Impossible Missing!
Soon, Lu Qing arrived at Yongle Lane.
At this moment, the place was already filled with people.
The Shadow Guards, the Capital Governor's men, and even the Imperial Guards were all here.
When Lu Qing arrived, they were interrogating the people living nearby and searching their homes.
However, he didn't find anything.
"Lord Han, how is it?"
Lu Qing asked Han Min.
At this moment, Han Min's face was covered in dust and dirt. Her face was also a little pale, and her pupils were bloodshot.
He really hadn't had a moment of rest these past few days.
First, the killing of the Turkic Third Prince had caused him to be restless day and night.
It was rare for Lu Qing to solve the case, but who knew that he would be beaten up by Li Shimin in less than 15 minutes.
Because the princess had gone missing in Chang 'an.
As the capital governor, he was duty-bound!
Li Shi Min had already given the order that if he couldn't find the princess, he would have to pay with his life.
Han Min, the governor of the capital, was really stifled.
What an unlucky year!
When he saw Lu Qing's arrival, his tired eyes suddenly lit up. It was as if he had found his savior.
After the incident at the relay station during the day, Lu Qing's status in his heart had instantly risen by a lot.
He was about to cry." Lord Shaoqing, I can only rely on you. You must find the princess. Otherwise, you won't be able to see me. You can only go to my grave to burn paper during the holidays."”
Lu Qing's eyelids twitched when he saw Han Min holding his hand tightly.
He quietly broke free of his hand and took a step back to distance himself from Han Min, whose orientation was unknown. Then, he said,"Lord Han, don't worry. Since I'm here, I'll do my best.”
"Tell me, how's the situation?”
Han Min also knew that the matter was urgent, so she quickly told him what she knew.
"Her Highness the Princess disappeared here about an hour ago. When she disappeared, Chang 'an had already started the curfew, so there were no pedestrians on the streets.”
"After we received the news, we quickly sealed off the surrounding roads. Similarly, we did not see any unknown people. We also questioned the people of Yongle Square and searched the nearby residences. However, we still found nothing.”
Lu Qing looked around as he listened to Han Min's story.
There were 108 districts in Chang 'an, which was similar to the community in the future.
Because Yongle Lane was close to the Imperial Palace, the land price was very high. Those who could live here were either aristocratic families, officials, or wealthy merchants. It could be said that they were either rich or noble.
This was a wealthy district.
The place where Princess Changle went missing was in the alley of Yongle Lane.
There were two roads from Yongle Lane to the Imperial Palace. One was the main road, but it would take a long detour.
There was also this alley. The alley was more winding, but the distance could be reduced by at least half.
He thought for a moment and said," Tell our people to retreat. Don't disturb the people's rest. We have to control the speech now to prevent rumors from flying everywhere."”
"And I heard that Princess Chang Le was disguised as a man when she went missing. Her disappearance might not be because she was a princess. If she was really kidnapped by the thieves and the thieves knew that she was a princess, they might take the risk in desperation.”
"After all, kidnapping an ordinary person and kidnapping a princess are completely different crimes.”
Han Min hurriedly nodded.
"That's right. Maybe the thief didn't kidnap the princess because of her identity. If the thief knew about her identity, she would be in danger.”
"I'll get my men to retreat and silence the others," he quickly said.”
After Han Min left, Lu Qing looked at the Shadow Guard. He had asked before and found out that this Shadow Guard was called Lu Shisan.
His surname was Lu, and he was Sequence 13 among the Shadow Guards, so he was called Lu Shisan.
As for his original name, unless he left the Shadow Guards or died, he would never mention it.
"Lu Shisan, you've been following the princess in secret, haven't you?”Lu Qing asked.
Lu Shisan nodded." That's right. Her Highness has a noble status. We have to ensure her safety, but we can't be discovered by her. That's why we're following her secretly. We're about 200 feet away.”
"Twenty zhang?"
Lu Qing calculated the distance and said," This distance isn't too far. Did you guys rush out immediately after discovering that Her Highness was surrounded by the fog?"”
Shisan shook his head." We didn't come immediately because there were no people on the road during the curfew. We didn't suspect anything about the fog, so we didn't take action immediately.”
"Later, we heard a scream and knew that something might have happened, so we rushed over.”
"But when we arrived, the princess had already disappeared.”
Lu Qing replayed the situation in his mind and asked,""How long has it been since the fog appeared, until you heard the scream, and then when you rushed here?”
"In about fifteen breaths, we heard a scream, and we rushed over in less than five breaths.”
In that case, it would take about twenty breaths of time, about twenty seconds?
This was not a long time.
It was not easy to make two living people disappear into thin air in just 20 seconds.
And there was also that fog…
Was it a coincidence? Coincidentally, it was foggy?
Or was it man-made?
Lu Qing was deep in thought. Suddenly, his eyes moved.
"This is?"
Lu Qing squatted down and touched the wall with his fingers. He then withdrew his hand, which was full of water droplets.
Moreover, the wall was a little cold, much colder than the air.
Could it be…
Lu Qing quickly looked at Lu Shisan and said,""When you came here, did you feel that the temperature here was a little cold?”
Lu Shisan was stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment and then said,"If Milord hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have cared. Now that I think about it, it seems that this place is really a little colder than other places. However, after the fog dispersed, it wasn't that cold.”
Lu Qing's eyes flickered.
As expected.
"Then, how did people disappear? He disappeared without a trace in twenty seconds. How did he do it?”
Lu Qing pursed his lips and pondered.
"Lord Shaoqing, His Majesty wants to see you.”
At this moment, Han Min suddenly walked over and said.
Lu Qing looked towards the source of the voice and realized that Li Shi Min had come here without him knowing.
"Your Majesty," Lu Qing walked over.
Li Shiming's face was pale, and his deep eyes were filled with regret. He looked at Lu Qing and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Lu Qing, save Chang Le. You must save her.”
Li Shi Min suddenly bowed to Lu Qing,""Zhen begs you."
