Zhao Wenxiu's eyes were originally red, but when he suddenly saw Qin Ran's comforting expression, his emotions surged all of a sudden, and he cried out on the spot: "Qin Ran, my brother was killed, he died so unjustly......"

Qin Ran was inexplicably frightened, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to hug her: "Okay, I know, the emperor has asked Dali Temple to investigate, and I believe that the murderer will soon be brought to justice." ”

Zhao Wenxiu cried very much, out of breath: "My brother is so good, who is it...... Who was so ruthless that they actually killed him? ”

After all, the person who died was her own brother who grew up together, and it was normal for Zhao Wenxiu to cry like this.

Among the girls of their official eunuchs, Zhao Wenxiu is the oldest, and her personality is relatively mature and stable.

In her impression, no matter what happened in the past, she was always the one who could keep her calm the most, Qin Ran didn't expect that when disaster struck, no matter how calm a person was, she would be shattered by the sudden grief.

Qin Ran was not very good at comforting people, so he could only cry loudly by Zhao Wenxiu by his shoulder, and then patted her shoulder to comfort her.

waited until she was almost crying, and then slowly let go of her arm: "Wenxiu, I came to ask you, do you know if your brother has offended anyone recently?" ”

"Impossible, my brother is so good, how can he offend people?" Zhao Wenxiu's nose was red, and he sucked a few times: "From childhood to adulthood, he was reluctant to step on even an ant, who in the whole capital didn't know that he was a good person?" ”

Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "I also know that your brother is very good, but the murderer will not kill him for no reason, it must be for some reason, so we must figure out these in order to find the killer as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Wenxiu was stunned for a moment, a serious expression appeared on his face, and he asked, "Qin Ran, why are you asking this?" ”

Qin Ran sighed, pursed his lips and said: "Your brother is a good friend of King Yan, King Yan heard about your brother early this morning and immediately went to Dali Temple to inquire about the situation, but simply waiting for Dali Temple to solve the case is estimated to be not so fast, he himself also wants to find out the truth." ”

"King Yan is also investigating my brother's affairs?" Zhao Wenxiu was puzzled.

"Yes." Qin Ran nodded, "He is your brother's good friend, and he was also greatly stimulated by your brother's death, when I went to the palace to look for him this morning, I saw that the corners of his eyes were red." ”

Zhao Wenxiu knew that his eldest brother and King Yan had some friendship, but he didn't expect that the friendship between the two of them was not bad, so he was inexplicably relieved, and asked, "King Yan said that he would help with the investigation, right?" ”

"Yes, not only King Yan, but I will also help him check it out." Qin Ran pursed her lips, put one hand on her shoulder and pressed it gently: "Wenxiu, you carefully recall, who has your brother been in contact with recently, has he offended anyone, or has he done something abnormal?" ”

Zhao Wenxiu realized her intentions, her eyes lit up for a moment, and then she reached out and wiped the remaining tears on her face, and recalled seriously.

She walked a few steps around Qin Ran's side, and said after a while: "My brother likes to study medical skills, usually he either studies medical books at home or goes up the mountain to collect medicines, or he goes to King Yan's Mansion to find King Yan, and he hasn't done anything unusual at all recently." ”

"What about that person, have you come into contact with anyone?" Qin Ran asked again.

Zhao Wenxiu furrowed his brows and continued to think for a while: "I don't know if I have been in contact with anyone, but I seem to remember one thing, a few days ago, he went up the mountain to collect medicine, and he was delayed in the mountains for a day, so he didn't go home until the next morning." ”

"A day in the mountains?" Qin Ran's expression froze, "Did your brother live in the mountains before collecting medicine?" ”

"Occasionally, I have to climb to the mountains to collect medicines, and it is normal to spend the night in the mountains." Zhao Wenxiu sighed lightly, "But before going out that day, my brother said that he would come back before dark that night, but he didn't come back that day, and he didn't come back until dawn the next day." ”

"Did you go to him?" Qin Ran felt as if he had discovered something, and asked again in a hurry.

"No, my brother has always been very measured, so my father and mother don't usually care much about him. That day, I heard that he was collecting medicine in the mountains and did not come back, so I just ordered the people in the house to say that they would report it when he came back. After Zhao Wenxiu finished speaking, a puzzled look appeared on his face: "Qin Ran, do you think my brother's death will have something to do with his late return that day?" ”

There must be a demon when something goes wrong, but Zhao Wenxuan also spent the night in the mountains when he went up the mountain to collect medicine before, and it was possible that he delayed his return home because of an accident that night.

"I can't say this either, but I'll tell King Yan and ask him to check what happened that night." Qin Ran's eyes moved back to her face: "Wenxiu, don't worry, with King Yan here, he will definitely give your brother justice." ”

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.

Zhao Wenxiu came back to his senses at this time, and suddenly sighed with some emotion: "Qin Ran, something happened to my family, you were the first friend to visit me, thank you." ”

"Say thank you and see the outside, as a friend, that's all I can do." Qin Ran reached out and touched her hair: "Wenxiu, don't be too sad, now that your brother is gone, you are the only reliance on your parents, you have to cheer up." ”

Zhao Wenxiu was suddenly stunned, as if she had just thought of something, and immediately held her hand tightly: "Qin Ran, thank you for the reminder, I know what to do." ”

-

I stayed in Shangshu Mansion for more than an hour, and it was already past noon when I returned to Yanwang's Mansion.

After running for most of the day, he couldn't even bother to drink saliva, so as soon as Qin Ran entered the door, he couldn't wait to go into the house to find water for himself to drink.

Qi Xiao looked at her actions, and couldn't help laughing inexplicably: "Qin Ran, the case has also been asked, and the Shangshu Mansion has also gone, you don't plan to go back to the General's Mansion yet, what are you going to do with me when you go back to the Palace?" ”

"Investigate the case."

Qin Ran found a pot of cold water on the coffee table in the study, took it and drank most of the pot, put it down and said: "Zhao Wenxuan is your friend, I know that you must be very sad when he dies, so I want to help you investigate the case together." ”

Qi Xiao was used to her putting the word "investigation" on her lips this day, and when she heard the words, she hooked the corners of her mouth and snorted lightly: "Why didn't I think you were such a enthusiastic person before." ”

"I'm only enthusiastic about you." If you are flirtatious, Qin Ran will come as soon as she opens her mouth.

After finishing speaking, he picked up the teapot and took another big sip, and after drinking for a while, he remembered and asked, "By the way, are you thirsty, do you want to drink a little too?" ”

Qi Xiao looked at the teapot she was holding in her hand, and a look of obvious disgust appeared on her face: "Don't you use a teacup to drink tea, twist the teapot and drink it directly, what kind of system is it?" ”
