Scientific Cultivation of Immortals: Making the Flying Sword Gatling at the beginning

With doubts in his heart, Gu Biao continued to read the file in his hand.

Most of the records in this dossier are the historical materials of the previous great Shang emperor, Diyi, and the shortest of these historical materials is almost 4000 years old.

I don't know when this dossier was compiled. Although the paper has been specially treated by the immortal method, it still looks old.

He didn't pay too much attention to the issue of materials, but in the process of flipping through the pages, Gu Biao had some doubts in his heart:
What is so different about this historical material, and why did a court lady hold it before she died?
Why didn't the murderer take the file away?
Is it because of the suspicion, or is there some secret behind it?
……

There were more and more questions in his heart, but Gu Biao did not get an answer to any of them.

In the process of browsing, Gu Biao also discovered a detail.

Perhaps it is a problem with the reading habits of a certain borrower. Occasionally, traces of nails scratched on certain sentences are found on the dossier.

These places with slight scratches are all major events that happened during Emperor Yi's reign.

Gu Biao counted and found that there were about 29 scratches, corresponding to 29 major events.

After comparing these scratches, Gu Biao found three more places where the scratches were repeated and looked messy.

It's like someone has thought about and read these three things over and over again.

These three scratches are respectively recorded as follows:
From 20237 to 20341 in the Dashang calendar, the princes were rampant. Driven by the family behind it, Dashang experienced 104 years of counter-insurgency...

Starting from 20343 in the Great Shang Calendar, Emperor Yi of the Great Shang Dynasty lamented the problem of homeless people brought about by the [-]-year suppression of the rebellion. During the past ten years, they successively used treasury assets in the name of disaster relief and building nursing homes in the market...

In the year 21442 of the Great Shang Calendar, the new Emperor Xin succeeded to the throne...

In the place where these three scratches are repeated, especially the last one, not only are there scratches in the sentence structure, but also there are obviously redundant engravings at the front of the "new emperor Xin succeeds to the throne".

But Gu Biao didn't understand the meaning of these scratches after thinking for a long time.

In other words, does the event represented by the scratches have anything to do with this case?

In the end, Gu Biao had no choice but to let it go for the time being.

Try to interpret this dossier in a different way of thinking.

"Perhaps there is a secret book of immortality hidden behind this dossier?"

Following this idea, Gu Biao tried to use some special methods to see if he could find the difference in the dossier.

But everything is in vain.

There is no interlayer in the paper, and there is no redundant writing in the light or shadow.

Although it is often recorded in some stories in the previous life, some special text hiding techniques need to be burned with fire.

But this dossier has a lot to do with it, and Gu Biao can't bear the responsibility if he fails and doesn't find any clues.

So in the end I didn't dare to try it lightly.

"Should I change my mind again?"

Gu Biao thought in his heart.

"Perhaps there is some kind of code hidden in this dossier? Something like Fence Code or Morse Code?"

"Or is it the key to some kind of cipher?"

With divergent thinking, Gu Biao continued to make various attempts...

……

"Master Gu, it's getting late, do you still want to go to the crime scene?"

When the guard outside knocked on the door to inquire, Gu Biao realized that it was already evening.

Putting down the file in his hand, Gu Biao pondered for a while.

Considering that tomorrow he will go with Di Yunxi to find the concubine and prince to ask some related questions, Gu Biao decided that he should explore the scene of the crime.

So Gu Biao responded in a deep voice: "Well, wait for me a moment, we will go to the scene of the crime."

……

After returning the dossier to the warehouse of the criminal department responsible for managing evidence and other related items, after about half an hour, Gu Biao finally arrived at the crime scene under the leadership of the guards.

At this time, it was already dark, and it was reasonable to say that there was no major event, and outsiders were not allowed to enter the palace again.

But this time Gu Biao was investigating the case under the order of Di Xin, and he had Di Yunxi's token in his hand, so the palace guards naturally did not dare to make mistakes.

The combination of the spirit stone and the immortal method emits a strong light, illuminating the area around the dry well outside Yongyi Palace.

Gu Biao looked around in this three-foot area, and then he heard the accompanying official of the Ministry of Punishment open his mouth and say:
"Master Gu, this is the place where the maid died."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment gestured towards Gu Biao, and pointed in the direction of the dry well.

The Ministry of Punishment official's surname is Lin Mingyi. It is said that after the implementation of the imperial examination system in recent years, he finally reached the current position in the Ministry of Punishment with his true talents and knowledge. He is different from those elected by the family.

Gu Biao has always respected those who struggled with their true abilities, after all, they already had half of his abilities.

Well, he is different, he not only works hard and has real talents, but also he is supported by a rich woman...

Gu Biao immediately returned his salute to Lin Shilang and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin. It's late at night, and you took the pains to accompany me to the scene of this murder."

Lin Shilang also waved his hand: "Master Gu is serious. I should admire Mr. Gu and learn from Mr. Gu's rigorous and serious attitude towards the case!"

The two flattered each other a few times, and then began to discuss the case while carefully observing the crime scene.

"Lord Lin, after the investigation of your criminal department, when did this court lady die?" Looking at the traces on the ground, Gu Biao opened his mouth to ask without raising his head.

Lin Shilang pondered for a while and returned: "After our autopsy, this maid should have died eight days ago, and according to the degree of her abdominal bulge and the results of the autopsy, she should have been pregnant for three months!"

Hearing Lin Shilang's reply, Gu Biao immediately raised his head in surprise and asked, "That is to say, the body of this court lady was only discovered three days after the incident?"

"Didn't Yongyi Palace report it after the maid disappeared? Didn't the female officer in charge of personnel in the palace notice?"

Lin Shilang stroked his goatee, and continued to return: "According to what Emperor Niyun of Yongyi Palace said, the maid submitted her resignation to go home to investigate, and the imperial concubine agreed, so she thought that the palace maid Because Nian Jia stayed at home for a few more days."

"Afterwards, we did find out the report record of this court lady, and it was indeed as Concubine Niyun said."

At this time, Gu Biao asked in surprise again: "Oh? Can the maids in the palace leave the palace at will?"

Lin Shilang pondered for a while and said: "Under normal circumstances, you can't leave the palace at will, but there are exceptions."

"For these court ladies who have no talent for cultivation, the palace stipulates that after they turn 25, they can apply to leave the palace and go home to visit relatives within a certain period of time, and this dead palace lady has passed [-] years."

"Then is it possible that the child in the maid's womb came into contact with outsiders after leaving the palace?" Gu Biao continued to ask.

Because although this case involves the third taboo of secrets, it is not impossible that the child in the maid's womb has nothing to do with this case, and the cause of the maid's death is related to royal secrets.

So Gu Biao asked this question.

But Lin Shilang shook his head and replied: "After our interrogation of the maid's family, this maid has not had any contact with men since she left the palace."

"And because they knew that the court lady was a person in the palace, the men around him were in awe of the dead palace lady and kept their distance."

Hearing Lin Shilang's words, Gu Biao nodded to show his understanding, and continued to search in the three-foot area...
