"Go to the Chu Hou Mansion? Isn't this time to avoid this problem? Meng Changhai wondered.

"No, it's impossible to avoid it completely." Duan Ming said: "There are two things for you to go to Chu Hou's Mansion, the first is to invite Chu Hou to Chunyu Tower for a banquet tomorrow night, just say that the county lord has been invited. ”

"Why?" Xing Qianqiu asked.

"As the descendant of King Jing'an, the relationship between Chu Hou is irreversible, and he is no different from his elders to the county lord." Duan Ming said: "And even if the county lord is in love, it is impossible to make a rude move. So normally, as long as the county lord comes to this Linyang City, he will inevitably meet the Marquis of Chu. ”

"That's right." Li Wan'er nodded: "Every time Uncle Chu goes to Kyoto, he will deliberately go to me and take me out to play." So, normally, it's impossible for me not to visit him when I come to Linyang City. ”

"That's right, it's too much of a suspicion, and sometimes it becomes a bigger suspicion." Duan Ming said: "Go and invite Chu Hou openly, and when the time comes, there will be the deputy commander of the Spiegel Division to make Xing Qianqiu in charge, even if others want to do anything or spread nonsense, it will be difficult to justify themselves." ”

"It's, indeed." Xing Qianqiu thought for a while and said, "Do you need to bring someone else?" ”

"Of course not, everything must pay attention to a degree, and such a thing as self-proof of innocence is too much." Duan Ming said: "And the county lord of Wan'er invited Chu Hou to dinner, in the final analysis, it is a family banquet. There are county lords, you, Chu Hou, and Meng seniors above the family banquet, which is enough. ”

"Indeed, if there are too many people, it will seem that we want to cover up." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.

"Exactly." Duan Ming said with a smile.

"Duan boy, you said two things. What's the other piece? Meng Changhai looked at Duan Ming.

"Inquire if Chu Hou has recently accepted any new staff, or doormen or something." Duan Ming pondered for a moment and said.

"Are you suspicious, there is a ...... by Chu Hou's side" Xing Qianqiu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Not a suspicion, but a certainty." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "When Chu Hou came to us today, he actually fell into a trap, which can be regarded as entering the game. But what are the benefits of Chu Hou entering the game? ”

"Except for letting Chu Hou and my father stand on the cusp of the storm, there is no benefit." Li Wan'er said.

"That's right. So there must be someone around Chu Hou who is designing him. Duan Ming said: "If there is no such person, it is Chu Hou who is designing King Jing'an!" ”

"I see. Don't worry, I'll be sure to inquire clearly. Meng Changhai nodded, and then said to Xing Qianqiu: "The county lord will hand it over to you to protect." ”

"Don't worry." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.

"So, what do we do next?" After Meng Changhai left, Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming again.

"What else can I do? It's so late, of course, it's sleeping. Duan Ming stretched his waist, and then left straight away in the eyes of everyone.

"This ......" Xu Shizhong was stunned and looked at Xing Qianqiu: "Command ......"

"Go and prepare a room for the county lord to have a good rest." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "Then you should also go and rest." ”

"Yes!" Xu Shizhong left in a hurry......

Early the next morning, when Duan Ming came to the hall, Xing Qianqiu and Li Wan'er were already waiting here.

"Mr. Duan, Uncle Meng has already come back yesterday to say it." Li Wan'er said to Duan Ming: "I have already made an appointment with Chu Hou." However, the man hadn't found out yet, and Uncle Meng wanted to see it again. ”

"Okay." Duan Ming nodded: "What about Lao Xu?" ”

"I asked him to go to the Spring Rain Building to make a reservation." Xing Qianqiu said: "Mr. Duan, what are your plans for today? ”

"I'm going to Meridian Street again." Duan Ming said: "It was a little late to go yesterday, and the sky was dark, today I want to take advantage of the dawn to take a look, and by the way, ask the people around me to see if anyone has any special clues." ”

"Then I'll go with you." Xing Qianqiu said.

"Nope." Duan Ming shook his head: "You and Lord Wan'er have more important tasks. ”

"What task?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.

"It's very simple, the scenery of the Surin River is beautiful, don't you take the Wan'er County Lord to take a boat ride on Surin?" Duan Ming said with a smile.

"Boating ......" Xing Qianqiu frowned: "Do you want the real people in Linyang City to see us together?" But in this way, even if I avoid the problem of being suspected by His Majesty, I will not escape the crime of delaying the investigation. ”

"Beauty Township, Hero's Tomb. Your Majesty likes Lord Wan'er, so he won't be too embarrassed by you. Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "Besides, who said that letting you and Wan'er County Lord go boating in Surin is really just hanging out?" ”

"Oh? So what else do I need to pay attention to? Xing Qianqiu asked.

"When I went back yesterday, I thought about it again, and then I thought of a very strange thing." Duan Ming said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter?" Li Wan'er asked suspiciously.

Yesterday, she had learned about the entire case from Xing Qianqiu, but she didn't feel anything wrong.

"There are twelve hours in a day, so why do the hundred ghosts travel at night, but choose the time of day?" Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "Also, in fact, there was a contradiction in the words of Chu Hao, Chen Zheng, Sun Wu, and Sun Shi before. ”

"Contradictions? What does it have to do with the hour? Xing Qianqiu pondered.

"That's right. According to Sun Wu and Sun, after the moon horse, they heard a sound like the wind and a cry, so many people who lived in Nancheng went home together. Duan Ming said: "However, they didn't see the hundred ghosts walking at night until they walked to Meridian Street, so who made the strange sound before?" ”

"You mean, someone deliberately made a noise in order to scare the people? But what's the benefit? Xing Qianqiu pondered.

"The benefits are many." Duan Ming replied with a smile: "First, this can scare the timid people home, and then let more people witness the night walk of the hundred ghosts." Second, you can plant a seed in people's hearts, a haunted seed. ”

"In this way, when people see a ghost, they almost don't think much about it, and they automatically think it's a ghost."

"Even if there are some mistakes, they will be automatically filled in by people's heads, and there will be no flaws at all."

"So, you'd like us to see where that voice is coming from?" Xing Qianqiu asked.

"That's right. In the meantime, I'd like you to take a look at the starting point of Tsukima. Duan Ming said: "The appearance of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walking and the Moon Horse at the same time, I suspect it is not a coincidence. Maybe the moon horse is the signal of the night walk of the hundred ghosts, I hope you can go and see if you can find some clues. ”

"Okay, leave it to us." Xing Qianqiu nodded, and at the same time frowned: "But, Mr. Duan, you ......"

"Don't worry, if it's bright and broad daylight, can I still encounter any danger?" Duan Ming said with a smile......
