The conversation echoed in my ears was bloody, horrific, even disgusting.

Except for Ling Lan, the others basically put down their chopsticks and listened, and the bold ones joined the topic to make remarks, and the timid ones had changed their faces and subconsciously covered their ears to avoid hearing.

Only Ling Lan's face did not change color, and she ate the dishes slowly, looking so out of place.

Therefore, Mo Ziyu gradually became unreasonable from the initial contemplation.

Finally, Ling Lan, who had eaten and drunk enough, put down her chopsticks and leaned back on the chair to wipe the corners of her mouth with satisfaction.

She must work hard, take good care of her stomach, protect her body, and immediately stay away from this industry and the mean man opposite after doing the necessary things, and enjoy life with high songs.

"Miss Ling."

"Huh?" Ling Lan responded lightly, gradually retracting her thoughts.

"I have a question, I don't know if to ask?"

Raising his head, he met the man's deep and complex eyes, Ling Lan shook his head without thinking about it: "Don't ask." ”

Let a sleeping dog lie!

Mo Ziyu: "..."

————

The mansion of the crown prince and master Lin Qingjiang, Ling Lan, who was standing outside the gate at this time, was very embarrassed because they were turned away again.

Her eyes became subtle as she watched the man.

Mo Ziyu's face did not change, and he stood straight on the ground with an indifferent expression.

After a while, Ling Lan sighed, "Do you want to go back first?" ”

"No, you don't." The man replied in a deep voice.

It seemed that he had a way to get in, but Ling Lan didn't know where he got his confidence.

I still remember the last time I was blocked out by Miss Qi, although I couldn't go in to talk outside, but at least I saw people.

And at this moment, there is not even a figure.

Another stick of incense passed, and Ling Lan completely lost her patience.

Just as she was about to go back first, the courtyard door on her side was suddenly opened, and she saw a little maid with a good face coming slowly, and saluted Mo Ziyu respectfully: "Lord Mo, please come inside." ”

Ling Lan was surprised, not knowing why.

The little maid led the way in front, and after stepping into the mansion, Ling Lan was always silently observing, this house is not very big, but the decoration is very gorgeous, and the eyes are full of carved beams and paintings, especially when you come to the study, it can be described as splendid... This is not quite in line with the style of literati and ink writers.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Lin." Mo Ziyu bowed his hand.

Looking at the man on the Taishi chair opposite, about fifty years old, wearing a blue regular clothes, his ordinary appearance was slightly haggard, with a trace of sickly paleness on his face, he didn't get up in the face of Mo Ziyu's salute, and directly ignored Ling Lan's existence.

Although she didn't ask much before, Ling Lan still had a little understanding of the position of the crown prince and the prince, and it was basically a false title, especially since the prince had grown up, he shouldn't need his earnest teaching.

"The old man occasionally felt cold and felt unwell, and he didn't want to see him for fear of infecting you, but you refused to leave for a long time, there must be something important?"

The voice was weak, and in the end, it was obviously unstable.

Ling Lan wondered in her heart, could it be that the other party was already terminally ill?

Mo Ziyu stood up straight, slowly took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lin, Xiaguan does have important matters, and I have to start with a tragic incident that happened in the capital this morning..."

Although Mo Ziyu did not add any color to his truthfulness, Lord Lin was still frightened, and the whole person got up from the chair and approached in three steps and two steps.

"You mean, the person who was skinned and killed was Zhou Ru from Yihong Pavilion?"

Looking at Lord Lin's reaction, the doubts in Ling Lan's heart became deeper and deeper, from the surface, the other party seemed to be very weak, but these few steps, even if it was a conditioned reflex, it would not be so stable and fast, that is to say, the body seemed to be fine, not a serious illness.

"That's right, it's Zhou Ru, after investigation, I learned that Zhou Ru's guest last night was you," Mo Ziyu paused when he said this, and his dark eyes fell on him and observed silently.

However, Lord Lin was instantly furious, and his facial features became hideous.

"Mo family boy, what do you mean by this?"

This, temperament is the prince's teacher? Ling Lan was skeptical.

However, the other party's reaction was obviously expected by Mo Ziyu, and he took two steps back unhurriedly to keep his distance from the other party, with an indifferent expression: "Then please ask Lord Lin to recall, when did Zhou Ru arrive at your house yesterday and when did he leave?" ”

Lin Qingjiang was furious: "Do you suspect that the old man is the murderer?" Who gave you the guts? ”

Compared with the other party's thunderstorm, Mo Ziyu was not afraid of danger, and said calmly: "Xiaguan naturally believes that Lord Lin is innocent, but the people don't know, due to the seriousness of the case, I hope you can tell the truth and strive to find the murderer as soon as possible." ”

Looking at each other, Lord Lin was full of anger and gritted his teeth...

After leaving the Lin Mansion, Ling Lan pondered Lord Lin's response.

The other party said that Zhou Ru was indeed in the house last night, but at midnight Zhou Ru suddenly said that there was something important to go back first, at that time, Lord Lin drank some wine and was a little drunk, and he didn't care when he was half asleep, and the maid also said that Zhou Ru left alone and walked through the side door.

In addition, the other party didn't know anything about it, and directly issued an eviction order.

"This Lin Qingjiang is really the teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Ling Lan questioned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Mo Ziyu nodded slightly, as if she had guessed her thoughts, and added a few more words.

"This was not the case with Lord Lin in the past, since the prince grew older, there were some differences between the two of them, and once the prince was angry, which caused Lord Lin's temperament to change greatly, and he has been addicted to wine since then."

Ling Lan thought thoughtfully: "You mean to say that the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Lin is not good at present?" ”

Mo Ziyu was silent for a few breaths, thinking: "It's not as serious as you think, it's just that Lord Lin is not interfering in the prince's affairs, he is old and ready to return to his hometown." ”

Ling Lan wanted to speak and stopped, faintly feeling that things were not as simple as the other party said.

"It's not too far from here to the place where Zhou Ru had an accident, right?" She asked suddenly.

Mo Ziyu, who was walking in front, paused at his feet, raised his finger and pointed to the alley in front of him: "There is a shortcut here, and you can get there in about a quarter of an hour." ”

Looking in the direction of his finger, Ling Lan strode forward: "Then let's follow this road and walk over and have a look." ”

Mo Ziyu's so-called shortcut is to go through the alley, and you can get to the back door of Yihong Pavilion after a few turns, and if you walk on the street normally, it will take two quarters of an hour.

However, when a woman walks at midnight, she basically will not choose a path, because the alley is dark and deep and cats and dogs will be frightened when cats and dogs suddenly burst out, but the street is different, at least it is spacious and has a wide field of vision, and it is safer.

Then why did Zhou Ru, who came out of the Lin Mansion last night, take the path? Was it the audacity to get back to Yihong Pavilion as soon as possible, or was there some unexpected situation that forced her to choose a path?
