After exiting the coroner's house, Su Mu slowly connected the scenes and clues of the past few days in his mind and decided to search for the next clue.
”Brother Su, where are we going?” Bao Fusheng curiously asked as he followed behind Su Mu.
Su Mu stopped and turned around to explain, ”Let's go to the He family.” Where did the doll come from? The most likely target was still the He family's eldest daughter.
”He Clan?” Which He Clan? ” Ye Zichen was even more confused.
The He Clan was actually the fiancee that the coroner had said they were related to, the one who had been engaged to a child ever since they were children. Su Mu had stayed in Wu City for nearly three months after all. The streets and alleys were places where gossip spread. Thus, he had heard quite a bit about the Zhu Family's small and large affairs.
The one who described it the most frequently was the heartless and unfaithful He family.
It was rumored by the people outside that the He and Zhu Families were originally famous families in Wu City, and the old masters of the two families were good friends who had spent their lives together.
Thus, at that time, they had promised to marry a child. Unfortunately, at that time, both of their grandfathers had given birth to sons, so they had postponed the marriage to their grandsons.
Unfortunately, due to Lord Zhu's poor management, the Zhu Family's business had fallen. The He Family had turned hostile, saying that the Zhu Family needed to use the land deed as collateral, so they were willing to marry their daughter.
At that time, her mother hadn't passed away, so she was born into a rich family. She was noble and proud, and completely ignored the He family's unreasonable demands, saying that she would rather her son be single than allow him to exchange his family property for the He family's daughter.
Thus, the two clans came to an agreement. This was one of the few friendly old madams of the reclusive Old Madam Zhu, and was also the kind that everyone knew.
In actuality, when Madam Zhu had been killed, the commoners had said privately that it was Master He who had felt that he had been humiliated by a woman and hated her for it. He had hired a killer from the martial arts world to kill Madam Zhu. However, this was only a rumor among the people, and it was hard to tell if it was true or false.
However, after the coroner's reminder, Su Mu suddenly thought of this line and felt that he should go to the He family to investigate.
After hearing from Su Mu that they would go to the He family, even though Bao Fu Cheng didn't stay in Wu City for long, he knew that it wasn't a good idea. Thus, he suggested, ”If the two of us go, the He family might not care about cooperating with us.
”Brother Lin's words are reasonable.” Perhaps it was due to him wanting to solve the case, but Su Mu didn't care about this. He only came to his senses after hearing Bao Fusheng's advice.
Thus, the two of them turned around and ran to the yamen.
Lin Yi and Wang Yu were sitting opposite each other without saying anything. Hearing that they were going to the He family, Wang Yi stood up and said, ”I'll go.”
He really didn't feel at ease in letting Su Mu, who was helpless, take the risk time and again.
The silent Lin Yi leisurely waved the folding fan in his hand, and said to the bag Floating Life, ”You can't do that?”
Bao Fusheng received Lin Yi's ridicule and once again gnashed his teeth.
In the end, the four of them left for the He family with four pretentious constables behind them.
Wang Dong deliberately pulled Su Mu behind him and whispered to him, ”Sir Lin should be the current crown prince.”
Even Su Mu, who had prepared his identity beforehand, was startled when he heard this. The crown prince?
Afraid that Su Mu wouldn't believe it and couldn't help but make a mistake, Wang Mu indicated for Su Mu to look at Lin Yi, who was walking in front.
