Strict interrogation? Execution? Xilingyue was so frightened that she turned around and wanted to flee.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengxuan walked to the exit first, firmly blocked the door of the secret room, and watched her run in front of him before saying, "What are you running?" Those who know the times are handsome, if you can't prove your innocence...... It is also okay to wear guilt and make meritorious contributions. ”

Guilty of meritorious service?! Xilingyue raised her head suddenly, only to see Li Chengxuan's starry eyes flickering slightly, although there was no expression on his handsome face, it seemed to have some deep meaning.

She reacted immediately, turned to Li Qi and Mrs. Gao and said, "Servant, madam, although I have no evidence to prove my innocence, I ...... I can crack the case! If you give me time, I'll be able to find out who's behind it! ”

"Oh?" Li Qi narrowed his eyes, as if he was considering and doubting.

There's a play! Xi Lingyue hurriedly strived for: "You see, I have studied Di Lianggong's case-handling codex, and I have a lot of experience in difficult cases, and you have also seen me find the assassin with your own eyes...... Since you don't have a clue right now, you might as well leave it to me to check! ”

After she said this, Li Qi still didn't say anything, as if she was thinking about it seriously. Mrs. Gao stood in front of the screen and sobbed: "I don't care what case you investigate or what evidence you find, you hand over Heng'er first!" ”

"Not bad." Li Qi also made a statement.

However, Xilingyue didn't seem to hear it, and her eyes suddenly fixed on the screen beside Mrs. Gao, stunned, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What, there's nothing to say?" Mrs. Gao said coldly.

Xilingyue still didn't react, and slowly stepped forward and stood still in front of the two golden screens. Her bare hand stroked the second screen, and after a while, she touched the first one, from the phoenix, the high house to Xiao Shi and Langyu in the house.

Then she straightened up and said to herself in front of the screen: "If the murderer really wants to blame me, there must be some clues on this screen, what is he trying to tell us where the son is?" ”

Everyone wanted to know the answer, and they all stared with bated breath. Xilingyue looked at the screen for a while, and suddenly shouted "ah", and turned to look at Pei Xingli: "General Pei, are you sure that the prince has not been out of the inner room since he saw me the night before?" ”

"The guard said no." Pei Xingli replied firmly. Xiling Moon Moth frowned: "I probably know where the son is." ”

Everyone returned to Li Heng's residence again. Still in the same place, Xilingyue smelled the heavy scent of sandalwood in the house, looked around again, and still didn't find anything unusual. Eventually, her gaze fell on the floor tiles.

"Dare to ask Madame, what string of beads do you have handy?" Xiling Yue asked. Mrs. Gao still had tears on her cheeks, and asked puzzledly, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Demolished." Xiling Yuebi drew it, "It's best not to be too expensive, but the beads must be round." ”

Mrs. Gao pondered for a moment, and said to the Liu family beside her: "Go and bring the amber beads in my Buddhist hall." ”

"Yes." Liu hurriedly retreated.

Everyone waited quietly like this, during which Li Qi and Pei Xingli asked a few words, but Xilingyue didn't have the heart to answer, and her face was a little pale. Everyone didn't know what she meant, and they couldn't ask, so they were in a hurry. It wasn't until Mrs. Gao waited patiently and was about to open her mouth to ask questions that she saw Liu running back from the Buddhist hall with two strings of prayer beads in her hands.

Without waiting for Mrs. Gao to speak, Xilingyue stepped forward and picked up a string of beads and ripped it apart. But there was a crisp sound, and the amber beads fell to the ground and scattered on the floor tiles. Xilingyue picked up the beads one by one, took out two of them and threw them again, only to see the two beads rolling down the floor tiles to the southwest corner of the house.

Xi Lingyue walked to the southwest corner, took the opportunity to pick up the beads, sniffed deeply, and knocked on the floor tiles in the southwest corner, then stood up and asked: "Servant, madam, there is a secret room in this house, just under the southwest corner, do you know?" ”

This is Li Heng's inner courtyard, and Li Qi and Mrs. Gao don't come often on weekdays, and both of them were surprised when they heard this. Especially Mrs. Gao, she couldn't even speak clearly at the moment: "This ...... Heng'er is the most frank and unrestrained on weekdays...... How could it be...... There will be ...... Secret Room ......"

Li Qi sighed: "It seems that we don't know Heng'er. ”

Seeing that the two didn't understand what she meant, Xiling Yue pointed to the corner and said bluntly: "Please also ask the servant to open the secret room, if nothing happens, the prince will be inside." ”

The husband and wife finally changed their faces, and hurriedly sent someone to find the location of the secret room, and they were busy for a long time, but they couldn't find where the entrance mechanism was. Pei Xingli proposed to demolish the house, and Li Qi ordered someone to tear down the wall in the southwest corner and dig up the floor tiles, so that he found the entrance to the secret room - a deep and narrow staircase.

Pei Xingli picked up a candlestick and led two guards into the secret room; Xiling Yue followed with curiosity; Li Qi was also worried about his son's situation, drew his sword in front of him, and walked down the steps. The more they walked, the darker it became, the colder it became, and the musty smell in the air became stronger and stronger......

The same goes for the smell of blood.

Finally, the few people reached the end of the steps, and the stone door of the secret room was in front of them. Xilingyue was about to push the door in, but was stopped by Pei Xingli raising his hand, he carefully checked the surroundings, until he was sure that there were no mechanisms, and there were no hidden weapons, so he cautiously pushed open the stone door.

This is a closed stone room, boxy, cold and dark, and the interior situation is unobstructed - Li Heng is wearing a dark blue plain robe, lying in the middle of the stone room dumbfounded, with a dagger in his chest, and the blood on the placket has congealed into pieces of black.

Li Qi shouted "Heng'er" and pounced, and Pei Xingli also stepped forward to check on Li Heng's situation, but unfortunately it was too late, his body was cold and stiff, and his corpses were all over the place, and there was no trace of life for a long time.

Li Qi burst into tears in an instant and sat down beside Li Heng. Xilingyue saw Li Heng's death with her own eyes, and she couldn't help but want to cry. Only Pei Xingli was still calm, and persuaded him: "Uncle mourns, for the sake of today's plan, it is important to carry out the body of the son first, and find the murderer." ”

After all, Li Qi has gone through the wind and waves, and when he heard the words, he instantly stopped his tears, and returned to the high, majestic and kind Zhenhai Festival envoy. He stood up with his ground and replied bitterly: "You're right, the old man wants to avenge Heng'er!" ”

After saying that, he suddenly looked at Xiling Yue, but saw that the latter was looking around this secret room, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?" ”

"Look for clues." After Xiling Yue finished speaking, she had already walked to a corner and found a little bit of shredded meat on the ground, only the size of a fingernail. She thought about it, walked to Li Qi's side again, and asked softly: "Servant, please mourn, I want to see the body of the son, is it okay?" ”

Li Qi looked at her sharply, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Look." ”
