A single glance is enough to give one a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
The sound was like the March rain, gentle and pleasant.
Old Master Dong clearly recognized Li Qingyu, and nodded in acknowledgment, "She had an affair before her death, and was killed while she still had a breath left."
That's spot on.
Li Junru not only had an affair with Xie Lingyu, but he also died a romantic death, and in such a tragic way.
Li Qingyu's face showed a hint of resentment, and a trace of fierceness flashed between her brows, but she did not lose her composure. She nodded to Old Master Dong, then walked to the corpse and helped the Minister, who was already an old man who had lost his son and was weeping with his face covered. "Father, do not worry. Do not let my brother know in the afterlife and not be at peace."
"My son, why are you like this..."
For a moment, the father and daughter stared at the corpse, a sorrowful aura of death pervading the air.
Of course, the outermost area was already blocked off by the Prefect of the Capital, preventing anyone from getting close.
Just then, General Xie, having received the news, arrived.
Xie Lingyu was not his daughter, so when General Xie came over, although his expression was solemn, he only glanced at her, greeted the Prefect of the Capital with a few words, comforted the Minister, and then left with a sigh.
“My brother has been gone since last night… Lord Huo, you will surely investigate this case with utmost importance.” After a long while, Li Qingyu looked away from the corpse and bowed deeply to the Prefect of the Capital.
While the ceremony was respectful, these words truly put immense pressure on the Prefect of the Capital.
If the eldest son of the Minister's family had escaped, he could still have something to say. But now, he's still in the capital and has died like this. It's truly a case of his inadequate supervision.
"Miss Li, rest assured, I will investigate this matter thoroughly without further ado."
"Investigate, of course we must investigate! We must find out who did it, and I will tear her to pieces!" The Minister of War wept bitterly, his anger and grief reaching their peak.
The Prefect of the Capital hurriedly stepped forward, "Lord Li, rest assured. However, I must first report this matter to the Emperor and request that he send more men."
“I know that the eldest daughter of the General’s Mansion has recently gained the Emperor’s favor and is also investigating a case. Perhaps she can be of help in this matter,” Li Qingyu suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the Prefect of the Capital was taken aback, "This..."
"She must have something special to gain the Emperor's favor. Later, I would like to ask Lord Huo if she has any ideas. If she can let me investigate the case with her, I can also contribute to the case."
Li Qingyu looked serious.
"This..." The Prefect of the Capital said with some helplessness, "I haven't been able to see Miss Xie today. She must be busy with something. So, Miss Li can talk to her about this herself."
"good."
Li Qingyu smiled slightly, "As long as Lord Huo is happy to see this happen, I think Miss Xie will naturally not refuse. If I can help her, she will surely be very happy."
The Prefect of the Capital lowered his brows slightly and said nothing more.
In his heart, he thought to himself, "This young lady from the Ministry of War's mansion may seem unhurried and unhurried, but she's not someone to be trifled with."
However, Miss Xie... is not a simple person either.
Meanwhile, Xie Lingqin felt a chill run through her heart.
She was absolutely certain that Li Qingyu suspected her, and she also believed that not only her, but also the Minister and the Prefect of the Capital himself had some doubts about her.
After all, in recent days, the people who have the deepest grudge against Li Junru are Zong Zhengfu and her, Xie Lingqin.
If Li Qingyu says this now, then if she refuses to let Li Qingyu investigate the matter thoroughly, it will make her seem somewhat guilty.
But if she agrees, wouldn't that mean she's abusing the power the Emperor gave her?
This Li Qingyu is quite capable.
As expected, she is indeed the woman Yuwen Yao has taken a liking to.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingqin suddenly felt angry again.
"This must be Young Master Yan She?" Xie Lingqin was pondering when she saw Li Qingyu slowly walking over. She was wearing a purple-pink dress, and because she had just cried, her eyes were even more watery, her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and she was incredibly beautiful.
In comparison, although I am beautiful, I lack the gentleness of a woman and am too aloof.
With her mind at ease, Xie Lingqin met Li Qingyu's gaze with composure and said, "Indeed, hello Miss Li."
"I had heard of Young Master Yan before, and I also heard that the most popular restaurant in the capital, Tianxia Yiwei, is related to Young Master Yan. Now that I have met him, Young Master Yan is indeed outstanding and not like ordinary people."
Li Qingyu's words seemed flattering, but as she spoke, her beautiful, gentle eyes shifted slightly, and her gaze drifted lightly towards Xie Lingqin's ear.
Xie Lingqin seemed oblivious, and instead subtly glanced to the side, deliberately letting Li Qingyu see.
Of course she knew what Li Qingyu was looking at.
Li Qingyu is no simple woman, as Yuwen Yao had mentioned before. Therefore, compared to the past, she was even more careful to conceal herself before going out, just in case.
Since ancient times, girls have had their ears pierced when they are young, so it was one of the ways to distinguish between women and men.
However, Xie Lingqin was a secret agent in her previous life, so concealing her earlobe was just a trivial trick.
As for the Adam's apple...
By applying makeup and exploiting blind spots in people's vision, one can easily deceive others.
Therefore, when Xie Lingqin saw Li Qingyu look away with a hint of disappointment, she stepped forward to comfort her as if she hadn't noticed, "Miss Li, don't worry. I and Elder Dong have both seen it. Although the other party's methods are ruthless, with the Prefect of the Capital here, I believe that the real culprit will be caught soon."
“Young Master Yan is right.” Li Qingyu bowed slightly again before stepping back and walking toward the Minister.
The Minister would not allow his son to be exposed in public for too long, and would therefore request the Governor of the Capital to remove the body quickly.
