Chapter 37: The Pleasure of Meeting a Rival in Chess (Part )
The corner of Su Liuyue's mouth twitched slightly. Although she had seen many mentally abnormal criminals like this, every time she saw one, she still had to sigh - the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.

She glanced at Ping Shaoyin and said expressionlessly, "The truth has been revealed. Ping Shaoyin, you can arrest the man now."

Ping Shaoyin inexplicably sensed her speechlessness, and could not help but raise the corner of his mouth and said in a calm voice: "Come here, take the criminal back to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

Before leaving, Su Liuyue couldn't help but turn around to look at Yu Saozi and Xin Niang, who looked desperate and helpless. She sighed secretly before walking out and getting on the carriage.

There must be something pitiful about a pitiful person.

But the most pitiful are those innocent people who lost their lives and the relatives of the murderers.

After returning to Jingzhao Prefecture, Su Liuyue just got off the carriage and saw Xue Wenbo who was walking out of Jingzhao Prefecture with a confused look on his face. Su Liuyue immediately trotted over in great surprise, "Cousin!"

"Liu Yue!"

Xue Wenbo was very happy to see his relatives. He walked over quickly and said excitedly, "Liu Yue, you...how did you know I could come out? Why are you dressed like this? Where's my father? Where's my mother? No one else is here?
Just now, a bailiff came to me and told me that the real murderer had been caught and I could leave. I was worried that I would be locked up for ten days or half a month!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, not noticing that Su Liuyue's face turned strange after she approached him. He took a few steps back calmly, coughed lightly and said, "My uncle and aunt probably don't know you're out yet. Cousin, let's go home as soon as possible. My aunt must have boiled some pomelo leaves to ward off evil spirits for you."

After being locked up in a dungeon like that for a day and a night, the Fragrant Concubine would become smelly. The smell on Xue Wenbai's body at this time was really hard to describe.

Xue Wenbai, who was still immersed in excitement, didn't notice his cousin's strangeness. He kept nodding and said, "Okay, okay, let's go home now..."

Before he finished speaking, a calm voice sounded not far away, "Young Master Su, the master invites you to come into Jingzhao Mansion for a chat."

The cousins ​​were both stunned. Su Liuyue turned to look at Feng Yang who was not far away. She knew that she couldn't avoid what was coming. She sighed secretly and said expressionlessly, "Okay, Guard Feng, please wait for a moment."

She didn't know what relationship Feng Yang had with Ping Shaoyin, but when she heard that they all called him Guard Feng, she started to call him that too.

Xue Wenbai looked at Feng Yang, then at Su Liuyue, and said with an uneasy look on his face: "Liuyue, who is this? Who is the master he is talking about? Could it be an official in Jingzhao Prefecture?"

This is a long story, Su Liuyue could only helplessly say to Xue Wenbo: "Cousin, don't worry, I'm fine, go call a car first, and when I come out, we'll go home."

Although Xue Wenbai was full of confusion and anxiety, Su Liuyue was going to Jingzhao Prefecture, and nothing would happen in such a place. Moreover, his cousin had become more calm and independent-minded since her failed suicide attempt. He had already subconsciously trusted her in his heart.

So, he just frowned and said, "Okay, then be careful. If anything happens, come out to me immediately!"

Su Liuyue raised her lips slightly and said, "Okay."

As soon as she got off the carriage, she was attracted by Xue Wenbai and did not notice when Ping Shaoyin left.

Feng Yang led the way silently as usual. After a while, he brought Su Liuyue back to the room where she had been reading files for the past two days.

On the main seat in the room, Ping Shaoyin had already sat upright. When he saw Su Liuyue, he raised his thin lips and said, "How is it? Am I a man of my word? Your cousin has been in Jingzhao Prefecture for the past two days, and I dare not treat him harshly."

Su Liuyue slowly walked to the center of the room, raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. Hearing this, a hint of coldness appeared on the corners of her mouth, "Then I still have to say thank you to Ping Shaoyin, and believe that Ping Shaoyin didn't deliberately capture my cousin?"

The man on the main seat raised his eyes slightly, stared at Su Liuyue for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "When did you realize this?"

Is this a direct admission?
Well, it's all over, there's no need to hide it any more.

Su Liuyue gritted her teeth secretly and said, "Yesterday when I went to see my eldest cousin, I asked him. Although he did send Miss Fang off on the day she disappeared, he had a very strong alibi when the victims of the first two cases disappeared, and there were witnesses. My eldest cousin said that he had already told them these things when the yamen runners interrogated him. Since Ping Shaoyin felt that the three cases were all committed by the same person from the beginning, my eldest cousin did not meet the standard of a suspect at all, and he should not have been locked up for so long!

What's more, it was eight days ago that my cousin sent Miss Fang home. When he was arrested yesterday, Miss Fang's body had been found two days ago. Why was there no movement in Jingzhao Prefecture for so many days, but my cousin was arrested only two days after the body was discovered?
Ping Shaoyin, do you want me to think that this is because your Jingzhao Prefecture is too inefficient, or do you do all this on purpose? ! "

This means that she guessed from the very beginning that he had deliberately captured her cousin.

Ping Shaoyin's deep black eyes seemed to gleam with light. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said, "I really can't underestimate you at all. If you have any other guesses, you might as well tell me."

This is how the masters fight each other. During the whole investigation process, they were actually observing and testing each other.

But in just two days, she had seen through almost everything about him, and this time, it was him who she couldn't see through.

Su Liuyue raised her eyes slightly, and said with a twitch of her lips: "What do you want to hear? Did you deliberately capture my cousin in order to lure me to Jingzhao Prefecture? Was this case actually a test you set for me? Or..."

Su Liuyue paused, her voice sinking slightly, "You are not actually some Ping Shaoyin, but the current Jingzhao Yin, second only to the emperor and above everyone else... What about the Crown Prince?"

Although Ping Shaoyin... no, it should be said that Zhou Yunke had a premonition that his identity was exposed, he still couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Your sharpness is rare even among the soldiers. Let me guess, you finally confirmed my identity when you were in the Dali Temple, right?"

Su Liuyue said coldly, "Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who else has the ability to ask the people from the Dali Temple to leave and clear a path for me to walk on? Who else has the ability to empty the cells that are used to detain special criminals and clean them up just to welcome you?"

When she entered the dungeon of the Dali Temple, she saw half-eaten meals in two of the cells, which meant that there was at least one criminal in the dungeon not long ago!

However, when she went in, she only saw Kang Mingyong, which meant that the criminal had been temporarily transferred.

"Not to mention, you yourself are the biggest flaw."

Su Liuyue said: "Whether you are standing or sitting, your posture will be as straight as a pine tree, especially when you are sitting, your hands will habitually be placed on your thighs, which is a typical posture of a military commander.

The thick calluses on your hands, especially the base of your thumb, indicate that you often wield weapons. And judging from the fact that you were able to subdue an agitated criminal with just two fingers, you also possess superb martial arts skills.

All these characteristics should not be possessed by a civil servant!"

"So, when you were at Chang's house, you asked me to identify the topographic map."

Zhou Yunke couldn't help but chuckle again. He grew up in an army where strength was paramount and had a belligerent side to his nature. He thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of having a hearty battle with an enemy of equal strength.

This was the first time he felt the pleasure of meeting a worthy opponent from a woman.

"Correct."

Su Liuyue raised her chin and said, "Your Highness has been leading troops in battles for many years and has always enjoyed the reputation of a military genius. Your Highness is very familiar with the topographic maps of all the key states and towns in Daqing."

Feng Yang on the side: "..."

It was fine that Miss Su didn't know His Highness's identity before, but why is it that now that everything has been revealed, she seems to be even more arrogant? !

"Since you are so smart..."

Zhou Yunke smiled and said slowly, "You must have guessed why I did so many things, right?"
