Although he couldn't find a hidden place such as a secret room or a tunnel, Li Mi smelled a strange aroma, and at this time, he was also concentrating and trying to dig it out.

This feeling is like the inspiration of the literati, slippery like a loach, and the slightest relaxation will slip through the fingers, where does Li Mi dare to move!

Xiong Tingbi also sensed that something was wrong, and was about to ask a question, but when he saw Li Mi raise his hand, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

After a while, Li Mi suddenly opened his eyes, ran out quickly, and when he arrived in the left wing, he sniffed like a hound.

Xiong Tingbi saw that Li Mi was like a demon, so he didn't dare to disturb, and when Li Mi opened his eyes again, he asked carelessly.

"What did you find?"

Li Mi looked around the room for a while, and then said to Xiong Tingbi: "I'm afraid we all made a mistake......

Xiong Tingbi was also puzzled, he didn't know what Li Mi meant by this, and was about to ask, but the guard outside shouted: "Who is the person in front, report your name!" ”

Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi glanced at each other, and walked out of the room quickly, but saw that the guard had already drawn his sword, and the lantern fire was lined with a few people, and walked quickly to this side, and one of them asked loudly.

"Li Mi is here!"

Li Mi heard this voice and recognized it as Zhao Guangling, so he looked outside and said, "Yes, I'm here." ”

The guard also felt that the voice was familiar, and when Zhao Guangling and the others approached, they realized that it was the son of the Zhao family, and immediately bowed his head and apologized for his faux pas.

Zhao Guangling's identity may not be easy to know to outsiders like Li Mi, or even to the ordinary people in Wuchang City, but the people in the palace, or the rich and noble families in Wuchang City, are all clear.

These guards were assigned by King Chuding to be sent by Li Mi, and they often followed King Chuding's side, and their eyesight was not good, and they were no strangers to Zhao Guangling.

Zhao Guangling didn't care about this, strode to Li Mi's room, and was about to speak, but Li Mi glanced at the guard, Zhao Guangling also frowned, and said impatiently to the guard.

"Get out of here!"

The janissary was rude, how dare he offend Zhao Guangling, and immediately hid in disgrace.

At this time, Zhao Guangling said excitedly to Li Mi: "You guessed right, there are really people missing in the mansion!" ”

Li Mi didn't expect Zhao Guangling's efficiency to be so high, you must know that when the big guys acted separately, it was already the middle of the night, most of the people in the palace had already fallen asleep, and the inner house was not able to move around at will, Zhao Guangling was able to find out the news so quickly!

"Whose family is it? The personal characteristics can be compared with Fang San'er, and the number that can be matched with the deceased who mixed in? ”

Zhao Guangling thought that he also tasted the sudden sense of accomplishment brought by uncovering the mystery, and his eyebrows fluttered at this time.

"Master, I've found more than that!"

Xiong Tingbi was originally a low-key and dull person, but he didn't deal with Zhao Guangling, and he couldn't hold back at this time, and said to Zhao Guangling: "Don't be complacent yet, but don't sell Guanzi, finish it in one go!" ”

Zhao Guangling glanced at Xiong Tingbi, full of disdain, but he no longer took care of it, and said to Li Mi.

"I inquired about the news earlier, saying that there was a little girl running away from Guo Lun, the internal supervisor in the palace, and I didn't care, after all, the palace is so big, and it is strict with subordinates, and it is common for one or two people to run away."

"But I still kept an eye on it, and after inquiring, I found out that the palace sent someone to chase the little girl's house, but reported that the little girl did not return home, and she thought that she should have died on the road, and some people said that she eloped with the little girl in the palace."

"This kind of thing doesn't matter, but I heard that Ji Shanguan Shen Zhangting has a daughter who is gone, and the maid and slave are gone, Shen Zhangting was very favored by King Chu Gong in his early years, although King Gong has died, but the palace still takes great care of the Shen family, Shen Zhangting's daughter is gone, how can he stop?"

"It's just that this matter will not be settled later......"

When Li Mi heard this, he inevitably had some doubts: "If you want to see people die in this life, you will see corpses, how can you not do it?"

Zhao Guangling's eyes lit up, patted his thigh and said, "It's strange here!" ”

"The daughter of the Shen family seems to have evaporated from the world, she can't see anyone dead or dead, she can't close the case, and there is no one to witness it, and the gatehouses on all sides have never seen her leave, and the entire palace has also been searched, and she can't be found at all!"

"I also kept a thought, and when I arrived at the Shen family, I asked, then Shen Zhangting still gave the young master a little thin noodles, and when he spoke, he said that the concubine of Zhu Huachi Xinna, the lieutenant of the auxiliary country, was also gone!"

When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous, as if he had opened the corner of a huge black curtain!

Zhao Guangling said at this time, and after a slight pause, he continued: "Master, I feel that things are impermanent, so I will follow the vine and touch the melon, so I inquired, in just two or three years, there have been five or six missing cases in the palace, and each one of them is unsolved, and there is no one alive or dead!" ”

This palace does not only refer to the palace of Chu, strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a group of palaces, many princes and princes of the palace are in this building, the royal city continues to expand, it will occupy most of Wuchang City, there are thousands of descendants of the royal family alone, not to mention the subordinates of those slaves and servants.

It is normal for such a large upper-class community to be full of all kinds of deceit, not to mention the shady deeds that go missing a few people every year, or die unexpectedly, or are bullied and ruined.

However, these people are all missing in the palace, and the situation is the same, so it is very abnormal!

Because from the perspective of criminal investigation and criminology in later generations, especially in terms of crime patterns, it is enough to show that behind these disappearances or homicides, it is very likely that there is a serial murderer hidden!

Li Mi was also a little excited, and couldn't wait to say to Zhao Guangling: "Whose family is the deceased?" ”

Zhao Guangling said to Li Mi: "It's the laundry lady in the Wangfu Huanyi Bureau, she went to each room and courtyard to collect clothes in the morning, and she never came back at night. ”

Zhao Guangling looked extremely excited, and he could hear it from his words, although it was only in the middle of the night, he was indeed obedient and addicted.

Xiong Tingbi questioned at this time: "How can you be sure that the washerwoman is the deceased in the Jixi Hall?" ”

Zhao Guangling was rarely so excited, as if life had meaning again, he even liked the feeling of tracking, he thought it was boring and simple things, he thought it was just something that only a subordinate would do such as catching fast, and after trying it himself, he found it so interesting.

He also enjoyed the feeling of clearing the fog and revealing the truth, which gave him an extreme sense of superiority, as if everyone was a fool and only he saw through everything.

But this Xiong Tingbi always questioned him, which also made Zhao Guangling feel very unhappy, so he said to Xiong Tingbi.

"Almost all of the missing people are young women, but the washerwoman is an old mother, who is comparable to Fang San'er in age and appearance, who else can she be?"

Li Mi had been listening silently, but at this time he spoke: "All young women? ”

Zhao Guangling nodded, and said to Li Mi: "Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case, and these missing people should be virgins!" ”

Zhao Guangling also seemed to be excited about the inside story he had discovered, but Xiong Tingbi deliberately found fault again.

"You say these people don't see people alive or dead?"

"Yes, how are you doing?"

"Since there is no news, how do you know that they are all virgins?"

Zhao Guangling heard Xiong Tingbi's questioning, and said very unhappily: "These women are all young people, and they haven't left the cabinet yet, so they are naturally virgins!" ”

Xiong Tingbi also snorted and said, "How many disgraceful pickles do you princes and nobles have, don't you have a penalty in your heart?" Is it a virgin before you leave the cabinet? Those slaves and maids don't know how much they have been ruined by the male master, but you are thick-skinned, and you can still say such things calmly. ”

In the face of Xiong Tingbi's ridicule, Zhao Guangling was also completely annoyed, although he was also a noble family, although he also knew that what Xiong Tingbi said was not an exaggeration, but when he was proud, Xiong Tingbi repeatedly questioned him, how could Zhao Guangling, who was so arrogant and even looked down on Li Mi, be able to endure it!

"Be careful when you talk to me!"

Saying this, Zhao Guangling was about to be rude, Xiong Tingbi also said to Mai Mang: "You know that I am telling the truth, otherwise you won't be angry, this is a murder case where human life is at stake, but it is not a matter of your son-in-law's playfulness, if you are not completely sure, how can you dare to speak out and mislead Li Mi, and if you go on a business trip, it will implicate people's lives!" ”

I have to say that although Xiong Tingbi questioned Zhao Guangling, his words were extremely reasonable, Zhao Guangling gave people the impression that he was cynical, noble and indifferent, and the lives of the people were like mustard, and he really didn't look like a person who cared about human life.

And what Xiong Tingbi said is also reasonable, this is a murder case where human life is at stake, not a tool to satisfy personal sense of achievement or satisfaction!

was said by Xiong Tingbi, Zhao Guangling's anger was unbearable after all!

"Although I, Zhao Guangling, am cynical, but how can I be a slut of life, earlier there was a county lord in Jiangxia Wangfu who disappeared in the middle of the night, launched a search for many people, and finally came back by himself!"

"Although the county lord can't tell the height and appearance of the murderer, he picked up a life because he is not a virgin, and only I can find out these inside stories, how can you imagine this poor sour!"

When Zhao Guangling said this, even Li Mi was a little surprised, because there are indeed some serial murderers who have special habits and specific target groups.

However, what is puzzling is that serial murderers usually discriminate against women, and women who have lost their virginity are extremely dirty and lowly in their eyes, and many serial murderers in history have targeted prostitutes.

Even if the county lord is not a virgin, the murderer categorically has no reason to put the county lord back, can it be said that the murderer still has compassion? Or is there a special reason for this?

"Brother Guangling, do you think the younger brother can have an interview with the county lord?" In Li Mi's opinion, if you can learn more about it, you may be able to have the most direct understanding of this murderer.

Of course, Li Mi didn't have much hope, and Zhao Guangling's answer was not unexpected, he shook his head and said to Li Mi.

"The county lord is not married yet, and it will inevitably affect his reputation, and it is because the younger brother has a wide range of contacts that he heard the news, and it is impossible to confirm it face to face with the county lord."

Despite this, Zhao Guangling still put forward his own ideas.

"Although we can't visit the county lord, we already know a lot about this murderer, we may be able to find Fang San'er first, and then talk about the rest?"

Xiong Tingbi also grabbed the conversation at this time and said: "I've searched inside and outside here, do you think it's so easy to find?" ”

Zhao Guangling was still about to refute, but Li Mi nodded and said, "Maybe I already know where people are hidden......
