"Voluntarily disappear?"

After Yan Baiyu heard Shen Mo's words, she immediately frowned. Then she said to Shen Mo: "You mean, Ruiyun escaped from the palace privately?"

"Yes, otherwise how can I explain it?" Shen Mo said to Yan Baiyu with a smile. "That's unreasonable?" Yan Baiyu said in confusion: "Ruiyun often has the opportunity to leave the palace and go to the street to buy items. There are always one or two times a month... If she wants to escape privately, there is no need to be such trouble. She just needs to leave the palace according to the normal route and then go back and never return.

Isn't that enough?"

"That means there is a reason, that she must leave immediately." When Shen Mo said this, he smiled and raised an eyebrow at Yan Baiyu.

"There must be something inside," Yan Baiyu murmured to himself: "We have to find it out!"

"That's natural!" Shen Mo said, and walked out of the warehouse with the two of them.

Then Shen Mo went to the hall of the embroidery room, found a chair and sat down. He then said to Yan Baiyu:

"You go and tell the manager of this embroidery room and let him gather the palace maids in the show room. Anyone who had spoken or had contact with Ruiyun on the day of his disappearance would call her over and I want to interrogate them one by one."

Speaking of this, Shen Mo smiled and said to Yan Baiyu: "Tell the manager and scare the palace maids. If someone dares to know and not report it, if I find out later, I will definitely punish you and not lend me a debt!"

Yan Baiyu immediately took the order. After a while, the eunuch in charge of the embroidery room brought about a dozen people and quietly waited for Shen Mo's summons in the courtyard.

Then, Shen Mo began to question them one by one.

First of all, Shen Mo asked about the seven palace maids. These seven people were all those who worked with Ruiyun in the hall of the embroidery room before Ruiyun disappeared. They had already explained the incident to Yan Baiyu before.

After listening to it again, Shen Mo waved his hand and asked them to go out.

After that, there were several palace maids who had contacted Ruiyun alone that day.

The first person Shen Mo called in was a girl named Jing Yun. Seeing that the girl was so cute and cute, Shen Mo was also nervous when standing there, and couldn't help but smile.

"When did you meet Ruiyun that day?"

"At lunch," Jing Yun replied: "At that time, Ruiyun was fetching water on the well platform in the yard. I passed by and said a few words to her."

"What are you talking about?"

Jing Yun replied tremblingly: "I saw that the bracelet on Ruiyun's wrist was particularly bright and clean, so I asked her if she had gone to the gold and silver shop. Ruiyun said that she had blown it once when she left the palace last time... It cost three cents, that's all."

Shen Mo looked at Jing Yun's wrist and saw that she was wearing a silver bracelet on both hands. However, the grooves on the pattern were slightly black.

The Jiangnan region is humid, hot and rainy, so even a very stable metal, silver, will produce some black rust in places that cannot be touched. The so-called "fried silver" is actually to burn the silver jewelry with charcoal fire to the red, and then put it in the alum water for quenching.

In this way, the oil and dirt on the silver jewelry will be burned by charcoal fire. The sulfuric acid component in the alum water will remove all the black rust on the surface of the silver, making the silver jewelry as bright as a new one.

Therefore, in ordinary underworld buildings, there are business of "fried silver" that renovates silver jewelry, and the money it costs is also very cheap.

Shen Mo asked a few more questions and sent her out.

Yan Baiyu looked at Shen Mo and asked these people, but he felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning in his actions.

Next, the next one was a little palace maid named Jinyun. I saw that this girl was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. After entering the house, she was so nervous that she shivered into a ball.

After hearing Shen Mo's question, she said nervously: "I met Sister Ruiyun before lunch. At that time, I was tidying up the silk thread in the yard while humming songs. Sister Ruiyun saw it and joked with me a few words."

"Sing that song again, and then explain the passage in detail." Shen Mo said to the girl with a smile.

Then, Jin Yun sang in a vibrato voice:

"It's already dusk, and birds from the eaves should go. I hope you don't come at this time, but I miss you. I sing and sing, and I can live in different places. I wish to be like a figure and a shadow, and I will always go in and out..."

"When I sang here, Sister Ruiyun arrived. Then she laughed at me and sang this song "Song of Wan Zhu". Do you miss a man..." When Jinyun said this, the girl's expression was ashamed and red as she was about to drip.

"What after this?" Shen Mo continued to ask her.

"I was so embarrassed that I had nothing to say, Sister Ruiyun walked over..." Jinyun replied with her head down.

"Who asked you this? I mean, did you really miss a man when you sing?" Shen Mo asked Jin Yun with a smile.

"I...I..." The little girl was so embarrassed that she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

"Okay, you go out!" Yan Baiyu ordered Jin Yun, and turned around and glared at Shen Mo fiercely.

But Shen Mo, he muttered with striking words: "I'm so tense every day, and I don't know why you, a secret spy, have been tense until now!"

When the next one came, the eunuch in charge came in. As soon as he arrived, he hurriedly saluted Shen Mo and Yan Baiyu.

"Little Li Fu, I saw Miss Ruiyun at about three minutes later that day."

"So, he may be the last person to see Ruiyun alone." Shen Mo said to himself when he heard this.

"What did you all say?" Shen Mo asked as he looked at Li Fu.

"I had an urgent task at that time and wanted to go to Shaoxing Mansion." Li Fu said: "Then he said that there was something wrong with the brocade pattern enshrined by Shaoxing Mansion. I asked me to go and see it."

"Before leaving the palace, I went to ask Ruiyun if I would like to bring anything. She asked me to bring her two kilograms of Chinese torreya from Shaoxing Mansion to come back...and then I left the palace."

"Have you gone to Shaoxing Mansion?" At this time, Shen Mo asked lightly: "You will have to come back for more than 100 miles of waterways around the clock."

"I came back the next day after that day." Li Fu said respectfully: "I only realized when I came back that Ruiyun disappeared that afternoon."

"Grand Tremorus..." Shen Mo raised his head and thought.

The Chinese torreya produced in Shaoxing Prefecture is a nut that can be used as medicine and a snack. Because it is big and full and tastes good, it is very famous in Lin'an City.
