C215 (2/2)
Su Li recalled that there was indeed an ancient locust tree between the small hill and the training grounds. Speaking of it, the location of the ancient locust tree was relatively close to the training grounds, and a little far away from the small hill.
”Does Third Prince know Shi Cheng?”
”I don't know him. Is he a high-ranking officer?”
Su Li shook his head and asked, ”The Third Prince is under the ancient scholar tree, have you seen anyone suspicious?”
”I really don't have any of that. I only have eyes for those soldiers who were practicing. I didn't notice what happened in the other directions, nor did I notice anyone walking past.”
A watertight confession.
If he continued to ask, there probably wouldn't be any result.
Su Li was silent for a while, then he said a few unimportant words to Mo Lianyun and indicated that he could go back now.
The second person who was brought in was Fatty Luo, who was brought in at noon.
He was the chef in the kitchen, so the moment he entered the tent, the smell of cooking oil immediately spread throughout his body.
Su Li intentionally looked at his hand, it was smeared with oil.
The shoes of the deceased had left an oily mark of the murderer, and he was satisfied with this point.
Fatty Luo rubbed his hands together and looked down, not daring to look at anyone.
”Someone saw you go towards the hill at noon.” Su Li asked his first sentence.
Hearing that, Fatty Luo instantly raised his head to look at Su Li, then quickly lowered his head, his shoulders shook a bit, ”It wasn't me, I didn't kill anyone.”
”I'm not asking if you killed anyone. I'm just asking if you went to the hillside.” Su Li's tone turned cold, and the word ”bite” became a bit heavier than before.
The Fatty Luo trembled even more, ”I … I went to the hillside, I'll go … Then he fell asleep in a haystack on the left side of the hill. ”
”Why are you sleeping over there?”
”Where... There's a waterfall there. It's cool. ”
On the left side of the small mountain, there were indeed many haystacks, but the location was just in front of the small mountain. If the Fatty Luo was there taking a nap, it would be difficult for him to find out what was happening behind the small mountain.
But was he really just taking a nap there?
”Prince's Wife Mincha, I didn't kill you, I …” Fatty Luo mustered his courage to defend himself.
Su Li interrupted him with a cold voice, ”Do you know Shi Cheng?”
”Yes, yes.” Fatty Luo nodded his head to confess, and only after a moment did he react, ”The one who died, was it him?”
Su Li did not directly answer him, and pressed on, ”Between you and him, did you have any conflicts?”
”No, no, absolutely not.”
”So far, you seem to be the person closest to the hillside. Did you see or hear anything?”
”As soon as I went to the haystack, I fell asleep. Afterwards, I was woken up and saw that everyone was walking towards the hillside. I was afraid that people would find out I was there, so I hid it. After everyone had dispersed, I sneaked back to the kitchen.”
”If you think of anything, just let me know.” Su Li indicated for Fatty Luo to leave.
Fatty Luo heaved a sigh of relief. When he heard that he could leave, he immediately relaxed.
After he left, Su Li glanced at Mo Lianjin who was sitting leisurely at the side, ”This is your territory, a murder case has occurred, why are you not worried at all?”
”With you here, what do I need to worry about?” Mo Lianjin sipped on his tea. To him, watching Su Li investigate a case was an extremely interesting thing.
Su Li rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. If it wasn't for her HP, she wouldn't rush.
The sky outside gradually darkened.
When Mo Jiu brought the Military Doctor in, he lit up all the candles in the tent and then left.
The medic was a middle-aged man.
The clothes he was wearing had been torn by something, making him look slightly embarrassed.
