Chapter 21 The Girl Who Solves Cases Like a God

"what?!"

Yun's face turned pale and she staggered involuntarily.

Su Liuyue quickly supported her, staring at Pingchuan with a pair of sharp eyes, "Tell us everything you just saw and heard in detail."

"Yes!"

Pingchuan said hurriedly: "As soon as I arrived at the Wuhou Shop where the young master was, I saw the people from Jingzhao Prefecture holding the young master out. When the young master saw me, he immediately winked at me secretly, and I... hid.

I heard from the bailiffs who came to arrest the eldest young master that a few days ago, when he was patrolling the street, he met a lost girl. The girl lived not far from our home, so the eldest young master sent her back on his way home.

A few days later, the girl disappeared. Later... later, the girl's body was dumped outside the city. The yamen runners said that the last person the girl saw before she disappeared was the young master, and that the young master was a major suspect in the crime!"

Yun's face turned even paler. "How could it be..."

Su Liuyue frowned slightly, "Since that girl lives in Xinjing, how could she get lost so easily?"

Pingchuan said: "I heard that... the girl is not from Xinjing. She came to Xinjing with her family to visit relatives some time ago."

Su Liuyue continued, "When my eldest cousin sent her home, she didn't have a single maid by her side?"

Pingchuan shook his head. "It is said that no, the girl got separated from her family at that time, and she was alone."

How could it be such a coincidence?
As soon as Su Liuyue finished her question, Yun walked anxiously towards the gate and said, "Wenbo can't possibly kill someone. There must be some misunderstanding! I want to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to meet Wenbo! Pingchuan, go to the Censorate to find the master and tell the servants in the mansion not to reveal a single word in front of the young lady!"

Xue Chengyi has been very busy these days and often cannot go home for dinner, and today is no exception.

A few months later, the new emperor was going to hold an imperial examination. In order to prepare for the exam, Xue Wenjin often stayed in the academy and would not go home until the moon was at its highest point.

Therefore, now in the family, the only one who can take charge is Yun.

Su Liuyue hurriedly followed and said, "Aunt, I'll go with you."

Yun nodded in panic.

The two of them got on the carriage and soon arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture. It was already dark. When they saw Yun and Su Liuyue, the yamen runners in front of the Jingzhao Prefecture immediately stopped them and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What are you doing here in Jingzhao Prefecture?"

"I am Mrs. Yun, the wife of Xue Shiyu."

Yun tried to maintain a calm tone and said, "My son is Xue Wenbai, the head of Wuhou Shop on Changxing Street. Today I heard that he was arrested and taken to Jingzhao Prefecture. I want to see my son!"

The leading bailiff's face darkened, and he said, "It's too late now, and your son is involved in a big case, how can you just see him whenever you want?!"

Yun couldn't help but get anxious, "I just want to see my son. My son has never killed anyone..."

"Madam, please go back!"

The yamen runner said without hesitation: "If Madam doesn't listen to our advice, don't blame us for being rude!"

Yun was completely frozen, totally at a loss for what to do.

Seeing this, Su Liuyue hurried forward, protecting Yun behind her, and smiled at the sullen-looking yamen runner, "Sir, when can we see my cousin?"

Su Liuyue was beautiful and spoke politely. Several yamen runners looked at her and spoke in a gentler tone, "I don't know. For a case as serious as this, to see the suspect, you must have the permission of an official of Shao Yin or above. Please go back!"

Su Liuyue frowned slightly.

This means that even if the uncle came in person, they would not be able to see Xue Wenbai.

Not to mention intervening in this case, they couldn't even see Xue Wenbo. Who knows how things will turn out in the end!

Su Liuyue couldn't help but get impatient and said, "We are family members. Is it not okay for us to just understand the situation?"

Her attention was focused on the several yamen runners in front of her, and she didn't notice that at this time, several people from Jingzhao Prefecture were walking quickly towards the door.

The man at the front walked while whispering to the yamen runner beside him, "You said that Wuhoupu in Lin'an Street arrested a few suspicious people. Why did that person insist on me going to see it myself? For something like this that is not clear yet, shouldn't a few yamen runners be sent to investigate the situation first? But what have I done wrong recently? That person is deliberately tormenting me..."

He was complaining with grievances when suddenly a... very familiar voice came to his ears.

The tip of Lu Shaoyin's ears twitched suddenly, and he looked up. When he saw the familiar figure at the door, he paused and his mouth opened wide.

Although he did not find the woman last time, he did not dare to hide it and told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in detail how he solved the case. This move of his could be considered a right gamble. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not praise him, he did not scold him either.

However, after that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him to find the woman who helped solve the case that day, which worried him. At that time, the woman did not leave her name or reveal her appearance. How could he find her? He could only use his memory to outline her and let his men search for her secretly.

After being troubled by this matter for so many days, he can now remember her figure even with his eyes closed!

Isn't the woman at the door the girl he has been looking for so long?
His eyes suddenly lit up, and under the surprised gaze of the people around him, he quickly stepped forward and said excitedly: "Miss! You made it so hard for me to find you! Why did you suddenly disappear last time? Now, why are you in Jingzhao Prefecture again?!"

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned, and looked at Lu Shaoyin in a rare daze.

Yun was so shocked that his eyes widened.

Lu Shaoyin was immersed in the joy of finally finding the person, his cheeks flushed with excitement, "Miss, you can't sneak away again this time! I told my superiors before about your help in solving the case. My superiors are very interested in you. Are you free to go with me to Jingzhao Prefecture today?"

Su Liuyue slowly calmed down and understood the current situation to some extent.

Her eyes gleamed, and she lowered her eyelids and said, "I had something urgent to do last time, so I left without saying goodbye. To be honest, I came here today because of my cousin. My cousin is Xue Wenbai from Wuhou Shop on Changxing Street. Today, he was suspected of being involved in a murder case of a woman and was arrested in Jingzhao Prefecture..."

Lu Shaoyin was stunned. He never expected that she came here for this!

He frowned, "That Xue Wuhou... is actually your cousin? Hiss, that's a tricky situation. Otherwise, young lady, come with me to Jingzhao Mansion and we can talk in detail."

Su Liuyue was more than happy to do so. "Okay!"

Then, he looked at Yun, who looked confused and shocked, and said softly, "Aunt, I'll be back soon. I'll leave Ersi and Er'an here. They will explain this to you."

After saying that, he followed Lu Shaoyin and walked into Jingzhao Prefecture.

Lu Shaoyin took Su Liuyue directly to his daily office room. Just as he was about to ask someone to make a pot of good tea, a yamen runner came hurriedly and saluted, saying, "Lu Shaoyin, His Highness just sent someone to ask why you haven't gone to Lin'an Street? The few people arrested there are likely to be related to the remnants of the previous dynasty. His Highness asked you to go and check it out immediately!"

Lu Shaoyin, who was still immersed in the excitement of finally finding someone, said: "..."

Damn it, ever since this new boss took office, he hasn’t had a moment of free time!
Lu Shaoyin cried silently for his life as a cow and horse, looked at Su Liuyue and said sadly: "Miss, it's really unfortunate that I have to leave for something urgent. I will arrange someone to entertain you later.

The girl can’t run away again! "

Su Liuyue raised her lips in amusement and said, "Okay, Lu Shaoyin, go and do your work."

There was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

The prince that the yamen runner mentioned should be the new crown prince who is now temporarily serving as the Jingzhao Yin...

He is also General Wu's immediate superior.

Because of General Wu, Su Liuyue didn't have any good feelings towards that man. If it weren't for her eldest cousin's matter, she wouldn't want to have anything to do with these government officials at all.

After Lu Shaoyin left, Su Liuyue waited in the room alone. After a while, a clear, pleasant, and somewhat lazy male voice came from outside the door, "You... are the girl who solves cases like a god that Lu Shaoyin mentioned?"
