The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 125 I guess it's about the same

A figure suddenly appeared on the originally quiet window. The figure looked like an ordinary person, but strangely, she seemed to be able to pass through the narrow window gap easily.

The female police chief was shocked, and she opened her eyes wide to see the true face of this mysterious person. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened - the figure actually entered the cell through the window without any hindrance!

The woman entered the prison as quickly and flexibly as a ghost, without making any sound, as if space had no restrictions on her. Even the experienced female constable was stunned by the scene.

"Could it be the legendary bone-shrinking skill?" The female police chief was secretly surprised, but her face did not show any strange expression. After all, she had disguised her face, messed up her hair, and wore the same clothes as before, so the woman did not have any doubts about her.

"Eat quickly, you are still pregnant. Alas, you can only rely on this meal to fill your stomach every day, which is really hard. But when General Changsun leads his army to capture Kyoto, Madam will let the general release you from the cage first and leave this damn place. I think it won't take long, so be patient..." The woman muttered in a low voice, and the female constable said nothing.

"What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need my help to check on you?" The woman showed some concern.

"No need, I'm just a little sleepy..." The female constable replied, deliberately imitating Huangfu Yun's voice.

"It's easy to get sleepy when you're pregnant, so this is good. Then I'll take the food in this cell away, and you should eat it as soon as possible to avoid arousing suspicion from others. I'll leave now!"

Before she finished her words, the woman flashed and jumped onto the small window as lightly as a swallow.

Then, a jaw-dropping scene occurred - her arms and legs gradually shrank to be as small as a baby's, and then her waist and legs quickly shrank. In the blink of an eye, the whole person easily passed through the narrow window and disappeared without a trace.

The shocking scene before her shocked the female detective so much that she stood there in a daze for a moment.

The people in the nearby prison had been paying attention to the situation here. Seeing this, they hurried out to chase. Outside the cell window was a very high wall with many barbed bells on it. It was impossible for someone without extremely high Qinggong to pass through it.

Shangguan Qing stood quietly by the wall, examining it for a long time, staring at it with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through the solid wall.

Finally, he slowly squatted down and carefully observed the wall.

Suddenly, he noticed that the color of a part of the wall was slightly different, like the traces left by being soaked by rain. Shangguan Qing's heart moved, and he reached out and gently touched that area, feeling that the surface was slightly cool. He frowned, picked up the hammer beside him thoughtfully, and carefully knocked a few times.

Listening to the dull sound, Shangguan Qing said quietly, "Alas, it seems there is nothing unusual."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Han Bo, who was following behind him, let out a disappointed sigh.

Han Bo was the newly appointed Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. He was in his twenties, smart, well-informed, knowledgeable, reliable, and could be said to be young and promising. Within two months of taking office, he had become Shangguan Qing's right-hand man.

Han Bo had been following the investigation of these two cases. He had originally been expecting to make some discoveries, but he became a little discouraged when he saw that Shangguan Qing had gained nothing.

He was dissatisfied and kicked the suspicious wall angrily. With a muffled "bang", the seemingly solid wall actually dented slightly!

Han Bo was shocked and hurriedly called out to Shangguan Qing. Shangguan Qing looked in the direction of the voice, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He quickly walked to the wall and looked down at the dent that had just been kicked out.

After some inspection, they were surprised to find that a very small cave had been dug here at some point, which could be pushed in and out.

At this point, Shangguan Qing finally understood how the woman had sneaked into the cell.

He secretly admired the other party's clever methods, and at the same time he was curious about the master hidden behind this.

After returning to the cell, Shangguan Qing made a prompt decision and ordered everyone to stay put. Then, he called the female head constable and asked her to describe the prisoner's appearance based on her memory.

When the female constable finished the painting, Shangguan Qing took it and took a look. Oh my god, what the hell is this?

Yaksha?

This female police chief is fine for arresting people, but for drawing? It's simply unbearable. Children will have nightmares if they see it. Shangguan Qing rubbed his forehead.

"Han Bo, let her describe the person's characteristics and you draw it." Shangguan Qing rolled his eyes and gave the order as he looked at the words that he couldn't bear to read.

"Okay!" Han Bo responded.

The female police chief wasn't very good at drawing, but she was good at remembering people's features. With her description, a picture of a woman in her thirties appeared in front of Shangguan Qing.

"Looks familiar? I can't remember who it is..." Shangguan Qing pondered for a moment, "Let's go to Minister Huangfu's residence!"

Afterwards, Shangguan Qing did not delay and immediately led Han Bo and two chief clerks to the residence of Minister Huangfu to investigate the case.

Since the last time Huangfu Yan asked for mercy in front of the palace to clear his mother's name, Shangguan Qing has come to Huangfu's home many times, but to no avail.

The more he investigated, the more he felt that this case was full of strange things. However, despite his best efforts, he still could not find any substantial clues.

He began to suspect Madam Huangfu, but like Huangfu Yan, they both lacked solid evidence to support this speculation.

This Madam Huangfu was as cunning as a fox. She was extremely cautious in her words and actions, leaving nothing unnoticed, which made Shangguan Qing sigh that he had never encountered such a powerful opponent in all the years he had handled cases.

However, Shangguan Qing has always been a person who becomes stronger when facing a strong opponent and never admits defeat. Facing the current difficulties, it has instead aroused his stronger fighting spirit.

When seeing Shangguan Qing coming to Huangfu Mansion again, the Minister Huangfu was so shocked when he saw him that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

"Sir Shangguan, please don't investigate any further. My ex-wife really died of illness, and there is nothing strange about this matter. You just listened to the words of my rebellious son. Not only did you waste a lot of time, but it was also bad for the reputation of our family. Listen to my advice, brother, and withdraw." Sir Huangfu said earnestly, as if blaming Shangguan Qing for being too stubborn and a fool.

"I am entrusted with the imperial order to thoroughly investigate this case. How dare I slack off in the slightest? If I hastily close the case without finding out the truth, it will not only damage the reputation of your residence, but would also be disloyal and disrespectful to Your Majesty!" Shangguan Qing said righteously, with no intention of backing down, as if he was unyielding.

"Hmph," Huangfu Shilang snorted and held his breath, "Then why did you come to the mansion this time?"

"I'm on business, not chatting with you!"

Minister Huangfu thought, I want to chat with you? You have almost searched my house, sometimes you come in the middle of the night. I just married my 18-year-old seventh concubine last month, and we haven't had a good time together. When we were in love, you interrupted us. I will remember this grudge.

Thinking of this, Minister Huangfu felt annoyed again, so he spoke in a bad mood: "You have stalked everyone in the palace a hundred times, what else do you want to do?"

"Oh, is that so? Sir, everyone in your house is a suspect. I have to bring them all out for interrogation today!"

"Puff..." Minister Huangfu felt like a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out, and it came out just after he took a sip of tea.

"What? Interrogate them one by one? There are so many people in my house, can you interrogate them all?"

"Don't worry about whether the trial is coming or not, it won't be hard for me. You just need to cooperate."

"Good! Good!" Huangfu Shilang cursed in his heart, "Your grandmother worked so hard!" So he gritted his teeth and said, "After this trial, do you plan to try again?"

"I guess it's about time, right?"

"What do you mean by estimated?"

“It’s just a rough estimate!”

“What is a rough estimate?”

"It's probably about the same!"

"You!" Huangfu Shilang's nose was almost crooked with anger, and he pointed at Shangguan Qing, "I will let you investigate this one last time, and you are not allowed to come again. If you don't close the case in three days, I will personally go to the emperor to sue you for breaking into the official residence many times and molesting my concubine..."

Minister Huangfu was probably so angry that he spoke without thinking.

"Don't you know what your concubines look like? They are all ugly. Take your newly married seventh concubine, for example. Her eyes are a foot away from her nose, and they are very white, like Changbai Mountain. And your sixth concubine, her nostrils are pointed in the sky. If you stick a scallion in her nose, she can look like an elephant. And..."

"Shut up!" This was too much to bear. Minister Huangfu was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. He interrupted him.

"I don't think highly of them. I've even gone to His Majesty. He thinks they are trying to tease me." Shangguan Qing refused to shut up. He was the best at making people angry.

"Good! Good! Good!" Huangfu Shilang said "good" three times in a row, and shouted angrily to the housekeeper beside him, "Order everyone to come to the front hall, and go to the yard if there is no room. Let him investigate! Investigate! I swear first, if he can't find out within three days, I, I... will never reconcile with him! Hurry!"

Seeing his master's furious look, the butler was so scared that he ran down to give orders.

Han Bo couldn't help laughing behind Shangguan Qing. Shangguan Qing always made Minister Huangfu jump up and down every time he came, but he was very efficient.
