Chu Youyang fainted, she just happened to steal his badge.
Xue Jinrong was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.
After all, they were husband and wife, and she couldn't just watch him die, so she squatted down and felt his pulse before she left with peace of mind.
With the emperor's badge, he could enter and exit freely, and Xue Jinrong left the palace smoothly.
She was dressed in men's clothes and no one recognized her, so when she came out, she thought about walking around.
Eat something delicious, buy a few hairpins, and give a few coins to the beggars on the street.
So uncomfortable!
But just as she was feeling proud, she heard the sound of horse hooves.
The person coming towards him was none other than Chu Younan who was riding a horse.
Xue Jinrong got nervous and hid quickly. There happened to be a sedan chair parked on the side of the road, and the owner was not there, so she suddenly jumped in.
Chu Younan heard that there was a murder case, so he rushed there specially.
The man who was killed was the son of a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, and he was said to have died in a very tragic way. Originally, he didn't need to personally take action, but the killing in the street in broad daylight was a terrible situation, so he had to go and see it.
When he arrived, there was a crowd of people on the street and people from the Dali Temple were investigating the scene.
"Your Highness, according to the people who were present at the time, the deceased had an argument with someone and the two of them started fighting. The deceased was stabbed several times and died on the spot. The suspect has already fled."
"Clean up this place quickly and catch the suspect." Chu Younan said in a deep voice.
The crowd gradually dispersed and the road became clear.
A sedan chair came over and stopped not far from Chu Younan.
The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and Duan Zhanfang showed his face. He said to Fang Tongpu, who was still in shock on the street, "Uncle, why are you here?"
Fang Tongpu paused for a while before saying, "Your aunt and I were planning to go with you to see the bride, and we happened to pass by here and a murder happened..."
Today is the day Duan Zhanfang had an appointment to go see the man. This time she came with her uncle to see the man.
"The road is open, let's go quickly." Duan Zhanfang seemed a little nervous, perhaps a little scared of seeing this situation.
Fang Tongpu shook his head, "No, no need to go..."
"Ah? Cancelled? Then I... go back first?" Duan Zhanfang did not get out of the car.
"It's not cancelled. The one who was hacked to death is the one you are going to see today." Fang Tongpu glanced at the place where the body was placed just now.
It was really thrilling.
The man Fang Tongpu was talking to Yu Zihe about was the son of his colleague. The two of them happened to pass by this street and saw the man across the street. They were thinking of going to a teahouse together, but before they could say hello, they saw a fight breaking out on the opposite side.
The two men picked up the knives of a roadside butcher and started hacking at each other, scaring people so much that they fled in all directions.
Fang Tongpu wanted to persuade them, but the two were fighting so fiercely that not only did they not notice him, they almost got hurt.
Fortunately, he was fine, but one of the poles of the sedan chair was cut off and it could not be lifted.
Duan Zhanfang was shocked. Although she didn't really want to come to see him, and she also said on the way that she hoped that something small happened to him today and he was temporarily unavailable, she didn't expect that the blind date was hacked to death.
Is she unlucky or lucky?
"Why don't you go to your uncle's house for a meal before going back?" Fang Tongpu said, "Or just move in with your uncle."
Duan Zhanfang suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, no, I have something else to do, I'll go back first."
After that, she asked, "Isn't my uncle going back?"
Fang Tongpu glanced at the broken sedan chair and said, "You go back first. My sedan chair is broken. I'll have someone take it to be repaired later."
According to common sense, Duan Zhanfang should have gotten out of the sedan chair and let Fang Tongpu sit in it, but she didn't know whether she was still shocked or what, she didn't get out of the sedan chair or say anything, she just closed the curtain and left.
The moment the curtain of the sedan chair closed, Fang Tongpu felt as if he caught a glimpse of someone in the sedan chair, and what he seemed to see was a man's bun.
But he always felt that his niece was not so unrestrained, so he thought it was all just his eyes playing tricks on him.
He felt that he was dazzled, but Chu Younan was not. Chu Younan just happened to catch a glimpse of the situation here, and also caught a glimpse of the man's bun in the sedan.
He didn't need to guess, he could tell by just listening to Duan Zhanfang's thoughts. What Duan Zhanfang was thinking about at the moment was whether she had a tough life, which was why her blind date died on the street on the day of the blind date.
"Ling Xiao, follow Miss Duan." Chu Younan said in a deep voice.
Ling Xiao agreed, "Your Majesty, do you think Miss Duan is related to today's case?"
Based on his understanding of Duan Zhanfang, it should not be related. But if Duan Zhanfang really has a private affair with someone and does not want to see him, then he does have a motive.
Although it was a bit far-fetched, he couldn't miss any clues.
Chu Younan took a walk and when he was returning home, Ling Xiao came out and reported in a low voice, "Miss Duan went to the inn before returning home. I saw a man coming out of her sedan chair."
It seems to be confirmed!
Chu Younan narrowed his eyes, "Did you find someone to keep an eye on that man?"
"I've been keeping an eye on him. He has been staying in the inn and hasn't come out."
"Keep watching closely, watch it yourself!" Chu Younan's face was solemn.
There was no evidence in this matter, so he couldn't ask Duan Zhanfang directly and could only ask Su Bei for help.
"What did you say? Duan Zhanfang colluded with others to kill her blind date?" Su Bei's mouth was open so wide that an egg could be stuffed in.
Although it is said that one can never judge a person by his appearance, she absolutely did not believe that Duan Zhanfang could do such a thing.
Chu Younan hurriedly said, "I'm just suspicious. Find an excuse to call her over, and I'll hide behind the screen and eavesdrop on her thoughts."
"Impossible! I don't believe it!" Su Bei shook his head repeatedly. "It's just a date, not an engagement. If she doesn't want to, she can just refuse. How could she do something like hiring someone to kill someone? She's not that stupid!"
Indeed, as long as there is nothing wrong with your brain, you should not do such a thing.
What's more, Su Bei felt that Duan Zhanfang and Su Xiujie had a good chat, and maybe there was a chance between them.
"I don't quite believe it, but Ling Xiao did see a man getting off her sedan chair. Now the man is still in the inn, and Ling Xiao is guarding him personally!" Chu Younan said.
"Well... okay..." Su Bei said angrily.
Duan Zhanfang lived in the Regent's Palace, so it was not difficult to get her to come. She came within an incense stick of time.
"Are you feeling better today, Princess?" Duan Zhanfang looked normal.
"I still can't get out of bed. I feel so bored. I want to talk to you for a while. I heard that you went to see the date today. How was it?" Su Bei said calmly.
"Don't mention it!" Duan Zhanfang sighed heavily, "Do you think I have a tough life? Yue Hongcai died, and the person I was going to see this time also died!"
"Ah? Dead?!" Su Bei pretended to be surprised. In fact, she had heard Chu Younan say that just now, but her acting skills were always good and she didn't reveal any flaws.
"He was hacked to death in the street. How bizarre! He didn't die earlier or later, but died on the way to see the bride..."
Duan Zhanfang's tone was somewhat regretful, but Chu Younan heard some flaws in it.
