Chapter 13 Sorry?
"I hate being interrupted when I'm talking." Ye Linghan's voice was deeper than before, and it was full of dissatisfaction: "You'd better have a reasonable explanation."
Su Xing's heart trembled, and his brain worked as fast as it could. He finally thought of a response: "Villain, I want to ask why the Regent came here. Yes, what's the matter?"
With Ye Linghan's status, it is impossible for him to condescend to come to him. There must be something going on.
Was there something wrong with his investigation yesterday?
Although I was confident in my investigation, my heart was still beating uncontrollably.
Ye Ling stared at Su Xing coldly for a while, then suddenly threw the book back on the table and said in a deep voice: "What you said yesterday has been confirmed."
Su Xing was stunned at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was no problem: "That's good, thank you Regent for telling me."
But Ye Linghan couldn't have come here just to tell him this. He wanted to ask but didn't dare, so he had to wait obediently.
Ye Linghan didn't expect Su Xing's reaction to be so indifferent. A hint of dissatisfaction suddenly flashed in his eyes. He was so enthusiastic about investigating the case the day before yesterday, why is he so unresponsive now?
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly changed the subject: "I only temporarily spared you yesterday..."
Su Xing was suddenly startled. Was Ye Linghan here to settle accounts with him?
Then why did you talk about the case at the beginning?
Su Xing was a little confused and couldn't help but look up at Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan still looked superior, cold and domineering, but he didn't look like he was looking for a score to settle with him, because there was no sign of anger on his face.
What is going on?
Su Xing carefully went over Ye Linghan's words in his mind again, and suddenly had a guess...
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Regent. I have been thinking about how to repay you." Su Xing bowed deeply and said sincerely, "I dare to ask the Lord Regent to allow me to continue investigating the case. I will do my best to help the Lord Regent find the real culprit!"
After saying that, Su Xing lowered his head and waited nervously, fearing that he had guessed wrong.
The dissatisfaction in Ye Linghan's eyes gradually dissipated, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. This guy is not stupid.
Su Xing waited and waited, and just when he was about to give up, Ye Linghan's voice finally came from above his head: "Since you have this intention, I will grant your wish."
Su Xing was delighted. As expected, he guessed right. Ye Linghan wanted to ask him for help... Then why didn't he just say it directly?
Excuse me?
Su Xing couldn't help but glance at Ye Linghan again, but was caught by Ye Linghan who had been staring at him.
Ye Linghan had seen countless people and immediately saw the inquiry in Su Xing's eyes. His face darkened again.
Su Xing was frightened to death, and quickly retracted his gaze, bowed respectfully and said: "Thank you for your help, Regent. I will do my best."
This man is so scary, he'd better not make any random guesses.
He had to solve the case as quickly as possible and never have anything to do with Ye Linghan again.
Thinking of this, he spoke again: "Then I will go to the Ministry of Justice to find Lord Liu."
Since he wants to investigate the case, he needs to understand all the circumstances related to the case. Currently, he only knows the cause of death, and knows nothing about the deceased's life, such as whether he has enemies, and who gave gifts to the two deceased half a year ago, etc.
Ye Linghan must know all of this, but how could he dare to cause trouble?
Unexpectedly, Ye Linghan took the initiative to inform him: "They are all old officials of the court, well versed in the ways of the officialdom, and have good relationships with people. They have no enemies. The person who sent the gift half a year ago did not leave his name, and there is no record in the gift book."
Su Xing was very surprised at first, but as he listened to the rest of the story, he became immersed in the case.
After listening carefully, he fell into thought.
Ye Linghan did not interrupt, but just looked at Su Xing leisurely. At first, he was just wondering if Su Xing's image of a fool was deliberately pretended?
If so, why do it?
What puzzled him most was how Su Xing learned autopsy?
But later, he actually observed Su Xing's appearance. Although he was a man, he had red lips and white teeth.
Especially the delicate skin, white and smooth, without any flaws from the face to the neck. Ye Linghan couldn't help but look down...
"Regent." Su Xing's mind was full of the case, and he didn't notice Ye Linghan's gaze at all: "Excuse me, do these two adults have any intersection? For example, do they have any common experiences?"
The moment Su Xing opened his mouth, Ye Linghan suddenly withdrew his gaze, and his face looked very bad, as if he was angry.
After a while, he spoke coldly: "Except for serving as an official in the court, we have no other intersections, and we have no private contact."
This is also why this case is difficult to investigate. Apart from the cause of death, there are no clues in other aspects.
Although we now know the cause of death, the clues of the gift given half a year ago are almost useless.
That's why he thought of looking for Su Xing, because Su Xing's perspective on the problem is different from others and may be helpful to the case.
Su Xing couldn't help but frown. This common point was equivalent to nothing. After all, there were so many officials.
Why did the murderer choose them? Is it because they have high positions?
Something suddenly flashed through Su Xing’s mind: A high-ranking official?
"Excuse me, Lord Regent, what are the official positions of the two adults in the court?" Su Xing asked in confusion.
"Official position?" Ye Linghan glanced at Su Xing, his eyes showing a hint of confusion, but he still answered: "The position of Shangshu is second only to that of a prince, and he is the head of each department and holds real power."
The implication is that if something happens to the pillars of the court, the corresponding departments will be leaderless.
Su Xing's heart sank slightly. If this was the case, then the murderer's purpose was most likely...
Ye Linghan noticed that Su Xing's expression changed from serious to solemn, and his heart tightened as well.
"What have you thought of?" Ye Linghan's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Su Xing shuddered suddenly. Why did Ye Linghan react like this?
Does he think so too?
Because of his excitement, Su Xing couldn't wait to express his guess: "Perhaps, the murderer's target is not the two ministers, but the entire court..." Or it could be Ye Linghan!
Su Xing thought that what was waiting for him would be Ye Linghan's agreement, but what he felt was actually an even stronger feeling of suffocation than last time.
"Photo..." Su Xing looked at the hand that was pinching his neck in disbelief, and his consciousness was once again overwhelmed by fear.
"Tell me! Who are you?" Ye Linghan's gaze was horribly dark, pointing at Su Xing like a knife: "Tell me everything, and I can spare your life!"
Su Xing knew that Ye Linghan had misunderstood him again. He was extremely angry but had no way to vent it. After all, staying alive was more important.
"I... am not... not..." Su Xing tried his best to pry Ye Linghan's wrist, while explaining with great effort: "Really... believe me..."
Ye Linghan looked at Su Xing's face which was turning purple red. He, who never hesitated, actually hesitated.
He was the type of person who would rather kill someone by mistake than miss the opportunity to kill someone, but when facing Su Xing, he actually hesitated.
