Chapter 498 All clues are broken
Luo Qing looked at him coldly.
Look, this is a noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Peel off the bright outer layer and you will find that the inside is already smelly.
Luo Qinghan stood up and left without even looking at Young Master Cui again.
Dong Mingchun quickly followed him out: "Your Highness, how should we deal with Young Master Cui?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Keep him locked up and don't let anyone get close to him."
"Yes."
Luo Qinghan sent a message to Mei Guangtao, asking him to go to Cui's house to arrest people.
Time is precious, so while waiting for news, Luo Qinghan went to the Qin family in person.
Qin Lie received him personally.
The two of them exchanged some insincere pleasantries.
Luo Qinghan expressed his desire to meet Qin Wen.
Qin Lie said helplessly, "The exam is approaching, and my son is under too much pressure. He has not been feeling well these past two days. I ask him to stay home and rest, and not go anywhere."
At this point he changed the subject and smiled amiably.
"Of course, Your Highness, the Crown Prince came to see him in person. He would come to see you even if his leg was broken, let alone just feeling unwell. Please wait a moment, I will have someone call him over."
A moment later, Qin Wen appeared in front of Luo Qinghan.
Qin Wen is twenty-three years old this year. He is handsome, but his face is a little pale and he seems to be really unwell.
He greeted the prince.
Luo Qinghan first chatted with him casually for a few words, and unknowingly brought the topic to the poetry meeting.
Qin Wen said shyly: "It's called a poetry gathering, but in fact it's just everyone drinking tea and chatting together, nothing special."
Luo Qinghan asked: "I heard that you invited a lot of people that day?"
"To be honest, I originally just wanted to invite a few good friends to have a gathering under the pretext of a poetry reading, but I didn't expect those friends to invite quite a few people. On the day of the poetry reading, I realized there were so many people, which really shocked me. Guests are guests, and I don't lack that little money, so I asked Donglailou to temporarily add a lot of snacks and food, and everyone had a great time that day."
Luo Qinghan: "So, you are not sure who will be attending the poetry gathering?"
Qin Wen: "Yes, except for the few friends I invited myself, I don't know anyone else."
Luo Qinghan didn't believe a word of his answer.
But Luo Qinghan's expression did not change at all, and he asked calmly: "Where are your friends?"
Qin Wen confidently gave out four names and also told them their addresses.
Qin Wen then went back to his room to rest, making the excuse of feeling unwell.
Qin Lie personally escorted the prince to the gate.
Zhao Xian, who had been waiting outside the gate, saw the prince coming out, and immediately walked up to him and whispered something in the prince's ear.
"Your Highness, the head of the Cui family is dead."
Luo Qinghan's expression changed slightly.
He subconsciously turned around to look at Qin Lie.
Qin Lie asked with a smile: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
Luo Qinghan looked at him steadily for a long time before saying, "Ginger is indeed more experienced."
Qin Lie still smiled and did not respond.
Luo Qinghan got into the carriage.
The carriage slowly left the Qin family and headed towards Jingzhao Prefecture.
Zhao Xian rode his horse beside the carriage and whispered, "Just now, Prefect Mei personally led people to the Cui family to arrest someone. When they arrived at the Cui family, they found out that the head of the Cui family was dead. He hanged himself. He also left a suicide note. In the suicide note, he admitted his crime of stealing exam questions and reselling them to make money, and said that he had no face to live anymore."
Luo Qinghan sneered.
He didn't die earlier or later, but died at this critical moment. It's obvious that this was intentional!
When they arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, Luo Qinghan called Mei Guangtao over and asked about the details of the matter.
Mei Guangtao said with a bitter face: "I have had someone check the handwriting of the suicide note. It is indeed the handwriting of the head of the Cui family. The handwriting is neat and clean, which means that the person was conscious when he wrote the letter. In addition, the coroner has also given the autopsy results. The head of the Cui family committed suicide. There are no suspicious marks on the body."
Based on his many years of experience in handling cases, the head of the Cui family was most likely being used as a scapegoat.
This shows that someone does not want the case to be investigated further.
It is conceivable that the person who could force the head of the Cui family to commit suicide is definitely not an ordinary person.
The case is getting more and more complicated.
Luo Qinghan frowned and said nothing.
Mei Guangtao asked cautiously, "Do you want to continue investigating?"
Luo Qinghan did not answer but asked: "What do you think?"
Mei Guangtao: "All our clues have been cut off. We can't investigate further even if we want to."
Luo Qinghan sneered: "Who said all the clues are gone?"
Mei Guangtao was stunned: "Do you have any other clues?"
Luo Qinghan did not answer. He left Jingzhao Prefecture without looking back and took a carriage back to the palace.
Inside Qingge Palace.
Xiao Xixi is taking a nap.
She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't hear the knock on the door at all.
Baoqin knocked on the door several times but failed to wake up Concubine Xiao. She was getting anxious when she heard the prince say.
"All of you, please go down."
The prince came, but Concubine Xiao did not come out to greet him. She was still sleeping soundly in the room. If this matter were to get out, it would definitely cause a lot of criticism.
Baoqin was feeling nervous and wanted to explain a few words for Concubine Xiao, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by Eunuch Chang.
Eunuch Chang whispered, "Your Highness has something to tell the Concubine, let's go."
Baoqin looked at the prince carefully and felt relieved to see that he looked calm and showed no signs of anger.
She and Eunuch Chang retreated together.
Luo Qinghan pushed the door and walked into the bedroom.
Xiao Xixi was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware that someone had come in.
Luo Qinghan sat down on the edge of the couch, reached into the quilt, skillfully grasped her ankle, and gently stroked her soles with his fingertips.
Xiao Xixi:!!!
She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up with a jerk.
Luo Qinghan let go of her hand and let her retract her foot.
Xiao Xixi burst into tears in frustration.
"I was about to eat the Black Forest cake when you woke me up. My Black Forest cake is gone. You have to pay for it!"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I'll compensate you."
Xiao Xixi continued to cry: "It's easy for you to say that, you don't even know what Black Forest Cake is!"
"Whatever the food is, just let the chef prepare it."
Xiao Xixi said angrily: "Even the royal chef can't make a Black Forest cake!"
Luo Qinghan frowned: "What kind of food is this? It's so rare that even the imperial chef can't make it."
This matter is difficult to clarify, so Xiao Xixi unilaterally ended the topic.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, wrapped herself in the quilt with only her head sticking out. She looked like a big cotton ball.
"Your Highness, aren't you very busy lately? How did you find time to come to my place? Is there anything you need my help with?"
Luo Qinghan rarely showed a little discomfort.
"There is indeed something I need your help with."
Xiao Xixi: "Tell me, what do you want dad to do?"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
