Before he could speak, Chunhua said, "Sister Lei, can you help Teacher Yue?"
Wen Yu's heart sank when she heard this: "What on earth happened?"
Uncle Jin saw that Wen Yu's worry did not seem fake, but thinking of what Yue Lingfeng had said before he left, he still felt hesitant.
"Ms. Lei, is that right? Is Mr. Yue really your fiancé?"
Wen Yu's gaze fell on Uncle Ajin and she quickly realized that all the neighbors in Sancong Hutong were led by him.
Although she still didn't know what had happened, Yue Lingfeng should be safe now, so she could put her mind at ease for the time being.
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Why, I don't think you and Yue Lingfeng are a good match?"
Uncle Ajin was stunned, his eyes fell on the faint smile under Wen Yu's veil, and he was speechless for a moment. It's not that they don't look alike, they are simply a match made in heaven.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wen Yu asked again: "Could it be that Yue Lingfeng has someone else outside without telling me? Is that why you doubt my identity?"
Chunhua was anxious when she heard this and defended Yue Lingfeng, "No, Sister Lei, Teacher Yue only has you in his heart and eyes. He even drew many portraits of you. Otherwise, how could I recognize you and take the initiative to speak?"
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows. There were many portraits of her? How come she had never seen them before?
After hearing what Chunhua said, Uncle Jin was already certain in his heart. He let out a breath and said, "Miss Lei, don't blame us for not believing you just now. It was Master Yue who told us not to tell anyone that we saved him, including the government, when he left."
Wen Yu's eyes paused when she heard this.
Government?
"Tell me, what happened?"
Uncle Jin nodded and explained everything in detail.
"That's the thing. We don't know where Master Yue has gone now."
After hearing this, Wen Yu frowned. She glanced at the busy constables. Unlike ordinary people who use water to put out fires, they used sand.
Due to limited sand and soil, Yue Lingfeng's house burned badly and was obviously beyond saving, so the detectives focused on using sand to create a fire isolation zone to prevent it from affecting the houses on both sides.
What does this mean? It means that the fire cannot be put out with water.
Under what circumstances can water not extinguish a fire?
Firefighting common sense says that water is not a panacea for fire extinguishing. Fires caused by oil cannot be extinguished with water, otherwise the fire will expand and spread faster.
When Wen Yu thought of this, she already had a plan in mind.
She asked in a deep voice: "You mean, when you went in, they were both unconscious, and they woke up only after you poured two buckets of water on them?"
"Yes, Master Yue asked us not to tell anyone after he woke up. In fact, we all know that Master Yue is in trouble, and they are afraid that it will implicate us."
Wen Yu lowered her eyes and said nothing after hearing this. After a moment, she asked emphatically, "Did he specifically ask not to tell the authorities?"
Uncle Jin nodded.
"Who was the first person to see him and his friends going home? When did they see him?"
Neighbor Ayun said: "When I saw them, it was almost dark, and I even greeted Master Yue."
Wen Yu asked again: "Did you notice their expressions?"
"Expression?" Ah Yun was somewhat puzzled, and then said in embarrassment, "What is expression? Well, I don't have much education..."
Wen Yu showed no impatience at all, but guided them patiently: "Demeanor refers to their facial expressions, looks and postures. Is there any difference from what you usually see?"
Ah Yun thought about it carefully and said, "Master Yue looked no different than usual. He was always gentle no matter what he did. But his good friend was different. He looked very angry and his hair was messy, as if he had had a fight with someone. So I didn't dare to say hello to him."
"Do you know the exact time when the fire started?"
"This..." Ayun looked at Uncle Jin, "The fire was already very big when we found it. We can't be sure of the exact time. Uncle Jin, do you know?"
Uncle Jin shook his head and said, "Oh, Miss Lei, when I went in, Master Yue's friend was lying on the table, but Master Yue was lying on the bed, and there were many wine jars on the table."
Wen Yu connected everything and had some guesses in her mind.
Uncle Jin looked at Wen Yu expectantly, "Miss Lei, we have told you everything we know and saw. You look extraordinary. The prefect listens to you. Please help Master Yue. He is already weak, and after all this suffering, I am afraid he can't bear it. I don't know where he is now."
This was also what Wen Yu was worried about. Yue Lingfeng had not yet recovered from his illness, and he had been trapped in the fire for so long, and then he was splashed with two buckets of cold water in the cold night. How could he bear it?
But in order to reassure these kind neighbors, she did not show her worries on the surface, but smiled and comforted them: "Yue Lingfeng is my fiancé, I will naturally take his affairs to heart, you can rest assured, I will bring him back intact."
"It's great to have neighbors like you in Sancong Hutong."
Chunhua was a little girl after all, and her eyes were already filled with tears. She wiped her tears and said, "Sister Lei, Teacher Yue really likes you..."
Wen Yu gently touched her head: "I know, I will bring your teacher Yue back."
Chunhua looked at Wen Yu's back and murmured, "Sister Lei is so gentle..."
Wen Yu lowered her hat curtain, walked straight to the prefect of Shengjing, and said in a light tone: "Come with me."
The prefect of Shengjing felt a sinking feeling in his heart and nodded quickly, following Wen Yu's steps.
After leaving Sancong Hutong, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "The prefect of Shengjing pays homage to the princess."
Wen Yu did not let him stand up, but stared at him condescendingly without saying a word.
