Chapter 11: Time of Death
When the two of them were examining the body, Miao Miaomiao got some information.
The deceased's name was Ye Fan, and in his early years, he specially cultivated flowers for the royal family.
He had no children and only a niece who occasionally came to take care of him.
"It hasn't rained during this time, and I see that most of these flowers are dead...... Si Yubai picked a dried flower casually, twisted it gently, and instantly turned it into powder.
Miao Miaomiao observed a pot of thick-leaved plants for a long time, and then stretched out her paws and pinched its leaves: "This pot of fleshy flowers is not dead yet, but the leaves at the bottom are already soft, and there are no dead leaves. β
"Little thing, it seems that you also know a lot about plants~" Si Yubai also squatted down and pinched the leaves.
"What did she say?" Si Detective Xing, who was not far away, watched the interaction between this person and a cat.
"Why did I tell you what I told me?" Si Yubai picked up the black cat as he spoke, "I can't find any valuable clues here, so let's let Jingzhao Mansion come over and deal with it." β
"Are we going back?"
The man lowered his voice, "Of course, we'll have to be one step ahead of that iceface." β
"But our horse ......," Miao Miaomiao reminded helplessly, "Are you sure you can go back before dark?" β
β¦β¦
On the ancient road surrounded by green bamboo, a brown-red horse trotted.
There were two men on horseback, one black and one white, which was particularly eye-catching.
It's just that one of them has a particularly bad face.
"I said, Master, we are asking for help, don't always put on a stinky face."
What if one of them is not happy and just leaves them in this wilderness?
Si Yubai didn't speak, pinned his face to the side, leaned back, and tried not to make contact with the person in front of him.
"Look at your awkwardness." Miao Miaomiao yawned and prepared to continue sleeping.
"Phewβ"
The horse was suddenly startled and began to kick in a panic, but fortunately, Si Detective Xing quickly restrained it.
Miao Miaomiao's sleepy insect was also gone, and she poked her head out to look ahead.
I saw a group of people suddenly rushing out in front of the road, and the man led by him had a fierce face and round eyes.
"You've appeared! Si Yubai! β
The man's voice was loud, and he also called Si Yubai by his name, and it seemed that his status was not low.
"Master, didn't you say that others would be frightened when they saw the sign of Si Yu Mansion? How can anyone still call you by your old man's name? β
Si Yubai pressed the black cat's head into the placket: "Sleep well on yours." β
Si Detective Xing, who was riding in front of the horse, shouted to the opposite side: "Iron Lord! Xia Guan still has an important case, please borrow a road! β
It turns out that the other party is a prince, no wonder......
Miao Miaomiao secretly revealed one eye.
"Dasi investigates the case, and the king naturally doesn't dare to stop it, but Dasiyu wants to stay."
Si Detective Xing tilted his head slightly, and glanced at the man behind him with his spare eyes: "Can the lower official know what the reason is?" β
"Why?" The Iron Lord made a gesture, and the guards behind him immediately stepped forward and unfurled the flag.
The four big words of "competition to recruit relatives" appeared in front of them.
Detective Xing Jian frowned, his face puzzled.
"Si Yubai! If you get into the ring and win the competition, you should be my son-in-law! β
The Iron King's voice was like a bell, and Si Zhenxing felt the man behind him tremble.
"Master...... You seem to have messed with someone you shouldn't be messing with......"
"Shut up."
Iron Lord sneered: "Si Yubai, if it weren't for your current position as the Great Si Yu, Lao Tzu would really not look down on you!" β
The man in white was overjoyed: "That's great!" The lower official felt that he was indeed not worthy of the county lord! Say goodbye, say goodbye! β
"Huh! It's just that you won the ring in public, and you dared to run away from the marriage in public! Now the whole Chang'an is looking at my **** joke! If you don't come with me, I'll let people tie you up! β
Iron Lord threatened, and Si Yubai was instantly irrefutable.
"Master, did you just give up struggling?" Miao Miaomiao raised her head and looked at him with round eyes.
"Good apprentice, you follow Si Zhenxing and go into the palace to find the emperor to save him as a teacher." With that, he picked up the black cat and stuffed it into the arms of the black-robed man.
When you don't need it, call someone a little thing, and when you ask someone, call someone a good person......
Looking at the man who was taken away after dismounting, Miao Miaomiao's heart welled up with worry.
"Master! Be careful! β
The man paused, turned back and looked at her deeply, as if he was about to die.
At this time, Miao Miaomiao felt a hot gaze burning her.
When she raised her eyes, Si Detective Xing was staring at her intently.
"What do you see? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful cat? β
"Can cats really talk?"
"Huh?? Do you understand me?! β
β¦β¦
"Your Majesty! You have to save my master! β
A black cat burst into tears and rushed into the Zichen Palace, followed by a black-robed man.
"Si Yubai abducted you so that you didn't see a shadow all day, why do you still know that you came back and let me save him?" Li Xuanshen looked at the music calmly.
Miao Miaomiao guessed that he already knew about it, so she had to sigh and wipe her tears: "If Your Majesty is unwilling to save it, then ...... Then I'd be happy to have another teacher. β
"Your Majesty." Detective Xing saluted, "Ye Fan is dead, the clue is broken, if Da Si Yu is married now, the minister will have one less helper, and this serial murder case will be difficult to solve as scheduled." β
"What does Aiqing mean?"
"The minister requested that the wedding be postponed and that it will be carried out as scheduled after the case is solved."
Miao Miaomiao looked at Si Zhenxing in disbelief, she didn't expect this man's belly to be so big.
Her master, Si Yubai, secretly didn't stumble on him.
Li Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Accurate." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What are you doing in a daze?" The man's displeasure came from the seat.
"Huh?" The black cat's ears twitched unconsciously.
"Come here."
"Okay!"
Miao Miaomiao jumped on the table very spinelessly, tilting her head and rubbing his palm.
The emperor wants to serve well, what if he is unhappy and sentences her to death one day?
"The minister retired." The black-robed man withdrew from the hall with a "look".
β¦β¦
Iron King's Mansion.
The palace guards are guarded layer by layer, and those who don't know still think that they are guarding against thieves!
After Si Yubai drank the fifth cup of tea, he finally couldn't help it, got up and walked outside the house.
"Click." Two knives lay in front of him.
"Two, I want to get rid of it, don't you need this?" He looked at them helplessly.
When the two guards heard this, they looked at each other and put their knives down.
"Thank you." Si Yubai raised his feet and was about to walk out, but a metal object was stuffed in his arms.
When I looked down, it was a urinal.
"Boom."
Another guard brought the toilet in.
"This ...... The Iron Lord doesn't need this......" The man was stunned for a moment, frowning and throwing the urinal on the ground.
The two guards didn't say a word and just closed the door.
Leave the man in the room with these two containers.
