Chapter 64: Obstacles
"Well, go ahead, come back early. Don't wander around the palace, if you are taken by a son, I will lose more than I gain. ”
Lin Qingwan was in a better mood, so he began to joke about Tongquedao. Although she knows that she is willing to follow her all the time, her daughter's family always has to get married, and she can't keep her for a lifetime.
However, if you want to marry a bronze sparrow, you must first pass this hurdle yourself.
She doesn't ask for the rest, as long as the other party can truly love Tongque and is willing to protect her life, then she can easily marry Tongque, a virtuous person.
I didn't expect my young lady to be so improper, and it was not easy to refute it, but she hurriedly said: "Miss, you made fun of the copper finch again, the copper finch said that she would stay by the young lady's side for the rest of her life." Miss, don't push the copper sparrow away, the copper finch will not marry. ”
Staring at her with interest, Lin Qingwan let out a meaningful 'oh'.
didn't continue to tease her, after all, in the face of such a cute little girl, it was still necessary to stop in moderation.
After a few more words, Lin Qingwan began to think of a specific plan to catch the murderer of the strange case. What I just talked about with Dongjiadi is relatively simple, and if you want to deepen it, you must be more detailed.
In order to be taken seriously, in order to have the ability to take revenge, Lin Qingwan seems to have to study hard all night.
The conversation between Lin Qingwan and Emperor Dongjia was impartial, and it all fell on Lu Zhao, who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping.
She heard that Lin Qingwan had unveiled the emperor's list and was also summoned to the palace by her father, so she pretended to enter the palace to ask Concubine Rou for peace. In order to see what kind of fame Lin Qingwan wants to make, whether it will endanger his status.
Unexpectedly, it was to solve the recent strange case of beheading, although Lu Zhao didn't know why Lin Qingwan was so enthusiastic, she must have some premeditated plan. Is it to get the favor of her father because of this, so that Chu Fuyan can be impressed by her?
Fortunately, she listened to Lin Qingwan's strategy word for word, and she could make a good trip.
With a sinister smile, she sneaked out of Emperor Dongjia's bedroom again. She also told the guard at the door that she couldn't mention herself to anyone, otherwise she wouldn't make it easy for anyone who leaked secrets.
In Chu Mansion, Chu Fuyan didn't see Lin Qingjuan's figure for a long time, and he was inevitably a little anxious.
He knew that he had snubbed her in the past few days, and she must have been angry in her heart, and the housekeeper told him that Lin Qingwan would run out of the house if he had nothing to do. When I came back, it was almost evening, and I didn't have dinner with the people of Chu Mansion, saying that I had eaten outside.
Chu Fuyan was helpless, he knew better than anyone that Lin Qingwan was nothing more than hiding from himself. There is a bigger reason, that is, I don't want to see the picture of Lu Zhao and him together.
The sky gradually darkened, and Chu Fuyan politely refused Chu Yan and Shen Qing to have dinner together, but stayed in the front hall and waited quietly for Lin Qingwan to come back. Shouldn't you explain to her that there is actually nothing between him and Lu Zhao?
Frightened by his own thoughts, Chu Fuyan was really a little shocked. He really couldn't see his heart clearly, why did he keep a faint pain in his chest every time he saw Lin Qingjuan being injured and sad......
Could it be that his feelings for Lin Qingwan have long since changed from being used at the beginning to being sincere?
Headache to support his forehead, Chu Fuyan no longer forced himself to think about this problem. His light-colored eyes were fixed on the empty doorway, eager to see the familiar figure.
It was about half an hour after the pillar of incense, and Chu Fuyan finally saw a shadow slowly entering the Chu Mansion, and he didn't see if it was Lin Qingwan. He actually walked over quickly, a smile inadvertently rising at the corner of his mouth.
But when I got closer, I found that it was Lu Zhao who entered the palace to invite Concubine Rou back. The smile faded away, and the disappointment in his eyes was clearly visible.
"Husband, I'm back. Husband, but are you waiting for me?"
Lu Zhao was already overjoyed when he saw Chu Fuyan, and he couldn't see the change in his mood. The eyebrows and eyes had already smiled, and she couldn't wait to take out her true heart to him.
With a perfunctory 'um' sound, Chu Fuyan's eyes looked at the door through Lu Zhao, but Lin Qingjuan was still missing. I was so disappointed in my heart that I didn't have the heart to play with her at all.
"Now that I'm back, let's dine with my father and mother. I still have some things, so I won't accompany you. ”
Instead of leaving, he returned to his seat and continued to sit and wait for the person who made his heart and mind.
Chu Fuyan never saw Lin Qingwan, and there was a trace of anger. Did she not take care of her, but she was emboldened? If she didn't go home, did she want to be angry with him?
Seeing that his attention was not on his body, Lu Zhao found that he was empty and happy again.
Seeing that he looked like he was waiting for someone, she became more and more jealous, if she was not mistaken. That person must have stayed in the palace and waited for Lin Qingjuan to investigate the case, and no one except her would let Chu Fuyan be so concerned.
Unwilling to bite her lip, she stepped forward and pretended to care about Lin Qingwan and said: "Husband, are you waiting for your sister?" Just now I came back from the palace, and I didn't know that my sister unveiled the emperor's list and was about to solve the strange case of cutting off the head. The father naturally left her in the palace, so the husband still didn't have to wait, and the sister would not come back for three days. ”
Chu Fuyan frowned, it was really uncomfortable.
Didn't she know that if she couldn't solve the case in three days, she would fall to the ground? I really don't know what she had in her head, how could she have such an impulse to uncover the emperor's list.
As soon as he was about to ask something, a family member brought something that looked like a letter. After reading it, Chu Fuyan only felt that his anger had risen a little more, but he was helpless.
This is too nonsense!
Flicking his sleeves and leaving, Chu Fuyan felt that he had to go back to the room and be quiet alone, otherwise he might really be angry with Lin Qingwan.
Lu Zhao is naturally stealing fun, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, Lin Qingwan will only arouse Chu Fuyan's disgust like this. This is the best, and she has always occupied her place in Chu Fuyan's heart.
However, Lu Zhao will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity easily. What she needs is to delay the progress of the case, as long as Lin Qingwan can't solve the case for three days, she will definitely die.
Hehe, that's what she'd love to see.
......
Early the next morning, Lin Qingwan got up early and did not wake up the sleeping Tongque.
Last night, she was busy with herself until the second half of the night, and she also helped herself with a lot of advice. Presumably she was tired, so let her sleep a little longer. However, when she wakes up, she should stay here and wait for her to come back, right?
Ignoring so much, Lin Qingwan left a note for Tongque, telling her to wait for her to come back. Then he asked the people in the palace where the adults who participated in solving the case communicated the progress of the case.
The result was unexpected, it was in the Dali Temple outside the palace.
Shrugging helplessly, Lin Qingwan had no choice but to go to Emperor Dongjia first to ask for a token to enter and exit the palace, and then ask for a carriage. After all, it was impossible for her to walk over on foot, and she didn't know where the Dali Temple was.
When she entered Dali Temple, she found that there were already several adults waiting for her.
It was not rude, she stepped forward and bowed: "Your lords have been waiting for a long time, I think the emperor has already informed you that the little woman will cooperate with you to solve the case in the next three days." I look forward to your advice. ”
When they first heard that it was a woman who had joined, they were incredulous. But after seeing Lin Qingwan, they felt that the natural arrogance was not simple.
"Miss Lin laughed, we heard that the girl's strategy is ashamed. Without further ado, let's discuss how to solve the case. ”
These adults give Lin Qingwan the feeling that they are incorruptible, and it would not be a good thing if they could rely on them to solve the case.
Soon after nightfall, several people decided to take the easiest way that Lin Qingjuan said, which was to squat near the city gate of Bauhinia City for the night. The murderer will always show the true face of Lushan, after all, the corpse has hardly been broken in the past few days.
If they're lucky, they should be able to see the killer's modus operandi.
At the time of the third watch, everyone was already exhausted, and only a few were still sober. Lin Qingwan also insisted on not falling asleep, staring at the city gate for a long time, and felt a little ghosted.
But at this moment, a black shadow carrying something appeared in everyone's sight, which made everyone immediately sober up. Just like Lin Qingwan said, when the murderer shows his feet, it is when he puts the corpse.
"When he is about to hang the body at the gates, you rush out and catch him by surprise. ”
Lin Qingwan lowered his voice, not wanting to startle the snake.
However, someone shouted in the pitch black, alarming the murderer, and soon disappeared into the night like a ghost. The sack was still bleeding, and the corpse inside was also cut off.
Damn it!
almost scolded, Lin Qingwan and the others quickly ran forward. The murderer was long gone, and the victim's body must not have hung above the city gates, but the blood that flowed out still stained the ground.
"Who shouted just now? Didn't you say that you can't make a sound? This is already a startling snake, and it will be difficult to catch the murderer. We're running out of time, don't have any more problems next time. ”
Although she was very angry, Lin Qingwan still maintained her sanity and sobriety. She knew the shout wasn't from them, but she needed to be warned. This shows that someone has been obstructing her, preventing her from solving the case on time.
There are only two days left, and if you miss such a good opportunity tonight, the murderer will definitely be on guard. Lin Qingwan did not intend to be discouraged, but comforted himself and the exhausted officers and soldiers.
"Don't lose hope, we don't have no choice. As long as you persevere, there will be a day when the truth will be revealed. If the case hasn't been solved in two days, I hope you can continue to solve the case without me. We can't let the murderer continue to go unpunished......"
Such a fearless spirit, which is what a woman should have. The reason why Lin Qingwan is not afraid of death is because he has experienced it once, so why should he be afraid of doing it again?
After taking care of the bloody scene, everyone went back to rest. It is definitely not an accident that the plan was blocked this time, and Lin Qingwan could vaguely think of who it was.
