Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 953 Willing

The body has begun to rot, but it can be vaguely identified that it is the missing Zhou Youde. Unraveling the mystery of Zhou Youde's death makes the case even more confusing. Shen Mo carefully examined Zhou Youde's body and found that he was strangled to death, with obvious strangulation marks on his neck. On Zhou Youde's body, Shen Mo also found a letter, the content of which was Zhou Youde and a mysterious man conspiring to deal with Li Fu. It turned out that Zhou Youde was jealous of the prosperous business of Li Ji Silk Shop, so he wanted to unite with the mysterious man to bring down Li Fu and dominate the silk business in Chang'an. However, the identity of the mysterious man was not mentioned in the letter. Shen Mo fell into deep thought. Who is this mysterious man? Why did he kill Zhou Youde and Li Fu? Just as Shen Mo was thinking hard, he suddenly remembered the purple marks found on Li Fu's wound. He found a famous coroner in Chang'an City to re-examine Li Fu's body. After a careful examination, the coroner came to an astonishing conclusion. Li Fu was not only stabbed to death by a dagger, but before his death, he was also poisoned by a highly toxic substance called "Purple Ghost Poison". This poison is colorless and tasteless, and the poisoned person will not have any symptoms at first, but over time, the toxin will gradually erode the heart and eventually lead to death. The dagger only accelerated his death. Shen Mo was shocked when he learned the news. "Purple Ghost Poison" is extremely rare, and only the Imperial Medical Bureau in the palace and some mysterious organizations in the rivers and lakes have it. Shen Mo began to turn the direction of investigation to people related to the palace and the rivers and lakes. He asked around in Chang'an City and finally learned from a person in the rivers and lakes that a mysterious black organization has been active in Chang'an recently. The truth gradually emerged, and Shen Mo decided to investigate the black organization in depth. He disguised himself and mixed into an underground casino in Chang'an City. It is said that this is a place where members of the black organization often appear. In the casino, Shen Mo carefully observed the people around him. Finally, he found a suspicious man in black. Shen Mo quietly followed the man in black, passed through several alleys, and came to a dilapidated house. The man in black looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that no one was following him, he slipped into the house. Shen Mo waited outside the house for a while, and seeing no movement, he also climbed over the wall and entered the house. The house was silent, and Shen Mo groped forward cautiously. Suddenly, he heard a low conversation. He walked in the direction of the sound and hid under the window to eavesdrop. Only to hear a hoarse voice saying, "How is the matter going? Have Li Fu and Zhou Youde been dealt with?" Another voice replied, "They are all solved, don't worry, sir. But that Shen Mo is a bit difficult to deal with, and has been investigating this matter." The hoarse voice snorted coldly, "A small private detective, not to be afraid of. Keep watching him, and if there is any trouble, solve it together." Shen Mo was startled, it seems that his investigation has attracted the attention of the other party. He was about to leave, but accidentally stepped on a branch and made a sound. The people in the house immediately became alert, "Who is outside?" As soon as the voice fell, the door was pushed open, and several men in black rushed out. Shen Mo turned and ran, with the men in black chasing him closely. During his escape, Shen Mo successfully escaped the pursuit of the men in black by virtue of his familiarity with the streets of Chang'an. Shen Mo returned home and informed Lord Zhang of his discovery. Lord Zhang listened with a solemn expression, "I didn't expect that this matter would involve such a mysterious organization. Mr. Shen, we must eradicate it as soon as possible and restore peace to Chang'an." Shen Mo nodded, and he already had a plan in his mind. The Final Battle Shen Mo deliberately spread the news in Chang'an City, saying that he had mastered the key evidence of the Black Organization and would reveal the truth in public on Suzaku Street in three days. As soon as the news came out, there was a lot of discussion in Chang'an City, and the Black Organization could not sit still. Three days later, Suzaku Street was crowded with people, and the people came to watch curiously. Shen Mo stood in the middle of the street, and was about to speak, when suddenly, a group of men in black rushed out from all directions and surrounded him. The leading black-clad man sneered, "Shen Mo, you are very courageous. You dare to openly oppose us." Shen Mo remained calm, "You have committed many evil deeds and killed Li Fu and Zhou Youde. Today is your doom." As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Zhang led a group of yamen runners to rush out from all sides. It turned out that Shen Mo had already discussed with Lord Zhang and set up this trap to lure the black-clad organization into the trap. A fierce battle unfolded on Zhuque Street. Although the black-clad men were fierce, the yamen runners were numerous and assisted by Shen Mo. After a hard fight, the black-clad organization was finally wiped out. Shen Mo learned from the leading black-clad man that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually a powerful official in Chang'an City. This person was jealous of Li Fu and Zhou Youde's wealth, so he hired the black-clad organization to kill them in an attempt to monopolize their industry. The truth of the case was revealed, and the mastermind behind the scenes was brought to justice. After the people of Chang'an learned about this, they praised Shen Mo and Lord Zhang for their bravery. Shen Mo looked at the streets of Chang'an, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. This thrilling detective journey finally ended, and Chang'an returned to its former tranquility. But he knew that under this prosperous capital, there might be countless unknown secrets hidden, and he would continue to embark on the road to find the truth. Fengque Jinglan In the spring of the ninth year of Yonghe, apricot blossoms and drizzle soaked the majestic Forbidden City. The selected girls were dressed in moon-white skirts, like white plum blossoms newly blooming in spring, and lined up in a long winding queue outside Kunning Palace. In the crowd, Yun Qinghuan, the second daughter of the Yun family, stood in the corner with her eyes downcast. Her plain white handkerchief was wrinkled, and under the skirt embroidered with lotus, she hid an uneasy heart. Yun Qinghuan, who had just entered the deep palace, was born in a scholarly family in Jiangnan. Her father, Yun Henian, was the salt transport envoy of Lianghuai, and he was in a high position and had great power. She has been well-read since she was young, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is beautiful, but she is indifferent and does not like fighting. This time, the family sent her to the palace to consolidate their status. "Yun Qinghuan is granted the sixth rank of Changzai and lives in the side hall of Changchun Palace." As the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, Yun Qinghuan's fate changed. Stepping into Changchun Palace, the red walls and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, but there is oppression everywhere. Her master is Shen Shuyi, a dignified and generous woman, who is kind to her. In the first days of entering the palace, Yun Qinghuan was cautious and served Shen Shuyi every morning and evening. However, the peaceful days were soon broken. One day, she met the current emperor Xiao Jingyan in the imperial garden. That day, the sun shone on her through the branches, and she was lowering her head and stroking the petals, unaware that the emperor had arrived. "Such a beautiful scene, why is the beauty so sad?" The deep voice startled Yun Qinghuan and she looked up. When she met Xiao Jingyan's deep eyes,
