Gu Yunru grasped the key point of the words and asked curiously.

"This..." The lady's eyes were evasive, she knew she had let the cat out of the bag, and she quickly changed the subject.

"My husband suffered a work-related injury. The court should take care of this matter." After the Shangshu's wife finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Yunru ignored her and took a sip of tea.

"Mother, there are no monsters in this world!" One of the Shangshu's little daughters sobbed and seemed to be quite suspicious about her father's death, but the lady covered her mouth guiltily, stared at her, and asked the servants to take her out.

Seeing this, Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen seemed to understand something. It seemed that the Shangshu's wife was indeed hiding something from them. Rong Zhen coughed lightly and moved his sharp and keen gaze to the Shangshu's wife's face.

"Madam, what happened? Why did your daughter say that?" Rong Zhen stared at her with his deep eyes, and the Shangshu's wife lowered her head guiltily.

Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, the minister's wife made up a lot of stories and even said that there was a ghost in her house.

Rong Zhen felt that something was fishy, ​​and seeing that his wife refused to cooperate, he guessed that there must be someone behind the scenes. Perhaps his wife knew something, but not the details.

After the two came out of the Shangshu Mansion, they went to Ruyi Inn for a meal. Sitting face to face, Gu Yunru looked thoughtful.

"Hey, do you think that the minister's wife is weird?" Gu Yunru was thinking about this matter all the way while eating the noodles in the bowl.

"Well, tell me about it." Rong Zhen stared at him and seemed to have no appetite for noodles.

"I noticed that when Madam talked about the adults, her eyes were always evasive, as if she was hiding something." Gu Yunru used psychology to analyze and could tell at a glance whether the person was lying or not. Rong Zhen always felt that the psychology she talked about was very similar to that of those charlatans.

"Can you tell what I'm thinking now?"

Rong Zhen asked teasingly, raising his thick eyebrows, wanting to see if she could figure out what he was thinking about at the moment.

"You... don't interrupt me, I'm serious!" Gu Yunru hung her head and continued to eat a mouthful of noodles. She was busy with Kappa's affairs and hadn't rested or had a proper meal for several days.

"Although the water monkey has been caught, I always feel that the matter is not over yet." Gu Yunru had a strong premonition in his heart, always feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Rong Zhen's thoughts were surprisingly similar to hers.

The two people were in sync. "If Cui Ping didn't die at the hands of the water monkey, then he might have been deliberately murdered." The entire lake was salvaged, but no bones were found. The clothes found might not necessarily belong to Cui Ping. In this case, someone might have deliberately set off a smokescreen to disrupt their search.

"What exactly does the person behind the scenes want to do? The water monkey has great attack power, but it won't eat little girls, and it's not a monster with supernatural powers."

This so-called water monkey looks ugly, but according to Gu Yunru's observation, it is just an extremely rare wild beast.

It is also possible that it was placed in the lake intentionally to confuse the people.

"Now everyone is convinced that there is a kappa at work. We have also caught the so-called kappa. Let's see what they are going to do next."

Gu Yunru touched her chin thoughtfully and winked at him.

"How about we go to the Shangshu Mansion tonight?"

Rong Zhen looked at Gu Yunru in front of him and found that she was really tireless.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

"Of course, we can't let go of any suspicious points!" Gu Yunru gritted her teeth and said firmly. She looked at Rong Zhen who was hesitating in front of her with a smile, "Eat quickly, it's getting dark soon, maybe we can find something if we go in."

"Yeah." Rong Zhen suddenly thought of something. He had given the child to an old lady in Lin Village to take care of. Now that the government has intervened in the matter of sacrifice, the villagers should not organize sacrifices again.

"I'll go there first and be back soon." After Rong Zhen said that, he hurried to the neighboring village to return the child. Gu Yunru waited for him at Ruyi Inn.

After waiting for a long time, I unexpectedly waited for Cheng Shaoyuan to show up.

Cheng Shaoyuan also came back from the Shangshu Mansion and also went to inquire about information with them, but found nothing.

"Brother Cheng?" Gu Yunru waved at him, and when there was no one around, she called him Brother Cheng to shorten the distance between the two of them.

He seemed to look around with some hesitation, and after making sure there were no outsiders around, he sat down in front of her nonchalantly with a faint smile on his lips.

"Didn't you leave with the prince? Why are you here again?" After Cheng Shaoyuan looked around and didn't see Rong Zhen, he sat down with peace of mind.

"He went out for something. How is it? Has the water monkey been sent to the Dali Temple?" Gu Yunru looked at him steadily, his eyes sparkling, as if stained with a layer of halo, making people feel trapped in them.

"It has been sent there. This monster only knows how to eat. It has no strength after being hungry for two meals." Cheng Shaoyuan still couldn't believe that it was this thing that was causing trouble in the river and actually attracted so many people to be so devout and cost so many innocent lives.

Gu Yunru nodded in satisfaction, looking like she was troubled. Cheng Shaoyuan looked her up and down and said, "Can your so-called psychology really tell what people are thinking at a glance?"

He had met Gu Yunru occasionally, and he knew that he had succeeded every time using this method, but he thought that the previous wins were just luck. He didn't expect that there really was such a thing as psychology.

"Of course, my thoughts are very accurate. Why don't you look into my eyes? I can know what you are thinking right now." Hearing Gu Yunru's firm tone, Cheng Shaoyuan felt a little guilty.

"I don't believe it."

Cheng Shaoyuan would never believe that there was such a strange Kung Fu in this world. Although he said he didn't believe it, he still looked at her bright eyes honestly, which seemed to contain the vast starry sky.

Gu Yunru stared into his eyes calmly and found that his mind was empty and he was not thinking about anything.

"You are just cheating. Since you are not thinking about anything, what should you let me guess?" Gu Yunru raised the tea in the cup and drank it all. If she wanted to use her psychology, she had to target someone. It was difficult to tell what someone with such a strong will like Cheng Shaoyuan was thinking.

"But the person with the strongest willpower I've ever seen is Rong Zhen. I can sense when he's angry, but sometimes he's not angry and his eyes are so deep that I don't know what he's thinking."
