Chapter 157: So scared that I don’t even dare to use my real name!

As some people had guessed, all the people who had just testified for Wang Qing used fake names.

Lu Xinran did not see anyone's booklet in the system.

She was even more confused. Was the murderer hiding among this group of people, or was there someone else behind them, and they were just trying to confuse the crowd?

She frowned in thought, while Lu Xinlan and Song Junyan were also speculating on various possibilities.

It's difficult to arrest someone without evidence, and Song Junyan also wanted to see if they would contact anyone.

He did not have Wang Qing arrested, but only asked him some more details, and then they drove away.

It was easy to go back to Shuntianfu to check the transaction records, but it would take a lot of time to go to the brokerage offices and nearby alleys to inquire about the news.

No transaction records were found in the government office, which meant that this was either the murderer's own compound, or he had hired someone to mediate.

But given the murderer's behavior, even Lu Xinran was not optimistic about it.

Even if you go to the dental clinic to ask, you probably won't get any information.

After leaving the alley, the two sisters returned to Lu's mansion under the escort of Song Junyan.

She stood behind the side door, watching the figure riding away, her heart full of suspicion.

"Do you feel something is wrong?"

She asked abruptly, and Lu Xinlan followed her line of sight and looked at the receding figure, "What's wrong?"

"He sent us home yesterday and sent us back today. Why is he suddenly so kind?"

Even if he asked them for help, given that man's arrogance and status, he shouldn't have to personally send them back home again and again, right?

No... the plot still can't be circumvented, right?

This voice in Lu Xinlan's heart jumped into her ears, and she didn't know where to start with the words that were about to come out of her lips.

"The capital has been unstable these days. He asked us to help and protect us. Just think of it as... this is what he should do."

"But……"

Lu Xinran was about to try to figure it out, but the system in his head suddenly jumped out and screamed.

"Host! Forget about Song Jun Hyuk's melon knot!"

The system was too active, and the sound was so loud that Lu Xinran had the illusion of tinnitus for a moment.

She paused for a while, then asked politely, "How many lives were calculated?"

"One year! A whole year. Our lifespan is now almost three years!"

Grandma's voice was tearful, and her naive look made Lu Xinran want to look down on her with disdain.

But when she thought that these health points were her own life, she also became excited.

"Why is there so much? Haven't you always been stingy before?"

She ate all the melons of the servants in each room of the Lu mansion, but didn't gain much health points.

I didn’t expect that Song Junhe would contribute a whole year.

Could it be that this melon-eating system is disgusted with the poor and loves the rich?

The higher your status, the more life points you will get?

As soon as this thought came into her mind, the system automatically loaded the names of several princes for her.

"I think we should focus on Song Junhua next. He must have some big news."

The system was so excited that it was trembling, and Lu Xinran's eyes went dark.

After finally calming down the inexperienced system, she walked towards Zhaoyun Courtyard with Lu Xinlan under her concerned gaze.

"Let's do it one by one. The emperor has more than 20 sons. Even if this adult prince is bald, we can still raise him!"

If the emperor had worked harder and given birth to a few more sons, her life would have been secure.

Thanks to the efforts and contributions of the princes, she was able to live until the end of this body.

The system hummed for a long time before returning to tinkering with its own program.

Lu Xinlan eavesdropped on the conversation between the two people and felt happy.

She also didn't expect that Song Junhe's melon was so valuable. If the emperor knew that he exiled his precious son to Suzhou and let Lu Xinran gain so much health points, I'm afraid the situation would be extremely complicated.

Pei has been waiting for them to come back, but there are too few things to do every day to kill time.

Hearing the news the two sisters brought back to Beijing was the happiest moment of her day.

"So there's still no progress in this case?"

After Pei heard them talk about their gains today, her heart began to tighten again.

The murderer was so cruel. If this case is not solved soon, who knows if other people will be harmed.

Lu Xinlan thought about today's discovery and explained solemnly, "Not entirely. The other party thought that he set up these magic arrays to trap us and then watch us being fooled around.

"But he doesn't know that the more he does, the more loopholes there will be.

"With so many people in the alley over there, even the most drastic measures could make one or more of them give up and reveal their identities and purpose."

As long as they get a little clue, they will be able to follow the thread and uncover all the subsequent things.

When Lu Xinran heard her say this, he immediately agreed, put on a smile and nodded seriously.

"Grandma, you have to believe us. My sister and I are very capable. We will definitely catch the murderer and bring him to justice!"

This person actually dared to challenge her system!

I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to use my real name!

Pei responded with a smile and looked at the two sisters, but her mind couldn't help but reflect on what happened when Lu Xinran just returned home.

At that time, the two sisters were wary of each other. One was afraid of losing her status as the eldest daughter of the Lu family, and the other was full of resentment. Every time they met, they could feel that they were at loggerheads.

Since when did they become so close?

She withdrew her inquiring gaze. She was old now and just wanted a harmonious family and the people around her to be happy every day. Other things were not important anymore.

Song Jun Helian had no chance to redeem himself. After leaving the palace, he had no time to pack up his belongings and set off for Suzhou with his family.

The change of title was sudden, and he didn't even have a decent place to live in Zhuzhou, let alone the palace of a vassal king.

His queen, concubines and several other wives had no idea what had happened.

She cried all the way, making his already depressed mood even more difficult to suppress. He even beat and scolded the servants from the palace who were brought out along the way.

Song Junhua had new and old grudges piled up on top of each other, and he just wanted to add insult to injury.

Song Junhe's violent cursing on the way to Suzhou was reported to the emperor by Yu Shi in a memorial, and then spread to everyone in the court.

The emperor, who had originally been reluctant and was considering calling his eldest son back to the capital to at least celebrate the New Year before going to his fiefdom, completely lost the last bit of fatherly love in his heart.

Lu Xinran felt that the intrigues in the court had nothing to do with her.

She was completely focused on the corpse dumping case and felt that the officers from Shuntian Prefecture were moving too slowly.

Now that she was able to go out, she went to the streets with Lu Xinlan every day to look for clues.

She has a system that can determine whether the other party is lying.

Knowing that she wanted to solve the case as soon as possible to gain life points, Song Junyan gave them the task of extracting information from the mouths of the yamen runners, who had the highest degree of participation.

Lu Xinran was extremely satisfied with this job. This was... a job that could earn him some "extra money"!

Every pawnbroker in the capital city has their own private affairs that cannot be made public. Although these matters have nothing to do with the case, they are also a source of life value.

She accepted it all without hesitation and enjoyed the feast.

When Zhang Shui'er heard the news, she also came to join in the fun and spent every day with them.
