Volume 4: The Case of the Spiegel Chapter 103: Dong Lao

Now that they had asked what they needed to ask, Duan Ming and Li Wan'er left the prison.

When Ban Sheng saw it, he hurriedly rushed into the prison and was relieved to find that Xing Qianqiu was still honestly staying in the prison.

He was really afraid that Li Wan'er would play the "game" of robbing the prison on a whim.

After leaving the prison, Duan Ming and Li Wan'er found a secluded place.

"Mr. Duan, what should I do next?" Li Wan'er asked with some concern.

Through the dialogue with Xing Qianqiu, Li Wan'er deeply felt that this case may be very dangerous.

Especially before they left, Xing Qianqiu said: "This time must be very, very dangerous, I can't protect you, you must pay attention to safety." ”

"To solve this case." Duan Ming pondered slightly, and then said, "We can only start from four aspects at present. ”

"First, the blood sedan chair; second, paper figures; the whereabouts of the third and fourth concubines; Fourth, who designed it in Xing Qianqiu's house. Duan Ming said in a deep voice.

"The most important thing is to find out who designed it in Xing Qianqiu's house." Duan Ming said: "As long as you find this, you can prove the innocence of Xing Qianqiu, and then let him come out of the prison." ”

"As long as Xing Qianqiu comes out, we will have a lot more time, and at the same time, we will have Spiegel as a helper."

"Then how should I check this?" Li Wan'er said, "How can I help? ”

"There's almost nowhere to start." Duan Ming sighed: "Judging from the relationship between Xing Qianqiu and Dugu Haoyue, even if Dugu Haoyue designed to frame Xing Qianqiu, I don't feel unusual. ”

"And the Voodoo villain is small in size and easy to carry. It is entirely possible that Dugu Haoyue took it to Xing Qianqiu's bedroom and planted it. ”

"This ......" Li Wan'er nodded: "But we are not qualified to investigate him Dugu Haoyue at all." ”

"Even if it is investigated, it will have no effect, and Dugu Haoyue can completely disadmit it." Duan Ming sighed.

"Indeed." Li Wan'er sighed.

"By the way, Xing Qianqiu is here as much as possible, the blood sedan chair or something is in the palace, can you take me to the palace to have a look?" Duan Ming looked at Li Wan'er.

"I want to find a way, but it is difficult to enter the palace except for some special people, or people who have been summoned by His Majesty." Li Wan'er said.

"That's it, it's really not like that, can't you enter the palace at will? If you let me dress up as your little girl, a scholar or something, and follow you in. Duan Ming said.

"Where did you hear about these practices?" The corners of Li Wan'er's mouth twitched slightly.

"Huh? That's what is said in the commentary. Duan Ming said.

"If the palace was so easy to enter, would it be okay?" Li Wan'er sighed: "Although I can enter and leave the palace at will, I can only go to some specific places. At the same time, I can only go in by myself, and even Uncle Meng can't follow. ”

"By the way, where did the old Meng seniors go? Hasn't he been with you all the time? Duan Ming asked.

"Uncle Meng only accompanies me when I go out to protect my safety. On weekdays, when I'm in Kyoto, he doesn't follow. Li Wan'er said: "And there seems to be some problems recently, my father asked Uncle Meng to go out." ”

"Oh." Duan Ming scratched his head: "Then do you have any way?" If I don't see the blood sedan with my own eyes, I'm afraid I can't do anything. ”

"In this way, I'll go into the palace now, beg the queen mother, and see if the queen mother can help." Li Wan'er said.

"Okay, then the county lord, you go to the palace to try it first, and I'll go find the housekeeper Uncle Dong that the old torture said." Duan Ming said.

"Okay." Li Wan'er nodded, then got up and left.

Duan Ming looked at Li Wan'er's back and muttered to himself: "This old torture is really blessed." ”

Then Duan Ming got up and walked in the direction of Xing Qianqiu's house.

Soon, Duan Ming came to Xing Qianqiu's house, although His Majesty sent Xing Qianqiu to the prison, but did not seal the house.

However, the house has long been empty, and the maids and servants have long been gone.

When Duan Ming pushed open the door of the house, only an old man was sweeping the snow in the courtyard with a broom.

"It's all gone." Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man didn't raise his head.

"Uncle Dong, it was the old torturer who asked me to come." Duan Ming said in a deep voice.

Hearing Duan Ming's words, the old man's body trembled, and he raised his head stiffly to look at Duan Ming, with tears in his eyes: "You, what did you say?" ”

"It was the old torturer who asked me to come." Duan Ming said again.

"Quick, get inside." The old man who was called Dong Lao hurriedly led Duan Ming into the hall, and then asked nervously, "Young Master, what did Young Master say?" How is he? ”

"Don't worry, the old sentence is fine now." Duan Ming hurriedly said, he was really afraid that the old man in front of him would be too excited and pass out.

"Great, great." Dong Lao suddenly burst into tears.

"That, Dong Lao, don't get excited, I'm here to find out something from you." Duan Ming hurriedly said.

"Ah, please. Oh, by the way, hot water, I haven't made tea for my son yet......" Dong Lao said and was about to leave.

"No need to bother!" Duan Ming hurriedly interrupted: "Time is pressing, and I will make a long story short, I am here this time to investigate the Voodoo villain incident." Dong Lao, what do you know? ”

"Voodoo villain?" Dong Lao sighed: "I don't know what is going on, I went to clean up the young master's room that morning, and there was obviously nothing." But when Dugu Haoyue came, he found four voodoo villains inside! ”

"You've been in this morning?" Duan Ming's brows furrowed slightly.

"Yes, I went in the morning, but I didn't see any voodoo villains." Dong Lao said: "Moreover, what the young master hates the most is these strange and chaotic things, how can it be possible to make a voodoo villain!" ”

"So, since you left, has anyone else entered his bedroom that day?" Duan Ming asked.

"Nope." Dong Lao shook his head: "The young master is a member of the Spiegel Division, and there are not many people who offend on weekdays, so I never allow anyone to enter the young master's bedroom on weekdays, in order to prevent someone from assassinating the young master." ”

"Are you sure no one will go in?" Duan Ming said.

"If you're going to say you're pretty sure, you're not." Dong Lao said: "After all, the young master's mansion is not small, and I can't keep staring at the young master's bedroom......"

"That said, you can't be sure exactly when the Voodoo villain entered the torture bedroom." Duan Ming pondered: "Then is it possible that the old torturer hid the voodoo villain before, and you didn't find it when you went in?" ”
