Chapter 46: More Than One Death
Feng Yang said: "His Highness said that Young Master Su is a serious person and will only come early and will not be late, so he asked me to come here early."

However, he didn't expect that Su Xiaolangjun arrived almost fifteen minutes early!
Su Liuyue was slightly stunned, and looked behind him unconsciously, "So, your Highness is worried that I will be left out, so he asked you to come and receive me in advance?"

"No."

Feng Yang shook his head and said, "Your Highness asked me to pick up Young Master Su. He had something urgent to do at the military camp and couldn't come over, so he asked me to pick up Young Master Su and bring him to the military camp."

Su Liuyue's eyes twitched involuntarily.

The military camp is outside the city, and it is almost evening now. After the trip back and forth, she is afraid that she will not be able to return to the Xue family until late at night.

It's only her first day at work and she's already been asked to work overtime.

In the end, she could only say expressionlessly: "Okay, let's go."

The distance from Jingzhao Prefecture to the military camp outside the city is not short. Even if you take a horse carriage at normal speed, it will take almost half an hour one way.

Su Liuyue originally thought that she would have to sit there for half an hour, but as soon as she opened the carriage door, she saw a box of files inside!
Feng Yang at the side immediately said: "These are all files about the case that Your Highness wants to talk to Young Master Su about later. Your Highness is worried that Young Master Su will be bored on the way, so he asked me to move all these files into the carriage."

Su Liuyue was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, "There are so many files related to this case? Is this another big case?"

The previous female serial murder case plus several victims fifteen years ago, a total of nine victims. Although the number of files here is not as large as that case, it is almost the same.

There is definitely more than one person who died in this case!

Feng Yang was silent for a moment, but said, "Not really."

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned. What does "not count" mean? When she asked Zhou Yunke yesterday if he had another case, Zhou Yunke also said "not count" strangely.

Yes is yes, no is no, what does this mean?
She was silent, didn't ask any more questions, and got into the carriage.

Never mind. The files are all here anyway. She can find the answers herself faster.

Zhou Yunke did one thing right.

Soon, the carriage began to move forward slowly.

Along the way, Su Liuyue was browsing the files, and soon she understood what the strange attitude of Zhou Yunke and his servant meant - a total of four people have died in this case so far, but after the government officials investigated the case, they all asserted that these four people committed suicide!
Moreover, these four dead were all soldiers of the Shenwu Army!
The first victim was an ordinary soldier named Zhou Hao, 22 years old. He died two and a half months ago from suicide.

The second victim was a lieutenant in the army named Wei Yong, 30 years old. He died two months ago from suicide by cutting his wrists.

The third victim was actually a captain in the army named Shi Tai, 28 years old. He died a month ago. The cause of death was the same as the first victim, also suicide.

A duwei is a high-ranking military officer in the army, second only to the general and the commander-in-chief who commands the entire army. He usually leads a regiment in the army, each regiment is about 5,000 people.

Because Xue Wenbai was very much looking forward to military life, he had talked to Su Liuyue about military affairs these days. Su Liuyue now had some understanding of the military affairs in Daqing.

Such a person actually committed suicide.

The last victim died half a month ago. He was also an ordinary soldier in the army. His name was Zhong Weilai, he was eighteen years old, and he died by jumping into the river.

This is also the youngest person to die.

Because the deceased were all soldiers in the Shenwu Army, it can be seen that the Jingzhao Prefecture attached great importance to this case. The circumstances of each deceased's death, including what was around him when he died, were recorded in great detail.

However, even with such a thorough investigation, they still could not find any signs of homicide in these four cases.

In addition to the fact that the coroner's examination and the on-site inspection found no signs of homicide, suicide notes or personal belongings were also found at the scene of death of each victim. These things all expressed the deceased's inner pain and desire to commit suicide.

But Zhou Yunke certainly didn't believe this result, otherwise there would be no need to call her here. Su Liuyue read all the files, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, lifted the curtain of the car window, and asked Feng Yang who was riding beside her, "Where are the suicide notes and relics of the four dead?"

"Those things were left behind by the deceased. They will be sent to their relatives who are still alive. It is not right for me to bring them out."

Feng Yang said: "Those things are all stored properly in the military camp. Young Master Su will be able to see them when he goes to the military camp later."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "We have arrived at the Shenwu Army's camp."

The Shenwu Army was stationed on a plain at the foot of Yanshan Mountain outside the city, surrounded by large fields. This was also the place where the garrison of the previous dynasty's capital was stationed.

There is still a large area of ​​barracks built by the previous dynasty for soldiers to live in. When there is no war, most of the soldiers in the army live the life of ordinary farmers and train during the slack season.

Now that Daqing has just been founded, the army of the previous dynasty has been completely wiped out on the surface, but in fact there are still many people in the dark who are ready to make a move. Therefore, the army is still in a wartime state. The surrounding farmland is uncultivated and appears barren. Combined with the sky being illuminated red and orange by the setting sun, it inexplicably gives people an indescribable sense of desolation.

Su Liuyue was looking at the scene outside the window, and was fascinated for a moment. Suddenly, a delicate cry came from her ears -

"How dare you! I came here on the orders of my aunt to deliver the bird's nest that she made herself to His Highness, but you didn't even let me enter the military camp! Who gave you the guts to treat the royal family with such disregard?"

Su Liuyue looked up subconsciously and saw a petite woman in pink with pearls and jade on her head standing at the entrance of the military camp not far away, surrounded by a group of servants, confronting several guards at the gate of the military camp.

Su Liuyue's attention was all on the woman, and she didn't notice that Feng Yang's face changed when he saw her. When they were about to reach the gate of the military camp, he quickly raised his hand and stopped the carriage.

The guard not far away stood straight, looking forward, and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness has ordered that the military camp is a restricted area, and no outsiders are allowed to trespass! Princess, please go back!"

"Am I just an idler?!"

The woman's angry voice sounded again, "Open your dog eyes and see who I am! The current queen is my aunt, His Majesty is my uncle, and your Highness is my cousin! Why can't I come in!"

The guards still had no expression on their faces. "Your Highness has ordered that the military camp is a restricted area and no outsiders are allowed to trespass! Princess, please go back!"

Afterwards, no matter how loudly the woman made a fuss, the guard remained calm and kept saying the same words to drive her away. Even Su Liuyue admired his psychological quality.

Finally, the pink-dressed woman was so angry that she snatched the gourmet food box held by the maid next to her and threw it fiercely at the feet of the guards. She was so angry that her voice was shrill, "Okay! Okay! I will go back and tell my aunt and uncle about you bullying me!"

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

She had her back to Su Liuyue just now, so Su Liuyue could only see clearly now. The woman's facial features were actually very delicate. If her face wasn't a little distorted due to anger, it would be worthy of the word "pleasing to the eye".

She watched with interest until the woman got on the carriage. When she turned around, she found that Feng Yang had gotten off the horse at some point and was carefully hiding behind the horse, using the horse's body to cover his figure.

Su Liuyue was amused by his sneaky appearance, "Guard Feng, what's wrong with you?"

Is that little princess so scary?
Feng Yang waited until the woman's carriage had gone far away before he coughed and said, "Nothing, let's go in."

Completely different from the woman just now, when the guards saw Feng Yang, they immediately saluted and called out "Commander Feng", then let them in.

Everyone said that Zhou Yunke was strict in military discipline. It was not until Su Liuyue entered the military camp that she truly understood the meaning of these four words.

In the huge military camp, there were soldiers walking everywhere. Although there were many people, it did not seem messy at all. Everyone was doing his own thing in an orderly manner, and there was not even a trace of unnecessary noise.

Su Liuyue followed Feng Yang and walked forward. When the soldiers passing by saw Feng Yang, they would immediately stop and salute respectfully.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but secretly click her tongue in her heart. So this was the feeling of a fox borrowing the power of a tiger to bully others. The taste of power was really tempting!

Speaking of which, the General Wu that Su Weili and Guo had tried so hard to curry favor with was said to be in the Shenwu Army. But now it doesn't seem like that. How could such a scum appear in such a strict army?
Su Liuyue was walking and observing when Feng Yang in front of him suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "This is His Highness's tent. His Highness is discussing something with several generals inside. Please wait here for a moment, Young Master Su."
