Chapter 1380: Always Fearful

When Jiang Wang suddenly heard the news of Feng Gu's death, he was shocked beyond words even though he had been through many storms.

Even Zhong Xuan Sheng, who was still drinking porridge carelessly in the courtyard, raised his eyes and looked over.

Feng Gu was the eunuch in charge of the Changsheng Palace. How could he die just because he was dead?

Regardless of his cultivation level, his identity did not allow him to die so easily. Especially, he died at such a sensitive time when the funeral of the Lord of the Palace of Eternal Life had just ended...

The rain of blood of the real person in this world has not yet fallen on the execution ground for a long time!

Jiang Wangcai was stunned for a moment at the entrance of the hospital and asked, "How did you die?"

Zheng Shangming said: "Three feet of white silk was wrapped around his neck and he was hanged in the mourning hall."

"It can't be suicide, right?" Jiang Wang said.

"I can't tell." Zheng Shangming said cautiously: "It takes careful investigation before we can get the result."

"The time of death was at Zishi, which happened to be when the funeral of the Lord of the Changsheng Palace was completely over, and the guests in the Changsheng Palace had dispersed." Lin Youxie added the facts of the case at the side: "Feng Gu's body was hung in the mourning hall, except for the marks on the neck. In addition, no injuries have been found. There are no traces of alien Dao Yuan invasion in the body, and the spirit is very close to the appearance of natural dissipation. "

Jiang Wang was silent for a long time and then said: "This is too ridiculous."

A strong man who could make him feel threatened would be strangled to death by a three-foot white silk. This in itself was something that subverted logic.

"Why are you looking for Jiang Wang?" Chong Xuansheng came over at this time, and the question went straight to the core: "There are so many famous people in Beiya, so there will never be a shortage of manpower. And Jiang Wang is at a critical moment in his practice... As the first genius of Daqi, cultivation is the most important thing.”

Jiang Wang also cast a questioning look.

After experiencing the ups and downs of Huang Yi's case, he is now very wary of naming names to handle cases.

Although it is not as if I have been afraid of well ropes for ten years, I still have lingering fears for three to five months.

Lin Youxie glanced at Zhongxuansheng and said quietly: "Mr. Chongxuan, it is related to the case. I apologize for the inconvenience for you to observe."

How could Chong Xuansheng be choked so easily? But facing Zheng Shangming's apologetic eyes, he could only say "hum": "This is my yard!"

The three Qingpai decisively moved to the courtyard where Jiang Wang lived, showing the tacit understanding and quality among the Qingpai.

Zhong Xuansheng curled his lips in disdain and walked back with his hands behind his back: "Well, not many cases have been solved. The airs are bigger than my face! I don't care to listen! Fourteen, don't you think so?"

Fourteen did not speak, but gently wiped away the porridge particles from the corner of his mouth.

…

…

Entering Jiang Wang's courtyard, Zheng Shangming took out a letter from his arms: "This letter was handed over by a little eunuch who was a groom after Feng Gu died. We have already investigated this little eunuch and he is very clean." , No problem...Brother Jiang, you will know at a glance why I am looking for you."

Jiang Wang took the letter, which was clean on the surface, took out the letter paper inside, and unfolded it to see several columns of quite correct words——

“I have been feeling quite restless recently and often harbor fear, so I left this book behind.

If I die, it will be murder.

Looking around, no one is doubtful. After looking around Beiya, I only believe in Jiang Qingyang.

The old man has a short life, and it is not a pity to die, so the coffin will be closed. If God has mercy on him, he is willing to hunt down the murderer for this old slave in the Changsheng Palace... Only Jiang Qingyang can supervise the whole process, and he can be worry-free under the nine springs. "

The signature is... "Feng Gu's masterpiece."

This is a suicide note!

Feng Gu had already foreseen his own death!

Who will kill him?

And why kill him?

After Jiang Wuqi's death, the emperor ordered that the Changsheng Palace should still be preserved. As the de facto heir of this palace, Feng Gu needed status and strength. Jiang Wuqi's legacy alone was enough for him to live peacefully. And why can't he protect himself?

After reading this letter, Jiang Wang felt indescribable.

He remembered that when he left Changsheng Palace that day, Feng Gu said something meaningful in front of the screen wall. I originally planned to wait until the funeral was over, then take the time to visit the Changsheng Palace and ask about the secret.

Unexpectedly, just after Jiang Wuqi’s funeral, Feng Gu disappeared...

"This case has reached the ears of the emperor." Zheng Shangming said in a very formal tone: "According to Feng Gu's suicide note, Beiya specially asked Jiang Captou to supervise the case to ensure that the case can be promoted in a clean manner. ”

Feng Gu asked for help in the mourning hall that day, but he never dared or forgot this favor.

It is reasonable to fulfill his last wish so that he will have no worries after his death.

Jiang Wang had already agreed in his heart, but he still asked first: "Can I refuse?"

"You are free to refuse or not." Zheng Shangming said: "We are ordered to ask you to supervise the handling of this case, not to order you to join the case."

Jiang Wang asked again: "Brother Zheng is responsible for this case?"

Zheng Shangming said: "Deputy Ambassador Lin and I jointly investigated this case."

"Who is the leader?" Jiang Wang asked.

"It's me for now." Zheng Shangming said.

In other words, judging from the clues they currently have, this case does not rule out the possibility of further expansion.

"Do I have to follow him the whole time?" Jiang Wang asked.

He was a little worried that if this case lasted too long, it would shorten his time for practice.

Zheng Shangming said: "You are supervising this case to take care of Feng Gu's personal last wish. It is not an appointment given to you by Beiya or anyone else. If you want to join, you can join, and you can stop at any time if you want."

After thinking for a while, he added: "The emperor also said that this matter is up to you."

Jiang Wang asked himself that he had no talent in handling cases. The emperor also knew this, and so did Beiya. The last time he was named to investigate Huang Yixing, he had a special political background, and Lin Youxie was mainly responsible for the detection of specific cases.

This time, because of Feng Gu's suicide note, he was asked to join the case again, but he was given the status of a supervisor, which could avoid a lot of trouble before and after.

It can be regarded as Beiya's care, and it also includes the emperor's approval.

After all, the previous case of Huang Yixing did not cause any turmoil in Pingping Country. Only Jiang Wang was hunted down to heaven and earth. Both the emperor and Beiya should feel a little guilty towards Jiang Wang.

Therefore, in this case, he was given maximum autonomy.

Of course, Jiang Qingyang always expressed sympathy with Jiang Wuqi, but now Jiang Wuqi's body is still cold, and the eunuch he trusted most in his life has died unexpectedly. If Jiang Wang is not even willing to supervise the progress of the case, it is hard to say whether the emperor will have any thoughts in his heart.

Zheng Shangming specifically mentioned the emperor as a reminder.

Jiang Wang thought for a while and then said: "I agree to this matter. When will we set off?"

"Go to the Changsheng Palace now." Lin Youxie said.

It seems that in terms of specific investigation, Lin Youxie is still the main one...

Although Jiang Wang deliberately told the housekeeper that Lin Youxie's visit needed to be communicated and asked about the purpose of his visit, so as to clearly distinguish the distance between him and Lin Youxie and avoid possible trouble in the future.

But secretly, I admire Lin Youxie very much.

Whether it's her ability to handle cases or her persistence and integrity as a top professional.

The current lineup of investigators is quite interesting.

One is Lin Youxie, a famous arrester who has real information, and the other is the son of the captain of Bei Ya. It is not known how good he is in handling cases. His family background is probably not much different. The most important thing is his identity, which determines who he is. Can mobilize most of Beiya's resources.

Plus he has a third-grade official, Jiang Qingyang.

Not to mention that there is no one in Linzi who cannot investigate, but there is also quite a lot of space for handling cases.

The three of them exchanged a few words, and Jiang Wang had nothing to deal with. He hung a long sword on his waist and followed Xiao Sa out.

It was different to focus on the case. Beiya's carriage was waiting outside the house, picked up the three of them and went straight to the Changsheng Palace.

Qingpai suspended vehicle, smooth flow.

After briefly communicating about the case on the way, they arrived at the palace gate.

Since Feng Gu's body was discovered, the entire Changsheng Palace has been sealed off.

Therefore, the decoration here is still during the funeral, which is not much different from what Jiang Wang saw when he came to express his condolences that day.

Of course, Jiang Wuqi's coffin has been carried away and buried, and is now in the imperial mausoleum.

At this time, the Changsheng Palace was empty. There was only a team of green agents guarding the palace gate, not allowing anyone to go in to destroy the clues, and only waiting for the arrival of Zheng Shangming and others who were in charge of the case.

It can also be seen from here that the confidentiality level of this case is very high. Otherwise, the palace guards should be mobilized to seal the palace gate, instead of being solely responsible for Beiya.

"The guards, eunuchs, and maids in this palace are all being detained in Beiyali and will be questioned separately." Zheng Shangming said, "We can also interrogate them at any time."

The palace, covered in white and covered with frost, is very cold. Even in the daytime, the autumn sun cannot make people feel the warmth.

Especially when there is no one around, it makes people feel uneasy.

Only Zheng Shangming, Jiang Wang, and Lin Youxie walked into the Changsheng Palace, and the team of gatekeepers still guarded the palace gate.

Jiang Wang silently listened to the different footsteps of the three people and tried to judge the different moods of the other two people - this was of course in vain, as they were not people who showed their emotions easily.

The once bright and majestic palace now only has a cold feeling permeating it.

It almost reminded Jiang Wang of Qingshi Palace.

Lin Youxie said: "Nothing in this palace has been touched. At least after we banned it, no one came in."

Jiang Wang became more and more aware of the importance of this case...

Beiya takes it too seriously!

He didn't even have that much trust in Qingpai. The team of policemen were guarding the door and no one was allowed to come in. In such a big palace, only the three of them are here to look for clues. How long will it take to find out?

Let’s take another look at the investigation team at this time.

Zheng Shi is the emperor's confidant, and Zheng Shangming is Zheng Shi's son. There is no doubt that the emperor can trust him.

Lin Youxie is a descendant of one of the four famous Qingpai families. He has a clean net worth and is reliable in his actions. Although one of the four major Qingpai families had a guilty conscience, he had been beheaded and died. But the last case of Huang Yixing also clearly explained the difference between her and Li Yougui.

Not to mention Jiang Wang himself, an old eunuch like Feng Gu, no matter what secrets were involved, would not have anything to do with him, a genius who had only come to Qi in recent years.

Judging from the posture shown by Beiya.

Feng Gu said in his suicide note, "Look around you, no one is suspicious."

Maybe it's not just a suspicious statement...

Who wants to kill him? Who has so much energy?

Jiang Wang felt worried.

The three people first came to the main hall of Changsheng Palace, which is the "mourning hall".

Except that the coffin has been carried away, the altar, coffin, incense burner, seats... everything is the same as on the first day of the funeral.

Everything that happened that day is still vivid in my mind, but looking back now, the palace is empty.

Looking up from the place where the coffin was carried away, a three-foot white silk hanging alone on the dome, like a frozen cloud.

"Feng Gu's body is also in Beiya now. Do you want to go and see it later?" Lin Youxie asked.

"Of course I want it." Jiang Wang said.

He didn't intend to find any information on Feng Gu's body. The professional head constables in the Northern Court must have checked it more than once. Jiang Wang didn't think he could find any clues that they couldn't find.

But since he agreed to supervise the case so that Feng Gu would be at ease in his grave, he also had to supervise whether the body was tampered with during the inspection.

Lin Youxie nodded and said nothing more. He put on a pair of white leather gloves and began to search carefully for clues in the main hall.

Jiang Wang glanced subconsciously... Fortunately, it was not the pair of corpse film gloves last time, and of course it was not an autopsy now.

On the other side, Zheng Shangming also put on gloves and was carefully checking the altar.

Jiang Wang's duty was to supervise, so he looked at Zheng Shangming from time to time and at Lin Youxie from time to time.

Zheng Shangming's movements were very meticulous, as if he would not miss any inch of the place. Lin Youxie first glanced around, and then focused on observing a few locations.

Jiang Wang silently scored their search efficiency in his heart. While supervising, he would also glance at the surrounding environment.

It seems like he has nothing to do...

In fact, he has nothing to do.

He is a bit redundant in this team at the moment.

Of course, even if he wants to join and help collect clues, he will probably be rejected. Collecting clues requires professional ability. Before systematic training, his talent in fighting is not suitable for this. It is good enough not to destroy the clues.

The search of the mourning hall lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Lin Youxie and Zheng Shangming stopped one after another. Obviously, they did not find any particularly valuable information. Or they found something but did not show it.

In short, their expressions were very calm.

"Where to search next?" Jiang Wang asked.

"Study." Lin Youxie said.

Jiang Wuqi's study, Jiang Wang was familiar with it.

"Let's go." He led the way directly in front.

"Brother Jiang, I heard that you have a deep friendship with the eleventh prince?" Zheng Shangming asked on the way.

"We have not met much, but we appreciate each other." Jiang Wang said truthfully.

"Are you familiar with Feng Gu?" Zheng Shangming asked again.

After asking, he quickly added: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting you, I just simply want to know some information."

"It's okay." Jiang Wang could fully understand and said frankly: "I can't say that I'm familiar with Eunuch Feng. The Eleventh Prince asked him to invite me to meet him, and that was the first time I met this person. The second time we met was when the Eleventh Prince gave me a gift. At the Eleventh Prince's funeral, I met him for the third time, and the last time."

"Do you think..." Zheng Shangming asked: "Does he want to die?"

Jiang Wang shook his head: "I can't judge, and I don't want to interfere with you."

Lin Youxie, who had been listening silently, suddenly said: "We're here."

They walked very fast, and while they were talking, they had already arrived in front of Jiang Wuqi's study.

Jiang Wang was a little surprised: "Captain Lin seems to be familiar with this place too?"

Lin Youxie did not answer, stretched out his hand and pressed it, pushed open the door of the palace without direct contact, and then walked in first.

Of course, she wanted to grasp the situation at first sight, and Zheng Shangming followed closely behind.

Jiang Wang walked slowly.

This was his third time here, and he felt different every time he came.

The second time I came here, Jiang Wuqi was dead. The third time I came here, Feng Gu was dead...

I still remember the first time I came here, Jiang Wuqi's grand spirit and Feng Gu's mysterious danger.

But the study was empty at this time.

No one was there, but the furnishings were the same as yesterday.

The tables, chairs, pens, and bookshelves were arranged as before, and even the bowl of medicine soup on the table was still there.

It seemed that the owner had just gone out for something, leaving this empty study to welcome uninvited guests.

It really makes people feel lonely.

Lin Youxie walked to the desk, did not reach out to touch the medicine bowl, but bent down and sniffed it gently.

Her eyebrows frowned.

"Is there anything wrong with this medicine?" Zheng Shangming asked.

Lin Youxie thought for a while and said, "It contains the ingredient of Yinlingcao."

"Yinlingcao?" Jiang Wang looked confused.

Lin Youxie explained: "It is a drug that will dissipate the true essence and create severe pain. We sometimes use it in interrogations."

"That is to say..." Zheng Shangming could not hide his surprise: "His Highness the Eleventh Prince has been relying on this drug to suppress his own strength. In order to avoid breaking through to the Outer Building Realm too early."

Jiang Wang did not speak.

He just looked at the jade bowl quietly.

Remembering that Jiang Wuqi did not drink this bowl of medicine on the day he went to Yunwu Mountain.

Two in one, see you tomorrow.
