daughter-in-law next door

Tang Mingze's face showed sullenness when he heard these words, and Eunuch Li smiled, and said directly, "Your servant will leave!"

slipped away.

Tang Mingze's complexion was a little bad.

"Brother, what should we do next? Should we continue to investigate?" Tang Yaxin asked a little uneasy.

"Continue to investigate. Eunuch Li will speak like this. Our actions must have threatened them. If we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, maybe the fourth prince will show his ponytail."

Su Jinshi didn't speak, but she didn't think so in her heart. She intuitively told her that Eunuch Li's words were not ordered by Ning Qiyue.

It's more like Eunuch Li himself threatened.

With such a situation in the court, if Ning Qiyue was interested in the throne, he would definitely restrain himself, but he showed no sign of restraining himself, corpses were still being discovered continuously, and the situation was even getting worse.

Su Jinshi felt that maybe Ning Qiyue didn't want to be emperor.

But whether Ning Qiyue wants to be emperor has nothing to do with her, she just wants to settle this matter quickly so that she can leave.

"Then shall we still investigate the identity of the victim?"

Tang Yaxin's words interrupted Su Jinshi's train of thought, but made her suddenly have another thought.

Perhaps investigating the identity of the victim would give them an answer, but it was too slow and took too long.

Tang Mingze frowned, and looked at Su Jinshi vaguely, "I think this is indeed a method, but if we investigate in this way, I don't know how long we will investigate, if the emperor can't stand it... ..."

Tang Yaxin nodded, "I also have this concern, but I don't know how to find a breakthrough."

Tang Mingze didn't speak, Su Jinshi knew that they were all waiting for her to speak.

She whispered, "This is not a good place to talk."

Indeed, they were in the Imperial Garden, and in Su Jinshi's impression, the Imperial Garden was the place where people were most likely to be overheard.

Tang Mingze took the two of them to the small pavilion in the lake. The pavilion was in the middle of the lake. There was no other road except for a small path leading from the shore. In addition, the small pavilion was surrounded by water, so there was no need to worry about where someone would hide eavesdrop.

Tang Mingze and Tang Yaxin sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, while Su Jinshi stood behind Tang Yaxin.

"If the fourth prince is really the killer behind all the serial murders, then there must be some similarities between the cases in the palace and those we have experienced before."

Just in case, Su Jinshi's voice was so low that only the Tang brothers and sisters who were closest to her could hear clearly.

"The fourth prince is cautious, maybe he can be different." Tang Mingze somewhat disagreed with Su Jinshi's idea.

Su Jinshi shook his head, "Although he is cautious, he also has his own habits. If you observe those corpses carefully, you will find that he is very serious about each corpse, just like a treasure. He let his treasure Exposed before us just to show off his treasures while defying us."

Tang Mingze didn't understand, but he didn't interrupt, and continued to listen to Su Jinshi.

"Do you remember the three previous cases? Each murderer took something from the victim for his own collection. This is what they have in common. Of course, another thing they have in common is that they all have carrier pigeons for their own collection. Keep in touch with the Fourth Prince."

"Why do they collect the victim's things? Those things can prove that they are the murderers. Why don't they throw them away, but collect them instead? Because they kill people not because they have hatred for those people, but because they are completing a handicraft, and something on the victim's body One thing is proof that they finished that craft, and of course they want to keep it."

"You mean, the fourth prince will also keep something from the victim like them?" Tang Yaxin's voice trembled.

Tang Mingze also felt a chill behind him, if that was the case, then the Fourth Prince was really terrifying.

Su Jinshi nodded, "It's just that we don't know what he kept, and we have no way to search the fourth prince's palace."

"However, we can use the victim's friends or people related to the victim to know whether the victim has anything particularly precious." Tang Mingze said suddenly.

There was no smile on his face, and he frowned, "Although I don't want to believe that the fourth prince is such a person, I can't find a reason to refute what you just said. I just hope that we won't be afraid to talk to you at the end of our investigation." Lost."

Su Jinshi sighed in her heart, she thought, this should be impossible.

"Although what Jin Shi just said is feasible, it is still a bit of a trick. Let's divide into two ways. I will investigate how the victim is in contact with the fourth prince. Yaxin, you and Jin Shi will investigate the more precious things on the victim. Things." Tang Mingze thought for a while before saying.

Tang Yaxin and Su Jinshi wanted to refuse, but when they saw Tang Mingze's eyes, it was clear: I don't want to be so embarrassing with you, let's go our own way.

Helpless, Tang Yaxin and Su Jinshi had to investigate together.

Well, I didn't speak all the way.

Hmm, kind of embarrassing.

They went to the morgue first and looked at the corpse carefully.

Although the corpse was horribly murdered, Su Jinshi and Tang Yaxin insisted on reading it, but their faces were pale.

"Miss Tang, these corpse slaves are disgusting. You are a precious body, don't let these filthy things stain the eyes of the girl." The father-in-law in charge followed behind Tang Yaxin, nagging non-stop.

Tang Yaxin ignored her.

After reading the entity, they went outside, breathed in the fresh air, and got some sunlight. Only then did the two girls feel alive again.

"Did these all be discovered recently?" Tang Yaxin endured the discomfort and asked the father-in-law.

The father-in-law said in a sharp voice: "Isn't it? More and more corpses have been found in recent days, and the emperor's health is getting worse and worse. The fourth prince dare not tell the emperor. Alas, I don't know when the palace will die." Only in the middle can he regain his peace, the slave's master has been tired and sick these days."

Tang Yaxin nodded, and didn't say anything else, but Tang Mingze asked, "Eunuch Zheng is exhausted. I don't know if Eunuch knows something about the case?"

The father-in-law in charge sighed, "How could the slave know that the slave is just by the master's side to help with the affairs."

Tang Mingze nodded, and said with a smile, "If so, I will trouble Eunuch."

After speaking, he left here with Tang Yaxin and Su Jinshi.

The three of them were walking on the road, Su Jinshi saw that there was no one around, so he asked, "Why is the eunuch in the palace?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Mingze stopped and looked at Su Jinshi.

"Actually, I'm not sure. It stands to reason that this person should be an official in the clan's mansion. How could it be a eunuch?"

"But this is just my doubt, not necessarily." Su Jinshi waved his hand and said with a smile.

"I've never paid attention to this issue." Tang Mingze thought for a while, and said, "Let's leave here first, and we'll talk when we return home."

Tang Yaxin and Su Jinshi both nodded.

The three quickly left the palace, returned to the Tang Mansion, and went straight to the study.

"I think the father-in-law in charge is a bit weird." Tang Mingze said directly.

Tang Yaxin nodded, and said, "I also think that when we entered the morgue, the father-in-law didn't inform us. Although he was very polite, it always made me feel that he didn't want us to take a closer look at the corpses."

Su Jinshi went on to say: "Well, and even though he said that Wu Zuo is his master, I always feel a little strange."

She couldn't tell what was strange about it, but she just felt that the father-in-law seemed to be hiding something.

Tang Mingze looked down, "I think that father-in-law might be the inside line that the Fourth Prince placed in the morgue."

"It's very possible, that's why the fourth prince is able to hide it. I'm afraid the palace is full of the fourth prince's eyeliner. I don't know if there is one in our house." Tang Yaxin was suddenly a little terrified.

"Probably there is, otherwise how could he know that we are investigating this case so quickly? Maybe he has already figured us out, or maybe there is a big hole in front of us waiting for us to jump." Su Jinshi hooked the corners of his lips, eyes There was a flash of coldness.

For a while, no one spoke in the study room, only the whistling wind outside could be heard, which was very loud.

"If that's the case, why should we investigate, what should we investigate, the Fourth Prince knows our every move, but we don't know anything about him." Tang Yaxin leaned back in her chair and said softly.

Tang Mingze rubbed his temples, "Even so, we still have to investigate. The emperor's condition is very bad. If we don't hurry up, the fourth prince will succeed."

Su Jinshi looked away and looked at the willow branches blowing on the ground outside. There were no green leaves on the branches, just hanging down like this, Su Jinshi suddenly felt that it looked like the emperor.

He is sick in bed, but no one really cares about him, and the children are all fighting for the supremacy.

But he is more than ten thousand people, but he has no one to accompany him in his dying years.

"The sixth prince is trying his best to win over the ministers recently, and his father is probably on his side, Yaxin," Tang Mingze paused, as if it was difficult to speak, "You...may be ready to marry the sixth prince."

Tang Yaxin was taken aback. She had indeed heard something recently, but her parents had never mentioned it, so she thought there was no such thing, but unexpectedly...

"Yaxin, I know you like the sixth prince, but..."

"Brother always doesn't want you to marry into that palace, not to mention, it's not certain whether you will be able to ascend to the next position after you marry..."

Tang Mingze spoke a lot hesitatingly, Tang Yaxin listened a little sluggishly, but Su Jinshi only felt that she just wanted to leave this deep palace compound as soon as possible.

**

At night, after Su Jinshi went back to the house and took a shower, she lay on the bed thinking about what had happened in recent days, and she always felt uneasy.

The ones they investigated are useful if they say they are useful, and it’s good to say they are useless. The things they investigated are too superficial to really shake the Fourth Prince, and they were unable to find any definite evidence.

In this palace, she had to believe that powerful people could cover the sky with one hand.

Ning Xifeng asked them to investigate, but he probably didn't hold much hope. He must have kept a hand in his mind.

It's just that she is a little strange, why the emperor dotes on Ning Qiyue so much, and he still commits those crimes, which makes the emperor's favor towards him decline. Is he too confident, or he never thought of taking that position at all.

Su Jinshi was just thinking wildly, and didn't notice that Nian Su entered the room.

"Jinshi."

Nian Su called her, Su Jinshi came back to his senses, and then saw Nian Su, but found that her complexion was a little pale, and she was very at a loss.

"Susu, what's wrong with you?" Su Jinshi quickly sat up, took her hand, and told her to sit down, but the tentacles were icy cold.

Before she had time to ask her what happened, she heard her lightly and confusedly say:

"Miss Lu...Miss Lu, you have been looking for me during the day."
