Mo Liandi's face instantly turned cold. "So, you don't know when this left leg disappeared either?"
Although Mo Litian was reluctant to admit it in his heart, it was indeed the truth. "Just as you said, I've already sent people to arrest those who had contact with this corpse."
A hint of mockery flashed in Mo Liandi's eyes, but he didn't say anything more. His eyes fell on Liu Rumei. Seeing her frowning tightly, he couldn't help asking softly, "Liu Liu, have you found anything?"
Liu Rumei didn't answer. Her beautiful eyes were fixed directly on the head of the corpse.
Seeing this, Mo Liandi also stopped talking.
Mo Litian also sat down on one side, picked up the tea on the table, and drank it all in one gulp to calm the anger in his heart.
The murderer had taken the left leg of the corpse right under his nose. It showed that the murderer was quite skillful.
After about half a cup of tea, Liu Rumei suddenly pulled out a silver needle from the head of the corpse.
When Mo Liandi and Mo Litian saw this, a look of confusion flashed across their eyes. "What's this?"
Liu Rumei remembered that when she first went to see Xue Zhan, the corpse soaked in water was the same. However, the silver needle in that corpse was the cause of the person's death.
But it was obvious that Qi Zhenyu had died from the punishment of being torn apart by five horses! Then why was this silver needle in Qi Zhenyu's head? What was its use?
Mo Litian immediately got up and said to the guard outside the door, "Go and invite the imperial physician!"
Perhaps only the imperial physician would know the use of this silver needle!
Liu Rumei also nodded secretly. "Does Your Highness the Crown Prince know if there was anything strange about this man before his death?"
Mo Litian sighed and shook his head. "When I rushed there, this man was already dead!"
Even though he was quick - witted, he only managed to cut one rope in time. However, the huge pulling force still broke his tibia. He was still one step too late.
"However, Xue Zhan was also there. Maybe he knows something!"
Liu Rumei raised her eyebrows. Xue Zhan was always afraid of corpses. Why would he be at the execution ground?
Mo Liandi said leisurely, "Xue Zhan is the magistrate of the capital. It's inevitable for him to be in such a scene!"
Liu Rumei shook her head helplessly. It was really difficult for him.
Soon, Mo Litian sent someone to bring Xue Zhan here.
When Xue Zhan saw Liu Rumei in the room, his eyes lit up. "Miss Liu, long time no see. How have you been recently? As the saying goes, a day apart seems like three autumns. My longing for Miss Liu is like the surging river..."
Hearing this, a look of displeasure flashed across Mo Liandi's face. He said coldly, "What was unusual when Qi Zhenyu died?"
Only then did Xue Zhan notice that Qi Zhenyu's corpse was also here. His face suddenly sank and he quickly turned away. In his mind, he recalled Qi Zhenyu's strange expression before his death. "He was very calm, as if he didn't care about anything. His eyes were very empty."
It was the first time he had seen such a person. If he didn't know Qi Zhenyu's character, he would really have believed that he was not afraid of death.
At this time, the imperial physician invited by Mo Litian also gave an answer. "This silver needle can make a person lose all senses! Completely turn them into a useless person!"
Xue Zhan frowned slightly. "This makes some sense!"
No wonder Qi Zhenyu had looked calm and his eyes had been empty during the execution. It turned out that someone had already tampered with him.
Liu Rumei took the tea handed by Mo Liandi and said indifferently, "It seems that there are other reasons for Qi Zhenyu's case! Maybe he knew something, which is why that person did this."
However, at this time, the imperial physician said again, "This silver needle belongs to Imperial Physician Song!"
Hearing this, all three of them were shocked. Liu Rumei frowned and asked, "How do you know?"
The imperial physician bowed to the three of them and said respectfully, "Only Imperial Physician Song knows this acupuncture technique."
After saying that, he picked up the silver needle again. "There are some friction marks on the end of this silver needle. This is Imperial Physician Song's unique mark! The silver needles of the people in the Imperial Hospital are all smooth."
Mo Litian and the other two looked at each other. They immediately made a decision in their hearts. It seemed that if the murderer was not Imperial Physician Song Chang'an, he must be related to this person.
Liu Rumei said softly, "This matter is really related to Concubine Xiao's case!"
Mo Litian also nodded. "In this case, his next target should also be someone related to this matter!"
However, there were many people involved in this matter, so it was not easy to guess for a while.
A hint of mockery flashed in Mo Liandi's eyes. "I didn't expect that this person was actually hiding in the palace!"
A cold light also flashed in Mo Litian's eyes. This person was extremely cunning. He dared to kill people in broad daylight! He was really hateful!
"In this case, the fire in the Imperial Hospital must be related to him!"
Liu Rumei also nodded. "Maybe the fire in the Imperial Hospital was to hide something!"
Mo Litian obviously also thought of this. "I'll send someone to investigate right away!"
However, a fire had almost destroyed everything. How easy was it to find clues?
Then, Mo Litian bowed to Mo Liandi again. "There's another thing that I need the help of the prince!"
Mo Liandi understood his thoughts without much thinking. The corner of his mouth curled up in a mockery. "I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
He was also a little curious about how the left leg of the corpse had disappeared!
Seeing this, Mo Litian bowed to Mo Liandi again. "Thank you."
"I'm not helping you!" If it weren't for Liu Liu being involved, he would never have helped!
If the murderer regarded Mo Yun as the next target, maybe he would even help.
Mo Litian's expression paused slightly and he didn't say anything more.
Liu Rumei told them all the discoveries she had made this morning. Knowing that there was a mechanism in Zilanxuan, even Mo Litian was shocked.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Mo Litian hesitated for a moment and said gently, "Miss Liu might as well stay in the East Palace tonight. In case something sudden happens, you don't have to rush back and forth!"
It was already an offense to invite her in the middle of the night yesterday. He hoped that tonight would pass safely.
Before Liu Rumei could say much, Mo Liandi flatly refused, "No!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Mo Litian's eyes. How could he not know his thoughts? He suddenly provoked, "What, is the prince afraid?"
Mo Liandi was indeed afraid. Although he was sure that he had a place in Liu Rumei's heart, she refused to admit it for the time being. If something unexpected happened, he would be in for a lot of trouble.
This sprout must be strangled early.
Seeing the two of them confront each other, Liu Rumei was also speechless. She frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll stay in Zilanxuan tonight!"
