Shen Chen's eyes were slightly sunken, and he said, "Yueqin is delaying time. ”

"Procrastinating?"

Lin Xi looked confused, not quite understanding why.

Shen Chen closed Zhiyi and put it aside, poured Lin Xi a cup of hot tea, and said, "When Yueqin took away the list, the two brothers didn't know her identity. After several investigations, and when I received the news from the person above, saying that there was a traitor here, I knew that it was Yueqin. ”

But Yueqin has a special identity and has close contacts with officials, so they had to act cautiously and secretly met Yueqin first. Ke Yueqin said that the list was placed by her elsewhere and needed time to get it back, and on the other hand, she coaxed the county lieutenant to dedicate her to Yang Shizhong. ”

Lin Xi can understand Yueqin's approach very well: "If I were Yueqin, I would do the same." The list is so important that I won't believe they will let me go. ”

"Yes, Yueqin probably thinks so, so she deals with them."

Speaking of these, Shen Chen's eyes were cold.

He continued: "According to the man, it was inconvenient for Yueqin to leave, so she contacted a credible outsider to send it. However, this outsider did not have time to meet Yueqin in the county. ”

"Why?"

"Because this outsider has been killed by those two brothers, and Yueqin has seen each other's corpses."

"It can't be the female corpse we found in Yueqin's room!"

Lin Xi gasped and said incredulously.

Shen Chen nodded solemnly and said, "Exactly." When they found out the whereabouts of the woman, they rushed to arrest and torture her. But the woman didn't have a list on her, and she didn't know about it, she only said that she was desperate recently, and every time Yueqin wrote to her, she came to Yueqin. ”

"Unable to find anything, and she remembered her true face, they simply killed the woman and let Yueqin see it as a warning."

"Wait, when does Yueqin see it?" Lin Xi asked.

Shen Chen said: "It is exactly the day before everyone found the dead man, Yueqin saw it in the secret passage. ”

Lin Xi thought about it and asked, "Shen Chen, there has already been a death here, why does Na Yueqin dare to live in?" ”

Shen Chen said: "That person confessed that they asked Yueqin to live in so that it was easy to contact." ”

"I'm afraid Yueqin doesn't think so, she is willing to live in because she thinks it's convenient to escape, right?" Lin Xi couldn't help but say.

Shen Chen nodded and praised: "The lady guessed well, Yueqin didn't die, she just ran away." ”

After abusing and killing the woman, the two brothers went to Yueqin again and warned her not to play tricks. Judging from the time of the confession, it was the day before Yueqin escaped. She simply planned to escape, and exposed the female corpse, so that the government could investigate the two brothers, so that they would not have time to take care of her for the time being. ”

"It's just that what Yueqin didn't expect was that the forces behind the two brothers were all over the world, and they soon secretly bought the people of the government to cover up the past."

"The two brothers didn't expect that we would come and investigate the case. So they kill people and kill their mouths, and they kill servants and officials? "Lin Xi Road.

Shen Chen hummed.

That's what he found.

"Did the man confess the power behind him?" Lin Xi asked angrily.

In broad daylight, such a reckless murder is really too lawless!

Shen Chen shook his head, "I only left for a moment, and that person found an opportunity to grit his teeth and commit suicide." ”

"What? Isn't the clue broken?! ”

Lin Xi was startled and very stunned.

Shen Chen shook his head, "It's okay." I will go to Yang Shizhong later and ask him to send someone to track down the escapees, as well as Yueqin. ”

"But it's been so long, Yueqin must have disappeared without a trace." Lin Xi sighed, "There is also the person who escaped, and the possibility of finding him is very small." ”

Shen Chen's expression sank, "Yes." It's been so long, and the man who escaped has managed to contact the mastermind behind it. ”

Once the mastermind behind the scenes knows, that person will be killed eighty percent.

In all likelihood, they struggled to find only a dead body.

Lin Xi naturally understood this truth, but she was more worried about another matter.

She held Shen Chen's hand and said worriedly: "Shen Chen, the mastermind behind this scene may be that the five princes are against the party, and they may have colluded with the Hu people for a long time, so the other party must also know about Shen Zhonghan." If you let the other party know that you are here to investigate the case at this time, will you ......?"

Lin Xi didn't dare to say the latter words.

She was really afraid that Shen Chen would be targeted, and then someone would be unfavorable to him.

After all, they are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark, and they can't be guarded against.

What kind of means the enemy would use to deal with Shen Chen, they didn't expect it.

Shen Chen's heart softened, and his big hand was slightly forced, pulling Lin Xi into his arms and hugging him tightly.

He kissed Lin Xi's forehead and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, lady. When I promised Yang Shizhong to investigate the case, I had already said that he would not let my news be leaked. Even if outsiders check, they will only find a man surnamed Shen, and they will not find my superfluous news in Yang Shizhong's hands. ”

"Really?"

"Guarantee for my husband."

After Shen Chen's repeated affirmation, Lin Xi was relieved.

"By the way, lady, I still need you to do me a favor." Shen Chen said.

Lin Xi immediately said, "You say." ”

Shen Chen took out the box of rouge from his arms, and Lin Xi recognized it at a glance, this was Yueqin's box.

"I have found out from the proprietress of the rouge shop that Yueqin had given her two taels of silver and asked her to prepare dry food for her luggage so that she could escape. But this box of rouge has the ingredient of delphinium, I don't believe that the proprietress and Yueqin don't know each other, it's just a coincidence. Shen Chen said.

Lin Xi instantly understood what Shen Chen meant: "Feiyan grass is only available to the Hu people in the north. Do you suspect that this proprietress has something to do with the Hu people? ”

"Well, but her net worth is too innocent on the surface, and it is inconvenient for me to interrogate her like other prisoners without evidence." Shen Chen said.

Lin Xi smiled, "What's so difficult about this?" Have you forgotten that my wife and I are in the rouge business, and I also have dealings with the north? Shen Chen, if you put her back, I'll pretend to be a rouge vendor to trap her. ”

Shen Chen shook his head without thinking: "This is too risky. I originally wanted the people on my side to pretend to be vendors, and ask the lady to teach some common sense of rouge, so as not to wear goofs. ”

"But wouldn't I definitely not be able to goof?" Lam Creek Road.

Seeing that Shen Chen still disagreed, Lin Xi knew that he was apprehensive because of her disappearance last night, so he said, "That's it, let Wu Jiu follow me in disguise." ”

Shen Chen still shook his head, "Wu Jiu is the person next to Yang Shizhong. Yueqin has not only contacted Yang Shizhong, but also may be an accomplice with the proprietress, maybe she will tell the proprietress Wu Jiu by the way. ”

After all, Wu Jiu is a first-class master beside Yang Shizhong, and it is difficult for outsiders not to remember Wu Jiu when they are wary of Yang Shizhong.

Lin Xi frowned and refused to give up.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration: "Then let Old Man Lin come with me!" ”
