On the portrait, the suspect who was dictated by the ghost sisters and painted by Shen Lingxi is a middle-aged man in his forties.

He was not tall, but he was strong, like a practitioner. He has a square face, slender eyes, and no special facial features.

The only thing that makes a slight impression is that there is a light brown birthmark the size of a little thumb near the temple on the left side.

Shen Lingxi saw Chu Yan's face change, and asked suspiciously: "Has Your Highness ever seen the person on this portrait?" ”

Chu Yan took out a portrait from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi took the portrait and opened it to take a look, and saw that on the portrait, it was a thin and stiff old man.

Lao Suo's body was loosely dressed in the clothes of a eunuch, and it didn't fit very well.

If that's all there is to it, it's not unusual.

To Shen Lingxi's surprise, this old man was compared to the middle-aged man on the portrait she had just painted-

Except for being older and thinner, the general appearance is somewhat similar.

It's just that this old man is very old, his forehead is high and low, and there is a bulge on the left side near the bun line.

What's more, underneath that bulge, near the temple, there was also a small thumb belly-sized, brown birthmark.

Even the birthmark is exactly the same.

Shen Lingxi could almost conclude that this was the same person at different ages.

She described the drawing from the female ghost as the person looked like ten years ago.

And the portrait of Chu Yan is what this person looks like now!

It's really sleepy to send pillows, and it really bumped into them.

"Who is this person?" Shen Lingxi asked curiously.

Chu Yan: "It was the old eunuch who secretly assisted Danzhu and instructed Yu Linwei to do things for Danzhu that night. This portrait was drawn by the embroidered clothes envoy according to the description of the four Yu Linwei. ”

Shen Lingxi was stunned.

She had heard of this old eunuch.

After the embroidery envoy found out, the person who instructed the four Yulin guards to help Danzhu was him.

He is inseparable from Mu Xue'e's death.

Not only that, but he also instructed Yu Linwei behind the scenes to deliberately remove Mu Xue'e's body to the Dizang Palace.

Shen Lingxi asked suspiciously: "If he is the one who carved the name of the former crown princess on the wall of the Soul Lock Well Underground Palace, why did he deliberately remove Mu Xue'e's body to the Dizang Hall to lead people to discover the Soul Lock Well Underground Palace?" Isn't this a self-denial of sin? ”

"That's the weirdest part." Chu Yan said in a deep voice: "Moreover, since he can instruct those four Yu Linwei, why not directly let them expose the Soul Locking Well Underground Palace in front of people, but instead seek the near and far, we have to lead other Yu Linwei to discover this place when we are trying the case...... It's very puzzling. ”

Shen Ling's eyes moved slightly, and he pondered: "Is it ...... Deliberately rushing down to His Highness? ”

Chu Yan raised his eyes, "How do you say this?" ”

Shen Lingxi: "Before His Royal Highness tried the case, this case was still in the hands of Yulin Wei Dong Bixin, and Mu Shaoqing was also there at that time. If the Soul Lock Well Underground Palace is discovered in advance, the emperor may ask the internal guards to assist Mu Shaoqing in trying the case. ”

When Mu Huai'an heard this, his expression was solemn, and he echoed: "That's right, before the emperor left, he was worried that the affairs of the underground palace would cause His Highness's old illness to recur, so he asked the lower officials to stay and assist by the side." ”

Shen Lingxi: "That person must have understood the ability of the embroidered envoy, so when His Royal Highness was in the Dizang Palace, he didn't dare to act rashly, and when the embroidered envoy carried Mu Xue'e's body to Yuxiu Palace, and only Yu Linwei was left in the Dizang Palace, he secretly opened the entrance of the underground palace of the Soul Lock Well and led Yu Linwei down to check. ”

"Therefore, it is very likely that this whole thing was deliberately led by this old eunuch to check the underground palace and rush down to His Highness...... As for why he did this, we can only find out if we find this person. ”

Mu Huai'an frowned, "This Yongtai Palace is not very big, after the incident, the embroidered envoy and Yu Linwei have already blocked the entire palace, how could such a big living person disappear out of thin air?" Even if it's easy to disguise, it may not be completely flawless, right? ”

Chu Yan was silent.

Shen Lingxi took the portrait of the old eunuch, walked aside, put it on the table, and said to the female ghosts: "Please take a look, have you seen this person in the palace in the past few days?" ”

Although the portrait of Lao Suo is similar to the middle-aged man she had just painted, there are still some differences at first glance.

The people who are most familiar with the bricks and tiles in this palace, except for the palace people in the palace, are these female ghosts.

The female ghosts looked around the portrait for a while, and most of them shook their heads, saying "I have never seen it".

There was only one female ghost, who looked at the portrait repeatedly, stretched out her hand and pointed to the protrusion on the portrait where the person's forehead was close to the position of the bun, and said suspiciously: "Although I have never seen this person, but yesterday I saw a eunuch on his forehead, in this position, there is a red and swollen mosquito bag, and I was still laughing......"

"Where have you seen it?" Shen Lingxi hurriedly asked, "What does that person look like?" ”

The female ghost recalled: "It was a little eunuch in his early twenties, thin and small, looking very clever, on duty outside the study of Zhaode Palace, after the banquet, we followed the imperial grandson, went to the study to listen to the excitement, when I came out, I saw Li Yuejiao looking for a handkerchief near the study, it was this little eunuch who took the initiative to help Li Yuejiao find it." ”

Shen Lingxi thanked him, turned his head and told Chu Yan what the female ghost said.

"In my experience, although a transfiguring person can change his appearance, he cannot easily change his bone appearance and body shape. Since there is a bag on the man's forehead, even if it is disguised, there will be flaws, which is why the portrait painted by the embroiderer looks different on the forehead of the old man. ”

She said firmly: "Presumably, the little eunuch that the female ghost sister saw was the one who changed into an old man." Your Highness might as well ask Chunjun to check who was on duty outside the study yesterday, and he will definitely be able to find him. ”

Chu Yan bowed his head, turned around and went to arrange for Chunjun to investigate the matter.

This is the first time that Shen Lingxi has spoken to a ghost in front of Mu Huai'an.

Mu Huai'an was already stunned.

His gaze kept glancing back and forth between Shen Lingxi and her sight.

It was empty, there was nothing.

"You're just ...... Who are you talking to? ”

Shen Lingxi's "puppet technique" has already passed the clear road in front of the emperor.

Since they are going to investigate the case together in the future, she has no intention of continuing to hide it from Mu Huai'an.

"It's a revenant." Shen Lingxi looked at him and told him the truth: "I can see the souls of people after death, and the unsolved cases that I helped you solve before all stem from this ability." ”

Mu Huaian was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

It took him a long time before he regained his voice, a pair of peach blossom eyes staring at Shen Lingxi's eyes, unwilling to miss the slightest expression of her.

"Does Your Highness know that you can see ghosts?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

Shen Lingxi nodded: "I know." ”

Mu Huai'an took a deep breath, "When did he know?" Did you tell him? ”

Shen Lingxi didn't have time to answer-——

Chu Yan's voice had already come from the door.

"That's right, she was the one who told Lone, when Lone and she joined forces to end the lair of the Hidden Moon Pavilion in the Proton Mansion of the Barbarian Fang, Lone already knew. What, what is your opinion on this? ”
