Chapter 112 Who will be next? (Update )
After Su Liuyue finished speaking, she noticed the gaze from behind her and immediately remembered that she was investigating a case. She quickly winked at Xue Wenjin, walked up to him, grabbed his arm, and said, "Third cousin, can we talk for a moment?"

Xue Wenjin was also smart, he just paused and said, "Okay."

The moment Su Liuyue turned around, he looked up unconsciously, but was caught off guard to see a strange yet familiar face, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Isn't that... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?!

He had just gone to the Crown Prince's residence outside the palace for a banquet a few days ago. Although Mr. Rong, the Crown Prince's adviser, entertained them most of the time, the Crown Prince still showed up when the banquet was about to end.

How could he not remember such a great man, and such a graceful person? Therefore, even though he had only been with him for a short while, Xue Wenjin recognized him at first sight.

Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here? No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now also the Jingzhao Yin, so it is normal for him to be here.

The point is, was he investigating a case with Liu Yue just now? Did he know Liu Yue's true identity? !

Xue Wenjin was shocked and worried, but suddenly he found that the Crown Prince's black eyes were looking straight at them, as if... looking at him?

He had only met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once, but that time was at a banquet. He remembered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were deep and calm. Although like other important figures, he had a slightly distant and cold aura due to his high position, but overall he was still approachable.

Therefore, with just a few words from him, the scholars who came to the banquet were excited and felt grateful and proud that they had been favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Some of them were so excited that they wanted to swear their loyalty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the spot.

However, there was not a trace of smile on the Crown Prince's face at this moment, and the coldness and aloofness in his phoenix eyes was even more extreme than that night at the banquet, and the way he looked at him even had a hint of scrutiny.

Did he... offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without knowing it?

However, he believed that he had been following his father's teachings when he attended the banquet that night, keeping a low profile and never trying to attract attention. He even felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might not even remember that there was such a person as him that night.

Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking at him like this now?

Xue Wenjin's heart suddenly moved, and he looked down at Su Liuyue who was pulling him forward, with an incredible look on his face.

Could it be that he was looking at him like this because of... Liu Yue?
Su Liuyue led them to the corner outside and asked, "Third cousin, do you know Wei Wulang? Why did you come to Wei Wulang's yard?"

Although Xue Wenjin had a lot of questions in his mind, Su Liuyue got the better of him, so he could only answer her question first, "Liuyue, you came to investigate Brother Wei's case, don't you know that Brother Wei...is our classmate?"

Until this moment, he still couldn't accept that Brother Wei had an accident! Just when the imperial examination was approaching and he was about to make a name for himself, something happened!
As a fellow candidate, he felt an indescribable chill in his heart. There are only a few things that people can pursue in their life. No one felt more sorry for Wei Minghui than his fellow candidates.

Classmate?

Does this mean that Wei Minghui, like them, also studied at Yangzheng Academy?

Su Liuyue quickly sorted out the matter. Wei Minghui was a illegitimate child of the Wei family. The Wei family was full of talented people. No matter how well he had performed before, they would definitely give priority to training legitimate children. Wei Minghui would not be eligible for admission to the top national institution like the Imperial College.

In the capital, the most famous private academy is Yangzheng Academy. No wonder Wei Minghui and Xue Wenjin were classmates.

Xue Wenjin continued, "Brother Wei's provincial examination results are the best among all the students in our Yangzheng Academy over the years. Our dean is very proud and has always paid close attention to Brother Wei's preparations for the exam. Brother Wei is also very diligent and often returns to Yangzheng Academy to ask the dean for advice. Last time, when Brother Wei returned to Yangzheng Academy, he showed the dean his latest essays. The dean made some comments and predicted the topic for this year's joint examination. He asked us to send Brother Wei's essays and the topic he predicted to him, and said that we are from the same school and clan and will take the exam this year, so we can discuss the topic he predicted together.

Who would have thought…”

As soon as they entered Zhuangyuan Lane, they noticed that something had happened where Wei Minghui lived.

But who would have thought that he would be gone...

Thinking of the two unrecognizable corpses, Xue Wenjin couldn't help but turn pale.

Bai He was speechless from the beginning. He kept huddled behind Xue Wenjin, trembling with tears in his eyes.

Su Liuyue wanted to say something to Xue Wenjin, but she couldn't reveal that she was helping Jingzhao Prefecture investigate a case. She looked at Bai He, then at Xue Wenjin, and whispered, "Third cousin, I think Mr. Bai is not quite right. Should we let him go back and have a rest? If this affects his exams, it will be a loss."

Xue Wenjin understood immediately and turned to Bai He, saying, "Brother Bai, the dean still... doesn't know that Brother Wei is in trouble. Why don't you go back and tell the dean everything? Don't let the dean be physically unable to bear the news when he suddenly receives it."

Bai He seemed a little dazed, and only raised his head after a while, biting his lip and said, "Brother Wei... Brother Wei is gone just like that, Brother Xue, this... this is too terrible.

We have finally come this far, and if something goes wrong next, it will be our turn..."

Xue Wenjin seemed helpless, but he was obviously used to his appearance. He said, "Brother Bai, you are here again. The ones who got into trouble these few times were all top scholars. It's not our turn no matter how you think about it..."

"But, I really felt like someone was following us yesterday, really..."

"Brother Bai."

Xue Wenjin frowned slightly and said, "I was with you yesterday, but I didn't feel anyone following us. You've been preparing for the exams during this period, and you're under too much pressure, right?"

Bai He bit his lip hard, his face looked extremely ugly. Suddenly, he turned around abruptly and stammered, "Forget it, I...I'll go back first. As for the dean, I...I'll talk to him...Brother Xue, if you have nothing else, come back earlier..."

Before he could finish his words, the man had already walked a long way away, and soon, he disappeared at the end of the alley.

It was as if someone was chasing him from behind and trying to chop him.

Su Liuyue looked at the direction where his back disappeared, and couldn't help but frowned, "Third cousin, Mr. Bai said someone followed him yesterday, what happened?"

Xue Wenjin was slightly stunned, and said helplessly: "Didn't I go to your store with him yesterday to show my support for you? On the way back to the academy, Brother Bai kept saying that he felt someone was looking at him from behind, and he kept looking back. I didn't feel anything, but seeing him like this, I also suspected that there was someone following us. When we were about to reach the entrance of the academy, I stopped with him and looked for a long time.

There were people coming and going on the street, and we looked for a long time but couldn't see any suspicious people. I said to him, but you are under too much pressure, and your feeling is wrong? After all, he has been quite nervous during this period, and this kind of shocking things have happened a lot..."

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned and asked, "What exactly happened?"
