Shen Ningning was worried about Lu Shaoyuan. After thinking for a long time, she decided to follow her second brother to Dali Temple.

Mo Lingwei naturally wanted to accompany him.

By the time they arrived at Dali Temple, Jiang Shanglong and several of his deputies had already been brought by the officers and soldiers.

Jiang Shanglong's hands were twisted behind his back. Before he entered the door, Shen Ningning heard his yelling.

"How could I harm Second Young Master Lu! How is this good for me? I just wish he would take over my business as soon as possible!"

As soon as he entered the interrogation hall, Jiang Shanglong saw Lu Shaoyuan sitting there with a pale face, and immediately said: "Second Young Master Lu, you can't do this kind of business. We have a good talk. If something happens to you, you will drag me into the water immediately. This is so inappropriate!”

Lu Shaoyuan stood up: "I don't even know who did it. Everything will be clear only after cooperating with Dali Temple's investigation."

Jiang Shanglong was very angry. Xie Mingan asked Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei to sit behind the screen to avoid attracting attention.

Then, he walked out from behind the screen. As soon as Xie Mingan appeared, Jiang Shanglong's voice subconsciously weakened a bit, and the hall was filled with a serious cold breath.

Xie Mingan was wearing an official robe and sitting in the highest position, with the words "mirror hanging high" behind him, which further increased his majesty.

"This case is difficult, so I won't talk nonsense. Jiang Shanglong, I will ask you a few questions, and you must answer them truthfully."

"Sir, please speak!"

"Second Young Master Lu said that when you left yesterday, something urgent suddenly happened. Since you said that you attach great importance to your cooperation with Second Young Master Lu, what kind of urgent matter did you leave early?"

Jiang Shanglong's expression froze, and he lowered his head subconsciously: "Can this matter be explained to the adults in private? It concerns the little granddaughter of the family, and it is really not appropriate to make noise in the hall."

Xie Mingan pursed his thin lips and said coldly: "This is an investigation, not an alley connection. If you don't tell me, this crime will not be cleared."

Jiang Shanglong was frightened when he heard this. He was already in his twilight years, how could he let such a thing ruin his lifelong reputation.

"My little granddaughter... wanted to elope with the servants of the family. She was discovered when she was running away. She was seeking death and survival. The family couldn't control her, so they asked me to come home and make the decision."

At the end of his words, his voice gradually dropped, accompanied by a sigh.

If something like this happened, he couldn't leave even if he didn't want to, and he didn't even think of announcing it in the hall. It would be a scandal to the family.

Xie Ming'an nodded clearly, took out the brochure just handed over by his subordinate and took a look at it.

"Do you know Shu Yan?"

"Who?" Jiang Shanglong frowned and didn't even react. He looked around at the deputy shopkeepers who came with him. They all shook their heads and looked puzzled.

Xie Ming'an put down the book, his dark eyes were solemn and majestic: "Shu Yan is one of the deceased. I dined with you last night. She claimed to be responsible for pouring wine and serving, and she usually stays with you."

As he said this, fearing that they would not recognize her, Xie Mingan raised his hand, and someone came up carrying a female body covered with white cloth, which happened to be Shu Yan.

Jiang Shanglong and several shopkeepers took turns to go up, and they all shook their heads, indicating that they did not recognize this person.

Two of them had strange expressions on their faces. Although they changed extremely quickly, Xie Mingan still keenly caught them.

He pursed his lips and glanced seriously at the faces of the two people.

"Shuyan, I have never seen her, let alone her name. The so-called maidservant is even more nonsense. I am not afraid of adults laughing at me when I say it. When I was young, I was confused for a few years and worked as a water bandit. Later, when I started doing business on the ship, it was all manual work. I only had strong men around me. Even though the business was booming later, I never kept a woman by my side. This maid definitely has nothing to do with us. I'm afraid she is from a restaurant, right? "

When the restaurant owner who was being interrogated heard this, he immediately hurriedly clarified the relationship: "That person was obviously brought here by you, how could he be from here? You have to be reasonable!"

People on both sides began to quarrel, and they were all afraid of losing their lives, and they all tried to blame each other.

Lu Shaoyuan just wanted to ask for understanding and justice, but after listening for a long time, these people not only didn't say anything, but also made the scene more and more chaotic.

Xie Mingan watched coldly, observing the expressions on these people's faces.

His eyes were like the light of snow, making all the ugliness invisible.

At this moment, an official came out from behind the screen and whispered in Xie Mingan's ear: "Sir, Your Highness the Princess feels that some of them are lying. They should be imprisoned one by one and interrogated one by one."

Xie Ming'an had this intention, so he nodded slightly, then slapped the table and ordered silence.

"The outcome of the matter will only become clear after a thorough investigation. You will first cooperate in writing a written statement."

Jiang Shanglong and others were taken away, and Lu Shaoyuan also went to dictate what he knew.

Taking advantage of this time, Xie Mingan walked around the screen, looked at Shen Ningning and said, "Second brother is going to do an autopsy now. Are you afraid? If not, you can come and see."

Mo Lingwei put down the tea cup and frowned slightly. He was about to help her refuse, but unexpectedly, Shen Ningning stood up quickly.

"I'm not afraid at all. I'll go with my second brother."

Mo Lingwei pursed his lips and could only stand up: "Then I'll go take a look too."

Xie Mingan raised his eyebrows but did not refuse.

When we arrived at the cold hall of the morgue, it was sunny all year round and realgar was often sprinkled on it. It felt cold as soon as we entered.

At this time, there were two corpses parked, namely Shuyan and Xiaosi.

Xie Mingan put on fish intestine gloves and performed an autopsy on the boy under complete protection.

Shen Ningning turned her back, just waiting to hear the result.

Mo Lingwei stood by her side calmly. Hearing that people are discouraged after death,

Xie Mingan quickly came to a conclusion.

"This is a typical drowning person. The base of the tongue is swollen, the eyes are white and water-colored, and there is obvious congestion behind the teeth..." Xie Mingan turned over twice and nodded slowly: "He was knocked unconscious and drowned in the water. .”

So there was no sign of struggle.

Immediately afterwards, he went to check Shuyan's body.

Shen Ningning suddenly remembered something: "If she lied and was not the maid of Jiang Shanglong and others, can we find any clues from her?"

Xie Mingan laughed: "Of course."

Mo Lingwei pursed his lips and looked in the direction of Xie Mingan, but he said to Shen Ningning: "Your second brother claims to be able to make the dead speak, so it shouldn't be a problem for him."

Xie Mingan was very satisfied with this recognition, especially to show off his skills to his sister. His original attitude was casual, but now he actually took it a little seriously.

"There are almost no calluses on the hands of the female corpse. It doesn't look like serving tea or water, but the calluses on the heels are thick. She must be a person who often travels... Well, the fatal injury is a self-inflicted wound on the heart, and there are no traces of taking medicine."

Shen Ningning was about to turn around, but she didn't expect that Mo Lingwei instantly covered her eyes.

"Wait a minute!" His tone was a bit urgent: "Your second brother hasn't finished checking."

Shen Ningning didn't see anything just now. From the corner of her eye, she could only see that Xie Mingan seemed to be checking the body of the female corpse.

She was a little at a loss, and her long eyelashes gently swept across Mo Lingwei's palm.

It had been a long time since they had been so close together.
