Chapter 190: Disappointment, You Don’t Trust Me (Part 3)



Long Moxun looked at Luo Xuening with a straight gaze without any disguise.

He could not have imagined that it was Luo Xue Ning who rushed out at the critical moment. When he was suspected by the emperor and no one was willing to step forward to speak for him, it was Luo Xue Ning who stood up at such a critical moment.

Although she did not plead for Long Moxun directly, at this moment, her well-reasoned analysis made the emperor dispel his doubts.

Long Moxun has always been a proud and reserved person. He has always been alone. In this palace, he never makes friends with anyone and naturally, he doesn't expect help from others. But, Luo Xuening?

Long Moxun understood Luo Xue Ning. He knew how persistent this woman was about the truth. She chose to stand up, and it must be that it was only for her own sake. However, Long Moxun looked at Luo Xue Ning intently. She must not know that even if it was an unintentional action on his part, it still warmed his heart.

It was very rare for Long Moxun to express gratitude to others, but today, when he looked at Luo Xuening, there was some emotion in his eyes.

Luo Xue Ning, very good, just keep it up like this. I don’t ask for your support and help, but I hope you will never stand against my enemy.

Long Moxun looked at Luo Xuening with such a burning gaze that even the emperor felt a little impatient.

He glanced at Long Moxun warily, but saw that Long Moxun withdrew his gaze indifferently, as if he had never noticed Luo Xuening.

The emperor was relieved at this. The most taboo thing in the imperial family is emotional entanglements. As Prince Jing, Long Moxun can have many women he loves, but he absolutely cannot have only one favorite.

No matter whether Long Moxun becomes a prince or reaches a high position in the future, the current Emperor Nan Shao will never allow Long Moxun to mix personal emotions with his life.

Just now, the look in Long Moxun's eyes when he looked at Luo Xue Ning made Emperor Nan Shao unsure. He was even a little surprised. What kind of mentality did Long Moxun, Du Yu and Luo Xue Ning have?

The emperor was originally very dissatisfied with the interaction between Long Moxun and Luo Xuening. He looked at Long Moxun with a scrutinizing gaze, but saw that Long Moxun looked away indifferently, as if what he saw just now was just an illusion.

His expression was as indifferent as ever.

The emperor was slightly relieved. He thought carefully and found a perfect reason for Long Moxun's behavior.

Luo Xue Ning stepped forward voluntarily when Long Moxun was in danger. Her behavior can indeed be described as chivalrous and extremely just. Such a sentimental, righteous, and flesh-and-blood woman, doesn't even Emperor Nan Shao himself think highly of her?

Putting himself in other people's shoes, Emperor Nan Shao understood that Long Mo Xun had always been a person who loved talents, and he should have pure admiration for Luo Xuening, otherwise, he would not have personally asked for a reward for Luo Xuening.

If he really had other thoughts about Luo Xuening, how could he dare to do it so blatantly in front of her.

After figuring this out, Emperor Nan Shao suddenly felt more open-minded. He glanced at Luo Xuening indifferently, and unexpectedly, he discovered the weirdness of this case.

"Luo Xue Ning, I order you to investigate this case thoroughly. As for the footprints that appeared next to Master Yun's body, who did they belong to? Go ahead and investigate. If you need any cooperation, just tell me directly."

With the emperor's words, Luo Xuening felt much more relaxed in investigating the case.

Luo Xuening simply expressed her gratitude and calmly accepted the emperor's special treatment.

Emperor Nan Shao looked at her with a calm and composed demeanor, and his old eyes were filled with expectation. He hoped that Luo Xue Ning could find out the real murderer and clear his son's name.

Emperor Nan Shao knew that he owed Long Moxun too much.

Just now, because of the sudden appearance of the Xuanming Palm and the token that Long Moxun accidentally dropped, these two things made Emperor Nan Shao dizzy for a moment, and he lost his correct judgment and wrongly accused Long Moxun.

Thinking about it now, Emperor Nan Shao felt a little sorry for his son. He felt extremely guilty and naturally hoped that the truth would be revealed soon.

Everyone present was a shrewd person and could naturally tell from this that Emperor Nan Shao had changed his attitude towards Prince Jing. They knew that Emperor Nan Shao had always been particularly fond of Prince Jing, so they were not surprised by such a cover-up.

Since the Emperor of Nanshao wanted to investigate the case in detail, what else could they say? Naturally, they could only loudly praise the Emperor for his wisdom.

Emperor Nan Shao looked at him coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. These ministers were all good at changing their attitude according to the situation.

Apart from the ministers whose expressions changed instantly, there was another one whose face turned pale when he heard that new evidence had emerged.

This person is none other than the true owner of the footprint. He thought that he had been careful enough in this matter, but unexpectedly, he was still caught by someone and left a small footprint.

But he changed his mind and thought, could it be possible that Luo Xuening could really lock him down based on just a footprint?

After thinking for a while, this person concealed the fear in his eyes, frowned, stood still with his head held high, and he also wanted to pretend to be calm and indifferent like everyone else.

This way, he won't lose his balance.

Luo Xuening obeyed the order and scanned everyone present with an indifferent look.

The footprints next to Master Yun's body were most likely left by the murderer. If the murderer was among them, then he would definitely have some unusual behavior.

However, Luo Xue Ning obviously underestimated the murderer. His psychological quality was extremely good. Luo Xue Ning looked around and did not find that anyone had done anything out of line.

But it doesn't matter, she can still identify and analyze the murderer from the footprints left by the murderer.

Long before Luo Xuening worked as a criminal police, she encountered a case in which her team members also found footprints left by the murderer. They tried every possible means to investigate but could not find the answer. Finally, they invited a footprint identification expert to solve the case in the shortest time possible.

As the saying goes, every profession has its specialization.

Fortunately, Luo Xuening had learned a few tricks from the footprint identification expert in the past. Although they were only superficial, they could be used today.

At the beginning, Luo Xue Ning sent people to preserve those footprints. At this time, she carefully examined the footprints, and recalled the knowledge she had learned before.

"The footsteps are steady, the footsteps are slightly forward, and the soles are worn..."

Luo Xuening observed the footprints and squatted down. When she was working, she seemed to be completely immersed in it. She could not feel the changes in the outside world and entered a state of selflessness.

He seemed to have forgotten that this was Yu Garden and there were so many people watching her. However, Luoxue did not care whether her posture was elegant or not. She just wanted to tell what she had observed.

The censor took up his pen and took notes. Under Luo Xuening's strictness, he did not dare to relax at all.

Seeing him so focused, the people present were filled with awe.

"The footprints are long and wide, and the feet are strong when they rise and fall. There are tread marks under the footprints, and the depth varies. This person is about eight feet tall, a man. When he walks, his feet are turned outward."

Luo Xuening bent down, holding a tool in her hand, and measured the length and width of the footprints. She did it very seriously, even though what she downloaded and did puzzled everyone.

Even the coroner was surprised. He had been a coroner for many years, but he had never thought that so many things could be determined from a footprint.

How on earth did this woman acquire all this knowledge? It's simply something to be envied and admired.

Luo Xuening didn't know that the people outside were so surprised by her actions that they couldn't close their mouths. She just frowned, her eyes full of contemplation.

"There are several footprints here, some deep and some shallow. You can tell that the owner of the footprints first came from here, then squatted down and came in front of Miss Yun."

As Luo Xuening spoke, she followed the footprints. In her mind, she recalled the scene of the crime. The murderer came from a path under the garden and then squatted next to the body. When he squatted, the force on his feet changed, and the footprints would also be different.

Luo Xue Ning concealed this action countless times. People only saw Luo Xue Ning walking, squatting, walking, and squatting over and over again. The repetitive action looked particularly strange.

But Luo Xue Ning's eyes were tight and her brows were tightly wrinkled. Her tense expression was unusually solemn. Even if her movements were weird, they couldn't make people laugh.

Everyone stared at her in a daze, not daring to disturb her, and feeling awe in their hearts.

Suddenly, Luo Xuening stood up from the ground. Her eyes looked around, lingering on each person and nodding silently. She had already made a basic judgment in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I have a request. I hope Your Majesty can allow the men present to walk in front of me."

"What?"

When this request was made, Emperor Nan Shao's eyebrows twitched and the corners of his lips twitched unconsciously.

He must have heard it wrong. He just said that he would do his best to cooperate with Luo Xuening in investigating the case, but she turned around and made such a rude request.

All the men present had to walk in front of her. Luo Xuening, what did she regard his ministers and his guards as?

Goods? Compare prices in front of her.

How could this woman be so bold and presumptuous?

Emperor Nan Shao looked unhappy, and the people present, especially the men, looked even gloomier. Prime Minister Luo glared at his daughter fiercely. Although he knew that Luo Xue Ning was not being unreasonable, such a request was really too rude.

"Ning'er, stop messing around."

Prime Minister Luo shouted angrily and stepped forward to grab his daughter, but Luo Xuening remained neither humble nor arrogant, and turned to face Emperor Nan Shao. Her indifferent eyes were clear and firm.

It makes those who have wrong thoughts feel embarrassed.

Have I wronged her?

"Your Majesty, footprints reflect a person's walking habits and some basic information. However, based on the footprints left at the scene, I have no way to completely determine the owner of the footprints. However, when they walk, their whereabouts and habits will be exposed. I am not making trouble for no reason, but it is necessary for the investigation. If Your Majesty thinks this method is not good, I will find another way to find the owner of the footprints."

Luo Xuening spread her hands, looking helpless, with a look of innocence in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Nan Shao just blinked uncomfortably: "What else can you do?"

"It's just comparing the shoe prints of the people present with the footprints left behind. Although it's a bit slow, it's still possible to find out the owner of the footprints."
