Chapter 523: Bad luck and bad luck
"A human skull? Bring it to me! β
"Yes!"
Bai Xiaoqian took a closer look, judging from the skull, it should be a woman around 30 years old, there was actually something strange in her mouth, and the woman carefully put it away, which was an important physical evidence.
Xiao Qian seemed to suddenly think of something, and shouted: "Where is the housekeeper, please invite him over quickly, I have something to ask." β
Xiao Qian was surprised to find that her words were obedient to the secret guards, which seemed to be more effective than the holy decree, and the secret guards did things directly without asking the emperor at all, could he now overstep his authority to manage them?
How can there be such a good thing in the world, Xiao Qian glanced at the fox and couldn't see anything greasy.
But the emperor seemed to be a roundworm in Xiao Qian's stomach, and he smiled faintly: "What do you see me doing, is there anything you don't understand?" You are now the Commander of the Dark Guard and directly order them to do things, and you don't need to use honorifics anymore. β
"What!? I used to be the commander for two days but I was forced by the situation, isn't it a ghost who is taking over the position of commander-in-chief? β
"The ability of each of the four dark guards is outstanding, but it's a pity that now-not to mention them, ghosts or newcomers need more experience, and I value him now because no one is available, and no one can replace your position in the hearts of the dark guards, so after thinking about it, this Lord Commander is still the most suitable for you to do!"
The emperor is also thinking about Xiao Qian, and the popularity of people is very jealous, not to mention that these ministers always hold on to Qian'er, all because they are too tired of spoiling her, if Qian'er is the head of the dark guard and the protection of King Chen, those mediocre ministers will be more or less scruples, I can have a clean ear, his Xiao Jiujiu doesn't know if it has any effect, but it is still a deterrent for the timid ministers who are afraid of death.
"Aren't I busy enough, you better ask for another master!"
"This matter is so decided, if you are busy, it will be a false position, just put your name on it. I have my own intentions, and you just have to be obedientβ"
"You'd better let me think about it!" Xiao Qian pouted, she was used to the emperor's **.
is worthy of being a secret guard, and after a while, Steward Li came.
Xiao Qian asked tentatively: "Has anyone lived in the small bamboo thatched hut here before?" β
"Thisβ" The old butler's eyes rolled for a moment, not knowing what to answer.
"I've made tea in this bamboo hut before. I accidentally picked up a handful of small objects in the crevices on the ground, how could there be such a thing if no one had lived here! β
Steward Li couldn't hide it, so he could only honestly admit it: "Well-there are indeed people living here, but they suddenly disappeared two years ago, and I have been looking around all these years but still found nothing." β
"They-you mean two people. Can you be specific? β
Steward Li suddenly knelt on the ground, looked serious, and said word by word: "The old slave of the prince has been concealing something, and now he has to tell the truth, three years ago a mother and daughter, they are very pitiful, the woman has a general Zhang's waist card, claiming to be the wife of Vice General Zhang's orphan, Vice General Zhang followed the prince for many years to fight on the battlefield unfortunately died, and their orphans and widows have nowhere to stay. I want to take a break in the palace. Of course, the old slave took them in, originally wanted them to live in a better house, and then make plans after telling the prince, but the woman was very strange and stubborn, she resolutely disagreed, and did not let the old slave tell the prince her identity, if the prince knew, she would rather starve to death with the little girl than stay in the palace, and finally they lived in this remote bamboo hut next to the bamboo forest, self-sufficiency. The old slave can't just turn a blind eye. Sometimes I bring them some food and silver ......."
King Chen has been frowning deeply and not speaking, and his face is very cautious.
Xiao Qian frowned slightly when she was infected, and asked, "Why did they suddenly disappear?" β
The old slave didn't know that they had lived in the small bamboo hut for nearly a year and had been peaceful. But suddenly it disappeared, the old slave thought they were gone, and they had found it, but there was no trace, and two years later, out of selfishness, the old slave was afraid that the prince would blame him after he found out, so he put away all their belongings. β
The ice beauty looked guilty and sad, and blamed herself: "How do you make this king good!" Vice General Zhang was poisoned by an arrow and died, and before his death, he entrusted the king to take care of his wife and children. Over the years, this king has been guilty, and now his wife and daughter are dead, how do you let this king face this dead brother! β
He didn't protect them, and he failed his good brother's commission before he died, what a shame!
"I don't blame you for this, Steward Li does have a dereliction of duty, now is not the time to hold them accountable, as long as they are not killed, we can still make amends, as long as we haven't seen the bodies of their mother and daughter, we still have hope!"
Xiao Qian said that she was comforting and encouraging Qingye, but her psychology was drumming, and her sixth sense told her that this head was most likely the widow of Deputy General Zhang, and their mother and daughter were only afraid that there would be fewer murderers!
The assassin who walked through Yang had no clues, but instead involved a disappearance and a skull two years ago.
"Do you remember the night when you fought the Hellbringers, the night of the Monster Carnival?"
"You mean there's a headless female corpse there, and a very cute little girl, who claims to be Shuangmengmeng, and says that their mother and daughter were killed by the copper knife used by the secret guard!"
"Yes, your memory is really good, in fact, the first case that Morse has to deal with is the headless female corpse case, call my apprentice quickly, I have something to ask him!"
Wenyin A person came out, it turned out to be Hao Lian Yangming, "Master, you don't need to look for me here, I've been here for a while, you asked me to check the identity of this mother and daughter, I checked all the household registration files, and there is no female baby named Shuangmengmeng, this surname is really very few, only the surnames of ethnic minorities in the small country of Miaojiang north of Beimo have double surnames, and then you also know that the spicy hand destroys the flowers, and we don't have enough manpower, so this case was shelved." β
"The old slave has heard that woman call the little girl Mengmeng, but the woman is mysterious and refuses to say anything, and the old slave can only keep calling her Mrs. Zhang!"
Their daughters are all called Meng Meng, it can't be such a coincidence! It can't really be them, right?!
"I decided to go down and have a look, the dark guard has just gone down, there is no danger down there!"
"No way!" This was actually shouted by those two men at the same time!
Xiao Qianyi's face turned blue when he was stunned by their anger, and he slowed down for a while before he said in a deep voice: "I understand your feelings of worrying about protecting me, but have you ever thought about that poor mother and daughter?" Who can help them when they are in trouble? Protect them?! The mother and daughter died so miserably, the murderer may be a sanctimonious hypocrite, or a thug who cut off a woman's head like this, and it is more likely that it is by our side at this moment, I can't tolerate such a heinous crime, the investigation of the assassin can be suspended, but I must take over the headless female corpse case myself! β
The woman's tone was very resolute, and the big clear eyes were so firm. (To be continued.) )
