From eunuch to emperor

Long Chen arrived at Mo's house on horseback, Bai Anning and Shen Tianhe had already arrived, and the police quickly sealed off the surrounding area.

"Where's Momei?"

Long Chen dismounted and asked.

Seeing Long Chen approaching, the people who watched the excitement all around privately pointed and pointed, but Long Chen didn't bother to pay attention.

Bai Anning came over immediately and said, "Dead, burnt to black, we can confirm her identity, it's her."

Last night, Mo's house suddenly caught fire, and Mo Mei was burned to death.

"Is there anyone alive?"

Long Chen asked.

Shen Tianhe said: "There is only one servant, where is it?"

Long Chen turned his head and looked over, it was the boy who opened the door last night.

This boy was wrapped in an adult's clothes, and his feet were also adult's shoes, which were obviously given to him by Shen Tianhe.

"have you eaten?"

Long Chen squatted down, and wiped off the dark matter on the boy's face.

Looking at the house that had been burned to ashes, the servant shook his head in a daze, and then nodded in a daze.

Long Chen knew it was because of being overly frightened.

Pulling the boy to sit down at the breakfast shop on the side of the street, Long Chen ordered two bowls of mutton noodle soup.

When the boss saw Long Chen, his expression was a little ugly, and he immediately made two bowls and brought them over.

Seeing Long Chen, the guests next to him dropped their copper coins and left.

Long Chen picked up the chopsticks to eat the noodles, and said, "Eat, it won't be cold when you're full."

The boy stiffly picked up the chopsticks, regardless of whether they were hot or not, he picked up the noodles and put them in his mouth.

After eating the noodles and drinking the soup, the servant's expression improved a lot.

Long Chen put down his chopsticks and asked, "What happened last night?"

The boy replied: "When I got up to pee at night, I saw Mrs. Mo's room was on fire. I yelled, "It's on fire, it's on fire, but no one paid attention to me, they were all burned to death."

Long Chen asked: "Are they all asleep? Why is no one paying attention to you?"

The boy shook his head and said, "I don't know, I sleep in the woodshed."

Long Chen asked again: "Did you see anyone?"

The boy still shook his head.

As soon as Long Chen found out about Mo Mei, he was murdered and silenced. This shows that Long Chen's investigation was correct. Those women's information came from Mo Mei, and the murderer was destroying the clues.

"Is everyone in the house dead?"

Long Chen asked.

The boy shook his head and said, "I don't know."

This answer is also normal, the scene is still being cleaned up, and many people have been burnt beyond recognition, and the servants can't recognize them.

"How long have you been with Aunt Mo?"

The boy calculated the time and said, "About three years."

Long Chen asked: "In the past three years, has anyone had a good relationship with her, and then left recently?"

The servant thought for a while and said, "There is an older sister who learned how to deliver babies with Mrs. Mo, and she left a while ago."

Long Chen asked: "Where did you go?"

The boy shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just heard Mrs. Mo say that she seems to have entered the palace."

Entered the palace?

"Can you remember what she looks like?"

The servant immediately said: "Yes, she is very beautiful, but she is beautiful."

Long Chen immediately found Shen Tianhe and asked him to find the painter from the yamen.

The criminal department has professional painters who can draw images of wanted criminals.

Not long after, the painter came and drew a picture according to the boy's description.

"Bai Yushi, please entrust this child to you. I'll go and find out if this woman is in the palace."

Bai Anning said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will take care of it."

Long Chen immediately returned to the palace with the portrait.

When he arrived at Qiuxing Palace, Long Chen brought Xiang Ning, Xiao'e, and Xiao Daiyu over.

"Do you know this person?"

Long Chen spread the portrait on the desk.

Xiao'e recognized the person in the portrait at a glance, and said, "Isn't this Nangong's Shuangshuang?"

Xiao Daiyu identified it carefully and said, "Yes, it is Shuangshuang!"

Xiang Ning also recognized it, and asked, "My lord, why are you painting Shuangshuang's portrait? You don't know... you like her?"

Long Chen didn't have time to joke, and asked: "Are you sure?"

The three nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, it's Shuangshuang!"

Long Chen immediately collected the portrait, and immediately went to Nangong.

When they arrived at the door, they met Shangguan Xue head-on.

"General Long, why do you come to us when you have time?"

Shangguan Xue looked at Long Chen with strange eyes.

The body of the Nangong palace lady was dug up at Long Chen's place, Shangguanxue must have some opinions.

"I have something important to do, and I want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Shangguan Xue couldn't evade, and said: "General, wait a moment, let me report."

Not long after, Shangguan Xue came out and said, "The princess is here."

Long Chen followed Shangguan Xue into Di Xingwan's room, she was painting, and Tian Ze was by her side.

"I have seen the princess."

Long Chen saluted.

When Di Xingwan saw Long Chen, he laughed and said, "How come General Long came to my Nangong without time?"

Long Chen said with a smile: "I've always wanted to come, but I just don't have time."

Di Xingwan put down his paintbrush and said with a sweet smile, "Is it the fourth sister who refuses to let me?"

Long Chen smiled awkwardly, but did not answer this question.

Tian Ze next to him always had a smile on his face, and greeted Long Chen very politely.

"You came to me today, what's the matter?"

Di Xingwan restrained his smile and started talking about business.

The maid in her palace died in Qiuxing Palace, Di Xingwan hadn't told Long Chen about this matter yet.

Although Di Xingwan didn't believe that Long Chen was the murderer, but his maid died in Long Chen's courtyard, he had to seek an explanation for this matter, otherwise he would not be able to give an explanation to his servants.

"There is indeed something that needs the princess's help."

Long Chen took out the portrait and said, "I'm assisting the Metropolitan Procuratorate in thoroughly investigating the case of the flower-picking demon. This Shuangshuang is an important witness, and she's here with the princess. I want to meet her."

Tian Ze's face changed slightly, but he calmed down immediately.

Di Xingwan asked: "You mean, the murderer is this Shuangshuang?"

Long Chen told the truth: "There is a serious suspicion, but I'm not sure, I won't know until after the interrogation."

Di Xingwan's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Bring her here!"

Li Tianze wanted to go out, but was stopped by Di Xingwan's gaze.

Shangguan Xue immediately went out to find someone.

Not long after, a pretty maid came in and said: "My servant pays homage to Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency."

Long Chen looked at this Shuangshuang carefully, almond-eyed and peach-cheeked, she was indeed a beauty, no wonder the boy said she was beautiful.

Everyone in the room retreated, leaving only Di Xingwan and Long Chen, not even Li Tianze.

"Shuangshuang, General Long wants to ask you something, and you must answer it truthfully."

Di Xingwan's voice was cold and severe.

Shuangshuang hastily knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't know what mistake I made, my princess, please learn from me."

Di Xingwan looked at Long Chen, indicating that Long Chen would interrogate him.

Long Chen nodded, and asked: "Have you ever studied art with Mo Mei, a steady woman from the north of the city?"

Shuangshuang's tender body trembled, and she replied: "Yes..."

Long Chen continued to ask: "Have you read Granny Wen's birthday brochure?"

Shuangshuang's body trembled and she didn't dare to answer.

Di Xingwan scolded angrily: "The lowly servant girl dares to speak hard and say it!"

Shuangshuang knelt on the ground, prostrating her body, shrinking into a little white rabbit, trembling all over, but she just didn't speak.

Di Xingwan was furious: "The lowly maidservant really has a problem! How dare you commit murder under the eyes of this princess! General Long, I'll leave this girl to you!"

Long Chen nodded, and said: "Thank you Princess for trusting me, but this matter has a lot to do with it, I still ask the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to secretly bring someone into the palace, my current status is not suitable."

It's better to do official business, Long Chen is also a suspect, it's inappropriate for him to take Shuang Shuang away.

Di Xingwan sighed slightly, a few days ago Di Luoxi's bedroom entered the yamen, and now her bedroom is also like this, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Forget it, let the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishments come to pick him up."

Di Xingwan shouted: "Xue'er!"

Shangguan Xue pushed the door open and came in, and said: "Princess."

Di Xingwan said reluctantly: "Go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and inform Bai Yushi, and let him come in to pick him up."

Shangguan Xue's heart skipped a beat. Although she was mentally prepared just now, if she really wanted to take Shuangshuang away, the matter would be serious.

"Yes!"

Shangguanxue turned to leave, but Shuangshuang beside her suddenly fell to the ground, with black blood flowing from her mouth and nose.

"Princess be careful!"

Shangguan Xuehu stood in front of Di Xingwan.

Long Chen leaned over to check, and found that Shuangshuang committed suicide by taking poison.

Li Tianze and his gang rushed in, shouting, "Come on, there are assassins!"

The palace quickly exploded, and everyone said that Shuangshuang was the murderer, she killed Ruyan and the others, and she also killed the people outside the palace.

People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment also came. They had to come because Shuangshuang was involved in the case of the flower-picking demon.

The body was transported to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for autopsy, and Shuangshuang's cause of death was poisoning.

This girl already had poison in her mouth when she entered the door, and she knew that things would be revealed.

After searching for so long, I finally found an important clue related to the murderer, but unfortunately it was broken again.

In the back office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Long Chen sat in the room and continued to read the files, while Bai Anning came in from the outside.

"General Long, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Bai Yushi, please tell me!"

Bai Anning hesitated, but said it anyway.
