C105 (2/2)
Su Li frowned, ”You suspect that we have ghosts? Or, you suspect Song Lai? ”
Mo Lianjin said meaningfully, ”Just in case, this king trusts you.”
”Alright, then what should we do next?”
”This king will bring the case file back to the prefecture.”
”Then let's do it.”
As soon as Su Li finished speaking, Mo Lianjin approached her and raised his hand. He used his wide sleeves to cover her head and shielded her from the rain which was starting to get bigger.
Su Li leaned on his side, and slightly turned his head, looking at his divinely angered face. Although his sleeves were covering her head, it was as if he was blocking all the rain and wind for her.
The two of them silently walked towards the Fifth Prince's Mansion, and did not speak anymore.
There were not many people on the street, so as the two walked in the rain, they gradually formed a scenery.
Boom! *
In a teahouse on the street, Mo Lianxuan sat in front of a window.
His eyes were filled with the scene of Su Li and Mo Lianjin walking in the rain, the scene was too beautiful, so it was too dazzling.
He dropped a teacup and the teapot.
”Crown Prince …” Upon hearing the sound, Mu Nian entered and looked at the fragments on the ground with a terrified expression.
”Did he take a fancy to her talents?”
Mu Nian lowered his head, not daring to reply.
”I will not do as he wishes. If he wants to fight with me, is he worthy?”
Mo Lianxuan then looked at Mu Nian, ”Go to the General's Mansion and tell them that when I go the next day, there must not be a single person missing from the General's Mansion.”
”Yes.” Mu Nian took the order and left.
Su Li did not know that danger was approaching.
After she returned to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, her body was only slightly wet, but Mo Lianjin was completely drenched.
The gauze over his wound was stained with water, so Su Li was afraid of getting infected. He hurriedly got Greenwood to take out the Gold Sore Medicine and sprinkled it all over his wounds, then bandaged them again.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was heavy.
The case file had been delivered in the evening, and Mo Lianjin had also come to her room. With a light candle, the two of them started to look through the case file.
Su Li looked at it very seriously.
”Fifth Prince.” Su Li called out.
”Hmm?” Mo Lianjin moved closer to her and looked at the case file in her hands.
The two of them were very close, their foreheads pressed against each other. He did it on purpose, but she didn't notice it.
”Look at this. The criminal in other people's eyes is a pure and kind person, but he exterminated his entire family, not even sparing a three-month-old infant.”
”It really is abnormal.”
His parents forced him to marry a girl he disliked, and his elder brother and sister-in-law bullied him day after day. His second brother was a gambler, and he deserved to die, and his third brother was lazy and lazy, so it was better for him to live than to die.
Mo Lianjin pursed his lips and did not say a word.
Su Li continued, ”On the surface, it seems like he killed his entire family because of a lot of grievances and dissatisfaction, but I think that there must be a straw that was used to crush him. It's very likely that the person behind him did something …”
”He was executed after the fall and is still being held in prison.” Mo Lianjin squinted his eyes, ”I will arrange for you to meet him once in the prison.”
”Alright.”
The two of them continued to look at the file and found several more similar cases, but most of the offenders had been executed.
Until he saw the case file from three years ago, the figure of the person behind him had yet to appear.
By the time Greenwood had taken the case file away, it was already late at night.
Su Li was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, as he followed Mo Lianjin to the front hall.
The dishes were served as a maidservant laid out beside Mo Lianjin.
The delicate fragrance of the servant girl was extremely faint, but it still caused Su Li to frown and hold his breath.
”Your highness, do you want a drink …”
Before the maidservant could finish her words, a sharp blade suffused with cold light directly slashed across her throat …
