Looking at the crooked and bloody words on the ground, at this moment, even Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel that her scalp was numb, and a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to the Tianling Gai!

It's really that this scene is too infiltrating.

Especially when I think of the strange murder of the ghost in the wedding dress last night, I feel even more terrifying when I look at the scene in front of me.

The female ghost's wedding dress disappeared for no reason, leaving behind such a bloody sentence "Everyone must die", what its meaning is, it is self-explanatory!

The ghost of the wedding dress, I'm afraid she will commit murder again!

Xiao Yu's face changed slightly, and the guards guarding the door were even more pale, with a frightened face, and Mo Wanshan, the general of Qianniu Wei, was also frowning at the moment, with a puzzled face: "Why is it gone?" ”

"After we found the wedding dress last night, it was obviously placed here, why did it disappear?"

As he spoke, he turned his head directly to look at the guards and said, "You've been guarding the door, haven't you heard any movement?" ”

The guard hurriedly shook his head: "The subordinates don't dare to have any slackness, their spirits have been tense, they haven't even dozed off, and they really haven't heard any movement in the room." ”

"What's going on?" Mo Wanshan couldn't figure it out at all.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and couldn't help but say, "Lin Sizheng, what do you think?" ”

Hearing Mo Wanshan's question, Xiao Yu and the guards also quickly turned their eyes to Lin Feng.

I saw Lin Feng stretch out his finger and lightly wipe it on the blood words on the ground, then he raised his fingertips, looked at the clean fingers, and said: "The blood stains have dried up, it seems that the time for writing is not short, it should be written before dawn." ”

"Before dawn?" When the guard heard this, his face couldn't help but turn pale, he couldn't help but tremble, and said, "Should it be...... It can't really be a ghost, right? Could it be that the ghost of the wedding dress came back and took away the wedding dress? ”

"Nonsense!"

Mo Wanshan scolded: "How can there be ghosts in this world, it is obvious that someone is pretending to be a ghost!" ”

The guards were a little in awe of Mo Wanshan, and hurriedly shrank their necks.

Lin Feng got up and swept his gaze across the room.

I saw that this room is very simple to decorate, it should be a guest room for entertaining guests, the room is very spacious, a screen divides the room into two parts, there are tables and stools outside, it is the reception area, and behind the screen is the dresser, wardrobe and bed, which is the rest area.

Windows are very common mullioned windows, the kind that cannot be opened and closed, and it is certain that no one can enter the room through the window.

Thinking about it, Lin Feng raised his head again and looked at the roof.

In the Half Moon Temple, the real murderer and Huiyun are the Buddha halls that enter through the roof.

Could it be that the same method is used in this room?

But after a little contemplation, Lin Feng ruled out this possibility.

The reason why the real murderer and Huiyun were able to enter through the roof of the house was because after the night, the nuns were resting, and there was no one else around the Buddha hall at all, so the real murderer and Huiyun didn't have to be afraid of being exposed at all.

But the East Palace is different.

There was a strange death of the envoy, and there was a ghost in the wedding dress flying in front of everyone, so it is conceivable that there must have been many guards patrolling back and forth last night, not to mention that there were guards standing guard outside the door.

It is difficult for thieves not to alarm the guards at the door, and not to be detected by the guards patrolling back and forth.

And there was no trace of moss on the ground, not even the slightest trace of dust, which was enough to prove that the thieves did not enter through the roof.

But the windows can't enter, the door is guarded, and the roof can't be entered...... How did the thief get in?

Lin Feng didn't believe in the ghost of the wedding dress, the wedding dress would disappear, it must have been taken by the thief, but how did he not alarm the guards at the door to take it?

And there's an even more important point...... Why take away the wedding dress?

Taking the wedding dress is definitely a risky thing to take when someone is guarding, why would he risk taking it?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the wedding dress?

But if there is a problem with the wedding dress, why is it discovered by the guards?

After pretending to be a ghost, why don't you just hide the wedding dress?

Is it impossible to hide? Or is there something else going on?

Lin Feng's brain flashed countless thoughts in an instant, and many thoughts kept churning in his mind.

While thinking, Lin Feng's gaze once again fell on the blood words on the ground.

That guy who pretended to be a ghost just took the wedding dress, why did he leave such a word on the ground?

Is it conceited? A teaser before you kill?

Or is it deliberately scary, trying to cause panic?

Or is there another purpose?

Lin Feng squinted, his eyes flickering.

He had anticipated the difficulty of this case before he came, and now it seems that his inference is really correct, and the complexity of this case is probably more complicated than any previous case.

When I first came to the East Palace, I didn't even see the master, the prince, and there were already so many incomprehensible things.

And this is just a wedding dress, and the more critical matter of the death of the envoy has not even been touched by himself......

Lin Feng took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the guard, and said, "Since the wedding dress was put in this room last night, you have been standing at the door and have not left an inch?" For such a long time, you haven't even been to a thatched house? ”

When the guard heard this, he hurriedly said: "I have been to the thatched house, but before going to the thatched house, the last general will lock the door first, and at the same time go to the patrolling brothers, let them help the last general guard this place, and then let him leave when the last general returns." ”

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "How did you find someone to replace you?" Is it the patrol guards who walk by the door and you shout, or do you want to leave here for a while to find them? ”

The guard said: "They have all been ......"

"Then how much time does it take for you to leave here and find a patrol guard to replace you?"

The guard thought for a moment, and then said, "It's very short, because there were a lot of brothers on patrol last night, and it was only thirty breaths at most. ”

"Thirty Breath ......"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Who are they?" ”

The guard was about to answer, but suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened, his pupils suddenly dilated at this moment, and his originally calm face suddenly became hideous.

I saw that the blood vessels on his forehead were entrenched in an instant, and his expression was full of extreme horror, as if he had seen something terrible.

"Don't ...... Don't ......"

His eyes stared at Lin Feng's back, screaming in horror without warning, his voice sharp and full of fear that could not be hidden.

This sudden scene directly made Lin Feng and the others stunned.

Mo Wanshan was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Last night, last night, the appearance of the Tibetan envoy going crazy, that's it!" ”

Hearing Mo Wanshan's words, Lin Feng's face changed slightly, Xiao Yu's pupils shrank directly, and goosebumps instantly stood up.

"Wu San! What happened to you!? What do you see!? Mo Wanshan hurriedly yelled at the guards.

But the guards just stared at Lin Feng's back in horror, as if there was a great terror behind Lin Feng, and completely ignored Mo Wanshan's words.

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but look back.

But there was nothing behind him except the hanger where the wedding dress had hung before.

At this scene, Rao is Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

What did the guard Wu San see that made him frightened like that?

Lin Feng thought for a while, then pointed to the hanger behind him, and said, "Are you afraid of it?" ”

The guards didn't know if they heard Lin Feng's words, and suddenly screamed: "Don't kill me, don't kill me......"

While screaming, he rushed straight out.

At the same time, he grabbed his face with both hands, and directly scratched a wound on his face, and the originally intact face was directly blurred with flesh and blood.

But he didn't seem to know the pain, and still scratched his face over and over again.

Mo Wanshan watched his men rush out in a frenzy, and hurriedly rushed out, while shouting to the other guards: "Stop him, hurry!" ”

When the surrounding guards heard this, they hurriedly rushed towards Wu San.

But before they could get close to Wu San, they saw Wu San stop without warning.

Then he raised his head and looked at the sun hanging in mid-air, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell straight backwards like this.

When Mo Wanshan and the others approached, they saw that his eyes were wide, and his face was full of extreme horror, but his breath had been cut off.

Mo Wanshan's face was extremely ugly, he slammed the ground with his fist angrily, turned his head to look at Lin Feng and Xiao Yu with a frown, and said, "It's dead." ”

Listening to Mo Wanshan's words, Xiao Yu's pupils trembled violently.

Originally, they came to investigate the case.

But as a result, before the official investigation began, there was a guard of the East Palace, in front of their eyes, so strangely crazy and died!

Wu San's death seemed to make Xiao Yu hear a sneer ringing in his ears, which was the real murderer's provocation and disdain for them...... Wu San's death method in the same way as the Tibetan envoys, there is no doubt that it was the real murderer behind the scenes!

And it was definitely not an accident that the real murderer let Wu San die in front of them...... This is obvious, the real murderer did it deliberately!

The real murderer is doing this to tell them that the real murderer is not afraid of them to investigate!

As long as the real murderer wants to kill, they can't stop it!

Xiao Yu has been an official for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen such a bold thief, but ...... He watched Wu San go crazy and die, but he didn't notice anything abnormal.

I don't know exactly how the real murderer did it!

The strangeness of this case and the provocation of the real murderer made Xiao Yu feel great pressure, and at the same time, he couldn't help but worry about Lin Feng.

After all, he knew very well what this case meant to Lin Feng.

Once it can't be cracked, it will be the Infernal Abyss! Lin Feng will be crushed!

But this case is so difficult to handle, what should Lin Feng do?

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, and saw that Lin Feng was not standing in place with a sad face, but had already come to Wu San's side, and was squatting down to check Wu San's situation.

Lin Feng looked at Wu San's corpse, and his gaze fell on Wu San's face first.

I saw that Wu San's face was full of bloody wounds at the moment, and there was no good skin...... If it weren't for the fact that they had seen Wu San scratch his face with their own eyes, they wouldn't have recognized this person as Wu Sanlai just by this bloody face.

Lin Feng thought back to Wu San's appearance when he went crazy, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

No matter how he thought back to the picture at that time, he didn't find any signs or reasons for Wu San to go crazy, and Wu San went crazy without any warning.

Why do you suddenly go crazy?

And Wu San kept looking behind him at the time, and after he asked Wu San if he was afraid of a hanger, Wu San ran away with a strange scream...... Does this prove that Wu San is indeed afraid of hangers?

But what's wrong with the hanger?

The wedding dress is gone, only some dried blood on it, other than that, nothing special, right?

And Wu San didn't see the hanger at first sight, he had seen the hanger for a while, why was he suddenly afraid?

Many doubts were entrenched in Lin Feng's mind, making Lin Feng unable to clarify for a while.

He took a deep breath and asked Mo Wanshan, who had an ugly face, "Is the Tibetan envoy exactly the same as his death last night?" ”

Mo Wanshan said: "Except that the Tibetan envoys did not scratch their faces like this, they are basically the same. ”

Lin Feng said: "When the Tibetan envoys were most frightened, what did they see? ”

Mo Wanshan frowned and said, "It's the ghost of the wedding dress flying in the air......"

"It's normal to be afraid of the ghost of the wedding dress...... But why is Wu San afraid of hangers? Lin Feng looked puzzled.

Mo Wanshan guessed: "Could it be because that hanger used to have the wedding dress of the wedding ghost?" ”

Lin Feng smiled: "Isn't Mo Zhonglang not believing in ghosts and gods?" How? Could it be that General Mo Zhonglang thought that there was really some ghost in the wedding dress, and after she took away her wedding dress, she left her yin qi on the hanger, so she scared Wu San? ”

When Mo Wanshan heard this, his expression was a little embarrassed, he touched his nose and said, "The general is just guessing randomly, but I can't think of any other reason besides this reason." ”

Lin Feng understood Mo Wanshan, let alone Mo Wanshan, he recalled Wu San's frightened appearance at that time, and his scalp was a little numb.

He lowered his head again and looked at Wu San's corpse.

A man can lie and deceive, but a corpse will never deceive.

Moreover, Wu San died in front of him, and others could not do anything to the corpse in front of him, so Lin Feng could be sure that the murderer would never be able to do anything to Wu San, maybe the evidence of Wu San's madness and death would be left on the corpse.

He lifted Wu San's head and carefully examined Wu San's face.

The only thing that distinguishes Wu San from the Tibetan envoys is that he scratches his face.

Does this mean anything?

But Wu San scratched his face with blurred flesh and blood, and he couldn't see anything at all......

Lin Feng frowned, he pondered for a moment, looked at Mo Wanshan, and said, "Can you find me a separate room?" I'm going to take a good look at Wu San's body. ”

When Mo Wanshan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Of course! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the next room and said, "This room is fine." ”

Lin Feng nodded and said, "I'm sorry for you, help me move the corpse in." ”

The guards naturally would not refuse, they quickly helped Lin Feng carry Wu San into the big table in the room, and Lin Feng let everyone leave.

Then he cooperated with Xiao Yu, first taking off the armor on Wu San's body, and then removing his clothes one by one.

Finally, Lin Feng began to carefully inspect every skin on Wu San's body, carefully inspecting every detail of Wu San.

Although Xiao Yu is not a professional autopsy, after all, he has been a prison officer for many years and has some experience.

While following Lin Feng to check, he said, "Wu San doesn't have any wounds on his body, nor does he have any traces of bruises, it seems that he didn't suffer any injuries before he died...... His death should have nothing to do with trauma. ”

Lin Feng nodded, agreeing with Xiao Yu's judgment, he said, "If it's not an external injury, it's an internal injury, maybe it's an internal injury...... Or, poisoning! ”

"Poisoned?"

Xiao Yu frowned: "If it was poisoning, it should have been found out last night, but no one said anything about poisoning, it shouldn't be poisoning." ”

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, but said, "I don't think you can easily draw conclusions." ”

Xiao Yu's heart moved, he hurriedly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, did you find something?" ”

Lin Feng looked at the corpse on the table and said, "The cause of death of the deceased must be confirmed, if you don't even know how the person died, there will be no way to move on to the next step in this case...... Therefore, it is necessary to allow further inspection. ”

"Further inspection? How to check? ”

"Anatomy! Look at the deceased's internal organs and blood vessels to determine how exactly he died. ”

Xiao Yu listened to Lin Feng's words, frowned, and said, "This is not something that ordinary people can do...... And the Tibetans may not be willing to let us dissect its envoys. ”

Lin Feng said: "It's not that ordinary servants can do it, it means that there must be powerful servants who can do it, so invite him over!" As for the dissection, the Tibetan envoys are not good at dissecting, so then dissect Wu San! ”

"Wu San and the Tubo envoys obviously have the same cause of death, and they only need to dissect one......" Speaking of this, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "The real murderer is afraid that we won't be able to solve the case, and deliberately let Wu San die in front of us when we come to investigate, if we don't use Wu San to find out the cause of death, wouldn't it be sorry for the real murderer's contribution to us?" ”

Xiao Yu could naturally hear Lin Feng's counterwords.

But Lin Feng's words really aroused his urge to find out the cause of death and find out the real murderer, this real murderer is really too provocative, not letting this guy lift a stone to hit his own feet, Xiao Yu can't swallow this breath!

He immediately said: "This matter is handed over to this official...... Two years ago, he stopped doing an autopsy because of his age, but he knew where he lived, and even if he was tied up, he would be tied up and brought to you for an autopsy. ”

Lin Feng bowed his hand to Xiao Yu: "Thank you Xiao Gong." ”

Xiao Yu understood Lin Feng's pressure, he waved his hand and said: "Even if there is no order from His Majesty, let this official fully cooperate with you, this official will help you, even if you go to investigate, if you have any needs, tell this official directly, no matter what, this official will help you solve it!" ”

Is this the charm of the boss? Inexplicably reassuring.

Lin Feng nodded heavily.

He carefully examined Wu San's body again, and after confirming that he had not missed anything, he left the room with Xiao Yu.

Outside the room, Mo Wanshan hurriedly asked, "Lin Sizheng, how is it?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "No external injuries were found, how did he die, and he still needs to be further examined." ”

Xiao Yu said: "The official will order someone to find a suitable job, General Mo Zhonglang, you let people stay outside the door, no one is allowed to contact Wu San, and after the official is looking for a job, let him do an autopsy." ”

When Mo Wanshan heard this, he naturally did not hesitate, and said directly: "The last general understands!" ”

Saying that, Xiao Yu turned around directly and ordered someone to look for him.

And Lin Feng pondered for a moment, looked at Mo Wanshan, and said, "General Mo Zhonglang, I'll be tired of you for a while, help me ask which guards stood guard last night when Wu San went to the toilet, and the official has something to ask them." ”

Mo Wanshan nodded and said, "This matter is not difficult, I will ask people to help Lin Sizheng ask." ”

"Thank you."

Lin Feng thanked Mo Wanshan and said, "Wu San said that before he went to the toilet, he had locked the door with a lock, but I don't know where the lock is?" ”

When Mo Wanshan heard this, he turned around directly, took the lock hanging outside the room, handed the lock to Lin Feng, and said, "This is the lock." ”

Lin Feng took the lock and looked at it carefully for a moment.

Xiao Yu returned at this time, and when he saw Lin Feng checking the lock, he asked, "How?" Can there be signs of destruction? ”

Lin Feng shook his head: "There are no scratches near the keyhole, no traces of destruction......

He looked at Mo Wanshan again and said, "Who has the key to this lock?" ”

Mo Wanshan said: "Only the steward of the East Palace and Wu Sanyou. ”

Lin Feng saw that Mo Wanshan's tone was firm, and he couldn't help but say, "So sure? ”

Mo Wanshan nodded: "There are rules in the East Palace, all the locks and keys must be kept by the East Palace steward, once necessary, the East Palace steward will draw one from hundreds of locks by lottery...... After putting the wedding dress here last night, the steward drew a lock by drawing lots, and then personally handed over the lock and key to Wu San, without passing through anyone else's hands. ”

"Therefore, the key, only the steward and Wu San have it, and no one else has it."

Lin Feng listened to Mo Wanshan's words, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there are many royal rules.

But it can't be denied that with such an approach, security is indeed greatly improved.

As long as you don't copy all the keys, it's hard to do bad things, after all, which lock will be used is completely random, and there are not enough keys to ensure that the lock is exactly the one you own the key.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then turned the lock back to Mo Wanshan, and said: "We have delayed a lot of time, let's go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, after meeting His Highness, this official wants to meet the steward of the East Palace." ”

When Mo Wanshan heard this, he would not object, he nodded and said, "I will arrange it." ”

Lin Feng arched his hand: "Thank you!" ”

After speaking, Lin Feng did not delay any longer, and followed Mo Wanshan with Xiao Yu to the prince's bedroom.

In front of the dormitory.

Lin Feng found that the guards here were very strict.

Outside the dormitory, there were dozens of soldiers in armor, staring at everyone who came and went.

At the entrance of the dormitory, there are palace guards guarding it, and even the maids and eunuchs of the East Palace have to go through checks and searches again and again.

"The palace guards are here...... It seems that Li Shimin is really concerned about Li Chengqian's safety, and even the people in the East Palace have to be investigated, presumably before the real murderer is found, Li Shimin does not trust anyone - even if it is someone close to the prince. ”

Lin Feng came to the front of the dormitory, and after explaining his intention to the guards on duty, even with Li Chengqian's order, they still searched Lin Feng and the others.

Even Mo Wanshan was asked to hand over his weapons, so the three of them were allowed to enter.

Mo Wanshan explained to Lin Feng and Xiao Yu: "Strictly check everyone who enters and leaves the palace, this is Your Majesty's order, and it is not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who will embarrass the two." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Mo Zhonglang will rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's safety is more important than everything, we all understand." ”

Mo Wanshan saw that Lin Feng and Xiao Yu had no mustard, so he nodded with confidence.

Soon, they came to the dormitory and saw Li Chengqian leaning on the head of the bed.

Li Chengqian is not very old, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his face looks a little childish, but he is surrounded by luxury, and he already has the bearing of a prince.

When Li Chengqian was 12 years old, Li Shimin had already begun to temper Li Chengqian's overall view, let Li Chengqian begin to deal with state affairs, and there were many great Confucian and important ministers who taught him, coupled with Li Chengqian's hard work, at least for the time being, he is indeed a qualified successor in terms of bearing, demeanor, ability, and conversation.

However, Lin Feng knew Li Chengqian's future. Looking at Li Chengqian's current appearance, and thinking about his life that ended in tragedy, I couldn't help but sigh a little in my heart.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince."

Lin Feng and Xiao Yu saluted Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian's face was pale and full of sickness, he slowly raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

"Your Highness."

The two straightened up.

Li Chengqian's dark eyes looked at Lin Feng, with a hint of curiosity and concern in his bright eyes, and said, "Gu has already received an order from his father, and his father has put you in charge of this case...... Rinjimasa, do you have confidence? ”

Lin Feng said without leaking: "Your Majesty trusts, the minister is full of liver and brains, no matter what, this case must be solved." ”

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction, and he said: "Lone has long heard about your case-breaking deeds, and he has long been curious about you, but Lone is not in good health, and he has been recuperating during this time, so he can't see you in person, otherwise, a person with outstanding talent like you, Lone should talk to you about it." ”

I can't help but say that even though Li Chengqian is not very old, he can win people's hearts and minds very well.

In a word, it shows that he values Lin Feng and favors Lin Feng.

If Lin Feng is a young man who has just entered the court as an official without scheming, he will be very excited and moved, and he can't wait to worship the pier immediately.

After all, who can refuse to get an olive branch from the future emperor?

However, this does not include Lin Feng, who knows the future.

Lin Feng said calmly: "Your Highness is really praised, the lower official is just lucky and has solved some cases, how dare you let Your Highness praise it so much." ”

Li Chengqian was just about to laugh, but suddenly coughed violently, and the maidservant girl on the side hurriedly brought a glass of water.

He shook his head and sighed: "My health is not good, and I will be tired after talking for a while." ”

Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly said: "Then let's hurry up and talk about the case, after finishing speaking, His Highness will have a good rest." ”

Xiao Yu also said: "Your Highness's body is important. ”

Li Chengqian originally had a lot of solicitation to say to Lin Feng, but for physical reasons, he could only give up.

He nodded and said, "Then let's talk about the case, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, as long as you know, you will be told by you." ”

Lin Feng didn't ink either, and said directly: "Dare to ask Your Highness, when did you make the decision to entertain the Tubo envoys and Tuyuhun envoys last night?" ”

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "The day before yesterday...... However, this is not Lone's decision, it is the decision of his father, and his father hopes that Lone can entertain the envoys on his behalf. ”

"The day before yesterday......"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, that is to say, the time for the murderer to prepare was very short, only two days.

In two days, you have to pretend to be a ghost, and you have to kill people without knowing it, and no one will find out about the abnormality afterwards, which is not something that can be done in a hurry.

The real murderer must have been planning for a long time.

However, even Li Chengqian only knew about entertaining the envoys the day before yesterday, how could the real culprit know so much in advance?

Unless, the original plan of the real murderer may not be to kill the Tibetan envoys, but just because of fate, they met ......

But if his original plan was not to kill the Tibetan envoys, then who was he going to kill?

If the real murderer is among outsiders such as Tuyuhun and Tubo, it is fine.

But what if the real murderer is hiding in the East Palace?

So who can be the target of the real murderer's such a calculation......

Lin Feng was thinking about it, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

He raised his head suddenly, and his eyes instantly looked directly at Li Chengqian, who was leaning on the bed!

Li Chengqian was suddenly stared at by Lin Feng with this kind of gaze, and said a little strangely: "Lin Sizheng, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Feng's pupils twitched violently.

If the real murderer is really hiding in the East Palace, then who else can he be besides the Lord of the East Palace?

Other words.

Is this possible......

The real murderer is not the Tibetan envoy at all!

His original target was - Prince Li Chengqian!
