Early in the morning.

After a few people got acquainted with it, they all walked to the prime minister's mansion, and there was only one official with such a high position as the prime minister in the entire Lizhou, so that they didn't need a few of them to look for it, and after inquiring at random, they saw the mansion covered with white cloth.

This person died like a lamp going out, but the survivor always felt the need to give the deceased a more decent funeral, not to mention that this person was still a former prime minister, and the whole mansion seemed to be shrouded in sadness.

"How many people don't know what's going on? Now we don't have any visitors in this house. ”

The doorman guarding the door saw that Gu Chenghan and the others were dressed a little differently, and couldn't help but step forward to respectfully doorway.

The identity of his own master, even if he is alive and dead now, there are a lot of people who come to mourn, most of them are distinguished guests, and the doorman naturally does not dare to offend easily.

"This is Lord Gu of Tiandu Mansion, and when he heard that the prime minister had fallen, he specially came from the capital to see the prime minister for the last time."

Yu Linglong stepped forward and said to the doorman, there is no other prime minister in the court of Chifeng Kingdom now, so even if this person has resigned and returned to his hometown, he still calls himself a prime minister.

After hearing this, the doorman bowed respectfully and turned around and walked in, after all, he had been serving the prime minister's family in the capital, and the servants of the old family in Lizhou had already been dismissed, so the doorman hurriedly walked in after hearing the name of Tiandu Mansion.

Because there are still wounds on his body, Zhen Chutian has always stayed in the middle of several people, and his face has been smeared with some rouge gouache when he goes out, it doesn't look so pale, but he still walks a little vainly.

Han Shuangyi looked at everything in front of him with wide eyes and was a little curious, and when he came, he already knew that the mansion they came to was a big man who had died, and he had always been well-behaved, and he couldn't see anything else.

The doorman was quick, and a moment later he came out with a man.

"The person who came is Lord Gu from Tiandu Mansion?"

With the doorman came out was an old man about fifty years old, although the old man looked a little older, but the movements under his feet looked a little vigorous, walking fast but not a little swaying.

"Yes, you are?"

This person was a little familiar, and Yu Linglong couldn't help but ask.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and smiled at Yu Linglong, who spoke, "The old man is not talented, he is the housekeeper of Prime Minister Lizhou's hometown now, but now that our master is no more, the old lady wants to come out to greet Lord Gu, but she is not feeling well, and I hope that Lord Gu will not blame." ”

The prime minister is still in the world, so naturally he doesn't need so much etiquette, but now that the person has passed away, even the eldest son who took the prime minister with him has also gone, and the people in front of him are not what they can do now, and the old man naturally knows these things in his heart.

"You're welcome, I don't know if the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion has some relationship with you?"

This was said by Gu Chenghan.

"Presumably this one is Lord Gu, if he is really a young talent, his appearance is extraordinary, Lord Gu has a good eye, the original housekeeper is my brother, but my brother is unfortunate and left before the villain."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but lower his head, looking very sad.

"I just felt a little familiar, so I asked like this, if there is any rudeness, please Haihan."

Gu Chenghan said while following behind the housekeeper.

Gu Chenghan's identity can be said to be high, and if he can apologize to a small housekeeper so carelessly, the housekeeper naturally didn't dare to accept it, so he took Gu Chenghan and a few people to the mourning hall all the way.

The old lady was kneeling in the middle, and there were two coffins in the arranged mourning hall, which were not like the coffins I had seen before, and the coffins of the prime minister and the prime minister's eldest son were all unsealed.

Before the old lady could speak, Gu Chenghan and the others knelt down by themselves, took the incense on the side and lit it and inserted it.

Seeing Gu Chenghan so polite, the old woman hurriedly got up and helped Gu Chenghan up, but her eyes were slowly flushed, as if she had been crying for a long time.

"A few adults are here."

After the incense, the old woman took Gu Chenghan and a few people into the side room, and had already prepared tea, and the old woman led Zhen Chutian and a few people to sit down.

"The dog is incompetent, I told the old woman before that I had already reported to the court, and the court appointed the adults of Tiandu Mansion to investigate the affairs of my lord, but the dog was also poisoned, the lord and the dog died too miserably, the old woman is here to affirm that the adults will return my lord and the dog a clean slate!"

The old woman was about to kneel down as she spoke, but was stopped by Yu Linglong's quick eyes.

"Madame doesn't have to be like this, it's our business to investigate the prime minister's case, and Madame doesn't have to make this big gift."

"Your lords can come in person is the blessing of my lord, it doesn't take long to be able to avenge the grievances, my lord is really too miserable, the coffin of the mourning hall has not been closed until today is this reason, my lord... Hey, it's a bit hard to say, so let's take a look at it when you rest for a while. ”

As if she was afraid, the old lady's body trembled when she mentioned the prime minister's corpse, which made Zhen Chutian a little strange, but a little helpless who didn't know the truth.

"No need, we'll go now, it's just that we are not used to investigating the case and there are others at the scene, I don't know if the old lady can dismiss the servants of the mourning hall one by one, if there are some difficulties, one or two can be left."

Gu Chenghan glanced at Zhen Chutian behind him, the two smiled at each other, Gu Chenghan knew what Zhen Chutian meant, and couldn't help but turn his head to the old lady and said, the original intention was to take care of Zhen Chutian's body, but he couldn't take care of it when he thought about it, Zhen Chutian naturally wouldn't let them take care of it like this, as expected.

Gu Chenghan started to act this time, which was something that the old lady couldn't ask for, so after Gu Chenghan's words, he hurriedly agreed, and sent someone to take Zhen Chutian and a few people to the mourning hall, and ordered no one to enter the mourning hall, so he went back with peace of mind.

The action was so neat that several people were stunned, but it was a joy to be able to get started quickly, but this little joy came up again after seeing the bodies of the two people lying in the coffin.

The coffin made of fine pear blossom wood, coupled with some special preservation methods, the corpse did not have any traces of decay, but the body was stiff and expressionless, probably in a high position for a long time, and the body of the prime minister with an expressionless face did not have the original little kindness and kindness, and some only calm.

The intact corpse made several people a little suspicious of what the old lady said before, after all, the people in the coffin in front of them didn't see any misery at all.

Hearing this, Zhen Chutian stepped forward and took a few steps, unbuttoning some of the clothes that he was originally wearing on the corpse, and before he could make any more big moves, he was stopped by Gu Chenghan.

"Ahem, just let them come to this kind of thing, you still have injuries on your body, if you have anything to say, you don't need to do it."

looked at Zhen Chutian and coughed fakely, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood, and explained clearly.

Zhen Chutian didn't feel any discomfort when he heard this, and even obediently stepped back a little, after all, no matter how well the corpse was preserved, it would still come out with a putrid smell.

Han Shuangyi was already bouncing around and didn't know what he was looking at, and he naturally knew that he couldn't disturb Zhen Chutian and the others at this time, after all, it was important to solve the case.

probably early in the morning, I felt that Gu Chenghan and his party would want to see the traces on the corpse, and the clothes handed down to the prime minister by the government were also relatively loose, and there was no need to waste too much effort to toss this corpse.

Yu Linglong and Bai Long made the two of them tear open the clothes of a corpse, and the identical scars on the corpse were in the same place, and there was no trace of anything else.

"Just a scar?"

Zhen Chutian was a little surprised when he heard this, and stepped forward to take a look, while Han Shuangyi was even more surprised.

"But didn't I hear Brother Linglong say that their death was a little strange? How so? Could it be that the information is wrong? ”

Said innocently, and said with little hands still pulling at the crack in the door.

How can it be said that the coffin is also a corpse, Rao is how smart Han Shuangyi is, and the few of them can't pick up Han Shuangyi to take a look, after all, the person in front of him is too young.

Zhen Chutian didn't say much, although Han Shuangyi's words were the child's innocent words, they were also what Zhen Chutian thought, but looking at Gu Chenghan's appearance, presumably the empress would not hide anything from them because of this matter, so I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as they thought before.

Father and son were killed one after another, and even this scar is the same!

"Let's go, let's go to the prime minister's room and have a look."

The corpse in the coffin, at this time, I can't see anything, it's better to go somewhere else to take a look, and then walked out, probably at the beginning I didn't feel right, because the old lady protected the scene very completely, and there was almost no trace of destruction, but after entering the room, several people had some bad premonitions.

The old man was desperately at the desk, and what Zhen Chutian saw at a glance was the hole in the window that seemed to have been broken by a sharp arrow.

"This is the arrow feather stuck in the corpse of the old man."

After Zhen Chutian and the others left the mourning hall, the housekeeper followed behind the few people, and as soon as they entered the room, the housekeeper gave Gu Chenghan the sheared feathers wrapped in brocade placed on the side.

"Arrow Feather?"

Gu Chenghan took it and opened it to take a look, it was an extremely ordinary golden arrow, and even the arrow could not see any traces of being poisoned.

"Is there such a golden arrow in Childe's room?"

Zhen Chutian asked with a little affirmation, the traces on the two of them are almost the same, presumably there should be something here and there.

Sure enough, the butler nodded, "Yes, indeed." ”

When they heard this, they stopped talking, but walked quietly in the house.

Because of the need to protect the scene, no one has come in since the prime minister's death, and the house is slowly falling into ashes, "There is a corpse examined, and it is said that the cause of the prime minister's death is also due to poisoning, and it is very likely that it is not only from sharp arrows and poison, but also for other reasons." ”

Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian staring at the teacup on the table with some confusion, and couldn't help but speak.

Before he came, he didn't tell Zhen Chutian about the details of the case, but at this time, seeing that Zhen Chutian didn't see something quite right, he couldn't help but speak.

Zhen Chutian nodded when he heard this, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, if it was really like what Gu Chenghan had just thought, then there would be no clues in the case room at all.

Not to mention the situation on the day of the crime, some dust has accumulated in the following days, and it is impossible to see it.

The arrow was wrapped in brocade, and the traces on the arrow were long gone.

It doesn't seem to have found anything, but there's nothing to see on the face.
