Your Highness, the Crown Princess is investigating the case again!

Chapter 87 The Post Station - Ghost Shadow Case
Shen Luo and Xie Yunsheng rushed to the station without stopping, followed by Emperor Cheng.

The hostess of the inn was the amicable Princess Beiyuan, who was afraid that foreigners would deliberately disturb the marriage between the two countries.

As soon as Sheng Ge saw Shen Luo, she threw herself into Shen Luo's arms and wept, and said in a low voice, "Sister Shen, I'm scared. Just now I saw a ghost descend with my own eyes and killed the guard at my station."

"Sister Shen, I'm so scared!" Sheng Ge buried her head in Shen Luo's arms, trembling all over.

Shen Luo looked blankly at the few people in front of her with blank hands, not knowing whether she should reach out to appease Princess Shengge, or push Princess Shengge into the hands of Shengge's fiancé-in-law, Xie Ling.

Seeing Shen Luo being tightly hugged by Sheng Ge, Xie Yunsheng felt sour in his heart, and then looked deeply at Xie Ling beside him: Go and pull your wife away.

When he gets along with Shen Luo, he always keeps his sense of proportion and never makes her feel a little uncomfortable. Even if he hugs, he will always keep his sense of proportion. He has never hugged Shen Luo so intimately.

Today his Luo'er was held so tightly by a woman.

He absolutely cannot tolerate others eating Shen Luo's tofu, even if that person is a woman.

Xie Ling understood what her elder brother meant in an instant, and stepped forward to caress Sheng Ge's shoulders and hugged him in his arms: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, Mr. Shen still needs to investigate the case, so you will disturb her handling the case."

With that said, Xie Ling forced Princess Shengge aside, and then said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble for Mrs. Shen, just stand quietly behind her and let her investigate the case clearly."

With Xie Ling's reminder, Sheng Ge understood what he should do, and obediently sat on the wooden bench beside him.

Xie Ling settled Shengge, and stayed by Shengge's side all the time, and said softly: "Father, brother, Princess Shengge and I just saw a ghost flash by, it was really just a ghost, that ghost disappeared in a flash However, the head of the guard standing outside the door was cut off."

Shen Luo looked at Xie Ling, and asked softly, "There are no ghosts in this world. As the prince of a country, how can His Highness make such deceptive remarks?"

She doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world. If there are really ghosts in this world, then the evil Tianji Pavilion would have ceased to exist long ago!
Shen Luo carried the arrogance and majesty of a high-ranking person. Xie Ling was in a trance for a moment with such a demeanor and demeanor. He somehow felt that it was not Shen Luo who was standing in front of him, but his elder brother Xie Yunsheng who taught him.

He took a step forward, took Sheng Ge behind him, and whispered: "Yes, I will be cautious in my words and deeds in the future."

Xu Shi has been with Xie Yunsheng for a long time, and she doesn't even know that her words and deeds have been influenced by Xie Yunsheng.

She looked at Xie Ling who was apologizing to herself, and asked according to the order and progress of the trial: "What does that ghost look like? How tall is it, and what are its features?"

Shengge poked his head out from behind Xie Ling quietly, and then whispered: "That ghost is about ten feet tall, dressed in black, without feet, it floated past us like a ghost, and then flashed a silver light , the head of the guard at the gate fell to the ground."

"One foot tall (about two meters three)?" Shen Luo frowned and looked at the person in front of her.

How can there be a person who is one foot tall in this world.

Faced with doubts, Xie Ling replied: "Really, when we saw that shadow drifting towards us, we immediately avoided it. We clearly saw that when the shadow came in front of the station guard, it made a strange gesture with its hands. The station guard His head fell off."

"When Heiying was standing with the guard, we clearly saw that Heiying was two heads taller than that burly guard." Xie Ling stretched out two fingers, speaking solemnly.

At that time, he was really terrified. Seeing such a terrifying scene suddenly, it was impossible for anyone to remain indifferent!

Emperor Cheng has been through the battlefield for a long time and has seen all kinds of enemies, but he has never seen anyone who can grow to about one foot. He looked at Shen Luo and asked, "Shen Luo, have you ever seen a person who is one foot tall when you come from Jianghu? "

He doesn't believe that there are such absurd existences as ghosts in this world!

Shen Luo stepped forward and whispered back: "Your Majesty, I once saw a man suffering from gigantism, a burly figure, whose height was different from ordinary people, but the height did not exceed one foot."

After replying, Shen Luo looked at Princess Shengge who was hiding behind Xie Ling, and asked, "Are there any people who are taller than ordinary people among the guards accompanying His Highness the Princess?"

Shengge shook his head and said softly, "No."

"It's impossible for a man with such a burly figure to exist in this world." Sheng Ge looked at Shen Luo and replied loudly.

"We in Beiyuan are in Mobei. There are many tall and strong people everywhere, but there has never been a person who is more than ten feet old!" Shengge said, holding Xie Ling's arm tightly, seeking shelter.

Xie Ling immediately looked back and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's fine."

Sheng Ge looked at it and whispered, "That shadow can't be a real ghost!"

"It's impossible for a normal person to have such a fast speed, and I can clearly see that she has no feet, and she floated past us." The more Sheng Ge spoke, the more frightened she became, her hands tightly clutching Xie Ling's shirt.

Xie Ling stroked Sheng Ge's bun lightly, and said fondly, "Don't be afraid, we are all here."

Shen Luo glanced at the people in the room, and saw that everyone was terrified, and several timid maidservants huddled together.

Shen Luo turned around to look at Emperor Cheng, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the scene of the crime, you should avoid it first, and wait for the Beizhen Mansion Secretary to conduct an autopsy and interrogate everyone before entering the palace to report to you!"

Emperor Cheng glanced at Shen Luo, then looked at his eldest son, and said, "Zizhan, this case is weird, please stay and assist Shen Situ in investigating the case."

Saying that, Emperor Cheng glanced at Xie Yunsheng meaningfully: This opportunity is given to you, you must seize it!

Xie Yunsheng saluted: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely assist Shen Situ to find out the case."

"Yeah!" Emperor Cheng nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left.

"Farewell to Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted and did not get up until the sound of footsteps disappeared.

Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng and Xie Ling, and said, "Your Highness, please gather everyone in the inn in the lobby of the inn. Later, when the people from Beizhen Prefecture arrive, the officials will interrogate them one by one."

"Go down, I want an autopsy." After finishing speaking, Shen Luo walked towards the corpse covered with white silk.

Xie Ling immediately left with Sheng Ge, and the others did not dare to stay longer, and left the scene of the crime following behind the second prince.

Seeing everyone leaving, Shen Luo put on her gloves and raised her hand to lift off the white silk.

The victim was thin, with a very flat cut in the neck, an abnormally flat wound on the head, and calloused palms.

Shen Luo got up and carefully looked at the backyard of the station.

With such a clean method, why do you want to do it in full view, in order to create panic?

If there is panic, why not do it while she is in the inn?
Doesn't this make the murderer more arrogant?
