Chapter 395 You Shouldn’t Have Come
The princess sat up straight, her face stern. "Are you sure the murderer is in the princess's mansion?"
Jiang Yunxi: "Very sure."
"As long as Miss Yun finds out the murderer, I will reward her handsomely." The eldest princess said seriously, hatred swirling in her eyes.
Jiang Yunxi nodded, stood up and left with Zhan Beiyuan.
After they left the princess's courtyard, they didn't see anyone outside. Probably because they were busy with Chen Ling's funeral, the servants had gone out to do so, so there were not many maids or servants here.
The two of them strolled around the mansion casually and finally arrived at the pond in the garden. In the winter, there was nothing in the pond except water.
"Do you think the body parts are under this pond?" Zhan Beiyuan asked in a low voice.
"I'm not sure, but this pond should be the entrance." Jiang Yunxi said. Anyway, she didn't sense anything and didn't know whether there was any formation in this pond.
But her intuition told her that there must be another world under the pool.
"Why don't we go down and take a look now?" Zhan Beiyuan said.
"Wait until midnight. There are still people coming and going outside now. Let's come over after everyone is asleep." Jiang Yunxi said lightly. He didn't see the royal guards today.
Could it be that the royal family of Tianqi thought that ghosts were killing people and felt that it was useless for the guards to stay here, so they asked them to withdraw.
"Miss Yun, what are you doing here?" Shen Yutang walked towards them with her maid.
Jiang Yunxi turned around. The woman was dressed in a white dress as white as snow, with a white scarf tied on her head. Her eyes were red and she looked tired. It was obvious that she was in a bad state.
"We just went to see your grandmother. She admitted that she had grudges against many people, but when asked who was most likely to seek revenge, she said she didn't know."
"Is someone really here to take revenge?" Shen Yutang widened his eyes and clenched his handkerchief tightly in his hands.
Jiang Yunxi nodded. "This person is currently in the Princess's residence, and he's also very familiar with the deceased's detailed birth date and time. Without these details, it's impossible to cast a Word Spirit curse."
Shen Yutang was even more shocked. "The birth date and time are recorded in the family tree, which is locked in a box in the ancestral hall. Apart from my grandmother, mother, and three aunts, anyone else who wants to see it can ask them for the key."
"By the way, what was the Duke's Mansion before? I guess it became your grandmother's residence later." Jiang Yunxi asked after thinking of something. What if the royal family of Tianqi knew that the body parts were here?
Why do the people living in this mansion keep changing?
The eldest princess is only about fifty years old at most, and must have moved here more than thirty years ago.
Or is it that the Apocalypse Royal Family didn't know about the dismemberment at all?
"This used to be someone else's mansion. Grandmother thought the location was good and the scenery was nice, so she paid double the price to buy it. Grandmother definitely didn't take it by force."
Shen Yutang was afraid that they would misunderstand, so he explained it at the end.
My grandmother would not snatch things that could be bought with money because she had no shortage of money.
"I understand. You should go back and rest early." Jiang Yunxi said.
"You too." Shen Yutang said and left. She had been busy all day and only stopped in the evening. Thinking about what had happened recently in the mansion, she was physically and mentally exhausted.
Everyone at home is even more panicked today, fearing that someone will die again in a few days.
After seeing Shen Yutang walk away, Zhan Beiyuan lowered his voice and asked, "If this place used to be the residence of ordinary people, does it mean that the Tianqi royal family didn't know about the dismemberment?"
If they knew, they would not allow the residents here to change constantly, and they would probably send heavy troops to guard it.
Jiang Yunxi touched his chin and said, "There's another possibility. The Tianqi royal family knows that this place is sealed with layers of seals and outsiders can't find it at all, so they keep changing people living here."
"The more this happens, the less likely outsiders will suspect that the body parts are in such a place."
Zhan Beiyuan reached out and touched his nose. "What you said is possible."
Jiang Yunxi glanced at the pool and said, "Let's go back and see how they are doing."
When they returned to the guest house, Jiang Jingyan and the others had already arrived.
Probably because the eldest princess agreed to their investigation of the murderer, the first, second, third and fourth wives cooperated very well. No matter what they asked, they would tell them everything they knew. They were very cooperative.
"Sister, have you found out anything?" Jiang Jingyan asked curiously.
"No." Jiang Yunxi shook his head.
Chu Leyi looked worried. "There are only two days left after today. Can we really find the murderer?"
Jiang Yunxi looked at her and smiled, "I already have someone I suspect, and it should be her."
"Who?" Everyone looked at her.
"When Zhan Beiyuanzi and I go and investigate, we'll know if it's her. Otherwise, you can write down the people you suspect and see if there's anyone who's the same as me." Jiang Yunxi was in a playful mood.
"Okay." Jiang Jingyan immediately went to get pen, ink and paper. He felt that he and his sister must have a good understanding.
A moment later.
Everyone wrote down all the people they suspected.
Jiang Yunxi picked up the paper and took a look. Someone actually had the same idea as her. "It's getting late. You guys should go back and rest. I need to rest for a while before taking any action."
"Do you want me to go with you?" Qian Heng said.
"Too many people will attract attention, so Zhan Beiyuan and I can do it." Jiang Yunxi said. She didn't know if there would be any danger underwater, so it would be better for the two of them to go.
Qianheng nodded.
…
The third quarter of midnight has arrived.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan quietly left the guest house. Fortunately, the moonlight was bright tonight and there was no need to light a fire. The two of them walked easily to a big tree beside the pond.
"I'll go down and check it out first." Zhan Beiyuan said.
"Let's go together." Jiang Yunxi said and pulled him over to jump down.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
After getting into the water.
Jiang Yunxi performed a secret technique, and suddenly it was as if an invisible barrier enveloped them, preventing the water from drowning them. She pulled Zhan Beiyuan and quickly ran towards the bottom of the water.
Zhan Beiyuan was once again shocked by her secret techniques, but fortunately he had also learned some secret techniques recently.
It was unknown how long the two had been walking in the water, but their hard work paid off, and a bronze door appeared in their sight, but on the left and right doors were two ferocious beast heads.
They opened their bloody mouths and had fierce eyes, as if they were ready to devour people at any time.
Zhan Beiyuan released his strength and swung it upwards. The two beasts' heads fell off. When he reached the door, he pushed it hard and the door opened without any resistance.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
So easy?
She had thought it would take at least some force to open.
But the easier it is to open, the more problems there are.
It was pitch black inside.
Strangely, when the door opened, the water in the pond did not flow in, as if there was an invisible door blocking the water.
"Be careful when you go in." Jiang Yunxi reminded him.
"Yeah." Zhan Beiyuan took out a tinderbox and lit it, then led her towards the passage. It was chilly inside and the temperature was abnormally low.
Jiang Yunxi carefully sensed as she walked, but after coming in, she sensed nothing.
"You shouldn't be here." A cold female voice sounded.
