Chapter 85 A Wish

On the way back, the car was very quiet.

Ye Linghan was thinking with his eyes closed again, and his brows were furrowed deeper than ever.

Su Xing could understand that although there had been great gains in the investigation of the case so far, it was still very different from what they had initially speculated.

For some reason, even if it was proven that Xia Yunxi and her son were innocent, Su Xing's impression of Xia Yunxi could not return to the same as when they first met.

In particular, who was responsible for his kidnapping?

He always felt that it was neither Xia Chengxun nor Wuxin.

Su Xing really wanted to discuss this issue with Ye Linghan, but he was afraid that Ye Linghan would think that he did this all for himself. In addition, given Ye Linghan's current state, he had no choice but to give up.

Arriving at the Regent's Palace, Ye Linghan did not go in immediately after getting off the car. Instead, he watched Wuxin being escorted towards the prison cell.

After Wuxin's figure disappeared, Ye Linghan walked towards the study.

Su Xing didn't bother to think about anything else and followed immediately.

Tianyi had not returned since he went to escort Wuxin, and there were only Ye Linghan and Su Xing in the study room.

Ye Linghan didn't say anything, and Su Xing didn't dare to say a word either.

After a long while, Ye Linghan finally looked at Su Xing and asked coldly, "Do you think Wuxin is the real mastermind behind this?"

Su Xing raised his head upon hearing this, and looked at Ye Linghan for a moment, then lowered his eyes and frowned.

After a while, he said, "I always feel something is wrong..."

"Where?" Ye Linghan's tone was calm, as if he had no surprise or expectation about Su Xing's words.

Su Xing wanted to talk about the kidnapping, but was afraid of being scolded, so he had to change his words: "I didn't mean to say that... He promised Marquis Mu Yuan that he could grant him a fiefdom and make him a vassal king after the success... But how could he guarantee that... Marquis Mu Yuan would not..."

He didn't dare to say the following words because he was afraid that Ye Linghan would get angry.

Unexpectedly, Ye Linghan said directly: "You won't become the next king?"

As he spoke, a cold light flashed across Ye Linghan's handsome face.

Su Xing's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt on his knees: "I deserve to die!"

Ye Ling stared at Su Xing's head coldly for a while before snorting, "Su Xing, you really don't know how to repent!"

You just escaped death a few days ago, and now you have forgotten it?

"Regent, calm down!" Su Xing was frightened and explained hastily, "I just want to discuss the case. Otherwise, I would not dare to say anything even if you kill me."

Ye Linghan didn't expect Su Xing to be so good at admitting his mistakes. He was like a completely different person compared to last time.

But for some reason, the lawless Su Xing last time made him want to kill him, and this time the cowardly Su Xing made him very disgusted.

So he glanced at Su Xing with great displeasure, and then shouted impatiently: "Get up!"

Su Xing was like a frightened bird. He quickly got up after hearing the order, fearing that he would be in trouble again if he was slow.

The study was quiet for a moment before Ye Linghan spoke again: "Do you think Wuxin is lying?"

Su Xing's heart trembled suddenly. Although he was afraid, he replied honestly: "I can't judge this. I just think it's unreasonable."

He really couldn't tell whether Wuxin was lying or not, because Wuxin's emotions were so stable when he spoke, and they didn't change from beginning to end.

This made what he learned in psychology class completely useless.

If Wu Xin was in his previous world, even a lie detector wouldn’t be of any use.

"May I ask what the Regent thinks?" Su Xing suddenly wanted to know Ye Linghan's opinion. It had always been Ye Linghan who asked him but never said what he thought.

Ye Linghan seemed very surprised that Su Xing would ask him. He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and stared at Su Xing, as if to say, who gave you the courage?

Su Xing instantly understood Ye Linghan's eyes. He shrank his neck cowardly, lowered his head and dared not say another word.

But he was indignant in his heart. Since they were discussing the case, they should express their thoughts.

Why should he be the only one to speak? Why didn’t Ye Linghan say anything!

Just then, Tianyi came back and felt the atmosphere was a bit weird as soon as he entered the door.

His expression froze, and he bowed and said, "Your Highness, Wuxin has fainted again. Do you want to ask the imperial physician to come and see him?"

Ye Linghan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while he ordered: "You go and arrange it."

"yes!"

As soon as Tianyi left, Tianer came again: "Prince Regent, Lord Liu asked me to come and ask for your instructions. Do you want to examine Xia Yunjie's body?"

Su Xing was immediately perked up when he heard about the autopsy, but as soon as he raised his head, he was frightened back by Ye Linghan's cold shout: "Isn't the cause of death obvious? What else do you need to do?"

Tian Er hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lord Liu said that the Queen Mother has ordered someone to take Xia Yunjie away. If they don't do an autopsy, he can't stop them. But according to the rules of the Ministry of Justice, the body cannot be returned to the family until the case is solved..."

Ye Linghan became even angrier when he heard this. It turned out that Liu Yan came to him because he was afraid of offending the Queen Mother, and he didn't tell the truth at first.

He actually played a trick on him. How audacious!

Su Xing felt that Ye Linghan's anger was rising. He sympathized with Liu Yan and was also itching to do something, so he bravely asked: "Regent, why don't you let me check it out? Maybe I can find some clues..."

He just took a quick look at the body at the time. Although it was most likely an unintentional murder, he could not completely rule out other possibilities.

Since we are investigating a case, it is better to be cautious.

Ye Linghan had no place to vent his anger, and when he saw Su Xing step forward, he suddenly had a direction.

He first stared at Su Xing with a gloomy look for a long while, then he slightly curled his lips and revealed a sinister sneer: "You like to be a good person..."

Su Xing felt a chill on his back and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Ye Linghan looked at Su Xing's increasingly pale face, and the smile on his lips became even stronger: "Then I will grant your wish... However, if you don't find out, you should know what the consequences will be!"

Su Xing felt like he had eaten something spoiled and wanted to vomit but couldn't, but also couldn't swallow it.

But he does not regret it, as it is his duty as an investigator.

He was just speechless towards Ye Linghan. After all, what did this case have to do with him?

He is actually helping Ye Linghan, okay?

Ye Linghan, on the other hand, not only did he not thank him, but he also made things difficult for him and tortured him everywhere!

Why!

He didn't dare say this, but he couldn't swallow it in his heart.

In a fit of excitement, he actually asked: "What if I find something? Will the Regent reward me?"

Ye Linghan was slightly stunned, then he looked at Su Xing leisurely as if he was looking at something weird.

After a while, he nodded: "Okay, what do you want?"

Su Xing's original intention was not to ask for a reward, he was just really angry.

He said angrily: "I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll decide after I find some clues."

Although he didn't know why, Ye Linghan felt much better at the moment.

After staring at Su Xing for a while, he said generously: "If you find a clue, I can fulfill one of your wishes."

Su Xing: ······
