It was the golden autumn, and the evening maple at dusk was illuminated by the brilliant glow.

Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a sea of fire and a sunny sky.

In Shen Ningning's princess mansion, she and Mo Lingwei secretly entertained Mrs. Shu.

"Auntie, you can rest assured now." Mo Lingwei sat beside Shen Ningning and looked at Mrs. Shu who was a little sad opposite.

Since Mrs. Shu is no longer the princess, thinking of the past friendship, Mo Lingwei still respectfully calls her aunt.

Not long ago, Mrs. Shu asked someone to bring a message to Mo Lingwei, hoping to meet Shen Ningning in private.

Mrs. Shu asked her henchman to take out a incense box.

"Ning Ning, before you investigated the case with your second brother, I heard that there is a musk-based spice 'poppy', which is one of the keys to the case."

"Can you help me take a look, is this spice the 'poppy' you call it?"

Shen Ningning glanced at it and sniffed it again, and sure enough, it was the familiar smell.

She nodded suddenly, and saw that most of the box of 'poppies' had been used.

"Mrs. Shu, is this your own?"

Mrs. Shu shook her head, her brows furrowed even deeper: "It's Zhirou, I asked people to find it in her room, she didn't like this spice before, and she only started to use it recently." ”

Musk is expensive, and poppies who use musk as the main ingredient are not cheap either.

But Mrs. Shu is quite indulgent and pampered to her adopted daughter, as long as it is not an out-of-the-ordinary request, Mrs. Shu will satisfy Su Zhirou.

Shen Ningning's eyes were calm and clear: "But just one spice can't show that she has anything to do with the case." ”

"Not only that," Mrs. Shu had deep worry in her eyes: "I interrogated the maid beside her behind my back that day, and I learned that on the day I set up a banquet for her to apologize to Vice General Zhang and his wife, the maid had heard a man's voice coming from her house. ”

Shen Ningning was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Mo Lingwei.

"Really?"

"The maid doesn't dare to lie, the ones arranged to serve by Zhirou's side are all carefully selected by me, she paid attention to it twice, and found that every time this man comes, he can accurately avoid the patrols and guards in the mansion, I am a little worried, what kind of villain will he be?"

Mo Lingwei's thin eyes hung down with cold darkness.

He said: "If Su Zhirou is the internal response, it makes sense to tell the other party when he will come and not be discovered." ”

Mrs. Shu sighed: "I'm afraid that this is the case, I didn't raise her well, so that Zhirou became a little vain, I'm just afraid that for some reason, she will do something out of the ordinary, hurt herself and hurt others." ”

Shen Ningning comforted: "This has nothing to do with you, you have given her the best of everything, but she is not right-minded." ”

"Auntie, you don't need to worry, we will pay attention to this matter secretly." Mo Ling shook his head.

Several people discussed for a moment.

The maid who served Su Zhirou said that since the case in Qi Mansion, the strange man has not appeared again.

For the sake of safety, Mo Lingwei secretly transferred a team of prince's personal guards and replaced them with the family members in the Su Mansion to keep an eye on them.

After going back, Shen Ningning told Xie Ming'an about Mrs. Shu's discovery.

At that time, Xie Ming'an was pacing back and forth in his study.

There is one thing that he has never figured out, who is Lord Qi doing things for, and he does not hesitate to pit his daughter to achieve his goal.

Even if Master Qi was now arrested in prison and tortured several rounds, he did not let go of his mouth to confess the truth.

He kept saying that he killed his mother so that his wife and daughter would be freed from the torture of their evil mother.

But he had a lot of opportunities to do this, but he had to choose to do it now, and he used the lily of the valley cream that Qi Xiuwei had ordered, which showed that he always knew that his daughter was poisoned.

All kinds of mysteries, coupled with the fact that Lord Qi only wanted a quick death, made Xie Ming'an smell that something was wrong.

"Stinky second brother." Shen Ningning shouted and entered his study.

The girl was almost stunned by the mess in the study.

The floor was covered with paper, and all kinds of clues were written, and the related clues were connected by the cinnabar red pen.

On the wall is the grievances of the Qi family.

On the other wall, Qi Xiuwei was revealed to be the ten princesses of Changliu Kingdom.

Xie Ming'an also wrote his own questions.

[Why is it so coincidental that my sister fell, and the jade fell on Qi Xiuwei's blood. 】

[The child born to Mrs. Qi back then was really a dead baby? Who can prove it? 】

There are also many books he has found, in order to find some useful knowledge.

For example, what jade can absorb human blood.

The entire study was plastered with the materials he had gathered.

The only place where he could walk was the three inches or so under Xie Ming'an's feet, and he paced back and forth, thinking seriously.

Seeing Shen Ningning coming, Xie Ming'an suddenly relaxed the seriousness on his face.

"How many times have you said it, little sister, call me a good second brother, second brother Xiang, just don't call me stinky second brother, your second brother and I are thinking carefully about your friend's case."

Shen Ningning was afraid of stepping on these clues from him, so he could only stand at the door.

The girl muttered: "No matter how urgent this matter is, it will not be found out immediately, you haven't eaten for a day for this case, Daddy said let me leave you alone, but I'm afraid that you will go crazy, look at you like this, so many clues, aren't you going to drive yourself crazy?" ”

She beckoned: "Stinky second brother, you come out to breathe, don't be stuffy!" ”

Xie Ming'an held his hand, his fair face full of confidence.

"The more difficult the case, the more interested I am, I must find out, otherwise I will smash the signboard."

"Little sister, go back, I'll think about it again."

Shen Ningning could only leave the box of poppies given by Mrs. Shu.

"Why did you send another box?" Xie Ming'an picked it up and looked at it and sniffed it.

Shen Ningning spread his hands and said helplessly: "It was found by Mrs. Shu, the box of 'poppy beauty' in Su Zhirou's room that has not been used up, maybe it will be of any help, second brother, you check it carefully, I will go to see my brother boxing." ”

The girl jumped away.

Xie Mingan was about to stop her: "What's so good about big brother, forget it, I'm not busy anymore, I'll accompany you to take a break first." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he keenly saw that this box of poppies was different from what he had seen in the spice shop.

There seems to be some silver powder mixed in with it that is not easy to notice.

Xie Ming'an immediately walked to the table and picked up some tools to study.

Shen Ningning originally heard that he had come back.

Standing at the door and seeing the second brother of the detective fool starting to be busy again, the girl shook her head helplessly.

That's it!

Let's go to Brother Brother!

After Shen Ningning left, Xie Ming'an kept himself locked in the study.

When the door was closed, there were occasional clanging noises in the study.

The little guy outside was guarding the door, and when he heard the strange movement inside, he was really afraid that their second young master would go crazy in order to handle the case.

Until the sky turns white.

Suddenly there was a loud laugh in his study.

"I see! I see! I understood, I finally understood how they did it! ”

In the next second, the door of the study was slammed open.

Xie Ming'an laughed and grabbed a piece of jade and a spice box, and there was a thin stream of blood flowing from his left hand, which snaked all the way to his wrist, and he didn't care.

Instead, he rushed to Shen Ningning's yard.

As soon as he walked to the door, he found that his eldest brother Xie Mingxu had been pacing back and forth outside the courtyard for a long time.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?"

Xie Mingxu was dressed in a brown and black suit, with a high ponytail and a calm and cold face, and glanced at his scribbled younger brother like Erha.

He frowned slightly: "I'm waiting for my sister to get up and take her out for breakfast, she wants to eat the Feng Shop wonton on the corner, but you, why did you make this ghost?" ”

Xie Ming'an laughed: "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, when my sister sees me, I don't want you, big brother should go eat wontons by himself." ”

Xie Mingxu's sword eyebrows furrowed even deeper, and his fists clenched: "You have itchy skin?" ”

Xie Ming'an couldn't tell him clearly for a while, and with the bleeding hand, he rushed into the courtyard.

"Little sister, wake up and tell you good news!"

Shen Ningning heard the noise outside and opened his eyes in a daze.

"Who's so noisy? Is it that the group of magpies I fed before are coming to eat again? The girl rubbed her eyes and sat up.

Like a waterfall, the black hair falls down, hanging down on the waist, and the palm-sized little face is white and delicate, revealing the pink that has just woken up.

Late spring came from outside: "Oh no, princess, the eldest young master beat the second young master!" ”
