Yan Funing was surprised: "In the capital?"
Long Chi'an nodded gently: "Well, the details are still under investigation. I will inform you when there is news."
The capital city is so big that it won’t be found in a short time.
But compared to searching like looking for a needle in a haystack across the country, the current situation is already good.
Besides, she and Fu Ciyi have already divorced, so the current clues can be said to have come at a very timely moment.
"Thank you!" Yan Funing thanked her.
In fact, what does it matter if she finds out her background? They don’t want her. What can she do even if she finds them?
Of course, if she knew where this body came from, it would also be an explanation for her occupation of Yan Funing's body.
Long Chi'an smiled warmly: "Why are you being so polite to me? If you can open a restaurant in the capital, I will be able to eat the medicinal food you cook often in the future."
Yan Funing laughed along: "That's true."
In the hall, Fu Ciyi, who was standing with his hands behind his back, saw them talking and laughing, and his already cold and handsome face became even more gloomy.
Just as he was about to step forward, someone hurried over and shouted, "Please ask Master Fu and Master Lu to return to the Hanlin Academy!"
Lu Wenfeng was stuffing some snacks into his mouth when he heard this and asked incoherently, "We have a day off today. Why are we going to the Hanlin Academy?"
The visitor bowed and said, "Your Excellencies, a murder has occurred in the Hanlin Academy. The Emperor has ordered all Hanlin scholars to proceed to the Hanlin Academy immediately."
As soon as these words were spoken, the restaurant suddenly became quiet.
Long Chi'an and Yan Funing hurried out of the private room.
Pang Gaozhuo asked the visitor, "Since this is a murder case, you're here to look for Master Fu and Master Lu. Does that mean they are suspects?"
The visitor simply said, "All the Hanlin scholars are suspects."
Yan Funing glanced at Fu Ciyi and quickly looked away.
The so-called Hanlin is a general term for officials under the Hanlin Academy.
In that case, he is also a suspect.
Long Chi'an also spoke: "Is it the murder that happened today?"
The man replied, "Prince Chi, this is not what happened today. The coroner's examination shows that the crime occurred during the daytime on the seventh day."
Lu Wenfeng thought for a moment and said, "Master Fu asked for leave on the seventh day of the lunar month. It was me who asked for leave on his behalf. This way, he can be cleared of suspicion, right?"
Fu Ning's restaurant opened today. As a good friend of Ci Yi and Fu Ning, he would do his best to bring them together no matter what.
At least create opportunities for them to be together.
Ci Yi is a dull, cold and quiet guy. If he doesn't give him a chance, this couple will really become strangers.
The visitor shook his head: "No."
He looked at Fu Ciyi with an inquiring look.
Yan Funing noticed his eyes, as if he was asking for leave on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Since there was a murder case on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, under such a coincidence, he was the most suspicious.
My heart couldn't help but pause. Is this something someone can do?
What grudge does he have that he wants to take action against?
If he really wanted to take action, he would target her and the people from the Yan family and the second branch of the Fu family.
"Today is the tenth day of the lunar month, why didn't you discover it earlier?" Fu Ciyi was very calm.
The visitor withdrew his inquiring gaze and said, "The body was hidden in a secluded place. A eunuch who was cleaning the house smelled a strange odor and discovered it today. I can't say anything more. Please forgive me!"
Hearing this, Fu Ciyi had a rough guess.
The most secluded place in the Hanlin Academy is where the emperor stores secret edicts.
No one usually goes to that place.
The murder occurred on the seventh day of the first lunar month. On the eighth and ninth days, the officials on duty at the Hanlin Academy did not smell any strange odor because the address was indeed hidden.
But now the weather is getting hotter day by day. After two or three days of changes, the odor of the corpse can be smelled.
So it was discovered today.
As for the visitors, most of them were from Jingzhao Prefecture or the Ministry of Justice.
It seems he has to go to the palace.
"My lords, please come in!"
The visitor raised his hand towards Fu Ciyi and Lu Wenfeng.
Fu Ciyi turned his head to glance at Yan Funing, and seeing that she didn't look back at him, he walked away.
Lu Wenfeng walked up to Yan Funing and wanted to say something, but the words that came out of his mouth turned out to be: "Funing, you see, now that I know what's going on, I can't have lunch. Can I have dinner?"
At that time, he will bring Ci Yi here.
Yan Funing nodded: "Okay, I must come safely."
While speaking, steal a glance at someone's arrogant back.
Lu Wenfeng nodded and followed Fu Ciyi.
Long Chi'an saw Yan Funing's eyes and turned his head to signal Shi Yangyang.
Shi Yangyang understood and stepped forward: "Funing, what dishes do you have in your restaurant?"
"We have all the signature dishes of Liuji Restaurant in Qingshan Town. Your brother has eaten them, so you can try them today." Yan Funing pointed to the dish name signs hanging on the wall and introduced them.
Pang Anmeng pulled his brother forward and said, "It's great to have a friend who owns a restaurant. My brother and I are good at drinking, so we'll definitely be patronizing this place often. Fu Ning, what do you think of my brother?"
She pushed Pang Gaozhuo.
Pang Gaozhuo was pushed by her and staggered, but fortunately he stood firm in time and did not knock Yan Funing down.
"I'm sorry, my sister is so rude."
Yan Funing calmly took two steps back, keeping a distance from the other person, and said with a smile: "An Meng is very skilled and strong, so it won't be a problem."
Shi Yangyang didn't expect Pang Anmeng to be so shameless. The topic was clearly about drinking, but he suddenly turned to introducing his brother.
Not to be outdone, she walked to the other side of Yan Fu Ning and said, "Fu Ning is so delicate, she's a good match for my brother. My brother is a very gentle person."
Pang Anmeng laughed: "To be disrespectful, everyone knows that Prince Chi is in poor health. How can he take care of his delicate wife when he is not in good health? Right, Prince Chi?"
Long Chi'an didn't know how to respond.
Pang Anmeng patted his brother's chest vigorously and said proudly, "My brother is invincible on the battlefield and has a very good body."
