Chapter 203 Unknown Identity
But it turned out that Qin Xiangnuan's feeling was not wrong again.
After nightfall, someone attacked their carriage and was caught on the spot by the secret guards.
"Sir, please spare my life!" The person who shouted was the innkeeper.
Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan came over after hearing the news, and the shopkeeper and his family had almost finished explaining everything.
The secret guard briefly recounted the situation to Jiang Lin, "They claimed they only wanted to find some goodies, nothing else."
The secret guards omitted the details of how the shopkeeper protested his injustice and fought to clear his name.
Jiang Lin sneered after hearing this, "What good things could there be in the carriage? You shouldn't be more careful in finding an excuse."
As we all know, valuables are always carried with people. If the carriage is placed in the stable, there will be nothing else in it except some clothes and dry food.
Qin Xiangnuan frowned and stepped forward to ask, "Have you ever found anything in someone else's carriage before?"
"Young lady, please don't talk nonsense," the shopkeeper said sternly. "This is only our first time, and you've caught us. We haven't taken anything from you. We are innocent."
No one believed their story. Jiang Lin said, "Keep an eye on them and check their identities thoroughly."
"yes."
This investigation actually revealed a big problem.
When searching the inn just now, the secret guard found several people tied up in the room at the end of the second floor. After asking, they learned that the inn belonged to them, but several people suddenly came a few days ago and left them here without any care.
The identity of the person who was looking for something in their carriage was unknown.
"Gu Mingqi's people?" Qin Xiangnuan leaned over to ask Jiang Lin in his ear.
"I can't be sure at this moment." Jiang Lin frowned, it seemed that he had not yet seen the situation in the court clearly.
Qin Xiangnuan still didn't understand the structure of the entire court. She only knew that there was Gu Mingqi who was against Jiang Lin. Now she realized that Jiang Lin also had many enemies in secret.
"What is it about you that is worth their attention?" Qin Xiangnuan asked.
Jiang Lin shook his head. There were too many people eyeing him, and he didn't know why this group of people came.
Qin Xiangnuan had no clue, and Jiang Lin also had no idea at this time. The captured people would rather die than surrender and refused to reveal any useful information.
"Take them on the road first. If the mission fails, the people behind them will definitely send more people." Jiang Lin said to Qin Xiangnuan, "It's late, let's rest for a while."
Qin Xiangnuan nodded, "You should also rest early. We can discuss these troubles tomorrow."
Before Jiang Lin left, he turned around and glanced at the silent men, then ordered the secret guards, "Watch out for their lives."
The secret guard was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement.
When Jiang Lin stepped out of the door, the secret guard caught a glimpse of a man's eyes moving and paid attention to him. The next moment, he saw a hint of red at the corner of his mouth.
"master!"
The secret guard flew over but still missed and let the man fall in front of him.
When he shouted, the remaining few people moved and knocked them out, but the opportunity was fleeting and in the end only two people survived.
Jiang Lin's eyes darkened.
"Master, I am guilty!"
The secret guards knelt down in unison, but Jiang Lin spoke calmly and asked them to stand up.
"Jiang Lin!" Qin Xiangnuan appeared at the door in a panic. Seeing Jiang Lin standing there safe and sound, she held onto the door frame and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nuannuan, what happened!"
"I thought something happened to you."
They both spoke at the same time, and paused when they heard each other's words.
Qin Xiangnuan stood up straight and saw the people lying down one by one. She frowned and asked, "I'm fine. Are they all dead? Did they commit suicide?"
"There are still two people alive." Jiang Lin raised his chin, and the secret guards immediately separated the people.
Qin Xiangnuan went forward to check the situation, but she didn't expect to see poison hidden between the teeth.
"There's no hope." Qin Xiangnuan said.
"It's okay, two survivors are enough." Jiang Lin asked someone to take out the poison.
Qin Xiangnuan took the poison and took a look at it. "Let me analyze it. Maybe there will be some clues."
Jiang Lin hesitated, "This is very poisonous. If you're not careful..."
"No." Qin Xiangnuan promised, "I will take good protection."
Only after Qin Xiangnuan's repeated assurances did Jiang Lin relent.
After receiving the medicine, Qin Xiangnuan immediately put it away and smiled at Jiang Lin, "You can go and rest now."
"nature."
As a result, when Qin Xiangnuan, who had taken the initiative to take a rest, came back after a cup of tea, she met Jiang Lin who had also left.
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
It happened that the secret guard discovered something and called Jiang Lin over.
Qin Xiangnuan turned the syringe in her palm and slowly moved it to a place where Jiang Lin could not see.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as Qin Xiangnuan's needle tip pierced someone's skin, Jiang Lin's voice appeared above her head.
"I..." Qin Xiangnuan immediately turned around, blocking the movement of her hands, and said with a raised corner of her mouth, "I'll also take a look to see if there are any new discoveries."
"We just checked these two people and found nothing unusual." Jiang Lin said.
"Okay." Qin Xiangnuan maintained a smile, and his hand quickly pushed the needle in a few inches, pushing all the potion in.
This was the muscle relaxant she had prepared after returning to the house. It could at least ensure that the two men would not commit suicide within two days.
The medicine was injected, but the needle was difficult to remove, so Qin Xiangnuan still squatted and turned to look at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin waited for her to stand up, "An Feng just discovered a pattern he had never seen before. Let's go take a look together."
Qin Xiangnuan nodded, "You go first. I've been squatting for a long time, and my hands and feet are a little inconvenient. Wait..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Lin leaned over and held her arm, "I'll help you up."
"No need." Qin Xiangnuan's refusal was too quick. She was secretly annoyed for a moment before she slowed down her voice, "You feel a little uncomfortable when you are touched. Just take a rest."
Jiang Lin then slowly stood up, frowning slightly, but still said, "Call me if you need anything," and went to An Feng's place.
Qin Xiangnuan and the others walked away and quickly took back the syringe. For safety reasons, the other person injected the medicine when facing Jiang Lin.
After finishing all the work here, Qin Xiangnuan stood up and walked to Jiang Lin.
At that time, he was talking to someone else. After interrupting, he asked Qin Xiangnuan before continuing.
"When there is news later, we will try to ensure that it is known within a small circle of people." Jiang Lin was talking about checking the origin of the pattern.
"yes."
After that they have to draw the pattern.
In this way, a person's clothes were opened, and the entire front of the chest was exposed to the eyes.
"Nuannuan, everything is fine here, let's go back to the room." Jiang Lin moved sideways to block part of Qin Xiangnuan's sight.
"Wait a moment." Qin Xiangnuan pushed him away. "Let me take a look. It looks familiar."
"Miss Third, have you seen her somewhere before?" An Feng suddenly looked at her.
Qin Xiangnuan did feel somewhat familiar, but it was vague and unreal.
