After a while, everyone finally arrived in front of the mansion on the top of the mountain.
The surroundings of the mansion are currently guarded by soldiers, and all entrances and exits are sealed with seals.
It can be seen that Niu Bi's protection of the murder scene is quite good.
"Brother Mu, do you think we should go in now, or go back first and come over tomorrow morning."
Seeing that it was getting late, Niu Bi asked Muchuan what he meant.
Muchuan also raised his head and glanced at the sky. The sky was indeed a little dark, but it was not because the sun had set, but because of the dark clouds blocking the sun.
Muchuan knew very well that looking at this posture, who knew when it would start pouring rain again.
The previous heavy rain should have almost destroyed the traces of the scene. If it rains again, Muchuan's trip will really be in vain.
Therefore, Muchuan naturally rejected the option of going back and insisted on going in now.
Niu Bi did not dare to neglect and quickly ordered his men to open the door of the mansion.
The seal is removed and the door is opened.
Everything in the mansion comes into view.
The interior is clean, except for some fallen leaves blown by the wind, there is nothing trivial.
Muchuan stepped in and looked at the surrounding environment as he walked.
From the outside, nothing strange can be seen.
Walking to a side room, Muchuan turned back and looked at Niu Bi.
Niu Bi understood the idea and quickly took off the seal and opened the door.
This seemed to be a room where the servants of the mansion lived. As soon as the door was opened, a sour smell of poverty hit the face.
Muchuan didn't care about the smell, he was just carefully observing the situation inside.
There are very few furnishings in the house, except for many earthen beds, a few large cabinets and several large wooden boxes.
Muchuan opened these cabinets and wooden boxes, only to find that they were filled with all kinds of clothes, even letters and private money.
This discovery made Muchuan a little confused.
It can be seen that these servants seemed to have left in a hurry and did not take anything with them.
Is it possible that the rumors are true, that there is really something evil in this house that swallowed up all the living people in one night?
Muchuan thought of this possibility inexplicably and couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back.
Di Renjie also came over. After reading these things, like Muchuan, his face was full of confusion and surprise.
"Master, this matter may be more complicated than we think."
Di Renjie couldn't help but said.
Muchuan nodded and walked outside the house, "Let's take a look again."
This room alone can't explain much. We still need to look at it more, what if we discover something new?
Afterwards, Muchuan looked at all the surrounding rooms.
These rooms are similar, they are all servants' rooms, but the difference is that two of them are rooms for maids and maids.
Muchuan was so sure because he found a woman's underwear in the cabinet, which even had a slight fragrance.
After going around these rooms, Muchuan's face was already quite ugly.
If this is the case in only one room, it can be explained that those people did not take these common things with them when they moved.
But the problem is that every room is like this, so it cannot be explained by this reason. It is really far-fetched.
"Brother Niu, is there really no secret passage here?"
Muchuan couldn't help but ask.
Niu Bi shook his head helplessly, "We only had to dig three feet into the ground, but we didn't find any secret passage."
There is no doubt about the execution ability of the army. Muchuan knew very well that since Niu Bidu said so, even if he asked them to search again, it would be a useless effort.
As for whether there is a secret passage, there are two possibilities.
First, there is a secret passage, but it cannot be speculated based on common sense, so the army cannot find it.
Second, there is no secret passage at all.
If it was the second possibility, then Muchuan would have no idea how to explain the bizarre events that happened here.
The entire mansion disappeared out of thin air overnight. This was a completely supernatural event!
Now, Muchuan can only firmly believe in the first possibility, no matter how tiny this possibility is.
"Let's look further forward."
After leaving this side courtyard, Muchuan and his party came to the next courtyard.
This yard seems to be a warehouse or something, with several doors opened one after another, and there are some daily utensils and various raw grains placed inside.
Seeing that there was so much food here, Mu Yingchen couldn't help but mutter, "People are dead, why don't you distribute this food to the people?"
Although Xiaoying was muttering in a low voice, Muchuan still listened carefully despite his sharp ears.
He looked at Xiaoying and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid if all the food is rotten here, it won't be distributed to the people."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yingchen was puzzled.
She couldn't understand why the army would rather let the food rot in the warehouse than move it out.
Even if you don't feed it to the people, you can still eat it yourself, so that you won't waste food.
Muchuan naturally knew the reason.
Before the murder case of Li Chengqian is solved, nothing in this mansion is allowed to be moved, otherwise it will be a serious crime of losing one's head!
The former prince was murdered. This kind of case is quite serious.
Not to mention some food, if many people died in this mansion, even those corpses would not be able to be buried!
Of course, Li Chengqian's body had been moved to an icehouse for preservation long ago.
After becoming a majestic emperor, his body would not be allowed to rot.
There was nothing unusual in the warehouse, and everyone did not stay too long, and quickly went to another courtyard.
This is the kitchen and dining room.
In the kitchen, several iron pots were placed on the stove. Dark things were boiling in the pots, and the stove was also full of black ash.
Obviously, the cook was cooking in the pot, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and didn't even have time to put out the fire.
This discovery filled a case that was already full of doubts with endless mystery.
Even though Di Renjie had a strong detective talent, his face was flushed with anxiety at this moment, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
Just when Di Renjie's head was about to smoke with his thoughts, Muchuan suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Muchuan.
Muchuan shook his head and said calmly: "Huaiying, remember, never be anxious. Being anxious will affect your judgment."
After hearing this, Di Renjie felt as if he had been enlightened, and his mood suddenly became much cooler.
Yes, the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to find a way to solve the case.
Di Renjie nodded heavily towards Muchuan, and his expression calmed down again.
There must be some missing clues, there must be them!
