Volume Four: The Case of Dust in the Mirror Chapter Ninety-Nine: Calculations
Half an hour later, Duan Minggang took a nice bath and changed into clean clothes. He was about to lie down for a while when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Opening the door, there was a servant standing outside: "Mr. Duan, sir, miss, please come over and have dinner with me."
"Okay." Duan Ming nodded and went to the main hall with the servant.
At this moment, King Jing'an and Li Waner were sitting in the main hall, waiting.
"Mr. Duan, you're here." Li Waner stood up hurriedly when she saw Duan Ming.
"I have met King Jing'an and Princess Wan'er." Duan Ming said with a slight salute to the two of them.
"You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Duan, please take a seat." King Jing'an pointed to the seat next to him and said: "Wan'er has already told me that I was taken care of by Mr. Duan at Fanxing Temple and Linyang City before. I am very grateful.
."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. It's Princess Wan'er who takes care of me." Duan Ming said after sitting down.
"By the way, I would like to thank Mr. Duan for Lao Chu's matter. If Mr. Duan hadn't helped that elm-headed man, he would have fallen into a trap." King Jing'an sighed: "But it's a pity that Mr. Meng told me that he
That person was not found.”
"Actually, I have a vague suspicion about that person." Duan Ming said: "Linyang City was under martial law at that time, and it was not easy for that person to leave, so that person should still be in the city at that time."
"But there are not many people in the city who have such ability and can be praised by Marquis Chu."
"One is Song Yi, the captain of the city defense department who was demoted to Linyang, and the other is Qingshan of the Immortality Sect."
"But as far as I know, Song Yi is not at peace with the Changsheng Sect, so there is absolutely no need to do this."
"So, that person is most likely Qingshan."
"But if this is the case, how can Qingshan dare to show his face?" King Jing'an said solemnly: "Aren't you afraid of being caught by Lao Chu?"
"I also have a bold guess about this." Duan Ming said solemnly: "Why does that shop selling heads in the ghost market buy so many heads?"
"Judging from their layout, they are not using human heads for medical research."
"Then there is only one possibility, making a human face mask."
"However, although the human face mask is ingenious, it is not easy to store."
"So that store preserves the entire face by preserving the entire head, and then skins it until the person who needs it needs it."
"And Qingshan should have been wearing a human face mask when he went to find Chu Hou."
"But these are just your guesses." After pondering for a moment, King Jing'an said.
"That's right, so I didn't say it at the time, because it was just a guess without any evidence." Duan Ming sighed: "The human face mask must have been destroyed, and the people in the shop have also escaped. Even if I said it, there would be no evidence.
Any effect."
"Well, you are very smart." King Jing'an nodded: "For an existence like the Immortality Sect, if you can't kill it directly, don't do it easily, otherwise there will be no benefit except getting revenge from it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice." Duan Ming said.
"By the way, Dad." Li Waner said to King Jing'an: "You also know that I invited Mr. Duan here for Brother Xing's case. Can you tell Mr. Duan what's going on?"
"It's rare for Mr. Duan to come to Kyoto. Wan'er, you have to treat him well. Let's take Mr. Duan around starting tomorrow." King Jing'an did not answer Li Waner.
"Dad!" Li Waner called.
"Okay, let's eat." King Jing'an interrupted, then he pondered for a moment and said: "Xing Qianqiu's case is unusual. Don't involve yourself and Mr. Duan, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Duan Ming said before Li Waner could speak again.
"Okay." Li Waner looked at King Jing'an, then at Duan Ming, and sighed.
Soon, the three of them finished their meal, and King Jing'an left first, leaving only Duan Ming and Li Waner in the hall.
"I don't understand why Dad still refuses to tell me. Do we have to wait for Brother Xing to be beheaded?" Li Waner pouted.
"It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he can't say it." Duan Ming thought for a moment and then said, "If I guessed correctly, this matter should be related to the royal family."
"What do you mean?" Li Waner looked at Duan Ming.
"There are very few things in the world that King Jing'an cannot say, and the most likely thing among them is related to the royal family." Duan Ming said: "And..."
"And what?" Li Waner looked at Duan Ming doubtfully.
"Moreover, damn, I've been tricked again!" Duan Ming gritted his teeth: "These people are all old foxes!"
"What's wrong?" Li Waner became even more confused.
"It's like this. Just before you came to me, a person just came to me." Duan Ming took a deep breath: "The captain of the city defense department of Linyang City - Song Yi!"
"I didn't understand at the time why he was looking for me. But when we met, he just told me a story." Duan Ming said solemnly: "You know why Song Yi, no, Song Rengui was demoted to Lin
Yangcheng?"
"Song Rengui? It's him?" Li Waner said, "No wonder he looks familiar to me."
"Have you seen it? Oh, by the way, you used to go to the palace often, so it is normal to see the commander of the Imperial City Department." Duan Ming suddenly understood.
"Yeah, but Song Rengui is usually as taciturn as an iceberg." Li Waner said, "I rarely see him, so I didn't recognize him."
"Taciturn? There are indeed some." Duan Ming nodded: "When he met me, he just handed me a jade pendant and told me that if I had the opportunity to come to the capital, if I encountered something that couldn't be solved, I would bring it with me.
Mei Yupei went to the Imperial City Division to find a man named Yu Chen."
"Imperial City Department?" Li Waner was a little surprised: "How can you find the Imperial City Department?"
"Yes, I was quite confused at the time." Duan Ming sighed: "But I thought it would be useless if I gave it to you for nothing, so I accepted it."
"Now it seems that the person surnamed Song must have known about Xing Qianqiu, guessed that I would definitely come here, and also guessed that I would not be able to find out what happened."
"That's why you gave me the jade pendant to help me solve the case!"
"Maybe." Duan Ming gritted his teeth and said, "There is also a plan of Xing Qiandao in this!"
"This..." Li Waner was suddenly speechless.
"Forget it." Duan Ming slowly stood up and exhaled a long breath: "No matter what the reason is, I am determined to wade through this muddy water!"
"Then what should we do?" Li Waner asked.
"It's very simple. Let's go to the Mirror Division tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the Imperial City Division!" Duan Ming said solemnly!
