The light of the sun pierced through the thick ink clouds, sprinkling the first splendor on the earth. The oppressive dark night finally shook off the heavy body and ushered in a ray of gray and white light.

After more than ten hours of investigation, in the hazy light, Yao Jiqing's already majestic face looked a little more solemn and cold.

"Everyone," he said in a deep voice as he stood on the stone steps in front of the porch, slowly sweeping past the nervous and depressed guests gathered in the courtyard, "The matter of Mrs. Mu's accidental murder has now been decided, and now you can leave." ”

As soon as they heard that they could leave, the guests, who had been terrified all night, rushed to the gate almost immediately.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who stay, and they want to continue to pay attention to the case, and those who can take the initiative to stay at this time are all good friends with Mufu.

However, in addition to paying attention to the facts of the case, these people expressed their willingness to help more before leaving one after another.

Mu Yunxue and Qin Xianglan were the first to leave with the crowd, although the two of them came in with the light of the old lady, but when they left, there was a carriage waiting outside early in the morning.

As soon as the two got into the carriage and sat down, Mu Yunxue immediately shouted to the coachman, "Let's go." ”

The coachman, though he did not understand why she was so eager, obediently flicked his whip and threw it the horse's back.

Listening to the wheels driving on the bluestone slab, Mu Yunxue, who had been tensing her heartstrings, suddenly relaxed, and her whole person was paralyzed and leaned on the mat like a lump of mud.

Qin Xianglan, who was sitting opposite her, looked dark and uneasy, but on the outside, she was a little stronger than her.

"Yunxue," Qin Xianglan lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out, and said in a suppressed voice, "Did Lord Yao mean just now, the murderer who poisoned Mrs. Mu has been found?"

Mu Yunxue slowly opened her eyes and looked at her with a hint of sarcasm, even if a rootless mountain village girl climbed into her second brother's bed, could she still change her background.

This will pretend to be calm in front of her.

However, no matter how disdainful Mu Yunxue was in her heart, she would not directly embarrass Qin Xianglan in person.

Glancing at it, he said lukewarmly, "That's probably what Master Yao meant." ”

"Aren't you tired after a night of being scared" Mu Yunxue glanced at her, and couldn't hide her tiredness, "You're not tired, I'm not tired." ”

"Don't say anything, I'm going to squint my eyes and rest for a while."

After that, he ignored Qin Xianglan, and directly closed his eyes and tilted his head to rest.

Qin Xianglan bit her lip and looked at her soft face, and there was a hideous flash in her eyes.

Mu Yunxue closed her eyes and took a nap, she didn't dare to make a noise, so she had to close her eyes when she was bored. It's just that his eyes are closed, and the scene of Mrs. Mu vomiting blood and dying clearly surfaces in his mind.

I don't know what else she remembered, her originally haggard and tired crow-blue face suddenly turned faintly white, if she hadn't gritted her teeth, I was afraid that she couldn't help but scream.

Fortunately, the carriage walked all the way down the street, and as the sky brightened, more people came out to move.

Qin Xianglan listened to the voices of people walking outside from time to time, and then she felt a little more at ease.

After about an hour, I finally returned to the house.

Mu Yunxue and Qin Xianglan went back to their yards separately, washed up briefly, and fell asleep.

And not long after they fell asleep, a maid hurriedly slipped out of the back door with her head down, stuffed the neatly packed baggage in her hand into the hands of the people waiting outside the door, and said quickly in a suppressed voice, "All the clothes they wore yesterday are here, I'll go back first." ”

A quarter of an hour later, the strange doctor who patted his ass in Mu Mansion last night and left, this will be in a small room near Mu Yongchao's house, staring at one of the belly pockets and showing gritted teeth.

"It's outrageous to think of such a sinister and vicious method"

The purple-clothed girl who had been standing in the corner like a pillar walked a few steps forward, "Mr. Liu really found the source of the poison from these underwear."

The strange doctor glanced at her angrily, and said in a choked voice, "Didn't you girl expect it a long time ago, why didn't you let them take off their clothes together in Mufu yesterday?"

Mu Xiaofeng looked at him, pursed his lips and did not speak.

What kind of reasoning can I talk to a strange old man who doesn't understand the world, unless she is full and has nothing to do.

Ignoring the strange old man who was chattering and extremely dissatisfied, Mu Xiaofeng turned his head to look at the iron-faced Admiral of Jiumen, "Lord Yao, now that the evidence is conclusive, you can go in directly and escort people back to the yamen." ”

Yao Jiqing glanced at her, and said with some complicated emotion, "It's still the eldest lady who has a way." ”

If it weren't for the sound of the rumors after making a sufficient gesture, saying that the murderer had been found, this thing would not have gone so smoothly now.

Hide two drugs that are not poisonous in the belly pocket of the close-fitting body, and then use the gap between the front and back feet to pay homage to Mrs. Mu's birthday, so that these two colorless and tasteless drugs can be inhaled by Mrs. Mu without warning.

and then use a heavy fragrance of poison to cover up the real deadly poison, such an unbelievable and appalling method of selfish harm to others, probably only these crazy people with brains different from ordinary people can think of.

After that, without waiting for Mu Xiaofeng to react again, he turned around and walked out of the hut directly, and waved his big hand in the air in the alley, and after a while, two teams of heavily armed yacha immediately outflanked Mu Yongchao's mansion in front and back.

Mu Yunxue and Qin Xianglan had just fallen asleep when they were invited to prison by Yao Jiqing.

Next, Mu Xiaofeng thought about it and decided to go back to Mu Mansion first.

Although the suspect was found, she didn't think that with the brains of Mu Yunxue and Qin Xianglan, she could come up with such a method.

As for the aunt who suddenly came to the door, Mu Xiaofeng frowned and put this worry aside for the time being.

After returning home to freshen up a little and make some arrangements, she rushed to the yamen of the Admiral of Jiumen non-stop.

Yamen, in a dark prison.

"Miss, they're locked up inside." Yao Jiqing glanced at the calm girl, and the corner of his eyes involuntarily turned to the lonely and cold man like a jade tree next to her.

Mu Xiaofeng ignored his cautious attitude, and as for Chu Lige, who didn't say a word and had to come with her, she was not in the mood to take care of it.

Nodding at Yao Jiqing, he said, "Master Lao Yao asked people to open the door, I want to go in and talk to them." ”

Yao Jiqing waved his hand, and immediately a jailer came over and opened the prison door.

"Miss," Yao Jiqing glanced at the outstanding Chu someone, and reminded out of politeness, "Although they are women, no one knows if they will do anything crazy, we are outside, if you have something, just call out." ”

Mu Xiaofeng knew that his words were purely polite, but he also nodded appreciatively, "Thank you, Lord Yao." ”

Although Mu Yunxue and Qin Xianglan were arrested at the same time, they were locked in separate cells. She motioned to the jailer to open the cell where Mu Yunxue was first, and after a "bang" of metal impact, Mu Xiaofeng walked in leisurely.

There was only a gap of two or three hours, and Mu Yunxue, who was shackled and handcuffed at the moment, looked like a yellow flower that had been wiped out, and it was no longer bright and beautiful.

Although she did not appear to have any obvious external injuries on her body, her demeanor looked terribly wrong, like a dying old man sitting on the ground with his head hanging down.

When I heard the door open, I didn't even raise my head.

Of course, Mu Xiaofeng didn't rush over to see her miserable condition, let alone have any pity for her.

Frowning, she deliberately accentuated her footsteps and walked towards Mu Yunxue.

"Mu Yunxue, don't pretend to be dead for me." Walking up to her in a few steps and standing still, Mu Xiaofeng stared at her condescendingly, and said very calmly, "I only want to ask you one thing, who gave you the idea to harm my mother."

Of course, if you look closely, you may also see the ruthlessness in her bright eyes; If you listen carefully, you can even hear the violence and coldness faintly revealed under her calm tone.

It's just that Mu Yunxue, who didn't know what means Yao Jiqing had tortured before, was like a lifeless rag doll at the moment, hanging her head indifferently, and she didn't have a trace of reaction to her words.

"Play dead with me" The girl snorted coldly, even this cold snort sounded just faintly annoyed and not angry, "Then let me see first, if you are really not afraid of death." ”

She turned her head, Sen Ran's gaze wandered over Chu Lige, and after she didn't find any weapons in her hand, she immediately shouted outside, "Please send me a knife for the eldest brother." ”

Mu Yunxue, who sat on the ground and hung her head, seemed to be really indifferent to everything, no matter what she didn't give a hint of reaction.

After a while, the jailer came over with a sharp knife with a cold blade.

Mu Xiaofeng took it in his hand and blew it, and then he held the handle of the knife and lifted it to her chin, forcing her to force it, and Mu Yunxue had no choice but to raise her head.

But when she raised her head, her eyes, which had been lifeless and as dead ashes, suddenly lit up.

"Mu Yunxue, my patience is limited, if you really have the courage to see death as home, then I will fulfill you."

The cold, sharp blade slid from her chin to the side of her neck.

Mu Xiaofeng stared at her coldly, and the words were still beautiful, "Ask again, who gave you the idea to harm my mother."

Mu Yunxue didn't seem to hear her words, and she even forgot the cold and terrifying knife resting on her neck. Only opened his eyes wide, a pair of eyes that rekindled the light, and stared at the long figure that was close at hand, but still stood arrogantly like a distant snow-capped mountain jade tree.

His lips opened and closed several times, and his hoarse voice was full of choked grievances and surprises, "Your Highness, I was wronged, please save me." ”
