Chen Jue circled the table and frowned in thought.
He was originally a twenty-four-year-old young man,
At this moment..,
He made people feel like he was an elder.
He was carrying pressure and responsibilities that he shouldn't have to bear at his age.
Chen Jue thought for a while before saying, "Go and do the second round of investigation."
"Sir, you mean... if the murderer isn't Miss -" Zhang Tang raised his sparse eyebrows,
He looked at Chen Jue,
He began to stroke his few strands of beard.
"Go and investigate the maids and servants that every Miss brought to those banquets.
Also... look at the others present. "Chen Jue stood by the table and tapped on the table. His tone was decisive.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Tang immediately went out to call for people to do the work.
"Wang Yi isn't back yet?" Chen Jue closed his eyes,
He was upset and impatient, which made his expression look especially painful.
When the case was in a state of anxiety, the information was complicated, but it was difficult to distinguish the main points..
He was afraid that he would go in the wrong direction and delay the opportunity to solve the case, causing more people to die.
He was afraid that the murderer would escape because he couldn't judge and catch him as quickly as possible.
He was afraid that because of his mistake..,
He would let the murderer get away with it..,
He would even let the victim area radiate.
He was afraid..
He was afraid of too much..,
This kind of pressure was not something that ordinary people could imagine,
It was also not something that ordinary people could bear.
Zhang Tang was very eager to be promoted and make a fortune..,
But every time at this time..,
He would feel lucky..,
He was lucky that he was only a small registrar of the Dali Monastery,
He didn't need to be like Lord Chen.
He thought so much, coordinated so much information, and made so many analyses and arrangements.
He didn't need to bear so much pressure.
Zhang Tang's scalp hurt when he thought about how much Lord Chen had to bear. His whole body was numb and uncomfortable.
Only at this time did he look at Chen Jue and feel not only respect, but also pity.
The Emperor gave Lord Chen so much power because he wanted Lord Chen to work hard at this time.
Zhang Tang scratched his head, took a deep breath, and let out a long sigh. Only then did he feel a little better.
He stood at the door and looked outside. The moment he saw Wang Yi, his anxious expression lit up.
"I'm back, I'm back …" Wang Yi was still on the other side of the corridor. Zhang Tang couldn't wait to respond to Chen Jue while waving at Wang Yi eagerly.
Wang Yi held onto the railing of the cloister and leaped into the courtyard. After a few leaps, he arrived in front of Zhang Tang.
Zhang Tang pointed to the inner chamber and made a bitter expression. Wang Yi immediately paid attention to him. He walked into the hall and neatly bowed to Chen Jue.
Chen Jue waved his hand impatiently. He was annoyed that these people were still wasting time with these empty formalities at this time.
"Hurry up!" Chen Jue stood in front of the table and glared at Wang Yi as if he wanted to eat him up.
Wang Yi hurriedly stood up, took a deep breath, and then quickly said, "Many masters in the manors want to invite Mr. Li Li Ru to their manors to teach the young ladies in their manors.
However, Mr. Li only promised Lord Ge that he went to the House of Ge and taught the young ladies in the House of Ge for a whole morning. "
"House of Ge, Ge Zhen …" Chen Jue nodded. "Continue."
Zhang Tang sat at the side of the table and wrote at a fast speed.
"But …" Wang Yi looked up and saw Lord Chen's gloomy expression.
When Chen Jue saw Wang Yi peeking at him, he knew that he was going to hear bad news.
He sighed and nodded helplessly.
"But Mr. Li didn't have any private contact with anyone!" Wang Yi answered.
Lord Chen thought that the murderer this time was so mature. He originally suspected that he might have had contact with Mr. Li before. At least, he had learned some research conclusions about superpowered people from Mr. Li.
However … he had only been to the House of Ge, and he didn't have any private contact or conversation.
Wang Yi pursed his lips. After saying this, he began to feel a little cold. It was as if the room had suddenly turned into an ice cave.
For more than ten seconds, Wang Yi and Zhang Tang felt unbearable.
"Did Mr. Li go to the House of Ge by himself?
Who did he bring with him?
If he did, did this person, who was brought into the House of Ge by Mr. Li, have any private contact with Ge Zhen or anyone from the House of Ge? "Chen Jue suddenly shot a sharp gaze at Wang Yi.
"Ah …" Wang Yi opened his mouth and closed it again. He blinked innocently and said with a little shame, "No … I didn't investigate this."
"Go and investigate!" Chen Jue said.
"Yes, sir!" Wang Yi quickly ran away with his tail between his legs.
"Xu Ting went to the ten ladies' mansions to keep an eye on them. Any news?" Chen Jue turned his head and looked at Zhang Tang.
Because Li Xiao predicted that someone would die in the mansion of a big family after the rain, Chen Jue asked Xu Ting to bring a dozen people to keep an eye on them while interrogating the ten ladies.
If a young master from a big family, as Li Xiao predicted, came to one of the ten ladies' mansions as a guest, Xu Ting must either stop him or protect him!
Zhang Tang was writing a word when Chen Jue called his name. He shook his hand and a blotch of ink appeared on the paper.
He didn't have time to feel sad. He cleverly raised his head and answered Lord Chen, "Not yet, sir."
Chen Jue walked in a circle in the room, thinking about what else he could do.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Chen Jue had something to look forward to, so he strode out. He was eager to see if there was news about what he was looking forward to.
Li Xiao rushed in hurriedly and bumped into Chen Jue's arms.
It was hard, and there was a clean and refreshing fragrance of soap in the air.
"Why are you so careless?"
Jue Chen grabbed the little girl's arm and pushed her away in disdain. Her hair was all over the place and there were a few strands here and there.
He subconsciously wanted to help her tidy it up, but he restrained himself.
"Did you just crawl into a chicken coop?" Chen Jue raised three fingers and patted Li Xiao's forehead.
"Ouch." Li Xiao cried out in pain, but she didn't have time to respond to Chen Jue. She said directly, "Lord Chen, sir!
Is the murderer left-handed?
I … I was strangling myself at that time. Something was wrong.
And every time the ladies were treated as puppets and attacked others, did they also use their left hand? "
Li Xiao gasped for breath as she raised her left hand and shook it vigorously.
Before she could finish speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly exploded.
"Ah!" Zhang Tang suddenly stood up.
Chen Jue also turned his head and said to Zhang Tang, "Quick!"
"Good!
Good! "Zhang Tang had always been good at sneaking into the Dali Monastery with his excellent memory.
He held the brush in his hand, and the ink droplets fell on his long robe bit by bit with his subconscious movements. He didn't even notice that the black sun was shining.
Li Xiao raised her left hand and covered her mouth with her right hand.
Zhang Tang tried hard to recall the servants he saw at the Chai Residence.
He walked around the table and suddenly stopped. He turned his head and said, "Lord Chen … the servant of Miss Ge of the House of Ge, he used his left hand to pass something to Ge Zhen!"
"Let's go!" Chen Jue strode out.
When Chen Jue and the others went out, Zhang Tang collapsed on the chair like a deflated bag.
When he looked down, he saw that his clothes were full of ink blotches.
"Ouch — how did this happen?!"
… …
Xu Ting and the others still didn't know who the murderer was.
With the murderer's ability to control others, they were afraid that even if the House of Ge was in chaos, they might not be able to catch the culprit.
If there was a conflict, even if Xu Ting had a supernatural ability, he would be in a very passive position. He might even be in danger. His supernatural ability consumed too much energy. If he didn't use it properly, the murderer would have an opportunity to take advantage of him.
When Wang Yi received the message, he snatched the messenger's horse. With a squeeze of his legs, the horse galloped forward with all four legs.
"Hurry up!" Chen Jue's anxiety from the morning was finally focused on this point.
He kept pulling open the curtains of the carriage to look at the road outside. Why weren't they at the House of Ge yet?
Was it that far?!
"Hurry up!" Chen Jue knocked on the wall of the carriage.
The Coachman had no choice but to keep whipping the horse's butt. The horse neighed and galloped quickly.
When a group of people rushed into the House of Ge like bandits, the guard who wanted to send a letter to Lord Chen was fetching a horse from the stable.
When he saw Chen Jue get down from the carriage, he hurriedly jumped down from the horse and landed on the ground. "Sir, something happened … It's the son of Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Revenue … the only legitimate son!"
Chen Jue didn't dare to delay at all. He strode into the courtyard. As he walked, he asked, "Is Xu Ting here?"
"Lord Xu just arrived. He also rushed over from Lord Zhang's residence next door," the guard said.
"Is he still alive?" Chen Jue asked.
"I'm afraid not." His artery was punctured, and blood was gushing out like a fountain …
The only legitimate son of the Minister of Revenue … Chen Jue felt that he was going to have a few more white hairs.
When he was almost out of sight of the stable, he suddenly remembered something. He stopped and turned around. As expected, he saw Li Xiao standing in front of the carriage, looking at him with a pair of big eyes full of anxiety.
"Go back to the carriage and hide well. Don't run around!" Chen Jue shouted.
Li Xiao nodded and slipped back into the carriage. Then, she stretched out her fingers and pulled open the curtains of the carriage a little. She continued to look anxiously.
However, she was in the carriage and couldn't see Lord Chen anymore.
She clenched her fists. She was very worried. If only she had her brother's supernatural power. She could move objects through the air. Maybe she could help Lord Chen fight and protect him.
…
Chen Jue led a group of guards and ran around the House of Ge as if it was his own courtyard.
However, the people in the House of Ge didn't dare to stop them. They even acted as guides to lead the way.
Young Master Zhao died in the House of Ge. This was not a small matter!
The central courtyard of the Ge Manor that led to the main house was a complete mess.
The courtyard was originally filled with women, but it was full of men.
"Let go of Yue 'er!
Who is it?
Let go of Yue 'er! "
Lady Ge cried and shouted. She looked at the people in the courtyard blankly. She didn't know who the real murderer was.
Every servant girl Xiao Tong ran around the courtyard. A servant girl grabbed Third Miss Ge Yue and threatened her with a hairpin. No guards dared to go forward. They were afraid that there would be another body on the ground.
Zhao Xun fell on the ground. The hairpin was inserted into the artery on the side of his throat. Blood was flowing out and he had already started to convulse.
The old doctor who rushed over fell on the stone road in the distance. He fell and cried out. No one knew if he really fell or if he faked it out of fear.
Crown Prince Qiao fell into a small pond in the courtyard. The pond was not big, but it was very deep. Moreover, the bottom of the pond was full of mud. He struggled to get out, but it wasn't easy.
He stared at Zhao Xun who fell on the ground from afar. Finally, he grabbed the stone beside the pond.
Just as he was about to climb out, another maidservant rushed over and gave him a flying kick on the shoulder.
He slipped and fell back into the pond. He drank a few mouthfuls of muddy water and choked his throat and nose.
Ge Zhen came back from Dali Temple Yamen. She wanted to report to her mother that she was safe, but she didn't expect to be caught in such a deadly situation.
She was also caught by a servant girl, but she wasn't kidnapped like Third Miss.
The servant girl who caught her pulled her to the side of the grass and pushed her down.
She threw herself on the grass and saw the whole scene clearly. Grass and mud stained her dress and palms. She was scared silly, but she didn't feel it at all. She just stared blankly — where was this place that looked like a purgatory battlefield?
Was this … her home?
The guards in the courtyard wanted to save Third Miss, but there were too many servant girls in the House of Ge's main courtyard. At this moment, it was chaos.
Xu Ting was already in such a situation when he arrived. At this moment, he didn't dare to act rashly. He was afraid that he would hurt Third Miss Ge or accidentally hurt the innocent. He couldn't kill all the servants in the House of Ge, right?
"Tie up all the people you caught!"
Xu Ting shouted angrily. He also caught a servant and immediately took out a short rope from his waist. He tied the servant's hands and feet and pushed him to the side.
Now, he could only use this stupid method to tie them up one by one.
But after tying them up for a long time, it seemed that there were still people.
"Lady Ge!
Go back to the room! "Xu Ting turned back and shouted angrily. At this moment, he didn't care about the seniority.
Lady Ge didn't listen to him. Her daughter's neck was poked with a hairpin, and Minister Zhao's son was waiting for death outside her main house.
Xu Ting had to use his special ability. He took a deep breath and shouted at Lady Ge, "Go back to the room!"
Lady Ge was stunned. Then, as if she had received an order that she couldn't disobey, she turned around and went back to the room.
Xu Ting finished drinking and felt a slight pain in his chest. He quickly stood still and calmed down. As long as he didn't suddenly use too much strength, he wouldn't be hurt too badly.
When Chen Jue was led to the central hall of the main courtyard, he saw this scene. Several servant girls and servant girls were tied up on the ground and lying messily on the ground.
There were also a few servant girls who had been injured by swords and knives. They were lying on the ground bleeding and wailing.
There were also several servant girls and servant girls fighting Xiao Tong in the courtyard with a few guards. Although there was no order, they were fighting with no regard for their lives. They were even fighting with the tip of a sword.
The guards were dodging and dodging. It was difficult for them to reach the Third Miss.
Even with their skills, it wasn't easy to fight with people who were fighting with their lives on the line without accidentally injuring the innocent.
The guards were clearly skilled, and some of them were even injured. They were badly battered.
Chen Jue quickly scanned the courtyard and fixed his eyes on a young man who was running around among the servants. He looked like he was controlling something, but in fact, he was consciously dodging.
The young man wasn't short. He had a delicate appearance, but there was a hint of hostility in his eyes. His face was white and he didn't have a beard. It was the castrated young man.
