C6 In the woodshed

Wu City Yamen.

Wang He anxiously circled around, even though it was almost night time, he was still standing in the hall at the backyard of the county magistrate.

Accompanying him was the expressionless Lin Yi and the uneasy County Magistrate.

Although the county magistrate still had his mind on the concubine, he was more afraid that he would not be able to keep his head, so he said in a flattering tone, "Two gongzis, why don't you both go take a rest? This official has already arranged a place for you and your servant girls."

Speaking of the servant girl, she was the beauty that the county magistrate had tried his best to find in a thousand miles radius. She wanted to make use of this opportunity to make herself up to Lin Yi so that he wouldn't settle the score with her before he left.

After Lin Yi heard this, he closed his fan, "Put aside your dirty thoughts, get lost."

The County Magistrate was so scared that he started to piss his pants. He held the black veil hat on his head and hurriedly crawled away.

Only Lin Yi and Wang He were left in the hall.

Lin Yi was completely confused by Wang He's actions, "You don't have to be so anxious for your brother, it's just investigating the case. Moreover, Floating Life is by his side, nothing will happen to him."

"I have also sent my Dark Guard to ambush around Zhu Family.

Hearing that Lin Yi had sent someone else to protect him, Wang He could finally ease his worry a little. He could not help but think of what Su Mu had said before he left: "His identity is not simple."

Although Wang He was not as cunning as Su Mu, he was still an extraordinary person. He casually glanced at the dignified sitting posture. There was a piece of white jade from the Qilin King's Realm hanging at his waist. According to the large scale etiquette, only the Crown Prince could wear this kind of object.

Lin Yi was actually the crown prince.

Unlike the excitement and undulations within the county magistrate court, the Zhu Family Palace on the east street of Wu City exuded a silence that caused one's hair to stand on end.

Bao Fusheng moved a chair to lean behind the door of the house, quietly observing his surroundings for any unusual movements, but to no avail.

Su Mu was drawing on the round table with a brush, and called Bao Fusheng over after a while.

On the small round table, there was actually a simple map of the Zhu Mansion. The path to the house, and even any part of the forest, were all marked out.

Even Bao Fusheng, who had followed behind Lin Yi since he was young, and had seen many strange things, was once again subdued by Su Mu.

He did not expect that after simply strolling around the Zhu Mansion in the afternoon, he was able to remember all the scenery of the Zhu Mansion.

"How did you do it?" Bao Fusheng was curious, and could not resist himself.

Su Mu raised his head and smiled gently. "My father taught me to be diligent in remembering since I was young. He recited many poems and after a while, I have already surpassed ordinary people."

Thinking about her father's teachings, Su Mu couldn't help but feel sad, but she only lied to Bao Fusheng.

"Your hall is able to bring up a son with both martial arts and literature like your two brothers. It is truly extraordinary." Bao Fusheng praised sincerely.

This topic was too sensitive to Su Mu, so it was a mistake. She changed the topic, "I want to take a look here first." His slender finger pointed towards the Zhu Family wood house on the simple diagram.

He recalled that when the manservant brought the two of them to this place, there seemed to be a strange noise coming from there, and he only replied that the manservant had two big dogs.

Bao Fusheng also thought about this and agreed.

The full moon was no longer in the sky, but the light was still there, making the night even colder.

Only when the sounds of people talking outside of the residence disappeared, did Su and Bao take advantage of the moonlight to sneak into the depths of the Zhu Mansion Academy.

As the two of them got closer to the woodshed, the wailing of a baby became clearer and clearer. Even the barking of a vicious dog could not be stopped.

Bao Fusheng looked at Su Mu in shock, "Child?"

When Su Mu came over in the afternoon, he heard a faint crying sound. He thought he was hallucinating, but now it was confirmed that there was something fishy going on.

Just as the two were about to enter the woodshed to investigate, the ferocious dog's loud howls suddenly attracted the attention of a servant who came out during the night.

"Stupid dog, what are you barking about!?" If you ask me again, I'll kill you! " Perhaps because he was asleep in a daze, the attendant did not notice the crying that was mixed within the barking of the dog. He merely spat towards the door of the woodshed and walked over to the willow tree.

Bao and Su appeared, alertly hiding themselves within the grass.

When the servant returned to his room, Su Mu was about to stand up and survey his surroundings when Bao Fusheng pressed on his head and lowered him to the ground.

It was not the servant who had just returned, but rather a black figure holding a key as he opened the door. The person who seemed to be acquainted with the dog in the room suddenly stopped howling, leaving behind only the weak cry of a baby. After entering, the person turned around and looked around before closing the door.

Borrowing the cold moonlight, Bao Fusheng could vaguely see the figure of the person as she closed the door. It was Nanny Liu who pretended to be deaf and mute.

The two stayed where they were for a while longer until all the sounds had disappeared from the woodshed. Then, they slowly walked towards their mother's courtyard.

When they were far away from the firewood house, Bao Fusheng saw that there was no one around, so he stopped Su Mu and mouthed, "Nanny Liu."

Su Mu immediately understood and nodded, then continued to lead Bao Fusheng into the crime scene.

As if to make it clear that there was no difference between the inside of the house and the inside of the house, the scene of the crime was the courtyard that her mother lived in. "It was as if they were waiting for someone to come observe them.

Seeing this, Bao Fusheng knew that Su Mu's guess was right, even if there were any traces left behind, they would have all been erased and placed there to wait for people to see.

However, Su Mu continued to carefully investigate, not leaving a single trace behind.

As for Bao Fusheng who had followed Lin Yi throughout the north and south of the river, he was also an experienced interrogator. He immediately cooperated with Su Mu and began investigating.

However, even though the tables and chairs on the carpet had been lifted and looked at, there was nothing to be found.

But what has been done cannot be left without a trace.

Bao Fusheng lowered his head and lied down, feeling pain in his neck. Suddenly, he raised his head and wanted to turn around, but his gaze focused on the roof beam above his head.

With a leap, Bao Fusheng used her good lightness techniques and climbed onto the roof beams, squatting down on them, she extended a finger to wipe the dried up blood. He gestured again with his hand to the hard line that seemed to graze across the barricade.

After squatting at the top for about half a cup of tea's time, Bao Fusheng finally jumped down.

Su Mu, who seemed to be looking for something at the door, also noticed something. He gently pushed the door open and closed.

With a rough idea in mind, Su Mu called Bao Fusheng over. The two of them covered the moon and the stars as they returned to the resting room without leaving a trace.

Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, he used a small charcoal pen to exchange the traces he had observed.

The murder case of Zhu Mansion seemed to be on the verge of being solved.
