There was a sudden silence in the public hall, and the room full of people seemed to be choked by the neck at the same time.

The hall had changed its appearance, it was messy, the small beds were stacked on the bookcase, and the places where the beds were originally placed were covered with thin mattresses.

In the middle of the night, they were picked up and moved, and the officials were not very energetic, their faces were tired, their clothes were disheveled, and they didn't care about any face, so they stood crookedly and saluted.

Jiang Shen's back was straight, his clothes were neatly arranged, and he frowned at the laziness of these people.

Han Changwan and Yao Qi didn't care so much, they glanced at each other when they entered the door, and after entering the public hall, one looked to the left and the other to the right, scrutinizing these people.

Everyone knew that Jiang Shen had just been attacked and was injured, but he could still be so unhurried, neatly described, and he had not been depressed after being injured at all, and they were all a little weak-hearted, and they were busy lowering their heads and tidying up their clothes.

After a squirming sound, although everyone's hair was still crooked and scattered, fortunately, their clothes were already neat.

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows, glanced over, raised his eyebrows slightly, did not look back, lowered his voice and said to Yao Qi: "Look, you are wrong, there are few people with ornaments on their belts." ”

Yao Qi pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "They are almost too lazy to wear clothes, and they still wear belts." ”

Han Changdui chuckled and said helplessly: "You." ”

Although he smiled helplessly, he had to admit that Yao Qi was telling the truth.

Except for the day when the curtain was in, these officials usually wore darker clothes in the tribute courtyard, and they would not wear belts with too complicated patterns, at most they would wear a sweat towel of the same color around their waists.

In the Gongyuan, those who wear official uniforms every day and have neat appearances are the only ones in the Beiya Forbidden Army.

Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and Yao Qi, who was speechless: "According to what you see, how is the belt of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army?" ”

Yao Qi tilted his head, thinking about things, his eyes did not forget to look at the people in the hall, and said in a low voice: "That bruise is the size of a fist, but the forbidden army belt is only a piece of jade inlaid with three fingers wide, so it can't cause such a big bruise." ”

Han Changdui twisted his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when he heard Jiang Shen's babbling voice.

He gathered his mind, listening to Jiang Shen's solemn chatter, while thinking about things.

He glanced over, and all the people in the hall were in a hurry, and they only brought their personal belongings, and most of the belongings were still in the room.

His eyes flashed, and he heard Jiang Shen say coldly: "Okay, you will stay in the public office for the time being these days, and we will talk about it after the Internal Security Department clarifies the matter." ”

Everyone said yes in unison, and they didn't dare to say anything.

After leaving the official hall, Jiang Shen looked at Han Changdui deeply, and the spirit that he had just held on suddenly dispersed, and the old man sighed: "Jiuchao, you must find out about this matter, otherwise, this pavilion will not be able to explain to the sage." ”

Han Changdui got up and saluted steadily: "The lower official will definitely not live up to the trust of the elder." ”

The second floor of Mingyuan Building was already empty, and only Meng Sui led a few internal guards to search every room.

Seeing Han Changdui coming over, Meng Suiqi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "My lord." ”

Han Changdui nodded, and said coldly: "Tell the internal guard to search the belt, if the belt."

Whoever has an ornament in the middle, bring it to me. ”

Meng Sui was stunned for a moment, didn't ask more, and hurried over to make arrangements.

Han Changwei randomly picked up a two-person room and sat down to rest and drink tea, waiting for the results of the search by Meng Suiqi and others.

He took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at Yao Qi, was stunned thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "The dead Li Cheng is about five feet and one inch tall, and the bruise is less than half an inch above his waist. ”

Yao Ji compared her height, five feet and one inch is equivalent to about one meter seven in her previous life, the murderer must be taller than the deceased, the position of the murderer's waist is half an inch above the deceased's waist, and the murderer's height is at least about five feet four inches.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Han Changdu, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Xia Guan sees that the murderer's height is about the same as that of an adult." Her gaze moved downwards and landed on Han Changdu's waist, which had a belt on it, which was mediocre and inconspicuous at first glance, but if she looked closely, the fine stitches were embroidered with dark moire, and in the middle was a fist-sized moire jade pendant, which was in excellent condition.

Her eyes flashed, and she smiled narrowly: "It's quite appropriate for the lower officials to look at the adult's belt." ”

Hearing this, Han Changdui looked down at himself, and suddenly laughed, laughing briskly, sweeping away the sorrow of the past few days.

After a few words of gossip, Meng Suiqi and two internal guards entered the door with a bunch of belts.

Han Changdui rarely pays attention to the clothes of others on weekdays, but this time he took a closer look, and sure enough, as Yao Qi said, the hall was full of gold and jade.

He glanced at Yao Qi with a thoughtful smile, and his smile was narrow.

Yao Qi pouted and smiled: "My lord, how is it, is it blind." ”

Han Changdui pursed his lips, and a smile appeared from his eyes.

Meng Suijie and the two internal guards put their belts neatly on the ground, and there was a dazzling array of them.

Han Changdui walked over slowly, staring at each other.

I don't know if it's because the owners of these belts are not of enough grade, or the ministers are not ostentatious and extravagant, although these belts are inlaid with ornaments, but most of them are made of exquisite materials, beautifully carved, but the shape is delicate and small, not only is it not eye-catching, but it will not leave a fist-sized bruise on the person's body.

His face couldn't help but be a little ugly.

It's not the forbidden army, it's not Mingyuan Tower, do you really want to go to check the Shizi one by one?

He tapped his fingers on the bookcase, his gaze like water, sliding over the dazzling belt.

At the same time, there was a light sound in the room, Yao Ji reached out and picked up one of the belts, pointed to the middle of the belt, and said puzzledly: "My lord, do you see if this is a shortcoming?" ”

Han Changdui leaned over and looked down, his face sank.

The two-inch-wide indigo-colored base cloth is embroidered with gold thread with endless landscape patterns, and even the jade buckle in the center is carved into an auspicious cloud pattern.

The belt is new, the stitches and base cloth are new, and there are no signs of washing and ironing.

The jade buckle is huge, and the color looks excellent, but there is a depression in the middle of this auspicious cloud pattern, as if something is missing, it looks bare, and it is very weird.

The depression was exactly half a palm's size.

Han Changdui rubbed the jade buckle and said in a thoughtful voice: "Who belongs to this belt?" ”

Meng Sui took a step forward and said, "I found it in the room of the Jiazi, and I went in with my humble position."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When the belt was thrown on the ground. ”

Han Changdu's face was cold, the room of Jiazi was a four-person room, there were four people living in it, and a belt thrown on the ground, it was indeed unclear where it belonged.

He glanced Meng Sui up and down, and suddenly laughed: "You tie your belt and go to the official hall for a walk." ”

Meng Sui was stunned for a moment, and then understood in an instant, untied the sweat towel around his waist very neatly, and tied the belt that was missing something around his waist.

He is an entourage guard, and his dressing is always simple and convenient, and he will not wear ornaments on his body, and he has a sweat towel on his waist.

After all, the gold and jade are too heavy, affecting the speed and altitude of his flying around.

It was the first time he had ever worn such a generous belt, and he was a little uncomfortable, and even his walking steps became unnatural.

Yao Qi watched from the side and smiled: "Meng Zongqi, step on your left leg first." ”

Meng Sui's face suddenly turned red, glared at Yao Qi, and said stupidly: "I know!" ”

Yao Qi was suddenly overjoyed, and smiled back and forth.

Han Changwan also hooked his lips and smiled.

After a moment of silence, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and two internal guards pushed the door in and saluted in unison.

One of the guards placed a half-foot-long wooden box on the bookcase, bowed and said, "My lord, this box contains a candle with luminous stone powder. ”

The half-foot-long ebony box was not carved, not even painted, and it seemed to be some years old, and it was a little cracked and covered with tiny cracks.

The whole ebony box looks rough in workmanship, but it is the lotus copper buckle on the box, which is a bit ingenious.

Han Changdui nodded and opened the box expressionlessly.

There were three thumb-thick white candles in the box, which looked indistinguishable from ordinary candles, but they were covered with their hands above the box to block the lights in the room, and there was some light faintly shining in the white candles.

Yao Qi said: "My lord, it is indeed the candle of Pingkangfang. ”

Han Changdui closed the box heavily, and with a snap, the two internal guards shook their spirits together, he glanced at the two of them, and asked lightly, "Where did you find it?" ”

One of the guards whispered, "Right at the end of the hallway, under that long case." ”

Han Changwan sneered, seeing that it was too late to destroy these things, he would find a place to discard them at will, hoping to confuse the public?

He unintentionally flicked the lotus copper buckle, making a soft clicking sound.

After a moment of silence, he quietly ordered: "Turn off the lights in all the rooms on the second floor, and search them one by one." ”

The two internal guards looked at each other, and they should claim to be.

They naturally knew what they were searching for, and the candles in Pingkangfang would inevitably leave traces when they were used up, but they were not easy to detect.

Han Changwan turned his head and asked Yao Qi, "What do you think?" ”

Yao Qi frowned slightly: "There is something missing on the belt, and it is thrown on the ground at random, and the candle in question is placed under the long case in the corridor, how do you look at these things, how can I think of what a thoughtful person can do." ”

Han Changwan smiled: "The murderer's method of killing people is very meticulous, and he has not shown any horses and feet so far, but he made such a big mistake in Mingyuan Building, which is indeed not like his method." ”
