Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

"What about the Imperial Sword? Where did that thing come from? Have you watched too many TV dramas? This is something I carry with me. When I'm investigating a case and I encounter Prince Li or Prince Liang looking for trouble, and no one can help you, this sword can serve to intimidate them. They recognize this sword!" The emperor glared at Yi Lei unhappily!

"Oh! Uncle, why don't you make a real imperial sword to kill the tyrants and the treacherous ministers!" Yi Lei said as he drew out the sword and waved it in front of his eyes!

"Boy! Am I a tyrant? Pointing this sword at me?" The emperor wanted to just throw this boy out and behead him! He wanted to behead the tyrant and the treacherous ministers! I'll behead you first! This is treason!

"Hehe! I was just joking!" Yi Lei smiled at the emperor flatteringly!

"This is a bit like you used to be! I haven't adapted to your changes since I came back!" The King of Chu, who had not yet had enough of the bickering, actually missed Yi Lei's naughty look when he was a child!

------------

Three days have passed, and everything has changed subtly! But——

King Yan did not take any action to investigate the case, because he knew that Yi Lei was investigating and he should avoid suspicion, so he did not ask about the case at all! Looking at Xin Yan who was crying all day long, he could only comfort her silently!

Yesterday, Prince Yan went to visit Lu Sijiao again. After he came back, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. When he walked into Lu Sijiao's house, he saw that she didn't look like she had lost her husband at all!

She seemed a little flustered when she suddenly appeared, which was very different from the day when she cried bitterly and accused Mingzhe of killing Guo Jun. What on earth was going on? The King of Yan was puzzled. How could a woman who had just lost her husband less than five days ago be so cheerful and chatting with the guards in the palace, and even... "flirting".

That's right, it was flirting! The King of Yan never dared to use such words to describe his daughter's behavior that he saw yesterday! However, the facts were clear, and it seemed that his daughter's marriage to Guo Jun was really unfortunate! It was all his fault that he did not find a good husband for his daughter, which led to this situation today. His daughter became a widow, and perhaps she had already been a "loose woman"!

The King of Yan felt as if his head was about to explode! When did the once beautiful and charming daughter become so vulgar? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that his daughter would boldly sit on the guard's lap under such circumstances... The scene from yesterday kept appearing in front of his eyes, and the King of Yan couldn't help but feel nauseous!

In the firewood room of the Prince of Jin's mansion, Ah Fu received a confession with fingerprints from the prisoner, and happily ran to the lakeside residence to give it to Yi Lei. After reading the confession, Yi Lei just smiled and said nothing more. He put away the confession and left with Fu Lu Shou.

Arriving at a farmhouse in the suburbs, a simple and honest farmer sat opposite Yi Lei.

Yi Lei took out several portraits and asked him to identify them. The farmer looked at them carefully, picked out one and handed it to Yi Lei, pointing at the person in the portrait and said, "It was this man who took Xiang Lian away that day! Xiang Lian originally lived in the Shangshu Mansion, and later went to the Liang Wang Mansion. Later, she came home and said that in half a month she would marry into the Guo Mansion and become Guo Jun's concubine! I thought that my sister who was sold into slavery by my parents would finally have her happy ending, but who would have thought..." The low sobs made the farmer speechless.

"Are you sure the person in the painting is the one your sister saw before she died?" Yi Lei asked. These portraits were a small part of the suspects he had questioned before, and he needed to confirm them again.

"Yes, absolutely! Xianglian came back that day and gave me some silver, saying that after she married into the Guo family, she would make sure our family lived a good life. She also said that she had made an appointment with a nobleman from the Guo family to go burn incense together. Who knew that it would be the last time we met!"

"Did that person also come here with your sister?" Yi Lei continued to ask.

"No, only my sister came back alone."

"Then how did you meet this person?" Yi Lei did not miss any details.

"Xianglian said she was going to burn incense, but she forgot to take the Buddha statue she was planning to consecrate back home! The master who was going to consecrate the Buddha statue had been traveling around and only came back recently. It was not easy to ask him to consecrate it, so I chased after him with the Buddha statue! When I got there, I saw that my sister was with the nobleman in the portrait!"

"What time was that on the day of the incident?"

"noon!"

"So it means your sister is only half an hour away from death?"

"Yes!" The man looked at Yi Lei and asked again: "Could this be the murderer?"

"I don't know!" Half an hour is enough to kill someone, but other variables may also occur. Yi Lei pondered...

The farmer was protected by Yi Lei. The identification of the portrait and the confession were already in hand. Human evidence was equally important!

"The two have surfaced! But they will never give out the person behind the scenes. Only when the person behind the scenes is safe, they will be safe! Yi Lei thought with a headache. He must find a breakthrough. There are still eleven days left! He must find it!

When he arrived at Guo's house, Yi Lei met Lu Sijiao, who was wearing mourning clothes and sitting in front of Yi Lei with a sad expression.

"Prince Lei! How is the case going? You must catch the murderer to comfort Guo Jun's spirit in heaven!" Lu Sijiao said, tears streaming down her face.

"Actually, I saw my brother kill Guo Jun with my own eyes. I am the best witness. But since everyone wants to investigate, I really can't say much. After all, one is my husband and the other is my biological brother. I am really in a dilemma!" Looking at his cousin who has superb acting skills, Yi Lei can't help thinking, if he hadn't known that she was the murderer, he would have been deceived by her sad look!

"Don't worry, cousin. I have found the murderer who killed Xianglian. I believe the truth will be revealed soon!" Yi Lei carefully observed Lu Sijiao's expression, and sure enough, Lu Sijiao was just as he expected!

"What?" Lu Sijiao's hands trembled slightly, "Have you found the person who killed Xianglian?"

Looking at Lu Sijiao, who was panicking and had a slightly changed expression, Yi Lei knew clearly that Xianglian's death was closely related to Lu Sijiao!

"Yes, but I don't want to report this to His Majesty at the moment. I want to give her a chance to surrender herself!"

"Turn himself in! Haha! Indeed! It would be best if the murderer turned himself in!" Lu Sijiao's lips trembled slightly.

"Okay, cousin, look at how you look now. Perhaps you have been overworked recently and your face looks so haggard! Go and have a rest! I will visit you another day." After Yi Lei finished speaking, he immediately got up and left!

"Okay, I'll take you there!" Lu Sijiao also followed Yi Lei out, but just as she was about to walk out of the hall, she suddenly stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, Yi Lei supported her in time!

Noticing that Lu Sijiao's hands were cold, Yi Lei remained calm and just smiled and said, "Cousin, don't send me off. You need to take good care of your body!"
