After Su Li heard this, he handed the portrait over to Song Lai, "Take a good look at it, are you sure you know her?"

Song Lai nodded without hesitation, "Does Fourth Miss still remember the pig cage mentioned on the carriage today?"

"Assistant Minister Mansion's Miss Liu?"

"It was her. Because that was the first time I saw a corpse in the water, I still remember that day vividly."

"What does the Ugly Woman have to do with that?"

"She was Miss Liu's personal maid. When Master and I were helping Miss Liu to bury her, she cried miserably by the side. In the end, she lost consciousness and was carried away."

Su Li frowned, and did not speak for a long time.

Song Lai opened his mouth and said uneasily, "Fourth Miss..."

"Looks like I need to make a trip to the Assistant Minister Mansion."

"Now?"

Su Li withdrew his gaze, raised his hand and knocked on Song Lai's head: "Today's matter is over, there's no more investigation, go and get something to eat, I'm hungry."

Song Lai stood there in a daze for a while, then reacted and quickly replied, "Yes."

Song Lai went to the kitchen.

Mo Lianjin sat in the lobby, he did not know where he found a book, but he was immersed in it.

Su Li then took a bath and prepared to wash himself clean.

She sat in the bucket and stared at the scab on her wrist.

It was not because he cared about the additional wound on his body, but because he was considering how he would be able to obtain a clue without Vice Minister Liu coming to report if he went to Assistant Minister Mansion tomorrow.

After all, she couldn't even protect herself right now. There were a few sharp blades hanging from her head, and if she wasn't careful, she wouldn't be able to survive.

Furthermore, there was no evidence to prove that the Case of Heart Stealing was related to Assistant Minister Mansion. If they recklessly looked for it like this, no one would cooperate with them.

Although Mo Lianjin was still here, how much could she trust this man?

Su Li withdrew his train of thoughts, clenched his fists and spat out a mouthful of impure air.

After she finished showering, she went to the great hall, where Song Lai was already preparing the dishes.

Coincidentally, Mo Lianjin put down the book in his hand, and unwittingly, looked at Su Li who was walking towards the table.

The other side of her face was in perfect condition, facing his line of sight. Her long and narrow eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she wore a black dress. She was resolute and decisive, lacking the charm that a woman should have.

Song Lai was also stunned for a moment, she could not help but exclaim in her heart, if only her face was not ruined, how great that would be!

"How is it? Is it good? " Su Li twirled in place in a beautiful manner, "Actually I would really like to know, why did you choose black for me with so many colors?"

Song Lai stammered, "I was only thinking, that Fourth Miss would conduct an autopsy in the future, wearing a black outfit that doesn't show any dirt."

Su Li: "..."

After the three of them finished their dinner, the night sky quickly turned dark.

Song Lai knew that Mo Lianjin wanted to spend the night in Yi Village, so he tactfully gave up his bed, but was rejected.

"This King will leave when it's too ugly."

"Are you so sure that it will appear before the killer's ugly appearance?" Su Li squinted his eyes.

"There are too many people who want you dead. Don't you have your own points?"

Su Li was sitting across from Mo Lianjin, and after hearing his words, she couldn't help but get closer to him, and support his cheeks as she asked.

"So you don't want me to die?"

Mo Lianjin pursed her lips, then curled her finger in disdain and flicked it right at the tip of Su Li's nose.

"Scary, stay away from this king."

Su Li had been on guard since the moment he made his move, but she had to admit that Mo Lianjin gave her a formless pressure, and when his hand reached over, she simply could not move.

Clutching his nose that was stinging of pain, Su Li was just about to speak, when Mo Lianjin's expression suddenly turned heavy.

"Someone's coming!"

"It should be in the middle of the night, come quickly enough!" Su Li laughed coldly in the bottom of his heart as he looked at Song Lai. "When we fight later on, hide better."

Song Lai clenched his fists tightly and nodded!

Mo Lianjin looked at Su Li with a funny expression, "What? You want to do it yourself? "

Before Su Li could reply, crackling sounds came from outside.

Only then did she react, "You arranged a group of people around the Yi Village?"

"Could it be that you think, for you, I will lower myself to fight against those lowly things?"

"?"

The sounds of fighting outside only lasted for a few minutes before it quieted down.

Mo Lianjin slowly got up and walked out.

Su Li followed closely behind. She wanted to see who it was that could not hold back any longer and wanted to take her life!
