Chapter 19
The audience below panicked when they saw this scene, and immediately rushed towards the door. Just as they were about to lose control, Zhuo Yun slammed the table and showed the Jinwu Guard token, "Jinwu Guards are here, everyone evacuate in an orderly manner, don't panic."
The Jinwu Guards are so handsome.
Jian Xinyi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In comparison, someone was really just...experiencing life.
Why does she always think of that person? No, no, she has to go find Dule.
"Dule, Dule, where are you?" Jian Xinyi went against the crowd but couldn't find Dule. She couldn't help but feel anxious. "Dule?"
Suddenly, she was bumped by a strong man and stumbled back a few times. When she turned around, she found that the troupe owner was looking at her with a burning gaze, "How could you actually come in to watch the show?"
Jian Xinyi's desire to win was immediately ignited by these words. She raised her head suddenly and looked at him with her handsome jawline, "I spent money."
Several people came out again. Jian Xinyi couldn't dodge in time and fell backwards suddenly. Just as she was swinging her arms backwards quickly to gain balance, the class owner suddenly reached out and caught her.
Jian Xinyi's eyes suddenly widened. The boss's beautiful face that infuriated both humans and gods was right in front of her, and his hand was on her back. She was about to play the pink BGM in her mind, but he violently dropped it.
"Oh, you have..." Jian Xinyi was about to curse, but she saw the master took a few steps forward and saluted very respectfully: "Master Jinwuwei, this matter is thanks to you."
"You're welcome. It's my job." Zhuo Yun nodded nonchalantly and helped Jian Xinyi up. "Why don't you leave first? I'll call a few colleagues over and we'll handle this matter."
"Ke Dule is missing. I brought her here." Jian Xinyi was a little anxious. How could she disappear at this time?
The class owner's eyes swirled between Jian Xinyi and the other person, and finally he smiled slightly, "Du Le might have run to the backyard. Why don't you go there and take a look?"
Jian Xinyi had no choice but to nod and went to the backyard to look for someone. Before leaving, she took a look at the corpse on the stage.
Oh my God, this is really scary. She has only watched 900 episodes of Conan and hasn't watched the rest yet. How could the evil power come back to her? She doesn't want to be the god of death.
She suppressed her panic and quickly ran to the backyard to look for someone. It was dark at this time, and the gloomy moonlight made the scene even more desolate. Jian Xinyi walked forward step by step, shouting loudly: "Dule, Dule, where are you?"
No one answered.
The howling north wind blew by, and Jian Xinyi hugged herself tightly. The coldness was even worse at this time. The actors were gathered backstage waiting to be interrogated by the Jinwu Guards. There was really no one in the backyard, so she quickened her pace.
"Dule, Dule." Jian Xinyi continued to shout loudly to give herself courage, until she saw a figure standing motionless in front of her, "Who, who is there?"
"Sister, I found the gold bracelet." Dule took the gold bracelet in her hand, facing the moonlight at night, but Jian Xinyi saw traces of tears on her little face.
She walked up quickly, hugged Xiao Dule, and comforted him, "Don't cry, it's good that you found it."
When Jian Xinyi was a little older than her, she was also framed.
It was obvious that the person forgot to bring his pencil case, but he falsely accused her of stealing it, snatched her schoolbag and poured out all the things in it. In the sixth grade, countless girls' comics and sanitary napkins were scattered, just like her self-esteem.
Even though she knows now that she shouldn't be ashamed of menstruation, she didn't know it at that time, and those boys who were making trouble didn't know it either.
Later, the classmate apologized, but what could she do? In the eyes of those classmates who were watching the fun, she was still the precocious fat girl who loved reading comics.
She led the sobbing little Dule to the troupe master. She wiped the tears from her face and whispered, "Master, Jin Chuan has been found."
"Is this the time to discuss this issue?" The class leader said with a serious expression, his cold eyes swept over the two of them fiercely, and he walked away in a huff.
The two sighed and hurried after him, only to see a man who looked like a medical officer come out and loudly declare, "This woman has been poisoned. It looks like the poison is the cold snake grass from the Western Regions. This poison is colorless and odorless, but it can rupture internal organs and kill within an hour."
Actually using poison?
This time we can start with the murder weapon.
"In that case, why not find someone's room that has this cold snake grass?" Jian Xinyi said casually, but it attracted the attention of the troupe and the Jinwu Guards. She felt embarrassed again, "Isn't it?"
Zhuo Yun stood up and demanded in a resounding voice, "Master, you're not stubbornly stubborn about something that even outsiders understand, are you?"
Jian Xinyi looked at the two men in front of her with a puzzled look on her face as they played dumb. Suddenly, a beautiful woman knelt before the class leader and begged for mercy, "Class leader, it really wasn't me. I don't even know what cold snake grass is, let alone how it got into my room."
She looked up at the woman, her eyes tearing up, looking so pitiful. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Du Le shaking her sleeves, "This is Sister Lingyan."
Jian Xinyi immediately fell silent.
She just needs to watch the show carefully. This show is even more exciting than the one tonight.
A man dressed as a young male came out to stir up trouble, accusing her, "Lingyan, don't think the troupe owner doesn't know. You've long disliked Manru and want to replace her as the leading Huadan in the Wanhua Pavilion."
"How could that be? Even if I wanted to be a Hua Dan, I wouldn't resort to such tactics." Lingyan was clearly frightened and kowtowed repeatedly before the troupe leader, "Boss, please."
"Take it away."
The man was the most ruthless. He waved his hand and let the Jinwu Guards take the man away.
Lingyan's cry was so mournful that even Jian Xinyi couldn't help but turn her head away. When she looked up, she saw that Zhuoyun's face was not very good either, with a frown on his face, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
"Come back, we still have to sing "Bright Moon Fairy". You can take over for a few performances first, and then I will find someone suitable." The troupe owner looked at Du Le, who still had tears on his face, and his tone was still cold.
Dule, however, nodded slowly as if he was dumbfounded, and followed the class owner into the backstage. Before leaving, he held her hand and said, "Sister Zhuiyu, thank you very much. I will find a way to deal with your book."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Jian Xinyi touched her head, but her eyes gradually became deeper.
The ultimate beneficiary was actually her.
Could it be that this case is related to her?
"The Wanhua Pavilion show is over. Please leave immediately." The troupe owner looked at her reluctantly, with a particularly contemptuous look and an indifferent tone.
Jian Xinyi was about to argue, but Zhuo Yun stepped forward and said softly, "I'll take you home. We can go back to Wuhou Mansion on the way."
She snorted and followed Zhuo Yun out.
The cold moonlight poured onto the stone road. Zhuo Yun's expression flickered. Jian Xinyi didn't know what to say for a moment, and the two of them walked in silence all the way.
The streets were not deserted at night, with the sounds of small vendors selling their wares coming and going, but she was in no mood to appreciate them.
"Why do you look so bad? Are you scared?"
Zhuo Yun's voice brought her out of her wild thoughts. Inexplicably, she felt her heart calmer than before. She slowly said, "This matter may not be that simple."
"I've heard about the case of you and Qian Yuan for the third place in the imperial examination. It is said that it was full of twists and turns." Zhuo Yun smiled slightly, but there was a coldness in his eyes when he looked at her.
"Qian Yuan, yes, that case was all thanks to him." Jian Xinyi didn't say much, nor did she want to mention this person anymore. "I was just wondering if it could be Du Le. After all, she wasn't there at the time..."
Zhuo Yun thought about it carefully and said thoughtfully, "But the theater sold tickets half an hour ago. The drug took effect within an hour. Even if Du Le took the drug, I guess the effect will take some time to show."
"Yes, and it takes time for her to administer the drug. An hour wouldn't be enough for the disease to develop."
Jian Xinyi frowned inadvertently. Could it be that Lingyan really killed Manru for the position of Huadan?
Is it that simple?
"Forget it. This matter will be decided by the Jingzhao Yin Jinwu Guard. You don't have to worry, Chief Constable." Zhuo Yun gently tapped Jian Xinyi's forehead with his index finger.
She subconsciously covered it and complained, "Why are you doing this?"
"I'm worried you'll go crazy." Zhuo Yun's smile reached his eyes, and even the cold moonlight in his eyes was tinged with some worldly air, becoming easily accessible. Jian Xinyi walked quickly, ignoring him, but heard Zhuo Yun saying from behind, "If you really like investigating cases, it's not a bad idea to pass the exam to join the Jinwu Guard. I can even give you some pointers."
Why are there still seniors who force people to buy and sell real exam questions?
She covered her ears and walked faster, but she didn't look at the road ahead and suddenly bumped into someone.
Jian Xinyi looked up subconsciously, only to find that the man's eyes were very familiar and as cold as ice.
Qian Yuan!
Why is he here?
No, there's more behind me...
"Qian Yuan, why are you here?" Zhuo Yun's expression changed slightly, then quickly returned to a state of joy. "I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you finally willing to return to the team?"
Jian Xinyi's embarrassing habit came back, and she quickly grabbed Zhuo Yun and said, "Brother Zhuo, I'm really sorry to bother you today. Please just send me here."
"How can that be? We haven't even reached your house yet." Zhuo Yun looked puzzled, not noticing that Jian Xinyi's back teeth were about to break from her biting. He patted Qian Yuan's shoulder and said, "There's been a murder at Wanhua Pavilion. Come to the team tomorrow. The brothers will definitely thank you."
Qian Yuan's eyes looked murderous. Just as he was about to speak, Jian Xinyi stopped him, "Brother Zhuo, it's so late today. We still have to solve the case tomorrow. You should take a break. Brother Qian can just take me home."
"Well then, if there's any new information about Wanhua Pavilion, I'll tell you. Thank you for inviting me to the show."
Zhuo Yun's words were fair and square, but to Jian Xinyi, they were like thunderbolts. She suppressed her anger and sent Zhuo Yun away. Turning around, she saw the culprit behind the money, Guangbi, and said, "Big Detective, where did you get the money to treat people to a play?"
