"Is that so?" Mo Qing uttered two words indifferently, her emotions unreadable.
Feng Guang hurriedly tugged at his little hand, "You have to believe me, I don't like him, let alone that he likes Qiao Ling..."
Wait a minute, with Duanmu Xuan's cold and indifferent personality, the death of a merchant's son is nothing to him. He has no need to come to the scene to handle such a case. The only person who can make Duanmu Xuan break the rules is Qiao Ling.
“Mo Qing, I suspect that the person now suspected by the authorities of killing Zhang Cong is Qiao Ling.”
He asked, amused, "Because Duanmu Xuan is here?"
"Mmm!" She nodded vigorously. Feng Guang was certain; where there was a male lead, there was most likely a female lead too. She then asked, "When you took me away yesterday, was Qiao Ling still in her lap of luxury?"
"Probably." He didn't pay attention to Qiao Ling and could only use the word "probably."
Feng Guang nodded affirmatively, "That must be it. Qiao Ling must have been treated as a criminal and taken into custody. But Qiao Ling doesn't seem like the type to kill anyone."
"Is Feng Guang interested in this case?"
"Indeed, there is a bit..." After all, in her memory, Qiao Ling did nothing but do business and flirt with the male lead. It was a pure romance novel, and there was never anything like a murder case.
"Since you're interested in the scenery, let's go take a look."
"But this place has already been surrounded by government officials..."
He smiled and said, "With me here, you can go wherever you want."
He wasn't lying. Mo Qing, with a flourish, circled around to the back door of the Gentle Paradise. The door was locked, but that didn't stop him. He grabbed her waist and leaped into the air. In the blink of an eye, she landed safely within the territory of the Gentle Paradise.
Feng Guang couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, light-footed kung fu is an essential skill for both home and travel."
He took her hand. "Come with me."
They bypassed the others and soon arrived at the room where Feng Guang had stayed the day before. However, there were also yamen runners guarding the door, so they couldn't hear what the people inside were saying. Mo Qing led Feng Guang to the room next door. There was no one in the room. Feng Guang wanted to ask him how he knew that the room was empty, but he knew martial arts, so it was not surprising that he could tell that the room was empty with his hearing.
However, Feng Guang was not skilled in martial arts, so even after entering the next room, she needed Mo Qing to relay what Duanmu Xuan was saying.
"The officials said they would act according to the law and take Qiao Ling to prison," Mo Qing said. "However, Duanmu Xuan rejected this suggestion."
Feng Guang paused for a moment, "Actually, you don't need to say that Duanmu Xuan abused his power for Qiao Ling. I'd rather know who killed Zhang Cong."
He smiled slightly. "At present, the suspicion is only on Qiao Ling and Miss Yingying. The former's room is where the dead person was found, and the latter was the courtesan the dead person often visited. It is said that this courtesan was not actually very nice to the dead person. However, the knife used to kill the dead was also found in Qiao Ling's room."
She immediately retorted, "Isn't this a blatant frame-up?"
“Indeed.” Mo Qing nodded. “But until more compelling evidence and suspects emerge, Qiao Ling’s suspicions can never be cleared.”
“But with Duanmu Xuan around, even if Qiao Ling really kills someone, she will be fine.”
He said, "With me here, even if you want to kill Duanmu Xuan, it won't matter."
