Princess Changshan suddenly appeared, and after saying some inexplicable words to herself, she muttered the words she said and left with a sluggish expression, from the beginning to the time she left, there was only a stick of incense, but in this stick of incense, Gu Changqing became even more curious about a princess.

He also believed in his own feelings more and more, this princess is definitely not simple, but what kind of role is such an identity and such a person playing in the whole case? Is it the murderer?

After the princess left the art gallery, Gu Changqing didn't stay long, the two painters who were not very mentally normal, whether they were really abnormal or fake abnormal, would not ask anything, but that Dan Sheng, could he really be dead as the painter guessed? Or is he the murderer, killed someone and then left.

But these reasoning seem to have no loopholes, but when you think about it carefully, you always feel that something is wrong.

If Dan Sheng is the murderer, if his disappearance is absconding in fear of crime, but why the first deceased person has disappeared before he dies is a little unreasonable.

If he is dead, the relationship with this case can be dissolved, so who did the work of that painting? Is it a princess?

Gu Changqing thought all the way, until Gonggong Gao called him softly, then he came back to his senses and saluted the latter, Gonggong Gao looked at Gu Changqing's pale face, and said, "This case is important, but it can't be found out in a day or two, young people are not in a hurry at this time!" ”

Gu Changqing replied with a polite smile, "How can you not be in a hurry, if the murderer can't be caught for a day, the danger in the palace will not be eliminated for a day!" ”

"The danger in this palace is not that the murderer is there, but all the time!" After Gonggong Gao said this with a smile, he quickly said, "By the way, the old slave has already ordered the matter that Lord Gu explained today, and I think there will be news in a few days!" ”

Gu Changqing left the palace after saying goodbye to Gao Gong, and when he passed by the North Alley, he went to buy a roast chicken for Yan Mu before returning to the inn.

When I met the shopkeeper downstairs in the inn, I also said sourly that the roast chicken in the north lane is just a reputation, but it is not delicious.

Gu Changqing didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he thought that he was going to live here for a while, he still threw some broken silver to the shopkeeper and asked for a sauce beef and plum wine.

When Gu Changqing returned to the room, Yan Mu was on the table, holding his head and thinking about something, looking at the frowning and painful expression, Gu Changqing couldn't help but be happy, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to catch the murderer, so you plan to investigate it yourself?" ”

Yan Mu shook his head, thought alone for a while, and then asked slowly, "Guess who is here after you leave today!" ”

Gu Changqing poured himself a cup of tea, picked up another cup and asked Yan Mu if he wanted it, and after seeing the latter shake his head, Gu Changqing said, "Who?" Priest! ”

Yan Mu jumped up in surprise, "How do you know!" ”

"What is this, if you know that the priest is fond of painting, it will not be strange." Gu Changqing said calmly.

"So, you already knew that Luanchuan would come today!" Yan Mu said a little aggrieved.

"It's not for sure, it's just a guess, with Luan Chuan's temperament, if he knew that this palace night banquet was here, it would be impossible not to come!" Gu Changqing raised his head and met Yan Mu's eyes, "But you didn't show him today!" ”

"Can't I stick to this bottom line? What an underestimate! ”

"But I'm curious about how you hold on!"

"This ...... Nothing! Yan Mu sat on the chair, his eyes dodged, and his hands kept fiddling with the cup in his hand, "It's just a play for her!" ”

As soon as Yan Mu finished speaking, the shopkeeper with soy sauce beef and green plum wine walked in, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he didn't look at Yan Mu and said, "I know this, Yan Gongzi pretended that there was a woman in the house, and the priest left." When the priest went downstairs, he also deliberately put forward his opinion with the shopkeeper, saying that the inn should also pay attention to the influence! ”

Yan Mu's face turned red, and he forcibly held back his anger and said to the shopkeeper, "I advise you to go downstairs, otherwise this shopkeeper won't let you do it when you don't know when you can't see you!" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, "It's okay, the shopkeeper of this shop is my uncle!" No, it won't! ”

Yan Mu clenched his fists, "But I will!" ”

The shopkeeper went downstairs in a gloomy manner, Yan Mu didn't speak, and stuffed something into his mouth vigorously, as if he was afraid that Gu Changqing would ask some questions that he couldn't answer.

In the next two days, because he was waiting for news from Father-in-law Gao, Gu Changqing did not enter the palace again, but just walked around casually outside to listen to most people's thoughts on the case.

The old man at the pancake stall in Nancheng said that the murderer was not a person, but a killer organization hidden in the palace in the previous dynasty, and in order to avenge the destruction of the family and country, he wanted to disturb the hearts of the people in Miyagi.

The proprietress of the chaos shop in the north lane said that this was an obvious curse, and someone used witchcraft to kill people, and it should be said that the goddess who used witchcraft was in Chaoyang City.

Gu Changqing and Yan Mu also heard a more interesting rumor when they were having dinner in Juhong Mansion, and they said it in a similar way, they said that this case was a love murder at first glance, and that the palace maid of Zhongli Palace had an affair with the eunuch and was bumped into by Xu Meiren, so the eunuch killed all the people who knew about it in order to save his life.

Of course, the most bizarre of all the rumors is that the palace night banquet picture is a demon body, it is said that a group of little minions raised in the demon body, when the demon body is hungry, it will release the little minions by itself, find a suitable life for it to survive, and when the demon body is full, the little minions will return to the demon body on their own.

The rumors are similar, and they sound very funny as a joke, which also makes Gu Changqing temporarily relieved.

I just thought that the things in this palace were very complicated, even if Grandpa Gao had a conclusion, it would take seven or eight days, but it was only two days, and at noon on the third day, the two had just come back from eating outside, and as soon as they entered the door of the inn room, they saw Grandpa Gao's figure, and at this time, Grandpa Gao's face was cold, not at all like his usual amiable appearance.

Gu Changqing's heart also became serious, this father-in-law Gao, as the closest person to the emperor, is by no means the kind of identity who leaves the palace in order to tell himself a news, and he came here at this time, he must have been authorized by the emperor, and this news will definitely not be a simple news.

"Father-in-law Gao is here at this time, but the whereabouts of the investigation have been investigated." Gu Changqing didn't say hello, and said directly.

Gao Gonggong glanced around, and the little eunuch next to him quickly left the room and closed the door, Gao Gonggong saw that there were only three of them left in the room, so he opened his mouth and whispered, "The matter that Lord Gu explained has been investigated clearly, and he has also returned to the emperor, but the emperor asked me to ask you first, how sure are you about this matter?" ”

"What does Grandpa Gao mean about the relationship between this matter and the murderer?" Gu Changqing asked.

Gao Gonggong nodded, but his heavy thoughts could already be seen between his eyebrows, "Exactly!" ”

"Don't dare to determine who the murderer is because of this? I just think it's confusing! Gu Changqing didn't know what was going on, so Gonggong Gao was so cautious that he could only say so.

"In this case, the emperor also asked the old slave to pass on a message, before the truth is completely clear, no matter who is found out this time, this matter can only be known to the two of you! In other words, no matter who you find out, you must not spread rumors about him and the murderer! ”

Seeing that the two of them agreed one after another, Gonggong Gao sorted out his emotions and continued, "I have checked the entire palace, and the first rumor about the palace night banquet to eat people was the Xiyan Hall of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it is said that the first to say it was the personal palace maid Zehui next to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

"Your Highness the Princess?" Yan Mu, who had been listening silently beside him, couldn't help but be surprised, "How could Her Royal Highness the Princess ......?"

Yan Mu's words were halfway through, but he was interrupted by Gu Changqing's light cough, and Gonggong Gao, as an understanding person, did not take this to heart, but said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is a filial daughter, and she did not leave the palace to open the palace in order to accompany the Queen Mother at that time, and now it is unknown who is staying in the palace." So the emperor also said that if you investigate this matter, you must be clear, and you must not let Princess Changshan be unclear! ”

Saying these words, Gao Gonggong also said goodbye and left. Only Yan Mu and Gu Changqing were left sighing helplessly at each other.

"This son has really refreshed our perception of her again and again! However, she said that the palace night banquet map has been kept by her after the Queen Mother left, so it seems that this rumor is not from the Xiyan Palace, it is not impossible! Gu Changqing muttered.

"So what are you going to do? Do you really want to check her? Besides, even if she did it, she can admit it! ”

Gu Changqing frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Now even if we are ants on a hot pot, even if we don't want to turn, we have to turn, after all, this pot is in, but we can't get out!" ”

Yan Mu pinched his face helplessly, "Also, if we say that this line is not checked now, it will be equivalent to proving the suspicion of the princess on the side, but I am afraid that we will not know how the two of us will die by then." But besides, if this princess is really the murderer, then what should we do! ”

"In the current situation, this princess is a little strange at best, and if she is the murderer, I can't figure it out." Gu Changqing took out a pen and paper, and as he spoke, he wrote down the suspicious points, "First of all, the princess, as the emperor's own sister, can be said to use her ID card to dispose of one or two little eunuchs, and there is absolutely no need to do this!" Directly ordered to kill them, and if it doesn't work, you can find an excuse for them to steal things, in short, they won't kill people like this. ”

"So maybe these people know some of the princess's secrets? Killed and killed! Yan Mu asked tentatively.

"This is also the second suspicion, if this murderer is really the princess, why did she go to the palace criminal department to check the case file, why did she ask me for the progress of the case, wouldn't that expose her to us in front of her, which is not in line with the idea of a normal person after killing someone!"

"She wants to know the progress of your investigation of the case, isn't this even more telling, knowing your progress, she can take corresponding measures to hide herself!"

"But if she really hides it, why does she appear in front of us again and again? Could it be that she was poisoned by the great hidden city? Speaking of this, Gu Changqing couldn't help laughing, "In my opinion, this princess is definitely not such a dull person, there must be a secret behind her!" ”
