The two of them arrived at Miss Zhou's yard in a row. There was no one guarding outside, and other than the lamps in the outer corners, the entire yard looked extremely eerie.
After all, miss zhou had just died and her corpse had not been buried yet. At this moment, no one dared to come.
"Clank ~"
There was a sound coming from inside the house! The candlelight was still flickering, and there were faint, flickering shadows moving around inside the room.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong looked at each other and pushed the door open. They were probably scared of the person inside. That person turned around abruptly and dropped the handkerchief in his hand. His body trembled slightly as he was stunned.
He saw that the woman's figure was relatively thin. She had the image of a wood bone, and her shoulders were powerless as they slumped down. She looked completely lifeless, and even her face was deathly pale.
However, he looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, so how could he be so sick?
"You are... Su Yun? " Ji Yunshu asked intuitively.
The girl's eyes were empty as she expressionlessly nodded her head.
"Why are you here?"
Su Yun trembled. She lowered her head and said softly, "Miss said that she doesn't like the darkness in the house. She wanted to light a lamp. That's why I came here and lit up the lamp."
The crystal chandelier had indeed been lit!
Ji Yunshu nodded. She did not ask any further and revealed her identity.
"Miss Su Yun, my surname is Ji. I came to investigate the cause of death of your Miss."
"I know, I've been informed about it." Su Yun's tone was dispirited and powerless.
"That's good."
As Ji Yunshu spoke, she saw the handkerchief that had slipped out of Su Yun's hands lying flat on the ground. She stepped forward and picked it up.
On the white handkerchief, there were two beautiful mulberry flowers. One was red and one was blue. As for the red mulberry flower, one of its horns had been cut and a thread had been cut off.
Ji Yunshu's eyes narrowed. "This flower looks really good. Did you embroider it yourself?"
"Yes."
"What a coincidence."
"Thank you …" "Thank you."
"Here, take it well. Don't throw it again. It won't look good if it gets dirty."
She gave the handkerchief back to Su Yun. When her slender fingers touched Ji Yunshu's hand, she grabbed the handkerchief and immediately retracted her hand. She didn't dare to raise her head from start to finish. Instead, she lowered her head even more.
"Then I won't disturb you any further." Su Yun bowed and prepared to leave.
Ji Yunshu stretched out her foot and tripped on her. Su Yun's body pounced forward. Luckily, Jing Rong, who was behind her, quickly supported her.
A hero saving a beauty!
After Su Yun stood firm, Jing Rong released her and retreated a few steps back. He looked at Ji Yunshu viciously with hidden rage.
Su Yun held onto her chest as she was also shocked. She raised her eyes and looked at Jing Rong carefully.
"Many thanks, Young Master."
Jing Rong did not answer.
Su Yun bit her pale lips and left in a hurry!
Jing Rong's expression turned from anger to black as he reprimanded Ji Yunshu: "Ridiculous, even if you want to give a woman to This King, shouldn't you consider this King's opinion?"
However, she didn't think so. "I don't understand what the Prince is saying."
"This King clearly saw that you deliberately tripped her."
"Yes, I purposely tripped her just now. So what?" Ji Yunshu spoke in a light tone, not light nor heavy.
But it was hiding a deeper meaning!
Jing Rong didn't know what was going on and was about to ask something when Ji Yunshu started to search the house for something.
"What are you looking for?"
Ji Yunshu rummaged through her luggage and replied, "Something that could scare those girls."
"Something you're afraid of?"
Ji Yunshu didn't have the time to deal with his suspicion. She searched around the room and finally found miss zhou's bed.
There were no clues on the layers of bedding. Ji Yunshu stretched out her hand and pulled away the neat and tidy blankets one by one, only revealing a small and exquisite box at the bottom.
She picked up the box and opened it. When she saw what was inside, all the doubts in her heart disappeared!
Closing the box, Ji Yunshu had a serious expression on her face. She turned around and walked to Jing Rong's side.
"Your Highness, tomorrow at dawn, we will solve this case."
These words confused Jing Rong more and more.
