Chapter 16: The Oath

She can also see the current form, all the people are on her side, in this case, she can only stop for a while, and she can't make trouble every day.

But this doesn't mean that she directly accepts her fate, she still thinks that this matter has an inseparable relationship with Shen Lian, and she also swears in her heart that she must avenge her son, and she must not let Shen Lian live so freely, and the slut of the Bai family must let their mother and daughter be punished as they deserve.

It's just that all this can't be rushed, she needs to think slowly and plan how to plan next.

For the two of them to die, she would rather pay all the heavy price, and she would not hesitate to do so.

Shen Lian has taken root here, and whenever there are large and small cases, she can quickly solve them, so everyone gave her a nickname, called Detective Goddess.

This name is not in vain, after all, she does have real talent and learning.

At noon one day, the county commander called Shen Lian to his side, looking mysterious.

Seeing him act like this, Shen Lian was also very surprised.

didn't wait for the exit to ask, the county order spoke first.

"That's right, Chu Xi, the prefect of the city, heard that you have excellent ability to solve cases, and wants to invite you to be a guest to chat."

"Is it just a guest?" Shen Lian was a little curious, she didn't know this prefect, and she didn't have any friendship and grievances, how could he invite herself over for no reason? Seeing that she was so smart, the county order did not hide it anymore.

"There is a case on his side, which is a bit tricky, and the murderer has not been found so far, so please go over and check and see if you can find anything."

After he said this, Shen Lian felt that it was very reasonable, and then nodded, and then asked, "What kind of case is it?" The county magistrate shook his head, "I don't know about this, and I need you to go and see for yourself to find out." ”

Without hesitation, Shen Lian agreed directly, but she couldn't get up right now, she still needed to make good arrangements, after all, there was still the Bai family, and she was not at ease when she was home alone.

Originally, they had some grievances with the Shen family, but now that Shenyang is dead, the Qi family directly blames all the things in this matter on them, maybe what kind of things will be done in a frenzy, just in case, it is better to make some preparations.

After going back, Shen Lian briefly told Yin Chen about the prefect calling him to go to the city.

Yin Chen agreed, which can also allow her to increase some popularity, and capable people will be valued wherever they go.

But at the same time, Shen Lian also put forward his hesitation, that is, the Bai family.

Knowing that she was embarrassed about this matter, Yin Chen said, "You can let Xiao Shi and Xiao Ba stay, although the two of them are young, their kung fu is still very good, and there won't be much of a problem with them here to protect your mother." ”

In this case, then Shen Lian will have no worries.

When they simply packed up and prepared to leave, Xiaoba rushed out and wanted to go with them, after all, their task was to protect Yin Chen, not others.

"You stay for the time being, we are going to the city to find the prefect, and it will be fine."

Yin Chen ordered.

Xiao Hachi naturally didn't dare to disobey the order, even if he didn't want to agree in his heart, he had to do it.

There was no transportation, so they had to go on foot.

Fortunately, the distance is not particularly far, and it will take about three or four hours to get there.

On the way there, Shen Lian talked about something he was more curious about.

"What the hell does your father do?" Yin Chen was full of questions about her suddenly asking such a question, "Why did you suddenly ask like this?" ”

"I feel like you're mysterious, and besides, I always think you're not ordinary."

Yin Chen smiled heartily and didn't give any explanation, because some things were not yet time to be said.

Seeing that he didn't mean to say anything, Shen Lian was also very interested and didn't continue to ask anything, anyway, it was someone else's business, and people didn't talk about it, so naturally it had nothing to do with her.

Not only was Shen Lian curious about him, but Yin Chen also had a lot of questions about Shen Lian.

"I don't think you're very old, how can you know so much about autopsies? It's not like you're supposed to be at your age, where did you learn it? ”

"I learned it from another world."

For her answer, Yin Chen couldn't help laughing directly, "If you don't want to answer, you don't need to say it, it's too outrageous to use such a lame excuse, right?" Shen Lian sighed helplessly, she didn't lie at all, but told the truth all the time, knowing that he wouldn't believe it, it was the same to explain so much, it was better not to say nothing.

Along the way, they stopped and stopped, staring at the blazing sun, and it took them a long time to get to the city.

The sun was a little scorching, making both of them slightly dizzy, and if it took a long time, I was afraid that both of them would suffer from heat stroke.

When they arrived at a noodle stall in the city, the two of them each ordered a bowl of beef noodles and began to eat.

After they had eaten and drunk enough, they set out and inquired with passers-by that the prefect's house was there.

After knowing the specific location, the two of them didn't waste any more time and rushed over directly.

When they arrived at the place, they had no way to get in because the door was guarded.

Shen Lian said directly to the guard, "Please inform me, I am Shen Lian." ”

After a while, the guard came out and went straight in with the two of them.

After the two of them entered, the prefect Chu Xi was particularly surprised when he saw Shen Lian, "You are Shen Lian?" Shen Lian nodded, "That's right, I am." ”

What Chu Xi didn't expect was that this maid was so young and a little girl, and after a few simple greetings, his eyes fell on Yin Chen who was standing next to him, "Who is this?" ”

"I'm her assistant, you can call me Yin Chen."

"Okay."

The prefect was very happy, and it seemed that the case that had plagued them for a long time was about to be solved.

Originally, the prefect wanted to take them to the place where the murder occurred and then go to see the corpse, but Song Qi politely refused, after all, they had only walked for so long, and they still needed to take a good rest, so if they went to work directly, I was afraid that they would be tired.

For such a request, Chu Xi still tried his best to meet it.

It could also be seen from their faces that the two of them were a little tired, so let them rest for a while, and then take them over when they had enough rest.

Because the room was limited, only one room was arranged for them.

When staying in the room, Yin Chen asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that the prefect will be angry?" ”

"What are you angry about? We are not his servants either, and after walking for so long, he doesn't even care if we are thirsty and hungry, and he comes up and asks us to solve the case, where is there such a thing, so we should have a good rest first, and then talk about the case. ”

In fact, if it were according to Shen Lian's original character, after coming, he would definitely go to see the corpse non-stop.

It's just that the prefect's attitude made her feel a little uncomfortable, obviously asking her to come over to help solve the case, but instead it looked like they should do it.

Not all people know how to respect people, especially those who have reached a certain level and have some status, this type of person usually pays more attention to their inner thoughts and ignores the feelings of others.

And for this kind of person, Shen Lian has always been extremely disgusted.

It is precisely because of this character that she did not have too many so-called close friends in her previous life.

It's because she won't be welcomed, and she doesn't participate in it, even if it's too obvious because she is not afraid of being excluded because of her own ability, but there are still some differences.

After a short rest, Shen Lian and Yin Chen came out of the room.

After they came out, Chu Xi also came over with an apologetic face.

"When the two of you came just now, I was a little snub about the case in a hurry, so let's go with me to eat something first, and then go to the case."

Regardless of whether what he said was sincere or perfunctory, it at least represented an attitude that made people feel less uncomfortable.

Song Qi hurriedly waved her hand, "It's still important to have a case, let's go over first." ”

This was naturally what Chu Xi was happy to see, and hurriedly took them over to take a look at the corpses that had been placed for several days.
