Chapter 86: The Truth That Is Gradually Being Peeled Away
It's definitely him.
He's watching me.
Chen Shaoan, who was sitting in the carriage, had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Because of the mastermind behind the scenes, at this time, it finally surfaced.
In fact, Chen Shaoan has not been fully sure of his own inference, after all, in his previous life, he probably liked to watch movies and television similar to reasoning.
But reasoning on your own, it's a completely different story.
With his current level of reasoning, in the reasoning circle of his previous life, he is completely a rookie.
It's just because people in this world rely too much on cultivation methods to find problems, so they have long been blank in their reasoning.
Asking ghosts and gods when you are indecisive has long been the norm in this seemingly humane world.
So looking at things from a mortal perspective, it's a complete blank in this world.
When there is no clue to the cultivation method, it will naturally become blind, which has nothing to do with IQ and EQ, it is completely because of the difference in knowledge level, which causes the effect.
"I'm not afraid that you will find me, but I am afraid that you will not look for me."
The corners of Chen Shao'an's mouth were slightly upturned, just because he was being peeped at, which confirmed his speculation about the ruins.
If your guess is wrong, there will definitely be no trace of the driving force behind this scene.
And if you are right, then according to people's curiosity, sooner or later you can't help but come and take a look.
"Fourth brother, what are you laughing at, did you think of something interesting?" The third brother, Chen Shaojie, asked beside him.
When Chen Shaoan heard this, he nodded with a smile: "It is indeed some interesting things, don't ask the third brother, you will know when the time comes."
Chen Shaojie was a little speechless.
When I sold Guanzi to my fourth brother before, I had to say it directly.
Now that I ask myself, I have sold the guanzi.
What a double standard.
But thinking that there are still people in the carriage in front of me, maybe it's inconvenient to say.
As the carriage galloped all the way, and the coachman shouted in front of him, it was also very fast in the crowd.
It didn't take long for him to come to Si Tianjian's yamen.
"Young Master Shao'an, please, I won't go in." The military attache at the head said respectfully at the gate.
And at this moment, there are already people waiting for a long time in the Si Tianjian Yamen.
After giving their hands over, Chen Shao'an and the three of them followed the officials of Si Tianjian who led the way in front of them, and continued to go deeper, and arrived at the backyard of Si Tianjian, where the prison heaven was.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the voice of the prince Zhao Qiyun.
"Shao'an, you're finally here, take a seat quickly, and help find clues about my sister."
"We've been looking for more than an hour here, and we still haven't gained anything."
When the prince Zhao Qiyun heard the sound, he walked directly from the inner hall to the outer hall to personally welcome Chen Shao'an's arrival.
Chen Shao'an hurriedly said, "Don't dare to drive His Royal Highness."
The prince Zhao Qiyun glanced at the two people behind him, then took a few steps over, took Chen Shao'an's hand, and dragged it inside: "Hurry up, my heart is extremely anxious at the moment, and I feel a little relieved when I see you."
In the inner hall, the state lord, and some unknown Qingzhou officials, the old man in brocade, including the four major gods, are all here.
With just a glance, Chen Shaoan understood the situation here.
But he doesn't care about himself, the face is earned by himself after all.
No matter what you think, you still invite yourself over after all.
"Meet the state lord, and everyone, Shao'an doesn't know much, and please forgive Shao'an for being rude." Chen Shaoan said politely.
The state lord hurriedly said, "I still pay attention to these etiquettes, and the most important thing now is to immediately find clues about the person behind the scenes."
"Hurry up and take a seat, check the rubbing images, if you can find any clues, I'll count on you now."
When Chen Shaoan heard this, his face appeared
hesitated, and then he arched his hand and said, "Lord Governor is joking, but he only has occasional gains, and he is not a full-time investigator."
"Compared to all of you here, there must be a huge gap, and I can't bear this, so please don't worry about it."
The old fritter, the state owner, immediately understood when he heard this that this was Chen Shao'an talking about his grievances.
Also, he was originally the most critical discoverer of the case, but when he saw that the credit was imminent and the facts of the case were clarified, he set it aside, and the implication of this was particularly obvious.
Some emotions are human nature.
The state lord paused slightly, and said, "Let Shao'an laugh, but this official is a little too pedantic, this Heavenly Prison Heaven is located, and it is one of the most important places in Qingzhou County."
"If you are not a member of the government, according to the regulations, you are not allowed to enter, so the official will think of printing the influence first and then forwarding it."
"Now it seems that this official has taken it for granted, and now I can only ask Shao'an to come out and help me wait and find some clues."
"Please rest assured, no matter what the result is, Shao'an has already made a great contribution to my Qingzhou, and this official must remember it."
The state lord spoke quite well, first pointing out the rules and appeasing Chen Shaoan, which can be regarded as an explanation.
and then expressed his credit to Chen Shao'an, and even lowered his posture as the state lord.
In this way, Chen Shaoan naturally has no possibility of refusing.
Seeing this, Chen Shao'an of course had nothing to say, so he sat in his position under the guidance of the state lord after giving his hands over.
He also understood in his heart that the posture of the state lord was not for himself, but more for the prince with a gloomy face behind him.
Obviously, before this, something must have happened to the prince who was unhappy.
However, these are not up to Chen Shao'an to entangle.
As soon as they were seated in their seats, an official from the Heavenly Prison brought a wooden plate.
On this wooden plate, seventeen pieces of jade slips were neatly placed.
The governor explained on the side, "Among these jade slips are some of the images that I have seen through the Sky Mirror before, but because of some special relationships, they are seventeen different angles."
"At present, according to Shao'an's inference before, the path that the princess traveled back to the source, but nothing has been found."
The state lord gave a brief introduction, and Chen Shaoan was not ambiguous.
After nodding, he glanced at the Heavenly Mirror hanging in front of him, and then put his mind into the first jade slip and began to look at it.
At this moment, everyone is looking at Chen Shao'an with blank eyes.
Especially the prince Zhao Qiyun, he didn't blink his eyes, just stared so tightly.
Chen Shaojie and Sima Xue, although they are not qualified to speak here, their flying eyebrows can completely power the mood at the moment.
The state lord apologized in person, how refreshing.
After a few breaths, Chen Shaoan had already finished checking the contents of the first jade slip.
And Chen Shaoan's eyes were a little weird.
The content of this first jade slip is just to see the princess and her maidservant, who have just walked out of the palace arranged by the state lord, and there is no trace.
At this time, Chen Shao'an knew why there were seventeen jade slips in front of him.
"What's the catch?" A Qingzhou official who Chen Shaoan didn't know couldn't wait to ask when he saw Chen Shaoan open his eyes.
Chen Shao'an glanced at the other party, and then continued to pick up the second jade slip without managing money.
The official suddenly felt a trace of embarrassment, and then remembered that it seemed that the first time he looked at the Prison Mirror, it was only a few pictures, and it was gone.
And the situation of the second jade slip is similar to the first one.
The first one still saw the front, and the second one had only one back walking in the crowd, and it was gone.
Now that you know, there is nothing ambiguous, and you can start directly with the third and fourth pieces.
It wasn't until the seventeenth yuan was read that Chen Shaoan did
Leaning back in his chair, he closed his eyes and began to recall the images he had just seen.
And the state lord and the others naturally didn't dare to urge, so they could only wait quietly.
The time of half-burnt incense passed, and Chen Shao'anyu's eyes suddenly opened.
"Shao Anke has found out."
Seeing this scene, the state lord asked out loud.
Chen Shao'an frowned and said, "It's a bit of a discovery, but it's not complete."
"What about that?" Prince Zhao Qiyun asked first.
Chen Shaoan replied: "From the many images, we can see the whereabouts of the princess and her maidservant, and there is no rule to follow, just to see what shops are interested, so I went in to have a look."
"According to statistics, on this street, the princess has entered a total of thirty-nine shops, of which there are roughly jewelry shops, rouge gouache shops, cloth shops, and silk shops."
"Of the thirty-nine times I entered the store, only two of them, at the rouge gouache shop, there were signs of purchase, and the rest went in and went out."
Speaking of this, Chen Shaoan asked the prince Zhao Qiyun, "May I ask His Royal Highness the prince, whether Her Royal Highness the princess has enough money on him."
The prince Zhao Qiyun replied: "I am a royal child, but from the time I was born, I can enjoy the royal family."
"My sister, there are not many of them, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones should be out of the question."
Chen Shao'an continued to ask, "For example, a rouge gouache shop is mainly used by mortals, and practitioners rarely use it, even if the price is too high-end, the price is not too high."
"The princess is spending on this, but what scruples do she have?"
The prince Zhao Qiyun said: "Naturally, there are no scruples, my sister has never been stingy with expenses when she was in Beijing, and besides, she doesn't have to care about this."
"My father is very fond of Yu'er, but if there is anything good, Yu'er chooses it, and there is never a measurement in terms of money."
Chen Shao'an nodded: "That's right, Her Royal Highness is not a rouge gouache shop, but a number of them, including other stores."
"It can be seen from this that Her Royal Highness the princess's trip is mainly for fun and shopping, rather than any need for purchase."
At this time, a prefect frowned and said, "What Chen Gongzi said is some obvious things, what does this have to do with the disappearance."
"Please don't play dumb riddles and tell the clues as soon as possible."
"Now that the princess's situation is unknown, the sooner you find it, the more chance you will have to survive, if you delay the time, it is not a very good thing."
Chen Shaoan couldn't help but look at the prefect, and his eyes sharpened a little.
is called Chen Gongzi, not Shao'an Gongzi.
On this alone, Chen Shaoan judged that this person must be the prefect of the Liu family.
What to do if you are scolded.
Naturally, I want to go back.
"It's about the princess, Governor Liu is very anxious, and I'm naturally very anxious."
"But I'm not full-time here, there are some things that I can only think about slowly, and try not to let go of any possible clues."
"It's a pity that some thoughts just now came to mind, and they were interrupted by Governor Liu, and I didn't grasp them all of a sudden."
"Maybe it's still a humble ability to take on such a heavy responsibility."
Chen Shao'an stared at the prefect surnamed Liu, and said directly, his eyes did not have the slightest intention to avoid it.
Seeing that the two were a little deadlocked, the prince Zhao Qiyun's brows were already wrinkled, and there was a strong unkindness in his eyes when he looked at Governor Liu.
Seeing this, the state lord scolded: "Liu Yuanjia, you are so bold, so capable, you are on your own."
"After watching it for a long time, I didn't see you say a word, and now others are starting to speculate that they are here again."
"Someone, press Liu Yuanjia down, suspend him from his post to be handled, and then interrogate him later."
Liu Yuanjia's face turned gray, he didn't expect Chen Shao'an, the son, to dare to be the prince
And in front of the state lord, he is petty.
Shouldn't we find the princess's clues first?
Now it is almost equivalent to blackmailing the state lord and the prince.
After he was dragged out of the door, the governor said, "Please also ask Shaoan to continue to tell the facts of this case."
was pulled out on this occasion, and basically lost face, it is not difficult to see that the career of the prefect of Liu Yuanjia is basically a head here.
Hearing this, Chen Shaoan continued as if he didn't care: "Since the purpose of deciding Her Royal Highness the Princess is mainly to play, then I will definitely feel interested in some novel affairs."
"The people behind the scenes must also follow the calculations carried out at this point."
"The street that Her Royal Highness went to first is called Qingshui Street, and the street that you go through the alley is called Quancheng Road."
"When I went there before, I found a very interesting thing in the next place, if you are just playing and shopping, even if you want to go to Quancheng Road, most people will choose to walk through at the end of the street."
"And this alley, which is about two-thirds of the distance from Qingshui Street, is originally for play, and I have already walked two-thirds of the way, how can I not finish this street."
"Then it must be a little in front of this alley, someone has made a guide that makes Her Royal Highness choose to walk through the alley, and give up behind the street and not go."
"And this guide is either controlled by the person behind the scenes, or he is behind the scenes, so you can guide the princess at the right time, so that Her Royal Highness the princess is interested."
At this time, the god hunting Ji Jiwen suddenly exclaimed: "I know, at that time on Quancheng Road, there happened to be a big opera troupe from Nanzhou, who was singing on stage, presumably the princess went because of this."
