Beizhuguo left. Not long after Su Mufeng left the inn, Beizhuguo quietly left Handu City as quickly as possible, as if he had never come back.
Su Mufeng found Song Yue again. Song Yue didn't ask Su Mufeng about the North Pillar Kingdom, and Su Mufeng didn't mention it either. The two of them had a surprisingly tacit understanding.
"Young Master, I have gone down as you arranged." Song Yue said solemnly: "I also went to the palace to find out from Manager Liu before that Jin Luanwei did not behave abnormally in the palace."
"Well, you are indeed vigilant." Su Mufeng nodded: "In this case, you can do one more thing now."
"Master, please give me your instructions." Song Yue said hurriedly.
"You should immediately go to the city guards and select a person who is average-looking, taciturn, and has no characteristics whatsoever among the crowd." Su Mufeng thought for a while and said, "Then give him this piece of paper and let him memorize it. "
As he spoke, Su Mufeng took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which hundreds of words were densely written.
"This is it?" Song Yue took the paper and looked at it, frowning.
"Remember, that person is the secret guard of our Handu City, and he reported these to me." Su Mufeng said, "I will go meet the deputy commander of the Jinluan Guard later, and then take Ye Huan with me When you go to him, he must tell you what is stated here, but you cannot show that he is deliberately memorizing it."
"Okay." Song Yue nodded: "I won't let him memorize this deliberately. Instead, I will find someone to act out a play based on your story and let him see it with his own eyes."
"This is a good idea." Su Mufeng looked at Song Yue in surprise.
Seeing it with one's own eyes is more real than memorizing it, and is less likely to cause problems, but Su Mufeng didn't even think of this.
Soon Song Yue left here to prepare, and Su Mufeng did not go directly to Jinluan Wei, but came to Chunman Building again and had a meal at Uncle Liu's stall.
After eating and drinking, Su Mufeng returned to Chunmanlou again and listened to a few songs before walking leisurely towards the palace.
Back at the palace, Su Mufeng went straight to Hanmei Courtyard and found Ye Huan.
"Master, what can you gain?" Ye Huan said hurriedly when he saw Su Mufeng.
"Yes." Su Mufeng nodded and said in a deep voice: "One of our secret guards sent news. He should have seen the person who killed your young lady."
"What? That's great!" Ye Huan was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly: "Then please catch that man and bring him to justice, sir."
"No." Su Mufeng shook his head and sighed: "It was too dark and there were too many people, so he didn't see the person's face clearly."
"This... damn, what should I do?" Ye Huan said in a deep voice.
"That's why I came to you. I have a plan that may lead to the real murderer, but I need your cooperation." Su Mufeng said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, if you have any instructions, just tell me and I will fully cooperate!" Ye Huan nodded.
"It's not convenient for us to talk about the specifics here." Su Mufeng looked around, and then said in a deep voice: "Come with me, I will take you to meet the secret guard first, and then we will discuss the specific plan together. "
"Oh, okay." Ye Huan nodded.
Then Su Mufeng took Ye Huan out of the palace and found Song Yue, and together they found the "secret guard".
"Sir." The secret guard bowed hurriedly when he saw Su Mufeng, then looked at Song Yue and Ye Huan, frowning slightly.
"It's okay, they are all absolutely trustworthy people." Su Mufeng said, "Tell me again what you reported to me."
"Yes." The secret guard nodded: "The night before yesterday, my subordinates were responsible for the secret investigation of seven streets near Chunman Tower. Yesterday around 9 o'clock, before dawn, I saw someone sneaking through the window of Chunman Tower on the road. Go in."
"Well, I haven't seen the murderer yet." Ye Huan said doubtfully.
"No." Su Mufeng shook his head: "I'm just going to a brothel. Who would jump out of the window? I'm afraid that person is the murderer."
"That's true." Ye Huan looked at the secret guard: "Brother, in this case, which floor window did that person jump into? Let's check with the madam in Chunmanlou to see if we can find that person. ”
"I was a little far away at the time, and the sky was a little dark, so I really couldn't tell the difference clearly." The secret guard shook his head: "But when the man opened the window, I could see him clearly with the light inside. attire."
"Oh? That's fine, what kind of clothes?" Song Yue said hurriedly.
"The businessman is dressed the same as this one." The secret guard looked at Ye Huan and said.
"What do you mean? You said that person is me?" Ye Huan frowned.
"I don't know, I'm just telling you what I saw." The secret guard said.
"Commander Ye, don't get me wrong. Just because he is dressed the same as you doesn't mean it's you." Su Mufeng said solemnly: "But I went to Chunmanlou to ask before, and you were the only one who was wearing similar clothes to you that day, the Jinluan Guards. "
"What do you mean?" Ye Huan frowned: "That person is from our Jinluan Guards!"
"That's right." Su Mufeng nodded: "This is exactly why I asked you for help."
"Actually, I have already made assumptions about this matter before, so I used the excuse of Chungui Inn to imprison you in the palace. The purpose is to prevent the real murderer from escaping."
"What do you mean? You had already suspected us before the incident at Chungui Inn?" Ye Huan was stunned.
"That's right." Su Mufeng nodded: "After all, this matter is too obvious."
"Obviously?" Ye Huan became even more confused.
"That's right." Su Mufeng said, "Don't you still remember what I told you in Chunman Tower?"
"Yes." Ye Huan nodded: "My lady left because she couldn't stand the environment, and she didn't want to tell us because she was too proud."
"That's right. But there are still a few issues I haven't mentioned." Su Mufeng pondered for a moment and said, "First, if the murderer lives in Chunman Building, for safety reasons, the body should be thrown farther away. Why did you choose to be in the yard next to Chunman Building? In order to escape back to Chunman Building as soon as possible after committing the crime? This reason is too ridiculous."
"So, there is only one possibility. The murderer is not familiar with the environment in Handu City. Instead of taking the risk of taking your lady to find another place far away, it is safer to be close by."
"But you hadn't met the secret guard at that time, how did you know that the murderer lived in Chunman Building?" Ye Huan asked doubtfully.
"There are many pedestrians on the New Clothes Festival road, and there are twice as many patrol soldiers as usual. Even petty thefts will not be carried out easily, let alone this kind of case." Su Mufeng explained: "When I see a woman, I suddenly take action. To attack him is to seek death, so the murderer must have premeditated it."
"Besides, under normal circumstances, your young lady would wander around after leaving Chunman Building instead of going to a small courtyard with no one around. The murderer knocked your young lady out somewhere else and then brought her here to Chunman House. It’s also impossible to fill the small courtyard next to the building.”
"This means that your young lady just left Chunman Building, and when she passed by the courtyard next door, she was knocked unconscious and brought in."
"In other words, your young lady has long been the target of the murderer. And since I guessed that your young lady cannot bear the environment in Chunmanlou, that person must have also guessed it, knowing that your young lady will definitely leave. In this case, In order to better understand the dynamics of your young lady, we should attack your young lady in time. The murderer must have been in Chunman Building at that time. Only in this way can we fully grasp when your young lady will leave."
"Then, why is it our Jinluan Guard?" Ye Huan asked curiously.
"There were a lot of people yesterday. If someone had an argument or screamed, it would definitely attract the attention of others. And your lady is in a different place and is alone, so she must be very vigilant."
"Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to knock a very alert person unconscious before he has a chance to scream."
"So, your young lady must be familiar with this person, so she won't be defensive."
"But this is Handu City. Even if your lady meets an acquaintance by chance, she won't completely let down her guard, unless that person is the person who has been following her."
"That's you, Jinluanwei!"
