Chapter 53: Vase and Willow Branches (Part )

Feng Dali and Sun Zhaoan looked at each other. It was Feng Dali who spoke first. He scratched the back of his head and said, "If you want to talk about Zhou Hao, Wei Yong and Zhong Weilai, they have appeared in many places at the same time. After all, they all lived in the same place after returning to Beijing.

But if Captain Shi is included, then the only time they appeared together might be on the way to Xinjing. There were a total of 68 soldiers who came to Xinjing in advance, 20 of whom were soldiers who escorted them back. But because of Captain Shi's special status, it is said that he rarely spoke to other soldiers on the way to Xinjing, and only communicated with a few guards around him. "

Sure enough, among these people, Shi Tai is the most special.

Su Liuyue frowned slightly and said, "So, Zhou Hao, Wei Yong and Zhong Weilai should know each other. How is their relationship? They have no connection with Captain Shi at all?"

Sun Zhaoan said: "Although Zhou Hao, Wei Yong and Zhong Weilai came to Xinjing together, they did not know each other before coming to Xinjing because they belonged to different teams in the army.

On the way to Xinjing, they also communicated a lot with the soldiers of their original team. People around them said that although they knew each other, they basically did not have a deep friendship, and at most they would say hello when they met.

As for them and Captain Shi, they really didn't have much in common. I'm afraid they haven't even spoken to each other."

It's normal for people to look for a circle where they can feel a sense of belonging.

Not to mention that they already have problems with their mentality, so they have no intention of making new friends.

Su Liuyue's eyes darkened slightly, and she continued, "Among the soldiers who came back with them, are there any who have had any contact with the four of them, or are even very familiar with them?"

Feng Dali and Sun Zhaoan both shook their heads.

Su Liuyue had expected this answer. If such a person really existed, even if these four people seemed to have committed suicide, they would definitely be targeted by the government and investigated intensively, and they would not have no presence at all in the case files.

However, if that’s the case, there really isn’t any breakthrough in this case for now.

Su Liuyue pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the residences of the four dead first, starting with Captain Shi."

Among these four people, only Captain Shi lived in the city, and his residence was not far from Jingzhao Prefecture, so he could walk there directly.

On the way to Captain Shi's residence, Feng Dali suddenly said indignantly: "In the past two months, one person has died almost every half a month. Now it has been half a month since the last death. Many people are waiting to see if another person in your Highness's army will commit suicide.

It is said that this incident alarmed the emperor, who called Your Highness into the palace some time ago and gave him a severe lecture, asking him to manage his soldiers well!"

His words revealed a refusal to accept the fact that no one was scolding His Highness.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and glance at him.

Although Zhou Yunke has not been in charge of Jingzhao Prefecture for a long time, he seems to be quite popular.

Sun Zhaoan curled his lips and said, "It can't be helped. The dead soldiers were all from your highness' army. Although they all committed suicide, it still has a bad influence. If you don't know, you might think that your highness is very harsh to the soldiers in the army."

Feng Dali immediately said, "How is it possible! Asshole, I even suspect that someone is targeting your Highness! Su Xiaolangjun, your Highness asked you to re-investigate these cases, it must be because he discovered something, right? Could it be that I am right, someone is targeting your Highness?"

Su Liuyue looked up at the sky silently and said, "It is true that Your Highness has some doubts about this case. As for whether these cases are targeted at Your Highness by others, it is not known for the time being." She really didn't want these cases to be so complicated.

Although she knew it would not be easy to work under that man, she still didn't want to get involved in all these intrigues right away.

The few of them soon arrived at Captain Shi's previous residence. This was originally a villa of the Lu family, the family of the queen of the previous dynasty. After the Lu family collapsed, Shi Tai moved in.

After Shi Tai died, Zhou Yunke immediately sent people to seal off the yard and did not allow anyone to enter. Therefore, the scene inside was basically unchanged from the day Shi Tai left.

Shi Tai hanged himself in his dormitory that day. As soon as Su Liuyue entered, she went straight to the place where he hanged himself. As soon as she entered the room, Su Liuyue understood what Zhou Yunke meant when he said that Shi Tai always loved cleanliness.

The room is not big, but every corner is tidy. No matter the bedding on the bed or the things on the desk, there is no mess at all.

Su Liuyue slowly walked around the room, carefully examining every corner. When her gaze fell on the desk in front of the window, her eyes widened slightly and she walked over quickly.

Feng Dali and Sun Zhaoan were slightly stunned, and quickly followed and asked, "Young Master Su, did you find anything?"

Su Liuyue finally stopped in front of a white vase in the corner of the desk, staring at the vase with her eyes, and her brows gradually furrowed.

This is a white pottery vase with a slender neck and perfect curves. There is no pattern on it and it looks very plain. Just looking at the style of this vase, it matches Shi Tai's room very well.

What caught Su Liuyue's attention was that there was a willow branch in the vase that had already turned yellow! She had just walked in and remembered clearly that there was no willow tree in Shi Tai's yard!

Where did he pick this willow branch?

Yesterday she also found a willow branch among Zhou Hao's belongings. Is there any connection between the two? !

Su Liuyue took a deep breath, and suddenly turned to look at Feng Dali and Sun Zhaoan, and said, "On the day Captain Shi died, this vase was placed here, right?"

Feng Dali was slightly stunned, then nodded with certainty, "Yes, this vase was there when Captain Shi died."

Su Liuyue stared at the two of them closely. "Did the guards around Captain Shi tell me when this vase, especially the willow branch inside, appeared here?"

Sun Zhaoan didn't quite understand why Su Liuyue was so interested in the vase, but he still said truthfully: "The guards around Captain Shi didn't know when the vase appeared. They were all sent away two days before Captain Shi died. Therefore, we guess that Captain Shi bought the vase himself and placed it here as a decoration.

It is summer now, and willow trees are planted in many places in Xinjing. It is not difficult to find one or two willow branches.

Mr. Su, is there anything special about this vase and willow branch?"

Captain Shi is in a bad mood and wants to put some green plants in the room to relieve his mood. Is that normal?
