Chapter 615 Su Xian: The Queen’s worries will be solved today!
Among the ruins of Hanjiacang City, Su Xian, Qianmianhu, and Jiang Hanwen were walking among them.

Su Xian is in the middle and Thousand-faced Fox is on the left. Both of them are listeners.

Jiang Hanwen is on the right. He is responsible for "narrating" the contents of the more than 100 volumes. It is impossible to memorize it, and he can't do it yet, but there is probably no problem in telling it.

It is impossible to talk about more than 100 volumes of files from beginning to end. Even if Jiang Hanwen has the ability, Su Xian does not have the time.

He first asked Jiang Hanwen to tell the general context of the case. After understanding it clearly, he asked him to tell about the secret battle between the imperial court and the remnants of the previous dynasty.

He must understand the motive and the whole story behind why the remnants of the previous dynasty set fire to Hanjiacang City.

After a full hour, Su Xian finally understood what he wanted to know.

Next, he asked some more questions, and Jiang Hanwen answered according to the content recorded in the file.

And so on for a while.

Suddenly, Su Xian glanced sideways and spotted a familiar figure——

Yang Zhilan!
She was hiding behind a ruined wall, looking at Su Xian with a pair of calm and cold eyes. When she noticed that Su Xian had noticed her, she raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction to the side.

Su Xian followed her guidance and saw that it was a row of makeshift toilets.

Although Hanjiacang City was destroyed, there were countless people patrolling and investigating crimes here every day. People had three urgent needs, so temporary toilets were built.

Su Xian immediately understood Yang Zhilan's intentions, excused his stomach discomfort, and left Qianmianhu and Jiang Hanwen for a while, and walked towards the row of latrines.

Squeak!

After closing the toilet door, Su Xian held his nose and looked around. It turned out that there was a skylight somewhere above his head for ventilation. No wonder Yang Zhilan chose to meet here.

After a while, Yang Zhilan landed from the skylight and stood in front of Su Xian without making the slightest noise.

"Zhilan, why are you here?" Su Xian lowered his voice, a little worried. This is the imperial city after all.

"Don't worry, young master, except for the fact that there are experts in the palace that I dare not set foot in easily, it's not difficult to get in and out of the imperial city." Yang Zhilan's voice was as cold as ever.

"I see... By the way, since you came here to see me, the matter must have been settled, right?" Su Xian asked.

"It's done. I'll hide it in a secret place that can be found by searching the house." After Yang Zhilan finished speaking, she took something out of her pocket, handed it to Su Xian and said:
"In addition, I also found this object in a corner of Zhang Mansion."

"Is this... a sachet?"

Su Xian took it and took a look. Sure enough, it was a sachet. The workmanship, material, embroidery, etc. were all of the highest quality. The most important thing was that the three characters "Zhang Huaiyi" were embroidered on it.

"Embroidered with Zhang Huaiyi's name!"

Su Xian was surprised and looked up at Yang Zhilan.

Yang Zhilan said:
"I found this object in the gap between two cabinets. It was covered with dust. A rough guess is that this object has been in the gap for at least two months!"

"Two months..." Su Xian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Two months ago, it was the time when Hanjiacang City suffered a fire! I understand, Zhilan, you can handle this matter really not bad!"

"..."

Yang Zhilan looked at Su Xian. Although she didn't say anything, through the bright light flashing in her cold eyes, it could be seen that she was very happy to be praised by Su Xian.

It's just that she is not very good at expressing.

I couldn't even smile.

After Su Xian thought for a while, he handed the sachet back to Yang Zhilan and said with a serious face:

"Zhilan, listen to me. The situation I'm going to talk about next is more complicated. You need to adapt to circumstances..."

"..."

A quarter of an hour later.

Su Xian walked out of the toilet.

Thousand-faced Fox and Jiang Hanwen were still waiting not far away. Su Xian stepped forward and continued to ask Jiang Hanwen some questions about the files.

Just like that, another two quarters of an hour passed. Su Xian had asked all the questions he could think of, but it didn't help his guess at all.

He frowned and pondered for a while, and finally said to Jiang Hanwen: "Finally, please let the four arresters speak freely and tell you the information you think is important."

"it is good!"

Jiang Hanwen was not ambiguous either.

In addition to summarizing the information collected by the Department of Prisons from all over the country, his job is also his own, including the files, laws, judgments and other written work.

He is knowledgeable and has a strong memory, and has his own thoughts on every case.

Since Su Xian allowed him to express himself freely, he recounted his daily thoughts and quoted some passages from the file to support his thoughts.

"stop!"

Suddenly, when Jiang Hanwen was talking excitedly, Su Xian yelled so loudly that he immediately shut up and blinked at Su Xian, as if to say:
"Brother Su, if you don't want to play like this, why don't you just wait for me to finish this sentence!"

"Brother Su, have you made any new discoveries?"

Qianmianhu was shaken because Jiang Hanwen's "chanting" just now made him drowsy.

Su Xian gave Jiang Hanwen an apologetic look, and then asked seriously: "Just now, the Fourth Captor said, 'Don't worry about food'?"

Jiang Hanwen paused, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said slowly:
"Yes, according to the records, the inner guards destroyed the lair of a remnant of the previous dynasty half a year ago."

"In that lair, the inner-guard spies found a corner of unburned letter paper. There was only this sentence on it: 'Don't worry about food.'"

"..."

Thousand-faced Fox looked at Su Xian and asked, "Brother Su, is there anything special about this sentence?"

The confidence in Su Xian's eyes became a little thicker, and he said slowly: "This sentence further confirms my guess... My guess has reached at least five points..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the other side and shouted: "Master Hou, Master Hou, our family has remembered, our family has remembered..."

Everyone turned to look, and it turned out to be the old eunuch, running towards him regardless of his appearance.

"What did father-in-law remember?" Su Xian asked immediately.

"Reporting to Lord Marquis, our family remembered something. On the night when Hanjiacang City was flooded and caught fire, our family had a dream while sleeping in bed."

"In the dream, our family heard a clicking sound..."

"..."

The old eunuch made gestures and continued: "But just now we thought carefully about it, and suddenly realized that it was not a dream, but... there was a real clicking sound!"

"Are you sure?" Su Xian's expression suddenly changed and he looked happy.

"It's certain!" the old eunuch said firmly.

"You old guy, why didn't you give us such an important clue earlier?" Thousand-faced Fox and Jiang Hanwen both looked ugly and almost took action to deal with the old eunuch.

"It's unfair. Didn't our family think it was a dream before, so we didn't explain it..." The old eunuch repeatedly cried out.

"..."

The Qian-faced Fox was too lazy to pay attention to the old eunuch. He turned around and saw Su Xian's happy face. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Su, could this clue be useful?"

Su Xian looked at the crowd with a calm expression and said slowly: "If you talk about it just now, I was [-]% sure about that guess, and now I am [-]% sure!"

"What kind of conjecture is this?" Jiang Hanwen asked.

Su Xianyu said without any surprise:

"I suspect that the grain originally stored in Hanjiacang City was not completely burned. At least some of it was hidden in the dark by thieves!"

"Moreover, the quantity should not be small, and it can even barely solve the food shortage crisis faced by Daliang!"

"..."
