From the clues he found, it can be seen that after the murderer designed to kill the princess, he secretly got the body to the swamp, trying to make the illusion that the princess was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

And the breakthrough point of this case is the matter of the swamp viper, who first said it?

If this is what Lingji said, then Lingji is likely to be the murderer. However, if Lingji is the murderer, how did she get the princess's body to the swamp?

She was a weak woman, and it was absolutely impossible for her to throw the body so far. What's more, she has been pretending to be a princess in the shrine, and she doesn't have enough time to throw her body.

A series of mysteries appeared in Li Canghai's heart, and after thinking about it, he decided to talk to Lingji.

Lingji was held in a small house, guarded by a guard at the door.

The guard knew that he was friendly with Conan, so he didn't embarrass him, and after Li Canghai explained his intentions, the guard pushed the door and let him in.

Inside the room, a candle emits a dim glow, and the flame flickers and seems to be extinguished at any moment.

Lingji sat by the candle and sobbed incessantly.

Seeing Li Canghai coming in, she hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Canghai in a restrained manner.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Ling, I came here because I want to ask you something." Li Canghai said.

Lingji lowered her head and said, "Childe, please ask, the slave and maid will definitely tell the truth." ”

Li Canghai nodded, pointed to the stool, smiled gently, and said, "Miss Ling, don't be nervous, let's sit down and talk." ”

Lingji looked at Li Canghai and hesitated. He sat down stiffly.

"Spirit girl, when did the princess leave the shrine?" Li Canghai asked.

Lingji bit her lip. He whispered, "After dinner yesterday." ”

"When the princess left, was there no guard to stop her?" Li Canghai asked.

Lingji shook her head. said: "When the princess left, Yebijun was sleeping, and the fat guard didn't know where to go, so the princess left without being discovered. ”

Speaking of this, Lingji suddenly burst into tears and asked, "May I ask sir, why did the princess die?" ”

Li Canghai sighed and said, "The princess's body was found in the swamp east of the shrine, presumably when the princess was looking for Epiphany. Attacked by a venomous snake, resulting in poisoning and death. ”

Lingji sighed, and she said in surprise: "How can this be? Princess...... How could you be poisoned and die! ”

Li Canghai looked at her and sighed: "It can only be said that the sky is jealous, but then again, if the princess was not too willful, she would not have suffered such a catastrophe." ”

Lingji burst into tears, and she cried, "It's all the slaves who hurt the princess." If it weren't for the slave maid who introduced Zhang Da to the princess, the princess would not have thought of picking the epiphyllum flowers, the slave and maid were guilty, and the slave maid deserved death. Whining....... ”

Lingji cried with sorrow and sorrow. It's as if all the blame is on oneself. It really makes the listener sad and the listener tears.

The corners of Li Canghai's mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. Then it was restored to its original state.

"Miss Ling, I heard that you have been with the princess for many years? Can you tell me about it? What kind of person is the princess in your eyes? ”

Lingji was stunned, and she shook her head. He whispered, "The slave doesn't dare to ......." ”

Li Canghai smiled and said, "It's okay, there are only you and me here, and others won't know about it, I'm just a little curious." What's more, the princess is no longer here, and no one will say that you are disrespectful. ”

Lingji hesitated, as if she was pondering something, and after a long while, she spoke: "I have followed the princess since I was a child, and in my opinion, the princess is sexual, delicate, and even ...... Some are incomprehensible. ”

"Where do you start?" Li Canghai asked in surprise.

Lingji looked left and right and said, "The princess is moody, it is difficult to guess her mind, and she has extremely strict requirements for her appearance, and any way to become beautiful will not be easily given up. When she was in Toei, the princess heard that pearl powder could whiten her skin, so she smashed the Kaidong pearl that His Majesty the Emperor had treasured into powder. ”

Li Canghai touched his chin and said puzzledly: "Isn't the princess afraid that those methods will have side effects?" ”

Ling Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Sir doesn't know, the princess has countless maids around her. Each time she was given a method, the princess had to ask her maid to test the medicine. Pity many good-looking maids, who were disfigured by the test ...... medicine. ”

Speaking of this, Lingji paused, her face turned a little blue, as if she thought of some picture, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Could it be that Miss Ling also tried medicine for the princess?" Li Canghai carefully observed Ling Ji, kept all her expressions in his heart, and said casually.

Lingji bit her lip and said, "Lingji was originally a lowly slave, but she was lucky enough not to die and became the princess's maid, and the princess said how to behave herself." ”

Li Canghai saw that her eyes were full of grievances, so he comforted her and said, "Miss Ling seems to be very concerned about her origin? In fact, the girl does not need to be so indignant, according to the girl's appearance, she will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future and get rid of her slave status. ”

Lingji smiled bitterly a few times and said: "Sir, don't comfort the slave maid, the slave and maid know a sentence deeply, called 'It's better to marry than to marry, and it's better to marry than to be born', Lingji was from a humble background, which is a fact that can't be changed no matter what." ”

Li Canghai smiled and said, "Why does the girl think so? ”

Lingji hesitated and said, "Sir, forgive the slave and maid for offending, I want to ask you a question." ”

Li Canghai nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

Lingji lowered her head and pondered for a while, and said, "According to Mr., if you talk about appearance, how about me and the princess?" ”

Li Canghai was stunned, he didn't expect Ling Ji to ask this question.

After thinking about it, Li Canghai said: "The spirit girl has the beauty of Lingxiu, and the princess has the beauty of everyone's beauty, each with its own merits, on par. ”

Ling Ji laughed a few times, her face was slightly disappointed, and said, "I'm afraid that Mr. will answer like this in his mouth, but not in his heart, right?" ”

Li Canghai remained silent and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Lingji smiled and said, "The gentleman said that I am on par with the princess, but I am afraid that in my heart, I am just a slave, and I dare to compare with the princess, right?" ”

"The difference between Miss Ling's words, I did not despise it because of the identity of Miss Ling." Li Canghai said.

Lingji smiled at him gratefully and said, "Actually, I know that my appearance is not as good as that of the princess, but it is not inferior, right?" However, the princess was born in an imperial family, and her whole body was silk and satin, and she was bejeweled. In the palace, the stars hold the moon, and there are thousands of people chasing outside. What does Mr. think will happen to the princess after marrying the Tang King? (To be continued.) )
