Sheng Mingyu never thought of letting these people go easily. Although he still had to rely on them in the future, if he didn't set some rules, he was afraid that they would be arrogant in the future.
"Really? Can you really find out the truth with just a few of you? I told you to come to me first if you find someone missing. Are you turning a deaf ear to me?"
This wasn't enough. His eyes glared down as he scanned the area, "Could you please tell me who that person you sent out was looking for? When something like this happened, why didn't you tell me first? What are your intentions?"
Sheng Mingyu questioned every word, and the yamen runners broke out in sweat and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
I originally thought that a few words of explanation would be enough to get through today's disaster, but now it seems that it won't work.
"Your Highness, we know we were wrong. We just don't want you to be too worried or burdened. If you are really angry, punish us."
"Yes, Your Highness, we have never thought of betraying you! We just hope that the adults can give us some advice."
The bailiff kept begging for mercy, and what he said was illogical but pleasant to the ears.
Sheng Mingyu didn't bother with it anymore and just wanted to scare them.
This will prevent you from deceiving your superiors and subordinates in the future.
"Alright, let's just let this matter go for now. We can bring it up again when the Japanese prince is in a bad mood. The most urgent thing is to tell me who is missing? Are there any clues left at the scene?"
Sheng Mingyu waved his hand, and the people below also breathed a sigh of relief.
They have worked with Sheng Mingyu for so many days and understand his temperament.
Since I don’t care about it today, I probably won’t care about it in the future.
Even if I bring it up one day when I'm in a bad mood, I can always get away with it.
The yamen runners calmed down and spoke out every word they had just heard, without hiding anything.
"The missing person is an ordinary citizen, a man who was the only one at home. He was discovered missing after not leaving home for several days. People nearby reported him to the police, but nothing was left at the scene. We searched for a long time but found no useful clues."
In fact, they were a little upset. They should have found clues, but they really found nothing.
Sheng Mingyu frowned, doubt in his heart, "You didn't find anything? I've been here for such a long time, and you didn't find anything. Just when I came here, you said you were protecting the clues. What exactly are you guarding against?"
It doesn't look like these people just now have found out anything. Could they be deliberately hiding things from me?
He came here so quickly because he hoped to eat something ready-made, but he didn't think of letting Gu Yunni and others investigate.
"Your Highness, we are very discerning. We really haven't found anything. If we had, we would have brought it to you long ago. How could we possibly conceal it?"
"Yes, I heard that this man has been missing for several days. Even if we hurry, we won't be able to find anything useful."
Every word Sheng Mingyu said now touched the hearts of the people below.
If he was even a little unhappy, they would kneel down and beg for mercy.
I really regret it. I shouldn't have kept it a secret earlier, and my every word wouldn't be doubted.
"Okay." Sheng Mingyu nodded and said nothing more.
Judging from the looks of these people, they probably didn't hide anything from me.
They wouldn't joke with their own lives.
"You guys should just leave first, and we'll investigate. You won't be able to find anything anyway, so why not let me do it? It's better than just waiting."
Sheng Mingyu drove everyone out, and the few of them finally took action.
Just now, Gu Yunni stood aside and didn't say anything, for fear of disturbing Sheng Mingyu.
After everyone left, Sheng Mingyu came to Gu Yunni again and said, "Yunni, where do you think we should start investigating? How about I get some yamen runners to come in and help?"
Gu Yunni shook her head. She wanted to rely on the yamen runners, but they were not people around her, which made her suspicious.
Since you have doubts in your heart, you might as well rely on yourself. At least these friends are trustworthy.
"It's better not to let them in for now. Although I can't investigate, I understand the mysterious arts. As long as there are traces, I can find them. If there are really no clues, you can call them in."
Qin Yanchen was searching for clues while reassuring everyone, "There's really no need to look for those people outside. Although the person has been missing for many days, no one has ever entered this house. The scene is well preserved. If you are careful, you should be able to find something useful."
"Yes, let's take a look around first. It's impossible that we won't find anything. Take this teacup for example. If you touch it, the outside of the cup is still warm. This means that there was someone else in this room before these yamen runners arrived."
The Imperial Master agreed very much. He walked around and touched the items in the house, and finally found a clue.
Gu Yunni and others rushed over immediately and studied the cup.
The person has been missing for so many days, it is impossible that he is still drinking tea in the house. Then who was the person in the house at that time?
Gu Yunni reacted quickly and expressed her guess.
Although it's not very reliable, this is what she thought in her heart.
"You've been telling me a lot about that master of the mystical arts these past few days. I think he's a proud and arrogant man. It's very likely that he was drinking tea in the room."
Sheng Mingyu was very curious. She also knew the master of mystical arts, so why couldn't he see things as clearly as she did?
How did she come up with this analysis?
"Why? Isn't he afraid of people coming over and blocking him in the house? He only knows mysterious arts, not invisibility."
Gu Yunni smiled mysteriously, "You don't know, the mystical arts have the ability to teleport. As long as you are strong enough, you can leave the spot immediately. It's more than enough to deal with those minions outside."
The Imperial Master nodded in agreement. "For example, if the two of us were standing here right now and wanted to teleport back to the government office, it would be very simple. We would just need to rest for a while."
He hadn't thought about why Gu Yunni said that before, but after hearing about teleportation, he figured out what was going on.
However, he usually doesn't use this technique because it goes against common human principles and consumes a lot of physical energy.
"So you're so powerful? Then Yun Ni, why don't you teach me? That way I can be by your side as soon as possible."
Gu Yunni held her forehead helplessly, this man was really not serious.
Isn't he said to be a god of war, a man who has won many battles? But now he looks like a fool.
Gu Yunni glared at him warningly, "I'll teach you when I have the chance. For now, I'll just explain the principle and how that person escaped."
Sheng Mingyu nodded quickly. "If that's what you said, it's very likely him. You three are the only masters of the mystical arts that this prince knows. You've always been by his side, so who else could it be besides him?"
Things that didn't make sense before now made sense after Gu Yunni's explanation.
