Chapter 827: Begin the investigation
Listening to Du Yue's words, Su Xiaoman was a little unconscious, although the whole thing was not clearly presented in front of her, but the clues that were already there had already begun to make her creepy.
Everyone had different faces, and Li Ran was only responsible for protecting Su Xiaoman and helping her solve some messy things, so he didn't particularly care about the whole case.
Su Xiaoman calculated the time, and in more than a month, most of the people could be deeply trapped in it, it seems that they still have some means, but they don't know what kind of methods they use.
"It took more than a month to get most of the people to submit to them, and they are still a bit powerful."
Saying that, Su Xiaoman looked in the direction of Du Yue, and then confirmed a problem with him.
"Last time you said that the leader of this cult claimed to be looking for the night, is this matter exquisite?"
Du Yue knew Su Xiaoman's thoughts, and this was just what he heard from others.
"I also heard what they said, but many people on the street said this, and there were also people in the yamen who were brainwashed, only to hear someone say that since he came back from the investigation, he has been saying, "It's good to look for the night, long live the night or something."
Su Xiaoman heard Du Yue's explanation, and now he is a little skeptical, maybe it's really just a duplicate name?
Thinking like this, Su Xiaoman's brows furrowed, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
When Su Xiaoman had just entered the city, he ordered someone to report to the city, telling the mysterious person that the people sent by the imperial court had entered the city.
The handrail of the mysterious man turned his back to the people, and the mask on his face was full of enchantment, and if you looked closely, you could tell that it was the person who went out of the Huang family last time.
Hearing that the person sent by Shangjing had arrived, he raised his head and said lazily.
"Did Su Xiaoman appear during this trip?"
The next person had seen Su Xiaoman's portrait before, but two of the people who came into the city this time looked exactly the same, which made him a little unsure of how to answer.
The mysterious man, who hadn't heard his subordinates reply for a long time, was a little angry, and turned around, because the mask blocked others from seeing his hideous expression under the mask, and his voice became harsh.
"Let me ask you if there is a person named Su Xiaoman who shows up somewhere."
Seeing that the master was angry, the subordinates immediately knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly.
"Master, I don't know the little one, but among the people sent this time, there are two people who are exactly the same as Su Xiaoman's portrait. Because they didn't talk on the road, the subordinates didn't have me to distinguish it, and the subordinates should be damned, please punish the master. ”
The mysterious man heard his subordinates say this, and after thinking about it carefully, there was a former Miss Yan of the Huang family among the people sent this time, and I heard that this Miss Huang and Su Xiaoman looked very similar, and it seemed that it was understandable that the subordinates did not distinguish it.
"Alright, go down! As long as there are two, it means that she is here, there is nothing to do with you, you can go down. ”
When the subordinates went down, the black-clothed man in the room laughed loudly, the voice was very harsh, and the subordinates who had just gone out covered their ears and quickly fled from this place of right and wrong.
At this time, Lu Li is there
The palace is also very worried about them, a few days ago he also received a letter from the spies, saying that Su Xiaoman and they met some gangsters on the way to Yuzhou, but fortunately, Li Ran arrived in time to subdue them and successfully joined Su Xiaoman and them.
Now Lu Li's efficiency is very low when dealing with documents, and now there is no reliable one around him to solve his problems.
But Su Xiaoman still has private matters that have not been resolved, and when the incident in Yuzhou is resolved, presumably Su Xiaoman will be able to become his right-hand man and govern the country with him.
Thinking of this, Lu Li began to deal with the setbacks more diligently, and one day he and Su Xiaoman would be able to face the difficulties together.
Su Xiaoman got some of the information collected by Du Yue in Du Yue, and after reading it carefully and repeatedly, Su Xiaoman was a little confused.
Because these things collected by Du Yue are all superficial things, the deeper information has not been found.
So Su Xiaoman ordered someone to go to the boss of the bun shop, please come over.
The owner of the bun shop came to Du Yue's mansion and looked at many officials who wanted to kneel and salute, but were stopped by Su Xiaoman.
"Boss doesn't need to be polite, I invited you here this time to ask you about something, I wonder if the boss is willing to give us some clues?"
Hearing Su Xiaoman's question, of course the owner of the bun shop wanted to answer, so he said what he knew.
"Ever since their cultists came to Yuzhou City, the city has become strange. Some people seem to be normal on the surface, but as long as you tell him that the cult is not good, they will attack you like crazy. ”
looked at the boss as if he had experienced it himself, and then the boss frowned and said.
"I had followed my neighbors to the place where they organized an event the night before, and in a cave on a mountain in the distance, I quietly discovered that they had to drink a bowl of black food before each sacrifice, and the leader was a man wearing a strange mask and wearing a black dress who claimed to be a night seeker."
Listening to the boss's words, Su Xiaoman quickly summarized these useful things, the mysterious things in the cave and the weird mask.
Su Xiaoman frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and when he heard that the boss stopped talking, he opened his mouth and asked.
"Nothing else has been discovered?"
The boss heard that Su Xiaoman meant that he still wanted to know something, and then shook his head and said.
"I don't know, I don't know any martial arts as a bun seller, it's good to have the courage to go and see, how can I know more things?"
Su Xiaoman didn't embarrass him when he heard him say this, and said to him softly.
"Okay, you go back first, this information you provided."
The owner of the steamed bun shop turned around and prepared to leave when he heard Su Xiaoman say this, but Su Xiaoman stopped the owner of the steamed bun shop as if he remembered something.
"Wait, boss, I have one more thing to ask you."
The boss heard that she still had something to ask, so he retracted his steps and turned to face Su Xiaoman.
“
Is there anything else you want me to talk about? ”
Su Xiaoman saw that he stopped, so he opened his mouth and asked what she wanted to know.
"Can you tell me more about the cave you are talking about?"
When the owner of the bun shop heard this, he knew what Su Xiaoman meant, maybe she wanted to explore somewhere.
"It was in the barren mountains in the southwest, from the city into the mountains, about halfway up the mountain, and there was a small cave with a narrow entrance in an inconspicuous place, and that was it."
After hearing the specific location, Su Xiaoman thanked the boss, and then let him go back.
A distorted smile appeared on the boss's face after he was in addition to Du Yue's mansion, but Su Xiaoman and the others didn't know it.
Su Xiaoman in the mansion thought that they had received important news, and carefully analyzed the boss's words.
"It seems that their organization uses drugs to control the people, and the black things in the boss's mouth are probably the culprits who control the people."
Hearing Su Xiaoman's guess, everyone also agreed, and seeing that everyone nodded in unison, Su Xiaoman continued. ,
"There's one place I don't understand, their leader calls himself Xunye but wears a mask and wears black clothes, if it's Zhang An, he doesn't have to be so disguised, if he's afraid that people will recognize him, why use the name Xunye?"
Hearing Su Xiaoman say this, everyone seemed to have an epiphany, yes, the person this time may not be Zhang An, if it is him, why did he hide his face by looking for the night?
In fact, Su Xiaoman is not very sure about the doubts here, because Xunye may be the only one who can know the origin of this name?
It's been a long time since Du Yue's mansion arrived, and everyone has been tired on the road for a long time, so Du Yue ordered someone to prepare some nutritious food, so that it is not too late for everyone to take a break after replenishing their energy and then go to investigate the case.
Of course, Su Xiaoman agreed, after all, the spirit of the people is limited, and they must tidy up their bodies before they can continue to investigate the case.
After a few people finished eating, Su Xiaoman said to everyone.
"Everyone is a little tired after a few days of driving and horses, so we will take a rest today, and tomorrow we will go separately to investigate the clues."
Everyone agreed with Su Xiaoman's proposal, and followed the subordinates of Du Yue's Mansion to the guest room arranged for them to rest.
When everyone went down to rest, Su Xiaoman said to Du Yue.
"Do you have any documents with those clues, can you give me a study, I want to take the time to analyze the situation."
Du Yue heard Su Xiaoman say that she wanted to collect evidence, so she took her to the study to find materials.
When Su Xiaoman looked at the table full of messy papers, he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Du Yue explained with a grin.
"Hehe, I've been looking through it for the past few days, so it's a little messy. Wait, I'll find you what you want. ”
Du Yue scratched her head and quickly cleaned up the things on the table, and finally sorted out a stack of papers the height of a teacup.
Du Yue pointed to the paper that had been picked up, then looked at Su Xiaoman and said.
"These are all materials related to this incident."
Su Xiaoman looked at the stack of papers and sighed, it turned out that there were not a lot, and then Xiaoman suddenly remembered something and seemed to say to Du Yue.
"I'll take your pen and paper and give the emperor a message, it's been so long, Lu Li must be very worried."
Of course, Du Yue would not refuse, so she let Su Xiaoman feel free.
After Su Xiaoman replied to Lu Li, he moved all the materials that Du Yue had sorted out from his study to the guest room where she was going to rest.
The next morning, Su Xiaoman appeared in front of everyone with black circles under his eyes.
Today's weather is not very good, the sky is full of dark clouds, coupled with Su Xiaoman's pale face with dark circles, everyone's hearts are shocked.
