The little concubine with many children and good fortune wins the harem by doing nothing

The more Chu Junze listened, the gloomier his expression became.

It turned out that the officials who had lost items were all from the mansions that he and Su Qianqian had raided before.

"Why!" Chu Junze couldn't help but wonder. He didn't understand whether this was a coincidence or someone did it on purpose.

Logically speaking, these mansions had been cleared out by him and Qianqian a long time ago, so why would anyone continue to steal? Or was it that apart from him and Qianqian, no one else was stealing?

At this moment, Zhan Ping's mind was in turmoil. The recent serial murders were really too weird. It was just murder, so why did they have to peel off the victim's face?

Is it to prevent the government from finding out who the victim is?

Zhan Ping stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have secretly sent people to keep an eye on the mansions that were robbed. As for the murderer, I have no clues yet."

Chu Junze nodded, "Okay, then continue to watch. Remember, don't alert the enemy."

"Yes, I obey your command!" After receiving the order, Zhan Ping stepped aside, but his brows were still furrowed.

"My dear Su, why do you think there is a connection between these two cases?" Chu Junze asked.

“Reporting to the emperor, the reason why I have this guess is that the time of the theft and the murder overlap, and the bodies were all found around those mansions.

Therefore, I dare to make this guess, but I still don’t understand why the killer wanted to peel off the dead man’s face. "

Similarly, this is also the doubt in Zhan Ping's mind, but unfortunately no clues have been found so far.

Chu Junze looked at their puzzled expressions and finally pointed out: "Maybe the murderer is looking for something?!"

Chu Junze paused, then continued, "I have heard that there is a kind of disguise technique in the martial arts world that can use the skin of another person to achieve the effect of changing one's appearance.

Do you think the murderer wanted to use the skins of the dead to look like them?"

Hearing this, Zhan Ping and Su Qianqian looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"If so, what is the murderer's purpose?" Zhan Ping asked.

Chu Junze pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "If this is true, then the murderer is probably trying to avoid being caught by someone. Or, he is planning to approach a certain target."

"Your Majesty is right." Zhan Ping nodded. "It seems that we should not only track down the whereabouts of the murderer, but also pay attention to whether there is someone pretending to be the deceased and sneaking in."

"Well, what Lord Zhan said is absolutely right." Chu Junze looked at Zhan Ping, "Then I'll leave this case to you and Lord Su. You two must find out the truth as soon as possible to avoid causing more panic."

Finally, a few days later, the guards sent by Zhan Ping to keep watch brought news that some clues had been found in the robbed mansions.

After receiving the news, Zhan Ping and Su Xinghe immediately went to the crime scene.

"According to the report from the secret guards, some strange symbols were found in the stolen mansion. They look like some kind of secret code." Zhan Ping said solemnly.

Su Xinghe was shocked, "Could it be that there is a huge conspiracy behind this?"

Thinking of this, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, so they immediately went to the palace to ask to see the emperor.

At this time, Chu Junze was reviewing memorials in the Zichen Hall, and Eunuch Xi was standing by his side dutifully serving him with writing materials.

Since there have been a lot of memorials coming in from the border recently, Chu Junze has been staying in the Purple Palace almost every day after the morning court session.

So when Zhan Ping and Su Xinghe rushed to the Zichen Palace, Chu Junze was still busy.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"No need to formality, please stand up! Lord Zhan, Lord Su, tell me, what have you found out?" Chu Junze asked as he put down the red pen in his hand.

"Reporting to the emperor, I found some strange symbols in the robbed mansion. They seem to be some kind of secret code." Zhan Ping told the secret guard what he had reported truthfully.

Chu Junze frowned slightly, "What do these symbols mean?"

Su Xinghe stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, there may be a huge conspiracy behind this. These symbols may be clues left by the murderer, or they may be a way for their organization to communicate with each other."

Chu Junze's eyes turned cold, "No matter what, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Lord Zhan, you should quickly order someone to investigate the origin and meaning of these symbols.

Su Aiqing, go and secretly monitor all those involved in this case."

"I obey your command!" the two responded in unison.

Chu Junze paused, then continued: "Remember, don't alert the enemy. If you find anything, report it immediately."

Zhan Ping and Su Xinghe looked at each other, both feeling a great sense of responsibility.

They knew very well that if they were not careful while investigating the case, it might cause a huge uproar.

After receiving the order, Zhan Ping and Su Xinghe left.

After Zhan Ping returned to the Dali Temple, he immediately summoned a group of smart and capable subordinates and ordered them to do their best to trace the origin and meaning of the symbol.

Su Xinghe disguised himself as an ordinary citizen, quietly lurking around people related to the case, closely watching their every move.

A few days passed, and just when the two had no clue, Su Xinghe accidentally discovered a mysterious person.

This person's whereabouts are secretive, he often goes in and out of some inconspicuous corners, and he seems to have marks similar to the symbols on his body.

So Su Xinghe decided to follow this person to see if he could find a breakthrough. However, while he was following him, he was accidentally discovered by him.

The man turned and looked at Su Xinghe, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" the mysterious man asked in a cold tone.

Su Xinghe's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface, "I was just passing by here, and I happened to see the mark on your body, and I was a little curious."

The mysterious man sneered, "Curiosity kills the cat. Since you have seen something you shouldn't have seen, don't even think about leaving alive."

After saying that, the mysterious man attacked Su Xinghe as fast as lightning.

Su Xinghe dodged sideways and then displayed his martial arts, but his skills were only superficial. Facing this master, he was very panicked.

Fortunately, Chu Junze had arranged secret guards to protect him in secret.

Seeing this, the secret guards quickly appeared and fought with the mysterious man.

Su Xinghe also took the opportunity to escape to the side. After all, his fighting strength was there, and even if he went up, he would only cause trouble.

So he stood aside consciously. He knew that his mission had been completed and the next thing could be left to the secret guards.
