Chapter 62: Arrival
Knowing that Yun Huannan was deliberately embarrassed, Su Ningxue had to follow. Shili Town, she had never been to it in her previous life, and this time, there are still many places to rely on Yunhuanan, and it is absolutely no good to fight against Yunhuanan at this time.
Early the next morning, she waited on time outside the Xianyou Palace, it was rare for her to be so obedient, the corners of Yun Huannan's mouth smiled shallowly, and she didn't say anything. A carriage in the south of Yunzhuan, and she followed behind in a carriage, and arrived at Shili Town in less than an hour.
Su Zhe got up early today, accompanied by local officials, to investigate the crime scene one by one, and when Su Ningxue and his party arrived, he was coming out of one of the crime scenes.
The lonely bird came over and whispered a few words in his ear, and he immediately led a group of officials to wait outside the town, and as soon as the carriage of Yunhuan South came into view, the group couldn't wait to meet it.
After all, it is a small place, and it is not easy to meet a big official like Su Zhe, and now the most favored virtuous prince in front of the emperor is here, who can take care of Su Zhe. Su Zhe had long been accustomed to such a scene, after running all morning, he was tired, and the lonely crane pushed him in a wheelchair, fell behind people, and slowly leaned over.
The carriage was surrounded by so many people and could not move forward smoothly, Yun Huannan had no choice, so he ordered to stop and get off the carriage, Su Ningxue followed closely behind, and she looked around for Su Zhe's figure as soon as she got out of the carriage.
"This girl, welcome to our Shili Town, I don't know who you are..."
The front cloud fold south was surrounded by people, and some people couldn't get in, so they came to Su Ningxue to brush their sense of existence, but it was brought by the prince, no matter how you think about it, the identity is not ordinary.
"What about Lord Su Zhesu?" Su Ningxue was too lazy to deal with these people, her eyes swept around, and she turned around and asked without seeing Su Zhe.
"Lord Su?" The person in front of him was stunned, as if he had only remembered at this moment that there was an important person who had been forgotten by them.
"Eh, Su, Lord Su is here, here." Responding a little embarrassedly, he didn't know why Su Ningxue was looking for Su Zhe, but the prince really couldn't even get close to a fly, so he had to take Su Ningxue to the town. When Su Zhe raised his eyes and saw Su Ningxue, he was slightly surprised.
"Lord Su." Su Ningxue rushed over, "Are you okay?" Su Zhe's face didn't look very good.
"Why are you here?" Su Zhe frowned slightly, and said that the emperor sent the seventeenth prince to come over, not mentioning Su Ningxue. Su Ningxue was afraid that he would think too much, so she hurriedly explained: "I came to assist in the investigation by the emperor's order, don't worry, I won't trouble you." ”
"Hmm." Su Zhe nodded, even though he didn't think that Su Ningxue would cause him trouble.
When Yun Huan Nan broke through the encirclement and came over, he saw Su Ningxue and Su Zhe standing opposite each other, Su Ningxue looked enthusiastic, and Su Zhe was cold, and couldn't help but think of Mo Xiao's investigation results, sure enough, Su Ningxue gave up the business of Jingling City because of Su Zhe and appeared here desperately.
"Humble Su Zhe, see the prince."
"Master Su doesn't have to be polite, this king is just coming to help, what do you need and tell Mo Xiao that it is the king's duty to help you close the case as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your humble position."
The two exchanged a few words, and also let the people around them understand that this time the matter is still dominated by Su Zhe, and no matter how favored the prince is, it will also support Su Zhe. Su Ningxue glanced at Yun Huannan gratefully, the last thing she wanted to see was that Su Zhe was treated coldly.
But he didn't know that Yun Huannan did this, just because he didn't want anyone to trouble him, he could come, but he didn't want to investigate on the spot, or even investigate.
To each his own needs, to each his own duty.
Because Su Zhe had just finished his errands, Yun Huannan and his party had never eaten, so at noon they were arranged by the mayor of the town to set up two tables in the largest restaurant in the town.
In the afternoon, Su Zhe wanted to sort out the case, and Su Ningxue accompanied him as an assistant, and at the same time instructed Liu Bucheng to find Yan Wuchen.
This time she came out, Ling Mo Sang's body did not recover, she brought Zhishu and Su Jin, Liu Bucheng is still responsible for protecting her, but Xu is familiar, occasionally Su Ningxue asks him to run errands, and he is willing to help.
Su Zhe's study is located in the wing room at the back of the restaurant, and Su Ningxue accompanied him to sort out the information collected in the morning one by one, indeed, there is no similarity between several cases, and there are not even any suspicious points worth investigating.
"What do you think?" Rarely, Su Zhe asked Su Ningxue first. Su Ningxue stared at a few pieces of paper on the table for a while, and said, "Not yet." But don't you think it's too strange? In such a small place, who is so leisurely and elegant, every time he commits a crime, he is specially designed to look different. ”
"So you think it's a person who committed the crime?" Su Zhe frowned slightly, and Su Ningxue shook her head, "No, I think it's a group of people, and they do it casually, and they are not prepared to hide anything." Now we can't find a clue, either they are too cautious, or..."Su Ningxue paused.
"They're experienced people, they don't have to be too deliberate, they don't leave any clues."
"Is there such a person?" Su Zhe asked rhetorically. His stay in the criminal department was not short, and he naturally came into contact with a lot of cases, and any case was handed over to him, he could find something to some extent, this was the first time, and he spent a whole morning without gaining anything.
Su Ningxue shook her head and said she didn't know. The sum of the past and present lives, counting the modern era, in a few decades, this is the first time she has investigated a case.
"I'm just analyzing it based on my feelings, and the truth depends on the follow-up investigation."
"By the way, what else do you have for the afternoon?" Su Ningxue asked again. Su Zhe's brows condensed slightly, his eyes fell on the pile of paper in front of him, he was an extremely patient person, he didn't believe that a morning's hard work would be fruitless.
"Do you want to stay in the house and continue to study these? Okay, I'll go out for a few laps, and I'll be lucky enough to bring you some news. Su Ningxue saw his mind and made a decision on his behalf.
In fact, she also hoped that Su Zhe would stay in the house, at least so that she didn't have to worry that Su Zhe would be exhausted.
Smiling softly at him, Su Ningxue left the room and closed the door for him. When she was far away, the lonely bird walked into the house.
"Young Master, do you need our people to investigate again?"
Su Zhe's gaze kept falling on the stack of papers, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and he said for a while: "Arrange for them to go to the scene of the crime in disguise." He wanted to believe Su Ningxue, but reason told him that he didn't need to.
He has been lonely for so many years, and he doesn't need to have more family bonds at this time.
"Yes." The lonely bird exited the house.
Su Ningxue lived in the other side of the restaurant, and when the lonely bird went out of the courtyard, she happened to see Su Ningxue change into a set of men's clothes and walk to the hall of the restaurant with Zhishu.
There were not many people in the hall at this time, so Su Ningxue found a corner and sat down, asked for a pot of tea, and listened to the people around her discuss what happened recently from time to time.
"Huh? Have you heard, I heard that these people who were killed recently have all been to Xiaohe Village before they died, this place in Xiaohe Village is really evil, since the year after the mountain was haunted, you say, but whoever has been there has a good result. ”
"Hey, if we don't have more than a dozen small villages, Xiaohe Village is the poorest. The mayor doesn't put money there, but you see, it's not a waste place, and it's not popular. ”
"Indeed."
A few people spoke, drank a glass of wine, smacked their lips and continued to eat.
Su Ningxue's eyebrows moved slightly, and she listened quietly for a while, called the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and took Zhishu to wander around the street. She didn't have a destination, she just stopped in a crowded place and listened to what everyone was saying.
As evening approached, she was a little tired and wanted to find a place to sit for a while, but suddenly she saw that all the storefronts were busy, and began to pack up her things inside.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, young man?" Su Ningxue grabbed the stall on the side. The man said, his men didn't dare to stop.
"Hurry back, you don't know that our Shili Town is haunted after dark."
Haunted?
Su Ningxue sighed in her heart, thinking that when she entered the palace, Yun Zhuhu suggested that she take Yan Wuchen with her, but she really didn't say it casually.
"Let's go, go back." Su Ningxue said to Zhishu, the two rushed back to the restaurant, Yan Wuchen was already waiting outside her house, and when she rushed in, Yan Wuchen greeted her with a smile.
"Miss Su, it's been a long time."
"Well, there's something to trouble you this time."
"Okay, okay."
didn't talk to Yan Wuchen in detail, Su Ningxue took him and went directly to Su Zhe's house. At that time, Gu Yu was reporting the situation to Su Zhe, and when he heard Su Ningxue knocking on the door, Su Zhe signaled Gu Yu to stop, and then opened the door.
"Brother, I got some news today, this is Yan Wuchen, you have seen it before, I brought him over, I really have something to tell you."
Su Ningxue stepped into the door, and this 'brother' blurted out naturally, Su Zhe's brows moved slightly, only Su Ningxue didn't realize what she was calling, and asked Yan Wuchen to sit down on the side, she first said that the discovery of going out in circles in the afternoon was basically the same as what Gu Yu reported before.
Then, she looked at Yan Wuchen again and suggested to Su Zhe.
"Since the people here are very superstitious, let's use the living immortals to change the rumors. I vaguely feel that the so-called haunting of Xiaohe Village is just a trick used by the murderer. ”
Su Zhe was slightly stunned, it was undeniable that Su Ningxue thought of going with him.
"However, Xiaohe Village is tired, and I think we will have to go there ourselves tomorrow."
Su Zhe nodded and said nothing. Su Ningxue froze there, and she didn't know what to say, but fortunately, at this time, Su Jin came over and knocked on the door, and said, "Miss, it's time for dinner, you see?" This means that if you send it to Su Zhe, she will use it back.
Su Ningxue subconsciously glanced at Su Zhe, Su Zhe's face was cold, and as usual, he couldn't see any change.
"Well, I'll go back and use it. Then don't bother Master Su. ”
Su Ningxue got up, and Su Zhe's brows moved again unconsciously.
She, call him Master Su.
In the South House of Cloud Folds, the dinner has been all arranged, and while Cloud Folds South is eating, Mo Xiao said about the investigation in the afternoon. Although Yun Huannan didn't care about this matter, it was the innate habit of every strong person to take everything into his hands.
In addition to the news that Su Ningxue and Su Zhe had already investigated, Yun Huannan's subordinates moved faster, and Mo Xiang personally ran to Xiaohe Village, and sent back the news in the afternoon: Xiaohe Village is depressed, the population is barren, and I don't know if there are ghosts in the back mountain, but there must be people hidden, as for who is still investigating.
"Lord Wang, should we tell Master Su?"
"Not necessarily. The royal brother raised these ministers for work, and if everything was done by the king, what else would he do for them. ”
"Yes."
Mo Xiao responded, Yun Huannan didn't seem to care, and after eating, he still explained, "Keep an eye on it, don't make any more trouble." ”
He has no intention of being in the limelight to solve the case, but killing people under his nose is never allowed.
