Chapter 20: Night Exploration of the Prince's Mansion

Xiao Wuji came to the front of the criminal department, looked at the many carriages and demonic beast mounts waiting at the door, and roughly guessed that it should be someone from the Zongren Mansion.

Entering the conference hall, Wei Chenmo saw Xiao Wuji entering, and said: "Wuji, come, let me introduce you, this is Yin Xiao Jianye of the Zongren Mansion, Lord Xiao", and then said to Xiao Jianye: "He is Xiao Wuji, the commander of the imperial capital's 'Capital Capture Division'."

Xiao Wuji saluted Xiao Jianye and said, "Wuji has seen Lord Xiao!" ”

Wei Chenmo said: "Lord Xiao came here just to learn about the progress of the case on our side. Wuji, for the progress of the case, you say it's okay! ”

Xiao Wuji replied, "Lord Wei, I have arranged for my subordinates to report the information we have to the Zongren Mansion, and now they should have arrived at the Zongren Mansion. Since Lord Xiao came over, the subordinates will report the situation to the two adults in person! ”

Xiao Jianye looked at Wei Chenmo, and then said with a smile: "Please speak!" ”

Xiao Wuji said: "According to the confession of the girl in the room of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, seven days ago, the top brand of the Nishang Flower Pavilion, 'Yi Niang', was invited to play in the mansion. So his subordinates led people to the Neon Flower Pavilion. In the early hours of this morning, the flower pavilion went to the water, and it was not until the moment before we arrived that the fire was extinguished, and 'Yi Niang' was buried in the fire. ”

Wei Chenmo looked at Xiao Jianye and said, "In this way, the Neon Flower Pavilion is the biggest suspect!" ”

Xiao Wuji continued: "After the subordinates reviewed the surviving insiders in the Flower Pavilion, they found that the boss of the Neon Flower Pavilion was only the manager, and the beneficiary behind the scenes was His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. The relevant witnesses, exhibits and the facts of the case after combing, I have ordered someone to hand them over to the Zongren Mansion together! ”

Xiao Jianye said with a smile: "Xiao Wuji, yes, very good, when I return home, I will personally take over the case and continue to follow up and investigate."

Wei Chenmo said with some displeasure: "Wuji, the clues we found can be shared with the Zongren Mansion, not for you to hand over directly, why are you confused?" ”

Xiao Wuji said: "Lord Wei, we also found out that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, in the empire, industries like the Neon Flower Pavilion are distributed in various counties and counties, and a gray industrial chain has been formed, and a large number of cases of missing girls are reported every year in various places, and after they finally arrived in the imperial capital, they were all shelved ......."

Xiao Jianye got up and said to Wei Chenmo: "Lord Wei, this official will leave first, and immediately start this case!" Then he looked at Xiao Wuji and said: "Wuji, if you have time to drink tea in my mansion, I like capable people like you, you are really a hero!" ”

Xiao Wuji replied: "Lord Xie Xiao praises, adults go slowly!" If you have any needs in terms of the case, just arrange someone to connect with me! ”

After Wei Chen's demon saw Xiao Jianye leave, he said to Xiao Wuji, "Say it! The Five Princes shouldn't be the focus of this case, you kid is very ghostly, say it quickly... Say it quickly".

Xiao Wuji said with a smile: "My lord, we investigated and found that the real sweetheart of that 'Yi Niang' is the Eleventh Prince. Through on-site investigation, the subordinates judged that the 'Yi Niang' should be the murderer, and she was also proficient in disguise and disguise, as for whether he was burned to death, I want to wait until nightfall, take someone to sneak into the eleventh prince's mansion to investigate, and there will be results, so I came to ask the adults for instructions."

Wei Chenmo thought for a moment and said, "The day is not over yet, the murderer has been found out by you, so I can rest assured!" Tomorrow morning, the official will be full of confidence and respond to His Majesty's inquiries. Ha... Ha... Ha... A good day starts early! By the way, as for what you said about going to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion to investigate, you have to pay attention to safety, Xiao Haisheng's Mansion is like a cloud, don't be careless! ”

Xiao Wuji replied: "The subordinates understand that everything is improvised, and they will not cause unnecessary trouble to the adults, and the subordinates will retire."

Wei Chenmo smiled and said, "Wuji, you must pay attention to safety!" ”

In the middle of the night, Xiao Wuji and the six famous people walked to the alley next to the mansion of the eleventh prince, Xiao Wuji said: "Leng Sisi sneaked into the mansion with me, and the rest of the people are waiting outside, ready to answer at any time", and everyone replied: "Obey." Xiao Wuji continued to say to Leng Sisi: "Have you remembered the topography and building distribution map of the mansion that I studied in the division just now? Leng Sisi replied: "Clearly, including the bright and dark stakes that may be speculated at that time, I also keep in mind!" Xiao Wuji replied: "Follow me, go!" Then Xiao Wuji and Leng Sisi jumped into the mansion, and their bodies disappeared behind the rockery in the courtyard.

Xiao Wuji whispered to Leng Sisi: "This is the backyard, let's walk along the corridor of the Jingchi to the front of the attic, and then knock the two dark piles unconscious, and then through the eaves, to the bottom of the prince's bedroom!" Leng Sisi whispered back: "Understood."

Walking to the dormitory, the two of them jumped onto the second-story railing and squatted under the window, Xiao Wuji and Leng Sisi heard the woman's screams and wheezing from the room. Xiao Wuji's fingertips lightly cut through the window paper and looked into the room.

The man in the room said to the woman while doing a lot of things: "'Yi Niang', Brother Jiu is really good at playing, he can play himself to death, and he is also unprecedented, haha!" The woman catered to the man and gasped: "Your Highness's tricks have never been too much, but you can play more than Your Highness the Nine!" ”

Leng Sisi's cheeks outside the window were crimson, and one hand pinched Xiao Wuji's arm fiercely, trying to maintain peace in his heart. Xiao Wuji looked back at Leng Sisi and whispered urgently: "Lin Shu, you let go, it hurts... Hurt... Hurt! Leng Sisi looked at Xiao Wuji with affection, and said slightly angrily: "Who let you peek!" ”

At this time, the man in the house shouted, "Who, who's outside?" Come! ”

Xiao Wuji said to Leng Sisi: "It's not good, let's go!" ”

Several guards in the courtyard found the two and immediately blew the warning whistle, and a large number of guards in the palace rushed to the eleventh prince's bedroom according to the warning sound. A man in white was holding a silver broadsword, and after stopping Xiao Wuji and the others, he said, "Who are you?" Is it possible to treat the Prince's Mansion as his own vegetable garden? Come when you want, go when you want? It's really looking for death! ”

Xiao Wuji grabbed Leng Sisi, and then said, "Take it and play", throwing a ball of energy light at the man in white from a distance, the man in white waved his sword lightly, and a ball of sword gang condensed by true qi slashed towards the two, Leng Sisi smashed the sword gang. The man in white controlled the energy ball in the air, placed it above the palm of his hand, and laughed: "Ha... Ha... This is also martial arts? Crush me! Xiao Wuji seized the opportunity and pulled Leng Sisi's sword towards the sky behind him: fleeing quickly, and at this time, a huge explosion came from behind the two of them.

Leng Sisi looked back from afar, and the place was blown out of a huge pit, and the ground in the center of the pit was blank, and the man in white with the sword disappeared without a trace.

Leng Sisi asked loudly: "Wuji, what is that ball of light of yours, that Heartbeat Realm powerhouse disappeared just now, was it blown up?" ”

Xiao Wuji replied: "That's the energy ball that Master taught me to specially refine, called: Escape Light Bead. Meaning: Once the light bead is thrown, you must run for your life quickly, and you must escape from the range of the explosion in its center, otherwise you will also be killed by the shattering of space. That man should be strangled after being confined by the shattered space, leaving no trace."

Leng Sisi smiled: "It's to remind yourself to run for your life!" Haha, that's funny. So how is it made and how can it be so powerful? Your realm is not high, how can you know space spells? ”

Xiao Wuji said seriously: "You have so many questions! You don't understand what I said, it will be troublesome to explain clearly! To tell you simply, it is the 'antimatter' and the equivalent of the 'positive matter' that I refined according to the master's method, and the outside is an optical magnetic sphere formed by the energy array, and after a little squeezing, the 'positive and antimatter' inside collides, and a huge explosion will occur! According to the Master, these two substances can produce an astonishing explosion with just one microhaw of grams. The explosion range of the mass of the object I originally controlled was expected to be in the range of one meter, but I didn't expect to be able to blow up a huge crater of more than ten meters, careless! I almost put my life into it......"

Leng Sisi said: "I still don't understand, I can only say that the difference is a millimeter, a thousand miles, the buildings of the prince's mansion have been collapsed by the aftermath, it's terrible!" I saw He Tao and the five of them from a distance, just crawling out of a ruin, haha! ”

Xiao Wuji continued: "Let's go back to the division first!" After such a toss, the eleventh prince will definitely find a way to send Yi Niang out of the capital, and we just need to wait for the rabbit. When a few of them come back, they will immediately arrange, track and arrest."

Above the palace hall of the Fenglin Empire, Xiao Jianye was reporting to Emperor Xiao Shunrong: "Your Majesty, the minister has found out that the bizarre death of the Nine Emperor Princes has a great relationship with the top dancing girl 'Yi Niang' of the Nishang Flower Pavilion, and the Ni Shang Flower Pavilion was burned down yesterday, and the suspect 'Yi Niang' also died on the spot. Jingchen investigated overnight, and the Neon Flower Pavilion belonged to the property of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

Emperor Xiao Shunrong looked at Xiao Ting, the fifth prince standing under the main hall, and then said, "Ting'er, what do you have to say?" ”

Xiao Ting hurriedly knelt on top of the main hall and explained: "Father, the Neon Flower Pavilion is indeed the property of Erchen, but Erchen did not murder the ninth brother, please Father, please find out!" ”

Emperor Xiao Shunrong said to Yin Xiao Jianye, the head of the Zongren Mansion: "Xiao Qing, is there any evidence to prove that the Nine Emperor Princes were committed by Xiao Ting?" ”

Xiao Jianye replied: "There is no such evidence, and further investigation is still needed!" But in recent years, a large number of cases of girls who have disappeared in counties and counties across the country have a great relationship with the Fifth Highness, please show your majesty! ”

Xiao Shunrong said: "For the case of the girl, the Zongren Mansion is responsible for filing and investigating, and all those involved in the case, once the evidence is conclusive, will be arrested immediately, and the truth will be returned to the people." The five princes were handed over to the Zongren Mansion for investigation and handling, pending the investigation and trial of the case, and waiting for the fate."

Xiao Shunrong then asked, "Wei Chenmo, the Nine Emperor Sons case, has your criminal department made any progress?" ”

Wei Chenmo replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the Criminal Department has arrested the person who is a major suspect in the Nine Emperor Princes case, and it is currently being tried!" ”

Xiao Shunrong continued: "In recent days, the empire has continued to rain, and the southern part of the country is seriously flooded, Zheng wants to appoint a prince to inspect the disaster situation of the people on behalf of Zheng out of the palace, and prepare in advance for the next step of disaster relief. The ministers can all speak freely, recommend suitable candidates for the prince, and express their thoughts......"

After the end of the early dynasty, Gonggong Wei in front of the emperor called out to Wei Chenmo and said: "Lord Wei, Your Majesty has summoned you separately in the Lizheng Palace, please come with the slave family." Wei Chenmo replied: "Okay, there is Father-in-law Lao Wei, and the ministers also have something to meet Your Majesty alone!" Grandpa Wei said with a smile: "Your Majesty saw that you were vague in the main hall, and I have guessed that the adults have something to say, and you are really tacit and very tacit." Wei Chenmo replied seriously: "As His Majesty's childhood reading companion, the minister must have slowly cultivated it from then on!" ”

After Wei Chenmo entered the Lizheng Palace, he bowed to Xiao Shunrong and said, "Minister, Wei Chenmo has seen Your Majesty."

Xiao Shunrong said: "Pingshen, Wei Qing, how is the case going?" ”

Wei Chenmo replied: "Your Majesty, the murderer of the Nine Emperor Princes, the 'Yi Niang' of the Nishang Flower Pavilion, has been arrested by the ministers in the early hours of this morning. After the trial, he confessed that he was instructed by His Royal Highness Xiao Haisheng, the eleventh prince! ”

Xiao Shunrong said: "It will all be found out in one day? Isn't it your love that 'Xiao Wouji' is in charge of investigating! ”

Wei Chenmo smiled shyly: "Your Majesty, you know everything, hehe!" As long as Xiao Wuji is there, the minister is confident that there is no unsolvable case in the world. Now, Lao Chen specially applies to search the mansion of the Eleventh Prince and temporarily detain His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince."

Xiao Shunrong said: "Quasi-play! When arrested, don't hurt the prince, and when your review is over, I will personally ask him why he is so vicious? Kill your brother! ”

After Xiao Wuji got the arrest warrant, he led more than 100 people from the 'Capital Capture Division', together with the Imperial Capital Imperial Forest Forbidden Army, to arrive at the Eleventh Prince's Mansion.

Guo Ziliang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Forbidden Army, looked at the collapsed Prince's Mansion, full of devastation, and many craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry were sorting out the construction. Guo Ziliang looked at Xiao Wuji and asked, "What's the situation?" Xiao Wuji shrugged, his eyes full of doubt, and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Subsequently, Xiao Wuji used the exercises and said loudly: "In accordance with Your Majesty's order, the 'Capital Arrest Division' of the Criminal Department will search the Eleventh Prince's Mansion, arrest the suspect Xiao Haisheng, and bring all the personnel in the Mansion back to the Criminal Department for trial!" In case of stubborn resistance, shoot and kill! The loud voice penetrated all corners of the Prince's Mansion.

Guo Ziliang then ordered: "Enter the mansion and arrest people!" "A large number of Imperial Guards rushed into the palace and detained the people involved. At this time, Xiao Wuji also ordered: "The 'Du Arrest Division' enters the mansion to search for relevant evidence, don't leave dead ends, let go of any clues, act!" ”

About two hours later, Guo Ziliang said to Xiao Wuji: "Wuji, you continue to collect evidence, I will escort this group of people, hand them over to the Criminal Department first, put them in the prison of the Criminal Department, and conduct follow-up interrogation!" ”

Xiao Wuji replied, "Okay, Lord Guo! It's just a pity that we didn't catch the eleventh prince Xiao Haisheng and let him escape! ”

Guo Ziliang smiled: "He can't escape from the ground!" Before the arrest, I had already ordered the gate of the imperial capital to be closed, as long as he dared to rush through the gate, I would be able to catch him! ”

Xiao Wuji shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid that he will hide in the city!" Commander Guo, I'm afraid it will take a little more effort to search! ”

Guo Ziliang said: "Farewell".

Xiao Wuji turned around and walked towards the bedroom of the prince's mansion, at this time, He Tao took the evidence and ran over to report: "My lord, this bundle of long ropes was found from the mansion, which is extremely similar to the rope that binds the Nine Emperors......

Xiao Wou-Ki asked, "What else have you discovered?" ”

He Tao continued: "We also found fluorescent candles, leather whips, iron balls, step stools, men's and women's underwear and other related items in his dormitory. From the multiple abrasion marks on the wooden beams of the dormitory, it can be inferred that the Eleventh Prince, like the Nine Emperors' way of pursuing pleasure, should be done often."

The next morning, Wei Chenmo stood in the palace hall and said eloquently: "Your Majesty, after verification, the long rope used to bind the Nine Emperor Princes came from the Eleventh Prince's Mansion, and the corresponding items were found in the Eleventh Prince's Mansion. Moreover, after the trial, the 'Yi Niang' of the Nishang Flower Pavilion confessed that she had been instructed by the Eleventh Prince, disguised herself, and planned to get rid of the Nine Princes and clear the way for the Eleventh Prince! At present, the whereabouts of Xiao Haisheng, the eleventh prince, are unknown."

Emperor Xiao Shunrong said angrily: "Bastard! Wei Chenmo listened to the order and immediately issued an imperial special wanted warrant, and Xiao Haisheng must be arrested! ”

Wei Chenmo hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied, "Minister's order!" ”
