Galaxy Education God Record
Chapter 216 Case Investigation
Guan Lin got almost no useful clues from the Imperial City's Law Department, which made things even more confusing. After returning to his residence, Guan Lin found that there were more and more unreasonable things, so Guan Lin began to list all the unreasonable things one by one with a pen. The first of these things was how the formation that interfered with the strong around the palace was arranged, the second was how the enemy entered and exited the imperial city without making a sound, and the third was how this person who was an insider in the imperial city could extend his tentacles to the city defense camp, the city defense formation, the palace guards, and the palace's protective formation at the same time, because the protection work in these four aspects was in the hands of different people, and these people belonged to various forces. It can be said that no one in Huayang can do this. The fourth item was why he asked at the beginning why Prince Hualie was poisoned and did some other actions, and the fifth item was that after the incident, the imperial city's city defense formation must not have been able to enter and exit freely, so how did they get out, and why did the people in charge of the city defense formation not find any signs of the formation being opened. After Guan Lin listed these abnormal phenomena, he began to ask Wu Xin beside him. Of course, he couldn't get any results. Guan Lin just wanted to sort out the whole thing through asking, and finally made up his mind to verify these doubts bit by bit. Guan Lin did what he said. First, he took people to check the living areas of the strong around the palace. Under the guidance of the staff of the Shenfa Division, Guan Lin did find traces of the use of formation plates not far from their living areas. Since Guan Lin was not very knowledgeable about formations, he sent a message to his good friend Dong Wu Qiyuan to ask about the relevant knowledge about formations.
About half an hour later, Guan Lin got an unexpected result from Dong Wu Qiyuan, that is, there is indeed a formation that can make people feel no fluctuations in mana when activated, which is the set formation. The activation principle of this formation is to first activate an insignificant small formation. This small formation is called the Gu Ling Formation. The main function of this formation is to stabilize the mana in the area covered by the formation and prevent the mana fluctuations in this area from being too drastic. Many practitioners will use this formation. The function of this formation is extremely simple and single, so the mana fluctuations will be very small and rarely attract other people's attention. Even if someone notices this, they will just think that it is a formation set up by the practitioners for practice and will not care at all. Then, using this formation as a guide, other formation activation devices are arranged in the Gu Ling Formation, so that the mana fluctuations activated by other formations will be covered up by the Gu Ling Formation. However, this method of arranging formations is generally used by few people because it is unnecessary, so not many people know about it. But there is another problem in the middle, that is, this Gu Ling Formation must be able to completely cover other formations, but the Gu Ling Formation generally covers a very small range. If it is too large, other practitioners will definitely disagree. However, through Guan Lin's description, Dong Wu Qiyuan believed that the Soul-Fixing Array in the imperial city only covered the activation device of the array and was unlikely to cover the entire array. This array must have been improved, and the person who improved the array must be an extremely powerful array master. Because the Soul-Fixing Array only covers the activation device while not completely covering other arrays, while ensuring that the fluctuation of mana cannot be discovered, Dong Wu Qiyuan and his master cannot do it now.
Guan Lin understood the general situation, so he took Wuxin to find a quiet place to think about it. At this time, the communication talisman on his body lit up. It turned out that the second prince had sent the people who witnessed the whole incident in Baixiang Garden that day to the temporary public security department. Guan Lin took Wuxin back quickly. As soon as they arrived at the main hall, someone came to report that all the witnesses in the entire Baixiang Garden, except for the dead, had been brought in. Guan Lin nodded and asked the guards to invite all eleven people to the lobby. After a while, under the guard of the guards, all eleven people arrived at the main hall of the public security department. What surprised Guan Lin was that there was even a child who looked about five or six years old. These people looked very panicked, because they also knew that such a big thing had happened in the imperial city, and they might die on the spot if they were not careful. After all, the emperor and the queen were in trouble now. Guan Lin did not embarrass them, but asked them all to sit down. Guan Lin looked around and said, "Who among you is the person in charge of Baixiang Garden?"
At this time, an old woman with gray hair said tremblingly: "It's me now. The original supervisor has been killed by those people."
Guan Lin looked at her calmly and said slowly, "What's your name? What's the name of your former supervisor? Tell me in detail what you saw and heard that day."
The old woman nodded and said, "My name is Hua Qimei, and I am also half a royal family member. My former supervisor was called Lu Feng. On that day, I was arranged by my supervisor to go to the Diannong Division to collect some flower seeds and some extremely rare plants designated by the royal family. When I came back, I happened to see what was happening. I was with eight people at the time." After that, she pointed to the eight young women next to her and continued, "I am the only cultivator among these people, but my realm is pitifully low. When I came back, we saw a fight in Baixiang Garden. It was called a fight, but it was actually a one-sided massacre. We were scared, so I took these people to look for the palace guards immediately. In fact, every guard They patrolled at regular intervals, so within a short period of time we saw the guards rushing in from a distance. We dared not get close and could only watch from afar. We saw the guards rush in and never came out again. As for what happened inside, we had no idea. We only heard a violent explosion. Later we learned that they were blowing up the ruins under the garden. Since we were far away, we were not affected. About half an hour after the explosion, about twenty people rushed out of the garden, all of them wearing black robes and covering their faces. This is roughly what I saw."
Guan Lin nodded and turned to look at the thin young man and the child, then asked, "What's your name? And what's going on with this child? Tell me what you saw."
The young man looked a little timid. Facing Guan Lin's question, he said nervously, "My name is Honey. I'm a gardener in Baixiang Garden. This is my nephew. His parents died of a serious illness, leaving him alone with no one to take care of him. Your Majesty has granted me the grace to temporarily live with him in Baixiang Garden. When the incident happened, my nephew and I were taking care of the phantom grass at the westernmost end of Baixiang Garden. We heard screams from many people in the courtyard and then we realized that a group of men in black had broken in. After they came in, they suddenly attacked and killed us. In the blink of an eye, sixty or seventy of our maids and workers were killed. Since we were far away, Frightened by this scene, we hid in the Huanxia Lawn. The Huanxia Grass was very tall, and it released some mist, which had the function of isolating the breath, so my nephew and I escaped. We were too scared at the time and didn’t dare to look up. Only after hearing a few loud noises did I take a look and found that they had entered the underground ruins. Later, I found that when they came out of the ruins, it seemed that two or three people were injured and supported by others. It was a long time after they left that we dared to come out, and I saw so much. "
Guan Lin nodded, turned around and asked Hua Qimei: "Did you see clearly the direction these people ran in after they rushed out of Baixiang Garden?"
Hua Qimei nodded and said, "I can see clearly that they are fleeing in the south direction."
Guan Lin asked again: "Which places do we pass through in the south direction?"
Hua Qimei thought for a moment before saying, "We have to pass through Tianning Palace, Wucheng Palace, and Mingyu Palace before we can reach the south gate of the imperial palace."
"Are there guards in these places?"
"Yes, there are teams patrolling every place regularly."
"Has there been any fighting in these areas?"
"I didn't see it with my own eyes and I don't know about it. I just heard later that there was no fighting in those places, and even the people and guards in those places didn't notice these people at all."
"The whole incident lasted nearly two hours. Didn't the guards from other places come here to provide support?"
"Yes, there were four patrol teams and several palace guards who came, but after they rushed into the yard, they never came out again."
"Was the formation in the palace activated at that time?"
"No, until the incident was over, all the formations in the palace were not activated."
Guan Lin asked all the details without missing a single one, and then compared them with the case files one by one, and finally understood why this case was so difficult to handle, because all the people involved in this matter either didn't know what happened at all, and even those who witnessed it with their own eyes couldn't tell who they were. What made Guan Lin even more worried was that they had made such a big thing in the palace, and when they escaped, no one in the huge palace saw where they escaped from the palace, and the palace's formation was not activated from beginning to end, which also made Guan Lin's head as big as a bucket, so Guan Lin decided to go to the Shenfa Division again to ask about the two detained chief officers in charge of the palace formation and the defense of the imperial city. Guan Lin asked people to record all these one by one, and after sending them back, he brought Wuxin to the Shenfa Division again. Shi Jiuqing received Guan Lin very politely, and Guan Lin told him his purpose. Shi Jiuqing immediately brought Guan Lin to the detention center of the Shenfa Division. The first person they met was Wei Zongliu, the chief officer in charge of the imperial city's formation. Wei Zongliu was an old man who came from the imperial city's Wei family, also a large family. Due to the power of the Wei family, he was not detained in the prison but in a separate room. Shi Jiuqing briefly introduced Guan Lin's identity and the work he was currently responsible for, and then stopped talking. Guan Lin and the others greeted each other.
Guan Lin casually pulled a stool and sat down, saying calmly: "Sir Wei, I am here to investigate the Imperial City case on the orders of the Regent. I would like to confirm some details with you, and I hope Sir Wei can cooperate."
Wei Zongliu sighed softly and said, "Lord Guan, please feel free to speak up. I have an unshirkable responsibility regarding the Imperial City. It is my duty to help Lord Guan investigate the truth."
Guan Lin nodded and asked, "Where was Lord Wei when the incident happened?"
Wei Zongliu was silent for a moment and said, "To be honest, I was not in the palace at that time. It was because a nephew in the family successfully advanced to the Cave Fairyland. Because he was the son of our elder, he was called back by the clan leader to participate in the celebration. When I knew something happened in the palace and arrived, it was already over. At that time, I asked all the formation masters who managed the formations about the situation of the palace formations, but the answer I got was that all the formations were normal. I quickly went to Baixiang Garden to check the formations there, and found that all the formations there had been destroyed, and the part connected to the main hub of the palace formations was separated by a special method, which led to the destruction of the formations there, and the main hub of the formations could not detect the abnormality. The same problem also occurred in His Majesty the Emperor's study, and the only time the alarm was called was in His Majesty the Emperor's bedroom, where the formation was temporarily destroyed."
"Then when these people left the palace, did the formation master call the police?"
"No, His Majesty's chambers were the only time the police were called."
"It seems that their plan had been arranged long ago. All the routes of advance and retreat have been arranged. Only the retreat of Your Majesty was a temporary decision. They did not cut off the connection between the bedroom and the headquarters, so it caused the only alarm. How many people were there in the headquarters of the formation at that time?"
"Five. You should know that the formations in the palace usually run independently after being triggered, and do not require the support of a formation master. Therefore, we set up a formation center to control and observe the operation of each formation in the palace. Therefore, we have 20 people on duty all year round, with 10 people in a shift. Five people monitor the operation of the formation, and the other five people are responsible for the daily maintenance of the formation."
"If the formation is cut off by external forces instead of being triggered, can you see the main hub of the formation?"
"According to common sense, everyone should have been able to see it, but their technique was so sophisticated that there was no reaction from the main hub after the formation was cut off. I speculate that they replaced the original formation with a virtual one at the moment of cutting off. According to the staff of the main hub, there was a very slight fluctuation in the emperor's study and Baixiang Garden two days before the incident, but it was very short, so they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the maintenance staff were checking whether the formation was normal."
When Guan Lin heard this, he immediately had an idea in his mind. That is, if he could find out who had stayed there during the time when the formation fluctuated, he could find the person who secretly cooperated with the palace. So he asked, "Have you told the staff of the Shenfa Division about this speculation?"
"said."
So Guan Lin turned his head and looked at Shi Jiuqing, who stepped forward and said, "We have also investigated, but we can't confirm it at all. You should know that there are too many people coming in and out of the palace every day, including palace maids, servants, maids, and guards, and of course some princes and grandchildren. We have no clue at all."
