Chapter 35 Another case
"So, is the prince's illness caused by that time, or is it innate?" Xuan Wei thought of this question.
After all, when she was still in the palace, in order to secure a relationship with Xiang Heng, a customer, she also used some of her personal skills, such as being his personal pharmacist.
"It's true that I'm sorry for him, and it was only from that time that he got the root of his illness." Luo Yihe readily admitted, "But it's okay... because after just a few days of escaping, someone came from the Dongyin Palace and said...
Looking for the illegitimate son left among the people. I took a look and found that the conditions were very consistent with the illegitimate son, so I handed him over to the people from the Dongyin Palace."
Xuan Wei listened and looked at him without saying a word.
"So, you were only in your teens when you experienced these things... Oh my god." She sighed, "Then why don't you go with the prince?"
"Hey, if you think about it, you know that in a place like that, you can't come out casually after you go in." Luo Yihe crossed his legs and swayed, "Although I don't want to eat, but compared to not being able to go out to play at any time, then I
I’d rather beg for food.”
Xuan Wei: "...So, the prince started to hate you because you sent him to the palace and made him lose the joy of begging... uh no, made him lose his freedom?"
Luo Yihe amused her, "What are you thinking? I told you, it's because he is jealous of my appearance -"
"I'm jealous that you look better than him and live a more chic life than him." Xuanwei rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I understand, I won't ask anymore."
Luo Yihe: "……."
Seeing him rarely showing the slightest hint of speechlessness, Xuan Wei felt secretly happy.
Well, it seems that the way to shut up the second uncle is to speak his words so that he has nothing to say.
wrong.
But she still didn't ask what was the reason for the breakup between the two...
"Second Master, it's time to mention the punishment department."
Luo Yihe jumped up from the couch and jumped out of the car with a roar.
It was obviously only the second time, but he seemed to be used to it, and extended his hand to Xuan Wei again.
Since he was used to it, Xuanwei could get used to it too. The two stood side by side in front of another door again, and the old cobbler once again stepped forward to knock the door knocker.
"Second Master Luo is visiting——"
"Congratulations to Mr. Luo!"
The difference this time was that before the old cobbler finished calling the door, the person inside opened the door first and shouted.
Xuan Wei: "……."
The second uncle is not a celebrity, so how can he be so excited?
Moreover, the person who opened the door and shouted surprised her. It was not a male official, but a young girl dressed neatly and smartly.
Looking at Luo Yihe, his eyes were still shining.
Luo Yihe glanced at her and nodded arrogantly, "Where is your brother?"
The girl seemed a little disappointed that he ignored her, but she still responded positively: "Brother went to the crime scene early in the morning and should be back soon!"
"Crime scene?" Luo Yihe was a little surprised and started to return to the carriage. "I'm going to commit the crime as soon as I get here? Then I'll go."
"No, no!" the girl said hurriedly, fearing that he would really leave, "Brother said it was a serial murder, and there had been two of them before you came!"
Luo Yihe raised his eyebrows and returned to the carriage with both feet: "Serial murder case? It's interesting. Come on, let's go to the scene too!"
"Hey, second master--" The girl couldn't stop him. She saw the woman getting into the car right behind Luo Yihe, and asked in a low voice, "Who is she..."
"I've met the second master!"
The old cobbler was about to drive his car when a man's shouting accompanied by the sound of horse hooves came from the intersection.
"Oh, by chance, I was just going to meet you at the scene." Luo Yihe jumped out of the carriage again to say hello, and once again offered Xuanwei's hand to introduce the visitor.
"Chu Su, this is my daughter-in-law. Huahua, this is the benefactor who helped me solve the siege by killers ten years ago. Today, Chu Su is in charge of the punishment department in Taozhou."
The second uncle will also have a benefactor. Xuanwei has already been numbed by the drama of someone pretending to be a husband and wife. He is a little surprised in his heart and looks at this man who has dismounted and has a dusty life.
He is tall, but not as burly as a warrior, and more robust than a civil servant. He has a dignified appearance, upright facial features, and dark wheat-colored skin. He feels very solid and reliable.
"Master Chu." She nodded and said softly.
Chu Su was also sizing her up. When he heard her voice, he lowered his head and clasped his fists: "I have met the second lady."
"Second Madam?!" The face of the girl at the door of the Punishment Department changed, and she stared blankly at Xuan Wei in disbelief, "Second Master, are you married...?"
Luo Yihe glanced at her strangely, "I'm already twenty-one. Isn't it weird that I don't have a wife yet?"
You also know that you are strange, Xuan Wei rolled his eyes silently.
"Show me the way, where are we staying? The cobbler will help me put down my things." Luo Yihe stretched his neck, "By the way, give my wife a boudoir for girls to sleep in. It should be comfortable."
The girl's eyes seemed to be red, and her voice became viscous: "Go back to the Second Master, there are no extra guest rooms in the Criminal Division, let alone a comfortable boudoir."
Luo Yihe said, "It's okay, then you can room with me. My bed should be okay?"
The girl seemed to be excited all of a sudden and stamped her foot: "Wait a minute! There should be some vacancies! I'll collect them right away!"
Before she finished speaking, she turned around and left quickly.
Chu Su shook his head helplessly and smiled apologetically at the two of them, "My sister-in-law is fooling around, I hope the second master and second wife will show their respect."
Luo Yihe smiled and said: "It's okay, we won't suffer any loss anyway. Right, Huahua?"
Xuan Wei: "......" If you don't suffer a loss, I almost suffered a big loss.
Not wanting to deal with this idiot, she directly changed the subject: "Are you still going to the crime scene?"
"Oh, right, I almost forgot about the real thing." Luo Yihe coughed twice, pretending to be serious and asked Chu Su: "I heard that there was a serial murder case here?"
Chu Su smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, the third incident was discovered at 4 o'clock in the morning today. The second incident occurred at 16 o'clock in the morning, and the first incident occurred at 4 o'clock on the fourth day of the lunar month two months ago."
Luo Yihe rolled his eyes, "There is no connection between the Five Elements and Bagua in these three days. Why do you think it's a series? The killing methods are the same, or the scenes are the same? Or what?"
"...Both are, and neither are." Speaking of this, Chu Su's upright facial features were slightly distorted, "They all look like accidents, but... they are all the same accident."
"Hey~" Luo Yihe whistled, "It sounds very interesting——"
"Has the scene of the third case been cleaned up?" Xuan Wei quickly interrupted his inappropriate words and asked, "If it hasn't been confiscated yet, I want to take a look."
Ah, such a pure and beautiful lady wants to see the scene of a murder? Chu Su was stunned and turned to Luo Yihe for advice.
Luo Yihe raised an eyebrow: "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you reply to my wife quickly?"
Chu Su hurriedly bowed: "...Yes, the scene has not been cleaned up yet. Second Madam, please. Second Master, you...?"
"When my wife goes, of course I will go too." He took Xuanwei and got into the car, "Lead the way!"
"Yes!" Chu Su looked at the figure of his sister hidden behind the gate warningly, got on his horse again and led the way.
