Chapter 14: Bad Talk



Long Moxun calculated the time very accurately. Two hours later, Aunt Ye's birthday party was over, and Long Moxun himself, along with his guards, was waiting in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion with Gu Shuchang.

At that time, Luo Xue Ning was smilingly calculating how much gift Prime Minister Luo would give to Ye on her birthday. As a daughter, Luo Xue Ning was really happy for her aunt.

After all, the gifts that Prime Minister Luo gave to Concubine Ye every year were all precious and exquisite things, which was enough to show that Prime Minister Luo placed all his heart on Concubine Ye.

"Haha, Prime Minister Luo, you really dote on your wife. I'm rooting for you."

Long Moxun and the other two were confused. Gu Shuchang couldn't help but ask, "Prince, what does 'da kuan' mean?"

Long Moxun rolled his eyes at him impatiently, then moved and descended from the courtyard wall.

Seeing the three people, the smile on Luo Xuening's face immediately disappeared, and she said with a stern face: "Let's go."

It was obvious that she didn't want to say any more words to them. She just rubbed her nose awkwardly. In this world, only Luo Xue Ning dared to ignore her own prince like this.

Officials, Liu Jing's body was carefully guarded, even at night.

During the day, there are even more people guarding the bodies.

It's funny to say that the emperor wanted Long Moxun to investigate this case, but he never gave any order, so Long Moxun could only do all this secretly.

Liu Jing's death involves many interests behind the scenes, not only the Liu family, but also the Gu family.

Long Moxun glanced at Gu Shuchang, and saw that Gu Shuchang understood what he meant and stepped forward. He swept his palm with a neat move. The move was simple but powerful. After a while, he drove away several guards who were guarding the corpse.

Luo Xuening looked at the neat moves and couldn't help but think of her own three-legged cat kung fu.

Although she was good at close combat, in this world where martial arts rely on internal strength, her skills were really not enough in front of Gu Shuchang.

But she actually brazenly shouted in front of Gu Shuchang and beat him every time she saw him from then on.

I was sweating profusely, and it was obvious that I was the one who was beaten badly.

It turned out that Gu Shuchang gave in to her that time.

"Heh, take this opportunity, Miss Luo can see if she still has the ability to be arrogant."

A light and floating voice came from behind, making Luo Xuening clench her fists. Yes, she was ashamed of herself, but this man, could he please not be so mean.

"Prince Jing, I think that as a noble prince, some things are better kept in mind than spoken out loud."

"If I don't tell you, I'm afraid your brain won't understand it."

Luo Xue Ning: "..." Damn, you are so stupid.

Luo Xue Ning smiled with her face but her heart was actually despising Lord Jing, saying that he talked too much and no wonder he had been single for so long.

"Are you going soon?"

Long Moxun knew from the look on Luo Xue Ning's face that she was up to no good. He looked coldly in Gu Shuchang's direction and was too lazy to even give Luo Xue Ning an expression.

Luo Xuening took a step forward and walked towards Liu Jing's body. Without any hesitation or fear, she blatantly lifted the white cloth covering Liu Jing's body.

A gust of cold wind blew by, giving people goosebumps all over their bodies. At this moment, Liu Jing's body appeared in front of everyone, with a hideous face and a strong stench.

"Ah, there's a ghost!"

Gu Shuchang let out a loud yell and quickly shrank behind Long Moxun. He stared at Liu Jing's body, as if Liu Jing would explode in the next second.

Gu Shuchang, he is really afraid of ghosts.

Luo Xue Ning looked at Gu Shuchang with some amusement. In her eyes, Gu Shuchang was a typical strong man with a strong body and tough appearance, just like a general should look.

It stands to reason that a general, who is daring in killing and has a lot of blood on his hands, naturally does not believe in matters of gods and ghosts. However, unexpectedly, he was afraid of becoming like this.

If it was said that Prince Jing was afraid, Luo Xuening would still think it was understandable, because their Prince Jing was tall and thin, and his face was very pale under the moonlight. Well, if there really were ghosts, she thought that Prince Jing looked more like a ghost.

But Gu Shuchang's reaction really surprised Luo Xuening.

Luo Xue Ning smiled faintly and said, "What are you afraid of? Prince Jing is not afraid either."

Long Moxun glanced at her coldly. This woman was provoking him again.

Luo Xue Ning stopped talking. She and Prince Jing had magnetic conflicts. Anyway, she was always a calm person. She always disliked Prince Jing, but she would not really provoke him to get angry and do something cruel to her.

Luo Xuening had a balance in her mind, which was to make Prince Jing unhappy but not make him so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Looking at Liu Jing's body again, Luo Xuening calmed down and analyzed it carefully. At this moment, she tensed her nerves. Facing the victim, she always kept the state of working in the police station.

"The body was in a state of stiffness, and the time of death was probably within three to seven days. There was blood on the body, the clothes were torn, and there were scratches on the back of the hands, which showed that the body had fought with someone before death. There was a purple mark on the neck of the body, so the body must have been strangled before death, but he did not die of suffocation."

Luo Xuening is not a professional forensic doctor, but in order to solve cases, she has also learned some knowledge about autopsy, and all of this is based on her inferences.

There was a flash of admiration in Long Moxun's eyes, and Gu Shuchang was also stunned after listening to Luo Xuening's analysis. For a moment, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and had long forgotten how scared he was just now.

"What you said, the coroner has already experienced, this is not what I want."

However, Long Moxun's praise only lasted for a moment. When he spoke again, his tone was still indifferent and nonchalant, as if everything he did was just as he should be.

Luo Xuening glanced at him impatiently and continued to ask, "What did your coroner find out? Did he say what caused the death of this body?"

Long Moxun looked at Luo Xue Ning suspiciously. The determination in Luo Xue Ning's eyes at this moment made him conclude that Luo Xue Ning had made a new discovery.

"Do you know the cause of his death?"

"The body was beaten to death." Luo Xuening said calmly, but Long Moxun deliberately dispelled her confidence.

"Anyone with eyes can see this."

Long Moxun doesn't talk much normally, but when facing Luo Xuening, he just can't help but want to hit her. These two people are naturally incompatible.

"However, this is only an appearance."

Luo Xuening shook her head, ignored Long Moxun, and continued to observe the corpse.

"The body's lips were blue and black. I guess he was poisoned before he died. After being poisoned, he was strangled and brutally beaten to death."

"Are you sure?"

As soon as Luo Xuening finished speaking, she felt the air pressure around her suddenly drop by several degrees. However, she saw Long Moxun had already come to the corpse. He observed the corpse carefully, with his brows tightly furrowed.

Luo Xuening had already concluded from these two encounters that Long Moxun was a sensitive and suspicious person who only believed in himself. She was too lazy to explain further and just let Long Moxun observe for himself.

After a long while, Long Moxun slowly spoke: "Wu, go check how Liu Jing was poisoned before his death."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu accepted the order and looked at Luo Xuening with some fear. This woman was really amazing. She discovered the problem in a short time. Their coroner did not come to such a conclusion.

"My Lord, now that I have finished looking at the corpse, can I go home now?"

Luo Xue Ning looked at the receding figure and the tension in Long Mo Xun and Gu Shu Chang's eyes. She realized that this matter was not simple and she didn't want to get involved anymore.

However, Long Moxun had just discovered a treasure, so how could he bear to let her go? He still wanted to rely on her to help him solve this mystery.

Long Moxun did not answer. Instead, Gu Shuchang excitedly grabbed Luo Xuening's hand and said, "Xuening, you are right. You are good at this, right? Please help my father. He needs justice."

There was hope in Gu Shuchang's eyes. Liu Jing was murdered and all the evidence pointed to his father Gu Hang. The only person he could trust now was Luo Xuening.
