Chapter 175: Something Happened
The sky was dark, Su Wanqing and Pei Xiu sat in the fast-driving carriage, looking out the window side by side.
The man in black sat outside the carriage to catch the car, in order not to bump into the pair of people in the carriage, the man in black carefully controlled his strength, so that the carriage did not go fast or slow.
It was still some way from dawn, but they had been driving for almost an hour. In order to save time on the road, Pei Xiu ordered everyone to get up early in the morning and hurry.
As subordinates, the men in black naturally wouldn't say anything, and Yao Lao and Xu Che wouldn't say anything. They all knew that the Six Princes and the Six Princesses had already broken their hearts for the matter of these two nameless corpses, and they should have solved the case earlier. Besides, they also want to end this sooner rather than later, and then leave this hellish place.
Who likes to spend their days with corpses?
But in fact, the two nameless corpses had also been "packed" by the man in black according to Pei Xiu, to be precise, according to Su Wanqing's instructions, and passed with them.
In Muxi Village, near the small fishing village, Su Wanqing also sent the man in black to inquire about the situation before leaving. Although the body was found by the people of Muxi Village, in fact, they knew nothing else, just a discoverer. Su Wanqing is not too hopeful that Muxi Village can find any clues, although Muxi Village is not far from the small fishing village, but according to the modern distance, it is at least nearly ten kilometers, and the wind and sand here are very large, and it is not suitable to ride a carriage to walk through.
Because the wind and sand here are easy to get confused, even if you ride by a carriage, you will not be able to find the direction, and it is even easy to get lost in it, and it is difficult to find the way out.
Therefore, Su Wanqing believes that if this is the case, the murder cannot happen in Muxi Village. Although the distance between the two places is not very far, if you want to carry the corpse here, you must still need the power of a carriage or something. Otherwise, the corpse would not have been so well preserved, and the clothes on it would not have been so clean.
It is obviously impossible to carry it by hand. Even if the man behind the scenes had transported the two bodies to the small fishing village and sorted them out, their clothes were too clean, and there was no trace of sand in their hair, so this idea would not work.
Fortunately, Su Wanqing found an important clue on the clothes of one of the corpses, that strange leaf. Perhaps it was because the leaf was so ordinary and so small that the person behind the curtain didn't notice it. And Su Wanqing just discovered it by mistake.
But no matter what, there is only one clue in front of her, and Su Wanqing will naturally not let it go easily no matter what. In some places, how do you know what kind of scenery it is without walking? It's like there are some things that you can never solve if you don't do them.
For Su Wanqing, everything may be difficult at the beginning, but as long as you are willing to work hard, or work hard to let go, you may get different results.
Regarding the two corpses, Su Wanqing's attitude was the same. If she had given up so easily, she would not have found that leaf in the future, let alone known about the place of Piaomei Lake.
The carriage drove unhurriedly, and arrived at Piaomei Lake at noon when the sun was hot. Before Su Wanqing got out of the carriage, she had already smelled bursts of plum blossoms.
The weather has long since cooled, autumn has come to an end, winter is beckoning everyone, and it is the season of snow that is about to be ushered in. Su Wanqing has never seen real snow on this land. She is still looking forward to this thing.
I don't know how the snow in the sky is different from the modern snow. Although the temperature difference between the four seasons of Tianli Country is basically not large, in the place of Piaomei Lake, because it is located in a relatively remote place, it is almost beyond the scope of Tianli Country, so the temperature here is still a certain difference compared to the local temperature of Tianli Country.
Since this place is known as Piaomei Lake, it is naturally full of plum blossoms.
After Su Wanqing got out of the carriage, Pei Xiu also got out of the carriage with her "support", and then got into her own exclusive wheelchair.
Su Wanqing pushed Pei Xiu, looked at everything in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
In front of her, a huge lake was scattered in front of her, the crystal clear water, the shallow sunlight of the water, almost making people unable to open their eyes.
As far as the eye can see, there is a sparkling scene. Occasionally, a few fish leap up from the surface of the water and then quickly fall into the lake, as if playing hide and seek with the people on the shore. Because of their mischievous movements, the originally calm surface of the lake also rippled slightly, slowly spreading out to the surroundings.
What makes Su Wanqing most excited is the plum trees planted around this huge lake. The temperature here is not high, the plum trees grow very vigorously, according to Su Wanqing's visual observation, at least there are dozens of plum trees planted, or even hundreds. It's like a plum grove, and as the wind blows, some of the delicate plum blossoms tremble, and some of them don't stand.
When another gust of wind blows, they can't control their thin bodies and are forced to fall into the lake. On the edge of the lake, there are almost plum blossoms floating one after another, which add a touch of unique scenery to this sparkling lake.
Su Wanqing only realized at this time that it was no wonder that this place was called Piaomei Lake, and it really lived up to its name.
She couldn't help but say: "The plum blossoms here are so beautiful and beautiful, and I don't know who is taking care of them behind the scenes, it's really not easy to take care of so many plum trees!" ”
The man in black looked at Su Wanqing's admiring expression, and couldn't help but explain: "Sixth princess, no one is taking care of this behind your back, these plum trees are all wild!" The climate of this place is very peculiar, and the climate of the country is different, if the six princesses come here in the hot summer, you will still find that the plum blossoms here can bloom vigorously! ”
Su Wanqing looked at the man in black with some surprise, and then said, "Aren't plum blossoms blooming only in winter?" Why do plum blossoms bloom even in summer? ”
The man in black showed a smile, although his face towel completely blocked his face and couldn't see it at all, Su Wanqing could still see his bent eyes.
I only heard the man in black say: "This is the peculiarity of Piaomei Lake, it is said that there is ice under here, but I haven't really seen it below." Anyway, the climate here is different from the outside, and as for what has been the continuation of the blooming of these plum blossoms, it is not very clear below. ”
Su Wanqing nodded thoughtfully, if there is ice underneath, it will be another matter. After all, if there is ice underneath the ground, it is likely to be a very important factor in maintaining a constant temperature, otherwise the plum blossoms would not bloom at all in the scorching sun.
Perhaps, this ice layer played a crucial role.
But right now, this is not the time to admire these plum blossoms.
Su Wanqing looked at Yao Lao and said, "Yao Lao, the place where the leaf you said grows, is it in this place?" ”
Yao Lao touched his white beard, and then replied: "Sixth Imperial Princess, according to the records in the book, this kind of leaf does grow near Piaomei Lake, but where it is, Xiao Lao'er is not clear, and he still needs to look for it." ”
Su Wanqing nodded, and said to the man in black: "Then you will order to go down, send more people, and look for it near this Piaomei Lake, first see if we can find this kind of leaf, and then we will take a look at the situation in detail." After all, the Merlin here is too big, and it should take a lot of time to walk down in a circle, so let's split up. You go to the west, and Xiu and I go to the east. ”
The man in black agreed with Su Wanqing's words, this Piaomei Lake, the lake alone is already very large, and the plum forest blooms around it, and there are many places to cover it.
However, if we act separately, what if something happens?
The man in black voiced his concerns.
"Sixth Princess, wouldn't it be safe for you to act with the Six Princes? If the person behind the curtain found out about us, he would have stayed here in advance, and he would be worried that the Six Princes and the Six Princesses would encounter accidents......
Su Wanqing shook her head and said with a smile: "No, don't worry, the man behind the scenes shouldn't have known that we found here." After all, he didn't notice the leaves on the clothes at all, so there would be no problem. Besides, if something happens, I also have the function of self-preservation, and you don't have to underestimate your sixth prince, he is amazing. ”
Since Su Wanqing said this, the man in black naturally didn't dare to say anything, nodded hurriedly, and pulled his subordinates to another place.
Yao Lao and Xu Che were not at odds, and the two of them naturally would not come together.
Therefore, Yao Lao didn't care about Xu Che and went in the other direction alone.
He muttered to himself as he walked, "Where do I always feel the smell of this leaf?" ”
Xu Che looked at Yao Lao's back, and after a while, he also turned around and looked elsewhere.
Su Wanqing pushed Pei Xiu and slowly moved in one direction, she was not idle, looking around to see if she could see that kind of pale yellow leaf.
But after looking around, there was a lot of tender green all around, most of which were ordinary grasses, and I didn't see the kind of grass that looked a little strange.
But Su Wanqing is not in a hurry at the moment, since she is here, I believe that it will only be a matter of time before she finds evidence, and she is not in a hurry now. Besides, with the help of the men in black, they should soon be able to search this place.
Not long after they walked out, the man in black appeared in front of the two people in a panic, and said to them with a very bad face: "The sixth prince, the sixth princess, something is wrong!" ”
