When Meng Tianluo saw Zhao Ling leaving and returning, a smile appeared on his normally gloomy face. It was a smug smile. ~Humph, Meng Yuan wanted to fight him, but he was still a little tender than normal~

He appeared to be like the ghost of King Luo with the smug smile on his face.

Seeing the sinister look on his smiling face, Zhao Ling secretly cursed shamelessly.

This Meng Tianluo wanted to embarrass her from time to time, but he should have come to target Meng Yuan. Could it be that he had some grudges against Meng Yuan?

"This king is here to introduce to the future Princess Xuan, Mr. Lu, the minister of Justice." Meng Tianluo's gloomy and hoarse voice sounded in the hall.

Zhao Ling glanced at Lu Ziqing and saw that he was also looking at her, so she bowed to him and said, "I have seen Lord Lu."

In front of Meng Tianluo, she thought it would be better to pretend not to know Lu Ziqing.

Lu Ziqing was not stupid, he naturally knows how to answer the question, so he bowed to her and said, "In the next Lu Ziqing, I have long admired the name of Princess Xuan."

Now the streets of Shengjing were full of rumors of how omnipotent Princess Xuan was, wasn't she a famous name for a long time? Zhao Ling's mouth twitched, feeling very helpless.

Meng Tianluo didn't know the interaction between the two, he stood up and said to the two, "Presumably, the future Princess Xuan also knows the reason why this king invited you to come, it's not too late, let's go to the crime scene and see. ."

The crime scene was in a remote lotus pond north of the Royal Garden. Zhao Ling followed Lu Ziqing to the scene.

The Imperial Forest Army had surrounded the scene for several miles, and unrelated personnel were not allowed to enter or leave at will.

Zhao Ling followed Meng Tianluo and Lu Ziqing into the encirclement of the Imperial Forest Army, and all the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army were dumbfounded.

How could this beautiful beauty like flowers enter such a dirty and filthy place? It was said that the corpse of the palace maid was extremely terrifying, and even they dare not look closely. They hoped this beauty would not collapse from fright after waiting.

Of course Zhao Ling didn't notice the surprised expressions of these sergeants. As soon as she walked into the scene of the crime, she started the work mode, and the people around exuded a strange look.

How long had it been since an autopsy was performed by her? She felt like her scalpel was rusting due to lack of use.

Looking at the body of the palace maid, she saw that it was placed on the bank of the lotus pond, covered with a layer of white cloth.

Zhao Ling approached the corpse, squatted down and lifted the white cloth covering it. A strong smell of blood rushed to her face, Zhao Ling couldn't help frowning, and scolded Meng Tianluo in her heart.

It was not too early to ask her to help investigate the case, but at least she could prepare have prepared for it, and bring a pair of masks and gloves.

Just as she was thinking about it, a white cotton mask was handed over beside her. She looked up and saw Lu Ziqing's unnatural expression.

She raised her eyebrows, nodded at his foresight, and put the mask on her face conveniently.

This Lu Ziqing seemed to be accustomed to the things she had shown him in the past, only the gloves were missing. Even the little things were considered. Yes, people could be taught.

Wearing the mask, she continued to examine the body.

Due to being soaked in the lotus pond, the corpse was slightly swollen, and the state of death was indeed terrifying. The entire head was cut off along the neck, and five bloody words were engraved on the shirtless chest.

GIVE ME BACK MY LIFE. 

It looked especially shocking under the white skin print.

Lu Ziqing always thought that he was brave, but when he saw the corpse in front of him, he still felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Ling, who was looking at the corpse with her eyebrows knitted slightly together.

Was this Zhao Ling a woman? No, was she a human?

And Meng Tianluo, after smelling the bloody scent, retreated far away from the encirclement of the Imperial Forest Army. Seeing Zhao Ling squatting beside the corpse with a focused look on her face, an eye-catching light radiated from his whole body for no reason. His heart suddenly throbbed, and skipped a beat for no reason.

Since she was not wearing gloves, Zhao Ling didn't flip over the corpse at will. "According to a preliminary inspection, the time of death should be around today's Early Hours. The deceased's head was cut by a sharp weapon, and the words on her chest should have been pierced with an embroidery needle or a silver needle. But The cause of death of the deceased, as well as whether her head was cut during her lifetime or after her death, and whether these words were stabbed during her lifetime or after her death, will not be known until further autopsy."

Zhao Ling stood up, took off his mask, and told Lu Ziqing what he found.

Lu Ziqing nodded and instructed the people of the Department of Justice to transport the body to the morgue of the Department of Justice to wait for Zhao Ling's further autopsy.

Turning around, he found that Zhao Ling had already started a careful search along the lotus pond, so he also stepped up.

"Did Master Lu find out the identity of this palace maid?" Zhao Ling asked Lu Ziqing while carefully examining the footprints by the pool and the surrounding vegetation.

Lu Ziqing shook his head, "Because the head hasn't been found yet, and there are too many women in the palace, we haven't found out yet."

The footprints by the pool were a little messy, probably because the Imperial Forest Army salvaged the body just now. The two walked around the pool slowly. On a verdant branch, Zhao Ling found a small piece of black cloth.

After examining it carefully, Lu Ziqing said, "It should be from night clothes."

"En." Zhao Ling nodded in agreement.

However, at that moment, Zhao Ling seemed to smell a faint aroma.
