Wu Zuo stared at this small hole so surprised that he couldn't believe his eyes. This kind of murder method is too hidden. If he didn't remove that small part of hair, he would not be able to detect it at all.

If he were to determine the cause of death, he would definitely rely on drowning.

Aside from his admiration, he couldn't help being a little surprised, this little Su Marquis was really calm when facing the corpse, no matter what, this was his brother, and he was able to check his whole body without changing his face.

In the middle...

Sensing Wu Zuo's scrutinizing eyes, Liu Xiaoran frowned and glanced at the other party, the stern look immediately made Wu Zuo look away, and dared not speak with her hands down.

"Since the cause of death has been found out, you have nothing to do here, go down." Liu Xiaoran said coldly, and Wu Zuo immediately walked out of the room swiftly as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Su Mu stared at the corpse and still couldn't help himself. He thought about meeting Su Qi countless times, but never imagined it would be like this.

He slept like this forever with the secrets on his body, and it will not be long before he will become a handful of dust between the mountains and fields.

"Let's go out first." Liu Xiaoran said softly.

Su Mu nodded, turned his gaze back, and silently followed Liu Xiaoran out the door.

"Su Qi, although he has done many wrong things, he is my blood relative and the one who stabilized Marquis Mansion. Therefore, I will definitely find the murderer." Su Mu rubbed his trembling wrist, and saw the eye of the needle.At that time, it was false to say that he was not afraid of such a weird and cruel method, "Although he was wrong, he should be judged by the law, and he should never end up like this."

Liu Xiaoran understood the truth of this, and could better understand Su Mu's mood, so she nodded when she heard the words: "Me too."

Su Mu raised his eyes and looked at Liu Xiaoran who was looking at him with concern. He wanted to comfort him to show that he was fine, but found that he didn't even have the strength left to pull a smile.

He is really at a loss now.

From the very beginning when he came to this world, Su Qi was the reason for him to pursue the truth, but he didn't expect that after being involved in so many turmoil, the original starting point of the story would disappear so silently.

This feeling is hard to describe, like a person who goes out to sea late at night and suddenly finds that he has lost his original direction, and can only let himself fall into unknown seas under the turbulent currents of the dark tide.

"I also need to go back and tell my mother and others about this matter. Wang Jing will return first. He doesn't know the reason, and he might scare his mother." Su Mu cupped his hands wearily, "Let's leave first."

But when Su Mu left Dali Temple, Liu Xiaoran did not return to her house, but went directly to Huancai Pavilion.

Because of seeing the corpse today, everyone's attention was on it, but since this was not drowning, there must be a place where Su Qi was killed.

Maybe it was on the shore where the body was found, or maybe...in a certain room in this brothel.

The old bustard's surname is Yang, and her real name is Yang Hua. Because of the brothel business, she is more or less the number one person in Capital City by name. Everyone else calls her Mama Yang because the business is doing well.Only in this way can it reopen after the bloody incident, but it didn't take long for the good times to run into trouble again.

Now when she saw Liu Xiaoran, she had a painful expression on her face, and when she came up to her and wanted to complain, Liu Xiaoran asked straight to the point: "Did Su Qi come to Huancai Pavilion yesterday?"

Yang Hua was shocked when she heard these words, the whole city was plastered with Su Qi's wanted portrait, how could she dare to keep such a person, but now this person really died in her place, it is really a shameI can't even tell if I'm suffering.

"Master Liu, Mingjian, I really dare not let this person in, there is absolutely no such thing."

Although Yang Hua is quite good at doing business, she is indeed a very timid person, and she would be afraid of trouble for several days. Liu Xiaoran also knew that she would not be the one who deliberately lied about this matter.

"Then did any suspicious person come here yesterday?"

Although the exact time cannot be judged from the corpse, there are many people in Huancai Pavilion. If the corpse has been dumped for several days, it will not be discovered until today. The most likely thing is what happened last night.

Yang Hua didn't dare to be negligent, so she immediately called the girls to help her think about it, she couldn't remember who came and went, but the guests received by the girls were all from her own family.

After a long time, only one person's voice rang out.

"Mom, that little Mr. Jin seemed a little weird last night."

The person who spoke was Qiulian, a newcomer who had just been here for half a year.

Young master Jin...Jin Ke?

Thinking of what Su Mu mentioned to herself before, Liu Xiaoran's thoughts moved, and she immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"

Qiu Lian saluted immediately and told what she had learned last night.

"Mr. Jin can be regarded as a frequent visitor here, but the servants he brought with him in the past were all short men, but the one he brought last night was a tall and thin man who covered his face. I thought it was strange.After taking a second look, Mr. Jin became a little angry and scolded me for being so presumptuous."

Liu Xiaoran silently wrote down these details, and signaled Qiulian with her eyes to continue talking.

"Then I just played a little song, and he got a little annoyed. He said my piano sound was not good, and asked me to go out and listen to Sister Chuntao's piano before I came back. I saw his expression was very impatient, and he didn't dare to resist., and went out."

"When I came back, there was no one else in the house. I thought it was Mr. Jin who left impatiently, but thinking about coming now... it seems very strange."

Liu Xiaoran's eyes darkened, and she immediately ordered: "Go and have a look inside."

Qiu Lian brought her into her room, the scent was lingering and pungent, Liu Xiaoran frowned uncomfortably, but there was no obvious abnormality in the furnishings in the room.

"When you came back yesterday, apart from the fact that you had already left, were there any other unusual things?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Qiu Lian shook her head: "When I came back, there were no guests, so I just sat in the room and never touched anything inside. I only cleaned up the tea on the table when I got up this morning.and the rest will remain the same."

Liu Xiaoran nodded. There were too many people in the room, but it was not conducive for him to carefully examine the clues inside, so he immediately blocked everyone from the door, and started pacing inside the room.

It is natural that such a concealed killing method would not leave any blood. After scanning for a week, he did not give up directly. Instead, everyone began to check carefully in the corner.It will come from him, so if this is really the place where the crime happened, there must be a third person.

Suddenly, a bright red coral bead by the corner of the table caught his attention. The coral bead is an accessory that has only emerged in Capital City in recent years.raised objects.

"Could it be that Jin Ke accidentally dropped it?" He picked up the coral bead. There were small holes on both sides of this coral bead, and the edges were frayed. It should have been strung into a string of beads with engraving on it, but nowCan't see clearly.

He showed the things to Qiu Lian and the others, all of them looked dazed, they didn't know who had such a string of beads, at least no one in Huancai Pavilion had.

After Liu Xiaoran put away the beads, she left in a hurry. Although Jin Ke was a clue, there is no evidence pointing to him now, just because she had communicated with Su Qi before, and what Qiulian said last night was a bit far-fetched.Then we can only hope that this bead can bring any clues.

He immediately sent people to check the location of Hu merchants who sold coral beads in the city, and asked if there were coral beads of similar style and size. If the beads were not purchased by Jin Ke, it was likely that a third person kept themup.

That night, he was eager to find the list and investigate clues. After going back to take a bath, he returned to Dali Temple. This night was sleepless again.

When he opened his eyes the next day, he felt that his shoulders seemed to be a little heavy, and there was a rustling sound from the side, as if someone was turning the pages of the book beside him.

"Yu Zhi?"

Naturally, Su Mu's cloak fell on his shoulders, wrapping him tightly, with a hint of the warmth of the winter outside.

"Are you awake?" Su Mu flipped through the list and investigation scope written by Liu Xiaoran the day before, and looked at the dense comments and comparative notes on it, and knew that Liu Xiaoran hadn't slept all night, even if he knew this person's characterEven if I put the case in front of myself, I still feel a little guilty.

If she hadn't been in a trance yesterday, Liu Xiaoran wouldn't have been here alone to find Tianming.It was I who said that I wanted to find out the truth, but it turned out that I spent a whole day calming down, which is really embarrassing.

As soon as Liu Xiaoran got up straight, Su Mu took out a box of snacks from the side like a magic trick. As soon as he came, he saw Liu Xiaoran resting on the table, and immediately asked Lu Lingjue, who had just lazily come in from the outside, to buy some snacks.Lu Lingjue, who knew that his lord hadn't woken up yet, and was still able to fish in a legitimate way, immediately responded.

But before he left, he still pretended to comfort Su Mu. As a very jealous person, he didn't have much sympathy for Su Qi who caused a lot of suffering.If he is more upright, he might think that this is some kind of man doing justice for the heavens.

Therefore, he comforted him very perfunctorily, and nine out of ten sentences felt that it would not be worth it for Su Mu to be sad for such a person. After Su Mu repeatedly assured him that he would not be too depressed because of Su Qi's deathThen I went to buy some snacks.

Although the pastry was already a bit cold, the melt-in-your-mouth taste still kept Liu Xiaoran from being too gloo in the morning. Although checked many merchants that had coral beads last night, still couldn't find any clues from a small bead.

Su Mu carefully turned the beads in his hand. The coral beads are bright and bright in color, as red as if they could drip blood. This kind of decoration is the favorite of Hu people. It was once loved by people after it was introduced to the capital, but it was too ostentatious after all., so there are not many people who carry it on a daily basis.

Moreover, the words on the coral beads have been worn out for a long time, but the coral beads have only been introduced to Capital City in the past few years, and they have been worn into such a state.In this case

"If such a beloved thing is torn by someone, it should be distressing, right?" Su Mu put the bead in his palm, and looked at it carefully for a while, "Will he find someone to repair it? If he is toldOne is missing..."

Liu Xiaoran raised her eyes slowly, as if she understood what Su Mu meant.

"Will he come back?"
