Chapter 327 (1/2)



327 A major breakthrough in the case (3)

“How did you know that the palace maid was hiding something?” huaiqing asked.

She stared at Xu Qi ‘an with her clear and beautiful eyes. He seemed to be asking for advice, but he couldn’t let go of his face.

He wanted to know more about micro-expression psychology … “A person’s expression and body movements will reveal their inner thoughts to a certain extent,” Xu Qi ‘an said.”They are more honest than their mouths.”

“I’ve never seen a book that records this kind of knowledge,” huaiqing said with a frown.

“This is something I researched on my own,”

Huaiqing slowly nodded, somewhat in admiration.”You’re indeed a genius at solving cases.”

…….. In fact, the most important thing in solving a case was not talent, but experience and knowledge. Without these things, even if you were a genius in reasoning, you would not be able to cross the threshold. “Your Highness, you flatter me,” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.

At this moment, the head of the guards shouted from downstairs, “”Lord Xu, I’ve brought the item.”

Xu Qi ‘an immediately stood up. I’m going to verify one of my guesses. We might find out how Consort Fu died soon.

The three of them went downstairs. Xu Qi ‘an took the broken guardrail from the Guard’s hand and carefully examined the fracture.

He fell into deep thought.

Red skirt and white skirt tacitly did not disturb him.

Even though the pair of small feet under the framed skirt kept stepping on it, showing her anxiety.

Because Xu Qi ‘an had just said that Consort Fu’s death would soon be known. This matter concerned her brother crown prince’s innocence, so she was very anxious.

However, she still didn’t dare to disturb his thoughts.

“Let’s go to the ice cellar. I will trouble eldest Princess to invite a maidservant.” Xu Qi ‘an led everyone out of Qingfeng Palace. Huaiqing ordered the guards outside the palace to get the old lady.

After arriving at the ice cellar, the guards were left behind. Xu Qi ‘an, huaiqing, Lin’ an, as well as the young eunuch and the old nanny who were supervising them, entered the ice cellar and once again saw the body of Consort Fu.

“I’ll have to trouble Momo to remove Consort Fu’s clothes and turn her over.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

The old maidservant was a little hesitant, but when she saw Xu Qi ‘an instinctively turn his back, she looked at Princess huaiqing with a questioning look, not looking at Lin’ an.

“We’ll do as Lord Xu says,” huaiqing nodded.

“I’m done,” the old servant said after a few minutes.

Xu Qi ‘an turned around. Consort Fu was naked and lying on the wooden board. Her pale back was covered with livor mortis, but there was nothing that Xu Qi’ an wanted to see.

“It’s done.” He nodded.

Leaving the ice cellar, they came to the side hall. Lin an asked impatiently, “”How is it? How did Consort Fu die? my brother, the Crown Prince, is innocent.”
