Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 113 Killer

After the task of investigation was delegated to Xiao Zhaolin and Prime Minister Zhang Wenfeng, almost everything fell into their hands.

It's just that Su Lijin knocked around the palace a few times, but she was not very satisfied with the results.

Obviously, Xiao Zhaolin and Zhang Wenfeng's progress in handling the case was very slow, and they did not find useful clues so quickly.

She knew very well that in the imperial study room, both Xiao Zhaolin and Zhang Wenfeng obviously felt that this case was a hot potato, and it was too late to push it, and they didn't want to take it upon themselves at all.

But Xiao Shengyun had ordered them to investigate and deal with it, so they reluctantly accepted the order.

Presumably, even if they investigate, they will not try their best.

Thinking of this, Su Lijin felt that she couldn't wait any longer.By the time the two of them finish their investigation, the clues might have been wiped out long ago, and it might be difficult to find out the case by then.

After a while, she dressed up and went to Xiao Zhaolin's mansion with a mask on.

"Your Highness is worried about the murder case?"

She appeared quietly, leaning against the pillar and said.

Xiao Zhaolin turned around, saw her suddenly, and narrowed his eyes: "How do you know what's bothering me? What's your purpose here?"

Su Lijin smiled, and slowly said: "Recently, rumors have spread inside and outside the imperial city, and the murder case has caused panic among people. It is well known that His Majesty appointed His Highness and the Prime Minister to handle the case."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhaolin's expression softened slightly, but his eyes were still fixed on her.

"As for the purpose of my coming here..."

After taking two steps forward, Su Lijin said: "Your Highness, I am not talented enough to pick up the seven, and I would like to help His Highness investigate the case."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhaolin pursed his lips slightly, his eyes full of doubts: "Are you here to help the hall?"

"Exactly." Su Lijin nodded.

Xiao Zhaolin's eyes became more suspicious: "What are your abilities that you can help me?"

"Your Highness, do you want to see what you can do?" Su Li raised her eyebrows.

Looking her up and down, Xiao Zhao had a smile on his face, and pointed at the man standing beside him: "Let's win over this subordinate of this hall first."

The man took a step forward, Su Lijin raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and the person in front of him was Gu Han.

Gu Han looked at Su Lijin, without any other emotion on his face, he stretched out his hands and cupped his fists, and said, "You're welcome."

Before he finished speaking, he drew out the long sword from his waist neatly, and stabbed fiercely.

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Su Lijin's mouth: "Just try your best."

Speaking of which, she is still Gu Han's apprentice, although she learned the skills of human skin masks from Gu Han, but speaking of it, this competition is still a competition between master and apprentice, so she is still a little excited.

The body bent back to avoid the sword, Su Lijin didn't wait for Gu Han's second sword, the person had already circled to Gu Han's side, and the long sword was poking towards Gu Han's waist.

This sword was faster than Gu Han's. A trace of excitement flashed in Gu Han's eyes, and he obviously felt that he had met his opponent.

He didn't dare to be careless, and he fought with all his strength, and the blades of both sides made a sound of hitting in the air.

Xiao Zhaolin, who was sitting on the side watching, looked slightly surprised. Gu Han was one of the best on the body under his hands. He didn't expect that Shi Qi could compete with it.

But then, the result of the competition made him even more dumbfounded.

I don't know how many rounds they fought, but there was a sharp sound of a sword's edge, and a long sword touched Gu Han's chest.

"The competition is over." Su Lijin was sweaty, but her eyes were particularly bright, and she looked at Gu Han with a smile.

Gu Han glanced at the tip of the sword, and sincerely cupped his hands and said, "I'm defeated, I'm willing to bow down."

This competition was carried out under Xiao Zhaolin's nose. He almost used more than [-]% of his strength and dared not let Xiao Zhaolin notice any abnormalities.

Su Lijin withdrew her sword, bowed immediately, said in her heart, Master, I offended you, don't be angry, and said: "Chengrang, I have just realized your strength, it is true that I have a little more luck to narrowly win .”

Only then did Xiao Zhaolin clap his hands, and said: "I didn't expect that Shi Qi's strength surpassed that of my capable subordinate. It's really impressive."

But he was suspicious by nature and would not trust Su Lijin easily, so he said politely: "Let's do this for today's competition. The palace will have plans for the case, and it is inconvenient to reveal too much to outsiders at the moment."

These words are almost equivalent to refusing to let Su Lijin join the case.

How could Su Lijin not hear it?
She smiled, without any dissatisfaction, took out something from her bosom, and said with her eyes: "Your Highness, don't worry, let's see what it is first?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhaolin looked at her hand, and when his eyes touched the thing, his face changed slightly: "This is the Queen's token, how come you have this thing?"

Looking at Su Lijin, his eyes were full of inquiry, and his eyes kept going back and forth between the token and her face.

Putting the hairpin token back into his bosom, satisfaction flashed across Su Lijin's face.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhaolin was extremely suspicious, and he would never easily let her participate in the investigation of the case.

Fortunately, she thought of this when she went out and prepared this token.

Withdrawing her thoughts, she nodded: "Your Highness, this is the empress's servant, who was sent by the empress to help His Highness investigate the case."

"The queen sent you to help the hall?" Xiao Zhaolin was obviously surprised, and his eyes were a little puzzled.

Su Lijin nodded again: "The empress knows that His Highness is not easy to handle the case, so she specially asked me to provide more assistance, so that His Highness can solve the case as soon as possible and get rewarded."

"So, that's really great!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhaolin had a look of surprise on his face, obviously he believed the words and was happy that he was helped.

"However, since when has someone as powerful as you been around the queen?"

Facing his question, Su Lijin's face remained unchanged and said: "The Empress is kind-hearted, she received her help when the next family was ruined, and now is the time to repay it."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Zhaolin raised the corners of his lips, reluctantly believing it.

Immediately, he handed the collected case information to Su Lijin and said, "Here are all the files of the case and the progress of the recent investigation. You can take a look first."

After reading it quickly, Su Lijin looked up for a while and said: "I need to go to the scene to see first."

Soon, she went to the flower street brothel.

The corpses inside have been cleaned up, but the blood on the ground remains the same.

After searching around the scene, Su Lijin walked to a corner and suddenly widened her eyes: "This is?"

She picked up a wooden sign on the ground with the word "odd" engraved on it.

Seeing the wooden sign clearly, she frowned, and she already had the answer in her eyes: "Wonderful Killing Pavilion, is it actually the hands of this killer organization?"

Obtaining this clue, Su Lijin immediately dug out the information already in his mind.

Everyone in this killer organization has drugs in their bodies and is very cunning.

Su Lijin thought for a moment, and immediately announced a task, and a signal came from the other side of the Strange Killing Pavilion soon.

"The killer on a mission is here." She squeezed the mask on her head, and said with the corners of her lips curled up.

The killer was dressed in black and appeared in the alley with murderous eyes.

"Is it the mission you issued?"

Su Lijin turned her head and didn't speak, but waved to the killer, telling him to come closer.

Seeing this, the killer approached her, and was about to listen to her mission, but suddenly smelled a fragrance, and before he could react, he fell limply to the ground.

"Say, how can I get to your station?"

"Don't want to know! Do you dare to set a trap for me? The entire Strange Killing Pavilion will not let you go?!"

The murderer stared at Su Lijin in shock and anger, but he had no strength in his body and could not resist at all.

"is it?"

Su Li raised her eyebrows, squatted down, and suddenly raised her hand, a pill fell into the killer's mouth, the killer was startled, his veins burst out of pain, and he couldn't die.

"If you don't want to die, just say it." She narrowed her eyes.

"Okay, give me the antidote quickly, I said, I said..."

Endured to the limit, the killer turned pale and couldn't help begging for mercy.
