Lu Yuansi watched Liu Yingsu die tragically in front of her eyes, she instinctively wanted to scream at that moment, and even her legs were so frightened that she couldn't deal with anything to think about, and she didn't even know how to react when she heard the sound of footsteps outside the corridor......

Someone came, not just one, it was a group of people, and they would soon come here, and when they saw this corner, there was only themselves, and a corpse, and their bodies were covered with blood......

What would they think? They would think that she had killed Liu Yingxu.

Then, they will take her into prison and start investigating her, and they will find out who she really is.

Then, then, Yin Qixiu will be charged with the crime of secretly harboring a death row prisoner, along with the Yin family......

She could have figured it out quickly, but what was in front of her was so shocking that she didn't know what to say.

A man suddenly jumped up behind her, covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming to attract attention, and then restrained her with his arms, and before she could react, carried her over the fence and outside.

After landing, Lu Yuansi was dragged forward by the man in front of him wearing a guard uniform, and he made many detours, getting farther and farther away from the Criminal Department, and getting farther and farther away from the place where the murder occurred......

"Who are you?" She asked vigilantly, gasping for air.

Seeing that there was no one in front of him, the man quickly stopped his pace, untied his cloak and put it on her, and explained, "It was the squire who asked me to follow you." ”

"What? He asked you to spy on me?"

The man paused, "No, it's to protect you." ”

……

Xu Zitong, who was surveying and mapping in the back court of the Criminal Department, saw Liu Yingsu one step ahead of him, so he guessed that he was going to the front court to observe Gu Qingning's trial, and others also knew that Liu Yingsu was not dealing with Gu Qingning, and secretly discussed Gu Qingning's trial. Xu Zitong couldn't completely focus on the fortifications, so he took them to the front court, and also wanted to listen to the trial.

After all, they are all friendships accumulated by staying up late together, and the contractor of the Ministry of Industry treats Gu Qingning naturally differently from Liu Yingsu, and they all have the intention to favor her, so they want to support their Lord Langzhong at this time.

The group walked into the corridor of the front court of the Criminal Department, and was going forward, turning into the corner of the barricade, at this time, most of the people of the Criminal Department were in the public housing offices, and few people passed by here, only they came and heard the terrible scream outside the corridor.

It was Liu Yingxu who was killed, Lu Yuansi was frightened and screamed, they hurriedly followed the sound and ran to the right corner wall, but a few steps, climbed down the fence and looked outside the back wall separated by the stone wall, there was no human figure there, and then looked closely, only a corpse in the grass.

That is, they are familiar with, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Liu Yingsu.

They shouted in panic, attracting the guards and people from the criminal department who patrolled the defense, and also alarmed the front court.

In the trial hall, Gu Qingning defended himself in the hall: "...... It was also a coincidence that I would pass by Shi Langting that night, but I had no intention of bumping into the thieves, so I risked my life to snatch the drawings from them, and if someone hadn't come to rescue them in time, I am afraid that my life would have been lost. The clear self-purifying, the lower officials are not afraid of the speculation and suspicion of adults, only worry about the fearless disaster, if the lower officials have any sins, but heaven and earth are the same, no one can punish the heart!"

"Gu Langzhong, don't be busy complaining about it first, if everyone is like you, then there really won't be a single sinner in our criminal department. Yin Qixiu looked at her coldly and smiled mockingly at her.

In this trial, they prepared a lot of detailed evidence to support the accusation against Gu Qingning, so he was quite confident, held up a sealed confession, and said: "This official has obtained testimony from your ministry, and the staff of the Ministry of Labor has testified that only you and Liu Shilang know where to store the two stolen drawings, and the deployment officer in the Shilang Court assured that after you handed over the drawings, Liu Shilang put away the drawings in front of you, so that even if he really didn't find the right place, wouldn't you dutifully remind your boss when you were present?" This kind of low-level mistake, Liu Shilang may make it, but if you are as fine as Gu Langzhong, you shouldn't be so careless, right?

"Don't you think this testimony is far-fetched?" Gu Qingning calmed down and faced Yin Qixiu's pressing step by step, "How can this witness guarantee that he saw it with his own eyes? How can my lord determine that the lower official told a lie? For this point, the lower official can ask Lord Liu to come forward to prove it for me, I really don't know where the drawings are stored......

Yin Qixiu asked, "Do you want Liu Shilang to be your witness?"

She nodded politely: "Yes, please summon Lord Liu." ”

Yin Qixiu smiled meaninglessly and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"Why?" Gu Qingning was immediately a little dazed, and the confusion revealed was looked at by Yin Qixiu.

He picked up the testimony again and said, "Because Liu Shilang is already a witness to this official." ”

"Since Gu Langzhong has said this, this official will explain it, the testimony that you have just been accused of you was recorded by Liu Shilang himself, including the motives for wanting to frame him, he has corroborating evidence, and then you set him up to take charge of this fortification, which is also a good proof. ”

Gu Qingning was stunned in the lobby, speechless, showing a rare look of confusion and loss, and lowered his head and said, "I didn't expect Lord Liu to ...... me like this."

It turned out that Liu Yingsu was willing to come to the Criminal Department today, not to testify for her, but to accuse her, with the intention of trapping her in a catastrophe......

Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qinghuan outside the court withdrew their gazes looking up at the sky, and looked at Gu Qingning in the independence hall together.

She took a deep breath, made a calm and fearless appearance, and looked directly at Yin Qixiu: "Dare to ask your lordship to invite Lord Liu to confront the lower officials." ”

Yin Qixiu waved his hand and said to the main book next to him: "Summoning witnesses to the court." ”

The chief bookkeeper looked at him suspiciously, because Liu Yingxu did not arrive outside the court and wait in the front court as they had planned.

After only a short pause, a chaotic sound suddenly appeared, and a group of personnel from the Criminal Department ran into the front court from behind, shouting at the hall: "Oh no! Lord Liu of the Ministry of Industry is dead! Lord Liu has been killed!"

"Liu Shilang is dead!"

Yin Qixiu stood up from the main seat all of a sudden, his face turned pale with shock, and he ran down the hall, glaring at the people who came to report in shock.

He reacted, his eyes were still wide, and he turned his head to look at Gu Qingning, who was standing still next to him, only to see her frowning, slightly startled, and she did not shy away from looking at him at this time.

He said, "He's dead......"

Gu Qingning nodded: "Yes, my lord, your witness is dead." ”

……

The originally solemn and majestic hall of the criminal department was in chaos, Yin Qixiu gritted his teeth, put aside the matter here and ran out, wanting to check the scene of the crime, but was stopped by Gu Qingxuan before leaving the court.

He was furious, and he didn't want to talk to the Gu family at all at this time, and Gu Qingxuan stood in front of him indifferently, took out a document from the cuff of Zhongcheng's official uniform, put it into his arms, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice: "It seems a little inappropriate to say this at this time, but it can't be in vain, Yin Shilang, this official came to your ministry today, not only to observe the trial of the little girl, but also to send a summons for you, Yin Shilang." ”

"What, summon me?" Yin Qixiu's eyes widened with anger.

Gu Qingxuan was helpless and replied: "Yes, today, there is a report in the imperial history of the Imperial History Observatory that Yin Shilang is sleeping in flowers and willows and raising and selling prostitutes to corrupt official morals, and there is Luo Hongge Lao Bustard as a witness. This official is here, and I here, I here, I here, I here ”

……

"Are you sure there was no one next to the corpse at that time?" After Gu Qingning saw the scene of Liu Yingxu's death, he squeezed out of the circle surrounded by the investigators of the Criminal Department, and walked to the side, followed by the frightened Xu Zitong.

Xu Zitong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and replied: "I was the first to run over, and I really didn't see the second person present...... Only Lord Liu's corpse ......"

In fact, he had some regrets in his heart, after all, he planned to behave well in the court and curry favor with his boss, he knew very well that favoring Gu Qingning's side must have a great future, so he didn't need to come to the Criminal Department in person today, but when he heard Gu Qingning hint to him in the morning that she hoped that the subordinates of the Ministry of Industry could testify for her with Liu Yingxu, he made up his mind to unite the subordinates below to support Gu Qingning, so he kept paying attention to Liu Yingxu's movements......

But how could Xu Zitong have thought that Gu Qingning never expected others to help her prove anything, and her "hints" to him were just like her "explicit" instructions to Liu Yingxu in the morning, just to let them come to the Criminal Department, use Liu Yingxu to lure out one person, and use them to catch one person......

Gu Qingning glanced over there again, she was giving Liu Yingxu an autopsy, Yin Qixiu was carrying the summons order that Gu Qingxuan brought to him and devoting herself to the investigation of the case, she looked at those people, as if she wanted to find something in that crowd.

But no, not the person she expected, the face......

No, she wondered what went wrong.

Liu Yingxu's death...... That person should have let Yin Qi repair the capital......

All of this is her calculations, and she plans carefully every step, which step went wrong?

Gu Qingning felt a little frustrated and looked lonely, not because she was vicious and ruthless and attached too much importance to her own ability, but because her plan today did not succeed, which meant that the person was still free, so her secret was still in danger of being leaked, to be honest, Gu Qingning was most afraid of Si ......

How scared is it? Scared, just because Liu Yingsu knows that secret, then he is destined to die......

Xu Zitong came back to his senses from the murder case, thought of another major event today, and asked, "My lord, the arraignment just now...... You're alright, aren't you?"

Gu Qingning hesitated and shook his head: "It's okay, there will be a result." ”

After the inspection was completed, he made a report to Yin Qixiu, and the transcript was recorded on the side. Seeing this, Gu Qingning walked over, adjusted her breath deeply, her eyes were a little red, rubbed her nose, pursed her lips and glanced at the corpse again, her face was full of grief and sadness, and after she left, she stepped forward and asked Yin Qixiu: "Lord Yin, have you found out the cause of Lord Liu's death...... He...... How could he die? Who would have done such a thing to him?"

At first glance, he really looked like a subordinate who cared about the cause of his boss's death, but fortunately, Yin Qixiu also knew her a little, so he was not completely confused by her, glanced at her with disdain, looked down at the transcript in his hand, and said: "Liu Shilang was fatally killed by a knife in the throat, according to the depth of the knife and the direction of the blade, he should have been killed with a flying knife, the murderer has strong martial arts, this kind of murder is not something that ordinary people can do......"

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Qingning with a sharp gaze, and she didn't have the slightest flaw.

"Flying knives, but didn't the personnel of your department just say that the footprints of two people were found at the scene? The distance between the murderer and Lord Liu should not be too far, right?" she asked.

Yin Qixiu was already a little too lazy to deal with her, "There are two people with good footprints, but there are no traces of a fight at the scene, and there is no sign of struggle on Lord Liu'......s body, it is obvious that he was raided."

In her planning, Liu Yingxu had better be harmed at close range, so that she could fall on someone's head, but she never thought that Yin Qixiu would be so keen. She thought she wasn't doing enough.

Yin Shaochu, who heard the news, also rushed over from the Ministry of Industry, and when he saw Liu Yingxu's tragic death, he was very shocked.

"It's ruthless, it's ruthless......"

He watched at the scene of the crime, and after seeing the blood hole in Liu Yingsu's throat, he couldn't help but feel nauseous, ran to the side and vomited, but he couldn't vomit anything, he was purely frightened, which was also a normal reaction.

Gu Qingning saw him like this, went over to help him pat him on the back, and said with relief: "If you can't bear it, don't look at it, I am here, and then I'll deal with this...... You'll go back first?"

Yin Shaochu retched, his eyes were bloodshot, he exhaled with difficulty, looked up, looked at her, took a few breaths, but didn't say anything.

In the face of Yin Qixiu's sharp gaze, she didn't show timidity, but at this moment, she subconsciously wanted to escape from Yin Shaochu's gaze, and turned her eyes away: "What...... What's wrong?"

Yin Shaochu frowned and paused for a long time, his intuition told him something cruel, but he couldn't bear it, he couldn't believe it, and he couldn't help but doubt it.

After all, he also knows her...... It's always been ......

"Qingning ......" he finally spoke, slowly stepping back step by step.

Her heart shook inexplicably, as if someone had pierced everything, she felt weak and anxiously asked, "What's wrong?"

"Will it be me next?"

Yin Shaochu's sudden question made Gu Qingning disappear in an instant, like a floating world subversion that turned the world. She opened her mouth, trying to hide but couldn't speak, she just watched him move away from her one by one, and the silver filigree embroidery on his official uniform became more and more dazzling......

After he turned around, she said, "No, no, no......"

He had said it countless times, but there was only one word, and he could no longer hear it.

……

Liu Yingsu was killed, the truth became a mystery, and in order to investigate the case, the people of the Criminal Department came to the Ministry of Industry to collect evidence and inspect his public house, hoping to find out the clues of his enmity and grudge.

Eventually, under the cushion of his lord's seat, they found a thin wood carving of a double unicorn—the mark of the Immortal Sect.

Therefore, it can be concluded that Liu Yingxu, like the officials who were killed before, died at the hands of the Immortal Sect.

But why did the Immortals kill him? And what is special is that this time it was not a sign left at the scene of the crime, but in his public house, hidden under a hidden cushion?

In the end, they came to the last possibility, Liu Yingsu was originally related to the Immortal Sect. So he was not randomly selected by the cult gangsters and killed, but murdered for some reason.

Why?

In the case of the theft of drawings that happened not long after Lenovo's Ministry of Industry, as they investigated before, the two drawings were kept and collected by Liu Yingxu at that time, but the cult members were able to easily find them in the Ministry of Industry.

In other words, in fact, Liu Yingsu is the most suspicious.

Now that he was killed, it could not be regarded as an annihilation.

……

This is the conclusion that Gu Qingning wants them to come to.

The double unicorn logo was placed in Liu Yingxu's public room by herself, and in the early morning, when she was in "close contact" with Liu Yingxu, she pretended to be flattering, just to cover up her small action.

From the beginning, she didn't intend to ask Liu Yingxu to help her clarify how to testify, but wanted him to be a scapegoat for being killed.

As long as this idea is true, she not only eliminated the potential crisis, but also testified for herself, completely put aside her suspicions, and pushed all the suspicions that Yin Qixiu had about her on the dead Liu Yingxu.

However, how easy is it to get Yin Qixiu to make a decision on this speculation?

Even if he had come up with these things himself, I am afraid he would not have easily convinced himself to believe in this result.

If you can't make him believe it, then you can only make him unable to interfere anymore-

Two days after the case, Yin Qixiu was censored by the Yushitai and interrogated by Gu Qingxuan. How he tried Gu Qingning before, Gu Qingxuan tried him how he was, not to mention that the crimes he was accused of were all true, so he was planted as soon as he arrived at the Yushitai.

Human and physical evidence were laid out one by one, Yin Qixiu's crime of prostitution was revealed, and he was impeached by the imperial history platform.

Before Liu Yingsu's case was investigated, he was suspended.

It is a foregone conclusion that Sangu will win this game.

And the next game, the official game with Yin Jiaming, also kicked off.
