the cook's surname was Li. Sister Li said: "Yesterday, Chen Jindie came to me and said that the seventh princess was going to visit the second princess in the cold palace and asked me to make some desserts. After I finished it, Chen Jindie took it away. , and then I never saw her again, even last night she didn’t go back to the dormitory to sleep, I thought she was taken to the palace by the seventh princess."

Bai Hong looked at Chen Jindie's body and said, "I understand."

Xia Han said: "It seems that Chen Jindie has been silenced. Master Bai, you must report it to His Majesty the King and give an explanation to our seventh princess."

The seventh princess is very kind to the people in the house and respects them very much. After the seventh princess's accident, everyone was worried about the seventh princess.

Everyone knelt on the ground: "Please Lord Bai to find the murderer and clear the grievances of the Seventh Princess."

Bai Hong quickly helped up Sister Li who was closest to him: "I will do my best to restore the innocence of the Seventh Princess. It is my responsibility and obligation to serve the Seventh Princess. I am very happy to have you in the Seventh Princess's house. A group of people who have her best interest at heart.”
