Li Huaiyun said, "The stench and low hum mentioned in the file are likely to come from this locust tree."
"But it's not very clear in this file. I checked it in the palace and found nothing. And according to your inference, wasn't the body placed in the tree trunk before my mother's accident?"
"Look at the corpse, it doesn't look like it has been there for more than ten years?"
"No! If it was in a normal environment, it would be impossible. But the body is inside a tree trunk, so it might look like this."
"Are you sure?"
"This... I'm not sure!" Li Huaiyun shook his head. This was the first time he encountered this situation. He lightly patted his forehead, "We'd better wait for the follow-up of Dali Temple's investigation!"
He sighed, "This case is too old. If it could be investigated clearly at that time, it wouldn't be so difficult to handle!"
"If we had found out clearly, my mother's murderer would not have gone unpunished."
Li Huaiyun brought pen and ink from the house, then took out the talisman paper on his body, accurately drew the talisman inside on the white paper, and then wrote the basic situation of the case aside.
He wanted to entrust this talisman to be handed over to Sikyong, so that he could understand the case and tell him what the talisman was used for.
Mu Yuan asked with some confusion, "Why not just send this talisman paper over? Do you still need to draw it yourself?"
Li Huaiyun looked around, leaned forward towards Mu Yuan, and whispered, "Think about it, when we first arrived, the Minister of Dali Temple went directly out to greet us and had all the files ready. In our situation, he was afraid that we would be People are watching, and if we just send the talisman away, it will inevitably be transferred. If we do this, we can still keep the original talisman without fear of losing clues."
Mu Yuan nodded in agreement, feeling that the other party was more cautious!
After Li Huaiyun finished drawing, he folded the talisman paper and wrapped it casually with other paper. The more casually, the less the other party cared about it.
He handed it to Mu Yuan, "It's up to you to ask someone to deliver this talisman to Sikyong."
Mu Yuan took the talisman and was still a little confused, "Why do you ask me to deliver it? Is it necessary?"
"I just need Mu Yuan to be your princess so that these people don't dare to fool you."
Mu Yuan held the talisman and looked at him sharply, "Then are you confident in solving this case?"
Li Huaiyun frowned and folded his hands on his chest. Different from previous cases, this is an unsolved case that has been pending for more than ten years. Many clues have disappeared. "Mu Yuan, to be honest, I have no clue about this case!"
"Forget it! I don't have much hope! Whatever can be found is what it is? I won't forgive that fool. If he had done something to my own mother, things like that wouldn't have happened."
Mu Yuan took the talisman and left the house.
When Li Huaiyun saw that he was the only one left in the room, he called Narcissus out from the scroll on his waist.
Narcissus was wearing a green cheongsam. She had a well-proportioned figure, with bulging front and back. She glanced around and said in a shy voice, "Master, are you asking me to come out to serve you? Why does this place look like a school? It's so charming. !”
Li Huaiyun took out a yellow paper man from his arms and put it directly on Narcissus' head. The paper man was instantly incinerated and turned into a puff of air that penetrated into Narcissus' forehead.
The graceful figure of Narcissus suddenly turned into an entity and was no longer illusory. Coupled with the gorgeous face and the identity of a wife, the Cao thieves were excited.
"Sir, do you really want to be here?"
Li Huaiyun put a hand on Narcissus' fair shoulder, and then pointed to the shelves aside where files were stored, "What about you! You are responsible for checking these shelves for me."
"Ah! Check this rack?"
"I went over to look through the file, and when I saw the words "arson" written in it, I took out the file and put it on the table."
Narcissus was also confused. She thought she was here to serve and enjoy, but in the end, she was asked to work.
"Sir, why do you call me out just for this matter?" She looked puzzled.
Li Huaiyong patted Narcissus' perky buttocks hard, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
Narcissus gasped, "I hate it! Master." She walked towards the shelf and started flipping through the files on it.
Li Huaiyun was in charge of the other half of the bookshelf. He took down the files and looked through them carefully. According to the description of the man in black, the time of the fire should be on these cabinets.
He and Narcissus quickly flipped through the files. After a while, they had already flipped through half of the files, but none of the cases were about arson.
strangeness! No! Li Huaiyun touched his head and muttered something in his mind, could it be that the time was wrong?
The current emperor has only been on the throne for seventeen or eighteen years. This arson case cannot be too old. Is it because there is no record? Or is there something else involved in this arson case?
Li Huaiyun and Narcissus continued to read the remaining files.
"Sir! Does this count?" Narcissus held the file in front of him, "Take a look!"
Li Huaiyun walked up. This file recorded a case. It did say that it was suspected of man-made arson, and the time was four or five years ago.
But when he turned the pages, he found that the file was missing several key pages. When he turned to the back, the case jumped to other cases.
Sure enough, this file had been tampered with, and someone deliberately wanted to hide it. Li Huaiyun held the incomplete file with a serious look on his face, and he thought of a serious question.
Even the files have been handled privately. Is it possible that the people in Dali Temple know nothing about this case?
But if the dossier was taken directly out of Dali Temple or destroyed, wouldn't no one know about it?
Strange, who wanted to tear those pages?
Narcissus took the file and stamped his feet impatiently, "Oh, Master, are you okay? I can't take it anymore!"
"Look how weak you are!"
Li Huaiyun glanced helplessly at Narcissus opposite him, "I can't even lift such a heavy file."
"Young Master!" Narcissus said in that delicate voice, "I am here to serve you, and I am not here to do these things."
"You see, you don't have much energy, and you don't pay much attention to your service. It's just as comfortable as lying down, isn't it? Keep your master, I, busy!"
Narcissus still had that thought, "Master, we are here to serve, so it is normal to ask for a little more relaxation!"
Li Huaiyun pouted, and suddenly he wanted to improve this woman's ideological level, "What's normal? You are my maid now. You shouldn't just lie on your back, you have to complete the KPI!"
"Ah! KPI? What is that?"
"To put it simply, complete the order I gave you! If you achieve it, I will give you some reward. If you don't complete it, you will be punished."
Li Huaiyun faced Narcissus with a wicked smile on his face, "Tell me, do you want reward or punishment?"
"Then it depends on what the reward is?"
Li Huaiyun patted her butt hard again, "Master gives you a reward, you can only accept it, there is no reason to refuse!"
Narcissus ducked away shyly.
At this moment, Mu Yuan walked in from outside. She saw Li Huaiyun standing in front of the shelf, and there was a graceful woman on the other side.
She was so frightened that she clenched the fist in her hand, "Who?"
Narcissus was standing there, raising his hand and saying hello.
Mu Yuan then remembered that this Narcissus was not the wronged soul that Li Huaiyun subdued from the North District!
She looks pretty good, with a curvy front and back.
She said loudly, "What on earth is going on! How did you let her out?"
"Nothing, I just want her to do me a favor and find something!"
Narcissus also responded with that shy voice, "Young Master let me out because there were not enough manpower."
Mu Yuan asked curiously, "What else are you looking for? Could it be a file?"
"Yes!"
"What dossier are you trying to find?"
Li Huaiyun said, "It's about an arson case. It seems that a lot of people were killed by the fire!"
"People who were burned to death in the fire?"
"Yes!" Li Huaiyun picked up the file and said, "In this file, there is indeed a case of someone being burned to death in a fire, but the following pages are all missing. I wonder who tore them out?"
Mu Yuan fell into deep thought, arson case?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, "I remember that when I was in Qianji Pavilion, I heard Sikyong talk about the arson case."
"Sikyong?" Li Huaiyun felt excited. Finally, someone knew, "Mu Yuan, have you really heard about this arson case?"
"I don't know the specifics. I just know that this case was not an accident."
Li Huaiyun asked curiously, "Who is the dead person?"
"It's the people from Dali Temple!"
"Dali Temple? This is possible! Did this person's whole family die in the flames?"
"Yeah! All the information on the case we were working on were all engulfed in flames."
"Then what case is this person from Dali Temple working on?"
Mu Yuan shook her head, "I don't know about that!"
"Does Dali Temple have no other records about this arson case?"
"No more! I think you really want to know, so you should ask the Minister of Dali Temple!"
Li Huaiyun thought to himself, this must be impossible to ask! After all, this file has been torn up, why do you want them to tell you this? Totally impossible. "
"Forget it! I'll ask Sikyong myself some time!"
"Well!" Mu Yuan looked at the files on the table, "What else have you thought about my mother's case?"
Li Huaiyun crossed his arms over his chest and thought for a moment, "It's really hard to say about this case. Judging from the situation in the files, the possibility of suicide is very high."
Mu Yuan turned her head away, unable to accept this speculation, "Impossible! I don't believe that my mother will commit suicide! She is not the kind of sad and sentimental person!"
"Actually, this has nothing to do with personality! Maybe it's because of some mental illness, that's why it happens!" Li Huaiyun said. According to the situation written in the Dali Temple files, it was most likely that he fell into the lake unconsciously.
"The most confusing thing about the contents of this dossier is the smell and the low sound!"
Mu Yuan nodded in agreement, "Yes!"
"According to my previous speculation, if the odor and low moaning came from the locust tree, it should have been there when your mother fell into the lake. Otherwise, after the accident in the palace, there would be no one Can hide corpses in tree trunks!”
Li Huaiyun rubbed his chin gently, "The puzzling thing is..."
Mu Yuan continued what he said, "The Ministry of Punishment has no record of this!"
"You found out too!"
"Did they not pay attention?"
Li Huaiyun shook his head, "That's not the case. If my guess is correct, it is most likely a very simple reason."
