There is no light in the dark, and today's night seems to be perfect for doing something that is not visible.

And at this moment, two shadows slowly approached the Shunjing Mansion along the surrounding alleys.

Soon, they came to the wall of the Shunjing Palace, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu glanced at each other, and then Duan Ming entered the wall with the "help" of Xing Qianqiu.

The palace was quiet, and only the sound of patrolling armor soldiers walking back and forth could be heard.

"Old Torture." Duan Ming leaned into Xing Qianqiu's ear, lowered his voice and said, "Where is Mengcheng's corpse?" ”

"I guess it's in his room." Xing Qianqiu said.

"And where's his room?" Duan Ming asked again.

"Looking for it, I haven't been here either, how do I know?" Xing Qianqiu spread his hands.

Then, the two hid in the shadows of trees and stone carvings, and carefully searched for them.

However, although it is said to be searching, it is not blindly searching.

Normally, the largest courtyard must belong to the prince.

The position of the general should not be too far from the prince's mansion, and at the same time, it is not too far from the location of the gate......

With this idea, it was much easier to find it next, and soon Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu locked on to a target.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the two of them walked quickly in that direction, and soon came to a large courtyard.

Soldiers patrolled the courtyard, and one of the central halls was brightly lit.

A huge coffin was placed in the hall, the sides of the coffin were lined with white flowers, and two children dressed in white knelt in front of the coffin, and a low cry came out of their mouths.

"This, where did this King Shunjing get these two little guys, it's like a haunting." Duan Ming muttered in a low voice.

"This is probably a custom in some places in the east, I have heard of it." Xing Qianqiu replied in a low voice: "These two children should belong to the spirit guiding boys, and in some places in the east they guide the spirits of the dead soldiers. ”

"I see." Duan Ming nodded: "But since the mourning hall is here, Mengcheng's residence should be nearby." Now that there are people here, we have no way to check on Meng Cheng's body, so let's go and see his house first. ”

"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu nodded.

Soon, the two found their room in Monteong.

Quietly entered the house, the room was dark and in a mess, all kinds of weapons and books were scattered all over the ground, and there were pools of blood on the ground.

"That's not right......" After carefully examining the bloodstains, Duan Ming's brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Xing Qianqiu asked.

"Look at the location of this bloodstain, it's near the desk, and there are open books next to it." Duan Ming pointed to the desk and said, "It is very likely that the deceased was reading a book before he died. ”

"Well, I've heard of Mengcheng in the past, this is a Confucian general, who can write and martial arts, what's the problem with reading?" Xing Qianqiu said.

"At first glance, there is no problem." Duan Ming said: "Although the things around are a little messy, there are no blood stains, only there are blood stains here, which proves that the deceased should have died in this location." ”

"The shape of the blood splash is fan-shaped, which is roughly regular, which proves that the deceased did not actually struggle too much, and should have been killed with one blow."

"But a general like Meng Cheng, even in the palace, should be very vigilant, how can there be a situation where someone is killed by one blow?"

"Besides, this position is the outside of the desk, why didn't the deceased read at the desk, but stood here and read?"

"I seem to get it." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Either Meng Cheng is reading books wholeheartedly and ignoring the killing machine, or someone is standing here at that time, and Meng Cheng is defenseless against it." ”

"That's right." Duan Ming nodded: "But there is still a possibility......

While Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu were talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu were shocked, and were about to leave here, when they saw black shadows breaking through doors and windows, and crossbow arrows were aimed at the two of them.

"Sure enough, you dare to come back!" The next moment, a rough voice came from outside the door, and then a man in a python robe slowly walked in: "The general who killed me, dare to come back!" ”

"King Shunjing!" Xing Qianqiu's brows furrowed slightly: "Don't get me wrong, I am the commander of the Spiegel Division Xing Qianqiu, and I came to investigate the death of General Mengcheng." ”

"Humph!" King Shunjing looked at Xing Qianqiu and snorted coldly: "Investigation? Is there a time to investigate? ”

Then King Shunjing raised his hand: "Kill him......"

"Wait!" Duan Ming hurriedly shouted, "I know who killed Meng Cheng!" ”

"Huh? What did you say? King Shunjing's movements paused, and his eyes were fixed on Duan Ming's face: "Who is it?" ”

"I have a rough guess in my mind right now, but who it is, you have to give me some time and let me investigate." Duan Ming hurriedly said, "Moreover, I want to see General Meng's body." ”

"This king doesn't have that idle time, this king sees you as ......," King Shunjing said in a deep voice.

"The killer has a close relationship with Mengcheng, and his martial arts are very high." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "Since he can kill General Meng, it is possible to hurt you, Lord Wang." Even, that person may be your cronies! ”

"Nonsense." King Shunjing shook his head: "Which prince's subordinate are you?" Still trying to stir up a wedge between us? ”

"I'm not provoking." Duan Ming said: "General Mengcheng was killed by a single blow, and if my guess is correct, he should have been pierced through the body with a sharp weapon in the back and died. ”

"Judging by the environment in this room, it's chaotic, but it's not caused by fighting. It's more like someone rummaging through something. ”

"Hehe, what does all this mean?" King Shunjing looked at Duan Ming.

"First, the murderer has a close relationship with General Meng, and only in this way will a battle-hardened hero like General Meng show his back in front of him without doubt;"

"Second, General Meng still has a very, very important thing in his hands, which is very likely to be related to you, the prince." Duan Ming said directly.

"You've got some skills, but what do you say that thing is?" King Shunjing's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Duan Ming tightly.

"Border city defense map." Xing Qianqiu said at this time: "Every time the Five Dynasty Saints, the five princes need to adjust the border deployment, so they often bring the border city defense map for communication. ”

"General Meng is capable of writing and martial arts, and is deeply trusted by the prince. In addition, the form of Cambrian City is now changing, and it is most reasonable for the prince to hand over the border city defense map to General Meng for safekeeping. ”

"Haha, it is worthy of being the world's first lame sixth and the commander of the Spiegel Division, this king admires." King Shunjing nodded: "I didn't even see the corpse, just looking at the state in this room, I can deduce so much, it is worthy of the name!" ”

Then King Shunjing waved his hand, and the people around him put away their weapons.

Immediately afterwards, King Shunjing said to Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu: "The death of Mengcheng has two Lao!" ”
