Chapter 88 Let Me Give It a Try



"I don't know. I don't know anything! Please, don't ask me."

Li Si's weak attitude was beyond Luo Xue Ning's expectation. Looking at his current state, he seemed to be a little afraid of Wang Wu. It seemed that Luo Xue Ning was not wrong.

Li Si not only took away the deceased's belongings after his death, but he also most likely witnessed the entire process of the murder with his own eyes.

"How did He die? The murderer strangled her with a thin rope. Was she in great pain when she died?"

The eyes that could pry into people's hearts looked at Li Si dimly. Even though Li Si had no love for the deceased He, seeing his lover being brutally murdered with his own eyes, Luo Xuening thought that the scene would be an eternal nightmare in Li Si's heart.

This nightmare has been lingering in Li Si's mind. She tried to struggle and escape, but she was still trapped there.

"You didn't see the front of the murderer, so the murderer may or may not have found you in the end, and you were lucky to escape, but have you ever thought that after what happened today, as long as Wang Wu doesn't confess, he will be a danger to you. When you dream at night, have you ever dreamed that you were brutally killed by the murderer in the same way?"

Luo Xuening's voice was clearly very soft, but every word struck Li Si's heart hard. He was panicked and extremely terrified.

In the grass-covered house, Li Si struggled to stand up and grabbed Luo Xuening's hand as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Save me, save me..."

"No"

Luo Xue Ning suddenly shook off Li Si's hand, but stared at Li Si with cold eyes.

"The only one who can save you is yourself."

"No, I said, I said, I'll tell you everything."

According to Li Si's description, Luo Xue Ning finally restored the scene of that day. On that dark and windy night, the murderer strangled the deceased with a thin rope and searched for things in the deceased's house. He seemed very anxious. However, perhaps He hid the things, or perhaps the murderer simply looked in the wrong place, and he did not find anything valuable.

Later, after the murderer left, within half an hour, he brought a brazier, placed the victim's body next to the bed, and then roasted it with fire. This is why the time of death found by the coroner on the body was earlier than the actual time of death of the victim.

"So when did the deceased die?"

"It seems like, about half a month ago."

Li Si recalled what happened that day, it was like a nightmare, his cheeks turned pale, and all the energy and spirit was gone from his handsome face. He just stared at Luo Xue Ning with resentment in his eyes.

Luo Xuening stared intently. It turned out that He's death happened half a month ago. So, his appearance was most likely to cover up the twelfth case of the secret room murder.

Luo Xuening felt that with the same modus operandi and the same unfathomable murderer, this case must be related to the closed room murder case.

"Wait, you said that the murderer came back alone? He didn't have any help."

"Yes, he did it all by himself. He lit the candles by himself. It looked very strange at night."

This Li Si was still afraid of the murderer, and his eyes were evasive when he mentioned him.

"But according to what you said, half an hour had passed since the murderer left. Why didn't you just leave and instead stayed there?"

Li Si suddenly frowned, as if he was trying hard to recall the strange things that happened that night.

"Because it was the first time for me to experience such a scene. At that time, my feet were already unable to move due to fear. I could only watch her being killed. However..."

Li Si suddenly paused, he looked at Luo Xuening with wide eyes: "I seem to see..."

Li Si's eyes suddenly widened, his hand trembling as he pointed at Luo Xuening, his mouth wide open, stammering: "You, you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Luo Xue Ning looked at his confused face, and then saw Li Si in front of her suddenly spit out blood, his head drooped heavily, and in a moment, he was no longer alive.

Luo Xue Ning tried to rescue her, but Li Si closed his eyes, and his bloody hands were still tightly grasping Luo Xue Ning's clothes, staining the white dress red.

What kind of move is this? It's a fatal blow. It's so fast.

The point is, she had no idea how Li Si died, and she had no idea what a powerful person the person behind her was.

"Miss Luo, what's wrong?"

Dark Guard Jing rushed in at the first moment, but he was also shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

Li Si, who was full of energy just now, now fell in a pool of blood. His body was covered with bright red blood. The murderer watched the witness being killed right under his nose.

An Weijing turned around and rushed out like a falcon. He could not tolerate such a serious mistake in his supervision, so he wanted to go and fix it.

And who exactly is the person who did this? His strength is far superior to his own. What's more, he might even be stronger than the king. Such a scary person is standing against them. How scary.

"My Lord, he is dead."

Hearing the noise, Long Moxun strode in with a frosty look on his face. A witness was killed right under the noses of the secret guards. This was a slap in the face for Long Moxun.

Luo Xue Ning looked at him and always felt that Long Mo Xun would fly into a rage in the next second. After all, this master had a bad temper. Moreover, Luo Xue Ning had seen with her own eyes how Long Mo Xun punished servants who did not do their job well, and she did not want to be sent to clean the stables.

I could only lower my head in disappointment.

"Are you okay?"

Long Moxun's unexpected concern made Luo Xuening's heart tremble, like a breeze blowing past.

Perhaps it was because it was rare to see such a gentle side of Long Moxun, Luo Xuening stared at the sky in a daze, with an expression as if she had seen a ghost on her innocent face.

Long Moxun frowned. What kind of look was that? He cared about her, but he was not happy?

Long Moxun frowned, and there was a kind of self-care attitude in his cold eyes, which made Luo Xuening stick out her tongue.

"Li Si was killed, but the killer ran very fast. Jing has already chased him, but I don't think she can catch him."

"What did he say?"

"He told me the circumstances of the crime, but he seemed to be about to reveal a big news to me at the end, but at that moment the murderer struck."

After hearing this, Long Moxun said in a gloomy voice: "That's really strange, why didn't the murderer kill you as well?"

Luo Xuening: “…mutually.” Why didn’t he just kill you directly?

"He may be afraid that the prince owes too many lives."

"Forget it, the person is already dead, let's go check on Wang Wu's progress."

As soon as Long Moxun finished speaking, a secret guard came forward and reported: "Prince, there is a trap set up in Wang Wu's house. Our people can't get in."

With these words, Long Moxun's suppressed anger suddenly rose: "You have worked so hard for so long, but you can't even get in the door. When did my secret guards become so useless?"

They knelt in a row, their heads lowered, their eyes filled with guilt: "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

When problems arise, they first look for the reasons in themselves, but they underestimate the saying that every profession has its own specialization.

The secret guards are highly skilled in martial arts, and are good at tracking and anti-tracking. In modern times, they are reconnaissance elites. However, leaving tasks like cracking mechanisms to these experts is a waste of talent.

"My Lord, please let me go and take a look."

Long Moxun looked at the sparkling look in Luo Xuening's eyes and nodded heavily. The determination and belief in her eyes always made him believe her inexplicably.
