Li Huaiyun said helplessly, "Yes! There are no useful clues at the moment."
Emperor Zhou Sheng frowned with a serious look on his face. He was really surprised by such a thing. Nothing like this had ever happened before.
"I never imagined that there would be such a terrifying monster in the sewers of the palace,"
He pondered for a moment, "But why didn't those monsters appear when the people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment went to the sewers to investigate the case?"
Li Huaiyun was not clear about this. The main reason was that the situation was too urgent and it was difficult for him to think about it so much. "Based on my speculation, those monsters may need a certain environment to revive."
Emperor Zhou Sheng asked, "What is the environment?"
Li Huaiyun spread his hands, "Well... I don't have a clue for the moment. Those monsters appeared so suddenly that I was at a loss. Mu Yuan, I, and the people from the Criminal Department also managed to escape with great difficulty." "
Emperor Zhou Sheng looked at Mu Yuan and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"
"How about I just look at it! Stop following the investigation. How can I explain to your mother if something happens to you?"
"Don't worry," Mu Yuan turned away, "Compared to this, I hope to kill the murderer who killed my mother with a knife."
Emperor Zhou Sheng had nothing to do about this, "Then I will send someone to inform Sikyong now and ask the Demon Slayer Division to send more people down."
Li Huaiyun suggested, "In this regard, I still think, don't send people from the Demon Slayer Division yet! Just let people guard the exit of the sewer!"
Emperor Zhou Sheng was a little puzzled, "Ah! But if those monsters escape, what should we do?"
"No, I believe they won't come out. If they did, they would have caused trouble in the palace long ago. We still have to wait for us to investigate again!"
"What you say makes sense."
Compared with this, Li Huaiyun wanted to know another thing more, "Your Majesty, I have another question that I would like to ask. I hope your Majesty can tell me."
"Say! As long as I know something, I will definitely tell it."
"It's about something sealed in this sewer."
A trace of surprise appeared on Emperor Zhou Sheng's face, "Wait a minute, what did you say? There is something sealed in the sewer?"
"what?"
"Your Majesty, don't you know?"
"Yeah! Please elaborate."
Li Huaiyun looked at Emperor Zhou Sheng's surprised look. It didn't look like he was pretending. It shouldn't be. When the emperor came to power, I remember that the palace had been overhauled! Logically speaking, you should know.
He cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty! After you ascended the throne, you carried out major renovations to the palace. Didn't you notice this?"
Emperor Zhou Sheng raised his head slightly and pondered for a moment, "Although the palace was undergoing major repairs at that time! But the drainage in the palace has always been relatively normal, and the treasury was tight, so there was no intention of repairs."
He had some regrets, "Perhaps after the repairs were made, the problem could be discovered, but unfortunately, it is too late now!"
"That's right! What exactly are you talking about?"
Li Huaiyun responded, "In a rock wall in the sewer, there is a place sealed by a talisman paper. Judging from the location of the talisman paper, there should be an instrument sealed in the rock wall. Judging from the condition of the talisman paper, It seems that it must be a murder weapon."
"The murder weapon! Is it sealed in the palace?"
"Yes!"
Emperor Zhou Sheng looked gloomy. This kind of thing is not equivalent to putting evil things in his home, which will affect the feng shui fortune. If someone who is not good appears, this will make the feng shui fortune even worse.
"Who on earth is doing this to cut off his descendants? Fortunately, my luck is strong enough so I won't be affected by it!"
Li Huaiyun said, "I hope the emperor can check, when was the last time the sewers were repaired?"
"The age is too far away. It was the period of the Supreme Emperor. It has been twenty or thirty years ago."
Li Huaiyun begged, "Your Majesty, we must investigate no matter how far away the time is!"
"I would like to ask if it is possible that they are latecomers and sneak into the underground!"
"It's possible, but that would also come from the other direction. With the guards in the palace and the people from the Demon Slayer Division, it's basically impossible for anyone to enter from the front."
"What you said makes sense! Apart from this, are there any other requirements?"
"If possible, I hope someone can come with me and capture that monster alive."
Emperor Zhou Sheng's heart tightened, "Sikyong is not here. If you don't wait for him to come to the palace, talk to him again. You are the best at catching monsters."
Mu Yuan also persuaded, "Yes! This matter is not urgent, why not wait until the old man comes."
"I'm afraid of missing this opportunity!"
Everyone was a little puzzled by this and didn't understand what Li Huaiyun meant.
"Is it possible that you are still afraid of some monsters escaping?"
Li Huaiyun nodded and explained, "Yes, I think the appearance of the monster this time is purely accidental. It must be some kind of behavior that caused it to suddenly appear."
Mu Yuan asked, "Why do you say that? I feel that these monsters have a premeditated plan, otherwise..."
"No, you are wrong. If it is really premeditated, you and Wang Ziqian will never be able to deal with the dark environment and the sharp speed of the monster. Their behavior looks like, and if they are driven away like that, there will be no harm at all. The idea of a place of death.”
"How do you know there isn't one?"
Li Huaiyun sneered, "None of the wounds on that guy's body were fatal, and he was from the Criminal Department, so I judge that those monsters just want to be driven away."
"If he really wanted to kill him, I guess his neck would have been broken long ago!" He pointed at Mu Yuan's arms, "Including your arms."
"Why don't those monsters just surround us and do the same as those corpses in the ditch!"
"This is the clever thing. It's better to keep us alive than to let us die. After all, after death, the emperor can't just sit back and watch!"
"If we feel dangerous, if we guard the entrance gate, they will be safe in the sewer."
Emperor Zhou Sheng glanced at Li Huaiyun with his sharp eyes. This guy was definitely not simple. He thought far ahead and analyzed well.
Would it be a bit of a waste for such a person to be in the Demon Slayer Division? I would like to ask Sikyong if he is willing to bear the pain and let him work in the imperial court.
"In that case, wouldn't it be better to wait for Sikyong?"
"It would be better to catch one and study it first. Maybe we can learn something from it to facilitate subsequent control."
Li Huaiyun looked at Mu Yuan, "Based on the monster's basic actions, you need to make a trap. After all, you have had some battles with them. You should know the basic situation of the monster. Based on this, you should arrest it." It’s your specialty!”
Mu Yuan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and slender arms, "You're right, that's totally fine."
When Emperor Zhou Sheng saw his daughter, he showed his arms without considering the situation around her, which really made him uncomfortable.
However, as soon as he said a few words, Mu Yuan retorted. She hated the idea of restricting a woman's freedom. This body was her own. She had her own freedom to reveal whatever she wanted. No one else needed to say anything.
Li Huaiyun glanced at Mu Yuan, vaguely wondering whether this woman would become a leader in promoting the women's liberation movement in the future, right?
"Okay!" Emperor Zhou Sheng said, "I'll leave it to you! If you need help, just ask someone to send me a message, and I will definitely meet your request!"
Li Huaiyun bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty! I will find the mastermind behind this case."
Mu Yuan stood aside and asked softly, "Where should we go to make a trap?"
"The armory, of course, there's a lot of all kinds of materials we need."
Li Huaiyun said to Emperor Zhou Sheng, "Your Majesty, I and the Fourteenth Princess want to go into the armory and select suitable items to make arresting props."
"This place!" Emperor Zhou Sheng frowned. That place was an absolute hub for military aircraft, and it was also related to the safety of the imperial city. Therefore, the emperor had given an oral order, and ordinary people could not go to this place at all.
"The guards are quite strict! I'm afraid you won't be able to get in." He was actually a little worried in his heart. After all, it was a place where big things could easily happen if you were not careful.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! My subordinates will investigate this case thoroughly."
Emperor Zhou Sheng spread out a piece of paper, then wrote on the paper, and then stamped it with a special seal, "Then this handwriting can be used throughout the palace."
Li Huaiyun bowed his body and strolled forward, then took the imperial edict from the emperor's hand, saluted and thanked him again, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He left the house with Mu Yuan and was led by the guards to the armory in the palace.
On the road, Mu Yuan and Li Huaiyun walked side by side. She asked, "Do you have an idea now?"
"What idea?"
"That's how to catch the monster."
Li Huaiyun glanced at her, "Wait a minute, isn't this your job? Didn't I praise you just now..."
"Praise me! Don't you even have to think about it? I don't have a clue right now!" Mu Yuan looked embarrassed. To be honest, she was responsible for making equipment in the Demon Slayer Division, but those were for external use. Monsters, it’s up to you to return them. "
Li Huaiyun thought for a while, "Do you really have no idea at all?"
"I have never touched a young man who I can't even keep up with, so I asked you to think about it carefully."
"That monster attacks very quickly, and its body is unusually strong and powerful! If we really want to catch it, it will take at least ten people. Otherwise, we will go directly to the challenge and tell everyone that this situation is really not good. That’s great to say.
Mu Yuan felt quite troubled by this. If the trap was small, he might not be able to withstand it. If it was big, he might not be able to resist it at all.
"How about getting a bear trap!"
Li Huaiyun shook his head slightly, "This is definitely not good, it is too simple. When they come up, they will only say a simple sentence.
Mu Yuan said, "If this is the case, then add something to the animal trap, so that the capture effect can be achieved!"
"No!" Li Huaiyun shook his head, "This still doesn't work."
"Then what should we do? I have thought of everything I can think of. If I really want to put something into the beast, then I..."
Li Huaiyun sighed, thinking that this woman's brain was still a bit dead, "We don't have to think about everything with a fishing mentality."
"And I want to catch him in other ways!"
Mu Yuan clicked his tongue twice? "Is there any other way?"
"Since you have used the items in the bag before, you can try to change the items inside! For example, the exploding ball,"
"How to change that thing?"
"Instead of exploding, change it to a strong net!"
When Mu Yuan heard this opinion, she immediately thought of the rough design and what it would be like. She glanced secretly, Li Huaiyun, this guy's mind is spinning really fast!
"I understand!" She nodded, knowing what she was going to do!
