Chapter 111: Fire

Xue Lingheng was just about to open his mouth to tell what he had discovered, when suddenly a subordinate of the Prince's Mansion ran in outside, his expression was flustered, his steps were a little scattered, Li Shanyuan's face was a little gloomy, because of the presence of Lin Chunxi and others, it was not easy to attack immediately. The subordinate also knew that his demeanor was a little out of shape, and he stood aside without saying anything, and Li Shanyuan said to him coldly, "If you have something to say, let the guests think that there are no rules in my prince's mansion, right?"

The subordinate hurriedly knelt down, and then said, "Crown Prince, just now the guards of the capital came to report that the archives and warehouses of the Yamen of the Criminal Department were on fire."

"What?" Li Shanyuan slapped the table and scolded angrily, "The archives warehouse can be on fire in such a heavy place, I don't think this criminal department will do it! Let's go, go and have a look", Li Shanyuan just stood up, and suddenly thought that Lin Chunxi and the others were still there, and immediately said, "I'm really sorry, something important has happened, I have to rush to take a look, let's talk about it later", and then turned around and left.

Xue Lingheng stood up stupidly, and if he had been preparing for a long time in his heart, as long as he swallowed it, at this time, Lin Chunxi's face changed color slightly, and he looked at the two junior disciples thoughtfully, and the two of them immediately understood, it seems that there is something strange about the fire of the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

Lin Chunxi whispered to the two of them, "If the guess is right, I'm afraid that someone doesn't want the secrets in the file to be made public, so they want to destroy the evidence before us, fortunately, Ling Heng has saved the notes, and now, this notebook in our hands has become an important clue in this series of cases, we must keep it well, and don't tell others that we have this notebook, otherwise it will lead danger to us." , When Lin Chunxi said this, his eyes looked at Xue Lingheng, Xue Lingheng understood what the senior brother meant, and also knew the importance of his own notebook, because he had read this dossier, and just now someone wanted to kill himself, and now the other party saw that killing people no longer worked, so he simply set fire to destroy all the evidence, and was able to set fire to the yamen of the Criminal Department, it seems that the strength of the other party is not small.

The three hurriedly came out of the prince's mansion, and hurried to the yamen of the criminal department, countless pedestrians on the street ran to the direction of the yamen of the criminal department, this yamen in the past anyone had to be taboo for three points, no one wanted to have anything to do with here, but today there was a fire here, everyone felt fresh, at this time the yamen of the criminal department did not have the majesty of the past, looking from afar, the smoke was billowing out, many officials were carrying buckets and other applications, hurriedly in and out to carry water to put out the fire, the scene was not chaotic, the surrounding people were far away from the criminal department yamen besieged a group, because there were officers and soldiers under martial law, so no one could take a step forward, Lin Chunxi and others crowded to the front row, and saw the crown prince Li Shanyuan loudly reprimanding the officials of the criminal department at the gate of the yamen of the criminal department, and commanding everyone to put out the fire.

Lin Chunxi looked at this fire, and felt that there was probably nothing left in it, and he felt more and more that this fire was bizarre, he had just checked the files here in the morning, and it was burned in the afternoon, what a confidential place the Yamen of the Criminal Department was, and the inspection and fire prevention in the past were very strict, how could it happen that there was a situation today, but anyway, fortunately, they have recorded the main content of the case file, but unfortunately, most of those physical evidence have been turned to ashes with this fire.

Lin Chunxi felt that the pressure on his shoulders was getting bigger and bigger, as the group arrived in the capital, since entering the palace to meet the crown prince Li Shanyuan, there were strange things around him, first the group was ambushed by the mysterious person in the alley, and that night there was a group of people with more tricks and actions, and at the same time, there was a masked man who was hiding in the distance and watching the battle situation, as soon as the operation began this morning, Xue Lingheng was almost sniped by unknown forces, and then the archives and warehouses of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs were on fire, this series of events showed that there was probably an undercurrent in the capital, and all the actions of his group, are always exposed to the eyes of others, and the terrible thing is that I am afraid that there is more than one force staring at him, Lin Chunxi really feels a little powerless at this time, especially at this time he doesn't know who else to trust.

Lin Chunxi saw that Li Shanyuan was busy directing the firefighting at this time, so he didn't step forward to continue to disturb, and at the same time he also had some scruples in his heart, there were many people present, and it was difficult to ensure that the murderer was among them, if people saw that his group and the crown prince were too close, I was afraid that there would be another incident, so he took Chen Yiyao and Xue Lingheng to withdraw from the crowd and go back in the direction of the inn.

Soon after they turned around and walked out of the crowd, Li Shanyuan slowly turned his head and secretly stared at the place where the few people had just stood for a while, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes that was not easy to be noticed.

Afterwards, Lin Chunxi and others learned that the fire in the Yamen of the Criminal Department was not only inexplicable, but also burned very thoroughly, and the archives of the capital's large and small cases for two consecutive years were all burned, and the administrator of the archives warehouse was also burned to death in the archives. All the relevant responsible personnel of the yamen were punished for their gross negligence.

Lin Chunxi told the brothers and sisters that they would never mention Xue Lingheng's notes to the outside world, because it was extremely timely to burn the nameless fire, so it was inevitable to let them think more, at this time Xue Lingheng's notes had become the only text clue in the case, and the stakes were very high, Lin Chunxi decided not to mention this matter to anyone again, after the whole thing passed, everyone recalled Lin Chunxi's original decision, and they thought it was too wise, because this decision saved everyone a lot of trouble, even danger.

Because the clues on the periphery have been cut off, they can only rely on the content of the notes to trace the source, according to the content of the notes and the on-the-spot investigation, everyone has initially locked this matter as someone is using the demon magic evil array, but what everyone does not understand is why the first five elements array has been completed, why the bodies of the five children will be found in the City God Temple, and then the loss of the child began to occur, and has been lost three in a row, I am afraid that this kind of thing will continue, they restored the location map of the family that lost the child later, and analyzed the child's birth date, and found that they belonged to water, gold and wood, so it seems that another Five Elements Array is being generated.

Lin Chunxi felt that they were going to race against time at this time, and the other party had no intention of stopping, and they would definitely continue to hurt people's lives.
