The corpse was indeed Wang Ju's,
Liu Tianping stayed in the capital to help look after his son's aide.
The coroner did not find anything strange about the corpse. Just like the previous dried corpses,
It was beyond their knowledge.
The case was still in a stalemate,
It seemed that no new dried corpses had appeared, but Chen Jue knew that there were corpses that had been hidden or discarded.
The problem was..,
Where the corpses were.
It was definitely not easy to transport the corpses out of the city.
In the records of the exits from the city over the past few days,
There was nothing unusual.
Chen Jue was upset and had been in a bad mood for the past few days.
Therefore, when Wang Yi called Li Xiao out,
He specially took advantage of the fact that Lord Chen was busy looking at the information files submitted everywhere,
When he had no time to care about them.
Li Xiao had just walked out with a teapot when she was secretly dragged to the corner of the corridor by Wang Yi.
Li Xiao had a blank look on her face as she stared at Wang Yi with her big round eyes.
"What's wrong,
Big Brother Wang? "She held the teapot,
And looked around nervously.
Wang Yi also looked around,
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them,
He asked, "Are you going to live with your brother,
Leave the Dali Monastery? "
"Ah?" Li Xiao blinked her eyes,
She was stunned.
"I saw your brother yesterday,
He probably won't allow you to be on duty in the Dali Monastery, right? "Wang Yi sighed,
"Is there any way to stay?
What did Lord Chen say? "
Ever since Li Xiao had been born,
The atmosphere in this courtyard was many times better.
The frequency of the adult's anger had decreased by a lot.
If the little girl left again..
For example, this case had almost reached a stalemate. If it was in the past, Lord Chen would probably vent his anger all over the courtyard.
None of them could escape, and they would all suffer.
"I didn't hear you say that you want me to leave the Dali Monastery," Li Xiao said doubtfully.
"Really?" Wang Yi asked again to confirm.
Li Xiao nodded.
The sun was hot outside the cloister, but the cloister was cool in the shadow.
Wang Yi was more than a head taller than Li Xiao. At this moment, he pulled her to stand here. In order to whisper to her, he leaned a little closer.
Li Xiao lowered her head slightly. Her cheeks were red as she rubbed the teapot between her fingers.
"What if you … what if your brother doesn't want you to come to Dali Monastery anymore? You have to tell me so I can think of a way," Wang Yi said seriously. As he spoke, he and Li Xiao leaned side by side against the wooden wall inside the cloister.
"Yes," Li Xiao nodded and couldn't help but think: Will Brother not let her come to the Dali Monastery?
What would she do if Brother really did ask her to?
As she was deep in thought, Wang Yi suddenly turned to look at Li Xiao. "Have you grown taller?"
"Huh?"
Li Xiao tilted her head and looked at Wang Yi. Her big eyes were especially cute, but the confusion in her eyes was a little seductive.
Wang Yi suddenly felt like he had been poked in the chest, and his face turned red.
"I remember the first time I saw you. You just came to me." He said as he gestured with his arms.
The smile on Li Xiao's face widened. "Yes, I've grown a lot in the past few months."
She was a little proud.
Wang Yi looked at her tilted head and couldn't help but smile. His chest was slightly itchy, and the air seemed to have become thin.
The little girl's face was pink and her lips were red. Especially when set off by her fair skin, it looked like she had put on some rouge.
He hurriedly lowered his eyes and scratched his head.
Li Xiao recklessly jumped in front of Wang Yi, and then compared her head with Wang Yi's collarbone. She then measured the height of Wang Yi's arm with her finger and said happily, "Big Brother Wang, I've grown so much!"
Wang Yi looked up at the length of Li Xiao's finger. "You've really grown a lot."
"Yes." The little girl hit her head hard.
Chen Jue was too bored in the room, so he walked out of the courtyard to catch his breath. He walked to the side of the long corridor. He originally wanted to see the lotus flowers in the small pond while waiting for Li Xiao's teapot, but then he saw the two people standing in the shadows at the end of the corridor through the pillars.
His whole face instantly darkened.
He glared at the two of them for a good while.
Li Xiao looked up and gestured something to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi smiled gently at the little girl and coaxed her to nod.
Suddenly, Wang Yi reached out his hand and was about to pat Li Xiao's head.
Chen Jue only felt his fingers become slightly cold.
"What are you doing?" His voice was deep and not loud, but it had a kind of gloomy and threatening aura.
When Wang Yi heard that voice, he reflexively stood up straight and looked in the direction of the voice. His eyes were full of shock.
Chen Jue's face became even more gloomy.
Li Xiao turned her head and was somewhat at a loss. She looked blankly at Chen Jue and then at Wang Yi.
"Daren."
Li Xiao called and was about to walk to Chen Jue's side when she suddenly remembered that the teapot in her hand was still empty. She shouted, "I'll be right back ~" and turned around to run.
"… …" Wang Yi was speechless.
"Do you still know what this place is?" Chen Jue stared at Wang Yi heavily. His fingers clenched and unclenched, and the frustration in his chest intensified.
"Investigating a case — —" Wang Yi hurriedly took a step forward and lowered his head.
"Go to Wang Ju's house and Liu Tianping's residence to investigate again. Is there anyone who has been in contact with Wang Ju recently?"
Chen Jue suppressed his emotions and ordered.
"Yes, Daren." Wang Yi answered and walked away like the wind.
Not long after he left, Li Xiao turned the corner of the corridor with the teapot and turned back.
"Daren." She raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked very happy to see that Chen Jue was still there.
"… …" Chen Jue's face was slightly gloomy, but he couldn't do anything.
Faced with her expression … …
"What did Wang Yi say to you?" Chen Jue reached out and took the teapot from Li Xiao's hand and strode in front of her.
The little girl hurriedly jogged to catch up. "Big Brother Wang … …"
"Tell me the truth!" Chen Jue's voice was buzzing.
"Ah, yes.
Big Brother Wang asked me if I was going to leave the Dali Monastery with my brother. "Li Xiao hurriedly answered and scratched her head. She didn't intend to lie.
She tilted her head and looked at Chen Jue. Was Daren unhappy?
"Hmph, don't hang out with Wang Yi in the future." Chen Jue said coldly.
Li Xiao raised her eyebrows. Big Brother Wang had found her. It was also thanks to Big Brother Wang that she was able to meet Lord Chen that she got to know Big Brother Wang.
Moreover … … She was fine before, so why couldn't she hang out with Big Brother Wang?
Big Brother Wang was pretty good.
"Did you hear that?" Chen Jue turned his head and asked.
Li Xiao hurriedly nodded. Nodding once wasn't enough. She nodded a few more times and only stopped when she was sure that Lord Chen had seen it.
She stared at Lord Chen's unhappy side profile. Experience told her that it was better not to provoke him.
Chen Jue looked at her obedient little appearance and finally calmed down.
He returned to the inner hall and drank two cups of tea in succession before he felt slightly better.
However, the scene just now kept flashing in his mind unconsciously. Every time he thought about it, he felt like there was a fishbone in his throat, but he couldn't figure out why.
However, he couldn't stop himself from thinking about it. Those images would always drill into his mind.
Chen Jue pushed away the file, supported his head with his fist, and fell into deep thought.
Li Xiao sat for a while and sorted out all the information files that had been submitted today. After sorting them out according to their importance, she placed them on Lord Chen's desk and stood up.
However, she had just walked to the screen when Chen Jue suddenly looked up and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Huh?
I … "Li Xiao's face turned red before she could finish her sentence.
Chen Jue's face darkened. This girl couldn't be thinking of making an appointment with Wang Yi again, could she?
He felt as if his heart had been hit by a blunt object. There was a dull pain, and his face became very ugly.
Li Xiao was also stunned when she saw Chen Jue's expression.
"What is it that you can't tell me behind my back?" His tone became much harsher without realizing it.
"I …" Li Xiao stuttered and stuttered.
Before she could finish speaking, her ears turned purple.
Chen Jue seemed to be more certain. He glared at Li Xiao angrily.
Why did he feel that she was becoming more and more disobedient?
Was it because Li Yu was back and she had someone to rely on? Did she feel that she didn't need to listen to him obediently?
Or was it because he had been treating her so well recently that she became arrogant?
Chen Jue's heart began to sink, and he felt more and more irritated.
Was he going to lock her up at home and not let her go out, and not let her see other people?
No matter what, Li Yu had indeed found her.
Now that her brother was by her side, she really didn't need to rely on him wholeheartedly!
Moreover, this little girl was used to causing trouble. Who didn't like her in this courtyard of the Dali Monastery … Who knew if it was purely the friendship of colleagues, and if it was …
The more Chen Jue thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"You don't want to say it?" Chen Jue's eyes revealed a threatening look, as if he was judging a criminal.
Unknowingly, the pain in his chest also became stronger. Looking at Li Xiao's pitiful appearance, he was particularly irritated, but … he couldn't control himself.
That kind of feeling made his heart feel cold, empty, and full of anger.
Li Xiao was a little frightened. His Excellency hadn't shown such a scary expression in a long time.
Did … did she do something wrong?
Biting her lower lip, she blinked. Her eyes were a little red, but the redness on her face still didn't recede.
Chen Jue stared at her, waiting for her answer.
Finally, Li Xiao pursed her lips, as if she was going to risk it all. Tearfully, she shouted shamefully, "I want to … change my clothes."
After saying that, she turned her head and ran out. She felt that her whole body was hot and smoking. She was ashamed and shameful. As she ran out, two tears finally fell.
She … she just wanted to pee. Why was his Excellency so fierce? Wuwuwu …
"…" Chen Jue was speechless.
He stared dumbfoundedly at the empty screen, unable to move for a long time.
After a few breaths, he scratched his head in annoyance. He wished he could swallow all the words he had just said back into his stomach.
He thought of the little girl's pitiful and aggrieved appearance just now …
He …
Behind the screen, Zhang Tang, who was used to eavesdropping, "…"
He stroked his beard thoughtfully and couldn't help but think: Should I help Lord Chen?
Why does it feel like … this young third-rank official … is so stupid sometimes!
So stupid!
Stroking his beard, Zhang Tang gradually felt a sense of superiority.
Sigh, you see, in this world, there is no perfect person!
