Xiao Lan then asked, "How did the third prince die?" ”

Fu Yanzhi: "It's the same as the previous deceased. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Lan's expression instantly became heavy, the reason why the previous murder involved strange forces was because of the strange death.

Xiao Lan asked in a deep voice: "There are eyewitnesses this time." ”

Fu Yanzhi: "Yes, it's the guard of the third prince, seeing that he hasn't come out for a long time, I went in to check, by the way, there is a difference in the body this time, that is, there are obvious external injuries on the body, and it should have been beaten before his death." ”

Xiao Lan: ......

Nguyen Ning: ......

Just when the two were silent, a team of the emperor's personal guards came over in the distance, a total of 100 people, all of them were the top masters in the brocade guard, under the direct control of the emperor, and would only be sent out under special circumstances.

Now that the prince is dead, it should be regarded as a major event.

The guards were ordered to investigate the death of the third prince, and they had the right to investigate anyone, and the prince was naturally no exception.

The leader asked Xiao Lan: "Now I want to count everyone's activity timeline, and please tell me where you have been tonight and who you have seen?" ”

This question is really a bit tricky, Ruan Ning's experience is not easy to say, she also kicked the third prince, Xiao Lan is even more difficult to say, he also did it.

Two seconds later, Ruan Ning and Xiao Lan glanced at each other and blurted out:

"I've been with him tonight."

"I've been with her tonight."

After finishing speaking, Ruan Ning almost wanted to high-five Xiao Lan, and sure enough, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

In this era, there is no surveillance and no cameras, and the water pavilion is desolate, it is not difficult to lie, Liu Qingqing's woman suffered a loss in Xiao Lan, and naturally she will not shake out the matter of the two meeting.

Ruan Ning and Xiao Lan insisted that the two of them had been walking by the lake.

The people of the pro-guard army glanced at the two of them, recorded them and left, in fact, they also knew that they couldn't ask anything, after all, the focus now was not to check the person, but to find out the strange cause of death.

After the guards left, Fu Yanzhi glanced at Ruan Ning meaningfully and left. I don't know if it's Ruan Ning's illusion, but I always feel that his eyes are hostile.

A wave of people left, a wave of people came, and within two seconds of stopping, Pei Jing took the people of Beizhen Fusi, and Qin Huai came with the forbidden army.

Pei Jing still looked like a hanger, and teased: "General Qin, the newlywed Yan'er, is not at home and has a lot of affection, why did you come here." ”

Qin Huai sneered in his heart, since he became a parent, he couldn't even sleep in bed, the affection of the fart, of course, these words can't be said to the outside world, just Pei Jing, it's strange if he doesn't laugh at him.

Thinking of this, Qin Huai cleared his throat and said: "Who is like you, there is nothing else in your mind except women, if such a big thing happens tonight, the noble concubine in the palace is afraid that she is going to make a fuss, if she doesn't come tonight, she won't be there tomorrow." ”

This is true, today's banquet is held by the queen with full authority, and something happened to the third prince here, and things are not so simple.

Pei Jing nodded, his eyes turned, and then he noticed that there was a girl standing behind Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan was tall and had broad shoulders, and Ruan Ning was hiding directly behind him, so he didn't see it just now.

Pei Jing hooked his lips: "Yo, it seems that the blind date of the prince is going very well." ”

In vain, Xiao Lan usually dislikes him, his vision is not the same as him, he is still a big beauty.

Ruan Ning stood uncomfortably, walked out of the shadows, laughed awkwardly, and greeted the two: "Hi, hello." ”

The light was dim just now, Ruan Ning's facial features were not very clear, and her current demeanor and temperament were very different from before, Pei Jingcai didn't recognize it, and at this time, he suddenly remembered where he had seen Ruan Ning: "You are the girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" ”

Even Qin Huai, who was nervous, noticed it: "Isn't that the fiancée of the third prince before?" ”

The fake daughter made a fuss, and he also listened to it.

As soon as these words came out, Ruan Ning's situation became even more embarrassing, and she nodded weakly: "Yes, it's me." ”

In the strange silence, Xiao Lan pressed his forehead irritably, there was no time to interrogate Ruan Ning tonight, he said in a cold voice: "Okay, it's none of your business, let's go first." ”

Ruan Ning also wanted to stay away from Xiao Lan, but ...... She pointed to the guards not far away: "They don't seem to be allowed to go, I'll follow you first." ”

Speaking of this, she paused, tiptoed into Xiao Lan's ear and muttered: "I just said that we have always been together, will we be suspicious if we are separated now, and I am afraid that if they turn back and ask questions later, we will not have time to make a confession." ”

Of course, this is the reason, but the main thing is that the outside world is too dangerous, although Xiao Lan is a little fierce, he can suppress the demons and monsters at a glance.

Xiao Lan felt that it was reasonable after hearing this, so he didn't care about her anymore.

Although Pei Jing and Qin Huai hurriedly came over, they didn't have anything to do, after all, His Majesty had already handed over the power to Jinyiwei to do it, although there was nothing serious, but it wouldn't work if they didn't come, and when the time came, they would be impeached by someone with a heart, and it would be miserable to give them a hat.

Pei Jing sighed: "Hey, it's really difficult to be an official, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well this month." ”

He stretched, paced to Ruan Ning's side, and raised his chin towards Xiao Lan: "By the way, how did you meet him?" I heard that you have a soft spot for the third prince before, why did you change your mind so quickly. ”

Pei Jing asked casually, but Ruan Ning beat a drum in his heart, this person didn't look out of tune, and he knew how to help his brother probe her details.

Ruan Ning smiled calmly: "People can change, I have nothing to do with the third prince for a long time, and besides, I have nothing to do with the prince." ”

Oh, playing dumb riddles with him, saying it means not saying it, Pei Jing sighed secretly: This woman is not simple.

Next, Xiao Lan communicated with the two about what happened before, and when it came to Liu Qingqing, Pei Jing was shocked: "You said that she deliberately seduced you, but in fact, you don't know anything?" No, how did she know you were coming? ”

Xiao Lan glanced at him: "You have an informant, and no one else has?" Besides, her whereabouts were mysterious a while ago, so she must have been brewing this matter. ”

Pei Jing shook his head and said, "Tsk, it seems that the clue has been broken again, but it really doesn't matter if you two are there, Bai makes me excited." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Huai's people came back to confess, and he immediately said: "I inquired clearly, the death was the same as the previous few people, there were candles and white cloth strings on the ground, and those strange symbols, the cause of death was suffocation, there were eyewitnesses, I saw that the third prince was still walking around the house for a second, and then let out a miserable scream, and when he entered, the person had been strangled, and the two ends of the rope were still in his hands." ”

"You came over there, at most a pillar of incense, the murderer can do this in a short time, he must have been prepared."

These details have long been spread throughout the capital, so Qin Huai didn't hide them when he said it.

Ruan Ning heard for the first time that the original owner really didn't hear anything outside the window.

She suddenly felt familiar when she listened to it, the figure on the door and window, the white cloth string that appeared inexplicably, was still alive one second, and dead the next.

Ruan Ning muttered to himself: "The shadow can't prove that the person is still alive, maybe it's all a trick, the candlelight magnifies the white cloth to create the illusion of the human figure, and the person is estimated to have died a long time ago." ”

As soon as the words fell, Pei Jing and Qin Huai, including Xiao Lan, all turned around to look at her, although Ruan Ning's volume was not loud, it was closer to talking to himself, but the people who practiced martial arts had excellent ear power, and the three of them heard it clearly.

Ruan Ning looked at the horrified gazes of several people and felt his throat tighten: "What...... What's wrong? ”
