Chapter Ninety-Eight: Night Exploration of the City Lord's Mansion

"I saw the autopsy book, there are many vague places in it, and the fatal wound was recorded as a knife wound, and I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional!" Lin Yuanmo rubbed his fingers and changed the topic.

"There is only one person in the City Lord's Mansion who has a high level of martial arts, I met the Shen family Saburo in the back, and he only practiced riding and archery like an ordinary family, and he didn't know anything about the kung fu of the inner family, and the daughters of the Shen family were not suspicious!" Luo'er said.

During the day, Luo'er saw Shen De at first glance and felt that something was abnormal, so she gave Lin Yuan some hints, and Lin Yuan sent her to the backyard with great cooperation, so that Luo'er could investigate the City Lord's Mansion in depth.

"Yonghui's death has been determined to be a robbery and murder case in the city lord's yamen—" Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Shen De hinted that I Yonghui may be carrying treasures on his body, attracting bandits!" ”

Luo'er looked at him with some puzzlement.

Lin Yuan explained: "It's not enough that the city lord yamen has already decided the case, he doesn't want Changtianlou to investigate this case in depth!" After thinking about it, he added, "Shen De, although he was born in a family, his temperament is slightly sharp!" ”

Luo'er nodded, the family has a more graceful attitude, just like Shen Shu who met by chance today, and Shen De doesn't know if it is because of the relationship between practicing martial arts or some other reason, it seems a little different.

"Shen De's eyebrows are hidden in the blade, his eyes are bottomless, I look at his face, and I feel that it is not just the city lord of Lining!" Luo'er said, Luo'er has a more embarrassing place to look at the face, always only see the first layer under the face, no matter how much it can't be seen, I vaguely feel that the water is deep, but I don't know how deep it is.

"Why don't I go back tonight?" Luo'er was also a little ashamed of her half-level of appearance, so she proposed as if compensating.

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile: "That's the best!" "There's nothing wrong with Luo'er's martial arts night probe," I still trust my own judgment, Yonghui has the scars of six kinds of weapons, including a long knife, a lancet, a long sword, a long whip, a mandarin duck and a plum blossom dart-" Lin Yuan's words stopped abruptly and looked at Luo'er with a smile.

Luo'er nodded lightly, and when she found the murder weapon, she was not far from finding the murderer.

The outer courtyard of the city lord's mansion is the place where the city lord works, summons officials, and meets visitors, and the inner courtyard is the residence of Shen De's family.

The only thing worth exploring in the outer courtyard is the outer study, although in general, the outer study will not have any special secrets, and for the sake of prudence, Luo'er still went in to have a look.

At a glance, you can see it at a glance.

Exploring the city lord's mansion at night, it is the mechanism that is explored.

Luo'er's tricks and formations are Lin Yuan's willingness to bow down, is there a dark pavilion inner room in the study, although Luo'er can't see it at a glance, but after walking through it, it will not be far from ten.

The furnishings of the outer study are all bright and upright, and the place is large enough that even the bookshelves are not against the wall, but a whole room is arranged vertically and horizontally, and there is not even a dark corner when you look at the inside and outside rooms.

There were some case files brought back from the yamen on the bookcase, and Luo'er flipped through them casually, but found nothing unusual.

Luo'er walked to the window, just about to leave, the moonlight entered through the window, and the corner of her eye instantly caught a reflected faint light, Luo'er stagnated, and looked back to see a wooden box.

This is a black wooden box, with an ordinary lock, as if it was placed on the Bogu shelf, and even accumulated a little dust, it looks extremely inconspicuous, if it wasn't for the light just now, Luo'er would not have recognized that this wooden box was made of South China Sea Jishan Moon Shadow Ebony.

Moon shadow ebony is not as black and shiny as ordinary ebony, and it is dull and dull at ordinary times, and only in the moonlight will it show a luster comparable to that of pearl jade.

Make a box out of Moon Shadow Ebony, the box itself is priceless, so the contents of the box are worth looking forward to.

Luo'er's heart moved and walked over.

When passing by the bookcase, Luo'er suddenly stopped, sat down behind the bookcase, looked up, moved his eyes slightly to the right, and naturally saw the dusty wooden box.

got up and approached, but found that the angle of the wooden box was a little subtle, Luo'er looked up at the direction of the window, and calculated a little in his heart, sure enough, there are thirty days in a month, of which twenty-eight days the moonlight does not shine on the box, and the remaining two days only shine to a small corner.

It was also a coincidence that today it shone on the corner of the wooden box, and the strange luster attracted Luo'er, only to find that it was extraordinary.

Luo'er gently picked up the box, so that it was completely bathed in the moonlight, and the wooden box instantly faded away from the dust, and the whole body was like jade, shining brightly.

This was also the first time Luo'er had seen Moon Shadow Ebony, and she played with it curiously for a while before opening the box.

There was only a thin letterhead in the box, Luo'er was slightly stunned, her eyes sank, she turned around, took out the letterhead, and the wooden box was still put back in its place, and quietly left the outer study.

After a circle of the outer courtyard, there was nothing else to gain except a letterhead.

But when he entered the inner courtyard, he soon found clues in the garden.

In the area of the lotus pond rockery, there is a formation to hide the entrance of the mechanism, so that the people in the house will not touch the mechanism by mistake, but the formation and the mechanism are trivial to Luo'er.

Luo'er untied the mechanism casually, there was a dull opening sound on the ground in the rockery, and the entrance to a cave gradually opened, Luo'er was about to lift his feet forward, and suddenly caught a few abnormal sounds in his ears, and he was busy tiptoeing, and his body quickly retreated, and when he retreated to the outside of the cave, his toes hooked upwards and turned over to the top of the cave.

Silver needles rained down into the trunk of the tree in front of them.

This should be the mechanism at the entrance to the secret room, no matter how fierce it is, it is only a wave, and it is people who really need to deal with it.

After the needle rain, Luo'er turned over and fell, and before his feet touched the ground, he turned sideways lightly to avoid it, rolled his sleeves, and started with a hidden weapon, Luo'er casually threw the intercepted hidden weapon into the sword belt, and met several black-clothed people who came out of the rockery.

There are less than ten people in total, all of them are dressed in black and masked, and they are all about the same size, only the weapons in their hands are varied, but they are all handy, these people are not the top masters separately, but they are extremely difficult to match.

Luo'er coped with it empty-handed for a while, and she also knew it in her heart.

Is this the group of people who assassinated Yonghui? What a surprise!

Now Luo'er regrets that she is holding her up, at least she will come back with a mask, although she tries to hide her appearance in the fight, but after a long fight, it will inevitably show traces.

This place is not to stay for long! Luo'er no longer hesitated to draw the Plain Frost Soft Sword.

The group of men in black seemed to notice Luo'er and retreated, and they attacked even more.

This is the first time Luo'er has used the Su Frost Soft Sword, like a silver snake dancing in the moonlight, and it seems to be a Su Lian Feitian, where she has passed, such as cold frost, although it is still a little worse than Bi You, but I have to admit that Su Shuang is really beautiful as a fairy.

If the situation allows, it will not be a problem to take down all these people in black, but Luo'er is hiding her face while looking for a way out, it is not so simple.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the master's residence and seemed to be startled, and Luo'er turned her mind and retreated towards the courtyard where the master lived.

The man in black really hesitated and didn't come, but the lights were already on everywhere, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion also came one after another, and the more people gathered, it was no longer suitable to escape from the roof, in case someone saw her face, after all, she was still bearing the status of Lin Yuan's fiancée, and it was inevitable that it would be difficult to explain.
