Chapter 183 Murder Case
Chapter 183 Murder Case
There was a commotion among the women, and although nothing serious happened, it was not a good look after all.
As for the male guests, things went much more smoothly. After all, Xu Tian didn't come, Zhang Zheng was still under house arrest, and few other people from the Prime Minister's faction came either, so there wasn't any trouble.
After dinner, Li Mulan wanted to go see her fifth sister-in-law, who should be awake by now. Just as she was about to go out, she ran into Liu Feng, Huo Yuanruo, and Ye Tianyu who were rushing over.
Liu Feng and Ye Tianyu did not come during the day, but Xu had come. Li Mulan's identity had already spread, so there was no need for them to hide it, so they came openly.
Liu Feng and Ye Tianyu first visited Li Cong before coming to Li Mulan.
Liu Feng looked anxious, "Uncle Junior Master, help me, quick."
Li Mulan frowned, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Ye Tianyu and Huo Yuanruo, who were following behind, actually had no idea what was going on, but they just followed along anyway.
"Uncle Junior Master, please come with me to the Ministry of Justice. It's urgent. Very urgent."
"Ministry of Justice? Why are you going there?"
Liu Feng was very anxious and pulled Li Mulan's arm, "Hey, let's talk while we walk."
Liu Feng has not officially joined the Ministry of Justice yet, but he has passed all the tests and the appointment documents will arrive soon. He has a good personal relationship with Zheng Xing, the only son of Zheng Rong, the Minister of Justice, so he has been working with him on cases.
Last night, a family of seven died in their home on West Street, and they were only found this morning. However, the scene was too tragic, and everyone who saw it couldn't stand it. It just so happened that the coroner of their Ministry of Justice was on vacation and returned to his hometown, leaving only two apprentices, who were useless.
After arriving at the scene, even Li Mulan was shocked by the situation before her. This killer was really a pervert.
Liu Feng and Huo Yuanruo were okay, after all, one had seen too much, and the other was a man of the martial arts world and was very brave. However, Ye Tianyu and Li Xi, who insisted on coming along, only took one look and then went out to vomit.
"Uncle Junior Master, let me introduce you to this. This is Zheng Xing, the only son of the Minister of Justice."
Liu Feng pulled a tall and strong man with a square face over. The man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and had a strong build. Although his expressionless face made him look a little distant, he was full of righteousness.
Li Mulan nodded, "Mr. Zheng."
Zheng Xing bowed and said, "Miss Li, I'm sorry to bother you this time."
In fact, when Liu Feng suggested that Li Mulan come, he disagreed, after all, she was a woman, but now that he knew her identity, he had no more concerns. From Lingxiao Palace, could she be an ordinary person?
Li Mulan crossed her arms and looked at Liu Feng, "You are really good at finding trouble for me. You thought of me first for such a good thing?"
Liu Feng scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Hey, Junior Master, you are the only suitable person around me, I don't know anyone else?"
"Who said there's only one? Isn't the second brother here? He's more suitable than me. He also likes dissection more. Maybe he knows the murderer's motive better."
Liu Feng shrank his neck. That was his Second Uncle-Master. “I… I don’t dare.”
Li Mulan snorted coldly, "You bully the weak and fear the strong, do you have any tools?"
As soon as Liu Feng heard it, he knew she had agreed, and he immediately smiled, "Yes, yes, everything is ready."
Zheng Xing immediately asked someone to fetch all the coroner's tools. Li Mulan looked at those rough, bloodstained tools with disgust on her face.
"Yuan Yuan."
"arrive."
This was Huo Yuanruo's first time watching someone handle a case, so he was quite interested.
"Go get my medicine box and the tools. Explain the situation to my sister so she knows what to prepare. Hurry."
"okay."
Huo Yuanruo flew away and disappeared.
Zheng Xing looked at the direction he left with envy. He was worthy of being the disciple of the martial arts leader. When would he be able to acquire such skills?
Li Mulan first went to see the scene. It was a mess. All seven people died in the backyard. They must have been hacked to death in their sleep. But the seven people were divided into three rooms. Two elders were in one room, three children were in one room, and a middle-aged couple was in another room.
Every room was in a mess, with tables and chairs overturned, and broken vases, tea sets, etc.
Li Mulan looked puzzled, "Master Zheng, did anyone move at the scene?"
Zheng Xing quickly replied, "No, it was the food delivery vendor who first discovered it this morning. He had made an appointment with the hostess to deliver the ordered food. But when he knocked on the door and got no response, he pushed the door open with a little force. Then, he realized something was wrong and came in to take a look, and discovered the tragedy here."
Li Mulan nodded, "I don't think he has touched anything here."
Zheng Xing pointed to a fallen bucket not far away and said, "The vendor saw what happened at the door and ran out in fear. He accidentally bumped into the bucket. The others did not move."
Li Mulan stroked her chin, "That's strange."
"What's so strange?"
"Look, seven people died in three rooms. Four adults were chopped beyond recognition. How could they not make any noise or run away?"
Zheng Xing frowned. "My men have asked the neighbors, and there was nothing unusual last night. Could he have been drugged?"
"Then how do we explain these young masters Zheng in the room?"
Zheng Xing thought for a moment, "Could it be that the murderer did it on purpose to conceal his identity?"
"That's not impossible, but... I always feel like something is wrong."
Li Mulan initially checked the scene and then the dead. She felt sorry for the three children, the oldest of whom was only seven or eight years old, who were all killed with one knife. The murderer was really cruel, not even sparing the children. However, they were not stabbed dozens of times like the other four adults, which probably meant that the murderer was very kind.
The children's room was much tidier. Li Mulan carefully checked the wounds on their bodies. They all died from heavy bleeding caused by being cut in the neck. The time of death should be the hour of Hai last night.
After Li Mulan roughly checked the wounds of the seven people, Huo Yuanruo also arrived, but he was not alone, Chu Chenfeng was also there.
Li Mulan was very surprised, "Why is the prince here?"
All the people in the Ministry of Justice were already kneeling on the ground. Zheng Xing was quite familiar with the Regent, so he was extremely shocked at this moment.
"I just happened to be discussing some things with the Grand Tutor in the mansion. Seeing Young Master Huo in a hurry, I asked him. Are you...helping with the autopsy?"
Li Mulan glared at Liu Feng unhappily, "Yes, the coroner from the Ministry of Justice was not here, so I came to help. But, Mr. Zheng, you still have to pay me. I don't help you for nothing."
Zheng Xing finally reacted, "Yes, it should be."
Liu Feng is Chu Chenfeng's little fan. He could only watch his idol from afar before. But now, hehehe, with the relationship with his own junior uncle, he can be closer to his idol. That's great.
