A boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old appeared in front of everyone through the thick trees and flowers, with a big dog following closely beside him.
The young man had long eyebrows and bright eyes, and even though he was wearing a very ordinary blue shirt, he still looked like a snowy mountain, not ordinary. The big dog beside him was even more majestic, but it limped when it walked, which made people subconsciously ignore its threat.
Jiang Zhan couldn't help but whisper in Jiang Si's ear, "How strange! How could Yu Qige be hanging out with Master Zhen? Could it be that he has become Master Zhen's subordinate?"
"Maybe." Jiang Si also couldn't guess why Yu Jin appeared here.
"That would be nice." Jiang Zhan murmured.
It would be good for Brother Yu Qi to have a proper job, so that it would be easier for him to get married in the future.
Jiang Si felt that his brother's words were a little puzzling, so he looked away and looked at Yu Jin.
Yu Jin quickly walked up to Zhen Shicheng, with a smile on his face: "Sir, I found something interesting."
"Well, I wonder what you found?" Zhen Shicheng looked at the young man in front of him with a faint smile, and then thought of his identity, his mood became particularly complicated.
No one would have thought that this Master Yu was the newly-inaugurated King of Yan, the seventh prince who had never appeared in public since childhood.
Zhen Shicheng was already worried when he remembered that the Ministry of Justice had forced someone to come over and said that the person would help him with the case. When he saw the person and learned about the other person's identity, he became even more worried.
He was particularly annoyed by people interfering in his investigations. If the Seventh Prince relied on his status to interfere, he could not just go to the Ministry of Justice and return the case. After all, it was the Emperor's idea to send several princes to various ministries for training.
What Zhen Shicheng didn't expect was that Yu Jin took the initiative to not reveal his identity and instead participated as his subordinate.
Zhen Shicheng was naturally happy to do so, and he even turned a blind eye to the other party's unreasonable request to bring a dog with him to solve the case.
Ahem, there's nothing we can do. That dog is a fifth-rank dog official, so he can still be considered a colleague!
Yu Jin spread out his hand, and in his palm was a colorful chicken-feather shuttlecock.
Zhen Shicheng had learned a lot through questioning and knew that Su Qingyi was originally playing shuttlecock with the maid in the yard, so the chicken feather shuttlecock that appeared in Yu Jin's hand was intriguing.
The moment Su Qingxue saw the shuttlecock, her face suddenly turned pale.
She went to find Su Qingyi as instructed by her stepmother, and saw him playing with a chicken-feather shuttlecock alone. She coaxed him here by saying she wanted to play with him.
This shuttlecock...how did it end up in this person's hand?
Thinking of the direction Yu Jin had walked out, Su Qingxue couldn't help but clench her hands, her palms wet with sweat.
At that time, she and Su Qingyi were playing in Chaoyang Pavilion.
Chaoyang Pavilion is right next to Juxia Lake and is surrounded by lush flowers and plants. From Juxia Lake, you can only see the eaves of the pavilion and cannot see the scene inside clearly. However, if you sit in the Chaoyang Pavilion, you can see the situation near Juxia Lake clearly through the gaps between the flowers and trees.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Su Qingxue always felt that the cool boy holding the shuttlecock glanced in her direction.
Su Qingxue clenched her fists tightly.
Don't panic. Even if you find the shuttlecock, what's the use? At most, it proves that the second brother has stayed at Chaoyang Pavilion. Who could have known that she would be there too?
No, there is one person who knows, and that is the stepmother.
Su Qingxue glanced cautiously at the first wife, Mrs. You, and quickly looked away.
Her actions were originally arranged by her stepmother. Of course, her stepmother knew that in addition to Jiang Si, she was also in contact with her second brother, but she would not mention it to anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.
After figuring this out, Su Qingxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I found the chicken-feather shuttlecock in the pavilion, which means that the second young master Su had stayed in the pavilion after he left the sight of his personal maid. In other words, the second young master Su might have rushed out of here because he saw Miss Jiang passing by in the pavilion." When Yu Jin mentioned Jiang Si, her voice softened a little, but she restrained herself from looking at her.
Zhen Shicheng nodded, agreeing with Yu Jin's speculation.
Yu Jin weighed the colorful shuttlecock and pursed her lips. "From what people in the Marquis' Mansion say, Second Young Master Su is a mentally retarded idiot. Think about it, would such a person have the patience to stay in the pavilion?"
As he spoke, he casually glanced at the crowd and said calmly, "If there is, then there is only one possibility, there were other people present at the time!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Was there anyone else present? Doesn't this mean that Su Qingyi was actually seen when she stopped Jiang Si?
Who is that person? Why hasn't he come forward?
A series of questions swirled in everyone's mind, causing everyone to stare at the young man who was talking.
You looked at Su Qingxue deeply with a gloomy look.
She had actually been wondering about this for a long time. According to her instructions, after Su Qingxue led Yi'er to get close to Jiang Si, she should have found someone to witness this scene. Only in this way could Jiang Si and Yi'er be put together in a logical way. But later, Jiang Si was safe and sound, while Yi'er died without a sound...
You had so many things to ask Su Qingxue, but there was never a right time.
Under the scrutiny of her stepmother, Su Qingxue used up almost all of her self-control to keep from losing her composure and quickly lowered her head.
And Su Qingyu, who was standing next to Su Qingxue, also looked pale and could barely stand.
She gently touched Su Qingxue with her trembling fingertips, and Su Qingxue suddenly raised her head and looked at her.
Su Qingyu's thick eyelashes kept trembling, questioning Su Qingxue with her eyes.
Su Qingxue hid her hand in her sleeve and squeezed Su Qingyu hard, signaling her not to panic.
Su Qingyu felt cold from her fingertips to her heart, and fear spread bit by bit.
"Who could that person be?" Master Su's eyes were like knives, sweeping across everyone's faces.
Even those who have nothing to hide can hardly hide their nervousness in such situations. As servants, they know too well that those who have nothing to hide may not be able to protect themselves in many cases.
Mr. Su didn't notice anything unusual, and his final gaze fell on Yu Jin's face.
Yu Jin smiled and held out his other hand: "This should be the owner of this handkerchief."
In his hand was a snow-white silk handkerchief, swaying gently in the wind.
Su Qingxue felt a buzzing in her head and took a half step back.
When did she drop her handkerchief?
Yes, she remembered that when she was playing with Su Qingyi, Su Qingyi drooled on the back of her hand. She wiped it with a handkerchief and felt disgusted, so she threw the handkerchief away...
The more Su Qingxue thought about it, the more panicked she became.
At this time, Su Qingshuang suddenly spoke up: "Handkerchiefs like this are usually only used by masters or respectable servants."
After hearing this, Su Qingxue suddenly calmed down.
Don't panic. There's not even a pattern on this handkerchief. Who can prove it's hers?
You closed her eyes.
There is no doubt about it. Su Qingxue did coax Yier to play in Chaoyang Pavilion. I just don’t know what this little bitch saw. Or in other words, could it be that Yier was killed by this little bitch?
