"You, who are you? Why did you kill me? Someone! Ah......h
Blood splattered.
......
At three o'clock in the morning today, the palace suddenly became 'lively' and sent away a part of the troops, and the Zhiyong Regiment and other participants in the mission watched it, but they didn't know what was happening.
After dawn, to avoid panic, and at the same time, in order to smoothly carry out the exchange meeting, the news was completely blocked, but after all, the paper package was not popular, and it was still leaked.
A total of five ministers were killed, one of whom was named Ryudo Shitumen who survived in time due to treatment, but because of his injuries, he was unconscious, and the palace was talking about it.
In the corner of the back garden, the Zhiyong group is discussing today's arrangement.
Ruozhu: "That person took advantage of the minister's sleeping soundness and was unprepared, it seems that it was premeditated, not a whim." Because a portion of our forces are being sent to guard the survivors, we and other mission participants will inevitably be requisitioned, to the detriment of our investigation. We can't act rashly until the matter is settled, and I think the only way is to send someone to look for clues, which will help us in the future. I think that the minister has a heavy force and will not be attacked so quickly, so he can go to the other four's rooms first. I have long been targeted by the people of the palace because of my powerful magic power, once I leave, it will definitely cause suspicion, and Xiao Lei has been suffering from a fever since he came back yesterday, as his father, I have to take care of him and can't leave, Malsham is the captain of the Zhiyong Regiment, so naturally I can't leave, Grande is helping us in secret, Taslow and Jirek are more careless, so the best candidate is Li Wan'er. ”
"Okay."
With the help of everyone, Li Wan'er took care of everything, left the palace in a hurry, and successfully found the victim's home according to the list of ministers stolen by Ruozhu.
Because the victim's family was busy with funerals and had no time to pay attention to Li Wan'er, she easily entered the room.
"This person is so rich, just this small purple sand tea set on the table is worth a few hundred gold coins." Li Wan'er took the purple clay pot and looked at it, the tea in it had not been changed, she tried the poison.
"It doesn't seem to have drugged and stunned, this man is a bit cunning, probably coming in through the window."
Li Wan'er came to the window, and there was really any dirt left, the lock on the window had been broken, not rusty, and it seemed that it had been pried before.
"Break the lock beforehand, and when the minister is asleep, push the window in, even if the minister finds the man, it will be too late, like catching a turtle in an urn."
She closed her eyes and imagined the assassination scene, and then lay on the bed looking for something, if she didn't look for it, it was nothing, this time it made Li Wan'er uncomfortable, and the minister was scared before he was killed.
She covered her nose and got out of bed, but found no clues until she came to the room of the last deceased.
This place has been cleaned by the subordinates, Li Wan'er thought that there would be no harvest, she found a black button at the foot of the bed, just when she wanted to think carefully, someone pushed the door in, she hid under the bed, it turned out that two subordinates came to the room to put chrysanthemums, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"This person is innocent of death, and he molested his subordinates a few days ago, and he died this morning."
"Don't talk about it, this room is very cloudy, let's go quickly."
Li Wan'er came out from under the bed, pinched her chin and said, "Do things for heaven or do you have another secret?" It's not too early, I'd better go find the Dragon Hall Shitumen, maybe I can find something in him. ”
When she came to the Longtang Shitumen Mansion, the inner and outer three floors were full of soldiers, and Li Wan'er was worried and couldn't get in at all. Not far away, more than a dozen white cars came, and Li Wan'er had an idea.
When the white team talked to the people in the house, she immediately knocked out the people in the white team and blended in.
Entering the mansion, this place is several times better than the mansion of any minister, and even the clothes of the subordinates are a little more noble than those in the families of the previous ministers.
Li Wan'er followed at the end of the team, looked around, and slipped out of the team while no one was paying attention.
The mansion was too big, she got lost, and then she heard footsteps, and she quickly hid.
Subordinate A: "You know what? The ministers who were killed were all extremely evil, including our lord, molesting women from good families, looting people's money, embezzlement, and dozens of lives in their hands, most of them were ordinary people with no power and no money. ”
Person B: "No, my sister almost committed suicide because of her master, and she will always be punished for her many evils." ”
Subordinate A: "The wall has ears, let's go quickly, not to mention that now the top and bottom are all working for him, and it is said that he will not survive tonight, so Mrs. even invited the 'white matter'." ”
"Let's go, let's go, it's okay if you don't say it, I have chills in my back when you say it."
......
Li Wan'er didn't dare to blatantly ask the minister's room in the mansion, so she could only sneakily look around.
"Hey! What are you doing sneaking around! A soldier caught her.
Li Wan'er lowered her head, her hand was already on her waist, and she could draw a knife and run away if she had a situation: "I'm lost." ”
"Lost? Keep your head up! ”
Li Wan'er was a little reluctant, and the soldier put a knife on her neck when she saw this.
The person in the back grabbed her, it was the head of the white thing: "Hey, I'm looking for you, why did you come here!" Come with me! ”
He pulled Li Wan'er away from the soldiers.
On the way: "You were still introduced by an acquaintance, I knew that you were so unruly, even if you lacked manpower, you should not be taken in a hurry, Madame is already waiting for us at the door of the Minister of the First Earth Gate of Longtang, act quickly!" ”
Just what she wanted.
......
The white people knelt at the door, and the lady stood guard by the bedside, but she was not sad or uncomfortable.
Li Wan'er poked her head inward, it stands to reason that Madame should remove the headdress and jewelry, as well as wear plain clothes, but on the contrary, she was dressed up in a fancy way, and the gold and silver jewelry did not fall, especially the bright clothes were particularly eye-catching.
This made her feel very strange, and when she looked closely, she saw that her face was delicate, her body was well-proportioned, and her skin was smooth, and she looked like a girl in her twenties.
This lady turned out to be the minister's fifth room, and the first few rooms were suspended because of old age and decay, or reduced to the status of a subordinate, and it seems that she is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Okay, who of you will guard, I'm tired, it's time to rest." Madame looked at the white people kneeling outside the door and yawned.
"I'll come." In order to observe better, Li Wan'er took the initiative to enter the room.
Madame nodded, and never asked again.
Li Wan'er knelt beside the bed, the person on the bed had a fat head and big ears, and a greasy face, which was not the point, the point was that an unpleasant smell wafted into her nose, a rotten smell.
She cautiously looked around, and then someone came in, the two who had just been talking about the minister.
They came to the bedside with the extremely strong smell of flowers in their hands.
"I'll help you." Li Wan'er stood up, "Madame has already agreed that I will stay here." ”
The subordinates had no doubts, and gave all the flowers in their hands to Li Wan'er, and it seemed that the subordinates had long been dissatisfied with the minister.
These flowers were used to cover his stench.
Li Wan'er slowly placed the flowers around the minister, she tested the minister's breathing, it was very weak, and the pulse beat slowly, because the body was obese, no wonder she couldn't wake up, excessive obesity equaled weakness, she thought to herself, it seems that she doesn't have to wait for that person to assassinate the minister, the minister will naturally burp.
After arranging the flowers, Li Wan'er saw that the white things had been lowering their heads, so she simply gambled and began to search in the room.
As in the previous accidents, the killer broke the lock of the window in advance, and entered the window in the middle of the night, and the blood stains on the side of the bed have been cleaned up, but if you look closely, you will still find one or two drops of dried blood splashed on the wall.
There is no trace of rummaging through the contents of the house, and it seems that the purpose is to take a life.
Li Wan'er combined with what the subordinates had said before, and learned that these people were more or less incompetent and oppressed the people, and there were countless subordinates in front of and behind the mansion, and the words 'magnificent' were full of the words 'magnificent', which was the abbreviation of these things.
There was movement outside, and she quickly knelt beside the bed, keeping her head as low as possible.
"Get up." It was Madame's voice.
Li Wan'er stepped aside, it turned out that someone had come to visit the minister.
Li Wan'er glanced up, but she was frightened, it turned out to be Wushuang, she thought to herself that she must be finished, she was still a palace maid a few days ago, but today it became a vain thing to appear in the minister's mansion.
However, Wushuang didn't trouble her, just glanced at her and smiled and didn't speak, Li Wan'er didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Madame threw away her flattering eyes: "The tired young master has come to visit my master." ”
"Madam, you are polite, the minister of Longtang Shitumen is the palace master's right-hand man, because the palace master has important things to do, and he can't get out to visit, so he sent me to understand the minister's situation."
Because Wushuang is a well-known beautiful man here, plus a high position, she personally poured tea for Wushuang, pretending to be overworked and wanted to fall into his arms, the purpose was to seduce Wushuang, but she didn't expect Wushuang to dodge her.
"Why don't you help Madame go back to her room to rest." Wushuang looked at the maid behind his wife and said.
"Yes."
Madame didn't expect Wushuang to reject her, so she went out angrily.
......
"Long time no see, Li Wan'er."
"Hehehehe." Li Wan'er thought to herself, why didn't they see each other yesterday for a long time.
"Why are you here too? Could it be that this minister has something else to do with you? ”
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I don't want to have anything to do with him." Li Wan'er frowned, a little annoyed.
"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding."
......
"Run!" The white man outside suddenly shouted, and everyone ran away.
"What's wrong!" Li Wan'er ran out of the door, and at the same time a black shadow flashed in, Li Wan'er didn't have time to react, Wushuang had already been hit by the masked man's sword, the minister's head was cut off, Li Wan'er held Wushuang, and the masked man had escaped through the window.
"Peerless! Unparalleled! Li Wan'er shouted, and Wushuang slowly closed her eyes and fainted.
Strange to say, it was clear that there were soldiers everywhere, and it took so long to enter the door, and no one must have known that it was too late, and the prisoners had already fled.
......
A room like no other.
Because Li Wan'er was an eyewitness, she was left to take care of Wushuang, and Wushuang did not hurt the vital point, so she woke up quickly.
"You all go down, Miss Wan'er will take care of me, and by the way I have to ask her what happened after I fainted."
"Yes, young master."
The servant took the door of the room with interest.
"Wushuang, what do you mean? Nothing, I'll go first. ”
Wushuang took her hand and smiled evilly: "Wait a minute, change into the clothes I prepared for you and leave, otherwise I will inform the palace master of your 'doing'." ”
"Okay!" Li Wan'er gritted her teeth and said.
This is a long dress, Li Wan'er put down her hair and went to the inner room, and when she came out again, Wushuang had already gotten out of bed.
Wushuang looked at her like this, and his face turned red.
"If you really rely on clothes and horses and saddles, you see that you are even better looking than before, more like a woman."
"Now I can go." Li Wan'er was a little speechless.
"Yes."
Before Li Wan'er stepped out of the door, she was pulled back into her arms by Wushuang, and he said, "It's a pity that I couldn't meet you earlier." ”
"Fool!" Li Wan'er gave him a kick and ran back to the palace.
......
Ruozhu: "Wan'er, how is the investigation?" ”
Gran studied Li Wan'er's clothes and said, "When did you buy such a dress, this fabric, this workmanship, it is worth a lot at a glance." ”
Marsham: "Don't interrupt Gran, let Wan'er speak." ”
Li Wan'er took a sip of water and said, "From the mouths of their servants, I know that these people are more or less related to the oppression of the people, greed, and the Longtang Shitumen is dead, and his head has been cut off. ”
Ruozhu clicked on the system and sent the data of these ministers to them.
"If it's really not out of nowhere, these data are enough to prove the truth of their mouths."
Some of the information of the dead ministers was stolen by Ruozhu, and most of them were records of corruption and oppression, and some things were even unsightly......
Ruozhu continued: "The reason why the killer cut off the minister's head is because I think it is a warning to us, after all, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and he can see our every move clearly. As for why they killed five people in a row, I think I can't wait, you see, although these five people have different official positions and different management, they often meet in private, which is too frequent, there must be some ulterior secrets, as for the prisoner, he is definitely not the real murderer behind the scenes, and the murderer behind the scenes must be more powerful than anyone here. ”
Taslow and Gilrick came to them.
Taslo: "Jirek and I went to collect the opinions of the people around us, and there were mixed reviews, but the most common was the abuse of power, which seemed to be a threat to the whole palace. ”
Gilrick: "This is a list of other ministers related to these five ministers, one of them is Wutu Sanhui, Wutu Sanhui has strengthened its guards because of the last incident, it is said that when these five ministers were killed, the dog in Wutu Sanhui's house barked non-stop, which is very strange. ”
Ruozhu: "I think Wutu Sanhui must be on the murderer's death list, but not yet. I think the murderer has solved so many people in one go this time, and he will definitely not act rashly again, and the next few days will be calm, and when everyone relaxes, he will attack again. So ......"
"So what?"
Everyone looked at Ruozhu.
"So let's go to the hot springs today and relax."
Everyone laughed and agreed.
The reason turned out to be that Ruozhu said that taking advantage of Xiao Lei's health in the hot springs.
Ruozhu was right, because this incident caused a lot of uproar, and guards were strengthened everywhere, so they spent the week quietly.
It has been more than half a month since the calculation of the time, because the murderer behind the scenes has not moved, and the Zhiyong Group naturally has no clues to find, and the others have forgotten about this stubble.
Because of idleness, the participants in this mission specially organized a competition, and of course, the people in the Zhiyong Regiment would always intervene if they couldn't bear it......
