Start Six Maids

"Baima Village, which has been entrenched in the Baishan Mountains for many years, is actually supported by him secretly!"

"King Panyang actually allowed his subordinates to plunder the people of the empire, what exactly does he want to do!"

Di Gongming frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "That's why I said that the murder case at Prince Panyang's residence is very involved!"

"Why does King Pan Yang condone looting?"

"Where did the looted supplies go?"

"Is this related to the murder in the palace?"

Di Gongming asked three questions, but no one present knew the real answer.

The truth of the matter needs to be traced step by step to be thoroughly clarified.

Chu Ci was silent for a moment, and said, "The first thing we need to find out now is who is the real culprit of the murder in the palace, and how did he suddenly disappear."

Di Gongming nodded slightly, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Prince Panyang's mansion to see for ourselves."

Several people left Dali Temple and rushed all the way to Prince Panyang's Mansion without stopping.

At this moment, the Panyang Prince's Mansion has been sealed, and there are fast guards guarding all around, and no one is allowed to approach.

When the guards saw Chu Ci and Di Gongming, they didn't dare to stop them, so they hurriedly let them go.

Li Chongming tore off the seal on the gate of the palace, opened the door and walked in first.

The corpses parked in the palace have already been cleaned up.

Only a human-shaped white line was drawn on the position where the corpse died, and the blood splattered on the ground was not cleaned up and remained in place.

Chu Ci and the others crossed several courtyards and came to the backyard of the palace.

The backyard of the palace is the bedroom where King Pan Yang usually lives. The bedroom covers a large area, covering several acres of land.

Gongsun Luluo pointed to a bedroom and said, "This is it!"

That day, King Panyang, his concubine, and his son stayed in the bedroom, but they were taken away by someone.

Di Gongming took the first step, pushed open the door of the bedroom and walked in.

Chu Ci followed closely, walked into the bedroom and looked around.

"hiss···"

The luxurious scene in the bedroom was comparable to a palace, and Chu Ci couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Good guy, just go here, King Pan Yang died unjustly."

The whole bedroom is like a palace, supported by eight thick load-bearing columns.

There are many exquisite and extravagant decorations.

Chu Ci also saw a steaming hot spring in the corner of the bedroom, it would not be too crowded for seven or eight people to soak in.

Di Gongming was also shocked and stood there for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, Di Gongming asked Gongsun Luluo, "Miss Gongsun, where was King Pan Yang when you saw him?"

Gongsun Luluo pointed to a bench carved from golden nanmu and said, "When I entered the room, I saw King Panyang's family of three lying on this bench."

Chu Ci and Di Gongming followed the situation and saw that there were still dark brown blood stains on the golden bench.

Chu Ci stepped up to the bench and looked it over carefully for a while, but found nothing unusual.

Looking up and looking around, there is no place to hide around the bench.

"Strange, how did the murderer disappear without a trace after killing?"

Di Gongming looked around and frowned slightly.

"The arrangement around the bench cannot hide the murderer, but the only hot spring that can hide is tens of feet away."

"As soon as the murderer killed Pan Yangwang's family, Miss Gongsun rushed in. There was no time for the murderer to hide!"

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then said, "That's a secret room or a secret passage."

Looking around, Chu Ci went on to say, "In this bedroom, there must be an unknown secret passage!"

Hearing this, Di Gongming said, "I also ordered the police to search carefully, but I didn't find any hidden passages in the secret room."

Chu Ci frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps the police missed those places, let's check it again."

Di Gongming nodded slightly, looked at Li Chongming at the side and said, "Chongming, what do you think?"

Li Chongming said in a deep voice, "Dig three feet into the ground, I don't believe I can't find the secret room!"

Chapter 187 True, Digging Three Feet

When Di Gongming heard Li Chongming's proposal, he pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's the only way to go."

"Chongming, let the guards come in and search for it!"

Li Chongming nodded, turned around and left the bedroom.

After a while, Li Chongming walked in with a team of guards.

Li Chongming pointed to the furnishings in the bedroom, and said to the guard, "Move everything that can be moved!"

"Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find out the hidden passage in the secret room!"

All the servants hurriedly nodded their heads when they heard the words, "Yes, my lord!"

The leading officer greeted them, and all the officers scattered to look for possible secret rooms and secret passages.

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

"The chairs are all emptied, too."

"These rock ornaments are also removed!"

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

···

The guards demolished the house in full swing.

Chu Ci and the others were also not idle, they knocked around and checked, trying to find out the mechanism of the secret room and secret passage.

As the sky was getting darker, the guards turned on the lights and fought at night, vowing not to stop until King Panyang's bedroom was emptied.

The next morning.

The doors and windows of King Pan Yang's bedroom were wide open, and the guards removed all the things in the room, leaving only eight thick red-painted load-bearing columns.

The marble floor was also all pried out, and even the ground under the stone slab was dug three feet deep.

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

Di Gongming is not Wuxiu, so his physical fitness is naturally not as good as that of Chu Ci.

In the middle of the night last night, Di Gongming couldn't stand it any longer, so he found a room and went to sleep, and it was time to wake up now.

"Lord Chu, Miss Gongsun."

"Chongming."

Di Gongming walked up to the three of Chu Ci and couldn't help rubbing his lower back.

The bed in Panyang Prince's Mansion was too soft, and Di Gongming felt a little backache when he slept.

Chu Ci looked at Di Gongming and asked with a smile, "Master Di, how are you resting?"

Di Gongming waved his hand and said, "How can I sleep soundly, I'm half asleep and half awake all night."

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

Di Gongming shook his head and said, "No need, have you cleared everything in King Pan Yang's bedroom?"

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

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

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

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, with a serious expression on his face.

"Tricky!"

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

A few people walked into the bedroom, and after the things inside were emptied, the bedroom seemed even more empty.

There are only eight load-bearing columns standing alone in the middle.

Di Gongming went around the bedroom, but still didn't find any clues.

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

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

Chu Ci's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he said aloud, "Master Di is talking about the Variety Artist, right?"

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

"But Xi Caishi's killing method is weird, but it's not killing people with a sharp sword."

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

"Miss Gongsun, are you sure that when you entered the bedroom that day, the murderer disappeared instead of hiding?"

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

"Unless the murderer is far stronger than me!"

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

"If the murderer is really that strong, he will take care of you directly, so why leave in such a hurry?"

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

Chu Ci looked at the load-bearing pillars behind Gongsun Luluo, his eyes flashed strangely, "Is there any problem with these load-bearing pillars?"

Chu Ci tapped on one of the load-bearing pillars with the handle of the knife.

Bang! Bang!

The sound was muffled, not a thumping sound knocking on a hollow.

Seeing this, Li Chongming said aloud, "Master Chu, you don't need to try, the guards have already checked, and 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 last, and took a look at the bedroom before leaving.

The morning sunlight scatters in the bedroom through the doors and windows, revealing everything in the bedroom.

"and many more!"

Chu Ci suddenly called out and stopped Di Gongming and the others.

Di Gongming stopped suddenly when he heard the sound, looked at Chu Ci and asked, "Master Chu, what did you find?"

Chu Ci pointed to a load-bearing column in the bedroom, and said, "There is something wrong with the load-bearing column!"

Di Gongming and the others looked at the load-bearing column that Chu Ci was referring to. The vermilion load-bearing column was bathed in the morning sun, looking extraordinarily solemn and heavy.

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

"The guards checked carefully. These load-bearing columns are all solid, and they cannot be the entrance to the secret passage of the secret room."

Di Gongming pondered for a moment, then walked up to Chu Ci, and followed Chu Ci's line of sight to look at the load-bearing pillar.

In the next second, Di Gongming opened his eyes slightly, and whispered, "So that's how it is!"

Li Chongming had a confused expression on his face, and he couldn't help asking, "My lord, what did you see?"

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

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

Li Chongming looked intently, and saw fresh traces on the vermilion load-bearing pillars under the sunlight.

It seemed that someone had rubbed their fingers on the surface of the load-bearing column.
