Opening Six Maids

When Di Gongming heard Li Chongming's proposal, he nodded for a moment and said, "It can only be so."

"Chongming, let the guards come in and do a good search!"

Li Chongming nodded, turned and left the bedroom.

A moment later, Li Chongming brought a team of guards in.

Li Chongming pointed his finger at the furnishings in the bedroom, and said to the officer, "Move everything that can be moved!"

"Even if you dig the ground three feet, you must find the secret room!"

All the officers nodded hurriedly when they heard the words, "Yes, sir!"

The lead officer greeted him, and the officers scattered all around, looking for possible secret rooms and secret passages.

"Quickly, lift up this bed and move out!"

"The chairs are all emptied too."

"These stone ornaments are also moved away!"

"Xiao Liu, ask a few people to pry the floor!"

···

The guards were eager to tear up their homes.

The Chuci people were also not idle, beating around and checking, trying to find the secret room and the secret channel mechanism.

The sky was getting dark, and the guards turned on the lights to fight at night, and vowed not to give up unless King Pan Yang's bedroom was emptied.

Early the next morning.

The doors and windows of King Pan Yang's bedroom were opened wide, and the stuff in the house was completely removed by the guards, leaving only eight strong red-painted load-bearing columns.

The marble floors were all picked up and moved out. Even the ground under the stone slabs was dug up to a depth of three feet.

Chuci, Gongsun Luluo and Li Chongming stood at the door of the bedroom, waiting for Di Gongming's arrival.

Di Gongming is not Wu Xiu, and his physical fitness is naturally inferior to those of Chuci.

In the middle of the night last night, Di Gongming couldn't stand it anymore. He found a room and went to sleep. It was time to wake up now after calculating the time.

"Master Chu, Miss Gongsun."

"Chongming."

Di Gongming walked up to the Chuci trio and couldn't help rubbing his waist.

The bed in the Palace of Panyang was too soft, and Di Gongming had a backache in his sleep.

Chu Ci looked at Di Gongming and asked with a smile, "Master Di, how is your rest?"

Di Gongming waved his hand and said, "Where the official can sleep steadily, he is half asleep and half awake all night."

Li Chongming asked worriedly, "My lord, do you want to rest for a while?"

Di Gongming shook his head and said, "No, are everything in King Panyang's bedroom empty?"

Li Chongming nodded and reported, "Return to my lord, everything that can be moved has been emptied."

"The hot spring was drained and even the floor was pried away."

"Yeah." Di Gongming nodded slightly and asked, "Have you ever seen a secret room or a secret tunnel?"

Li Chongming's face darkened when he heard the words, and he said in a deep voice, "No clues were found."

Di Gongming stroked his beard lightly, his face a bit solemn.

"Tricky!"

Looking at the bedroom with wide open doors and windows, Di Gongming said, "Come on, let's go in and check again."

A few people walked into the bedroom. After the contents were emptied, the bedroom became more and more empty.

Only eight load-bearing pillars stand alone in it.

Di Gongming circled the bedroom, but still did not find the slightest clue.

"Can the murderer really disappear out of thin air?"

Di Gongming pondered for a moment, then looked at Chu Ci and said, "Master Chu, I have heard that you have seen someone disappear out of thin air?"

When Chu Ci heard the words, his eyes flashed, and he said aloud, "Master Di is talking about the Variety Dramatist, right?"

"He can indeed wave a cloud and disappear into the cloud."

"However, the actor's killing method is weird, but it is not killing with a sharp sword."

Di Gongming nodded slightly, and turned his head to look at Gongsun Luluo for a moment.

"Girl Gongsun, are you sure that when you entered the bedroom that day, the murderer disappeared rather than hidden?"

Gongsun Luluo nodded solemnly and said, "After entering the bedroom that day, I didn't notice the breath of the second stranger."

"Unless the strength of the murderer far exceeds me!"

Di Gongming stroked his beard and said, "Impossible!"

"If the murderer is so strong, he can take care of you directly, why bother to leave?"

Gongsun Luluo leaned on a load-bearing pillar and said with a light smile, "Then I don't know."

Chu Ci looked at the load-bearing pillars behind Gongsun Luluo, his eyes flashed with a different color, "Are there any problems with these load-bearing pillars?"

Chu Ci knocked on one of the load-bearing columns with a knife handle.

Bang! Bang!

The sound was dull, not a thumping sound on the hollow.

Li Chongming said when he saw this, "Master Chu doesn't need to try. The officers have already checked that these load-bearing columns are all solid."

Di Gongming sighed softly and said, "Let's go, and look for other clues."

Several people left the bedroom one by one, Chu Ci walked at the end, and glanced at the bedroom before leaving.

The morning sun was scattered through the doors and windows in the bedroom, revealing all the photos in the bedroom.

"and many more!"

Chu Ci suddenly uttered a loud voice, calling out Di Gongming and several others.

Hearing the sound, Di Gongming stopped abruptly, looked at Chu Ci and asked, "Master Chu, what have you discovered?"

Chu Ci pointed his finger at a load-bearing column in the bedroom and said, "This has a problem with the load-bearing column!"

Di Gongming and the others looked towards the bearing pillar referred to by Chuci. The vermilion bearing pillar was bathed in the morning sun, and it looked very solemn and heavy.

Li Chongming frowned slightly and said aloud, "Master Chu, what's the problem with the load-bearing column?"

"The guard has carefully checked that these load-bearing columns are all solid, and they cannot be the entrance to the secret tunnel."

Di Gongming pondered for a moment, stepped to the front of Chuci, and followed Chuci's line of sight to the load-bearing pillar.

In the next second, Di Gongming opened his eyes slightly, and whispered, "So it's like this!"

Li Chongming's expression was a little stunned, and he couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what do you see?"

Di Gongming smiled and beckoned to Li Chongming, "Chongming, come and see."

When Li Chongming came closer, Di Gongming pointed to the load-bearing pillar shown in Chu Ci and said, "Chongming, take a look."

Li Chongming looked at it intently, only to see fresh traces on the vermilion load-bearing pillar under the sunlight.

It seems that someone rubbed the surface of the load-bearing column with their fingers.
