C40 (1/2)
Hearing that Su Li was about to dig Liu Yin's grave, Ugly Woman rushed over like crazy.
Seeing her like this, Su Li made up his mind even more.
”I want to dig Liu Yin's grave!”
she repeated.
Mo Lianjin retracted his gaze and looked at Su Li's stubborn appearance coldly.
”Why should I believe you?”
”If the case can't be solved by the end of the year, I'll let you handle it.”
Mo Lianjin lowered his eyes in silence, looking a little more serious.
”If the person buried in the grave wasn't Liu Yin, then we wouldn't count as digging for Miss Assistant Minister Mansion's grave.”
”What if there is no 'if'?”
Su Li bit her lips, ”If there are no 'ifs', I will take all the blame.”
Mo Lianjin suddenly leaned towards her and whispered into her ear, ”I want you to promise me that you can do something for me free.”
Su Li's eyes flashed, ”What's the matter?”
”When the time is ripe, This King will naturally say it.”
Su Li frowned slightly. She hated this kind of unknown thing, but right now, she had no other choice.
”Alright, as long as it doesn't endanger my life or violate my principles of being a human, I'll promise you. But tonight, no matter what I do, you have to follow me.”
Mo Lianjin gave a low laugh, and a layer of ridicule appeared on his face, ”Aren't you afraid that this king will make you his concubine?”
”I don't have anyone else, so what do I have to fear if you fall for me?”
Su Li put on a fearless look, and immediately straightened his back in a bored manner, ”Wang Quanan, do as Su Li says.”
Wang Quanan opened his mouth in shock, ”This...”
”To do things in secret. If anything happens, This King will bear the burden.”
Mo Lianjin's tone turned cold. Without further ado, he turned around and left the dungeon to arrange for a group of people.
Ugly Woman was still shaking the metal fence, and the last time Su Li looked at her, her eyes were filled with tears, and with a plop, she kneeled on the ground.
Su Li pursed her pale lips, ”I know she's innocent and pitiful, but the mistake is that you guys used the wrong method to take revenge. You shouldn't have embarked on such an extreme path.”
When the two of them came out of the dungeon, Wang Quanan had already prepared a carriage.
Just as Mo Lianjin sent Su Li to the carriage, an official came to report, ”Fifth Prince, Lord Magistrate, the murderer has been apprehended.”
A few of them were shocked, but Wang Quanan was the first to ask, ”Explain in detail.”
”This subordinate caught him outside of Assistant Minister Mansion. He had a dagger, changed clothes, and a pig's heart.”
Su Li opened the carriage's curtain weakly and said, ”It should be Jing An who wants to kill Liu Rong. Magistrate Wang, quickly interrogate him and find out where the other female murderer is.
After Wang Quanan received Mo Lianjin's nod of approval, he left with the official.
Mo Lianjin got on the carriage, Song Lai and the other official were in charge of driving the carriage, the rest of the officials rode on their horses and went forward.
Along the way, Su Li made Song Lai speed up a bit more.
There was only slightly more than an hour left before 8 o'clock. She had to survive!
Mo Lianjin sat on the outside without saying a word as he carefully examined Su Li who was in a hurry to solve this case.
This woman was becoming harder and harder to figure out!
Ordinary people would not have the strength to do anything else after taking thirty blows.
She wouldn't even take the medicine. She just wanted to finish the case overnight!
Fortunately, Liu Yin's burial site wasn't far away, and it didn't take long for them to arrive.
Su Li couldn't leave, he could only let Mo Lianjin carry him.
The officials who had arrived first had already started digging. The night was as dark as ink, and a few crows were cawing.
