Chapter 288 A Familiar Person
"Mole? No." Lu Huai hesitated for a moment before shaking his head slightly.
Lin Zhiqing was a little disappointed, but she also knew that such a coincidence would not happen.
Just as she was about to speak, Lu Huai's hesitant voice came over: "But it's possible."
Lin Zhiqing frowned: "What does this mean?"
"I wonder if you remember the fire in the Ministry of Justice a few months ago." Lu Huai asked.
Ministry of Justice, fire?
Lin Zhiqing coughed lightly: "Remember."
Not only do people remember, but up to now no one knows that the fire in the Ministry of Justice was set by Lin Zhiqing in order to check the body of Concubine Chun.
"That day, after the Ministry of Justice caught fire, someone broke into the prison and rescued a prisoner. You must have heard about this incident."
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Indeed, I have heard of it."
At that time, this incident served as a cover for Lin Zhiqing. The Ministry of Justice blamed the arson on the prison breakers, which accidentally saved Lin Zhiqing a lot of trouble.
Lu Huai didn't know about this and frowned slightly:
"When I was investigating people passing through the alley a few days ago, I found that the information of one woman was not registered with the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"According to the laws of the Great Sheng, the Ministry of Revenue will keep information on anyone who has not been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice or had their property confiscated and their family exterminated."
"This woman is obviously not simple, so I used some means to go to the Ministry of Justice to retrieve her information."
"This investigation actually helped me find out some things."
"Could it be... that this woman is the prisoner who was rescued when the Ministry of Justice caught fire last time?" Lin Zhiqing asked.
"That's right." Lu Huai confirmed: "I asked someone who saw the woman in that alley to draw her portrait."
"She looks exactly like the woman who escaped from the prison during the fire at the Ministry of Justice, except..."
Lin Zhiqing was surprised, but soon realized what Lu Huai meant:
"The man who escaped from prison had a mole on his face, but the woman who appeared in the alley didn't have a mole on her face?"
"That's right." Lu Huai nodded: "Having said that, I suspect these two are the same person."
"That little mole is really obvious. Perhaps after escaping from prison, the woman managed to cover it up."
"That's possible. Can you show me the portrait?" Lin Zhiqing's mind flashed with some fragments of memories from the Ministry of Justice prison:
"When I went to the Ministry of Justice to visit my fourth uncle, I must have seen a prisoner with a mole on his face, but it's been a while, so I can't remember clearly."
"Have you seen it? What a coincidence." Lu Huai said as he opened the painting.
A woman's face came into view, overlapping with the figure in Lin Zhiqing's vague memory.
Lin Zhiqing frowned as he watched.
Seeing this, Lu Huai said, "Aqing, what's wrong?"
"I have indeed met her, and not just once in the Ministry of Justice's prison." Lin Zhiqing's expression gradually became serious.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Lu Huai asked, "What do you mean?"
"Yongqing, I saw her in Yongqing County!" Lin Zhiqing remembered that when she and Lin Yangyang went to Yongqing, they found an inn to stay.
That night, she passed by this woman. At that time, she still had a mole at the corner of her eye.
When Yongqing was mentioned, Lu Huai instantly understood why Lin Zhiqing looked so serious.
Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang went to Yongqing on a whim and did not alert anyone.
It was also in Yongqing that Lin Zhiqing discovered the truth about Lin Congrong's treason.
Now she suddenly learned that a person who was suspected of killing Aunt Mu also appeared in Yongqing!
This news is really chilling.
Could it be that their whereabouts have always been known by someone else?
Zheng Kuo, Yan Yu, could it be that these people have been exposed?
Seeing Lin Zhiqing frowning, Lu Huai reminded him:
"Ah Qing, does the maid named Yun Jian know about your trip to Yongqing?"
"I don't know." Lin Zhiqing shook his head.
Lu Huai nodded. "That's right. No one knows about this. No matter how much Yun Jian reported it, she couldn't even mention the word Yongqing. How could that woman have gotten the news and followed you to Yongqing?"
"Besides, did you ever meet each other at that time?"
Lin Zhiqing shook his head again:
"No, she only glanced at me briefly in the prison and passed me in Yongqing. She had seen my face in the prison, but I was wearing men's makeup when I went to Yongqing, so I'm not sure if she recognized me."
"That's it." Lu Huai patiently explained:
"This doesn't make sense. If the woman with the mole knew you noticed her, she certainly wouldn't risk trying to murder Aunt Mu."
"She did this simply because she thought you couldn't find anything on her and the government couldn't do anything to her."
Lu Huai's words made Lin Zhiqing feel a little relieved, and he reported the incident to the police on the same day Aunt Mu got into trouble.
But the government hasn't figured out the cause of the matter for such a long time, and she and Lu Huai actually have more information.
When she thought about it carefully, some things did not make sense.
For example, if the woman was going after them, it would be better for her to hide in the dark, so why would she meet them face to face?
Besides, Lin Zhiqing didn't think that man noticed them at the inn at that time.
If the woman really followed them, then why was there no news about her going to Yongqing and meeting Zheng Kuo?
Feeling a little relieved, Lin Zhiqing patiently analyzed:
"If this woman doesn't have twin sisters, then the person I saw in Yongqing and the prison, the person who appeared in the alley, and the contact person Yun Jian mentioned must be the same person."
"If she has some connection with the gambling house and appears in Yongqing, I can write a letter and ask Yan Yu to find out."
Lu Huai agreed with her statement:
"The possibility of twins is small, and it's impossible to completely remove the mole. If it's the same person, she must have covered the mole when she was out in public."
"Yes, I'm thinking about something else now." Lin Zhiqing frowned:
"Is this person related to Jiang Liuyun and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?"
"I found Jiang Liuyun's footprints at the scene of Aunt Mu's death that day, but I can't guarantee that Jiang Liuyun's footprints are the only ones that match."
"My initial confidence was also because I wanted to trick him."
"There are only three possibilities. First, someone is deliberately trying to point the finger at Jiang Liuyun, so that I can focus on him and hide the woman with the mole."
"Secondly, it was Jiang Liuyun who did it. He wanted to take advantage of my opponent's mentality and make me think that a cautious person like him would not leave such an obvious handle."
"Ah Qing, he's always good at acting. I don't think this matter has nothing to do with him." Lu Huai frowned slightly.
"Once we get news from Yongqing and catch this woman, everything will be revealed."
Lin Zhiqing sighed slightly, then nodded.
Rather than an unfamiliar third-party force, she would rather this woman be Jiang Liuyun's person.
In this way, at least she doesn't have to look back and worry about a force hidden in the dark.
