"The reason why the assassin knows your whereabouts must be because there is someone around you who knows your whereabouts, right?" Mao Xiang said patiently.
"Yes!" Zhu Shanglie said, "But if it's not the catering supervisor, then it can only be the people around Gu. Today, Gu is leaving the palace temporarily. Before leaving the palace, he told Wang Wei and the people on the catering supervisor not to prepare for Gu.
"You need to pay for the meal before you go out with your trusted guards." As he spoke, his eyes widened suddenly, "Are you suspecting the people around Gu at that time? But they are all dead?"
"If I are a thief, when I assassinate you, my lord, I will kill you together with your inner lord. Because if everyone dies, it will be doubtful whether your inner lord is alive or not!" Mao Xiang continued, "Don't you think so?"
"How dare you!" Gao Zhi, who had always looked dull, drew his knife with a ferocious expression, "My son is dying right next to the prince!" he roared, his eyes red, and he roared, "Do you doubt my son?"
"The matter has not been clarified, and everyone is suspected!" Mao Xiang said coldly.
"I'll kill you!"
"No, no, no!" Lin Zongde quickly hugged Gao Zhi and said to Mao Xiang, "We don't understand what you said at all, but since the prince believes in you, then we will do as you say and find the left-handed murderer.
no?"
Mao Xiang nodded, "Yes!"
Wang Weiren thought about it, "But there are so many people in the palace?"
"Although there are many people in the palace, not everyone has the opportunity to touch iron tools!" Mao Xiang sighed slightly.
Yes, although there were many slaves and eunuchs in the Qin Palace, not everyone had access to iron tools, especially things like axes.
"Not everyone can leave the palace at will and go outside the west gate!" Mao Xiang said again, "Think about it, for those who can leave the palace at will and still carry iron weapons, will their goals be narrowed?"
Shan Dejing nodded and said, "That makes sense. The Za family will go investigate now!"
~~~
Now that the next step has been agreed upon, action must be taken immediately.
After Mao Xiang withdrew from King Qin's palace, he quickly found a secluded place and blew the wind to calm the fire in his heart.
"Fortunately, I fooled them into confusion! I fooled myself into confusion!"
Thinking in his mind, he picked off a few branches and leaves and rubbed them vigorously in his hands.
Then he fell into deep thought again, "If you try to cover up the obvious, you are superfluous. This case is really clueless!"
In fact, he was just talking nonsense.
He is blue-eyed and only believes in one principle. Before the truth is found out, everyone is suspected. So no matter who he is, he will not tell the truth. Of course, there are two exceptions, one is the Supreme Emperor and the other is the Emperor.
At this time, Wang Weiren came from behind and said, "Your Majesty asked the Miscellaneous Family to obey your orders, what's next for you?"
"Take me to Liu Baoer's room!" Mao Xiang said.
"Didn't you say that Liu Baoer was not an internal agent?" Wang Weiren said confusedly.
"I said he is not a dead body, but I am saying that maybe he is, and maybe he is not!" Mao Xiang said.
"Then what kind of loopy fart are you farting?" Wang Weiren cursed in his heart, but still smiled on his face, "This way, please!"
Wang Wei led the way, and Mao Xiang followed. As he walked, he paid attention to the scene of Prince Qin's palace.
Gradually his face became ugly.
"The Palace of Qin is even more beautiful than the Forbidden City!" Wherever Mao Xiang looked, he could see no spots in the palace. Even the courtyard where the eunuchs and servants lived was bright and beautiful.
The vermilion paint on many pillars looks freshly painted at first glance.
In the Forbidden City, many courtyards have not been repaired for a long time. Every time an official said that they needed to paint and replace the tiles, the old prince always said that it would be three years for the new and three years for the old, and another three years for repairs. After I ascended the throne, there was no major civil engineering work.
, it just renovated Lezhizhai and the Queen's residence.
"We're here!" After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wang Weiren stopped in front of a small, low house, "The second one on the left!"
"Thank you!" Mao Xiang said lightly, strode forward, and then opened the door directly and went in.
~~
clean!
This was Mao Xiang's first impression.
The eunuchs in the palace have strict hygiene standards because they work in front of their masters.
But few people can keep the house as spotless as Liu Baoer.
The room is very simple, with a wardrobe against the wall, a bed with a mosquito net, the quilt on the bed is folded like tofu, and there are no wrinkles on the sheets.
Mao Xiang stepped into the room and looked around.
Liu Baoer is not only a clean person, but also a motivated person. On the only table in his room, there are actually several books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Mao Xiang opened it and took a look. He saw the Three-Character Classic of Hundred Family Surnames and several pieces of paper on which he had practiced calligraphy. Although the handwriting on the paper was not pretty, it was obvious that the writer had tried his best to make them neat and tidy.
There are also several pots of orchids in the corner of the house.
Mao Xiang's thick joints knocked on the table a few times.
Then he looked outside and saw Wang Weiren standing far away, so he picked up a pen and paper and started writing.
"Liu Baoer disappeared."
"A body was found outside the west gate of the palace."
"The body is not Liu Baoer!"
"It is inferred that the corpse outside the palace may not be someone from the palace, and the murderer may not be someone from the palace."
"How stupid is it to take people out of the palace, kill them and throw them into the ditch?"
"But it would be much simpler if a message was sent out from the palace and someone killed someone outside and deliberately dumped the body in the ditch of the palace."
These are Mao Xiang’s inner thoughts.
Investigate the case, investigate the case, only the clues can be found by investigating the case.
And the clues that come to your door are never true.
He continued to write, "The assassination of King Qin had been planned for a long time. In a hurry, the assassin could not have taken possession of a shop. Someone should have deliberately led King Qin in that direction, so that King Qin had the opportunity to see that shop and eat there.

"So, let's find out whether anyone said anything about the liveliness there before King Qin left the palace."
"The King of Qin left the palace on a temporary basis, but someone must have told him several times that there was a lot of excitement outside, so he had this idea!"
"Find out whether there are any other missing persons in the palace besides Liu Baoer. Find out and verify the list of people who left the palace within a month and where they went."
"There are still crossbow arrows used by assassins in Gao Yong's body. This is key evidence."
"It is true that the murderer is left-handed, but the murderer should not be from the palace. Now that the palace is thoroughly investigating left-handedness, the secret assassin will definitely follow this idea and create various illusions."
"Perhaps some lefty committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
As he wrote, Mao Xiang's expression was solemn and filled with appreciation.
"The thief must be a person who is far more sophisticated and intelligent than ordinary people, and the person behind the assassin must not be an ordinary person."
"Assassin, crossbow, internal response!"
As he wrote, Mao Xiang's hand paused and he wrote a few large characters, "White Lotus Sect!"
"Check thoroughly to see if there are demons who believe in the White Lotus Sect in the palace! Not only the White Lotus Sect, but anyone who believes in Buddhism and immortality must not be spared!"
After finishing writing, put pen to paper and look out the window again.
Then he took out the flint from his arms and lit it, watching the paper with the words on it being swallowed up by the blue flames and turned into ashes. Then he swept the ashes into the flower pot.
Suddenly, just when Mao Xiang was about to go out, he suddenly turned back.
Opening the desk drawer, there were a lot of miscellaneous items inside. After rummaging through it twice, Mao Xiang's eyes became extremely sharp.
A jade pendant inlaid with gold and jade appeared in his palm.
He raised it in front of his eyes, and while looking at it, he thought to himself, "Where did a little eunuch from Shanfang get the jade pendant?"
