Gao An's eyes rolled and said seriously: "Let's check it out from these eight people first!"

Hu Yueying nodded and agreed.

Li Yu said: "Then, you will assign it to investigate separately!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Gao An, Hu Yueying, Feng Tang and Chu Ren all intervened and bowed, and took the order and left.

Neither Li Yu nor Yan Wen left immediately.

Yan Wen continued to study the corpse of the poisonous insect in the jar and the little wooden man.

Li Yu asked Hu Wei if he had found anyone who had performed abnormally in the recent past.

Hu Wei thought about it again and again, slowly shook his head, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Your Highness, everything is normal!"

"No one in the Eastern Palace has ever been exposed to witchcraft?"

Hu Wei was so scared that he almost knelt on the ground.

His head shaking like a rattle, and he said anxiously: "No! Your Highness! Absolutely no!"

Li Yu rubbed his chin and murmured: "No one understands the art of witchcraft, and no one performs abnormally..."

Before he finished speaking, Hu Wei suddenly thought of something and said, "If you want to say something abnormal, Captain Yao Yuan and Captain Yao's recent performance is a bit abnormal."

Yao Yuan?

Isn’t that one of the eight guards living in the capital?

Li Yu asked, "How is he abnormal?"

Hu Wei frowned, thought carefully, and said, "I remember that Captain Yao never drank before, but recently, he often drank."

"How did you know?"

Hu Wei said: "In recent days, when I met Captain Yao, I could always smell alcohol on him."

"I'm sure he didn't drink before, but he just started drinking recently?"

Yan Wen suddenly interrupted.

"Yes!"

"Are there any other abnormalities?"

Hu Wei thought about it and then, shook his head slowly, and said, "There is nothing wrong with other things."

Li Yu asked, "What did Mr. Yan think of?"

Yan Wen shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I want to go to Yao Yuan's house to have a look."

"Old Yan, I'll go with you."

Li Yu said to Hu Wei: "Do you know where Yao Yuan's home is?"

Hu Wei hurriedly said, "I'll go check now!"

Yao Yuan lives in Anyifang, Nancheng.

The location in the capital is average, but the living conditions are good and there is a unique courtyard.

Li Yu, Yan Wen and others came here, looked up at the gate, the gate was closed, and there was no sound inside.

"Jinwu, go and call the door!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Jinwu agreed, walked to the gate of the yard, and gently patted the door.

After waiting for a while, he slapped twice.

The yard is still dead and takes the opportunity.

This is a little bit wrong!

If there is no one at home, the door should be locked. If there is someone at home, why is there no one to answer?

Jinwu looked back at Li Yu.

The latter nodded to him.

The golden crow jumped up, easily climbed over the courtyard wall, and fell into the courtyard flutteringly.

Then, he turned around and opened the door of the yard.

Li Yu, Yan Wen, Guan Ying and the twelve guards entered one after another.

The yard was empty and cleaned very clean.

Li Yu pointed to the wing rooms on both sides.

The twelve guards immediately divided into two groups and walked into the left and right wing rooms.

Soon, the two groups of people retreated and shook their heads at Li Yu, indicating that there was no one.

Li Yu took a deep breath and his eyes fell on the front room.

He and Yan Wen walked in one after another.

Jinwu and Guanying are guarding Li Yu.

The main room is very spacious and the interior is decorated well. The floor is covered with black paint, and it is wiped brightly and spotlessly clean.

It can be seen that the owner of the house loves cleaning.

However, the main room was empty.

Guanying also specially checked the kitchen.

The pots, pans and pans are clean and arranged neatly.

The stove pit has also been cleaned up without any residual wood ash.

After checking carefully in the kitchen, Guanying walked to Li Yu and whispered: "Your Highness, it seems that there has been no one here for two or three days!"

Li Yu turned to look at Yan Wen and asked, "Old Yan, did Yao Yuan and his family run away?"

Yan Wen did not speak immediately. He half-kneeled on the ground and touched the floor.

The fingertips didn't even touch the ash.

If no one lives in two or three days, the ground will at least be a little dusty.

Thinking of this, Yan Wen simply lay down and sniffed the floor hard.

Li Yu and others looked at him for no reason.

After sniffing for a while, Yan Wen pulled out the dagger from his waist and slowly inserted it along the gap between the floor.

Then, he pulled out his dagger and looked carefully.

"Your Highness, there is blood!"

Li Yu immediately came forward, and sure enough, the tip of the dagger was stained with a little dark red.

This place has been specially cleaned up!

However, all the blood on the floor was wiped off, and only the blood in the gaps on the floor remained.

Li Yu asked in surprise: "Old Yan, can Yao Yuan's family be killed?"

Yan Wen said with a serious expression: "I'm not sure yet."

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the dagger cleanly, and then continued to insert the dagger into the gap in the wooden board to determine the direction of the blood.

Through the remaining blood stains on the floor, it was found that the blood stains were spreading to the back of the main room.

Everyone walked through the main room and came to the backyard.

This small yard is not big, and there are some celery planted on the ground on the left.

Yan Wen looked around slowly and walked to his right.

There is no vegetable growing on the ground here, but the soil has been turned over and it is very soft when stepped on.

Yan Wen walked twice, stomped down with one foot, and said, "Dig it out here."

Guanying immediately ran to the front yard and ran back with two hoes from the corner of the wall.

Zhang San and Li Si took a hoe and started digging the ground with a whirlwind.

After digging nearly two feet deep, the hoe touched a hard thing.

The two of them dig in the pit for a good meal, but they finally dug out three jars of wine.

Seeing this, everyone was disappointed.

Only Yan Wen narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Move the wine jar away and continue digging!"

Zhang San and Li Si were stunned. Could it be that something was buried in the wine jar?

The two spit into their palms and continued to swing their hoes to dig the soil.
To be continued...
