Lord, you stepped on my tail

Chapter 171
Si Chenyou narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and looked at Ye Bei: "What if the murderer is invisible?"

Hearing this, Ye Bei gasped suddenly.

"Intangible... Isn't that the work of spirits and monsters!"

Si Chen nodded.

The sharp phoenix eyes swept across the pool of blood, and suddenly saw a few pieces of suspected animal bones in the bright red blood.

Then he picked up a clean white cloth and wrapped it around his hands, gently picked up a piece of the sheet.

"what is this?"

The steward replied: "This is the bone fragment that the grand master usually uses for divination."

Speaking of divination, the purpose of Si Chen's coming here today is to ask Yu Wenlie to help him with a divination.

Even if he knew that the black cat raised by the empress was a demon, it would be difficult to convince people with his own strength.

But adding Yu Wenlie is different.

Yu Wenlie has a high reputation, and his skills of stargazing and divination are extremely effective.

If he could get his help, no matter how much the emperor pampered the empress, he would definitely let her hand over the cat.

Si Chen withdrew his thoughts, and asked again: "When did Taishi Yuwen enter the study?"

"It only took half an hour." The housekeeper continued: "The grand master watched the sky last night, indicating that there will be a phenomenon of seven stars connecting pearls tomorrow, so it can be inferred that the murder of villagers in Mingtai Village is not unusual, as expected, Today, it was reported that a villager was murdered, so the grand master wanted to come to the study for divination, who knows..."

As he spoke, the old housekeeper burst into tears.

Hearing this, two cold lights shot out from Si Chen's eyes.

The time when Yu Wenlie was killed was just before the cat returned to Fengluan Palace. This incident was too coincidental, so he had to think of it together.

Ye Bei immediately came to Si Chen and said, "Master, Grand Master Yuwen probably figured out the murderer, so he was silenced."

Si Chen didn't speak.

His eyes fell on the desk under Yu Wenlie.

The desk was covered with bright red and glaring blood, however, he still saw a piece of parchment resembling a map in the pool of blood.

"Xiao Bei."

Ye Bei understood, and hurried forward, removed Yu Wenlie's body from the desk, and placed it smoothly on the bamboo mat under the desk.

Si Chen looked carefully at the parchment on the desk.

This is indeed a map.

But it is not the same as the official map.

The lines and marking points distributed on it were all handwritten by Yu Wenlie.

Now those marks and routes have been blurred by blood, so they are not very clear, but Si Chen still vaguely feels that this route is very familiar.

At this time, Ye Bei exclaimed: "Master, why does this look like a map of Mingtai Village?"

Ye Bei's words hit Si Chen on the head, and he was immediately enlightened!

This is indeed the map of Mingtai Village!
Among them, there are four points marked in a concentrated distribution, like a trapezoid, which is the location of the fertile fields in Mingtai Village.

The other three marks formed a not-so-straight line, and two of the marks were the positions of the two deceased.

"Master, this seems to be a map of the Big Dipper?"

"Yes."

Ye Bei scratched his head: "Why did Grand Master Yuwen suddenly draw this map of the Big Dipper, or did he draw it at the location of Mingtai Village?"

"This is an imperial mausoleum."

Ye Bei was startled: "You mean, the bones of an emperor are buried underground in Mingtai Village."

"It's not that simple." Si Chen confirmed again: "Grand Master Yuwen said that there will be a Seven Stars Lianzhu tomorrow?"

The old housekeeper hurriedly replied: "Yes, my lord."

At this time, Ye Bei pointed suspiciously at the seventh mark, and said, "Master, look, the other marks are all drawn, why is this position a circle?"

"Because here, people will die."
