”Yin …”
Vice Minister Liu and his wife surrounded him. Coupled with the Ugly Woman, their crying made his heart break.
Jing An who was holding Liu Yin suddenly pulled out the silver hairpin from her hair bun and aimed it at her neck, and pierced it fiercely through her throat!
”Ah …”
Seeing this scene, the crowd cried out once again, not knowing how to react.
Jing An pulled out the silver hairpin forcefully and carefully used a blood-stained hand to hold Liu Yin's roundly widened eyes.
His mouth was bleeding, but he was smiling contentedly.
”I'll go with you. No one else can stop us from being together …”
Jing An coughed a few mouthfuls of blood, looking at Vice Minister Liu and his wife imploringly.
”Lord, please... Whoa, take me and Yin'er … ”To be buried together!”
Before he could even respond, his body fell backwards.
Su Li suddenly thought of something, she walked a few steps forward, and shook Jing An.
”Tell me, on that night at Precious Moon House, other than Chen Ba, who else was there?”
Jing An closed her eyes as the corners of her lips trembled open.
Su Li bent down and pressed her ear close to him.
After a few seconds, Jing An laid beside Liu Yin without moving, completely lifeless.
Even in death, his arms were wrapped tightly around her.
Su Li stood up with a heavy heart and shook his body weakly. Just as he was about to fall down, he was stopped by Mo Lianjin's hand.
”What did he say?”
Su Li looked up at Mo Lianjin's clearly defined face. ”Shouldn't you be curious about the cause of his death?”
Mo Lianjin frowned, and supported her up to sit on the soft chair.
”This king is curious about the person who taught Liu Yin medicine.”
”I feel that Liu Yin's death must be related to that person. She was fine all along, but just as she was about to say who that person was, she strangely committed suicide. I need to do a detailed autopsy on her body.”
”I'm afraid the Assistant Minister Mansion will not agree.”
”You are the Fifth Prince, you can't possibly not have a way, right?”
”Leave this matter to This King, but This King needs a definite autopsy result. Can you really do it?”
Su Li looked at the suddenly serious Mo Lianjin and could not help but be confused.
During the entire interrogation, he only spoke two sentences, and all of them were related to the person who taught Liu Yin medicine.
As the two of them spoke, Wang Quanan had already dealt with the change in the court.
Song Lai also returned to his seat.
During the final interrogation, Su Li explained for the Ugly Woman, ”Although Ugly Woman is hiding in the Chen Family Village and informed Jing An and Chen Shuisheng about when she consumed the medicine, she did not participate in the killing of the corpses, so she will not be punished for her crimes.”
”That's right, that's right. Lord Magistrate, please forgive this loyal maidservant.”
The commoners outside the court also issued their requests for orders.
Vice Minister Liu and his wife also wiped away their tears and pleaded for Ugly Woman.
Amongst the three of them, Mo Lianjin's identity was the most precious.
”Since the two main culprits of the Case of Heart Stealing have been dealt with, the Ugly Woman hurting her own tongue can also be considered as a repudiation, thus this case is concluded.”
”The Fifth Prince is wise!”
Su Li looked at Ugly Woman. Although everyone was happy that she didn't need to be punished, she still knelt beside Liu Yin's corpse and cried silently.
Chen Quan who was beside her, kept wiping her tears with his sleeves.
The Case of Heart Stealing had finally formed.
After the spectators dispersed, Minister Liu also left.
He did not know what Mo Lianjin and Vice Minister Liu had said, but they had agreed to send Liu Yin's and Jing An's corpses to the Yi Village.
Before Ugly Woman brought Chen Quan away, his heart was like dying embers as he bowed towards Su Li.
Su Li could not bear it, he called out to her, ”Do you think Liu Yin committed suicide?”
Ugly Woman looked at Su Li with a puzzled expression.
