The bones were also quite old. "Looking at the appearance of the bones, it should have been there for some time. I wonder if there is anyone missing in the mansion?"
Xue Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head and subconsciously looked at the steward beside him.
The steward frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No. The people in the mansion have always been taken care of by this old man. All of them are registered. No one has disappeared."
Hearing this, Liu Rumei couldn't help but frown. No one has disappeared? "What about the people outside the mansion?"
The steward also shook his head. "Naturally not."
He didn't know who this person was.
Xue Changsheng also frowned tightly and couldn't help but step forward. "Miss Liu, is the sound of the flute related to this matter?"
Since this skeleton was found, the sound of the flute has never appeared again.
Liu Rumei smiled and nodded. "There is an instrument called Xun. Each has a different shape. There is a hole smashed in this skull, and it was placed in the stream's secret passage. During the day, the stream flooded this skull, so there was no sound at all. In the middle of the night, when the stream receded, this skull was exposed. The flowing of the stream caused the air to flow, and it was poured into the smashed part of this skull, and then this sound was transmitted. It was like the sound of a flute but not like it. Every time the wind was poured in, the sound would be louder."
Hearing this, Xue Changsheng also understood. "So that's how it is."
The servants around also suddenly realized. "So it's because of this!"
"But that sound was extremely creepy! It was really scary!"
"I don't know who this person is. It's really pitiful that this person was treated like this."
"Maybe this person is uneasy in the underworld, so he borrowed the sound of the wind like this!"
"This Miss Liu is really well-deserved!"
"Tsk tsk... I don't know who this person offended."
"..."
Everyone whispered to themselves, but Liu Rumei said, "I still ask Lord Sima to carefully investigate and see if there is anyone missing? This person was beaten before his death, and there were wounds everywhere on his body."
Xue Changsheng nodded seriously. "Please rest assured, Miss Liu. After I have a clue, I will definitely send someone to the Prince's Mansion of National Security to send a letter at the first time."
Liu Rumei smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Lord Sima."
At this time, Mo Liandi said leisurely, "The murderer is mostly still in the Sima Mansion."
After hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled inexplicably. If this person was still in the Sima Mansion, would it be among them?
For a moment, everyone was extremely panicked.
Xue Changsheng's face also darkened. If this person was still in the Sima Mansion...
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. This subject will definitely investigate strictly!"
He must arrest this person as soon as possible!
Mo Liandi nodded in satisfaction before taking Liu Rumei away. Ye Zhe packed up the body and took it away.
Xue Changsheng was sweating coldly on his head. He immediately ordered a strict investigation. At this time, the steward stepped forward with a look of embarrassment. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "My lord, could it be that person?"
Xue Changsheng frowned. "Who?"
"Before, the master sent someone to lock that person in the wood shed, and then ordered someone to beat him to death with sticks. However, the body was nowhere to be found. Could it be..."
Could this skeleton be that person?
He didn't say anything before because he was afraid of embarrassing the master. However, now that he thought about it, he felt that it was very possible. After all, in all these years, the only person who could disappear without a trace was that person...
However, he didn't know who stole his body and then made it like this.
Xue Changsheng also quickly came back to his senses. His eyes were full of evil, and his face was extremely gloomy. "Back off."
Now that he thought about it, he really felt that it was possible.
Thinking of that person, Xue Changsheng's eyes were full of anger, which was really shocking.
Back in the Prince's Mansion of National Security.
He saw Yun Xi and his brother still waiting in the courtyard. The two brothers were lying on the railing with great interest, looking at the two people in the courtyard.
"If you don't get a spanking for a day, you'll misbehave. Are you itchy?"
"Let go, let go! Can you at least leave some face for this young master?"
"Leave some face for you? Tell me, where did you go to fool around in the middle of the night? You're getting more and more audacious, aren't you?"
"You still want this woman to show mercy. Don't even think about it!"
Anan was grabbed by the ear. His beautiful eyes were full of grievances. "This young master said that he didn't go out to fool around! If you don't let go, don't blame this young master for being rude!"
Hengniang immediately used a little more strength. "Rude? This woman really wants to see how rude you are!"
Anan looked extremely aggrieved. He saw Liu Rumei and the other two walking in, and his eyes immediately lit up. "Liu Liu, this young master's ear is about to be useless. Quickly tell her that this young master went to be a coolie for you!"
Liu Rumei looked at the scene in the courtyard. For a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, she didn't let Anan down. She pulled Hengniang away. "Anan really helped me carry the body."
Hengniang blinked. "Really?"
Liu Rumei nodded with a smile. "I definitely won't lie to you."
Only then did Hengniang feel relieved. However, her eyes looking at Anan were still full of unhappiness.
Anan also looked extremely aggrieved. He looked at Hengniang pitifully. "You only know how to bully this young master..."
Hengniang immediately threw a cold look at him. "What if I bully you?"
Anan immediately lost his temper. He shrank in the corner pitifully and looked at Hengniang from time to time. His eyes were full of grievances.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Rumei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yun Xi and Yun Li also ran down and surrounded Liu Rumei. "Sister, why did you come back at this time?"
Just as these words fell, Ye Zhe appeared with a flash. He threw the burden on his shoulder on the ground.
Yun Xi looked extremely curious. "What is this?"
He quickly opened it and immediately widened his eyes. "Sister, didn't you go to the birthday banquet? Why did you carry back a skeleton?"
Yun Li also said with a worried look on his face, "Sister, did you encounter any difficult cases again?"
Hengniang and Anan also looked over. Liu Rumei told them about the matter in the Sima Mansion in detail.
Hengniang stepped forward mysteriously. "Liu Liu, did you meet that Xue Jingjia?"
Liu Rumei looked at Mo Liandi beside her and nodded. "I saw her."
Hengniang said angrily, "Liu Liu, if you go next time, remember to beat her up for this woman."
"You have a grudge against her?"
"This grudge is very big!" Hengniang gritted her teeth. If she didn't want to go back, she would definitely kill this person.
Liu Rumei subconsciously looked at Anan beside her. Seeing that Anan's expression was calm and there was nothing strange, she told them about what happened to Xue Jingjia today.
Hengniang couldn't help but widen her eyes. "She's really shameless!"
She was still the legitimate daughter of the Sima Mansion, but she actually did such a shameless thing!
Then she praised Ye Zhe. "Good kick!"
