Dongming Ziyu sat casually on the railing of the corridor, and Ling Yao stood beside him, waiting for the secret guards to search the small courtyard.

Soon, the secret guard who searched the front yard came back and found nothing in the front yard.

Mo asked: "Search the backyard!"

He was willing to kneel there without raising his head, making his expression unclear.

Ling Yao pulled the snowball off her shoulder and rubbed its little ears, "Be good, go help!"

"Meow!" Snowball jumped down like a soldier who only accepted orders, and followed the secret guard to search.

Gan Yu secretly raised his eyes and saw the white cat chasing the lantern. His hands trembled slightly and he quickly lowered his head to the ground, but his body became a little stiffer.

After a while, An Yi's voice came, "Master, a secret passage has been discovered!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yao turned around and ran towards the direction of the sound.

This secret passage is also under the bed, but it is not sealed.

As soon as the floor tiles were removed, I could smell the smell of blood.

Xueqiu jumped in first, and after sending out the safe signal, Mo Wen, Dongming Ziyu, Ling Yao and other secret guards filed in.

Below is a dark room, with a pungent smell of blood filling the air.

There was a row of wooden tables in the corner, with materials for making lanterns neatly placed on them. There was a simple single wooden bed in the middle. The wooden bed and the ground under the wooden bed were stained black and red with blood.

There are many knives placed on the wooden shelf next to the bed. The knives are polished and polished. They must be wiped and maintained frequently.

Ling Yao gritted her teeth and snorted: "Pervert!"

When I looked up, my eyes fell on the top of the darkroom. There were dozens of lanterns hanging on them, all kinds of lanterns. They were also painted and painted with watercolors. They were very beautiful.

Mo Wen rose into the air, climbed up steadily, reached out and fished out three lanterns and came down.

You don't have to look carefully, the thing in this place must be made of that special material.

Ling Yao took a lantern that looked like a pig. It looked so naive, so cute, and very lovable.

After looking at it carefully, he said: "This is fresh human skin, cooked. The skin is tender and smooth, the residue on the skin has been cleaned very clean, and the blood vessels have been pulled out one by one. It should be skinned alive. The skin is still alive.

Peeling it off when it is dead can best maintain the firmness and softness of the cortex, and it will feel much better than peeling it off after death."

Everyone present secretly gasped, this murderer is so perverted.

However, judging from the current situation, there should be more than one murderer. If it is just one person, who is the other person?

According to the location of the darkroom, it was between Chu Yanqing's remote courtyard and this courtyard.

Sure enough, they found another secret door, but the other end had been sealed and the soil was new. It obviously led to the small courtyard of Chu Yanqing's house.

Obviously, the people who blocked the secret passage didn't know that the murder secret room also had a secret door leading to the house next door, otherwise they wouldn't have blocked only one end.

Dongming Ziyu ordered people to ask Chu Yanqing to bring someone over. This time, he had nothing else to say.

Not long after, Chu Yanqing hurried over with a few government servants, with cold sweat on his face.

Dongming Ziyu's words were concise and concise: "Use your lone general to dig out the secret passage and see where it leads?"

"This? What does the Emperor mean by this?" Chu Yanqing looked confused, as if he didn't know anything.

Mo Wen said coldly: "This is the scene of the murder and skinning case, just underground in your house."

Chu Yanqing refused to admit it even to his death, "What, what is going on? I don't know anything about it!"

Dongming Ziyu shed tears when he saw that he didn't see the coffin, and ordered people to dig out the blocked secret passage on the other side, which was the bedroom they just left.

Chu Yanqing came out of the secret passage and looked around blankly at the surrounding environment. After seeing clearly, his eyes widened in shock, and then he knelt on the ground with a "pop" and cried heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, please spare your life! I am a lowly official who has no way of teaching my son."

!”

Ling Yao curled her lips and cursed silently: Drama queen!

Mo Wen asked: "Is this Chu Jingye's room?"

Chu Yanqing said tremblingly: "Yes, Chu Yanqing has a hidden illness, so the official placed him in this most remote small courtyard. He sent four loyal servants to serve him, and no one comes here at ordinary times. The official... The official

I thought he was an unknown monster, and he rarely came here. I didn’t expect... ugh!"

A long sigh, as if sighing out the sadness and pain of a helpless old father.

Mo Wen asked: "This tunnel was blocked just now, didn't you know?"

Chu Yanqing shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know, Xiaguan. When he came back that night, he said he was going to get treatment. He set off early in the morning and didn't even see Xiaguan."

Mo Wen asked again: "Where are the servants in this courtyard?"

Chu Yanqing said: "We all went to Yuancheng to seek medical treatment. His condition cannot be known to others. Usually, only the four servants are there to serve him."

Dongming Ziyu nodded slightly and said: "This case involves my son. According to the regulations, you must recuse yourself. I will personally investigate this matter."

Chu Yanqing kowtowed and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. If this matter has anything to do with Quan Zi, I will definitely bear all the blame!"

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "Well, before the case is revealed, you stay in the house and don't go out."

Chu Yanqing naturally said yes again and again, and retreated while crawling.

Ling Yao asked Dongming Ziyu: "Father, do you believe his words?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "The truth is right in front of us. Let's go back and leave this place to the people below. She will be worried if we don't go back for such a long time."

Ling Yao felt that the climax of the case had passed, so she obediently agreed.

At this time, five hundred soldiers had been mobilized. Dongming Ziyu stayed behind to seal off the scene with a cold look, imprisoned the suspect on the spot, and asked Mo Wen to interrogate the suspect, then took Ling Yao and the secret guards back to their destination.

Went to the hospital.

Returning to the other courtyard, Shangguan Ruoli was not asleep as expected, leaning against the bed and reading a book.

Seeing Dongming Ziyu and Ling Yao come back safely, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Yao ran over, hugged Shangguan Ruoli's arm, told what happened, and then said: "Empress, tomorrow you go find the people from Meihua Pavilion to cooperate and check Chu Yanqing's old background. There must be something wrong with him. There must be something wrong with him."

Wiping the butt of his son Chu Jingye."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, remembered something, and said: "Chu Jingye and Mrs. Chu have been captured. They did not go to Yuancheng, but walked northwest, but they insisted that they were going to seek medical treatment."

Dongming Ziyu snorted coldly: "Now that the main suspects have been arrested, let's have a good rest. The interrogation is not urgent."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "I have already asked people to prepare moxa leaf bathing water. You go to such places to get rid of bad luck."

As a doctor, Ling Yao did not believe in gods and ghosts, but in order not to bring dirty things and scare Ling Yu, she still obeyed and took a bath with moxa leaf water.

Dongming Ziyu also went to take a bath, came out, held Shangguan Ruoli in his arms, and sighed: "Judging from the lanterns in the yard and the darkroom, some are new and some are old, at least from two years ago."

, this murderer is killing people one after another."
