The little girl hides her secrets

Chapter 231 231. Tiles
Gu Yuefei didn't mind his informality, and asked, "Have you found anything?"

"No, on the contrary, nothing was found." Niu Xiguang said.

Gu Yuefei was surprised, but he knew that Niu Xiguang would not disturb his rest for no reason, so he just looked at Niu Xiguang, waiting for his next words.

Sure enough, Niu Xiguang said: "I took my brothers to check all those small murder organizations. They didn't come into contact with any suspects. I think the murderer really didn't look for them. Did we look in the wrong direction?"

Moreover, those small organizations had no foundation, and he made them hand over all the customer information with just a little threat. The murderer probably would not have hired such a person as a helper.

"No, it has been found that the 200 taels of gold was given to Luochamen by the third prince." Gu Yuefei frowned and said, "But if what you said is true, the real culprit may not be the third prince."

Niu Xiguang didn't react for a while, he was stunned for a few seconds, then widened his eyes and said: "What's going on, tell me in detail?"

Gu Yuefei said: "The third prince did hire fifteen Rakshamen killers, but those killers were killed by unknown masters on the way. Judging by the reaction of the third prince, he seems to be unaware of this, thinking that coming to the palace The assassin is from Rakshamen, so now I don't think he is the murderer."

Niu Xiguang took a breath, and said cautiously: "Could it be that you misread it, or that he deliberately pretended to be like that, just to deceive us."

"It's possible." Gu Yuefei said, "But after hearing what you said just now, I'm more inclined to frame the third prince, because the people from Rakshamen said that the master was unfathomable, and the assassins who came to the palace a few days ago were not caught. Got it. You must know that the palace is heavily guarded, and you don’t just want to break in, so I suspect that the assassin who entered the palace is the same person as the master.”

Niu Xiguang pondered for a while, and responded: "Master Gu means that the master deliberately planted Luo Shamen, so that people can find out the third prince's head to remove the suspicion."

Gu Yuefei nodded and said: "Yes, but the possibility that the murderer is the third prince is not ruled out. Anyway, things are getting more and more troublesome."

Niu Xiguang rubbed his meaty head irritably, he yawned long, his eyes were dry and uncomfortable, and he couldn't sit still.

After a busy day today, I can still stay awake in the cold wind outside, but I started to feel sleepy after entering the room to warm up for a while.

Gu Yuefei glanced at Niu Xiguang and said: "Go back and rest, get a good sleep, there are more things to check tomorrow."

"Okay." Niu Xiguang rubbed his face, walked out with lazy steps, and gently closed the door.

As the creaking sound of shoes on the snow became smaller and smaller, Gu Yuefei knew that Niu Xiguang had gone far away. He lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down, and fell asleep at some point.

It's a pity that in the dream he still couldn't live in peace, he kept running around in his mind, investigating the case vigorously and vigorously, which made him unable to distinguish the reality from the dream.

Unknowingly, in the dream, he walked back to the pillar of Fengqi Palace, watching the newly filled piece of red slowly dry out and blending with the surrounding dark red, suddenly a sudden feeling rose in his heart. Feeling, I can't say what it is, but that feeling made him stare at the pillar for a long time, unwilling to leave Fengqi Palace.

I don't know how long it took before a glaring light shone on Gu Yuefei's face. He sat up suddenly, only to realize that it was already dawn outside. There must have been a strong wind last night, and a big hole was torn through the paper window in the room, making the room extra cold.

After sleeping all night, Gu Yuefei was still dying of exhaustion. He vaguely remembered that he had a dream all night, it was probably too clear, and he thought of Fengqi Palace just by thinking about it.

He rubbed his temples, hurriedly put on his clothes and washed, had a quick breakfast and went out to work.

I don't know if it was the guidance of fate, he originally wanted to check the second prince who was in charge of the palace, but as soon as he entered the palace, he bumped into the queen Xie Wan who was dressed in white, which reminded him of the pillars of Fengqi Palace.

"Empress Wanan." Gu Yuefei knelt down and said.

Xie Wan glanced at Gu Yuefei calmly, waved his hand lightly and said, "Master Gu, please get up, I've worked hard on the investigation."

Gu Yuefei stood up slowly and said: "The responsibility of the subject lies."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to hear the sound of ping-pong-pong in the distance. It should be that the servants are still repairing the palace.Gu Yuefei suddenly felt a pain in his head, and the unswollen area on his head suddenly felt full of existence, which made him unable to bear to think about it, and suddenly thought of something wrong.

He looked at Xie Wan, and asked a little abruptly: "Empress, how did the tiles on the damaged pillar of your Fengxi Palace become loose?"

When Xie Wan heard him ask this, his heart tightened immediately, but he said calmly, "I didn't just ask a few days ago, it was the assassin who shot an arrow into the column and knocked off some of the tiles on it. "

Gu Yuefei frowned habitually, and muttered: "The building of the imperial palace is absolutely solid. This assassin's strength is really amazing. Looking at the entire continent, there are not many people who can shoot arrows with such power."

Moreover, this arrow has already been shot to Fengqi Palace. With this level of skill, it should be impossible to miss. If the person the assassin wanted to kill was the queen, he would have succeeded long ago. Why did he only shoot an arrow on the pillar? Woolen cloth.

Or does the assassin have another purpose? If so, what is his purpose?

Xie Wan looked at Gu Yuefei's pensive look in panic, every time he made such an expression, Xie Wan always felt that Gu Yuefei was examining herself with those eyes that were hollowed out due to meditation, and wanted to expose her secret.

She hurriedly interrupted Gu Yuefei and said, "Master Gu, what are you doing standing here, and you can do whatever you need to do."

"Ah yes." Gu Yuefei came back to his senses and said, "I left first."

Gu Yuefei no longer hesitated, and walked towards the second prince's residence. Although the second prince Chen Shiheng was temporarily in power, he had not yet been established as the new emperor, so he had to pay attention to everything he did. Naturally, he would not stay in the imperial study to deal with political affairs, so as not to Los people tongue.

Seeing Gu Yuefei approaching, Chen Shiheng clicked his tongue irritably, and took the lead in accusing him: "Master Gu, can you investigate the case faster? A country cannot live without a king. As the oldest prince, I naturally want to inherit the throne, but now because of You say that I am a suspect who killed the emperor and I can only sit here to review official documents, Mr. Gu's speed of handling things is too slow."

"The minister is guilty." Gu Yuefei said: "The minister must return the Second Highness's innocence as soon as possible, and ask the Second Highness to answer a few questions for the minister and assist the minister in handling the case."

Chen Shiheng glanced at Gu Yuefei and said, "Just ask."

Gu Yuefei nodded, coughed lightly and said: "I already know that the two servants next to the owner of the Tianji Pavilion are the young master of Langya Villa and his husband in disguise, and I also know that the gentleman surnamed Yu and the second highness They look very similar. I heard that His Highness the Second Highness coveted the property of Langya Villa and kidnapped Mr. Yu Lang and exchanged it with you. I wonder if this is true?"
