Chapter 343: Looking for a needle in a haystack
It has been a whole day since Cheng Jinzhi was kidnapped, and in addition to being sure that she is still in the capital, the people sent by Gao Heng secretly searched all over the city, but in the end they all returned in vain, and they could not find a single clue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In addition, those people acted very cautiously, and when they retreated, they used drugs to stun Gu Hanqing, so that even the general direction of their departure could not be determined.
And the drugs they used against Gu Hanqing were just ecstasy that could be bought everywhere, and they couldn't start tracking down the identities of those killers.
In the absence of any clues now, finding a hostage who was deliberately hidden in this large capital is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, even if the subordinates sent by Gao Heng are all strong in martial arts and thoughtful, but they are also a little helpless for a while.
However, in the faint sense, Gao Heng actually realized that Cheng Jinzhi's disappearance this time was just like when they designed to kidnap Cheng Yan's children, since the other party did not kill her directly, he naturally thought that she still had the value of use.
For example, threatening herself with her personal safety in order to achieve a certain goal.
And those who can use this kind of despicable technique, Gao Heng is the first one, and he thinks of the prince who hates him to the core.
It's just that what makes him suspicious in his heart is that the prince has always been unable to hold his breath, and since a whole night has passed, if he really wants to use this to hit himself, there is no reason why he has not taken action so far.
If it weren't for Gao Heng's concern for Cheng Jinzhi's life and safety, and worried about startling the snake, he would rather go directly to the prince to question him face to face, than have nothing to do here, so he can only keep worrying and being afraid.
"Your Highness, my subordinates sent someone to ask the people in the vicinity when the princess was taken captive, and they all said that it was dark at night, and they had all gone to bed and did not know what was happening outside. There were also two people who said that they did hear the sound of fighting outside, but they didn't dare to go out to find out for fear of being affected, and when they couldn't hear the sound and came out to investigate, they didn't see anyone else except for seeing Gu Shaozhu injured and fainting on the ground. ”
In Nanyuan's study, Shen Jun walked to Gao Heng's side and told him everything he had investigated, and the expression on his face was very solemn.
"The reason why they did it there was probably because they were inhabited by helpless people, and no one dared to meddle in their affairs, let alone help. Even if there really is, killing an unknown civilian is a matter of hand for them, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
Gao Heng said indifferently, lowering his eyes slightly, as if he had no hope for this.
"That's... They didn't kill the young master Gu, was it because they were afraid that he was the identity of the young master of the Gu family? Otherwise, why would they use drugs to make them unconscious? ”
"As it should be. Therefore, the person who took the golden branch must be someone we know. Gao Heng nodded thoughtfully, and raised his eyes again, "By the way, I asked you to follow the crown prince and King Heng, can you find anything unusual?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, his subordinates heard from the guards at the palace gate that the prince had stayed in the palace today and had never left the palace gate, and his subordinates had also sent someone to his villa on the outskirts of the city to see it, and he was indeed not there. ”
"What about the King of Heng?"
"King Heng has stayed in the post house arranged by the imperial court since the time of Chen and has not gone out, and he has not seen anyone except his personal attendants, and he cannot find any favorable breakthrough from him for the time being. ”
However, the fact is that Yuan Peng had long expected that Gao Heng would focus on himself, and deliberately sent a person with a similar figure to himself to change into his clothes to hide his eyes, and quietly left from the back door of the post house when Shen Jun and the others were unprepared, and went to the mansion where Cheng Jinzhi was imprisoned to meet the prince who bought the palace guards.
"He has never been a person who knows how to settle down, and since he came to Da Zhou, he has made friends outside, why is he so free today?"
Gao Heng said in a cold tone, and the skeptical balance in his heart couldn't help but be more biased towards this inscrutable prince of Great Chu.
"Your Royal Highness suspects that the disappearance of the princess is related to King Heng?"
Shen Jun frowned, rolled his eyes slightly, and as soon as the words fell, he suddenly heard an orderly knock on the door outside the study.
"Your Highness, it's me, can I come in?"
"It's Princess Yuanxi. ”
Shen Jun glanced at Gao Heng very vigilantly when he heard this, and a meaningful look rose between his eyebrows.
There is no need for Gao Heng to say that he also knows that if it is really Yuan Peng who sent someone to kidnap Cheng Jinzhi, then he must be for the sister he loves wholeheartedly, then this woman is very likely to know Cheng Jinzhi's whereabouts.
"You go open the door, I just want to go to her. ”
Gao Heng's gaze fell coldly on the door, and he turned his expression to converge, hiding the cold light in his eyes into the depths of his eyes.
Shen Jun stepped forward to open the door, only to see that Princess Yuanxi was no longer obsessed with her Chu clothes, but changed into a more feminine rouge cross-collared brocade skirt, and walked in with a stern complexion.
After seeing Gao Heng, he couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips lightly, and frowned worriedly.
Cheng Jinzhi disappeared for no reason on the night of his wedding, which Princess Yuanxi did not expect at all.
Although she was silent on the surface, and even worried, she really felt a burst of unspoken joy in her heart.
But she soon realized that behind this incident, Yuan Peng may have done something for herself.
Since she could perceive this, Gao Heng would inevitably think of this as well.
Besides, Yuan Peng has always been thoughtful in doing things, so he took Cheng Jinzhi away on his sister's wedding night, which will inevitably harm himself and be affected, which is really not like his style.
Therefore, what Princess Yuanxi is most worried about now is that Gao Heng will be suspicious of her, so she blames her for Cheng Jinzhi's disappearance, and her initial indifference has turned into deep hatred.
This is something she absolutely does not want to see.
"Your Highness, sister, she... Can you find it?"
"Not yet. ”
Gao Heng spit out a few words indifferently, and took two steps closer to Princess Yuanxi, staring at her, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
"This person behind the scenes is very smart, he has left no clues, and there is no way to find them. He must have wanted to be against Jin Zhi from a long time ago. ”
Looking at Gao Heng's sharp and dark eyes, Princess Yuanxi's breath stagnated, and she clearly saw the heavy suspicion in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, a far-fetched smile appeared on his lips: "Sister Jiren Tianxiang, their mother and son will definitely be able to return safely, Your Highness don't worry too much." ”
"Of course she'll come back safely. ”
Gao Heng's gaze was still tightly locked on Princess Yuanxi's body, and he stabbed her pupils that had contracted slightly because of her restlessness, and every word was cold.
"But I will not let go of those who try not to keep her safe, whoever they are. ”
