After a long period of questioning, Guan Lin roughly understood the specific situation of the Imperial City Formation Center. Then, under the leadership of Shi Jiuqing, he met Yu Hanhai, the guard commander in charge of the defense of the Imperial Palace. This was a middle-aged man with a resolute face. He was from the Yu Han family and was deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor. At this time, his face was very decadent. After seeing Guan Lin and the other two, he said listlessly: "I have said everything I should say. I can't escape the guilt of such a big incident in the Imperial Palace. Let's just sentence him directly."

Shi Jiuqing smiled and said, "Lord Yuhan, it's not me who wants to ask you, but Lord Guan who wants to ask you something." Then he introduced Guan Lin's identity.

Yu Hanhai looked at Guan Lin hesitantly and said, "Guan Lin, I have heard of you. Your reputation has spread throughout Huayang in recent years. I didn't expect that you are now assisting the Second Prince in governing the country. You are really a young man to be feared."

Guan Lin smiled and said, "Master Yuhan, you are too polite. I came here this time because I want to ask you some more details. I hope Master Yuhan will not mind."

Yu Hanhai smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I am a criminal. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. As long as we can find the emperor and catch those people, I would be willing to chop off my head, let alone ask me a few words."

Guan Lin nodded and said, "Then I would like to ask, sir, where were you when the incident happened?"

Yu Hanhai said, "Where else can I go? I'm on duty at the east gate of the palace. In addition to patrolling the four gates of the palace, I have to stay at the guards' duty station for a while every once in a while, but it's not fixed to any gate of the palace."

"Are the patrol guards in the palace also under your command?"

"Yes, their daily patrol time and route are carried out according to a fixed pattern. I don't need to ask too much. To be honest, the security work in the palace, especially the security of the emperor, is mostly arranged by Lord You. My subordinates are just routine patrols, and we can't even enter the inner hall of the palace for patrols."

"In other words, the people who protect His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress, and some concubines are all Lord You's subordinates?"

"Yes, they are under the Imperial Administration and are very powerful."

"When did you find out about what happened?"

Yu Hanhai frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is something that makes me feel very strange. After I got the news, I immediately led people into the palace, but those people had already left. This is what makes things strange. Logically, I was at the east gate of the palace. If something happened in the palace, I should have been able to get the information at the first time. Even if no one reported it to me, I should have been able to see the situation in the imperial city. But I didn't see anything. It was only when my patrol personnel reported it to me that I knew something happened in the palace."

Guan Lin nodded and said, "It seems that the area you are in has also been blocked by a formation, so you didn't notice the situation in the palace at the first time."

Shi Jiuqing continued, "Yes, our Shenfa Division also found traces of formations at the East Gate after investigation. It's not just the East Gate, the other four gates are the same."

Guan Lin went on to say, "Their plan is too meticulous and well prepared. They have thought of almost all the unexpected events. They have blocked all the supporting forces. Not only that, they have also blocked the eyes and ears of most of the strong men in the imperial city. This can only mean one thing. Their layout is definitely not something that can be done in a short time. So we must investigate further. I don't believe that anyone in this world can make a plan so flawless."

Shi Jiuqing nodded and said, "Yes, I have participated in the investigation of many major cases and experienced many strange things. Many of the criminals were extremely smart, but this is the first time I have encountered such a carefully planned case. I also believe that they must have loopholes, but Lord Guan, we don't know where to start now."

Guan Lin shook his head and said, "There are two clues now. One is the way they enter and exit the palace. That is to say, there are only two ways for them to enter the palace. One is to break through the palace's defense formation, and then use an extremely sophisticated method of concealing their bodies. When they arrive at Baixiang Garden, they will reveal their bodies and proceed to the next task. However, this method is actually very difficult to implement. Master, don't forget that there are many sentries in the palace, and each palace is guarded by a formation. No matter which palace gate they enter from, they have to walk a long way, passing many palaces in the middle before they can reach Baixiang Garden. Not to mention the patrol team, there are also Lord You has many secret guards. Even if they are so many, you can't get to Baixiang Garden without leaving any trace, unless someone who is very familiar with the situation in the palace leads them. Even so, it is impossible to guarantee that everything will go well. Another point is that when they went out, Hua Qimei and others said that some people were injured, but they left quietly, which is even more unreasonable in the palace where there are many strong people and formations everywhere. So there is another possibility that they entered the imperial city, that is, from underground, so you can send people to the area south of Baixiang Garden to carefully check whether there are underground fortifications under the palace. "

Shi Jiuqing was suddenly enlightened by Guan Lin, and said excitedly: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this."

Guan Lin smiled and said, "Because you have a deep-rooted belief that no one dares to dig a tunnel under the palace, and the underground of the palace is also protected by formations, so no one would risk entering the palace from underground. There is another most important reason why you think so, that is, the workload is too large. If you want to tamper with the underground of the palace, it is normal to not be discovered in a day or two, but if you dig a tunnel from outside the palace to enter the palace, even the most powerful person cannot do it without a year or two. Even if they can do it, they have to dig out a lot of sand, gravel and soil. It is also a very difficult project to transport these things out of the imperial city, so you don't suspect that someone will tamper with the underground of the palace."

Shi Jiuqing nodded and said, "Could it be that they really spent a lot of time to do this? But how did they hide it from the powerful people in the imperial city?"

Guan Lin waved his hand and said, "If they really came in from underground, I think they definitely didn't enter the palace by digging. There is a natural passage under the palace, and they just used it."

Shi Jiuqing was surprised and said, "How is this possible? If there really is such a passage, the royal family must have known about it. When the palace was built, they would have conducted an underground survey. If they knew about it, they would have tried every possible way to seal it up."

Guan Lin said, "Don't be so absolute. Sometimes things are just so strange. Master, you might as well check it out first."

Shi Jiuqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it in a moment."

Guan Lin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to the Second Prince first. After all, that place is an important part of the palace. We can enter it whenever we want."

Shi Jiuqing patted his forehead and said, "You see, I forgot about this matter in my haste. Lord Guan said there is another clue. What is it?"

Guan Lin thought for a moment and said, "Another clue is that with so many of them entering the Imperial City, they must have a place to stay. As far as we know, there are about 30 people entering the Imperial City this time. With such a large plan, there must be people outside to provide support, and there must be people to cover their way out of the city. So my lowest estimate is that the number of people directly involved in the operation this time is at least 50. If we add those who provide assistance, and those who destroy the Hucheng formation and do some miscellaneous things during the operation, the conservative estimate is 70 to 80 people. With so many people, the target is not small. Although the Imperial City is very large, the management of foreign population in the Imperial City is also very strict, so their hiding place must be a place that you and I will overlook, or a place we dare not investigate."

Shi Jiuqing nodded and said, "Yes, we have thought of this, but the trouble lies here. There are too many dignitaries and spiritual families in the Imperial City. We generally do not have the right to search the courtyards of these people. If we want to search, we must obtain authorization from the royal family. But even with authorization, we dare not really search in a big way. After all, their power is deeply rooted in the Imperial City, so..."

Guan Lin smiled and said, "I know you will definitely have difficulties, so this matter can only be investigated secretly. We must not act rashly without solid evidence, so as not to alert the enemy."

Shi Jiuqing said: "Yes, in fact, I have secretly sent people to investigate, but there is still no clue."

Guan Lin stopped talking and turned to ask Yu Hanhai: "Master Yu Han, does each gate garrison camp in the imperial city have a commander? Where are these people now?"

Yu Hanhai thought for a moment and said, "The four people on duty that day are all locked up here."

Guan Lin asked again: "Where were the generals on duty the day before and the day after the accident?"

Yu Hanhai said: "Those people are now under house arrest because they were not on duty when the incident happened."

Guan Lin turned his head and looked at Shi Jiuqing again. Shi Jiuqing immediately understood what Guan Lin meant and said, "I know what Lord Guan is suspicious about. You suspect that they did not come in and leave on the same day. I also suspect this, so I have notified the people on duty on the first day and the second day after the incident not to leave their homes without permission, and to come to the Shenfa Division as soon as they are called."

Guan Lin nodded, asked Shi Jiuqing to provide the list of personnel on duty for the three days, and then said goodbye to Yu Hanhai and returned to the main hall of the Shenfa Division. Guan Lin then said, "Master, this matter is very complicated and difficult. You should continue your investigation according to the original plan. I will arrange for someone else to carry out the investigation simultaneously. I hope that we can share the clues we have later."

Shi Jiuqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Guan, I will fully cooperate with the Public Security Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Guan Lin and the other man chatted for a few more words, then said goodbye and left. Guan Lin did not return to the Public Security Division but sent a message to Youdu and Chiyu to arrange a meeting. The four of them still chose to meet at the dilapidated inn. After meeting, Guan Lin went straight to the point and asked, "What's the situation?"

Youdu spoke first, "I have mobilized all the people in the imperial city to investigate. However, after this incident, all the government offices in the imperial city are very vigilant. We dare not make any big moves for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. However, we have recently found some ambiguous clues. On the third day after the incident, fifteen caravans left the imperial city. Because the imperial city was under martial law for the first two days after the incident, all personnel were not allowed to enter or leave. It was not until the third day that they were allowed to enter and leave from the east gate of the imperial city. I suspect that these people should have hidden in the caravan and left the city. After all, with their strength, they should be able to hide from the guards at the city gate. Another thing is that it is rumored that the Duke's Mansion of Qi Yuansi, Duke of Zhiyuan, once received a group of strangers, and Qianfeng Tower also received a group of strangers. Among the caravans that left the city this time, two were from Qianfeng Tower, and one was from the Duke's Mansion. The scale of these three caravans was very large. In addition, there were two caravans from the Fourth Princess' Mansion, and their scale was not small either. I also found out their basic situation. Lord Zhiyuan was a very low-key person. He used to be in charge of the Dianhu Division of Huayang State. He was born in the Xuan family of the imperial city, which was also a medium-sized family. His background was very clean, and it was not found that he had any dealings with the Life Yuanling Sect. Qianfeng Tower was the largest restaurant in Huayang City, and it was also a force. Its main business scope was restaurants. It had branches in almost every city in Huayang City. On the surface, it was doing restaurant business, but secretly it was doing the business of selling intelligence. Its background was very strong. Legend had it that it seemed to be related to the eldest prince. I don't need to say much about the Fourth Princess. Many of his subordinates had unclean backgrounds, so they were very suspicious."

Guan Lin nodded, turned to look at Chiyu and said, "Sister Chiyu, what about you? Have you figured out the details of Hua Yuanqing?"

Chi Yu shook his head and said, "No, he seems to be involved in this matter as well. He was locked up in the mansion by his father and was not allowed to go out. I once sneaked into the Huamu Palace and found that he never went out. The entire palace was also heavily guarded, and I basically got nothing."

Guan Lin smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not easy to break the impasse. It's not easy to find useful clues in a short time. You and Elder Youdu continue to investigate for the time being. I'll think about it and I'll let you know if there's anything. But you must be careful and don't reveal your identities."

The two nodded, Guan Lin said goodbye to them and took Wu Xin back to the Public Security Bureau. After returning to his residence, he hid in the room and sorted out the matter again from the beginning. Finally, he wrote down various possibilities on a piece of white paper. He found that the whole matter had come to a stalemate. Guan Lin frowned tightly.
