Crystal candlestick? The candlestick Miss Zhou lit every night?

Jing Rong frowned, while a hint of surprise flashed across his sharp eyebrows.

"Is there a problem with that candle?"

Ji Yunshu thought for a moment. She had a big doubt in her mind, but then she realized that the murderer had already been executed. There couldn't be any other omissions!

So he shook his head, "It's nothing, I think... I was thinking too much. "

She lowered the oil-paper umbrella slightly and continued forward.

This scholar, his words were hard to guess, and his entire being seemed to be filled with mystery!

Jing Rong followed with big strides, at the same time, he circled his eyeballs and asked, "There is still a trace of doubt in this king's heart, I wonder if mister will be able to solve it?"

"Your highness wants to ask, why did I let Master Liu guard outside the Zhou Mansion?"

"How clever!"

Aiyo, he still hasn't asked, but I can't guess!

Jing Rong nodded his head in satisfaction: "This king just doesn't understand, how do you think the culprit is someone from Zhou Family? And he was still at the Zhou Family, waiting to be caught? If this king was the murderer, I would have escaped long ago! "

Ji Yunshu smiled mysteriously and explained calmly.

"Your highness, the murderer must be very familiar with the layout of the Zhou Family residence, so you can see that he isn't an outsider. Excluding master zhou and Madame Zhou, he can only be a servant of the Zhou Mansion, and since the culprit created the illusion of miss zhou falling, no one will suspect him, and there's no need for them to run away. Furthermore, the Zhou Mansion's servants have all signed contracts to sell their lives, so once they don't see him, they will naturally report it to the yamen. However, miss zhou hasn't reported anything in the past few days, so I'm certain that the culprit is still within the Zhou Mansion."

"And then?"

So, he must be very scared in his heart, so, he must want to escape. So, yesterday, when Master Liu left, I told him to secretly surround the Zhou Mansion with his men. If the killer really had the intention to escape, then the officials outside would be able to catch him.

"So, before you told Master Liu about all of this, you didn't even know who the culprit was." Jing Rong's pupils constricted.

Ji Yunshu nodded her head, "If you knew, you wouldn't have needed to stay in the Zhou Mansion for the night." Ji Yunshu nodded her head, "If you knew, you wouldn't have needed to stay in the Zhou Mansion for the night, and you wouldn't have realized that the killer wasn't one person, but two.

At this moment, Jing Rong actually had a little admiration for her!

But in the blink of an eye, his face tightened into a blaming expression, "Sir, since you're so smart, the method you used to lure out the second killer was too clumsy. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid sir would have already been lifted up to the infirmary."

He only knew that he was narrow-minded and that he was still thinking about this matter!

Didn't I just get you to help me!

But it was clearly a reprimand, so why was there so much worry and concern in it?

Ji Yunshu didn't want to think about it too deeply.

"If this can lead to the murderer, why not take the risk?"

"What a sharp tongue!"

"Since this little one has solved the confusion in Prince Rong's heart, then shouldn't I stop for a while? Otherwise, do you want to follow this little one home?"

Jing Rong, who was initially angry, suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled. He then turned his eyes to look at the gentle side of Ji Yunshu's face.

"So what if Mister's large bed can fit This King and follow you home?"

Could it be that the children of the royal family are all so shameless?

Ji Yunshu rolled her eyes at him in her heart.

"This humble one's family is too humble to pretend to be your highness. Please wait a moment, your highness."

Saying this, she quickened her pace.

Jing Rong was like a piece of candy. He suddenly stepped forward and turned around. His clothes brought along a strong wind as he stood straight in front of Ji Yunshu.

One was tall while the other was short. They stood facing each other.

If not for the fact that two umbrellas, one tall and the other short, had clashed together, Ji Yunshu's forehead would have hit Jing Rong's chest.

When Ji Yunshu raised her head, their eyes met.

As their eyes met, both of them felt their hearts tighten!

On the other hand, Jing Rong opened his mouth first: "You want to leave me like this?"

"Hmm?" These words caused Ji Yunshu's heart to tremble and her ears to turn red. Fortunately, it was covered by her green hair.

"Teacher, did you forget? When this case is over, you will investigate this case for me. How come you seem to have forgotten this matter in the blink of an eye?"

Jing Rong frowned, but his tone was a bit playful.

So it was for this!

But for no reason at all, the mere mention of leaving This King behind was enough to make people let their imaginations run wild!

Ji Yunshu heaved a sigh of relief.

Opening his mouth, he said, "Your Highness, even if you hang yourself, you still have to take a breather. Do you also want me to rest for the night and investigate tomorrow?"

"Who told you to not rest properly last night?"

She was speechless!

Hey, my lord, I was up all night trying to find a case!

It's better than not eating properly last night!

Seeing that Ji Yunshu had tensed up, Jing Rong seemed to have the upper hand as he showed a magnanimous expression: "Forget it, it's not like this king doesn't know how to empathize with others. If you want to rest, this king will let you rest for a day, and tonight, this king will be waiting for you at Morgue.

There was really something wrong with this person's brain!

She could even investigate bones!

Moreover, it was an inhumane night. The sky was cold and the earth was cold, so how could one day of rest be enough for her?

However …

"This humble one does not dare to disobey Your Highness's order. Then tonight, when we are at Evening, Morgue will not dissipate at all!"

Although she was well-behaved and sensible, why did it feel so awkward?

Jing Rong frowned as he considered her words. Ji Yunshu had already circled around his tall and straight body with her umbrella and left in large strides …

Jing Rong turned around and looked at the petite figure that was getting further and further away. The corner of his mouth slightly raised with a smile that was as strong as wine.

Lang Bo, who was watching from afar, saw the two of them leaving. Then, he quickly walked to the front of his master.

"Your Royal Highness, you and Mr. Ji … Did you mention Imperial State Duke? "

Jing Rong's expression immediately turned serious and his eyes became cold.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid there will be a lot of implications behind this case. Mr. Ji is smart, but he can't be so easily trusted. If something goes wrong, even This King can't afford it."

"This subordinate understands."

Jing Rong was puzzled for a moment and immediately ordered, "Investigate Mr. Ji's background in secret. The person this king wants must have a clean background."

Lang Bo bowed, "Yes."

Jing Rong let out a breath of cold air, but his gaze still remained fixed on the direction where Ji Yunshu's back gradually disappeared into the distance.

It had been half a year since he left the capital for the Imperial State Duke case.

If Ji Yunshu was trustworthy, the return trip to the capital wouldn't be far!
