Nangong Yan really wronged Su Wuming this time, that Xiangxiang girl is indeed very beautiful, but Su Wuming really didn't have any thoughts about her, he went to find Xiangxiang girl, but he just wanted to find out the news of Chen Fan and King Di.

"Miss Nangong said there, how can Miss Xiangxiang compare to you, I went to ask about something important." Speaking of this, Su Wuming suddenly felt that something was wrong, he felt that Nangong Yan should believe him, she shouldn't have come to Qinglou because she came to the Qinglou dressed as a man, there must be something that made her come, so without waiting for Nangong Yan to speak, Su Wuming hurriedly asked, "But what happened?" ”

Nangong Yan glanced at Su Wuming: "Not long after you left, the eunuch in the palace came to spread the word, saying that something strange had happened in the palace and wanted to invite you to take a look." ”

After Su Wuming heard this, he frowned slightly, he really didn't understand, what kind of strange thing would happen in the palace?

Su Wuming explained to Nangong Yan, and then walked to the palace alone, he entered the palace, and immediately a eunuch led him to see Gonggong Xi, Gonggong Xi got the order of Emperor Li Yan, and had been waiting for Su Wuming, and after seeing Su Wuming, he told him what happened.

It turned out that last night, a palace maid heard a burst of miserable screams, the screams were very weird, but when I looked for it in the morning, I didn't find anything, and the palace maid told the eunuch in charge of the palace about this matter, and the eunuch felt that this matter might be very strict, and then told the Xi father-in-law, who told the emperor to listen, and the emperor asked Su Wuming to be found to investigate.

After listening to this, Su Wuming felt that if the screams were really there, then this thing was really strange, but if the screams were just the hallucinations of the palace maids, then this matter would be a bit of a farce.

But since he came, Su Wuming felt that it was better to investigate.

Walking through a few mottled palace walls, Su Wuming and Gonggong Xi came to the place where the palace maid heard the screams, which was a garden in the harem, and many flowers in it had begun to decay at this time, but at a glance, it gave people the feeling that it was still purple and red, and only occasionally a few places were verdant.

Father-in-law Xi called the palace maid who heard the scream, the palace maid looked tired, probably she didn't sleep well all night last night, and in addition to being tired, she looked a little in a trance, since she saw Su Wuming, she had been keeping her head down, as if she was scared, and as if she was shy.

Su Wuming glanced at her and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Xiao Cui!"

"You heard screaming last night?"

Xiao Cui nodded: "It's a terrible scream, the voice is low, like crying, and like a sorrowful scream." ”

"Is there anyone else who hears it but you?"

"I asked the other companions in the morning, and they all said that they slept too hard and didn't hear anything, but Master Su, I really listened." Xiao Cui's meaning was very clear, she was not hallucinating, she really heard the screams like crying.

I don't know why, when Su Wuming thought of the scream like crying, he couldn't help but think of the woman's **, isn't the woman's ** voice also crying like a scream?

But in this deep palace, except for the crying and screaming in the emperor's fortunate bedroom, there should be no such sound there, unless there are fake eunuchs in this harem.

But since the last time Su Wuming and Di Bu solved the murder of the palace maid in the palace, Emperor Li Yan has ordered someone to strictly investigate everyone in the harem, so it is unlikely that the matter of fake eunuchs and hiding men will happen.

So, what is that crying scream?

Several people in the garden looked at each other, and no one could tell what was going on.

Su Wuming pondered for a moment, and then said to Xigong: "I want to search this place carefully, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Gonggong Xi nodded: "The emperor asked Lord Su to investigate this matter, and naturally gave Lord Su this right." ”

This garden is not very large, the size of an acre of land, surrounded by a wall, the corner of the wall may be overgrown with wild grass because of negligence, but the inside is very elegant, Su Wuming conducted a carpet search, but the first time he did not find any clues, and when he conducted the second search, he found that in a corner of the wall, there was some soil; The whole garden is full of soil, and it shouldn't seem strange that there is soil in that place, but the soil in that place attracts Hanalang's attention, because the soil in that place is a little loose and a little dry, as if someone sprinkled it, and a few weeds have also been buried by the soil, which is a bit unreasonable.

Hwarang found an attack to rip off the dirt over there, and found a few drops of blood on the buried grass, as well as elsewhere, and it seemed that there had been a massacre here.

After Xiao Cui saw the puddle of blood mixed with mud, she suddenly screamed in fright: "Blood, blood, I just said that it was definitely not an illusion, Xiaohong and the others also said that I was insane,......"

Xiaohong may be Xiaocui's companion, another palace maid, maybe when Xiaocui asked this morning, Xiaohong said her, so when Xiaocui found the bloodstains, she looked a little scared and a little excited, because she could finally fight back against that Xiaohong.

Father-in-law Xi was a little nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Master Su, is this ...... In this palace, there shouldn't be any more murders, right? ”

Su Wuming was still very calm, he glanced at Gonggong Xi, and said calmly: "At this time, we just saw a little blood, and we can't be sure that there will be a murder based on these alone, I don't think it's better to do this, count the number of people in the harem." ”

Counting the number of people is a very troublesome thing, but now at this time, they have to do it.

Gonggong Xi ordered the task of counting the number of people, and at this time, Su Wuming was inquiring.

"Who usually comes into this garden?"

"This garden is very small, usually only some palace maids come in to play, and they are palace maids like Xiaocui and Xiaohong, who live closer to the garden and specialize in taking care of the flowers and plants in the palace, and others should rarely come."

"How many palace maids live very close to this garden?"

"There are about twenty of them, and in addition to being responsible for weeding and planting this garden, they also have to take care of other gardens in the palace."

Su Wuming nodded slightly, but his heart couldn't help but sink, judging from the clues he had now, there was no clue about this matter, and if there was really a clue, it was the more than twenty palace maids who specialized in serving flowers and plants nearby, but there were too many people to ask anything at all.

After about half an hour, the people who counted the number of people came and said that there were no fewer people in the palace, and no one was injured.

The result of the matter is a little disappointing, but it is true, there are no fewer people in the palace, and no one is injured, and it is impossible for people outside the palace to enter the harem.

Father-in-law Xi was a little angry, but he didn't know where to spread this anger, so he finally had to look at Su Wuming and said, "Master Su, what do you say about this now?" ”

Su Wuming pondered for a moment and said, "Things are indeed a little difficult to do, but now we have too few clues, I think it's better to put it down for the time being." When Su Wuming said this, he gave Father-in-law Xi a look, Father-in-law Xi has been around the emperor all the year round, and he is naturally a delicate and transparent person, seeing Su Wuming like this, he immediately understood, and finally sighed and said: "Now this situation, it has to be like this!" ”

Su Wuming nodded, and then he was about to get up and say goodbye, and his father-in-law said that the miscellaneous family would send you.

After the two walked across the palace wall and came to a place where no one was around, Gonggong Xi hurriedly asked, "Master Su, is there anything to do with the miscellaneous family?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "This incident in the palace is indeed very weird, so I don't want to startle the snake for the time being, but I also hope that Gonggong Xi can send a few more people to secretly monitor that garden, maybe when, something similar will happen there, if so, just wait for the rabbit." ”

Father-in-law Xi nodded, and then the two walked towards the palace gate, and at this time, Father-in-law Xi suddenly patted his head and said apologetically: "The miscellaneous family is really confused, and he actually forgot a serious matter, the emperor said, this evening, to give a banquet to the talented sons of the Tang Dynasty, originally the miscellaneous family was going to send someone to the house to inform Lord Su, but because Lord Su came to solve the case, he was ready to tell in person, because of the matter of the case, I almost forgot this." ”

After hearing this, Su Wuming smiled and said, "Okay, this evening, I will definitely come to the banquet on time." ”

After coming out of the palace, Nangong Yan was still waiting in disguise as a man, and when she saw Su Wuming coming out, she immediately greeted her and asked, "What strange things happened in the palace?" ”

Su Wuming told Nangong Yan what happened, and after Nangong Yan heard it, he frowned slightly and said, "There is such a thing in the palace?" It's just that the voice ......" Speaking of this, Nangong Yan suddenly felt a little shy, but she couldn't say any more.

Su Wuming smiled: "It shouldn't be that kind of sound, it may be that someone is injured, or someone may be killed, but the killing may not be very big, after all, it is not easy to hide a corpse in the palace." ”

Hiding a corpse in the palace is not an easy task, but if you want to hide something else, it may not be so difficult.

Su Wuming and Nangong Yan were not in a hurry to go home, it was the twilight of spring and the beginning of summer, I was afraid that it was the last comfortable few days before the summer in Chang'an City, and it was rare for the two of them to be together today, so they were going to walk around, and when it was evening, Su Wuming would go directly to the palace.

And Nangong Yan naturally couldn't ask for being alone with Su Wuming.
