Homecoming Speech

Chapter 57 Dark Light

"Then how did the murderer deal with the murder weapon and the blood-spattered clothes?" Bai Qingfeng raised his hand and rubbed his temples, rubbing his fingers repeatedly on the white jade flute hanging around his waist.

Fu Danggui took out the agate earrings that Liu Yanran broke off when Liu Yanran died wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve, "According to the analysis of the clues found before, the murder weapon is likely to be a special luminous stone hairpin."

"The most difficult thing now is that the imperial city is closed, and there is not enough time to go out of the palace to investigate some things." Bai Qingfeng's expression gradually became sad, and his eyes were deep.

The fire clouds in the sky were reflected in the pool, and the pool, which had been turbid due to the officers and soldiers' rummaging, became a little more peaceful, and the pink and white lotus petals opened, reflecting a bit of joyful color.

The scenery remained the same, but things were different. Fu Danggui's eyes were fixed on the edge of the lotus pond, and he saw many mosquitoes flying around, but he didn't dare to approach the two of them because they were wearing powerful mosquito repellent sachets.

But Fu Danggui had an idea, "I read in the book that the main city of the people of the southern country is in the mountains and forests. They are not afraid of mosquitoes at all, and they don't wear mosquito repellent sachets."

"Yes, if you want to use mosquitoes to test the murderer, you may fail. After all, whoever visits the garden doesn't wear mosquito repellent sachets. Are you going to ask them to take them all off?" Bai Qingfeng was like a roundworm in Fu Danggui's stomach. Just guessed his idea.

"That's what you said, but I didn't intend to use such an obvious method. Xiaobai, what do you think is the most sensitive animal in the world?" Fu Danggui narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled like a fox. The usual cunning and smart eyes overflowed.

"Dog." A light flashed in Bai Qingfeng's clear eyes, as if he understood Fu Danggui's meaning.

But Fu Danggui sighed, "It's just that this method still won't work, after all, the Queen Mother is also from the Southern Kingdom..."

In the middle of the sentence, Fu Danggui knew that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly continued: "There is also a nanny who knows the witchcraft of the Southern Kingdom to wait by her side."

"Well, it's not a waste of discussion." Bai Qingfeng shook his head with a chuckle.

"The murderer is a man who is acquainted with Liu Yanran. He wears a hairpin made of luminous stones or other accessories. He knows the skills of witchcraft in the southern country. He is a master of martial arts and is left-handed." Fu Danggui murmured softly to integrate the clues.

At this moment, Xiaoqing, who hadn't seen him for a long time, jumped down from the rockery and said, "There are blood marks on the top of the rockery. This person's footsteps are light, and there are not many clues left, but the feet are too small, which seems a bit like a woman's. foot."

"Perhaps... such a meticulous plan has been a case for a long time, and it was not done by one person." Fu Danggui put away the handkerchief, and rubbed the bone of the jade folding fan with his right hand.

"If there were people in the palace helping to dispose of the blood-stained clothes and murder weapons, even if there were so many clues in this case, it would be difficult to catch the murderer." Bai Qingfeng also felt the treachery and changeability of this matter.

Xiaoqing shook her head and reminded: "That's not necessarily the case. I have already seen the direction of the Qinggong flight clearly. I can conclude that the murderer, no matter whether it is a single person or a group of people, all returned to the imperial garden and continued to participate in the garden."

"The soles of the feet are stained with blood." Fu Danggui heard the point of Xiaoqing's words.

"I still can't figure out why the blood stained on the murderer's clothes drips down to the ground." Fu Danggui pinched his nose, today's incident is really a bit bad.

"Master, look at the rocks here!" Xiaoqing's eyes were poisonous, as if he had noticed something strange.

Fu Danggui and Bai Qingfeng walked over to have a look, and found that the place Xiaoqing pointed to was a relatively hidden stone platform outside the fake cave, and there was a scratch on the edge of the stone platform.

At this moment, Fu Danggui carefully took out a trace of red and yellow silk threads from the scratches, and a thought gradually rose in his mind.

"Master Fu, the garden tour is over. Your Majesty has informed everyone to attend the banquet outside the temple." Xiaofeng's voice came from the other side of the rockery.

"Danggui...Danggui!" Bai Qingfeng frowned and looked at Fu Danggui, who was staring at the red and yellow silk thread in a daze. Bai Qingfeng called Fu Danggui several times before he came back to his senses.

"Xiaobai, you called me? What's the matter?" Fu Danggui hurriedly put the red and yellow silk thread in the handkerchief wrapped with the earrings.

Bai Qingfeng shook his head, and called all the officers and soldiers to rest, "Let's go, go to the night banquet. Although we haven't found out who the murderer is, if I can be punished with you, I think it's worth it."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't worry, no matter what, I won't let you have an accident." Fu Danggui patted Bai Qingfeng's chest and said with a light smile.

"What are you doing in a daze, let's go!" Bai Qingfeng looked at Fu Danggui, feeling a little apprehensive, but Fu Danggui pulled him away from the rockery.

After leaving the fake mountain pass, Fu Danggui saw that all the people in the garden had left for the night banquet, and his eyes were still looking around, but he didn't see Chuhe and Xiaofeng. He suddenly felt a little lost.

Bai Qingfeng saw that Fu Danggui's eyes turned gloomy for a moment, thinking that he was afraid, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, this case has no beginning and no end, it is difficult to investigate, the Holy Majesty will not blame too much, but I am afraid it will be better in the future It's just not being reused for a long time."

"That can't be done!" Fu Danggui hurriedly responded, the purpose of his coming to Shengjing was to gain the trust of the Holy Majesty, and then investigate that matter.

"What? When did the lofty Fu Danggui start greedy for power and position?" Bai Qingfeng chuckled, looking at Fu Danggui with lowered and inquiring eyes.

Fu Danggui shook his head contemptuously, "Although I want to take up my duties in my position and do my best to redress the injustice in this world, it doesn't mean that I really adapt to the atmosphere of intrigue in the court."

"But I admire you very much, Xiaobai. You are like the innocent lotus in the mud. You stand out in different numbers in the court, and you don't pay attention to anyone. You are the one who really does it. It's time to stick to your original intention." Fu Danggui looked at Bai Qingfeng enviously.

Hearing this, Bai Qingfeng had a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were in a trance, "Danggui, don't praise me like that, I can't wear such a high hat."

The Huoshaoyun gradually disappeared, and the blue sky was stained with dark colors. At the end of the sky, everything in front of me was reborn with strange colors in the slowly approaching night.

The night was getting darker and thicker, and the night banquet was held in the largest open space in the imperial city.

Above the clearing, hanging basket lanterns surround the night banquet, driving away the darkness and illuminating the crowd.

The invitations for the night banquet were officials from the imperial court, important concubines in the harem, relatives of the emperor and their family members. Looking up, there were almost a hundred people. A total of 66 tables were set up in a semicircle on the left and right sides.
