102. Chapter 102
When Tang Mingze heard this, his face turned gloomy, and Gonggong Li smiled and said directly: "The slave retires!" ”
Slip away.
Tang Mingze's face was a little bad.
"Brother, what should we do next? Do you want to continue the investigation? Tang Yaxin asked with some uneasiness.
"Continue to investigate, if the Li Gong Guild speaks like this, it must be our actions that threaten them, if they take advantage of the victory to pursue, maybe they can make the four princes show their ponytails."
Su Jinshi didn't speak, but she was a little disappreciative in her heart, she intuitively told her that Gonggong Li's words were not ordered by Ning Qiyue.
It's more like Gonggong Li himself came to threaten.
With such a shape in the court, if Ning Qiyue was interested in the throne, he would definitely be more restrained, but he had no trace of convergence, and his corpse was still constantly being discovered, and there was even an increasingly intense shape.
Su Jinshi felt that maybe Ning Qiyue didn't want to be the emperor.
But whether Ning Qiyue wants to be the emperor or not has nothing to do with her, she just wants to solve this matter quickly, so that she can leave.
"Shall we investigate the identity of the victim then?"
Tang Yaxin's words interrupted Su Jinshi's train of thought, but it made her suddenly have another thought.
Perhaps investigating the identities of the victims will give them answers, but it will be too slow and will take too long.
Tang Mingze frowned, his eyes looked at Su Jin as if he was nothing, "I think this is indeed a method, but if we investigate like this, I don't know what year and month it will be investigated, if the emperor can't stand it......"
Tang Yaxin nodded, "I also have this concern, but I don't know how to find a breakthrough." ”
Tang Mingze didn't speak, and Su Jinshi knew that they were all waiting for her to speak.
She whispered, "This is not a good place to talk. ”
Indeed, they are in the Imperial Garden, and Su Jinshi has the impression that the Imperial Garden is the easiest place to be eavesdropped.
Tang Mingze took the two of them to the small pavilion in the lake, this pavilion falls in the middle of the lake, except for a small road leading from the shore, there is no other road, and the small pavilion is surrounded by water, but there is no need to worry about where someone will hide and eavesdrop.
Tang Mingze and Tang Yaxin sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and Su Jinshi stood behind Tang Yaxin.
"If the Four Princes are really the killers behind all the serial murders, then there must be some similarities between the cases in the palace and the ones we have experienced before."
Just in case, Su Jinshi's voice was very low, and only the Tang brothers and sisters closest to her could hear it clearly.
"The four princes are cautious, maybe they can be different." Tang Mingze somewhat disagreed with Su Jinshi's thoughts.
Su Jinshi shook his head, "Although he is cautious, he also has his own habits, if you look closely at those corpses, you will find that he is very serious about each corpse, just like a treasure, he let his treasure be exposed in front of us, just to show off his treasure, and at the same time despise us." ”
Tang Mingze didn't understand a little, but he didn't interrupt and continued to listen to Su Jinshi.
"Do you remember the previous three cases? Each of the murderers took something from the victim and used it for their own collection, which is what they all have in common, but another thing they have in common is that they all have carrier pigeons to keep in touch with the Four Princes. ”
"Why do they collect the victim's things, those things can prove that they are the murderers, why don't they throw them away, but collect them? Because they don't kill because they have hatred for those people, but because they are completing a craft, and something about the victim is evidence that they have completed the craft, and of course they want to keep it. ”
"You mean, the Four Princes will keep the same things from the victims as they do?" Tang Yaxin's voice trembled a little.
Tang Mingze also felt a chill behind him, if this was the case, the four princes were really terrifying.
Su Jinshi nodded, "It's just that we don't know what exactly he kept, and we don't have a way to search the palace of the fourth prince." ”
"But we can find out if the victim has anything particularly precious through the victim's friends or people related to the victim." Tang Mingze said suddenly.
He lost a smile on his face and frowned, "Although I don't want to believe that the fourth prince is such a person, I can't find a reason to refute what you just said, I only hope that we won't be afraid and lost again in the end of our investigation." ”
Su Jinshi sighed in her heart, she thought, this should be impossible.
"Although what Jin Shi just said is feasible, it is still a bit tricky, let's divide into two ways, I will investigate how the victim and the four princes are connected, Yaxin, you and Jin Shi will investigate the more precious things on the victim." Tang Mingze thought for a while, and then said.
Tang Yaxin and Su Jinshi wanted to refuse, but when they saw Tang Mingze's eyes, it was clear: I don't want to be so embarrassed to go on the same road with you, let's do our own thing.
Helpless, Tang Yaxin and Su Jinshi could only go to investigate together.
Well, didn't speak all the way.
Well, it's a bit embarrassing.
They went to the morgue first, and took a closer look at the body.
Although the corpse had been killed horribly, Su Jinshi and Tang Yaxin still insisted on reading it, but they looked pale.
"Miss Tang, these corpse minions are disgusted when they see it, your daughter's body, don't let these filthy things stain the girl's eyes." The father-in-law in charge on the side followed behind Tang Yaxin and kept nagging.
Tang Yaxin ignored it.
After seeing the entity, walking outside, breathing in the fresh air and basking in the sun, the two girls felt alive again.
"Are these recent discoveries?" Tang Yaxin endured the discomfort and asked the father-in-law in charge.
The father-in-law in charge said with a sharp voice: "But isn't it, more and more corpses have been found in recent days, and the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and the four princes dare not tell the emperor, alas, I don't know when this palace will be able to restore peace, and the slave master has been tired and sick in recent days." ”
Tang Yaxin nodded and didn't speak again, but Tang Mingze on the side asked: "Father-in-law Zheng is tired, I don't know if father-in-law knows some of the facts of the case?" ”
The father-in-law in charge sighed, "How can the slave know that the slave is just the master who helps take care of affairs." ”
Tang Mingze nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, it is also troublesome for my father-in-law." ”
After speaking, he left here with Tang Yaxin and Su Jinshi.
The three of them were walking on the road, and when Su Jinshi saw that there was no one around, he asked, "Why is the servant in the palace a eunuch?" ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Mingze stopped and looked at Su Jinshi.
"Actually, I'm not very sure, it stands to reason that this servant should be an official in the Zongren Mansion, how can he be a eunuch?"
"But that's just my doubt, not necessarily." Su Jinshi waved his hand and said with a smile.
"I've never paid attention to this problem," Tang Mingze thought for a while, and said, "Let's get out of here first, and then talk about it when we go home." ”
Tang Yaxin and Su Jinshi both nodded.
The three of them quickly left the palace, returned to the Tang Mansion, and went straight to the study.
"I think that father-in-law is a little weird." Tang Mingze said directly.
Tang Yaxin nodded, and also said: "I also think that when we entered the morgue, the father-in-law didn't inform us, although the etiquette was thorough, it always made me feel that he didn't want us to take a closer look at those corpses." ”
Su Jinshi continued: "Well, and although he pretends to be his master, I always feel a little strange. ”
She couldn't say what was strange, but she felt that her father-in-law seemed to be hiding something.
Tang Mingze looked down, "I think that father-in-law may be the inner line of the fourth prince planted in the morgue." ”
"It's very possible, that's why the four princes can hide it, I'm afraid there are all the eyeliner of the four princes in this palace, I don't know if there is one in our house." Tang Yaxin was suddenly a little frightened.
"Probably yes, otherwise how could he know so quickly that we were investigating this case, maybe he had already figured us out, or maybe there was a big pit waiting for us to jump in front of us." Su Jinshi hooked the corners of his mouth, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
For a while, no one spoke in the study, and only the whining wind outside could be heard quietly, and the sound was very loud.
"If that's the case, what else do we investigate, what else do we investigate, our every move the four princes know, but we don't know anything about him." Tang Yaxin leaned back in her chair and whispered.
Tang Mingze rubbed his temples, "Even so, we still have to investigate, the emperor's situation is very bad, if we are not happy, I think the four princes will succeed." ”
Su Jinshi looked away and looked at the willow branches blowing on the ground outside, the branches had no green leaves, and they hung down barely, Su Jinshi suddenly felt that it looked like the emperor.
Sick in bed, but no one really cared about him, and the children were all fighting for that supreme position.
And he is above 10,000 people, but there is no one to accompany him in his last years.
"The sixth prince has been trying his best to entrap the minister recently, and his father is probably on his side, Yaxin," Tang Mingze paused, and seemed to be a little difficult to speak, "You...... You may have to be ready to marry the Six Princes. ”
Tang Yaxin was stunned, she did hear some words recently, but her father and mother had never mentioned it, so she thought there was no such thing, but unexpectedly......
"Yaxin, I know you like the Six Princes, but it's just ......"
"My brother always doesn't want you to marry into that palace, not to mention, whether you can ascend to the throne after marrying is not necessarily ......"
Tang Mingze talked a lot, Tang Yaxin listened a little sluggishly, and Su Jinshi only felt that in this deep palace compound, she just wanted to leave quickly.
**
In the evening, Su Jinshi went back to the house and took a bath, and then lay on the bed thinking about what had happened in recent days, and she always felt faintly uneasy.
The ones they investigated were useful and useful, and it was not bad to say they were useless, but what they investigated was too superficial to really shake the four princes, and they couldn't find exact evidence.
In this palace, she had to believe that powerful people could cover the sky with one hand.
Ning Xifeng asked them to check, and probably didn't have much hope, thinking that he must have kept a hand for himself.
It's just that she is a little strange, why does the emperor favor Ning Qiyue so much, he still commits those cases, which makes the emperor's favor of him decline, he is too confident, or he never thought about that position at all.
Su Jinshi was so cranky, and he didn't notice that Nian Su had entered the house.
"Jinshi."
Nian Su shouted at her, Su Jinshi came back to his senses, and then he saw Nian Su, but found that her face was a little pale, and she was very at a loss.
"Susu, what's wrong with you?" Su Jinshi hurriedly sat up, took her hand, and asked her to sit down, but the tentacles were cold.
Before she could ask what had happened to her, she heard her say softly and confusedly:
"Miss Lu...... Miss Lu, you're looking for me during the day. ”
