Chapter 62: I'll Be With You (Nail Case 17)(1/2)

It was already very warm in the car, and Song Yuan handed her another Tang Pozi. Huaixiu didn't know that Brother Song was so afraid of the cold, "Why is Brother Song here?"

Song Yuandao said, "I was looking for you. I was passing by here and saw you."

Since the past two days, the two had some unpleasant conversations. Huaixiu thought that Song Yuan was angry with her and would not come to see her again. In fact, she did not want to have more contact with him, but she did not want the two of them to be dirty. She regretted it.

When they met again, Huaixiu was surprised and happy, "Isn't Brother Song angry?"

"Huh?" Seeing her aggrieved look, Song Yuan suddenly felt something in his heart. He smiled hoarsely, "How could I be angry with you?"

Really not? Huaixiu didn't quite believe it. That night, he clearly looked ugly and left without saying a few words. However, Huaixiu still breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Song Yuan took out a plate of pastries from the food box, "Would you like to eat it?"

Huaixiu was surprised, pretending to be relaxed and joking, "Brother Song always brings food with him?"

Song Yuan said naturally, "I brought it specially for you. Tell me what you want to eat in the future. Don't accept other people's food casually."

Huaixiu's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked up, Song Yuan's eyes were looking elsewhere.

"Oh." Huaixiu responded softly, a little confused about what he meant? But it must not be what she thought. He was just her sister next door, that's why he cared so much, but this kind of concern would

Make her...very uncomfortable.

Huaixiu picked up a peach blossom cake and ate it. It turned out that Brother Song gave him cakes, which were more delicious than cakes. Huaixiu thought to himself as he ate one after another. Seeing this, Song Yuan frowned again.

"Did you go to Dali Temple to meet Feng Erniang?" Song Yuan asked.

Huaixiu nodded, "But she didn't ask anything. She didn't seem to care about her situation. I heard that even Du Heng couldn't do anything to her."

Song Yuan handed her another cup of tea and said, "There's no use asking her. You should go find Xu Hanshan."

"Xu Hanshan? Brother Song also knows about his threat to me?"

"Xu Changan said it."

"Why would he tell you?"

Song Yuandao said, "I gave her a little benefit. She can get half the discount when she goes shopping at Jinyi Pavilion in the future."

What? Huaixiu's eyes widened.

Song Yuan glanced at her, "Why, you don't want me to know?"

"No, I was going to tell Brother Song." Huaixiu said truthfully. However, that night, he kept asking about Zhu Yu and looked ugly, so she had no chance to tell him.

Song Yuan was deeply touched after hearing this, and looked at Huaixiu with a softer look in his eyes, "Today, I will accompany you to find Xu Hanshan."

Huaixiu almost choked on her tea.

Song Yuan did not wear a fur coat or mink, only a blue-gray cotton robe. He was dressed as an ordinary man, but his noble temperament could not be concealed. From the first time he saw Song Yuan, he was tall and elegant.

The melancholy between his brows makes him seem unapproachable, but in fact, it is not the case. Huaixiu knows that he is a very gentle person. He is different from everyone she knows. She has liked to look at him secretly and observe him since she was a child. Although he is not enthusiastic,

But he was very polite. Dad said that he must be a disciple from a wealthy family. He had studied and had a scholarly spirit. Even if he became a Jianghu person, his innate temperament would be difficult to change.

"Dad, what is my temperament?"

"Greedy."

Huaixiu chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Song Yuan saw her in a daze.

Huaixiu came back to his senses, "No, it's nothing. Brother Song is also looking for Xu Hanshan?"

"Don't worry, he doesn't know me."

The carriage stopped in front of Xu's house. Huaixiu and Song Yuan got out of the carriage. Chang'an said with a smile, "I won't go."

Huaixiu thought she was smiling strangely.

The two walked to Xu's house. Xu Hanshan happened to be there. Xu Qing led them into the house. Xu Qing had never seen Song Yuan before, "This is..."

Huaixiu thought to himself and forgot to discuss with Brother Song how he should explain.

"My surname is Song, an agent from Liumen."

"Captain Song, Miss Li, my father is in the study."

Xu Hanshan was reading a book. When he saw the two of them, he immediately stood up to greet them. He did not doubt Song Yuan's appearance.

Huaixiu got straight to the point, "We have found out that the bones are that of He Fan."

Xu Hanshan said anxiously, "I already know. I'm waiting for Agent Li. Next, are you going to Yongchang to catch the murderer?"

Huaixiu said: "Although the identity of Bai Gu has been confirmed, it cannot be said that it is related to Yongchang. I looked at the gambling house's account books and found no relevant doubts. The casino owner Feng Erniang said that he does not remember He Yun, let alone He Fan."

Xu Hanshan said excitedly, "She lied. She was with Yongchang. She was covering up for Yongchang. When she and her boss were dying, they told me personally that they were the ones who kidnapped and killed the young master. In order to protect the eldest son, he had to sell him."

Chang He left the capital."

"Since I told the boss personally, he must have evidence in his hand." Song Yuandao, Huaixiu nodded and looked at Xu Hanshan.

Xu Hanshan was startled, looked at the two of them, and suddenly his eyes darkened, "If I had evidence, I wouldn't force Agent Li, right? Or maybe Agent Li is just like the people in Dali Temple, colluding with officials and businessmen,

Disregarding human life?"

Huaixiu frowned and said, "If I were like this, I wouldn't come looking for you. What you and Han Biao did is enough to convict you."

Song Yuandao, "Actually, Boss Xu has evidence in his hands."

"How to say?"

Song Yuandao said, "Why didn't Boss Xu let He Yun show up? Boss Xu said that Yongchang colluded with the gambling house to lure He Yun into the game. Isn't He Yun the best evidence?"

Huaixiu was stunned after hearing this. How could she forget this person? "Yes, where is He Yun?"

Xu Hanshan was shocked when he heard this and couldn't answer the question for a moment.

Huaixiu and Song Yuan looked at each other. Huaixiu asked again, and Xu Hanshan said, "I won't hand him over to you. I know that as long as the young master's affairs are made public, the people in Yongchang will not let the eldest son go. Maybe

They are also looking for the eldest son. The eldest son cannot show up, otherwise he will be in danger."

"There are six doors guaranteed."

"no."

"If that's the case, how can we investigate the case?"

"That's your business. Don't you want to save money and win? As long as Yongchang is investigated, Han Biao and I will go to Dali Temple and surrender."

"You..." Huai said very delicately, "Master Xu must also know that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice."

Xu Hanshan said, "The Six Doors investigated many major and strange cases back then. Agent Li is a member of the Six Doors, so he must have learned a lot of skills."

"I..." Is this a compliment to her? Huaixiu jumped in anger.

Xu Hanshan said again, "Last time your people came, I already told you that I don't have any evidence for you, you need to investigate it yourself."

"Our people?"

"A female detective named Hu said you asked her to come."

Huaixiu was surprised.

"Why, isn't she?"

"No, she is."

After coming out of Xu's house, Huaixiu was in a low mood. Song Yuan comforted him and said, "Don't be anxious."

"Are you not in a hurry? Qian Desheng and Xiaoren are still in prison, and Dali Temple doesn't allow me to visit them. I don't know how they are doing. I heard that Dali Temple has closed the case and handed the file to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for review.

If you pass, it will be even more difficult to overturn the verdict."

Song Yuandao said, "The imperial ceremony is coming soon, and we are all busy with this matter now. There are many cases in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and we still have time."

Huaixiu shook his head, "This case is different. It involves a warship. The emperor has already asked about it. People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely handle it first."

Song Yuandao said, "We can ask Zhuge Ming to deal with it, maybe we can buy time."

Yes, Huaixiu nodded.

"Huai Xiu."

Huaixiu met Jiang Ze.

It turns out that Jiang Ze has been around Xu's house.

When Jiang Ze saw Song Yuan, he didn't say hello, "Come here, I have something to say."

Huaixiu looked at Song Yuan and said, "Wait for me for a moment." Then he walked towards Jiang Ze.

The two stood on the roadside, and Jiang Ze pulled Huaixiu to the entrance of the alley. Song Yuan took a cold look and stood there waiting like a gentleman.

"Did you find anything?" Huaixiu asked anxiously.

Jiang Zedao said, "Xu Hanshan has not gone anywhere except to the workshop these two days."

Not good news.

"But Hu Yuzhu has been here."

Huai Xiu said, "Xu Hanshan told me. Hu Yuzhu probably misled Xu Hanshan, and Xu Hanshan thought she was with us."
