Luo Xuening went in and had a small cup of tea in her time. She was in no hurry. In the forest, she not only checked the condition of the body, but also checked the area for any traces of the fugitive.
Long Moxun and Fang Jinyu, who were waiting outside the woods, looked straight ahead, but inadvertently exuded a threatening aura, as if to warn their opponents not to act rashly.
Of course, the two who were immersed in the competition did not think that their actions at this time were childish, but it was hard for the servants around them.
He inadvertently received the hostility emanating from his master, and couldn't help but shudder.
Master, we are very obedient. Please don't shoot us from behind. We can't afford to get hurt.
After a cup of tea, Luo Xuening finally came out. She looked very ugly with her eyebrows drooped, which made everyone feel chilled.
"Are you okay?"
Fang Jingyu took the lead and stepped forward, asking worriedly, while his hand gently patted Luo Xuening's shoulder to comfort her.
That intimate gesture made Long Moxun dumbfounded. He couldn't explain why he felt angry, but he just didn't like Fang Jinyu's hand.
Of course, it's not just Long Moxun that's annoying, but also his loyal Dark Guard.
When Jing saw that Fang Jinyu actually attacked his goddess, he was so angry that he was about to climb down from the tree, sharpening his knife and attacking Fang Jinyu's perverted hand.
"Calm down, calm down, you are a dark guard."
Fortunately, his companions held Jing down in time and avoided a tragedy. Jing's mouth twitched and he looked at his companions as if they were fools.
How stupid are you to think that I have to rush out to hit his hand? I am a master of hidden weapons. Once I throw out my flying knife, Fang Jinyu's filthy hand will have nowhere to escape.
"Little Li's Flying Dagger", no, An Weijing held a sharp blade to his mouth, his eyes fixed on Fang Jinyu's hand that fell on Luo Xuening's shoulder, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
As the flying knife came out, An Weijing looked down at Fang Jingyu from his perch on the tree and gave him a thumbs down.
Jing nodded, watching the flying knife pointing directly at Fang Jingyu. He was about to hear Fang Jingyu scream, when he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
By the time he saw the extra person beside Fang Jinyu, Jing had already lost more than half of his soul.
Oh my God, when did the prince arrive? No, that’s not right. The prince arrived right in front of Fang Jinyu. So the first person to be injured by the flying knife that I just shot was my own prince.
Jing covered his mouth in great pain, his eyes widened, and he felt that his world had collapsed. How could he have hurt his own parents who provided him with food and clothing?
Master, please go away, I didn't mean it.
An Weijing screamed in his heart and jumped on the tree like a squirrel. His companions looked at the squirrel jumping on the treetop as if they were fools.
Did he really think that his few hidden weapons could hurt his own prince?
Brains are a good thing, I wish you had some.
Long Moxun, who was standing under the tree, had already known about the stupid behavior of his secret guard. He even raised his eyebrows and raised his hand. The flying knife returned along its original path and shot straight towards Jing on the treetop.
It's time to teach this secret guard a lesson, otherwise he always adds so much drama to himself for no reason.
He is a secret guard, supposedly someone working behind the scenes, so how come he suddenly jumped to the front?
The flying knife came straight at Jing, and he dodged in a hurry. His movement was so big that it startled the birds, and the knife hit Jing's sleeve right on top, pinning Jing and the sleeve to the top of the tree, looking very dangerous.
Master, how could you be so cruel to me?
The secret guards looked at Jing with sympathy and said, "Master, why didn't you shoot him out of the secret guard camp with a flying knife?"
Being associated with such people has seriously lowered the standard of our secret guards in Prince Jing's Mansion.
"If I remember correctly, Lord Fang seemed to have personally carried the body down from the tree. I wonder if Lord Fang washed it with taboo water?"
The reason why he held the body in his arms was because Fang Jinyu was worried that if he put the body down directly, it would cause damage to the body and affect their judgment.
His dedicated behavior became an embarrassment to Long Moxun, and Fang Jinyu could only smile awkwardly.
When Long Moxun said this, his face was calm. Although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, could he do something as childish as Jing?
Of course not, but Long Moxun seemed to have forgotten that his current actions were full of sourness.
However, Fang Jingyu, who was even more indifferent than Long Moxun, simply removed his hands from Luo Xuening's shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've got gloves on."
From beginning to end, Luo Xuening didn't sense anything wrong with Fang Jinyu.
"..." Insidious
Long Moxun gritted his teeth, and even the secret guards on the treetops made a few "tsk" sounds, expressing their disdain for Fang Jinyu.
However, Fang Jinyu couldn't hear these. Of course, even if he could hear them, he would just ignore them.
"Your Highness, Lord Fang, when I examined the body just now, I made some new discoveries."
Luo Xuening's mood had eased a little at this time, but as soon as she thought of the tragic scene on the corpse, she wished she could beat the perpetrator to pieces.
"The deceased had been severely assaulted before his death. And judging from the marks left by the assailants, there must have been more than one assailant."
Luoxue frowned and looked leisurely into the woods.
"The deceased had signs of being assaulted by multiple people, but the signs left by one of them were particularly suspicious."
Luo Xuening led Long Moxun and Fang Jinyu towards the body of the deceased. She gently opened the collar of the deceased, revealing his neck.
It turned out that the deceased's neck not only had marks from being strangled by being hung from the tree, but also had marks from being pinched by someone at the neck.
It's just that the marks left by pinching were very small. Due to the special status of the deceased, the two coroners did not dare to do anything indecent to the deceased when they performed the autopsy just now. Therefore, they did not notice these tiny details.
This is why Long Moxun insisted on letting Luo Xuening examine the corpse, because he knew that Luo Xuening would always make some new discoveries.
Her professionalism may not be comparable to that of a coroner, but she is able to sensitively perceive the key points of the case.
These discoveries require not only keen intuition but also sufficient experience.
Long Moxun knew that Luo Xuening was not as she appeared to be, just a lady from a noble family who lived in peace with the world, but he tacitly chose to trust her.
"The pinch marks are very thin and don't look like those on a normal man's hand, so I think the last attacker must be a dwarf."
Long Moxun stared at the pinch marks on the body of the deceased. He didn't understand: "What is a dwarf?"
"Dwarfism is a disease caused by a lack of certain growth factors, resulting in short stature. The body development of these patients will stop at adolescence. This person should be around 30 years old, but he is short, and his height should be about the same as that of a teenager. Such people can easily hide in the crowd. However, I have another discovery that can help us find him."
Luo Xue stared at something shiny in the light. She took out a pill that had not yet completely melted and wrapped it in her handkerchief. She lowered her brows, sorted out her thoughts, and then spoke.
"We found this in the body of the deceased. This kind of pill is usually sold in pharmacies. Following this clue, we can find this person."
Luo Xuening stared at the pill with red face. Although she was trying to solve a case, it was the first time for her to discuss such a sensitive issue with two men.
Fortunately, compared to Fang Jinyu's face that turned red and white, Lord Jing was so calm. Luo Xuening felt that Lord Jing was the most helpful at the critical moment. Luo Xuening silently admired Lord Jing in her heart.
"This is the medicine the deceased took before he died?"
Under Luo Xuening's stunned gaze, Long Moxun reached out and took the pill in his hand.
Then, he saw Luoxue's mouth, which was wide enough to fit a big egg, and Fang Jinyu's forced smile.
Suddenly, Long Moxun's ears turned red, and all the words that Luo Xuening hadn't said clearly exploded in his mind like a firework.
As for the pill in his hand, Long Moxun was really trying hard not to crush it.
It's just that it would be a pity to crush it, but holding it in my hand would make me feel disgusted.
Long Moxun said that he had never been so embarrassed before, Luo Xuening, you are really something.
"Luoxue Ning!"
Long Moxun roared loudly, causing Luo Xuening to shake her shoulders.
Oh my god, the prince is really angry.
