Opening Six Maids

Chapter 185: One less person!

Chuci came out from the prison of Dali Temple and went directly to meet the Qing Di Gongming of Dali Temple.

At this moment, Di Gongming was sitting in the government affairs hall, looking through the thick file on the desk.

Hearing his subordinates reporting the arrival of Chuci, Di Gongming put down the dossier and said, "Let him come in."

Chuci was taken into the government affairs hall by the guards, and said to Di Gongming, "Master Di, on the order of your majesty, come to assist the adults in investigating the case."

Di Gongming was startled when he heard the words, then nodded and said, "Since it is your Majesty's life, then I will trouble Master Chu."

Chu Ci looked at the file in front of Di Gongming and asked aloud, "Master Di, how is the investigation going?"

Di Gongming handed the file in his hand to Chu Ci, and said in a deep voice, "This case is very involved!"

Chu Ci took the file and looked through it carefully.

The dossier records the details of those killed in the murder case in the Panyang Palace.

In addition to a portrait, it also includes the name, identity, interpersonal relationship, and the cause of death, the size, direction, and depth of the throat wound.

Chuci looked at it and found 138 mouths of Panyang Palace.

From the king Panyang, the princess, and the eldest son to the servants and servants, they were all killed.

They were all swords in their throats, killing them instantly!

"There seems to be something wrong..."

Chu Ci put down the dossier, frowned slightly in thought.

Di Gongming looked at Chu Ci and didn't bother.

The next second, Chu Ci's eyes suddenly lit up.

Picked up the dossier and looked through it again.

After a while, Chu Ci read the dossier again, raised his eyes and asked Di Gongming, "Master Di, are all the people in the Panyang Palace dead?"

When Di Gongming heard the words, stroked his beard and muttered, "The dead have been recorded."

Looking at Chu Ci, Di Gongming asked, "Master Chu, did you find something?"

Chu Ci pointed to the file and said in a deep voice, "There are not enough people on this!"

"At least one less person!"

Di Gongming sat up slightly and asked, "Master Chu knows the people in the palace?"

Chu Ci raised a finger and said, "I have only seen one person, but he is not on the file record, indicating that he is not dead!"

Upon hearing this, Di Gongming hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Chuci said aloud, "Little servant is coming!"

"Laifu..." Di Gongming murmured and repeated, and then asked, "When did Master Chu have seen this Laifu?"

Chu Ci recalled, "I was patrolling the night some time ago when I ran into him coming out of the Panyang Palace."

"It is said that the son is seriously ill and needs to be treated by a doctor."

Di Gongming continued to ask, "Master Chu remembers what Laifu looked like?"

Chuci described, "At that time, he was wearing a robe, because he was infected with the cold and coughed and covered his mouth and nose with his hands. I only saw the upper half of his face, but I haven't seen the whole picture."

"But he has one characteristic." Chu Ci added, "His face is thin and his eyebrows are sparse and almost nothing!"

Di Gongming heard the words and struck his beard and said, "In that case, there is really no him on this dossier!"

Di Gongming looked through the dossier no less than three times, and was naturally adept at the content recorded on it.

After hearing the description of Chuci, Di Gongming also determined that there was no Laifu corpse in the murder case in the Panyang Palace.

"Are you leaving the house?"

"Or escaped from the palace when the murder happened?"

"Or...this is the real culprit?"

The thoughts in Di Gongming's mind rolled over, flashing through several possible situations.

"Master Di?"

Chu Ci looked at Di Gongming in thought and said, "And the scars on the corpse are a bit strange."

Di Gongming nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said, "So Master Chu can see it too?"

"No wonder your Majesty will order you to assist in investigating the case."

Di Gongming pointed to the wounds of the corpse recorded on the file and said, "The wounds on the corpse are all sword wounds, and the wounds are wide and deep."

"The sword mark is low on the left and high on the right, shallow on the left and deep on the right."

After pondering for a moment, Di Gongming continued, "This proves that the murder weapon used by the murderer is a straight sword, and he prefers to use his left hand!"

A smile appeared on Chu Ci's face and said aloud, "If the murderer was Gongsun Luluo, the sword marks on the corpse would be completely different."

"The wound should be narrow and shallow, piercing the large blood vessels on both sides of the neck!"

Di Gongming nodded slightly and said in agreement, "There is no murder weapon left in the palace."

"Judging from the current evidence, this official has ruled out the suspicion of Gongsun girl."

Looking at Chuci, Di Gongming said with a smile, "Girl Gongsun can be released from prison, but she can't leave yet and needs assistance in investigating the case."

Di Gongming greeted the guards and ordered Gongsun Luluo to be released and brought.

Soon, Gongsun Luluo walked into the government affairs hall.

Seeing Chu Ci, Gongsun Luluo folded his hands and smiled, "Master Chu, I didn't expect to meet again so soon!"

Chuci chuckled softly when he heard the words, and said, "Miss Gongsun, it has been determined that you are not the murderer of the Panyang Palace."

"But because you are a witness to the homicide case, you still need to stay to assist in investigating the case, so you can't leave for the time being."

Gongsun Luluo nodded and said casually, "It's okay."

After speaking, Gongsun Luluo looked at Di Gongming, "But can you return my weapon to me first?"

Di Gongming chuckled lightly and motioned to the officer to fetch Gongsun Luluo's weapon.

The guard quickly brought a wooden box.

Gongsun Luluo opened the wooden box and placed his soft sword in it.

The probe grabbed the soft sword, Gongsun Luluo's wrist shook.

Huh!

In the next second, the soft sword disappeared in Gongsun Luluo's hands.

Chu Ci retracted his gaze from Gongsun Luluo, looked at Di Gongming and said, "Master Di, I just visited Girl Gongsun in prison and heard Girl Gongsun mention a clue."

"Oh?" Di Gongming immediately became interested when he heard it, and asked, "What clue?"

Chu Ci said aloud, "Before King Pan Yang died, he exclaimed, ‘It’s you?!’"

"Girl Gongsun said that King Pan Yang's tone was very surprised and angry!"
