Chapter 919 This City Lord’s Mansion is so luxurious!
Most of these lower-class people think about things very simply. As long as they think it is beneficial to them, they will be happy to see it happen.
They rarely feel the same pain as others when they suffer misfortune, but we cannot say that they are cold-blooded. It is just that, relatively speaking, their own interests are more important.
After dinner, the two went to the City Lord's Mansion.
Mo Beihan was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of the massacre of the City Lord's Mansion, so no one would stop him.
In order to make things easier, Qiao Ran dressed in men's clothes today, and others just thought she was Mo Beihan's subordinate.
The two men walked into the city lord's mansion guarded by soldiers and began to look for clues of the murderer.
"Master! Miss Qiao! You are here."
Mu Yi was leading his men to search room by room in the huge city lord's mansion. When he heard his master coming, he hurried over to greet him.
Seeing that Miss Qiao was beside his master, Mu Yi was only slightly stunned, but was not too surprised, and hurried forward to pay his respects.
"Have you found anything?"
Mo Beihan was just asking casually, and judging from Mu Yi's expression, it didn't look like he had discovered anything.
As expected, Mu Yi lowered his head in shame:
"My Lord, this is the third time we have searched. This time we have searched much more thoroughly than the previous two times. We have almost dug deep into the ground, but we still have no evidence of the murderer."
"Continue to investigate! Focus on checking the city lord's bedroom, study, and secret room to see if there is a secret passage."
"Yes!"
Mu Yi stepped back and continued to lead his men to investigate the three places mentioned by his master.
Qiao Ran looked around, jumped onto the roof of the tallest building not far away, and looked around.
This city lord’s mansion is so luxurious!
It covers an area of several hundred acres. At first glance, it feels like walking into the Forbidden City, with pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings, revealing its grandeur everywhere.
In such a large area, how difficult would it be to find the entrance to a specially hidden secret passage?
"Ran Ran, I have a map of the City Lord's Mansion here, take a look."
Mo Beihan also jumped onto the roof, stepped on the solid tiles, took out a roll of cloth from his body and unfolded it.
Qiao Ran stepped forward, and the two of them compared the map of the City Lord's Mansion on the cloth to familiarize themselves with its structure.
Following Mo Beihan's explanation, Qiao Ran memorized every courtyard and house in the City Lord's Mansion.
"How about it? Do you have any good ideas?"
Mo Beihan looked at her with bright eyes.
After going over the structure of the City Lord's Mansion in his mind again and thinking about it, Qiao Ran replied:
"I think that since we have checked it twice, it is unlikely that there will be secret passages in the places that everyone thinks are the focus of investigation. Given King Ping's cunning and suspicious character, the secret passage is probably in a place that no one expects."
She pointed out four or five places:
"This, this, this, and here and here. Let someone check them out."
Seeing the places she pointed to, Mo Beihan looked at her strangely, but without any doubt, he immediately called Mu Yi.
"What are your orders, Master?"
Mu Yi asked his master who had just flown down from the roof.
Mo Beihan asked him to come forward and pointed to the places on the map that Qiao Ran had pointed out just now.
"Muyi, have someone check these places carefully. Make sure to check every inch of the ground and every brick to see if there is anything unusual."
When Mu Yi saw the places pointed out by his master, his eyes also looked strange.
I bravely took a peek at my master's expression, only to see that he also looked confused.
Mu Yi looked at Miss Qiao who was standing aside with a calm face, and understood:
"Master, I'll arrange it right away!"
After Mu Yi left, Mo Beihan asked Qiao Ran:
"RanRan, let's go take a look too!"
Qiao Ran nodded and walked in one direction.
When Mo Beihan saw the direction she was heading, the corners of his mouth twitched and he quickly followed.
