Shan Ying was at a loss, but just met Qi Yunyu, why did she suddenly have a clue?
Before Xie Connan came back from the imperial city, Xue Jiaojiao went to find Qi Xiao who was still in the imperial city.

"Brother Qi."

Qi Xiao turned around.

"In this world, is there any sinister way to get rid of people's pain?"

Shan Ying, who was chasing after her, was stunned when she heard this sentence.

Qi Xiao frowned and said, "Yes, but I'm not sure."

Xue Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is, she spoke out her conjecture.

"I'm just guessing, maybe it's a bit presumptuous, so I'll tell you two, I just observed the queen's attitude towards the prince, I care very much, and the prince is suffering from illness.

When I lived in the palace, I also heard the palace people talking about the relationship between the empress and the concubine. For a while, I remembered the scene when I first met the empress. At that time, the expression on the empress’s face when she mentioned the concubine and the princess seemed a bit too much. I was a little suspicious, but there was no definite evidence . "

After saying these words, both Qi Xiao and Shan Ying were stunned.

This guess was too shocking, but Qi Xiao suddenly took out the map.

He looked at the location of the palace, where the child was taken away, leaving only a gap around the palace.

He thought it was strange before, but if Xue Jiaojiao's guess is added, it seems to make sense.

"Is the relationship between the empress and the imperial concubine really that bad?" Qi Xiao couldn't help asking.

Shan Ying didn't know either, she had just come to her senses, in Xuanwu Kingdom, she didn't have much contact with Wen Yunsu, she was only familiar with Qi Xuan.

"It's hard to say what others say, so I didn't tell others, I just want my brother to help me verify this guess."

Qi Xiao straightened his expression, "Yes, as long as it's not too much."

The palace is indeed a place that is easily overlooked, what if someone thinks the most dangerous place is the safest?
"If you do these things in the palace and don't let people find out, then you can only take the emperor's personal items, so the emperor didn't notice."

Shan Ying sighed after listening, "It's really possible, and the emperor has always been a negligent character, and he hasn't changed it for thousands of years."

While they were talking, someone from the monster catcher came to send a message.

"A child is missing."

The three looked at each other, and Qiqi followed that person.

The women on the street were crying so hard that they were fighting for the ground, and the people next to them came up to comfort them, but it didn't help at all.

"My boy, my boy—"

The demon catchers went to help the woman, but they were pushed away again.

The few of them could only be anxious, the child just now disappeared before their eyes.

This time it was the moment when they were closest, Xue Jiaojiao ran over there and stared at it for a long time.

There is still no magic circle left, how did that person transfer the child away out of thin air.

Qi Xiao stepped forward and checked the surroundings, but there was nothing unusual.

Xie Congnan who received the news also rushed back, and the monster hunter finally brought the woman back to the monster hunter for questioning.

When the woman had cried enough, she began to talk about the situation at that time, and combined with what the monster catcher observed nearby, she slowly dismantled it.

Xie Congnan shook his head, "There is no magic circle left, so how did you take the child away?"

Xu Youzhi looked at the woman, "Has your child acquired anything new recently? They didn't have it before."

The woman paused for a moment, recalling carefully.

"New things?" The woman racked her brains.

Everyone else was waiting for her to speak out.

The woman suddenly raised her head, "Except for the safety rope I bought from the temple last month, there is nothing else."

"Safe rope?"

The woman nodded, "If you have children at home, don't you all ask for a lighted safety rope to keep you safe?"

After finishing speaking, the woman looked at the people who were thinking with downcast eyes, "Several elders, can I get my child back? If I can't find it, what should I do, I only have this child."

"Don't worry, we will tell you when we find it." The demon catcher sent him out while comforting him.

"Go and find out if the other children have taken the safety rope?" Qi Xiao asked Xie Connan.

Xie Congnan nodded.

Without the magic circle, it is possible that the child was taken away through a certain medium. What the woman said just now, the medium is very likely to be the safety rope.

Others acted quickly, and asked the family where the child disappeared before, and finally got the exact information.

Those missing children were indeed wearing safety ropes. These were bought by their parents for a good meaning, but they did not expect to become a life-threatening talisman.

"Investigate four or five-year-old children wearing safety ropes, and tell those people to take them off quickly."

In any case, the child cannot be lost anymore.

The monster catcher who received the order hurried to do it.

Qi Xiao walked over and whispered Xue Jiaojiao's guess to Xie Connan, Xie Connan raised his eyebrows.

Xie Congnan walked up to Xue Jiaojiao and called her over.

"Are you sure?" Xie Congnan asked bluntly.

Xue Jiaojiao replied frankly: "I'm not sure. I don't have any evidence to prove it. I just asked Senior Brother Qi if there is a way to get rid of the pain."

Xie Congnan thought about it, and there is such a method, which is more sinister and not allowed by the righteous way.

If it was really related to Wen Yunsu, then would the forty children be hidden in the palace?
It is not easy for them to search the palace.

Qi Xuan had to go to talk about it first, but it was a pity that they had no evidence.

If there is evidence, just put it in front of Qi Xuan.

This is also what Xue Jiaojiao was worried about. She put this conjecture aside and began to investigate along the safety rope.

They went to various temples the next day and asked where the safety rope was obtained.

The host was still in a daze. This safety rope was obtained through a channel. Why did something happen suddenly?
"This thing is sold by dealers in the south of the city." The host blushed.

The red rope, which cost less than a few copper plates, directly sold them several times.

"Where does the dealer live?"

The host said a place name.

Xue Jiaojiao and Shan Ying went there and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

The resident next to him who heard the movement came out, "No one has come back from his house for a long time, so he shouldn't be at home."

Xue Jiaojiao lowered her hand and winked at Shan Ying.

The two made a circle, jumped onto the roof of the merchant's house in the south of the city, and then entered the small courtyard.

The door was closed, Xue Jiaojiao stretched out her hand and pushed gently, and a rotten stench came out.

"Ugh—" Xue Jiaojiao covered her mouth.

Without noticing for a moment, the nasal cavity was directly filled with the stench.

Shan Ying opened the door, only to see a dead body lying horizontally inside, with mosquitoes and flies flying around.

Seeing this scene, Shan Ying also pinched her nose and almost vomited it out.

Xue Jiaojiao regained her composure and took a few steps back.

The corpse may belong to the dealer in the south of the city.

"Call someone over here."
