"Since it seems that I have already said this, I can't continue to refuse. Since this is the case, I hope that the emperor can ask everyone in the palace to cooperate with me during this period, so that I can successfully find out the truth of this matter. , I can be considered as making a contribution to the palace."
Even if Shen Qianshan agreed, for him, it was equivalent to being able to place his own people in the palace. Although Shen Zhongbai's wishful thinking was a good one, in the end, he couldn't do it for him in vain. You must have your own arrangements for doing this.
Shen Qianshan returned to Lingyin Pavilion and told everyone about his upcoming attack on the case. Although Gu Qiang was a little worried, she didn't say much. This matter was not an ordinary situation. Of course she would be worried. This time It will not be a play directed and performed by Shen Zhongbai.
He has done such crazy things before, no one can say whether he directed or acted.
"It's an opportunity for me to enter the palace. Maybe I can take this opportunity to handle all these things and place my people in the palace."
Shen Qianshan had to agree to this matter. After all, he was in a dilemma. If he could not refuse no matter what the situation, he could only find something that he could use from this matter. Only in this way, this matter It's not a loss if you say the matter yourself.
"Then you have to be careful. I always feel that he is well prepared this time."
Gusu Liang also felt that this matter was a bit unreliable. If it was normal, forget it. But when everyone was so nervous, Shen Zhongbai suddenly showed up like this. Who else could bear it
"Not necessarily. Maybe he originally wanted to solve the situation in the palace quickly, so he wanted to find you to help in a panic." Chu Tiankuo had different ideas from the others. I think this may be a good opportunity. If even Shen Qianshan thinks this is not a very bad thing, they actually don't need to be so concerned and worried.
Shen Qianshan's thoughts were actually not much different from Chu Tiankuo's, so this time, he decided to really give it a try.
The murder case in the palace has something to do with him. If he has the opportunity, he might be able to find out all the situations in the palace.
The first step in investigating the case is naturally to see the three people who have died.
Although Gu Qiang still felt that it was a bit unreliable, she still did not stop him after all.
Because Shen Qianshan's identity is here, even if he enters the palace, he cannot bring anyone with him. This does make Shen Qianshan a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, he is in the palace and the matter has not been settled yet. Before, Shen Zhongbai probably wouldn't do anything to himself.
In order to prevent panic in the palace, Shen Zhongbai minimized the impact of this incident as much as possible. Because of this, he gathered all the dead people into this room, waiting to see what happened. Only when the time comes can we find out the truth, but in fact, he hasn't even read it once.
He just returned all the blame to Zhou Ziyuan, but Shen Zhongbai still aimed to solve this matter, so he specially arranged for Zhou Ziyuan to help. Shen Qianshan didn't know everything, at least he was still there. Next to it, you can help yourself see if there is anything you missed.
"Did the Emperor order everyone to stop here?"
If Shen Qianshan remembered correctly, this place seemed to be a cold palace.
Zhou Ziyuan was a little embarrassed after hearing his question, "My lord, you are condescending. This place is indeed a cold palace, but it is just to keep this matter secret. Before getting the truth, the emperor does not want anyone to know anything about this matter." news of the matter.”
Zhou Ziyuan actually felt that this approach was unreasonable. In fact, everyone in the palace knew what happened. He had done so many investigations in the palace before, and even a fool knew that it was because of this incident. , but Shen Zhongbai still wants to do this kind of deceitful thing.
But after all, he was just a scary man who couldn't talk about his master. He could only do his own things that were arranged by Shen Zhongbai honestly.
"Then let's go in first. It's been so many days since the money happened. I guess the body..."
Shen Qianshan was mentally prepared before entering, reflecting that the boss was reluctant to go in after a while. However, it had been seven or eight days since this happened, and the body must have started to fester no matter how well preserved it was. If this is really the case, I probably won't be able to find any clues.
This was actually the first time Zhou Ziyuan came to see the corpse. Before this, he had been following Shen Zhongbai's instructions to investigate the people in the palace, so he had never had the chance to come.
As he opened the door and walked in, Zhou Ziyuan's expression suddenly changed. Shen Qianshan, who was following him, also felt something was not right, so he followed him and came back.
After Shen Qianshan entered the house, what he smelled was not the smell of rotting corpses, but a strange smell that he couldn't explain, and even felt a bit like spices.
There were three murder cases in the palace. Two of them had very calm facial expressions, but the other one was different. He still had a ferocious expression on his face. It could be seen that he should have resisted, but in the end he did not No resistance succeeded.
This is strange. These three people are all guards in the palace. According to common sense, if they really want to take action, they will not have their hearts taken out unprepared. How could it be so easy? Was he killed? After thinking about it, I still feel that something is not right about this matter. Shen Qianshan also feels that this matter should not be that simple.
Moreover, I always felt like I had seen the weird aroma in this room somewhere, as if it was right next to me. However, because I didn’t usually use incense, I couldn’t remember where I had smelled it. The taste is really strange.
He looked back at Zhou Ziyuan beside him, "Do you know what this smells like?"
"I have already investigated the source of the smell. Although I have found spices with a similar taste, if I continue to investigate, there are no other clues worth using."
Zhou Ziyuan also found the spice by mistake at that time, but it was actually where the three people were found. However, among the concubines in the palace, everyone had different spices in their dreams, and the emperor did not allow him to go there. Check, there is indeed no way.
Zhou Ziyuan took out a small piece of incense from himself, which he had secretly hidden.
"This is it. I found it in one of the places. But I have never been here before. I just suspected that there was something wrong with this piece of spice, so I hid it secretly."
Shen Qianshan didn't know much about these things, so he could only go back with this necklace. There were almost no unnecessary scars on the bodies of these three people. The person who did it was definitely stable and accurate. If this was really the case, It's even more complicated when you investigate this matter yourself, because the other party didn't leave any traces on it at all.
After returning to Lingyin Pavilion, Shen Qianshan quickly took out the things. After all, this was the only clue now.
"If you smell this, do you think it's familiar?"
Shen Qianshan couldn't describe what he smelled in the palace. In comparison, Gu Qiang must have more experience than him in this aspect of spices, but with the identity of 0 here, he You can't take her into the palace with you.
Shen Zhongbai has always been eyeing it. If he found an opportunity, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his troops
Gu Qiang smelled it carefully, and after thinking about it for a while, she also tilted her head, "Isn't this the kind of requiem that the girls in Yuhua Tower often use?"
Gu Qiang often goes out to Ruyuhualou, so she knows a lot about this kind of fragrance, but she has become more or less accustomed to it. If she doesn't think about it carefully, she still can't remember it for a while.
"Is there anything special? How is this different from the spices used by the concubines in the palace?"
Shen Qianshan felt that this spice must be special. Otherwise, why would everyone exude this smell
"It's nothing special. The girls in Yuhua Tower often use this kind of incense, but if I remember correctly, the raw material of this incense seems to be poisonous."
Gu Qiang knew that Shen Qianshan had just come out of the palace, so there must be some clues. However, this incense was so common. At most, it could only be said that the noble concubines in the palace would not use this ordinary fragrance. There doesn’t seem to be much else about the spices.
"Poisonous? What kind of poison?"
"It just makes people mentally paralyzed and temporarily incapacitated. However, this plant has been processed before being made into spices. This fragrance is not poisonous."
"Then what does this spice do?"
Gu Qiang was also curious about this kind of incense before, because the smell of this kind of incense is indeed very comfortable, so she went to check it out in the book, "It's actually an ordinary spice. The girls in Yuhualou They come out during the day and night. It’s inevitable that I can’t sleep during the day, so I smoke this kind of incense in the house.”
In this way, she could sleep even during the day. Gu Qiang actually used it secretly, but this spice was really not very useful to her.
"It does smell pretty good, but the effects vary from person to person, so not everyone may have such a big reaction."
