Chapter 239: Male and Female Assassins

With just one glance, Xiao Chen judged that Lin Shuran was lying, for the white-haired slave named Honggu, Lin Shuran would not know nothing, but she didn't believe herself now, so she didn't want to tell the truth, this cognition also made Xiao Chen feel a moment of loss, but he quickly adjusted his mood, Honggu's person is not simple, and he must let Lin Shuran stay away from this person in the future.

"Shu Ran, last night Prince Duan and Princess Qingyang of the Xia Kingdom were attacked, the other party was two assassins, a man and a woman, and these two people had extremely high martial arts, more than a dozen masters did not beat them, but both of them were also injured, and someone saw that the woman in them showed a strand of white hair." When Xiao Chen said this, he kept staring at the expression on Lin Shuran's face.

Lin Shuran also reacted quickly, she let herself try to stay calm, and deliberately smiled faintly: "Brother Xiao, you don't think that just this strand of white hair can conclude that it is my former slave Honggu, right? If this gets out, it can be big or small, I can't afford such a crime, someone can't deliberately let you discover the characteristics of the assassination, right? You also know that whether it is between me and Princess Qingyang, or between the Xia Kingdom and our mansion, there are contradictions, if you want to say that this assassination is related to us, I am afraid that someone will really believe it, and it is also a coincidence, Honggu just happened to leave the mansion, so let's do it, I will send someone to find out Honggu's whereabouts later, but Brother Xiao still has to arrest people based on real evidence, don't jump to conclusions."

Xiao Chen's eyes looked at Lin Shuran sharply, and found that she was facing herself frankly and naturally at the moment, although what she said also made sense, but the last time he tracked down the assassin of the princess's mansion, he felt very strange, these subordinates who suddenly appeared around Lin Shuran all had a habit of rivers and lakes, and it was definitely not the person Lin You was looking for her, and Xu Junze didn't seem to know much about these people.

In Xiao Chen's eyes, although the current Lin Shuran felt familiar and unfamiliar to him, and he was very alienated from him, she was always the gentle and simple little girl in his mind, and she was the easiest to be used by people with intentions, she didn't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts, and she couldn't completely distinguish between good people and bad people, that Honggu and the fifth uncle in her grange, and even the maid she was following now, were definitely not as simple as they behaved in front of her.

"Shu Ran, don't worry, I won't be sloppy in handling the case, if it weren't for the exact evidence, I wouldn't have come to the door today, you are just too good, you are not defensive against people, if you are not good to you, you must be a good person, I also hope that the assassin has nothing to do with your mansion at all, but if there is a relationship, you know my temperament, I will definitely not let go and not investigate!" Xiao Chen said with a firm look in his eyes.

Lin Shuran also became solemn, she looked at Xiao Chen and replied, "Brother Xiao, I understand the meaning of your words, and I also hope that you will find out the truth as soon as possible."

Xiao Chen left, Lin Shuran sat alone in the hall for a while, she was thinking about Xiao Chen's words just now, what was the "exact evidence" that Xiao Chen said? Isn't it bad for Honggu? There is also Xiao Chen who said that the assassin is a man and a woman, and his martial arts are extremely high, will this pair of men and women be the fifth uncle and Honggu? Otherwise, why did Honggu suddenly leave the General's Mansion and say that she would not come back for a long time?

"Lingqin, you immediately go to the southern suburbs Grange to see if the fifth uncle is there? Is Honggu also by his side?" Lin Shuran called Lingqin to her side and ordered, but before Lingqin turned around, she immediately said, "Don't let anyone find out when you go out, especially those who are hiding in the shadows!"

Lin Shuran knew Xiao Chen a little bit, judging from the tone he was talking to himself just now and the demeanor he observed himself, it was hard to guarantee that he was not deceiving himself just now, the purpose was to let himself take action, so as to find Honggu's whereabouts through himself.

She even deliberately asked Chunxi to take something to the fireworks kitchen, and sure enough, someone followed her secretly, and soon the fireworks kitchen was targeted, and the shopkeeper Jin also sent the news, saying that there seemed to be people from the criminal department in the shadows who were eyeing them, and Lin Shuran asked him to do business as usual and not care.

Near evening, Xu Junze took Manro back to the General's Mansion together, this time, Manro only took an hour to treat the injury on Xu Minghan's face, and told the two that the scars on Xu Minghan's face would grow after half a month, and then the gauze on his face could be removed, and at the same time, she also took out a bottle of black ointment, saying that after the gauze on Xu Minghan's face was removed, he would use this ointment to smear the scar, and his face would return to the same after the ointment was applied.

"Thank you, Miss Manroe!" No matter what Manro's intention was to heal Xu Minghan, or whether the method she used was right or evil, Lin Shuran felt grateful to her in his heart.

But Manroe had a cold look in his eyes and whispered in her ear, "If you thank me, stay away from him, you know who I'm talking about, he's mine, always has been!"

After speaking, she left without looking back, but Lin Shuran was a little stunned, yes, she knew who the person in Manluo's mouth was, but then Lin Shuran smiled helplessly, she thought that Manluo might have misunderstood, although Song Qinglun and Gu Jingcheng had exactly the same face, but whether Gu Jingcheng or Song Qinglun appeared in front of her, she, Lin Shuran, would not have the slightest affection for them.

After dealing with Xu Minghan's side and seeing him fall asleep peacefully, Xu Junze and Lin Shuran returned to their rooms, and both of them looked a little tired. z.br>

"Has Xiao Chen been here?" After returning to the room and washing up briefly, Xu Junze sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Lin Shuran who was disassembling the headdress, he got up and walked behind her again, and began to help her take off the beaded hairpin on her head one by one, with gentle and cherishing movements.

Lin Shuran pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, then nodded, and then told Xu Junze about Xiao Chen's intentions, but she didn't say anything after speaking, because even she herself was not sure whether it was Honggu and Fifth Uncle who assassinated Duan Wangye and Princess Qingyang.

During the day, she asked Lingqin to secretly go to the Grange, but she didn't find the shadow of the fifth uncle in either the Zhuangzi or the mountains, and later asked Zhang Tang, but he didn't know where the fifth uncle went, because Lin Shuran said that the fifth uncle could come and go freely, so he didn't care.

Honggu is gone, and the fifth uncle is gone, which makes Lin Shuran's heart even more uneasy, Xiao Chen said that the pair of male and female assassins were also injured, if it was really Honggu and the fifth uncle, where are they now? Is it really hurt? Is the injury serious? Is there a safe place to stay? These are the things she worries the most.
