Song Junyan listened to the information summarized by his subordinates and always felt that there was a detail he had overlooked.

He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, the spiritual light flickering and difficult to capture.

What's the problem?

He rubbed his brows hard, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an idea. He could only suppress the strange feeling in his heart and prepare to sit back at the table to continue reading the files.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the room, and his men hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Master, the two girls from the Lu family and several other young masters and girls have come out of the dungeon. Do you want to invite them over?"

"Let them do what they want."

His heart was entangled with the inspiration that had refused to emerge completely. His mind was a little confused and he didn't want to see anyone at this moment.

The subordinate was about to go back and report after receiving the order when Lu Xinran's name subconsciously appeared in his mind.

Lu Xinran, system!

The spiritual light that had been shy and refused to reveal its true face suddenly came out.

He knew something was wrong!

Because of Wang's Gu breeding, the Zhang family's property has always been very thin.

The previous few times when Wang and Lu Xinran were in the same space, she was unable to hear her voice. As her grandson, Zhang Yuqi had even less money than Wang.

Even Wang couldn’t hear it, so how did Zhang Yuqi know that Lu Xinran had a system and could let others hear his thoughts?

If Lu Xinran wants to find out other people's secrets, he must first know their names. This is an unspoken secret among everyone.

Even if Zhang Yuqi accidentally learned that Lu Xinran had a system that could detect other people's secrets, how could he know the details?

So... there is another murderer behind this?

This inference made him feel anxious again. Zhang Yuqi should be one of the links, and there must be another mastermind behind this.

Lu Xinlan, who walked out of the dungeon, suddenly realized this from the conversations of the people around her. Her face changed instantly, and she quickly walked towards Song Junyan's office room under Lu Xinran's puzzled and worried gaze.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid Zhang Yuqi has also been used or instigated by someone. I'm worried... he has disappeared now."

Lu Xinran's melon-eating system doesn't even let the dead go. If the person who instigated and used him doesn't want to be exposed, the only option is to make him disappear completely.

"I have sent people to the Zhang family to look for him, and I have also sent more people inside and outside the city."

This case is co-organized by the Dali Temple, and if there is a shortage of manpower, we can ask Tang Quyan for help.

If we still can't find the person, we can only find a way to let Lu Xinran go to Zhang's house to dig out some more secrets.

Lu Xinlan returned to the group with a heavy heart, and when he looked up, he met Lu Xinran's concerned gaze.

"Did something happen?"

During this period of time, she discovered that Lu Xinlan only treated Song Junyan as a colleague, while Song Junyan's attitude towards them sisters... well, for some reason, she always felt that the way he looked at her was more complicated.

Since these two had no intention of following the plot of the original book, she felt completely relieved.

It's just that it's not just this kind of love between men and women. She went to see Song Junyan alone and was worried. It was obvious that there was a new situation in the case.

Thinking of this, she also became nervous.

"I just heard someone say that there is a new clue. Lu Gaorong mentioned a name in a daze on the way back to Beijing. His Highness asked someone to check and found that the man was indeed suspicious. Now they have arrested him."

"That's a good thing, why are you still doing it?"

Looks very unhappy...

In just a few months, the girl in front of him had become sensitive to details.

Lu Xinlan was relieved and tried to explain casually.

"It's a good thing. I'm just afraid that our previous action of gathering outside the government office might alert the enemy. I just went to find His Highness to talk about this matter."

"It doesn't matter if we alert the enemy! Don't worry, sister. With me here, we will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible."

The sooner she catches the person, the sooner she can recover her health points.

It would be best if I could get another year~

The system in my mind was yelling in a baby voice, "Come on!" Once I get five years, I can upgrade again!

Cui Shenglin and his companions listened to their entire conversation. Thinking that they might have done more harm than good before, Cui Shenglin quickly asked someone to find Song Junyan and ask if he needed any help.

They are the most "famous" dandies in the capital. They are good at riding horses and playing with birds. There is nothing in the capital that they don't know.

They offered to help, and Song Junyan was not polite to them. Without waiting for his men to come back to report the news, he asked them to send the servants out to find out whether Zhang Yuqi was close to those people.

Also, where has he appeared during this period of time, especially in the last few days? If he disappears, who might be responsible?

Cui Shenglin and his companions received the task and were eager to try. They felt that there was new fun to join in, so they ran out of Shuntian Prefecture with their servants.

Lu Xinran looked at them and realized belatedly that Zhang Yuqi might have been used by someone.

"So what can we do?"

It is not appropriate for girls like them to run around the capital with servants like Cui Shenglin and his gang.

Lu Xinlan turned his head to look in the direction of the dungeon, Tian had not come out yet.

But with Lu Xinran's system in place, the suspect's family can no longer make much progress in the case.

"Let's go back to the palace and wait for news. His Highness will send someone to tell us if there is any new progress."

Zhang Shuier followed the two sisters out of Shuntian Prefecture, and suddenly slapped her forehead before parting.

"I almost forgot that my eldest brother and Sister Tang's wedding date has been set. It will be in February next year."

One of the two families was looking forward to the new bride coming home as soon as possible, and the other was afraid that the emperor would suddenly grant Tang Wanrou a marriage to be the prince's consort, so both the engagement and the marriage were arranged in a hurry.

Lu Xinran thought that after Zhang Kaiji and Tang Wanrou got married, one of them would do embroidery in the house while the other would grow flowers and grass in the yard, and she felt that such a scene would be very interesting.

"Congratulations to your brother and your family for us first. If there is anything you need help with, please let us know."

Lu Xinlan always spoke the polite words. When Zhang Shuier nodded happily, Lu Xinran suddenly asked a question.

"What about you, is there still a chance for you and your cousin?"

She asked directly, and it happened at the market, which made Zhang Shuier, who was not mentally prepared, blush instantly.

"Marriage is always a big deal..."

"I know, it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. I know your mother and your grandmother will make the decision on this matter, but what about you? Don't you have any ideas at all?

"It is you, not them, who will spend the rest of your life with the chosen person.

"You are too embarrassed to talk about it. What if you regret it after being bullied in the future?"

Zhang Shuier's face turned even redder when she was asked, "Don't say it, I, I don't know."

She turned around and walked away quickly. Lu Xinran looked at her somewhat panicked back and sighed.

"Let's go. Her family isn't in a hurry, so don't be in a hurry either. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives hears it, they might think she hates getting married."

A woman's reputation is very important.

Lu Xinlan held her hand, and the two of them went all the way until they got into the carriage. Only then did Lu Xinran speak softly.

"I'm not worried about her, I'm... worried about ourselves."

They will be sixteen next year and it's time to get engaged.
