    It was a fine day, and Su Mu rarely got up from the bed, tidied himself up, and put on the little Marquis' daily clothes very unskillfully. He wore a white robe with sleeves, which was neat and tidy.

    Su Mu looked at the face in the mirror that was exactly the same as his own, and reached out to touch the bangs that fell on the sides of the cheeks, and the feeling of unreality spread.

    When he was brought by Shi Qinglan, he felt that the most troublesome thing was to take care of his hair, so he followed Shi Qinglan's example and pushed his hair an inch. Now that he has long hair, he is quite uncomfortable.

    On the other hand, his eyebrows and eyes are actually very good, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a high nose bridge, and matched with a pure white dress with only a black plum embroidered on it, which makes his face white as jade and his figure handsome.Ah Huan, who tied his hair, couldn't help admiring him several times in his heart.

    Although the little Marquis in the past also wore this outfit, but because he didn't smile or talk to others, his eyes always hung down to the ground, which always made people feel less angry. Today's little Marquis seems to have stars in his eyes, and the wholeEveryone has the smell of fireworks, and it looks better than a little bit.

    Su Mu had just finished taking care of everything and was about to step out of the room when he heard movement outside the door.

    The voice of the eldest lady of Andinghou Mansion, Su Mu's mother, Mrs. Qin, rang outside the door, with a little anger that Su Mu had never heard before.

    "Master Liu, my son is seriously injured, do you still want to push me like this?"

    Immediately a gentle voice replied: "Mrs. Qin, Liu Shaoqing didn't insist on coercing her, it's just that the body of that—Miss Li is getting corrupted day by day. If the truth of the matter is not found out as soon as possible, I'm afraid that innocent people will die in vain.Ma'am, please let me know, we will find out the truth and make little Marquis innocent."

    What?How come you cleared me up?

    Just as Su Mu was about to open the door, Ah Huan, who was also eavesdropping behind him, didn't pay attention, bumped into Su Mu's back, and let out a small "oops".

    Su Mu quickly turned his head and made a silent gesture to her, while Mo Shu beside him silently clenched the long sword around his waist, his whole body stretched straight, like an arrow about to leave the stringgenerally.

    The three master and servant stopped at the door of the room in unison.

    The dispute between Mrs. Qin and the outsiders was still going on, and when Su Mu was listening seriously, he forgot that the ancient door was no match for his own stainless steel door, and the door opened without warningJust like Ah Huan just now, Su Mu who was leaning on the door bumped into the person at the door so unexpectedly.

    As soon as he raised his head, Su Mu was slightly taken aback.

    The face of the person in front of him was frosty, his expression was stern, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. Although it was autumn, Su Mu felt that the temperature had dropped by three points.

    That was the first time he found out that if someone really could keep silent, he would already reject them thousands of miles away.

    Dazed for a moment, Su Mu quickly supported the door frame to stand firm and apologized.

    Although he still doesn't know who this person is, a familiar title has already appeared in Su Mu's mind - Living Hades.

    It's true that Liu Xiaoran came here to pick someone up today, but after all, she was still somewhat curious.A few days ago, when he brought the half-dead Su Mu back to the Marquis of Anding, he was certain that this man would not survive, just to let Mrs. Qin see each other for the last time, but he didn't want this man to die if ten days passed.Already able to get out of bed and walk around.

    His complexion was the same, but his eyes were sharper, which made Su Mu feel uncomfortable.

    He forcibly took his attention away from this iceberg-like figure, tried to put on a calm and ignorant look, and turned to Madam Qin: "Mother, are these two...?"

    Mrs. Qin's complexion was not good, but she still maintained the demeanor of the mistress of the family, and replied in a gentle voice: "This is Master Liu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and this is Master Zhiqi, the Secretary of Dali Temple."

    Su Mu pondered slightly in his heart, and a little doubt came up.

    It stands to reason that since Marquis Anding has been granted the title of marquis, his status must be above the rank of officials, no matter how bad he is, he should be an official of the same rank. Although he doesn't know the specific personnel structure inside Dali Temple, he also remembers that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is by no means a first-rank official.official.

    And this person was able to confront Mrs. Qin like this in the Marquis Mansion. Could it be that there is someone behind him as a backer?

    Su Mu looked at Liu Xiaoran with a strange gaze. Influenced by Shi Qinglan, he had watched all kinds of satellite TV's eight o'clock hit dramas, and naturally he didn't think of any serious backstage, all kinds of bitter dogs.The bloody drama began to automatically appear in his mind, and he even forgot that he was the protagonist of the play. It was not until the right man in front of him who had been imagined by himself spoke, that Su Mu's thoughts were pulled back.

    "Since Marquis is awake and doesn't seem to be feeling well, should Mrs. Qin let him go?"

    His voice sounded like his own, and Su Mu seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water for no reason, which made him feel a toothache.

    Mrs. Qin still wanted to stop her, but Su Mu blocked her words.

    Following the example of Master Qi just now, he cupped his hands towards Liu Xiaoran and said, "Since it is to assist in handling the case, I naturally have a duty to do so."

    After speaking, she turned around to appease Mrs. Qin and said, "Mother, it's okay, I'll go and have a look with them, and of course I won't be involved in anything that has nothing to do with me, don't worry."

    "Yu Zhi, but before you...mother was really worried..." Mrs. Qin's eyes were red, tears were about to fall, Su Mu quickly pulled the ink book beside her and said, "Mother, this timeWith ink books, you must protect yourself this time, don't worry."

    "Furthermore, the one who took me away this time was Dali Temple, so it must be..." He turned around and smiled slightly, "The two adults can also guarantee my safety."

    Liu Xiaoran narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the words, the words were so eloquent that he had no choice but to make a statement.

    "nature."

    "Look, mother, you can rest assured now." Su Mu gently patted the back of Mrs. Qin's hand holding her sleeve, and coaxed patiently, "I swear, if you encounter any danger, you will definitelyBe wise and protect yourself, and absolutely must come back to see you in full."

    Even if Mrs. Qin was unwilling, she had no choice but to give up and let Su Mu leave with Mo Shu.

    After leaving the gate of the Hou Mansion, Su Mu was picked up on the carriage parked at the gate.This was the first time he had really left the Marquis Mansion after time travelling. Although he still didn't know what kind of trouble he was involved in, the novelty still put him in a good mood, and he couldn't help but frowned.

    Qi Hao, who was sitting directly opposite him, was very curious when he saw the change in Su Mu's expression.

    This little Marquis is really a strange person, not to mention his narrow escape, but being involved in a murder case and being taken away by Liu Xiaoran himself, he is still so at ease, it's really interesting.

    Qi Hao turned his face to the side, and as expected, he also saw a slight surprise from that iceberg-like face.

    With some skill, Liu Xiaoran's cold face was split open.

    Su Mu looked at the scenery for a while, and finally remembered the business. He chose Qi Hao almost without thinking and asked: "I was seriously injured that day, and I can't remember many things clearly.Do you want to tell one or two? Otherwise, if you are confused, you may become someone's scapegoat."

    Although he doesn't have any memory of the original owner, it can be seen from the original owner's letters that he is not an indiscriminate murderer. Since this case involves human life, the possibility of him is greatly reduced, so he canFeel free to ask such a question.

    Although I still look like a criminal suspect now, I can't cover my mouth to prevent myself from asking what the case is, right?

    Qi Hao thought for a moment, glanced at Liu Xiaoran's expression, and after gaining acquiescence, he said concisely: "Six days ago, Miss Li from Huancai Pavilion was found dead in a wing room on the second floor. She had died for a long time, and the doors and windows in the room were closed tightly, besides the dead body, lies a man who is also dying, and that is you, little Marquis."

    "Ms. Li died on the bed in the house. There was a blow wound on the back of the head. A blood-stained candlestick was found on the ground at the scene. In addition, she held a dagger in her hand. And you, little Marquis, were found lying near the door.On the ground, the situation inside the house is roughly the same.”

    "Soon someone reported this matter to Jingzhao Mansion, and the governor naturally recognized you, not only invited a doctor to stabilize your injury, but also reported it to Dali Temple without stopping, and we took over."

    He paused for a moment, then chuckled lightly: "Unless it was a normal time, Young Master must have been in our Dali Temple at this moment, but your injuries were really serious that day, so Lord Liu ordered you to be sent back first."The Hou's mansion treated him, so it has been delayed until today."

    Su Mu nodded clearly.

    That's true, not only is it serious, I'm afraid it's just a breath.

    "Don't be upset, little Marquis, I know your body hasn't fully recovered, but although it's not hot these days, Miss Li's body has gradually decomposed, so I had to come to ask little Marquis to come and identify it on the spot, to see if you can recall what happened that day."

    Qi Hao's words were euphemistic, and Su Mu was not stupid, so he automatically translated the words for others.

    ——There are no other clues. You are the only person at the scene of the crime. If you are honest, you can save some time and go to Dali Temple for tea.

    Su Mu's heart was also pounding. Although he still had some confidence in the original owner's character, he didn't dare to guarantee it. Hearing this situation, it was considered convincing evidence. If there were no other clues in the house, even if he didn't do it himself, he would have to deal with it himself.back.

    Master Qi's attitude of being willing to tell the details of what happened instead of interrogating the prisoner is probably because of the name Marquis Anding.

    He took a deep breath and asked the question that concerned him most.

    "Dare to ask... Who is this Miss Li?"

    Qi Hao's gaze became interesting, and he looked Su Mu up and down: "Little Marquis doesn't know?"

    Su Mu said calmly, "Should I know?"

    Before Qi Hao could answer, Liu Xiaoran, who had been watching coldly for a long time, spoke suddenly.

    "If you don't know, what is the purpose of going to Huancai Pavilion?"

    Su Mu was shocked, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

    ... This is not a brothel.

    Seeing Qi Hao's more joking expression, Su Mu felt his face suddenly burnt up.

    When he was young, he kept in mind the life motto of "Dating for the purpose of not getting married is a hooligan". He treated female classmates with respect and respect, so that he could hold hands with the girls around him when he sang in the military training chorus for a long time.Blush for a second or two, let alone communicate on a deeper level.

    Visiting a brothel is really something that dare not even think about.

    Su Mu shut up.

    He waited numbly for the heat on his face to fade, and suddenly felt that being alive didn't seem so important.

    The dignified little Marquis of the Marquis of Anding's mansion was fine if he was found having fun in the brothel, and he was also charged with a murder case. He thought that Mrs. Qin really loves this little son. If it were Shi Qinglan, it would be very possible to kill his relatives directly.

    Liu Xiaoran still sat with no expression on her face, and could clearly see the changes in Su Mu's expression.

    A few days ago, he had interviewed people who had contacts with Su Mu, including the Guozijian Jijiu and students a few years ago. Without exception, these people felt that although Su Mu was taciturn, he was a gentle person.Never had a conflict with anyone.

    But the wound on the back of Miss Li's head was bloody and bloody, and there was a large amount of blood on the ground, which shows the cruelty of the killer. He should be a very ruthless person, but there are not many other clues in the house. When asked the supervisor of Huancai Pavilion, only gotMiss Chunxi once said that she was unwell and needed to recuperate for a day, and everyone else said that they didn't see any suspicious people entering, so they had no clues about the others.

    Huancai Pavilion is a famous brothel in Beijing. Even though it is daytime, it is very lively. The people who come and go want no one to recognize them, so there is an unwritten rule of not caring about the people around them, and no one will go there.Watch out for people coming in and out.When something happened, they scattered like birds and beasts. When Dali Temple arrived, everyone was completely evacuated, leaving only their belts and jade pendants all over the place.

    Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoran's expression became subtle again, Su Mu's shy expression just now didn't look like a disguise, it was really puzzling for such a person to enter and leave the brothel.

    He frowned and tapped his fingers twice on his knees.

    Even though he really wanted to close the case, he had to admit now that he didn't think the person in front of him was the murderer.

    The author has something to say:

    Please rememberin reality, what is the size of the board?!!

    Miss Chunxi = Miss Li = Li Qingyuan

    (Did you find out, only Liu Xiaoran is called Marquis, but actually it should be Marquis.)
