At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. After Luo Xuening left, Long Moxun found a tavern and sat in a corner, as if he was isolated from the people who were inseparable from the tavern.
"Is it resolved?"
"Yes, Prime Minister Luo has returned."
After the guard learned what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he found an excuse and informed Prime Minister Luo to go home early. From then on, his mission was completed.
The guard thought about it and decided to swallow back the words that Miss Luo was too tough. Now he saw that the prince was quite concerned about Miss Luo. If he tried to flatter Miss Luo in front of the prince, Miss Luo would probably complain to him.
The guard thought about Guard Wu who was still staying in the stable, and silently decided to be a quiet handsome man, seeing through things but not saying anything.
Long Moxun didn't ask any more questions, but just glanced at the person who came with an indifferent look.
"My Lord, where is Miss Luo?"
The person who came was Fang Jinyu, but Long Moxun didn't think that Fang Jinyu came to see him.
"She said that there was something urgent going on at home, so she left first."
Long Moxun lied without blushing or beating his heart. When Luo Xuening heard the news that someone had died in the mansion, she turned around and left. Would she tell Long Moxun so much?
The guard looked at his prince who was a habitual liar and said silently in his heart, "Prince, face is a good thing, please have some."
Fortunately, Fang Jinyu did not doubt that what he said was false. He said "oh" and turned away. This attitude deeply hurt Prince Jing's sensitive heart.
This person dared to question Luo Xuening in front of me. Who gave him the courage?
"Master Fang, I heard that there are still a few unsolved cases in the Six Gates. Master Fang seems to be very free."
Fang Jinyu is in charge of the Six Gates, but he still has several cases on his hands that have been handed down from the previous head of the Six Gates. Now, the emperor is getting anxious and has ordered the Six Gates to close the case within three months.
Long Moxun doesn't care when Fang Jinyu can solve the unsolved case. He just wants to use this incident to annoy Fang Jinyu.
The guards lowered their heads involuntarily after listening to their prince's words. People always said that their prince never showed his emotions, but now... the prince probably thought that others couldn't see through his little tricks.
Isn't it just that you are dissatisfied with the closeness between Lord Fang and Miss Luo? Is it necessary to lower yourself like this to annoy others? It's heartbreaking.
Fang Jinyu could already sense Lord Jing's hostility when he heard this. His handsome face smiled gently, but his tone was unyielding.
"That's why I came to see Miss Luo. With her around, I believe these unsolved cases will be solved quickly."
"She's not one to selflessly help others."
Long Moxun was right that anyone who worked for him could negotiate a deal.
"Of course. The Six Gates never lacks talented people."
"You want her to enter the Six Gates?"
Long Moxun asked intently, although it is said that the Six Gates is an institution independent of the Six Ministries, the Emperor has never been involved in the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the Six Gates, and has always allowed talented people to take up the posts.
"The Six Gates recruit talented people. I think Miss Luo meets the requirements."
Fang Jinyu's smile was flawless. Although, when he first approached Luo Xuening, he simply thought that she was very interesting. But now, after seeing Luo Xuening's abilities, he really wanted Luo Xuening to join his team.
"You didn't investigate the situation beforehand. Do you think Luo Xuening could still enter the Six Gates in her current situation?"
Yes, Long Moxun was very scheming. Before this, he had revealed the relationship between the Fang family and the Gu family to Luo Xuening. Given the feud between Luo Xuening and the Gu family, it would be strange for her to get close to the Fang family.
"Your Majesty, the Six Gates handle public affairs and have nothing to do with private matters. Miss Luo and I are both people who clearly distinguish between public and private matters, and we will not fall out because of the Gu family."
"Separate public and private affairs?"
Long Moxun sneered. Fang Jinyu really overestimated Luo Xuening. It was obvious that she was doing things based on her emotions.
"Yes, she is now indeed helping me in the name of public office."
In other words, she would not enter the Six Gates and work with Fang Jinyu.
Fang Jinyu: "......" Why does this sound so much like bragging? You are a prince after all, so could you please have a little bit of the integrity of a prince?
Although the two of them remained polite on the surface during their conversation, there was a strong smell of gunpowder in their tone. Fang Jinyu glanced indifferently at this prince who was different from the legendary devil, and she still felt that she should maintain basic respect for him.
However, as soon as the two fell silent, the originally quiet restaurant suddenly became noisy. There was only a sound, and then a railing fell down, landing right in front of Long Moxun, separated by only a wall.
Then, he turned back into a figure and fell straight to the ground in front of Long Moxun and Fang Jinyu.
Because, the seat where Long Moxun was sitting was in the corner, next to the window. When the person fell from the second floor, he felt that the person looked familiar the moment he hit the ground. However, he was one step too late and could not catch the person.
They only saw the man fall heavily to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, his eyes wide open with fear, and his body bounced twice on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
Until they saw the person fallen to the ground and died through the open window, Long Moxun and Fang Jinyu were both shocked.
This person is the second son of Marquis Zhongyong, Wang Chun.
At this moment, a group of people hurried down from upstairs. One of them had a panicked expression. He ran to Wang Chun's body, half-knelt, and looked extremely sad.
"Someone come quickly, the Prince of An has killed someone, the Prince of An has killed someone."
I don't know who shouted from the back, but the whole restaurant was suddenly drowned out by the sound of Prince An's son killing someone.
Fang Jinyu frowned. This case involved not only the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, but also the Prince of An County Mansion. He stood up, squeezed through the crowd, looked at the panicked Prince of An County, then squatted down and checked Wang Chun's breath.
"He's dead."
Fang Jinyu whispered something, and Prince An's face turned pale instantly, and even his pale lips were trembling.
Fang Jinyu ignored the Prince of An and continued, "The body died directly from brain damage. There were traces of heavy bleeding on the body. The side that touched the ground was severely damaged and had slight fractures. So, the body fell from a high altitude."
Falling from a high altitude means that there is no possibility that the body was dumped after death. If the body was not caused by an accident or suicide, then the Prince of Anjun in front of him is a great suspect of murder.
"Prince An, please tell us about the situation at that time."
Facing the case, Fang Jinyu had lost his gentleness and elegance. His solemn expression gave people an invisible sense of pressure.
"We were both drunk at the time, so we stood on the balcony to sober up. We just had a quarrel, but I didn't push him, so how did he die?"
The Prince of Anjun did smell of alcohol, and the corpse also smelled of alcohol, but the smell was a little lighter. If the corpse fell to death due to drunkenness, Fang Jinyu glanced at the half-person-high railing on the balcony. That was impossible, unless someone pushed it.
Fang Jinyu turned to look at the others: "What did you see?"
However, the rest of the people could not agree with the Prince of An. Their testimonies were consistent and pointed to the Prince of An.
"We saw that the Prince of An County had a big argument with Wang Chun and pushed him."
The Prince of An County stood up excitedly at once. He was indeed a little tipsy at the time, but that didn't mean he was completely drunk and unconscious. He couldn't even remember whether he pushed the person or not.
"You are talking nonsense. I didn't push him."
The Prince of Anjun shouted, his eyebrows raised, his eyes widened, he turned and looked at those who accused him, with anger in his eyes.
Fang Jinyu frowned slightly. He remembered Luo Xuening saying that the micro-expressions of a person in a moment are the most difficult to capture, but are the easiest to reflect the inner thoughts.
At this moment, the expression of the Prince of Anjun did not seem like he was lying, but Fang Jinyu was not Luo Xuening. Luo Xuening could analyze people based on their behavior and expressions, but Fang Jinyu could not. What he was looking for was evidence.
He will not lean towards either side until there is sufficient evidence.
"Come here, seal off the scene. Everyone else, take them away and have each of them hand in a statement."
These people have different statements, but it is obvious that the Prince of An is already a suspect. Fang Jinyu's move is just to ensure that everyone's statements are consistent.
At this time, Prince An was biting his lower lip tightly, his eyes fixed on Fang Jinyu, staring at his every move.
He didn't want to be considered a murderer, but it was clear that no one here would believe him.
Prince An's eyes swept around and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Brother Prince Jing, please tell them for me that I really didn't push the person."
