In the Divine Division, a table, three young people, looking at each other, silent, like sculptures.

Dongsheng, who came in to serve tea, was startled when he saw these three people motionless, and then gently touched the snort of his own sacrificial official, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Dongsheng's clumsy appearance, Yan Mu couldn't help but smile, pointed to the two people beside him, and said with a smile, "Who can bear it better than they?!" ”

"Endure what?!" Dongsheng was a little curious.

"Who can't help but ask each other questions first!" Yan Mu stroked his hair, "They are all full of doubts, but they don't want to be compared to each other, so that's it!" ”

Saying that, Yan Mu picked up the teacup and drank it all, Dongsheng looked at the other two who were motionless, smiled maliciously, and then walked behind Luan Chuan, facing Gu Changqing and said, "Lord Gu, I have a question that I haven't figured out, how do you know that the little eunuch is the painter, he obviously had a human skin mask at that time!" ”

As soon as Dongsheng's voice fell, Luan Chuan couldn't sit still anymore and stood up, glaring at him vigorously, "Who asked you to ask!" ”

"My lord, don't be angry, Dongsheng just wants to know, and he won't let the adult lose face!" Dongsheng said innocently.

"You ......" Luan Chuan flicked his sleeves, and then turned his gaze to Yan Mu, who was trembling with laughter, "Don't laugh either!" ”

"What would you think if you had set a trap that only a wolf could jump into, and it was a sheep that jumped in?"

Dongsheng scratched his head, "Then what do you think, it's probably because the sheep went wrong!" ”

"Are you stupid?!" Luan Chuan slapped Dongsheng's head, "I said that the trap can only be entered by wolves!" ”

Dongsheng rubbed his beaten head, and let out an innocent sigh, only to hear Luan Chuan glaring at him, and continued, "So, the sheep that jumped in can only be a wolf in sheep's clothing!" ”

Dongsheng still shook his head in disunderstanding, Yan Mu couldn't stand it on the side, and explained, "What they mean is that they know that the murderer is Dansheng, so the person who appears must be Dansheng, and anyone who appears is not Dansheng is Dansheng with a human skin mask!" ”

As soon as Yan Mu explained, Dongsheng was even more confused, but he still nodded thoughtfully, and slowly digested their words in his heart.

But Gu Changqing thought of another thing in this silent gap.

It was the night of Dansheng's Fufa, and after everyone was dismissed and left, he was stopped by Princess Changshan, who asked something similar to Dongsheng's, "Lord Gu, did you already know that Dansheng was the murderer?!" ”

He nodded, and said without the slightest concealment, "It was just suspicion at the time. Not certain! ”

"Then why do you suspect him, obviously he has disappeared, you shouldn't have thought of him in the first place!"

He remembered that he had smiled, "The princess is wrong, and it is because of his disappearance that I suspect him." Do you remember the letter you showed me at the time telling you that there was a secret in the painting? ”

Princess Changshan nodded, "What's wrong with that letter?" ”

"You said that in order to find out who wrote the letter to you, you asked me to write all the palace people in the palace who had a record, but none of them had the same handwriting. At that time, I was guessing that if this person did not change the font at will, it was because the princess of the person who wrote the text did not investigate it at all. Then who can be ignored by the princess, it is only the dead and the Dansheng who has disappeared. ”

"But......," said the princess, but stopped.

"The princess naturally knows that Dansheng didn't actually want to give you this letter, but gave it to the queen but came to you by mistake? Maybe the princess already knew that this would be Dansheng's doing, maybe the princess was just dazzled for a moment and didn't recognize that it was Dansheng's handwriting, but no matter what, this matter is over, since it's over, please don't worry about it anymore, whether it's this case, or the queen, or Dansheng. Gu Changqing paused, "Sometimes, if you pretend not to care, maybe you can really not care!" ”

Princess Changshan froze in place a little at a loss, until Gu Changqing stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, she came back to her senses, and said without words, "Lord Gu, can I ask you to do me a favor?"

"Please tell the princess directly!" Gu Changqing said.

"Dansheng is to become a demon in painting, and I hope that his final destination will be in the painting." Changshan's eyes are firm, and his eyebrows and eyes are peaceful.

"Since the princess has spoken, there is no reason not to help!" After that, he looked up at the sky, "It's not early, the princess should go back and rest, Changqing farewell!" ”

Everyone has different roles and experiences in this case, so he naturally wouldn't say what he said to Luan Chuan and Dongsheng to the princess, but the two different explanations are undoubtedly the truth!

"But Lord Gu, aren't you afraid that if you set up a game, that Dansheng won't enter the game at all?" Dongsheng asked again after thinking about it.

"Don't be afraid!" The corners of Gu Changqing's mouth slanted, "Because Dan Sheng is waiting for this opportunity, what he wants is someone who can bring him out of the shadows and stand under the sun!" ”

"Then why did he do it!"

Gu Changqing looked at Luan Chuan and smiled slightly, "Just like your sacrificial officer said, this person is a madman and can't be understood from common sense!" ”

Luan Chuan snorted coldly, "Now that you think about it, you're just falling into someone else's trap!" ”

Gu Changqing nodded, "That's true." Because the purpose of this Dansheng itself is not to kill people, it is just a picture of the palace night banquet. As long as he finds the source of all his motives, it will all be solved. So no matter how big the hole in my game is, he will come out. Because only in this way can everything he does be brought to the extreme! What's more, before that, I was a newcomer to Chaoyang City, and he couldn't figure out my temperament, and he couldn't be sure if I would really destroy this palace night banquet in order to appease the people. He didn't dare bet on that, so it was bound to happen! ”

"But......" Dongsheng thought of the wound on Dansheng's arm in the moonlight that day and night, "could it be that he really painted with his own blood!" ”

Gu Changqing nodded, "There has been such a thing since ancient times, the cadre Mo Ye was martyred with flesh and blood, and with his current state of madness, it is not impossible to do so!" ”

"Isn't that ...... It's disgusting! Dongsheng shook his arm vigorously, and his eyes inadvertently looked at his master's sword-like gaze and quickly retracted it, trembling on the side!

Gu Changqing took a sip of tea, walked to Wu Mengliang's thousand-mile ice map, and said slowly, "Actually, this reasoning is very simple, as long as you find the right direction, everything can be solved!" But a lot of times, a little luck is needed! ”

Luan Chuan suddenly thought of the conversation between Gu Changqing and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department at the banquet that day, so he asked, "How can this be said?" ”

"That day Yanmu and the two of us returned to the inn from the restaurant, after a series of reasoning, there were faint eyebrows, just because that day Yanmu slept in my bed, and I also looked at the painting and fell asleep, and after being frozen awake in the middle of the night, I discovered the secret of the whole painting!"

"What secret?!" Luan Chuan thought that he was already very serious about painting that day, although there was indeed some confusion that seemed to be like a dream halfway, but the overall was still certain!

Gu Changqing seemed to be able to see Luan Chuan's doubts, and said with a smile, "It was daylight when the sacrificial officer went that day, and the time when I found out the secret was at night, of course the sacrificial officer didn't know!" ”

Luan Chuan was so angry by Gu Changqing's seemingly unspeakable appearance that he threw a cup at Gu Changqing, but the latter easily grabbed it and put it on the table!

Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, "It was only a trigger for me to wake up from freezing that day, and the other reason was that I had a very light sleep, as long as there was a little abnormality, I would wake up, and what woke me up that day was the light!" ”

Luan Chuan was taken aback, "Light? What lights! ”

"The lights in the palace banquet map!"

"Nonsense, that light is just a painted light, how can it wake you up!" Luan Chuan retorted.

"Dan Sheng is a prodigy and an extraordinary, he can even use flesh and blood into paintings, what else is he not doing?" Gu Changqing paused, "Have the priests ever heard of the luminous stone?" ”

"Nature." Luan Chuan nodded slightly, "Luminous stone, as the name suggests, is a gemstone that can emit a faint green light at night, unfortunately our country has not developed such a gemstone origin over the years, but over the years, there should be a lot of tribute to the palace from the southwest countries?" I've also seen it with the emperor, and I heard that the Night Pearl is made of this luminous stone! ”

"That's right, this glow-in-the-dark stone doesn't look strange on weekdays, but at night it can illuminate all places as if it were day, and it is this light that makes me wake up!"

"You mean, Dansheng used glow-in-the-dark stone to paint?"

"The reason why the emperor ordered someone to draw this picture of the palace night banquet is nothing more than because the scene of the night banquet in the palace is too wonderful, and such a wonderful scene, if you only see the meaning, it is not boring! And the powder of the luminous stone is combined with the pigment, and the painted light is like a real light. But Dan Sheng's pursuit is not only satisfaction in the light, he also did this treatment on the eyes of those characters, so when I see that the eyes of the five dead are the same as everyone else, I can be sure that this Dan Sheng is the murderer, since the murderer has been decided, the rest of the reasoning is extremely simple, so sometimes the judgment also requires luck! ”

Luan Chuan snorted coldly, noncommittal about this.

The four of them talked and laughed about it for a while, and Luan Chuan asked the doubts in his heart a little twisted, "You took me to the inn that day, and you said that you were holding a Hongmen banquet, but what I have never understood is, how can you make me delirious without being completely unconscious?" ”

Gu Changqing smiled and didn't say anything, but Yan Mu asked in surprise, "Could it be that the sacrificial officer doesn't know about the drug?" ”

"I just know that drugs can make people sleepy? Is there such a unique medicine? Luan Chuan said incomprehensibly.

"This kind of thing is the secret recipe of our Yao Nantang, it is different from ordinary drugs, it will only make the poisoned person delirious and hallucinate without falling asleep. So when you entered the inn, you were already drugged, and you were weak when you looked at the painting, and the sound of someone talking in your ears was all hallucinations caused by this drug? I think I learned it day and night in the secret room, but you're the first person to try my thing, because this is the first time I've done it since I learned it! ”

"First time?" Luan Chuan's angry hands were trembling, and he was angry at Yan Mu for a long time, but he only said such a sentence and sat down, then stared at Yan Mu and asked cautiously, "You said that this medicine is the first time you have done it, should there be any side effects, will I have a crooked head and eyes, and hurt this peerless appearance!" ”

Yan Mu saw someone more narcissistic than himself for the first time, and was stunned for a while, "You, you are a peerless appearance, so what am I!" ”

Dongsheng, who had just recovered from the case that Gu Changqing said, was once again overwhelmed by the narcissism of these two at this time, and asked in a low voice beside Gu Changqing, "Master Gu, has this man changed like this now." Are they going to be a beauty pageant! ”

"In ancient times, there were empresses who chose men and women, and it is not impossible for the two of them to think about it!" Gu Changqing said in a speech, and in the end, he really couldn't help it, and laughed.

Such a beautiful scenery is also rare, but at this time they never thought that after one day in the future, everything will change, and such happiness will never be there again!

Yan Mu and Luan Chuan had been hurting each other for a long time, and seeing that they had enough of fighting, Gu Changqing asked Luan Chuan, "However, I also don't know something, when did you start to know that this was a bureau?!" ”

He has always been curious, Luan Chuan always seems to be surprised by what happened that night, but many times, this surprise seems too deliberate, especially the state when he did it was too real, the mouthful of blood gushing out, and the pale face made him suspicious.

Luan Chuan snorted coldly at Yan Mu indignantly, and then looked at Yan Mu and said, "Actually, I was really scared by you before!" Luan Chuan still said with palpitations, "In order not to let this palace night banquet plan be buried in the sea of fire, I have been trembling, but if you know when you are doing the game, it is probably when the Tengu Swallowing Sun Scene has just appeared!" ”

"Why?"

"The righteous words you spoke that day said that there were demons at work in the paintings, and they would be removed. But at that time, when the spectacle of the Tengu swallowing the sun came, I saw that there was no awe or fear in your eyes, and I could even see a trace of disdain in your face, so I could be sure that you were a person who did not believe in ghosts and gods, and how could a person who did not believe in ghosts and gods believe that this painting would eat people! ”

Gu Changqing nodded appreciatively, "No wonder the performance of the sacrificial officer at that time was so perfectly coordinated, that mouthful of blood came just right!" ”

Luan Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "If you do something familiar, it will naturally be perfect!" ”

Yan Mu pondered for a while, stared at Luan Chuan and asked mysteriously, "I also have a question, you are in charge of all the sacrifices, but do you believe that there are really ghosts and gods in this world?" Have you seen it? ”

"Ghosts?" Luan Chuan chuckled, "Ghosts and gods, whether you have them or not, whether you can believe them or not." When it can soothe the hearts of the people, it can be credible. When it endangers the people's hearts, it cannot be trusted or trusted! I am a sacrificial official, an official of the imperial court, and the official's duty is to assist the emperor in handling the affairs of the world, so if you need me, I will do it, and if you don't need me, I will get up. That's not the case. And the theory of ghosts is also a statement to appease the people. ”

"But this ...... Isn't it a lie? "Yan Mu said tentatively.

Luan Chuan said mysteriously, "Do you know why I was the only one chosen by the old priest among the thousands of people back then?!" ”

"Why?"

Regarding Luan Chuan's ability to be selected as the successor of the sacrificial official from thousands of people, not only Yan Mu and Gu Changqing were curious, but everyone in the world was curious.

Luan Chuan looked at his Shensi Building sarcastically, and said, "The reason why the old priest chose me is because among the children who participated at that time, I was the only one who didn't believe in ghosts and gods?!" ”

At this time, a gust of wind blew in, blowing away the sarcasm and a little awe in Luan Chuan's eyes.
