Chapter 159 It’s Already Here
Everyone listened silently to Lu Xinran's voice.
I know the clue has reached Lu Gaorong, but since they haven't talked to each other, there's no way to call for help openly.
Cui Shenglin looked at the two sisters and found that they were both with their heads down in deep thought, so he quickly turned his gaze to Zhang Shuier for help.
Zhang Shuier immediately coughed inwardly: "Master Cui, please let someone check again. Whose house do his parents work for? If it is a wealthy family, he must have a master as a house-born child."
When Lu Xinran heard her words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and could only wait anxiously for Cui Sheng's neighbor's servant to drag him to the next private room.
After a while, the servant opened the door and came in, explaining the details of the investigation to them one by one.
When Lu Xinran heard the three words "Lu Gaorong", he immediately felt relieved.
This guy's mouth isn't that strict.
The servant of Cui Sheng's neighbor saw through his master's thoughts at a glance, and without him having to tell him specifically, he immediately went to the Lu family to ask for help.
Lu Xinran was surrounded by a group of people, listening to them chattering and making requests.
"Why don't we examine all the remaining teeth again?"
After all, we are here~
If there is a big news, you will make money if you hear about it.
Lu Xinran looked at the several guards who were brought in and instantly perked up.
Don’t miss the life points that are right in front of you.
She was flipping through the system, enjoying the melon, and the people in the private room were also enjoying the melon as they listened to her thoughts.
The few people who were brought in were so nervous that their throats were dry and they kept swallowing.
These people, what's wrong with them? They called them in but didn't say a word, just stared at them, like... like crazy!
The gossips of these people were not very interesting to the people in the room, after all, the protagonists in the gossips were strangers.
Watching the excitement of strangers is never as exciting as reading the gossip about familiar people.
After Lu Xinran completed his task and read all of these, he still felt unsatisfied.
Her eyes swept over everyone in the room. Her furtive glances made everyone's heart tremble, and they instantly realized that they might very well change from being spectators to the protagonists of the big melon.
[Whose big melon should we see? How about this neighbor Choi Seung? ]
[A famous playboy in the capital, he must have a lot of big scandals, right? ]
Cui Shenglin looked at her in astonishment. This, this is simply repaying kindness with enmity!
He tried so hard to help, and even allowed himself to be a little more dissolute, but she was going to expose his little troubles in front of everyone?
He stood up quickly and was about to go out to avoid the disaster when he saw his servant nervously pushing the door open and running in.
"Master, Second Miss, the Master of the Lu Family is not at home. I asked the servants of the Lu Family, and they said that the Master had just received a message, and then he hurried out of the city with his people and luggage."
"Leave the city?"
Cui Shenglin took a few steps forward excitedly and was about to say something, then immediately turned around and looked at the two sisters in a fawning manner.
"Miss, don't you think Lu Gaorong noticed something was wrong and left to avoid the storm?"
Various thoughts flashed through Lu Xinlan's mind, "Master Cui, please ask the servant to go to Shuntian Mansion to deliver a message and inform the Fourth Prince of everything that happened here.
"At the Lu Mansion, if there is a way, it would be best to find out what message the messenger conveyed to the young master of the Lu family."
If this corpse-dismemberment case was really related to Lu Gaorong, then he must have hurried out of the city to avoid being hunted down.
If he was not the main murderer in this case, he would have been in great danger of his life if he had rushed out of town upon receiving the news.
The other party is likely to kill people to silence them and completely cut off all clues.
After hearing Lu Xinlan's analysis, everyone's hearts suddenly became tense.
But they were not officials, so even if they had the news they could not arrest the person directly. They could only send someone to Shuntian Prefecture to deliver the news while sending others to chase him out of the city.
Song Junyan had always known that the Lu sisters had been looking for clues in the city these days, and he also heard that many young men and women from other families had been surrounding them and listening in on the fun.
But he didn't expect that they would act so quickly and have new clues so quickly.
Not only did he find out who rented the courtyards in Yongningfang, but he also happened to find out the news that Lu Gaorong had left the capital.
He hurriedly asked his men to go out of the city to chase after him. Regardless of whether Lu Gaorong was the murderer or not, now that there was evidence pointing to him as the tenant of the yard, he could openly send people to arrest him and bring him back for interrogation.
He acted extremely quickly. Upon receiving the news, Ding San immediately led people to chase after him.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Ding San left, Lu Xinlan's analysis was also sent over.
As a result, another group of people chased out of the city.
The group waited in the teahouse from afternoon till dark, but still no one came back with any news.
The city gates would be closed in a little while, and knowing that there would be no progress today, everyone bowed and said goodbye in front of the teahouse, and unilaterally agreed to meet here early tomorrow morning.
Lu Xinran looked at the departing carriages, feeling speechless about the forced sale.
"Sister, isn't it said that the young ladies and gentlemen raised by these big families are all arrogant and it is difficult for ordinary people to integrate into their circle?"
How come these people... doesn't she see any arrogance at all?
Lu Xinlan looked at her in confusion, "You also said that ordinary people are hard to catch their eyes."
She is not an ordinary person, so naturally there won't be any problems.
Seriously speaking, the reason why she, the former eldest girl of the Lu family, can still maintain the dignity she once had is because of her voice, the help of the system, and her recognition of her as a 'sister'.
As it got dark, the two returned home to wait for news.
The next morning, before they even left the house, a servant from Cui Sheng's neighbor came to deliver the news.
Lu Gaorong was captured by Song Junyan's men on the official road heading south and was on his way back to Beijing.
He will be taken back to the capital at noon and directly to the prison in Shuntian Prefecture to await trial.
Cui Sheng's neighbor thought he had helped a lot in this matter, so he had to attend the trial in Shuntian Prefecture.
He wants to be the first to know the latest developments of the case instead of waiting for others to tell him.
Therefore, he knew exactly who to cling to, and asked the servant to help him gain favor early in the morning.
The two sisters breathed a sigh of relief when they received the news.
It is still unknown whether Lu Gaorong is the murderer. If he is the one who signs and seals the case after the interrogation, the case can be closed.
But if it wasn't him, they would have saved his life.
If he was not deeply involved and did not participate in the killing and dismemberment, then his life could be saved even though he was an accomplice.
They intercepted the man on the way and brought him back, which saved his life.
Lu Xinran knew the purpose of Cui Shenglin coming to curry favor with her. Although Cui Shenglin was a playboy, different people have different circles. As long as there were no dirty things in front of Lu Xinran, she still hoped that she could have different types of friends around her so that she could do things more smoothly in the future.
She asked her servant to tell the boy a message, and then she went to Pei's room with Lu Xinran.
Just after the hour of Chen, the two anxious sisters left home and rushed to Shuntian Prefecture.
