The girls and the boss of Tianxiang Tower were collectively put into prison. These girls were good at singing and dancing. They had to put on exquisite makeup and beautiful dresses every day, and were held in the hands of the rich children. Who has ever experienced this?
crime?
As soon as they saw the cold, damp environment of the dungeon, everyone began to complain: "How can people sleep in such a dirty place?" "That's right, there isn't even a bed." "The assassin has nothing to do with us, tell Mr. Yu, hurry up
Let us go!"
The officer responsible for guarding them became impatient and shouted angrily: "Shut up! There is an assassin in your Tianxiang Tower. If the prince is angry, all of you will be beheaded! How dare you pick and choose the dungeon? The dungeon
This is not a place for you to sing and dance - please be honest, you guys, get in here!"
The man was burly and had a loud voice. The girls turned pale with fright and closed their mouths, not daring to say anything.
Ye Qi followed the crowd silently.
A total of twelve people were arrested in Tianxiang Tower, four to a room, and locked in three cells.
The conditions in the dungeon were indeed very poor. There were no beds, and the floor was covered with messy hay. There was also the sound of mice in the corner. A fat mouse passed by, causing several girls to scream in panic, and some people took off their shoes to fight.
Rat, there is chaos in the cell.
Ye Qi sat in the corner, thinking seriously about what happened to Jin.
He had previously received S-level evaluations in 2 of Hearts, 3 of Hearts, and 4 of Hearts. In the following levels 5/6/7, he followed Captain Yu and Professor Xiao to solve cases and learned a lot of reasoning knowledge. He was sure that
The case in this secret room will not be as simple as the assassination of the prince.
At that time, the assassin escaped, and the prince was furious and arrested everyone present in Tianxiang Tower. What happened after that? Who would be the first to die? Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a government servant coming over and said: "Who is Ye
girl?"
Ye Qi stood up: "I am."
The yamen servant smiled and said, "Master Shao is here to see you."
When the girls around heard this, they looked at Ye Qi with envy, jealousy and hatred. Everyone knew that Mr. Shao had spent money to support Miss Ye recently, but they didn't expect that Mr. Shao was so affectionate and righteous that he was willing to come forward when she was in jail.
Come and see her!
Ye Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately followed the yamen servant out.
Outside the door, Shao Qingge stood tall and tall, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking like a playboy, with a smile on his face. Seeing Ye Qi come out, he took out a piece of silver from his wallet and stuffed it.
To the yamen servant: "Thank you for your work."
The yamen servant happily accepted the money and said, "Take your time, you two! You can chat casually until the master comes back, and I will guard the door for you."
Ye Qi: “…………”
Shao Qingge found it easy to spend money to bribe the government officials.
Shao Qingge smiled slightly, brought a food box and put it on the table: "You haven't eaten yet? Eat some snacks first."
Ye Qi did not eat dinner in preparation for the performance at the palace. He originally planned to go back to Tianxiang Tower for a midnight snack after the performance, but he failed to eat the midnight snack and was arrested instead. His stomach was growling with hunger when he saw the food.
box, immediately opened the lid, grabbed some snacks and ate them hungrily.
He had experienced the hardships of eating leaves to survive in the nightmare chamber, so he cherished food very much. When eating cakes, he would not leave any scraps behind. He would hold the small pieces of snacks in his hands and eat them cleanly.
The movement was like a hungry squirrel.
He had just been sitting in the haystack in the cell for a while, and there were some grass clippings in his hair.
Seeing his hungry and embarrassed appearance, Shao Qingge felt inexplicably soft. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently helped him take off the weeds on his head. He joked: "This is your first experience of being in prison, right?
Are the conditions bad?”
Ye Qi raised his head depressedly: "Are you still in the mood to joke? What if you wear a skirt every day and pretend to be a woman, and you are arrested and imprisoned?"
Shao Qingge said softly: "You sound aggrieved? How about I ask Mr. Yu to let you out?"
Ye Qi quickly calmed down: "Definitely not, we can't let go until the case is investigated clearly. It doesn't matter, it's the plot requirement anyway. I was placed in Tianxiang Tower. There must be clues in Tianxiang Tower that I need to collect."
He was already full, wiped his hands, looked at Shao Qingge and said: "After we left, did something happen again in the palace?"
Shao Qingge nodded: "The eldest lady is dead and hanged herself."
Ye Qi was stunned and immediately said: "It must not have been suicide!"
Shao Qingge said: "Yu and Xiao are still investigating clues over there, and they specifically asked me to come and see you. In fact, everyone is quite concerned about you."
Ye Qi's heart warmed slightly and he said: "I'm fine. I'm just going to be in jail for a few days. I don't know much about Tianxiang Tower. I thought about it carefully. That assassin should have been in the show for a long time.
It’s in the sword dance team.”
Shao Qingge asked with interest: "How do you know she didn't kill one of the dancers and pretend to be her?"
"Impossible." Ye Qi shook his head and said, "I have been practicing dance with them these days. The movements of this sword dance are very complicated. If you replace it temporarily, you won't be able to perform it so completely. You just danced in the palace.
I also saw that the synchronicity of the five people is very high, every movement is uniform, and they follow the rhythm of the music very accurately. It is impossible to do this if they are temporary substitutes."
"Well, that's true." Shao Qingge carefully recalled the dance just now. The five of them really cooperated with each other tacitly, their movements were very skillful, and the dance effect was quite amazing. They had obviously practiced together for a long time.
"They kept their faces covered during rehearsal. In order to distinguish each one, I deliberately remembered their eyes and eyebrows, which matched the five people performing today. Therefore, the assassin must have had a premeditated plan.
The identity of the dancer is mixed up in Tianxiang Tower. This time, while performing at the prince's birthday party, she mixed up with the dance team to assassinate the prince."
"..." This guy's serious analysis was quite cute. Shao Qingge couldn't help but smile and said, "Are there any other clues?"
"I just checked the remaining four girls. The escaped assassin's name is Xue Yan. According to Aunt Qing, she has been in Tianxiang Tower for a year. It seems that she has been planning the assassination of the prince for a long time. I don't know what to do with it.
Are the same people who assassinated Mr. Yu?"
"Okay, I'll take note of it. I will convey all your words to Mr. Yu." Shao Qingge wrote down all the clues provided by Ye Qi.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion if he stayed away for too long, Shao Qingge asked Ye Qi to go back and rest first.
The yamen officer took Ye Qi to a cell alone. The cell was much cleaner than where others lived, and it was also covered with brand-new bedding. Ye Qi's eyes widened: "Where did this bedding come from..."
The yamen servant smiled and said: "Master Shao asked us to prepare this for the girl. Master Shao is really caring and cherishes her. He is worried that Miss Ye will suffer in prison, so he specially asked the servant to bring a new bedding."
Ye Qi walked into the cell, feeling warm in his heart.
Although Shao Qingge has a bad mouth, he still has a good heart.
The evil money also worked in ancient times.
Ye Qi sighed in his heart, having money is good, even sitting in jail is different from others!
***
At the same time, Zhenjiang Prince's Mansion.
After interrogating everyone in the palace, Xiao Lou compiled the records and followed Yu Hanjiang to the deceased's residence to collect clues.
They found a lot of copied sutras in the eldest lady's boudoir. There were also some waste papers in the wastebasket. They were scraps of letters written by the eldest lady to the Ninth Princess. Most of them were only half-written and then crumpled into a ball and thrown away.
Obviously, when she wrote the letter, she was very conflicted in her heart. She did not think about the content of the letter, but revised it as she wrote.
The handwriting on the scrapped manuscript is consistent with the handwriting on the letter that the Ninth Princess gave to Yu Hanjiang. The content of one page of the scrapped manuscript is similar to that in the final letter, except that a few words were written incorrectly and were erased. The eldest lady should have followed it.
A complete rewrite.
These evidences can at least prove that the letter given to Yu Hanjiang by the Ninth Princess was indeed written by the eldest lady herself.
In addition, there was a brand new dress in the eldest lady's house, neatly placed aside. This should be the new dress that Mrs. Yun prepared for her daughter at that time, so that she could change into it to attend the prince's dinner, but she did not change into it when she died.
Still wearing the plain white clothes.
Unfortunately, the most important evidence was not found.
——Where did the poison that the eldest lady took before she died come from?
Is it snacks, meals, or tea?
In ancient times, food could not be tested in the laboratory. Generally, silver needles were used for poison testing. Xiao Lou picked up the snacks on the table and used a silver needle to test for poison. He found that there were no toxins in several cakes and there was no toxin in the tea.
.
When I asked the maid who was serving the eldest lady, she said that the eldest lady went out at midnight in the afternoon and did not let her follow her. She never came back after that and she did not eat in the house before going out.
Shen time, which is around 16 o'clock.
The eldest lady died at 18 o'clock. No one knows what she saw or experienced after she went out.
Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou, Mo Xuemin and Long Sen with him to search the residence of Fourth Miss Qi Yiwei.
Unexpectedly, the medicinal materials Liu Qiao mentioned are still there, and the paper package containing the medicinal materials has not even been opened. It seems that the fourth lady did not use these medicinal materials to prepare the poison?
No special findings were found in the residences of the second lady, third lady and other ladies.
When they finished searching the palace, it was almost early in the morning. The entire palace was sealed off. Madams and ladies gathered in the hall with different expressions. Yu Hanjiang had searched everything that needed to be searched and asked questions that needed to be asked. It was not easy to disturb him anymore, so he asked the prince.
Farewell.
The prince personally sent them to the door and told him to solve the case as soon as possible. Yu Hanjiang promised that he would do his best.
Long Sen and Qu Wanyue stayed in the palace, while Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin back to the prefect's Yamen.
Shao Qingge and Liu Qiao were waiting for them there. When they saw the two coming back, Shao Qingge immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Does the murderer have a clue?" As a scumbag of hearts, he is used to winning by lying in the secret room of hearts.
Based on his understanding of Yu and Xiao, they came back so late and probably turned the palace upside down without missing any clues.
However, what surprised Shao Qingge was that Yu Hanjiang's face did not look confident, but showed a trace of confusion. He frowned slightly and said: "There are many clues, and they are very complicated. The murderer cannot be identified yet."
Mo Xuemin couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "Isn't the murderer Lin Shaobo who escaped?" Liu Qiao was also curious: "Didn't Lin Shaobo and the Fourth Miss conspire to do it?"
After all the analysis in the palace just now, isn't it Lin Shaobo who is the most suspected?
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "It's not that simple. The fourth lady's medicinal materials are not missing, and the poison was not prepared by her. The medicine that poisoned the eldest lady has not yet been found, so we cannot draw conclusions easily."
He winked at his teammates and took them directly to the cell to see Ye Qi.
Ye Qi was locked in a cell alone. The little guy was sleeping under the quilt, with one white ear exposed and his whole body curled up, like an alert little animal.
Xiao Lou saw the quilt covering him and couldn't help but wonder: "Where did the quilt come from?"
Shao Qingge said with a smile: "I asked people to prepare it. We, Miss Ye, can't let us sleep in this messy haystack."
When Xiao Lou saw Ye Qi huddled up, he couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "I've really wronged him this time. The floor of the cell is damp and cold, and it's autumn again. It must be very uncomfortable to sleep on the ground like this."
Ye Qi woke up quietly. When he woke up and saw everyone, he immediately ran over and said, "You are back. How is the case?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "The case is rather complicated. The two cases should be related, but no connection point can be found yet. In your testimony, Mr. Shao has already told us what the assassin named Xue Yan looks like. Can you draw it?
?”
Ye Qi thought about it carefully and said: "I haven't studied art and can't draw it, but I remember her eyes and eyebrow shape. If I see her again, I will definitely recognize her."
The other party had his face covered and it was difficult to find him just by painting his eyebrows and eyes. It seemed that he could only let Ye Qi recognize him.
Yu Hanjiang said: "It's already very late. You should rest first. If there are any clues, I will ask Mr. Shao to inform you. Before the case is solved, everyone in Tianxiang Tower cannot be released. If you want to be wronged, you should stay in the dungeon first."
We will investigate this case as soon as possible."
Ye Qi nodded with a bright smile: "It doesn't matter, I can sleep anywhere."
Shao Qingge remembered Xiao Lou saying that the ground was damp and cold, so he said: "The quilt given to you is very big. You can spread it half and cover it half, so that the ground will not be cold. I will ask the yamen to get you a brazier later."
, don’t catch a cold from the cold.”
Ye Qi joked: "Thank you, dad, the sponsor."
Shao Qingge chuckled: "You're welcome, this is what the sponsor should do."
As expected, Shao Qingge knew how to do things and secretly stuffed pieces of silver into the yamen guarding the prisoners. A brazier was quickly brought to Ye Qi's cell. Compared with the girls in other cells who slept in haystacks, starved, and were cold,
What Miss Ye enjoys is the treatment of a "VIP cell".
****
【Chapter 167, War in Troubled Times 17】
After coming out of the cell, the watchman outside was beating the gong to announce the time. It was already past two o'clock in the morning.
Yu Hanjiang asked everyone to go back and rest, and he and Xiao Lou also returned to their rooms.
After a tiring day, they finally returned home. The maid Ping'er had been waiting for them and brought them two basins of hot water. The two of them washed up one after another. Before going to bed, Xiao Lou took the external ointment prepared by Liu Qiao and asked Yu Hanjiang to take it off.
coat, and apply medicine to the wound on his back.
Although the toxins in the wound have been completely eliminated, the hideous and terrifying scar runs across the man's strong back, which makes Xiao Lou feel distressed every time he sees it.
He dipped his fingertips into the medicine, gently applied it on the scar, and asked softly: "Does it still hurt?"
Applying cold ointment to the burning wound felt very comfortable, not to mention Xiao Lou's long and soft fingers. When he gently stroked his back and applied the medicine considerately, Yu Hanjiang felt as comfortable as if his hair had been smoothed.
Even though the wound still hurts, my heart feels warm.
He whispered: "It doesn't hurt anymore, Mrs. Hardworking."
Xiao Lou's face turned slightly red: "There are no outsiders, so there is no need to call him that."
Yu Hanjiang said seriously: "If Ping'er hears it, it will be difficult to explain."
Xiao Lou didn't care about these details with him, and carefully changed the dressing and bandage for his wound, and then the two of them went to sleep together.
Yu Hanjiang realized just the day before that he liked Xiao Lou and slept in the same bed with Xiao Lou. He felt uncomfortable and still maintained his "statue" posture without daring to move for fear of accidentally bumping into Xiao Lou.
When Xiao Lou saw him sleeping on his back, he immediately said, "You hurt your back. Don't sleep on your back. If you put pressure on the wound, it won't heal well."
Yu Hanjiang said "hmm" obediently, turned sideways, and slept facing Xiao Lou.
Xiao Lou could feel his eyes on his face. It was very quiet at night, and being watched by him from such a close distance made Xiao Lou's heart beat like a drum. He had no choice but to talk about the case to divert his attention: "You just said that the murderer is not here yet."
Are you sure, do you think Lin Shaobo is not the murderer?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "If it was him, this case would be too simple. Liu Qiao witnessed the fourth lady and Lin Shaobo dating with his own eyes. The eldest lady's letter to the ninth princess also mentioned the affair between the two people, plus the fourth lady
I personally confirmed that the two were caught in a private meeting by the eldest sister. Lin Shaobo had a motive for murder and the time of committing the crime. The clues are very clear... But if you look carefully, you can find a lot of wrong things."
Xiao Lou listened carefully: "What's wrong?"
Yu Hanjiang analyzed in a low voice: "First of all, where did Lin Shaobo get the poison? We searched the fourth lady's house and found that none of the medicinal materials Liu Qiao mentioned that could cause poisoning had been touched, proving that the poison was not prepared by the fourth lady.
.If Miss Fourth and Lin Shaobo teamed up to commit the crime, and they had planned and prepared the poison in advance, it would not make sense. If they had planned before, they would not have aroused suspicion when they met today."
Xiao Lou nodded in agreement: "I think so too. The source of the poison is not Miss Fourth or Master Lin. Therefore, the two people who seem to be the most suspicious actually do not have the tools to commit the crime. We have not found it yet.
Poison, the maid said that the eldest lady has never eaten in the house, I suspect that the eldest lady was poisoned in front of someone in the yard."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Well, you have done an autopsy and there were no signs of struggle before she died. It was obvious that she did not resist when she ate poisonous food. The person who could make her eat poisonous food in front of her should be the eldest lady.
Someone she is familiar with, otherwise she will not eat what the other person gives her."
Yu Hanjiang paused and then said: "Also, we were assassinated after we arrived in Jiangzhou, and assassins also appeared on the prince's birthday. I think this assassin organization is not an interference in the case, but is directly related to the case."
Thinking back to the map I took from the study in Kyoto at that time, why are there four countries in this world: Qi, Chu, Yan, and Zhao? If it was just a simple murder case, just one Qi country would be fine.
?
Such a complex background is certainly not just for decoration.
Xiao Lou's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that the death of the eldest lady had nothing to do with love killing, but that she accidentally witnessed something she shouldn't know about in the palace, and was silenced?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "It's very possible."
He paused and suddenly said: "Do you remember a detail that Qu Wanyue mentioned - the ninth princess is the youngest daughter of the late emperor. When the ninth princess met the eighth prince last night, she called him the eighth prince's brother?"
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and immediately reacted: "Yes, your Majesty calls the prince uncle, and the ninth princess calls the emperor brother, which means that your majesty is the nephew of the ninth princess, and the ninth princess is the youngest daughter of the late emperor. In this way, your majesty and the late emperor
The relationship between the emperor and the emperor is actually not that of father and son, but that of ancestor and grandson?"
Yu Hanjiang also surmised from this point that the matter was not simple.
In the secret room world, many times, particularly clear clues are likely to be distractions. And some details that are easily overlooked may be real clues - the harem fight in which the Ninth Princess gave Qu Wanyue gossip, and the Ninth Princess and the Eighth Prince
With the former emperor, the issue of the emperor's seniority might be implying something.
The throne is usually passed on to sons. The former emperor left the eighth prince alone and did not pass the throne on. Why did he pass it on to his grandson?
Yu Hanjiang has met the present His Majesty. The one on the Dragon Throne is very young, only around 20 years old. The Eighth Prince is over 40 years old. Even though the Eighth Prince is indifferent to political affairs, he is not the material to be an emperor. Doesn’t the former emperor have other sons?
Already?
The princess ranks ninth, which means there are seven princes and princesses before the eighth prince. Where are those people?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lou suddenly said: "Historically, there was a coup in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth prince, Zhu Di, overthrew the regime of his nephew Zhu Yunwen under the banner of 'Qingjun side'. Zhu Yuanzhang initially made his eldest son Zhu Biao the crown prince.
It was a pity that the prince died young, so he asked his grandson Zhu Yunwen to inherit the throne. His son Zhu Di refused to accept it and launched a mutiny after Zhu Yunwen came to power. He became the emperor himself, the Yongle Emperor."
Hearing what Xiao Lou said, Yu Hanjiang suddenly felt enlightened!
The mutiny of the Ming Dynasty is quite famous in history. Zhu Yuanzhang skipped his son and appointed his grandson as his heir. Zhu Di rebelled and usurped the throne, and finally took charge of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts are unknown, which has become an unsolved case in history.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang also skipped other princes and directly appointed the emperor's grandson as his heir. It is somewhat similar to the current situation in Qi. Your Majesty is so young now, and the Eighth Prince's palace is very deep. Could it be that he wants to launch a mutiny and unite
The State of Zhao rebelled, and the envoy of the State of Zhao was accidentally caught by the eldest lady when he was conspiring with him in the palace. He directly killed his daughter to silence her?"
If this speculation is true, many clues can be connected together.
Someone from the State of Zhao happened to be here today. The second lady said that the prince of the State of Zhao was giving a gift to his future father-in-law and sent someone from the Ministry of Etiquette to exchange some details about the wedding. Long Sen said that the envoy from the State of Zhao had entered the palace, but left without attending the dinner.
If an envoy from the State of Zhao enters the palace in the afternoon to plot something with the prince, and happens to be caught by the eldest lady who is out for a walk, it is very possible that the prince will find a way to kill his daughter to silence him.
Moreover, the Eighth Prince's attitude today was indeed a bit strange. He took the initiative to let Yu Hanjiang investigate the case and was very cooperative.
Maybe the assassins who assassinated Yu Hanjiang were sent by him, and perhaps the assassins who assassinated him were just acting. At that time, the assassins suddenly flew towards him and stabbed him. The prince did not panic at all and acted too calmly... as if he had expected it.
My nephew has become the emperor. Can he really be willing to accept this as an imperial uncle?
Yu Hanjiang recalled that he and the prince talked about His Majesty. The prince only cared about His Majesty's daily life and did not ask about any court affairs. It seemed that he was an idle prince who did not care about political affairs... But what if he was hiding his power and biding his time?
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other and both felt that the possibility of the Eighth Prince treason and killing his daughter was much higher than the possibility of Lin Shaobo and Qi Yiwei's affair being revealed and murdering their eldest sister.
***
The next day, Yu Hanjiang woke up and went directly to the Yamen. He had already ordered the whole city to arrest the suspect Lin Shaobo last night. However, after one night, there was still no news about Lin Shaobo.
He went to the Lin family to investigate. Lin's father said that he was supposed to go to the prince's birthday party in person yesterday, but the Lin family happened to have something to do and couldn't leave, so he asked Lin Shaobo to go as a representative to congratulate him.
Father Lin was puzzled and said: "My son has not returned all night. I sent someone to the palace to find him early this morning. The palace said that he had left long ago. Now you have come to ask me about his whereabouts. I don't know where he is."
Where are you, what's going on?"
At this moment, Mrs. Lin suddenly came over in a hurry and whispered in his ear: "I went out today and heard from the neighbors that the eldest lady of the royal family hanged herself last night!"
Father Lin's eyes widened: "What?"
All the guests present heard about Qi Yiyao's suicide. The news spread very quickly, and it was only a matter of time before the Lin family found out. However, the rumors outside were that "the eldest young lady committed suicide", and the fact that she was "murdered" was only
Yu Hanjiang and others as well as the people in the palace knew that the prince had ordered everyone to keep their mouths shut and no one dared to speak nonsense.
Father Lin realized that the eldest lady might have hanged herself because of her son's stimulation. He slammed the table angrily: "Where is Shao Bo?! Why don't we let the servants look for him immediately! This beast might have sneaked away to the brothel again.
, look for him for me, even if we turn over all the brothels in Jiangzhou City, we will find him!"
Mrs. Lin retreated tremblingly. The Lin family was in a commotion early in the morning.
After Yu Hanjiang came out of the Lin Mansion, his brows became more and more frowned.
At that time, he also suspected that Lin Shaobo was hiding in a certain brothel, so last night he asked the government officials of Jiangzhou Prefecture to search the brothels. In addition to Tianxiang Tower, they also searched Baihua Tower, Feng Yaxuan, Zuixian Tower...
…
All the brothels in Jiangzhou were searched by officials, but no trace of Lin Shaobo was found.
He was a kid from a wealthy family, and he didn't know how to do light martial arts. Even if he escaped over the wall from the backyard of the palace, he wouldn't disappear without a trace.
The bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. Yu Hanjiang called up to Xiaolou and strode to the door of the palace.
Long Sen, the gatekeeper, saw them and let them go directly.
Other nursing homes were not surprised to see Lord Yu and his wife handling the case. Anyway, everyone had seen the situation last night when Lord Yu and his wife worked together to handle the case - it is not easy for a lady who can do autopsies.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou walked into the palace, and the eighth prince immediately welcomed them out.
So many things happened at yesterday's banquet. The prince, who has always been elegant and elegant, also looked a little haggard. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Master Yu, do you have any clues about Yi Yao's murder case?"
Yu Hanjiang said calmly: "The most suspicious person for the death of the eldest lady is her fiancé Lin Shaobo, but Weichen almost searched the entire Jiangzhou City and couldn't find Lin Shaobo. Weichen had a bold idea
My guess is that Lin Shaobo is still in the palace."
The prince's face was full of disbelief: "Prince's Palace? I asked the guards to search the entire palace last night, but I didn't see Master Lin."
Yu Hanjiang thought carefully about the distribution map of the palace - it is impossible to hide people in the front yard, but in the backyard, rockery, woods, lakes. It is difficult to find people hiding at night, especially the lotus pond near the rockery, which is almost as large as
The size of a football field.
Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: "Go and have a look at the pond!"
The prince was stunned for a moment and quickly followed Master Yu's footsteps.
As soon as everyone arrived at the pond, they heard a scream not far away: "Ah——!"
Yu Hanjiang walked over quickly and saw the two maids with pale faces. They pointed tremblingly at the floating objects in the pond not far away and said: "Chi, there is a person floating in the pond!" "Okay, it seems to be a corpse!"
The prince's expression changed: "Get it out quickly!"
Several nursing homes immediately stepped forward to salvage it. After a while, they hurriedly fished out a body and placed it on the shore.
After soaking in the pond all night, the corpse was already swollen, the facial features on the face were distorted, the skin was dehydrated and wrinkled, and everyone around him was so disgusted that he turned around and vomited.
Xiao Lou looked calm, walked to the body and knelt down to examine it carefully.
The corpse was that of an adult man, wearing dark blue clothes, with a blue headband on his messy hair, and an emerald ring on his finger...
Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath and whispered, "It's Lin Shaobo."
