Chapter 9 What are you laughing at?

"Reply to the Regent." Su Xing had an expression that he had expected, and smiled confidently: "Of course there is no problem using these two things at the same time."

What the hell?

Everyone whose IQ was already low was confused again. Liu Yan even felt a headache. What was going on?

Why is it that sometimes there is a problem and sometimes there is no problem?

Su Xing knew this was strange, so he didn't keep the question secret and continued to explain: "It's just that licorice and dahlia were added to the incense burners and snuff bottles of the two deceased respectively. These two substances counteract each other. It's okay in a short time, but it will kill people if it's left for a long time."

In his previous world, Su Xing had a college roommate who came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. He would follow him and learn from him whenever he had time.

After a long time, although I couldn't become a master, I did have a general understanding of the medicinal herbs and their properties.

"And I've learned that half a year ago, someone gave incense sticks to the Minister of War as a birthday gift, and around the same time, someone also gave this snuff bottle to the Minister of Rites." Su Xing's eyes were particularly bright when he spoke, as if there were stars hidden in them, twinkling, making him feel like he was glowing: "And the time it takes for these two things to counteract each other and lead to death is exactly half a year, so..."

He stopped talking at the right time, and stared at Ye Linghan with his bright eyes, as if waiting for Ye Linghan to continue.

But Ye Linghan didn't respond for a long time. He just stared at Su Xing quietly. After a long time, he said, "How did you know about the gift?"

Apart from Tianyi, even Ye Linghan himself did not notice that the tone of his voice had changed. Although he was still cold and ruthless, there was an indescribable emotion in his voice.

Su Xing knew that Ye Linghan would have such a question, and quickly answered: "When I left the crime scene, I chatted with two servants from the Shangshu Mansion for a while."

Ye Linghan lowered his eyes when he heard that, then turned to look at Liu Yan, his eyes even colder than usual.

Liu Yan was trying to recall when Su Xing chatted with the servants, when he suddenly felt a flash of cold light. He shuddered and looked up to see the Regent...

Ye Linghan narrowed his eyes, retracted his gaze, and continued to ask Su Xing: "How do you know there is something wrong with these two things?"

It's just an ordinary daily necessity, and generally no one will notice it.

This question is a little difficult to answer, because Su Xing relies entirely on his feelings, but he is not just imagining things, after all, he is born with a strong intuition.

But he couldn't say that, so he frowned and thought for a while before replying, "I'm using the process of elimination. The two dead didn't have any wounds or diseases on their bodies. The only possibility is poisoning, but the autopsy couldn't find any evidence, so it's most likely a very slow-acting poison."

In fact, this situation could be checked in his previous world, but the technology was not available here.

"Since the deceased had no problem eating and drinking, the only possible source of the substance is these kinds of daily necessities."

While Ye Linghan listened carefully, he glanced at Liu Yan coldly. The coldness in his eyes almost froze Liu Yan to death.

Liu Yan couldn't help but cry out in injustice in his heart. It wasn't his fault that he didn't notice this situation. Who could have thought it would be like this?

Besides, he doesn't know anything about autopsies, so he wouldn't make such an association...

But how could he dare say these words to the Regent?

Isn't that seeking death?

But being punished is inevitable, I just don’t know how to punish...

Liu Yan was looking worried when Ye Linghan's cold command came over: "Go find Doctor Feng and ask him to check again to see if there are any of those things in these two objects!"

Ye Linghan's tone was filled with obvious anger, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Doctor Feng is definitely going to be in trouble...

After Liu Yan took his men away, the autopsy room suddenly became quiet.

Su Xing changed his talkative appearance and suddenly became like a frost-bitten eggplant, lowering his head, clutching the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, rubbing them nervously.

He knew that next, he would talk about his sexual fantasies about Ye Linghan...

Can Ye Linghan forgive him?

But Ye Linghan didn't say anything, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, which made Su Xing even more nervous.

Could it be that Ye Linghan still refused to forgive him?

In fact, he also understood that he had only found the cause of death, not caught the murderer.

Compared to him fantasizing about Ye Linghan in public, it really was nothing...

But if you can't get away with it, at least spare his life, right?

He can accept being beaten, but not too hard, because he is afraid of pain...

Just as Su Xing lowered his head and frowned, thinking about all sorts of things, Ye Linghan finally spoke: "Are you going to stay here forever?"

Su Xing was stunned, then looked up, only to see that Ye Linghan had turned and left.

What's going on?

Su Xing was stunned and blinked his confused eyes. Was this to forgive him? Still didn't forgive him?

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask but not daring to. What if the other person had never thought of this at all?

By saying this, isn't he digging a hole for himself?

His mind raced, and he decided not to say anything and just follow.

Ye Linghan left the Ministry of Justice directly and walked towards the carriage at the door.

Su Xing was stunned again. Where were they going?

Seeing that Ye Linghan had already stepped onto the carriage and no orders came, he couldn't help but get anxious. What should he do?

Do you want to follow me up?

At this moment, an impatient gaze swept over: "What are you doing?"

Su Xing's heart trembled, and he didn't bother to ask. He trotted to the carriage like a rabbit, and then climbed up using his hands and feet.

Ye Linghan then withdrew his gaze, bent down and got into the car.

Su Xing felt relieved when he saw that Ye Linghan didn't say anything, but he didn't know why Ye Linghan asked him to get in the car as well?

Where are they going?

He stopped at the car door for a moment, took a few deep breaths, then lowered his head and bent over, and entered the car like a thief.

Ye Linghan had already sat down in the main seat. He sat casually, unlike the soldiers who had been fighting for years and always stood upright.

This made Su Xing curious. Is Ye Linghan also so casual on the battlefield?

When he thought of that scene, he couldn't help but laugh. Isn't it too abrupt?

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Linghan looked at Su Xing's slightly raised mouth dimly. It was unknown what terrible things were hidden in those bottomless eyes.

Su Xing's smile, which hadn't had time to bloom, suddenly froze on his face. He quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and then shook his head: "No, nothing..."

He was so careless. He was so careless in front of Ye Linghan.

This is the regent, no different from the ruler of a country. How could he be in front of such a person...

Let me ask you, do you dare to be so frivolous in front of the boss of your country?

"explain."

It was just a light word, but it exploded in Su Xing's ears like thunder.

He trembled all over and thought to himself: It's over!

What is he going to say?

Tell the truth or lie?

Before he made a decision, he heard: "You know what the consequences will be if you dare to tell a lie..."

Su Xing: ···
