MTL - Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child-Chapter 569 Fear of committing suicide
Chapter 569 Fear of crime to commit suicide
Xiao Juan's expression became more and more ugly.
Thanks to his self-confidence and five senses, they were followed by someone, and he hadn't found it yet.
He pursed his thin lips slightly and said coldly.
"They could have been hiding in the dark, but now they suddenly show up to **** the donkey bones, which shows that our investigation is in the right direction, and we are approaching the truth step by step."
Having said that, everyone didn’t feel relaxed, and their hearts became heavier.
Now they have only found a little bit of fur, and there are already so many masters chasing them.
If they continue to investigate, the situation in the future will definitely be more dangerous.
Yuan Jin came back soon.
He bent over and nodded, reassuring.
"Xiaguan has sent people to hunt down assassins outside the city. Please rest assured, His Royal Highness, as long as they are still in Bashu County, Xiaguan will definitely catch them and give you an explanation!"
Hearing this, Yu Lingwei showed a strange look.
"Tonight, Prince Lang and I had no plans to leave the city.
The people under the commander of the county king encountered a little trouble and delayed the time.
We had to make an impromptu decision to go out of town to find people.
As a result, he was attacked by assassins on the way back to the city.
Yuan Junshou, do you think all this is a coincidence? "
Yuan Jin looked at her blankly: "Who are you?"
Before Yu Weiwei could answer, Xiao Lian spoke first.
"She is the princess of this king, you answer her question."
Yuan Jin hurriedly bowed his hands towards Yu Cuiwei: "Xiaguan visits Princess Princess. If Princess Princess has any doubts in her heart, even if you say it, Xiaguan will definitely check it out."
Yu curling: "You have a clerk under your command who brought people to trouble us over and over again. I didn't take him seriously at first, but tonight it was because of his harassment that we temporarily decided to leave the city. , and we were assassinated not long after we were separated from the clerk."
Yuan Jin broke down in a cold sweat when he heard it: "How could such a thing still happen? Dare to ask the princess, who is the surname of the little official? The lower official must examine him carefully!"
Yu Weiwei: "I don't know his name."
Yuan Jin: "Then I will call all the little officials in the mansion and let you recognize them one by one."
Yu Weiwei said: "Don't be so troublesome, I remember his appearance, I can draw it for you to see."
Yuan Jin immediately ordered someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and personally spread paper and ink for the princess of the county.
He has seen many portraits of people and knows that there is a big gap between portraits and real people, so he has no hope for the works of Princess Princess, but he does not dare to dispel the interest of Princess Princess, so he can only stand beside him silently. watch.
But when he watched Princess Princess draw a vivid facial outline on the paper with just a few strokes, he couldn't help being stunned.
Yu CuiCui continued to draw and paint according to the image in his memory, the facial features became more and more clear, and the whole portrait became more and more realistic.
It's so real that it seems to come alive at any time.
Yuan Jin was amazed at the exquisite painting skills of the princess of the county, and couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.
"This painting is wonderful!"
Yu curled down the brush and asked, "Have you ever met this person?"
Yuan Jin looked at the portrait carefully: "It's very familiar, but I can't remember who it is."
There are many petty officials in the mansion. As a county governor, he is very busy every day. How can he have time to remember a little-known petty official?
Yuan Jin called Fuzhong Changshi and asked, pointing to the man in the portrait.
"Do you know this person?"
Changshi is in charge of personnel changes in the government officials and county governors. He knows all the officials in the government, so he can recognize them just by looking at them.
"This is a small official under Gao Dianshi, named Li Jia, who is in charge of the security of an area east of the city."
Yuan Jin immediately said: "Bring people here!"
Changshi saw that the adults looked bad, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he hurriedly responded.
"Here!"
Changshi hurriedly retreated.
He was gone for a long time.
Yuan Jin felt uneasy in his heart. From time to time, he would take a peek at the Prince of Langjun and Princess Consort, for fear that the other party would be unhappy.
Just when Yuan Jin was about to sit still and was about to call someone to find Chang Shi, he saw Chang Shi hurried in.
Without waiting for Yuan Jin to ask questions, Chang Shi fell to his knees on the ground and said everything in one go.
"Your Majesty, he went to Li Jia only after he was under the official government. He was told that he was not in the mansion, so Xiaguan took people to his home, only to find that he had died at home!"
Yuan Jin's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "How did he die?"
Changshi: "Yes, he committed suicide by hanging. When we got to his house, he was dead."
If you are not guilty, how can you commit suicide?
Yuan Jin couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart. Could it be that Li Jia really hooked up with the killer to assassinate Prince Lang?
But Li Jia is just a little-known little official, he has nothing to do with the king of Langjun, how can he take the risk and go against the king of Langjun?
Li Jia's death was very sudden, but Xiao Juan didn't react much.
he asked calmly.
"Where's Li Jia's body?"
Changshi didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, so he didn't answer, but looked up at Yuan Jin.
Yuan Jin said angrily, "Look at what I do? Just tell me what you know!"
Since the county governor said so, Chang Shi naturally had nothing to worry about and said immediately.
"The body has been brought back to the county governor's office."
Xiao Juan: "Carry in."
Changshi went to see Yuan Jin again.
Yuan Jin stared: "Why don't you go quickly?!"
Changshi got up hastily and went outside to ask someone to carry the body into the house,
Luo Pingsha stepped forward and undid the white linen covering the corpse.
Li Jia was lying straight on the stretcher, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and there was a deep scar on his neck.
Luo Pingsha put on gloves, carefully checked the marks on Li Jia's neck, and quickly came to a conclusion.
"There were two strangle marks on the neck of the deceased, one of which was directed backwards, and the other was directed upwards. The deceased should have been strangled with hemp ropes, and then hanged to a high place, disguised as a The illusion of hanging yourself."
Yuan Jin hurriedly said: "So Li Jia didn't commit suicide in fear of crime?"
Yu Weiwei: "Hmm."
Before Yuan Jin could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her continue.
"Li Jia should have been silenced by his accomplices."
Yuan Jin was stunned.
Yu curled his head to look at Xiao Lian who was sitting beside him, and asked in a low voice.
"Could it be the hands of those assassins just now?"
Xiao Juan: "It's very possible."
Luo Pingsha stood up: "Judging from the temperature and stiffness of the corpse, the time of death should have been half an hour ago."
Chang Shi murmured: "Half an hour is the time to go to and from Li Jia's house. So, he died as soon as we arrived at Li Jia's house, which is too coincidental. As long as we arrive one step earlier, Li Jia may Neither will die."
Yuan Jin said: "Yes, as long as you arrive one step early, you can meet those assassins head-on."
Changshi immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.
He is just a civil servant. If he really met an assassin face to face, he would definitely be more fortunate.
