The sun was so hot that the people in the yard couldn't open their eyes. Chen Jue rubbed his eyes, looked at the basket of broken tiles on the ground, and then looked at the edge of the stone road. He turned his head to Xu Ting and the others who were standing in shock and asked, "Did you see it?"
Xu Ting's face was slightly gloomy, and he nodded.
"You saw it too?" Chen Jue looked at the secretary, Zhang Tang.
Zhang Tang nodded. His wild dog-like face was also full of shock. Although he didn't see how beautiful the little girl was, he saw the sudden danger.
He thought that Lord Chen was going to die of old age …
"Did you see it?
This line. "Chen Jue drew the boundary between the stone road and the turf with the tip of his foot.
Everyone nodded.
Chen Jue suddenly laughed.
The temporary worker on the roof was so scared that he climbed down the ladder and knelt on the ground. He almost kowtowed. It was said that this lord was very fierce and did whatever he wanted. No one could stop him. If they offended him, they would be beheaded.
But Chen Jue suddenly laughed. Everyone didn't know how to react. Why did Lord Chen laugh?
Li Xiao leaned against the wall and looked at his smile. A hearty laugh under the sun should make people feel happy. Such a handsome man standing under the sun and laughing should also be pleasing to the eyes. But she didn't know why … she was a little scared.
Just now he said that she could go … So now, could she still go?
Li Xiao's eyes fell on the corridor leading to freedom, and her feet moved.
Chen Jue suddenly said, "Wait!"
Li Xiao shrunk her shoulders.
Chen Jue strode to the entrance of the corridor with his long legs and grabbed Li Xiao with his long arms.
Her little arm was so thin that when he clenched his hand, his thumb could still press the second joint of his middle finger.
When he grabbed the little girl's arm, he also felt Li Xiao's startled tremble.
He paused. Ignoring Li Xiao's panicked expression, he turned to the stunned Xiao Tong and said, "A Liu, give me five taels of silver."
Only then did A Liu come back to his senses. He nodded and took out some money from his sleeve.
A group of people looked at Chen Jue, not knowing what he wanted to do.
And that shocking scene just now made them unable to return to their senses for a long time.
If Lord Chen was hit by it, then this case would be even worse. He just didn't expect that this little girl's playful divination would be so accurate.
Chen Jue took the money from A Liu's hand. Seeing A Liu staring at Li Xiao, he scolded, "Get lost and do your own thing."
A Liu hurriedly bowed his head and turned to leave.
Turning back, Chen Jue lowered his head to look at Li Xiao. He pulled Li Xiao's arm and felt her weak struggle.
Chen Jue stuffed the money into Li Xiao's hand and said, "You saved me just now. This is your reward. Don't think it's too little."
Li Xiao held the money in her hand in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
"Go, go, don't just stand here." After giving the money, Chen Jue let go of her hand.
He even impatiently drove her away, as if Li Xiao didn't want to leave.
"She …" Xu Ting frowned and stepped forward, wanting to stop him.
Chen Jue turned around and glared at Xu Ting, full of threat.
Xu Ting tactfully shut his mouth. It was better to say less in someone else's courtyard.
Especially since this Lord Chen wasn't an easy person to get along with!
After Li Xiao left the courtyard, Chen Jue wobbled back to the small pavilion in the courtyard and sat back down.
Now he didn't want to leave.
"Sir, you're letting her go just like that?" Zhang Tang was a bit absent-minded.
"What else?
Should I ask her to stay for dinner? "Picking up the cup, Chen Jue poured himself another cup of tea. He took small sips as he pondered.
"Sir, are you sure she's not the murderer?" Wang Hua finally turned around and returned to being a normal person.
"I'm not sure."
Chen Jue stared at the teacup in his hand, then raised his head and said, "If the murderer's target is Lady Liu, then the murderer shouldn't be Li Xiao.
If the murderer's target isn't Lady Liu, then it's Liu Yunan, then Li Xiao can't escape suspicion. "
"But … Li Xiao's behavior that day was very strange.
Sir, isn't it dangerous to let her go home like that? "Xu Ting frowned.
"Isn't it dangerous for someone with such great skills like you to wander around?" Chen Jue raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Ting.
"…" Xu Ting had to take a deep breath to suppress his anger. Couldn't this Lord Chen speak properly?
Was his zodiac sign a mad dog?
"Xu Ting, take two men with you and go to North City to investigate the relationship between the deceased.
Wang Hua, take two men with you to South City. "Chen Jue tapped the table." Go now. "
Xu Ting and Wang Hua heard Chen Jue's order. Although they had doubts about his previous decision, they still obeyed. They immediately raised their swords and prepared to pick two men to set off.
Chen Jue turned around again and said to Xu Ting's back, "Xu Ting, I heard that you have the ability to make people tell the truth. You can also see and find clues that others can't.
Although I can't transfer you to my place, I hope you won't disappoint me this time. "
Xu Ting turned around and met Chen Jue's eyes. Under the sunlight, his overly delicate face looked particularly tough because of his stubborn and proud expression.
He bowed to Chen Jue and acknowledged. Without saying another word, he turned around and left.
When only the people from the Dali Monastery were left in the courtyard, Chen Jue put down his teacup and muttered, "He's completely different from Wang Yi's personality. How did they become friends?"
"Friends should complement each other." Zhang Tang answered with a smile.
Xu Ting and Wang Yi had been friends since they were young. They played together until they grew up.
Chen Jue glared at him. Zhang Tang quickly stopped smiling and continued to organize the notes he had taken over the past two days.
"Did you find anything?" Chen Jue asked.
"The coroner confirmed that it was the same as the previous three cases. All the knives should be the same. The method is also the same." Zhang Tang handed the documents he had organized to Chen Jue and pointed out a few places for him to see.
"Did you find out who the owner of the jade piece found in the room of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites's youngest daughter-in-law belongs to?" Chen Jue asked.
Zhang Tang shook his head. "It doesn't belong to the owner. It's also an old piece of jade. It must belong to an outsider.
Although we assume that it belongs to the murderer, but … Wang Yi has already investigated it. "
What he meant was that he hadn't found the murderer yet.
Jue Chen pursed his lips. He felt as if there was a mysterious force pulling them back to several months ago, when the first case had occurred.
There were no clues, no suspects, and no evidence to point to anyone.
It seemed like everyone was a suspect, but no one could be the culprit.
It was the same this time. There were only four people in the room: Lady Liu, Liu Yunan, Wang Yi, and Li Xiao.
It was impossible for Wang Yi. When the previous three cases happened, Wang Yi was in public office.
Madam Liu couldn't have done it either. She was just a pregnant woman who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. Even if she could kill Liu Yunan, she couldn't have killed the three pregnant women from before. When the three cases were reported, Madam Liu was in the Liu Manor.
The First Madam of a big family was not a wanderer. She couldn't just wander around.
Was it Li Xiao?
According to the development of the incident that day, it didn't seem like it.
But they couldn't rule out the possibility that she had an accomplice and that she was the outpost.
It was as strange as the previous cases. Could it be that Liu Yunan killed herself?
The three pregnant women were all well-bred young ladies with powerful family backgrounds and daughters-in-law of famous families.
They only found a piece of jade at the scene. It might have been left behind by the murderer, but they didn't know.
The murder scene was almost untraceable.
This was the first time he encountered such an unpredictable murder case.
Thinking of the reason why he transferred Xu Ting, Chen Jue began to have doubts again. He heard that Xu Ting had a supernatural ability that ordinary people didn't have. He didn't know if it was true or not. Maybe he was just smart and talented. He was a detective genius and people exaggerated it.
Or … did he really have a supernatural ability?
As for the legendary divination technique, he had never taken it seriously.
If the divination was so accurate, then why did the Dali Monastery, the Ministry of Justice, and the Nine Gates need to set up an army?
They could just find a few divination masters to divine who the murderer was and who was going to commit the crime … Wouldn't that be enough?
However, after personally testing Li Xiao's divination skills today, he suddenly felt a little shaken.
Then … could these four strange unsolved cases be committed by a murderer with a supernatural ability?
For example … taking someone's life from thousands of miles away???
Thinking of this, Chen Jue only felt a headache. Was he starting to go crazy because of the pressure of solving the case?
"Where's Wang Yi?
Did that bastard go to the prison to see his old woman again? "
Chen Jue slammed the table, and his chest was full of anger. "He's so heartless every day. He only knows about love and useless things. Go and catch him!
If he doesn't clear his relationship with that woman, I'll lock up the Liu Fang Clan for life! "
"Sir, you sent Wang Yi to the House of Liu this morning … We dissected Young Master Liu's body without permission. Now, we have to inform the Liu Family in advance if we want to send the body back.
Then, you sent Wang Yi to investigate the origin of the jade handle … "Zhang Tang bit his cheeks for a long time before he spoke in a low voice.
The Dali Monastery's registrar, Zhang Tang, couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. Since he was young, he had always been determined to be a righteous master, but in the end, he ended up working under the 'King of Hell'!
What kind of sin did he commit …
"…" Chen Jue was speechless.
On the other hand, Li Xiao left the North Mansion yamen of the Dali Monastery. She still couldn't believe it.
Holding the silver in her hand, she kept looking back to make sure that she was indeed released!
Indeed, no one chased after her!
