Chapter 53: The Corpse

"How? Is there anything out of the ordinary? Shangguan Jin's eyes were cold and he looked at the corpse lying on the ground.

At this time, the corpse had already faded to the color of the flesh, and its whole body was covered with iron blue, and its face was hideous, looking extremely terrifying, which made people feel a chill down their backs.

"Back to the prince's words," he got up from the ground after examining the body, his face pale, "he ...... There were no external injuries on the body. ”

"What?" Shangguan Jin was a little puzzled.

No trauma? Since there are no external injuries, then ...... Nine times out of ten, it is poisoned. Shangguan Jin lowered his head and pondered.

"Lord Wang...... This corpse ......," he hesitated.

"Take it down, and look for clues tomorrow." Shangguan Jin waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to carry away the corpse.

More and more people gathered around, and you and I muttered a word. Because the incident occurred in a densely populated green building, it really caused a lot of panic, and I heard that a few people were frightened on the spot. If the gangsters are not found out as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will cause even greater panic, and the situation will not be easy to control at that time.

The dim candle flame outlined Shangguan Jin's angular face, his eyes were as deep as dark night, and a thin sweat oozed from his forehead where no one could see.

Such a big thing is really tricky, Shangguan Jin was a little anxious in his heart.

"Take me to the scene of the crime." Shangguan Jin said to the old bustard on the side.

"Ahh The frightened old bustard was urged by Shangguan Jin several times before he heard it, and replied stumblingly, "That's it...... Is this it? ”

Shangguan Jin's face is full of black lines, this old bustard is probably scared stupid, right?

"I mean, where did he die. It can't be here, right? Shangguan Jin pointed to his feet, the place where he was standing was in the middle of the warehouse, there was no table here, and the poisoning would not be here, right?

"Oh yes, the slave will take you." The old bustard patted his head and remembered.

The old bustard took Shangguan Jin and his party to a richly decorated pavilion, which was also located in a densely populated place, but it obviously did not match the furnishings next to it.

Shangguan Jin pointed to the pavilion and wondered, "This?" ”

"This is what General Dingyuan specially ordered to clean up." The old bustard replied.

General Dingyuan was born in a large family, and he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, and his shot can be described as quite generous. The gazebo, though lavishly decorated, is not out of place, and is adjacent to a crystal clear lake, which matches the surrounding colours perfectly.

It is hard to imagine that General Dingyuan's life came to an end in this beautiful pavilion.

Shangguan Jin carefully observed the surroundings and did not find anything unusual, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said to the old bustard: "Call all the dancing girls present at that time, and this king will inquire one by one." ”

The old bustard nodded, and after a stick of incense, a group of beautiful women were summoned.

These women are dressed in sexy clothes, with slender waists and slender waists, white skin and beautiful appearances, which can be called stunning. However, Shangguan Jin was not interested in them, he just wanted to find out the truth of the incident as soon as possible.

"You," Shangguan Jin turned around and nodded a few guards, "Go over, remember to ask carefully." ”

The guards took the order and took the dancers aside for questioning. Shangguan Jin found a seat in the pavilion and sat down, holding his head with his hands, thoughtful.

After the guards finished checking, Shangguan Jin walked over: "What's wrong?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, I didn't find any useful clues." The leader of the guards stepped forward and replied.

Tut...... Shangguan Jin frowned.

How can it be? Can't really find any clues?

"Search the room." Shangguan Jin spit out two words lightly, and gestured to the people of Lao Bustard and Donglin Pavilion with his eyes.

"Yes."

The old bustard took Shangguan Jin to the bedroom of the dancing girls. Since there were not many dancers present at that time, Shangguan Jin did not let them search separately, but he took everyone to search one by one.

"You, what's your name?" Shangguan Jin asked one of the dancers.

The dancer was very happy when she saw Shangguan Jin looking at her, she looked at him with ambiguous eyes, and said in a whisper: "The slave family's name is Shanshan, what is Your Highness looking for the slave family?" ”

Shanshan said as she leaned back on Shangguan Jin. Shangguan Jin dodged this "sweet" attack sideways, and Shanshan fell to the ground.

"Hmm, help someone~"

The contrived voice made Shangguan Jin feel a chill, and the pungent smell of perfume filled his nostrils, and he patted the non-existent dust on his body vigorously, allowing the dancer to be dragged out.

I thought I could ask something, but I almost put my innocence into it. Shangguan Jin gave up the practice of asking in person, and had to search the house, hoping to find some evidence

But...... Things do not turn out the way you want.

They didn't find any clues except rouge gouache for women, which had a strong smell.

"Hey." Shangguan Jin sighed deeply.

It was late at night, and after a day of tossing, there were no useful clues at all. couldn't help but make Shangguan Jin a little anxious, but he couldn't mess up, if he gave up at this time, everything would fall short. He only had to be calm, calmly analyzing all the clues that could be grasped.

Shangguan Jin looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds covered the half moon: "The weather is not very good today......

"Let's go back. Go back and rest your feet and investigate in more detail"

Shangguan Jin rubbed his temples and commanded his subordinates.

After a day of no harvest, a group of people returned in a huff.

However, the people of Donglin Pavilion were really impressed by Shangguan Jin's superb attitude. I always thought that Shangguan Jin was just an idle prince, but today can be regarded as a refreshing understanding of him.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest for a while.

Shangguan Jin lay on the bed, rubbing the jade pendant in his hand, looking at the ceiling aimlessly, and only after a long time did he slowly get up.

He washed his face, calmed himself down, and forced himself not to think about it.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, a smile appeared on his face, he got up and ran out of the door, and after a while he brought back a carrier pigeon: "I don't know what happened to that stupid woman." ”

Thinking of that stupid woman, Shangguan Jin felt less nervous. I haven't seen her for a day, and I miss her inexplicably.

After a few strokes, a letter was written. Shangguan Jin carefully packed the letter into a small bamboo tube and tied it to the pigeon's leg. The dove flapped its wings and flew out.

It took a long time to fly back.

Shangguan Jin happily opened the letter.

“…… This woman! "Not a word was written on the letter, no, there were only three words "Shangguan Jin", and next to it was a lifelike Wang Ba......

Good fellow, I kindly care about her habit of not living alone in the city, and she actually treats him as the eighth king.

"Sure enough, it's a stupid woman!" Shangguan Jin's face was full of black lines, and he burned the letter.
