Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 142 Don’t look at anything inappropriate
Si Buping decided to go back to Yufengtang on the grounds that it was too cold and he didn't want to run around.

Before leaving, he asked Fu Bai to stay and assist Yan Ciwan and Xiao Wang in investigating the case.

Then the group went straight to Huai'an Courtyard.

Du Lingzhou considered himself an important figure in promoting the case, so he deliberately took a step ahead and walked in front of everyone else.

At first glance, it seemed as if he had become the leader of the team.

He deliberately glanced at Xiao Wang behind him and asked in a provocative tone.

"Xiao Liu, let's make a bet. Let's bet on who can find the real murderer first this time!"

Xiao Wang thought it would be a good idea to find him something serious to do, so that he wouldn't have to challenge him all day long, so he agreed immediately: "Okay."

Du Lingzhou then said: "If I win, you will have to be my follower in the future. If you win, I will be your younger brother in the future. How about that?"

"If I win, you don't have to be my little brother. Just don't bother me again in the future."

Du Lingzhou, who was despised, felt humiliated. He sneered and said, "Wait until you beat me!"

Huai'an Courtyard was the residence of the three escorts. Now that Huang Yefei had been killed, his body was temporarily placed in the west wing, and the door was locked from the outside. Feng Wu and Sun Hu were talking in the east wing, and when they saw Yan Ciwan and his group suddenly visit, they both showed alertness.

"Why are you still haunting us?!" Sun Hu frowned and glared at the group of people.

Du Lingzhou, the leader, stepped forward and said with great momentum: "We have discovered the cause of Lian Bantian's death. Now I want to ask you a few questions. I hope you will cooperate!"

Feng Wu said with a cold face: "We have said everything we need to say."

"We only asked you what you did yesterday and this morning. We never asked you what you did last night."

Sun Hu rolled his eyes without any hesitation: "What else can we do at this late hour besides sleeping?"

Du Lingzhou pressed further: "Besides sleeping, what else? Have you never sneaked out when no one was paying attention?"

Sun Hu was so angry at his suspicious look that he said, "We stayed in Huai'an Courtyard all night and didn't go anywhere! What do you want to do by asking these questions? If you want to cause trouble, just say so. I'll go out with you and have a fight!"

"I'm just asking casually. Do you have to be so angry? Is it because you have something to hide that you react so strongly?"

Sun Hu couldn't bear it any longer and raised his fist to hit someone.

Although Du Lingzhou was still sick, he had no intention of backing down. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Yan Ciwan pushed Fu Bai hard at the critical moment.

Fu Bai was forced to take a big step forward and squeezed in between Sun Hu and Du Lingzhou.

Seeing that both of them were staring at him, Fu Bai could only bite the bullet and speak: "I am here on the orders of the Grand Councilor to investigate two murders in the villa. Please calm down and don't do anything."

Feng Wu stepped forward to pull Sun Hu away, and warned Sun Hu with his eyes not to act rashly in front of the inner guards.

Without an opponent, Du Lingzhou couldn't fight alone. He could only roll up his sleeves and say.

"You said you didn't go out last night. Who can testify for you?"

Feng Wu said coldly: "We brothers can testify for each other."

Du Lingzhou asked sarcastically, "Do you think I believe it?"

Sun Hu pointed at him and threatened: "I don't care whether you believe it or not. You little brat, don't force me to slap you!"

Du Lingzhou was not afraid at all: "Do you think I was brought up by fear? You want to fight? I will fight you till the end!"

Fu Bai was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma.

He said with a headache: "Stop arguing, talk properly!" Feng Wu suddenly looked to the side and asked sternly: "Where are you going?"

Du Lingzhou and Sun Hu stopped arguing immediately. They followed Feng Wu's gaze and saw that Yan Ciwan had walked to the door of the east wing at some point. She looked like she was about to push the door open, obviously wanting to sneak into the house.

Even though he was caught red-handed, Yan Ciwan was not at all panicked.

She took her hand back and said with a smile, "It's too cold, and it's still snowing outside. Du Er's illness hasn't recovered yet, so he can't be frozen again. It's better for us to go inside and talk."

Faced with her sudden concern, Du Lingzhou frowned and looked suspicious. What was this woman planning?
Feng Wu strode up to her and mercilessly ordered her to leave.

"The East Wing is where I live. It's not a place for a young girl like you to enter. If you have nothing else to do, please leave immediately."

Yan Ciwan sighed helplessly: "Okay."

She turned around to leave, but suddenly her foot slipped, and she stumbled and fell in the snow.

Xiao Wang reacted the fastest, rushing over to help her up immediately, and then Chao Lu also ran over and asked with concern: "Where are you hurt? Let me help you take a look."

"It seems like I sprained my foot. It hurts so much that I can't walk." Yan Ciwan frowned, pursed his lips slightly, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Chaolu was very anxious: "Maybe you sprained your muscles. Find a place to sit down quickly and I will check you carefully."

Feng Wu stood still and refused to let them enter the east wing. Huang Yefei's body was placed in the west wing, making it inconvenient to enter. In the end, Xiao Wang could only support Yan Ci Wan and enter the main hall in the middle.

Yan Ciwan sat down in the chair. Chaolu squatted in front of her, ready to check her ankle, but she suddenly retracted her foot and said with a little embarrassment.

"Let them all go out."

Xiao Wang immediately said to the others: "Don't look at anything inappropriate. Please follow me out to avoid suspicion."

So everyone and Xiao Wang left the hall together.

Xiao Wang was the last person walking in. After he walked out and turned around to close the door, his eyes just met Yan Ciwan who was inside the house.

Yan Ciwan blinked quickly at him.

Xiao Wang smiled slightly and closed the door gently.

Yan Ciwan and Chaolu were the only two people left in the room. Yan Ciwan stood up suddenly and strode towards the side door on the left.

Seeing this, Chaolu was surprised: "You are..."

Yan Ciwan made a gesture to her to keep quiet, and then explained in a low voice.

"I just pretended to fall. I want to go to the east wing to investigate. Please cover for me."

Chaolu understood and nodded vigorously.

Yan Ciwan deliberately raised his voice: "It hurts!"

Chaolu cooperated and continued, "You twisted your tendon, luckily you didn't hurt your bones. I'll rub it for you and it will be fine. Just bear with the pain."

Yan Ciwan cried out in pain as he approached the left door and pushed it, only to find that a wooden bolt was inserted on the other side of the door and it could not be pushed open.

She grasped the hilt at her waist, pulled out the sharp Ning knife, then inserted the thin blade into the crack of the door and fiddled with it bit by bit.

The wooden bolt behind the door was unbolted.

After a while, the door opened.

　Wujiu is Xiao Wang's pen name. It's not a misspelling. This was already written in the second chapter when the hero and heroine met for the first time and introduced themselves. I know you forgot it. It's okay. I will remind you.
