Madam let me die

There is no problem with Cang Xiaoyue's Red Rain Nightmare case, at least judging from the files, everything is normal.

Therefore, when Li Nanke came, he had no intention of re-investigating the case. He just wanted to take this opportunity to meet the fake Empress Dowager.

At the same time, I also wanted to try my luck to see if I could find any clues related to the bone whistle.

But when Li Nanke habitually used Hongyu to open his clairvoyant eyes and inspected the room where Cang Xiaoyue lived, he was shocked to see that there was a secret door under the bed, and he didn't know where it led.

"Master Li, what are you looking at?"

When Xiaolan saw Li Nanke standing motionless in front of the bed, she couldn't help but wonder.

Li Nanke looked away calmly and asked casually, "Has Cang Xiaoyue always lived in this house?"

"Well, Sister Xiaoyue has been living here."

"Has the Queen Mother been here?"

"The Empress Dowager?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment and shook her head slightly, "No, the Empress Dowager has never been to this house. After Sister Xiaoyue died, she ordered us to lock the house."

Li Nanke wiped his fingers across the table next to him, looked at the dust on his fingertips, and then squatted down to carefully check the ground near the bed.

Sure enough, the ground was very clean.

"This house is always locked, so no one cleans it?"

"No."

The girl shook her head.

Li Nanke remembered the "ghost sighting" incident that the other party mentioned before, and asked curiously: "Who do you think saw the ghost in this house in the middle of the night?"

"Sister Xiao Qiu."

"Can you call her?"

"Okay, Mr. Li, wait a moment." Xiaolan ran out of the house with broken steps.

Soon, she came with a maid.

This maid named Xiao Qiu is nearly thirty years old, has an ordinary appearance and is a bit fat.After being brought to the house, he was visibly disturbed.

"Xiao Qiu has met Mr. Li."

The maid bowed.

Li Nanke looked at the other person and was about to sit on the chair and ask, but gave up after looking at the dust on it.

When Xiaolan saw this, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the chair.

"Thank you."

Li Nanke smiled slightly at the little girl.

The charming smile coupled with the handsome face made the girl's cheeks turn pink, her heart in her chest was beating wildly, and her features were full of girlish love.

After all, I have been in the palace all year round, and the people I usually see the most are eunuchs or guards. The graceful and beautiful men described in books can only be imagined.

Li Nanke sat on a chair and asked Miss Xiao Qiu: "Xiao Lan said that a few days after Cang Xiaoyue's death, you saw someone in this house in the middle of the night?"

"No...no." Miss Xiao Qiu pinched her skirt with both hands and forced a smile.

"Sister Xiao Qiu, you said you saw it yourself before."

Xiaolan frowned.

"Then...that's because your eyes are dazzled. How can there be ghosts in this world?" The woman's eyes dodge and her smile appears a bit forced.

Li Nanke comforted him: "Don't be nervous. I'm just curious and want to chat casually. Whether you're dazzled or you've really seen it, just tell me a story."

"Yes, Sister Xiao Qiu, Mr. Li just wants to hear a story. Just tell it truthfully."

Xiaolan also comforted her.

The nymphomaniac girl only wants to help the man.

Xiao Qiu bit her lower lip and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Perhaps this slave is really dazzled. I had a bad stomach in the middle of the night. When I went out to use the toilet, I saw a figure moving in the next room."

"Are the lights in the room on?" Li Nanke asked for details.

"No." "How did you see that darkness?"

"There was just some bright light." Xiao Qiu didn't know how to describe it, trying to describe the scene he saw that day, "Anyway, there was some very dark light, and it disappeared all at once."

"You saw the figure from outside. Where exactly was it in the house? Was it on the bed?"

"Yeah, it's near the bed."

Xiao Qiu affirmed.

At this point in the inquiry, Li Nanke has concluded that people often come in and out of the secret passage in this room.

The light Xiao Qiu saw should be the light emitted from the dark passage. It is estimated that the dark passage is embedded with lighting beads or other luminous things.

As for the person who entered and exited the secret passage, it seemed that only the fake Empress Dowager was suspected.

From this point of view, there may be something fishy about Cang Xiaoyue's death.

In order not to alert others, Li Nanke did not stay in the room for too long and called in some people related to Cang Xiaoyue's case for routine questioning.

After recording, Li Nanke came to the Queen Mother's bedroom again.

"Master Li, have you finished reviewing it?"

The "Empress Dowager" changed into looser Chinese clothes and leaned on a soft chair. There was a bowl of prepared medicinal soup in front of her, exuding the aroma of medicine.

Li Nanke handed over his hand and said, "The preliminary questioning is over. When I get back, I will check with Director Jing and the others. If there are any questions, I will need to come back tomorrow."

"Master Li is serious about his work."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's expression clearly showed a trace of displeasure, and she didn't know whether she was mocking or praising her. It was probably the former.

"This is my duty. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."

Li Nanke apologized.

The woman was too lazy to say anything and waved her hand to signal Xiaolan to see her off.

Looking at the medicinal soup hanging in front of the other party, Li Nanke suddenly asked with concern: "Is the Queen Mother's health okay?"

"Okay."

"Speaking of which, Xiaguan was once a native of Dongqi County and had the good fortune to get to know the eldest princess. Unfortunately, he was unable to meet the Empress Dowager at that time."

Li Nanke looked regretful and said softly, "When I learned that the Empress Dowager was missing, I was very anxious and searched for her with Nie Qianhu and the others for a long time.

Fortunately, thanks to God's blessing, the Empress Dowager returned safely, and the official's worried heart was relieved.However, the official heard that the Empress Dowager was frightened and felt depressed all day long, and even had nightmares at night.

It happens that Xiaguan's wife is a doctor. If the Empress Dowager doesn't mind, Xiaguan will ask his wife tomorrow - "

"Master Li is serious, it's just a small problem."

The Queen Mother interrupted him impatiently and said calmly. "Aijia only needs to rest for a few days and he will be fine, so I won't bother Madam to go to the hospital to see a doctor."

After saying that, he asked the maid to take Li Nanke away.

After coming out of the palace, Li Nanke took advantage of the guards not paying attention and opened his clairvoyance eyes to investigate the area. Unfortunately, he did not find the secret passage.

Li Nanke was confused.

Could it be that the secret passage in Cang Xiaoyue's room did not lead to the outside of the palace?

Seeing that it was still early, Li Nanke returned to the Night Patrol Department and told Leng Xinnan the results of his investigation.

"We'll go together tomorrow. You can ask questions, and I'll secretly open a secret passage to investigate."

Li Nanke gave his plan.

It is not convenient to investigate alone. There is always a maid following you.

"A few days ago, Little Rabbit saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat on the street, and happened to see her face, which looked very similar to the Empress Dowager."

Leng Xinnan said, "Originally, I was doubtful that the Queen Mother could leave the palace at will. Now it seems that she sneaked out of the palace through a secret passage."

Li Nanke nodded, "This impostor is still very powerful. But it is difficult for her to create a secret passage alone. She must have an accomplice."
