Su Lijin did not miss the sudden lighting up of Jiang Su's eyes when Shiqi was mentioned.
She was delighted and smiled as she nodded and replied, "Yes, I am Jiang Bin, a subordinate of Shiqi."
Hearing this, Jiang Bin's smile deepened. He looked behind her and asked, "Where's Shiqi? Why isn't he here?"
Su Lijin thought to herself, this guy must have forgotten that this is the Dali Temple. Even if she was really Shiqi, how could she easily come in here in front of people?
Waving it in front of his eyes with a bit of amusement, Su Lijin said seriously, "He didn't come. This time, I came here to assist with the case."
Hearing that Shiqi didn't come, Jiang Su looked behind him and saw that there was indeed no sign of Shiqi, feeling a little disappointed.
However, he also heard what Su Lijin said about the case, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you here to assist Miss Ye with that case?"
Su Lijin nodded: "Yes, that case seems a bit strange. I took the Queen's documents and came here to assist in the investigation."
"Empress? Have you seen the Empress?" Jiang Su was a little surprised. He obviously felt that it was unexpected that Jiang Bin could be related to the Empress.
Taking in his expression, Su Lijin pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Jiang, you may not know that Shiqi was instructed by the Queen to help you, right?"
"What?" Jiang Su widened his eyes and couldn't recover for a long time.
He looked across at the other side seriously and asked, "Are you saying that Shiqi is helping me because of the Queen's will?"
Su Lijin smiled and nodded: "It is because the Queen values talent that she asked Shiqi to make sure you can give full play to your strengths and not be buried."
Jiang Su looked at her blankly, his eyes full of surprise and memories.
He couldn't help but think of how Shiqi angrily confronted the prime minister to save himself.
Finally, Shiqi indirectly recommended himself to participate in the emperor's personal examination, and finally became the top scholar.
He always thought that Shiqi was righteous and enthusiastically helped him when he met him by chance.
However, he never thought that Shiqi was actually instructed by the Queen Mother to give him advice and help.
Suddenly, Jiang Su felt a warm feeling in his chest. The Queen Mother helped him so much, but never revealed a word. She was truly righteous and kind!
"Jiang Bin, you must thank the Queen for me."
Jiang Su's eyes were slightly red: "If I can meet the queen one day, I will definitely thank you in person for your kindness."
Su Lijin looked at the grateful man and felt relieved. She patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Jiang, the Queen knows your sincerity. You can repay the Queen by serving the people well in your position."
"Yeah." Jiang Su was moved again.
"Who among you wants to take Jiang Bin with you?" On the other side, several detectives from the Dali Temple looked at Jiang Bin and started yelling with disgust.
Jiang Bin came with documents. Originally, they didn't want to bother with this newcomer, but the clerk had authority, so they had to choose someone to take care of him.
"I won't take him. He's a newbie who knows nothing. Bringing him will only cause me trouble."
Some people turned their faces away in displeasure and spoke with disgust.
"That's right. Whoever brings him along would be a burden. Not to mention helping with the investigation, we're just worried he might destroy some evidence and leave everyone in the lurch."
The others also shook their heads, looking at Jiang Bin as if he were a plague god.
No one wanted to take him with them.
For a moment, no one paid attention to Jiang Bin. Everyone looked at him with contempt and ridicule, completely excluding him.
Su Lijin looked at these people with an unchanged expression on her face.
She was very open-minded. If these people were willing to take her, she would be willing to go with them.
If these people are unwilling, she can go and investigate alone with the help of the documents. After all, no one can stop her from going.
But she didn't respond, but Jiang Su beside her couldn't stand it anymore. He glared at the group of people with a slight anger on his face.
"Jiang Bin, just stay with me. I'll take care of him." Jiang Su's voice was sonorous and powerful, with anger in his eyes.
When the others heard this, they looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Su has always been very low-key in the Dali Temple. He rarely shows this kind of expression or announces anything so loudly.
After being surprised, they all started to sneer.
"Jiang Su, you yourself have only been in the Dali Temple for a short time, and now you are leading a newcomer. Are you sure you can lead well?"
"Exactly, these two young boys are going to make people laugh to death."
Everyone laughed.
Su Lijin shrugged. These people were really arrogant and speechless.
So what if they were newbies and youngsters? Could they really be worse than them?
However, she was a little daring to move. In this situation, Jiang Su actually wanted to take her with him.
Jiang Su rejected everyone's objections and said firmly, "It's decided. I'll take Jiang Bin with me. I'll take him to check it out right now."
Having said that, he pulled Su Lijin up and walked away with a determined look.
Su Lijin was taken to the place where the body was placed and examined carefully.
The body was burned black and almost unrecognizable. Looking at the body, Su Lijin sighed in her heart. This charred body turned out to be the beautiful Ye Shuyin.
Thinking of Ye Shuyin's usual appearance, Su Lijin sighed slightly.
She squatted down and looked carefully. After looking around, she turned her gaze and looked carefully at the corpse's hand.
There seemed to be a layer of dust on that hand.
"What is this ash?" She turned her head to look at Jiang Su with a puzzled look on her face.
Jiang Su hadn't expected that he would show no fear of the corpse upon his arrival. He even examined it very carefully, admiring him. Upon hearing this, he said, "Those are the ashes left over from the burnt marriage certificate."
"The ashes left from the burnt marriage certificate?" Su Lijin frowned. There was something wrong with the ashes.
It seems that it is different from the ashes of ordinary burnt books.
"Please bring Miss Ye's maid."
Soon, Jiang Su brought the person over.
Looking at Ye Shuyin's maid, Su Lijin said with a serious expression, "Tell me in detail what happened on that day when the fire broke out."
The maid glanced at her nervously, her expression showing fear, obviously still shaken by the thought of the fire.
"When I discovered the fire that day, the young lady had already been engulfed in flames, her body covered in flames..."
She confessed everything truthfully.
Su Lijin fell into deep thought, going over all the details in her mind.
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came from the side.
"It doesn't matter how many times you ask, it's the same. I think you should not waste your time."
"Liu San, why do you say that?" Jiang Su said dissatisfiedly.
The constable named Liu San snorted lightly, with disdain in his eyes.
Without even looking at him, Su Lijin ignored him.
After closing her eyes and thinking for a while, Su Lijin suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "What was Miss Ye's expression at that time?"
The maid thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Yes...I enjoy it."
Su Lijin felt strange.
Liu San sneered: "Get out of the way, I'll ask!"
He pushed Su Lijin away in a very domineering manner and asked the maid himself.
Seeing that Liu San was asking useless questions, Su Lijin's mind had already drifted to other places.
