Luo Xuening's analysis was naturally reasonable. After hearing it, Long Moxun just frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and said in a calm voice.
"You are quite observant."
"Nothing, just women understanding women."
Luo Xuening's expression did not change, and she took off the bracelet from the female corpse. From beginning to end, there was no fear in her expression.
Although this was the first time that Long Moxun saw Luo Xuening studying a corpse, the corpse she was facing now was covered in blood, with pink flesh turned inside out, and looked extremely horrible.
Even though he was a grown man, he still felt a little nauseous seeing such a corpse. All thanks to Luo Xuening, he was able to observe the corpse for such a long time.
"Luoxue Ning, aren't you afraid?"
Long Moxun moved his steps slightly towards Luo Xuening and asked about his confusion.
“I’m not afraid.”
When she was in the criminal police team, she often followed the criminal police team abroad. She had seen more horrible corpses than this, so she was naturally not afraid, let alone...
"As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. What should I be afraid of?"
Long Moxun: “…” He is really frank.
Long Moxun called Wu over, and Luo Xuening handed the bracelet on the corpse to Wu. She frowned and said to Long Moxun.
"Your Majesty, I think the person who hired someone to kill me must be the real murderer of Lord Liu."
"Um."
Long Moxun responded lightly. He looked up and saw that it was getting late. In two hours, the three-day deadline given to him by the emperor would be up. He had to settle this case.
Originally, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion had already come out and confessed her guilt, so he only needed to close the case, and the murder of Liu Jing would come to an end. However, the situation has changed now.
"Luo Xue Ning, I will give you two hours to find the real murderer and bring him to the government office. After two hours, I will go to the palace to see the emperor."
Wu, who was standing behind Long Moxun, couldn't help but stiffen when he heard what the prince said. Prince, this was the first time he saw his prince breaking his plan for someone.
This Luo Xuening seems to be a little different from others?
Does this mean you are willing to give yourself a chance to find out the real murderer?
After being stunned for a moment, Luo Xuening thanked Long Moxun in a low voice.
In her previous life, she also worked in the criminal police team and was often under pressure from her superiors to close the case within a certain number of days. She was well aware of the pressure from Long Moxun at the moment, and she would not say anything. She could only find the real murderer and close the case within the time set by Long Moxun.
......
The Liu Mansion was detained, and the one who took the blame for the real murderer was the housekeeper's wife, Wang.
At this time, Liu stood trembling in front of Luo Xuening. She didn't know why, the woman in front of her had a young face, but her eyes were extremely mature. When her eyes fell on her, Wang felt as if her thoughts were completely seen through.
"Wang, how did you get the swallow grass in your room?"
"I bought it myself."
"How did you get in touch with the maid who poisoned Master Liu?"
"...I used a code word."
Hearing Luo Xuening's question, Wang's hands trembled noticeably and her expression flickered unnaturally.
"When do you usually contact her?"
"......night."
This time, Wang frowned and blinked her eyes continuously.
"What did you do on the day Mr. Liu was murdered?"
This time, Wang's hands and feet made extremely subtle movements. Her elbows and toes moved in the opposite direction of Luo Xuening at the same time. It was obvious that she was very resistant to this question.
"I...as usual, I asked Madam Liu's maid to do everything."
"You're lying."
"That day, you also did one thing. You asked someone to tell Lord Gu Hang in the wine shop that Liu Jing had withheld the military pay. You know Lord Gu is always impulsive. When he heard such a thing, he naturally became very excited and went to settle the score with Liu Jing. After Liu Jing had a fight with Gu Hang, the swallow grass poison in his body had already attacked his lungs and accelerated his death. Your purpose was to put the blame on Gu Hang for Liu Jing's death."
Wang's face looked a little ugly.
"However, you didn't expect that Prince Jing took over the case and found out that Liu Jing died of poisoning. You were afraid that your instigation of the maid to poison would be exposed, so you set a trap overnight and let the maid blame Madam Liu for Liu Jing's poisoning."
Wang's face became more and more ugly.
"But who would have thought that Prince Jing would discover your plan, and Madam Liu's suspicion was cleared. Your master was afraid that the truth would be revealed, so she secretly sent someone to pay off the huge gambling debt owed by your son, and her condition was that you would take the blame for her."
After Luo Xuening finished speaking, Wang's face had turned pale. She stared at the woman in front of her with squinting eyes. After a long while, she finally uttered a few weak words.
"You, you are wrong."
"Is it because I guessed your thoughts completely that you are in a hurry to deny it?"
Luo Xuening looked at Wang. She was not a person with strong psychological quality. Just a few words from her had overcome her psychological defenses. Denial was her instinct.
“…I don’t know anything.”
"You were in denial just now, but now you know nothing. You have been training with your master for so long, but it seems you haven't learned anything from her."
Wang was silent. Luo Xuening's question was so overwhelming that she could not cope with it. Silence was her best choice.
"If silence is useful, then bad guys don't have to speak anymore, right?"
Luo Xuening glanced at Wang, her eyes filled with sarcasm: "Actually, you didn't say it just to protect your master. Tell me, who is your master?"
Before this, Luo Xuening had already had a general understanding of the situation in the Liu Mansion, and the huge gambling debt owed by Wang's son was her pathfinder to conquer Wang's line of defense.
Wang remained silent, while Luo Xuening raised her voice and said, "The master behind you must be Madam Gu, right?"
When Wang heard the word "Madam", her whole body froze, as if she was in a trance. She lowered her head indifferently. It was obvious that she had something to hide. This Gu was indeed the person behind Wang.
Of course, she had evidence to support her judgment.
Previously, the bracelet she took off the body of the female killer had been confirmed to be the one that Gu bought in a jade shop half a month ago, and its quality was extremely good.
The store clerks all have an image and can quickly find out who the owner of the bracelet is.
Wang's son, who loved gambling, was also caught by Long Moxun's men. After investigation, he admitted that the gambling debts he had previously owed were paid off by the first lady, Gu.
Of course, these are only circumstantial evidence. The key things still need to start from Gu.
Luo Xue Ning ignored the lonely Wang. She turned around and said to Wu who was waiting behind her: "Wu, please ask the Madam to come in."
Long Moxun is a man of conscience. Before leaving, he left Wu by Luo Xuening's side. With Wu around, he represents Long Moxun. Who would dare not cooperate?
Even Gu had to think twice. After an incense stick of time, Gu finally appeared in front of Luo Xuening.
Today, Gu was wearing a plain and gorgeous dress. Over the dress, she wore a long gown with a hundred golden butterflies and flowers, and a golden eight-treasure bun on her head. She looked both noble and powerful.
However, from her clothes to her expression, there was nothing like that of a widow.
This Gu was not sad at all about Liu Jing's husband's death. Luo Xuening watched Gu walk in slowly and nodded calmly.
“When a criminal stands before you, you can recognize her.”
This sentence echoed in Luo Xuening's mind again. Yes, this Gu, even though she didn't use any Suhexiang at the moment, her well-maintained skin didn't look like a woman in her thirties at all. Her indifferent expression didn't show any vigilance, she was so calm as if she had nothing to do with the murder.
The criminal was different from what she had described before, but the more she tried to cover it up, the more she revealed herself.
Inside Luo Xuening's heart, there was a very strong voice saying, "Yes, she is the murderer."
Luo Xuening looked towards Gu, her eyes were indifferent, revealing a bit of alienation, yet firm.
"Mrs. Gu, where were you when Lord Liu was murdered?"
