Lin Yingxue, like everyone, really didn't expect that the murderer would be Zhou Qingshu, and because the case happened in the imperial city, it was necessary for them to return to the imperial city and thoroughly sort out the case before Lin Yingxue could clear the charge, so now both of them are locked up in the prison of the Xuzhou government.

"Fifth Miss, I'm sorry, it's all my fault......" Zhou Qingshu's cell was adjacent to Lin Yingxue's, and after the two were silent for a long time, Zhou Qingshu mustered up the courage to speak.

It's just that Lin Yingxue smiled coldly and didn't accept Zhou Qingshu's apology, "Does Zhou Gongzi know how much I have suffered because of this simple 'I'm sorry'?" ”

Let's not talk about the injuries she suffered in prison, let's just say that after escaping from the prison of the Criminal Department, there has been no peace on the way, and she also risked her life to save Zhou Qingshu several times, but she never thought that the person who hurt her so much has always been by her side.

Zhou Qingshu looked at Lin Yingxue's indifferent face, and only felt that this was even more painful than sending him Ling Chi now.

"Fifth Miss is right, I don't deserve to be forgiven...... Zhou Qingshu lowered his head dejectedly, his expression desolate.

And just when the atmosphere was getting more and more sluggish, the guards outside suddenly walked in, "Let's go, it's time to get on the road." ”

The prison guard opened Zhou Qingshu's cell door and put shackles on him, it seemed that he was planning to escort Zhou Qingshu back to the imperial city.

Lin Yingxue thought that she was going to leave together, but another guard unexpectedly released her.

"What does that mean?" Lin Yingxue glanced at the prison guard, her face full of puzzlement.

"Back to the county lord of Yuhui, the Fifth Highness is waiting for you outside." The guard replied respectfully.

Seeing this, everyone is afraid that they have already tacitly acquiesced to her innocence. Lin Yingxue moved her stiff body for a moment, and walked out without looking back, not noticing the complicated eyes that Zhou Qingshu threw at her.

As soon as she got out of the prison, Lin Yingxue saw Murong Xun wearing a cyan robe, standing at the door waiting for her.

In a trance, Lin Yingxue remembered that vague years again - she said that he looked good in cyan, so Murong Xun asked someone to prepare a lot of cyan clothes, all kinds of cyan, the only thing that remained unchanged was the perennial cold and ice-like face.

Thinking of Murong Xun's face, Lin Yingxue suddenly sobered up, maybe she thought that gentleness had always been just a means for Murong Xun to pretend to please her, it was in the past, and it was even more so now.

"What do Your Highnesses want to do when you let me out?" Lin Yingxue's tone was cold, as if she was communicating with the enemy.

Murong Xun was originally in a good mood and instantly sank to the bottom because of Lin Yingxue's attitude, "Heh, does Miss Fifth think that Zhou Qingshu will sit back and relax if he surrenders?" Fifth Miss, don't forget, His Highness has not sent the news back to this matter, as long as His Highness thinks about it, His Highness can hide this matter and continue to send you to the guillotine. ”

"I believe that the Fifth Highness can do it." Murong Xun's indifference and ferocity have never played a role in Lin Yingxue's here, but after Murong Xun finished speaking, Lin Yingxue didn't even have any change in the arc of the ridicule at the corner of her mouth.

Looking at Lin Yingxue's indifferent expression, the familiar frustration came up again.

Murong Xun forcibly suppressed the urge to strangle the person in front of him, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness is going to investigate the matter of Yu Xiuxiang's mother and son now, and I believe that Fifth Miss should also be interested in this matter." ”

With that, Murong Xun walked into the distance without looking back.

And as Murong Xun said, she was indeed very interested in this matter, so after hesitating for a while, Lin Yingxue quickly followed Murong Xun's pace.

Coming to the abandoned Yu Mansion again, Lin Yingxue's heart no longer had the nervousness and expectation when she first came, she calmly and calmly checked all the corners of the house, trying to find something from it, but unfortunately the final result disappointed her.

"How's the examination of the bones?" When Lin Yingxue came out of the room, the officers and soldiers had already dug up Yu Xiuxiang's body buried in the backyard.

Hearing Lin Yingxue's question, the servant stood up and said, "The deceased is a middle-aged woman in her forties, the cause of death is lung disease, the bones are generally intact, and there are no other external injuries, so the possibility of his killing is ruled out." ”

Not much different from the result Lin Yingxue expected, Lin Yingxue swallowed the disappointment in her eyes, and then asked, "Where are the bones of the son of the Yu clan now?" ”

According to what Liu Zhen said at the time, Yu's son was killed in the house, and Yu's house was turned into a mess, as if something had been stolen, so in this case, they should investigate Yu's child.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Lin Yingxue's words, the officers and soldiers all frowned involuntarily, "Fifth Miss, as far as we know, the son of the Yu family is not dead, but missing. ”

"Missing?" Lin Yingxue was a little surprised by this, "But I heard a person say that he saw the son of the Yu family killed at home, and the Yu house was also stolen, hasn't the government handled this case?" ”

"No, it did seem that the Yu Mansion was stolen at that time, but the people in the government did not find any trace of the Yu family's son after they passed, and there didn't seem to be any valuable things lost in the Yu Mansion, so the government later closed the case."

Because Murong Xun passed on the order to go down and said that the case would be investigated, the leading officers and soldiers specially looked through the case file, so when Lin Yingxue asked about the matter, the officers and soldiers answered exceptionally smoothly.

That's the case, but if you can't find the body of Yu's son, it can't prove that Meng Yi is a fake, so this trip to Xuzhou is basically in vain...... Lin Yingxue frowned and lowered her head, looking faintly anxious.

Murong Xun noticed that Lin Yingxue was in a bad mood, so he said lightly: "You search this mansion again to see if there are any clues that have been missed." ”

Hearing that Murong Xun meant to leave, Lin Yingxue turned her head and glanced at Murong Nanxun, and sure enough, seeing Murong Xun Gu walking out, although Lin Yingxue was a little reluctant in her heart, she still had to follow.

After leaving the Yu house, there were actually a lot of people around the door of the Yu house, presumably all of them were watching the people from the government come over, so they gathered to see the excitement.

Lin Yingxue walked through these people and was about to leave with Murong Xun's steps, but she accidentally saw an old woman in the house next door also poking her head towards Yu Zhai, but after seeing her and Murong Xun come out, she quickly retracted her head.

Lin Yingxue thought about it, turned around and walked to the house and knocked on the door.

"Who?" After a long pause, the door was opened with a small slit, and in the gap there were a pair of cloudy eyes looking out cautiously.

"Hello mother-in-law, I'm from the government, I have something to ask you, can you open the door and let us go inside to sit?" Lin Yingxue softened her tone, and even the momentum on her body became much softer.

It would be nice if the person in front of him could put away all the thorns on his body when he got along with him...... However, Murong Xun was just thinking about this idea.

"Come in." Xu saw that Lin Yingxue had a kind face, not like a bad person, and the old woman opened the door after hesitating for a moment and let Lin Yingxue and the others enter the house.

This house is not big, and it is even smaller than the Yu house next door.

After Lin Yingxue looked around, she already had a plan in her heart, and she tentatively said, "Mother-in-law, do you live alone?" The house next door has had a dead person, and it is so close to your house, aren't you afraid of being alone? ”

"My wife is doing right, sitting upright, what is there to be afraid of!" The old woman quickly replied, "But if you have any questions, please ask them quickly, my wife is still in a hurry to cook!" ”

When the old woman said this, Lin Yingxue obviously felt that the person in front of her seemed to be a little dodgy, Lin Yingxue secretly took in the old woman's wrongness, but said quietly on her face: "Actually, it's not too big, it's just that Mrs. Yu's child is a relative of an adult, this adult recently wants to find Mrs. Yu's child, but the sea of people is vast, we don't know where to look, and I don't know if Mrs. Yu's child told your mother-in-law anything before leaving here?" ”

Hearing Lin Yingxue mention the son of the Yu family, the old woman began to feel a little wrong.

Lin Yingxue had been observing the old woman's movements carefully, and saw the old woman's hands rubbing the corner of the table with some uneasiness, as if she was hesitating about something.

After a long pause, the old woman seemed to murmur, "That child is a good boy, and he used to talk to me often to relieve my boredom, but I'm afraid you won't be able to find him......"

"Can't find him?" Lin Yingxue felt as if she had caught something, she leaned forward and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "What does mother-in-law mean by this?" ”

"I'm ......" the old woman's body began to tremble, her eyes looked into the void, as if she was thinking about something: "Our two families are close to each other, and if there is usually a little wind and grass, we can hear ...... on both sides."

"The night before the child's 'disappearance', I woke up in the middle of the night and heard movement in the courtyard next door, so I leaned over and listened, it seemed to be the sound of a fight, and then there were footsteps that seemed to be going into the room."

"I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and went back to my room, but I remember that there was movement in the middle of the night, as if someone was coming again...... When I tried to ask the child about the night the next day, the child was gone, and the house was in a mess......"

"The most important thing is that there is a big blood stain in the yard, and there is also a small piece of blue cloth...... I remember when I saw the boy the day before, he was wearing a blue robe......"

That is to say, the son of the Yu family is probably already dead, but the body has been transferred!

Finally found some useful news, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but show a hint of joy on her face, "Mother-in-law, I'm bothering you, if there are still problems, maybe we will bother you again." ”

Lin Yingxue glanced at Murong Xun, who was originally standing aside like an ice cube without saying a word, but quickly understood and followed Lin Yingxue out of the door.
