Volume 4: The Case of Dust in the Mirror

As Li Waner walked into the prison, Duan Ming took a deep breath.

This familiar smell, this familiar feeling, Duan Ming felt as if he was home.

Having said this, Duan Ming felt a little bit resentful towards Xing Qianqiu again.

It was this man who decorated the prison in Linyang City to look like a hotel. Duan Ming always felt as if he had strayed off track every time he went back.

Continuing along the dark corridor, we soon reached the deepest part.

"You?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming and Li Waner who walked in, and frowned slightly: "Why did you get in?"

"Hey, tell me." Duan Ming sighed: "What happened this time? Why are you being tricked?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you!" Xing Qianqiu said solemnly: "Mr. Duan, you rush back to Linyang City immediately. Wan'er, you too, don't get involved anymore."

"Sorry, we have already gotten involved." Duan Ming sighed: "Princess Wan'er barged in in order to, um, show off her power."

"..." Xing Qianqiu gritted his teeth: "It's okay, Wan'er is the princess after all, and she is deeply loved by Your Majesty and the Queen. Your Majesty will not punish her too much. But you..."

"Mr. Duan, listen to my advice. I have been investigating this matter since I came back from Linyang City, but so far I have gained very little." Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming and said: "So, Mr. Duan, you

Never get involved."

"Joke." Duan Ming smiled and shook his head: "Old Xing, which of these strange and major cases did I not help you solve? Just because you can't find the clues, doesn't mean I can't find them either."

"Mr. Duan, I'm not kidding you anymore!" Xing Qianqiu shouted, picked up a straw from the ground and put it on Duan Ming's neck: "Mr. Duan, please leave immediately!"

"Haha!" Looking at the straw on his neck, Duan Ming smiled softly: "Xing Qiandao, if you don't want to tell me, I will investigate it myself. If you can't solve the case, I will solve it.

Got it!"

"Don't forget!" Duan Ming pulled the straw off his neck and said in a deep voice, "I am the lame sixth man in Nancheng!"

"That's right, Brother Xing, please believe in Mr. Duan! He will definitely restore your innocence!" Li Waner also said.

"Oh... that's all..." Xing Qianqiu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Duan, aren't you unwilling to get involved in these things? Why this time..."

"Do you think I'm doing it for you?" Duan took a look at Xing Qianqiu and said, "You know, I have now fallen into the eyes of the Immortal Cult. The reason why the Immortal Cult doesn't deal with me is because of my relationship with you, Xing Qianqiu."

"If you Xing Qianqiu dies, won't the Immortality Cult have no burden if they want to kill me?"

"Haha..." Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming seriously: "No matter what you say, no matter whether you can prove my innocence, Mr. Duan, Xing Xing has recorded this love."

"Okay, okay, in this case, let's talk quickly. What is going on?" Duan Ming said.

"It's like this. When we cracked the Hundred Ghost Night Case and were about to leave Linyang City, Captain Song found me and told me many details." Xing Qianqiu said: "Back then in the Imperial City Division

When I was looking for clues about the blood sedan, I found that there were special lines on the blood sedan, but I had never seen this pattern before."

"Furthermore, he investigated the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs around Concubine Shu. But on the day Concubine Shu disappeared, these people were all together, and they could all prove to each other that even if they went out, they would only go out for a very short period of time. It is impossible.

Take Concubine Shu away secretly."

"And according to what the palace maid said, Concubine Shu is usually gentle and kind, and treats her servants very well. She usually stays aloof and has no quarrel with anyone."

"Who was the last person to see Concubine Shu that night?" Duan Ming asked.

"It should be Concubine Shu's maid Ying Tao." Xing Qianqiu said: "I also asked Ying Tao after I came back. According to Ying Tao, Concubine Shu was feeling a little unwell that day, so she went to bed early just after Xu."

"Concubine Shu didn't like anyone in the room when she was sleeping, so after she helped Concubine Shu enter the bed, Cherry left."

"That is to say, after Xu Shi, Concubine Shu will be the only one left in Concubine Shu's palace, right?" Duan Ming nodded.

"That's right." Xing Qianqiu said, "But there are still guards around."

"The guards didn't see anything unusual?" Duan Ming said solemnly.

"I asked one by one, no." Xing Qianqiu sighed.

"So what happened next? What were the characters of the three concubines like?" Duan Ming asked.

"Concubine Ming, Concubine Qing, and Concubine Yang are different from Concubine Shu." Li Waner said: "Concubine Ming is optimistic and cheerful. She likes to play with the servants on weekdays and has a high reputation among the servants; Concubine Qing likes to read.

, she seldom goes out on weekdays, and spends most of her time in the palace studying; Concubine Yang has a rather flamboyant personality and is a bit overbearing, so the servants don't like her very much."

"These are quite different personalities." Duan Ming nodded: "His Majesty the Emperor is so lucky, he can meet people of all personalities."

"Mr. Duan, please be careful what you say." Xing Qianqiu said hurriedly: "This place is not like Linyang, so you need to be more careful when speaking."

"Okay, I understand." Duan Ming nodded: "What have you found out about their blood sedans and paper figures?"

"I found nothing." Xing Qianqiu sighed: "Except for the pattern that Captain Song mentioned, I found nothing."

"But the time was too short. I had just started investigating the affairs of the three empresses when Dugu Haoyue set me up," Xing Qianqiu said.

"By the way, this is the most important question." Duan Ming said solemnly: "What is going on with those voodoo villains?"

"I don't know." Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "I rarely go back to my hometown recently, but the few times I went back, I didn't find any traces of the voodoo villain."

"Where was the voodoo villain found?" Duan Ming asked after thinking for a moment.

"According to my understanding, it should be in my bedroom." Xing Qianqiu said.

"Then who can enter your bedroom?" Duan Ming thought: "Who do you suspect could do it?"

"I don't know if most people can enter my bedroom," Xing Qianqiu said.

"The last question." Duan Ming nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is said that Dugu Haoyue received the news, so he took people from the Mirror Department to your residence to search. Do you know whose news it is? Or,

Who do you suspect?"

"..." Xing Qianqiu pondered for a long time, then looked up at Duan Ming: "I suspect that Dugu Haoyue didn't receive the message at all, but that he deliberately designed it for me!"

"I understand." Duan Ming stood up and said in a deep voice: "Xing Qian Dao, don't worry, I will do my best to restore your innocence. If I really can't do it, I will burn paper for you during the holidays..."

Hearing Duan Ming's words, Xing Qianqiu's eyes were extremely strange...
