Cypress Boat Floating

These five people died at different times within these two months, and the timeline is not consistent. According to the clues found by the Dali Temple, the so-called common pattern is that everyone died of poisoning.

However, in ancient times when testing was not well developed, it was difficult to find out whether they were really the same poison.

Ye Jianqing maintains a certain rigor and will not make immediate judgments on anything he is not clear about or uncertain about.

"The Dali Temple has been investigating for such a long time and hasn't found any clues. Now it has become an unsolved case." Lu Ci Qiu's face did not look very good. After two months of confinement, the baby fat on his face faded, and he did not look as immature as before. But now he is not as introverted as the one Ye Jianqing knew in her previous life. The sharpness that is about to burst out reminds her all the time that this person is not a little lamb in a pen, but a wolf hidden under the flock.

"The Shinto House has been appearing frequently recently. Could this case be related to the Shinto House? Or is this the first step taken by the Shinto House?"

Lu Ci Qiu's guess was reasonable. After all, the God's House was put on a grand show when it was born. But no matter how they checked, the God's House did not move at all, as if it really was just the residence of gods that could satisfy human wishes as the people said.

But Lu Ci Qiu and the others knew that the God's House must be more than just this. The reason why it didn't move for the time being was probably not because it didn't move, but because it couldn't move. Or maybe its plan was even bigger, so big that they couldn't find it.

Ye Jianqing did not quite agree with Lu Ci Qiu's statement. The deaths of these five people were most likely caused by deliberate poisoning by others, or it was possible that others imitated the crime. There are many possibilities, and they cannot be generalized and attributed to the God's House. Doing so will mislead them and make their thoughts go down another wrong path.

Ye Jianqing said: "We can't be too arbitrary and attribute the deaths of these five people to Shenwu. Indeed, the appearance of Shenwu has put a lot of pressure on us, but we haven't figured out who is behind Shenwu and what their main purpose is. They are in the dark and we are in the light. If we keep letting them lead us, we will be more likely to fall into the conspiracy they have created for us."

The result of being led by the Shinto House will only make them fall into other bigger conspiracies unknowingly. If this matter has nothing to do with the Shinto House, they will just keep chasing after the Shinto House and the culprit will only go unpunished.

"These five people are just ordinary people. What is the inevitable connection between them and the Shrine? Who is the biggest beneficiary of their deaths?" Ye Jianqing picked up the information of these people again and started reading it, but it was obvious that her two questions could not be answered here.

The information shows that they have never been to the shrine, nor have they had any contact with it, and neither have the people around them.

These people are farmers. Killing them will bring little profit. Not only little, but it will also easily cause trouble for yourself. So what is the benefit of killing them?

Ye Jianqing herself couldn't figure it out. She was indeed a little lacking in investigating cases. She was just trying to follow what Lu Zhixing taught them.

"What did your second brother check?"

Lu Ci Qiu's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a helpless bitter smile. His second brother didn't give him any clues at all. Apart from giving him these files, he didn't say a word and let him investigate on his own.

"Uh......"

Silence is the pavilion tonight.

The two looked at each other, both with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

"My head hurts~~" All roads were blocked and Lu Ci Qiu felt like his head was about to explode.

Ye Jianqing looked at him helplessly and amusedly: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself, there is still time, take your time to investigate. It's not just you. I don't know much about solving cases. Since you plan to work in the Ministry of Justice in the future, you have to learn, gain experience, and grow.

We will make progress together, instead of just relying on your second brother to protect you. In this way, you will not be a carefree prince like in your previous life, but obviously, you don't want to, don't you? "

Ye Jianqing's words touched Lu Ci Qiu's heart.

Yes, it was because of his experiences in his previous life that he did not want to be an idle prince like in his previous life, watching his second brother not knowing whether he was dead or alive in a foreign land, and watching his mother die in the palace while he was powerless to do anything.

"By the way, can you lend me your curfew sign? I have to go out for something tonight." Seeing that the atmosphere in the pavilion was becoming increasingly heavy, Ye Jianqing quickly spoke up to break the heavy atmosphere. They needed time to grow, not time to worry about nothing.

"Where are you going?" Although Lu Ci Qiu was confused and asked another question, when Ye Jianqing opened her mouth, his first reaction was to take out the things and give them to her.

"Go and settle accounts with certain people. Do you think I can't do anything to them because they cheated me?" Speaking of this, Ye Jianqing became furious. The gentle smile on his face that was originally directed at Lu Ci Qiu changed instantly. The gnashing of teeth on his face made Lu Ci Qiu feel a chill on his back.

Needless to say, Lu Ci Qiu also knew who the 'certain people' that Ye Jianqing was talking about. He rubbed his nose silently and didn't dare to say a word. Ye Jianqing's strength and intelligence were more than enough to deal with him. What's more, that 'certain people' was beaten up last night and was probably still lying in bed unable to move.

Just knowing is one thing, but worrying is another. He wanted to go with Ye Jianqing and lend a hand, but Ye Jianqing didn't quite agree.

In Ye Jianqing's view, the incident between him and Liu Miao was a personal vendetta. If it was a personal vendetta, a prince like Lu Ci Qiu should not be allowed to appear.

He could help her behind the scenes, but he couldn't show up at this time. On the one hand, Ye Jianqing didn't want Lu Ci Qiu to have any evidence against him. If someone used this incident to hurt Lu Ci Qiu in the future, it would be a loss for both of them.

On the other hand, Ye Jianqing has learned a lot of dirty tricks over the years. Although she may not be able to use them, she doesn't want Lu Ci Qiu to know.

Lu Ci Qiu thought about it and agreed to let her handle the matter herself. Trust is needed between two people. He can't restrict Ye Jianqing's actions in the name of worry, nor can he force Ye Jianqing to take him with him.

She is a free, brave, and independent person. She is just herself, no matter before or now. Now the two of them are tied together only because they are in the same situation. The idea of ​​cracking the infinite rebirth supports Ye Jianqing to look for clues beside himself who has no freedom.

In this situation, Lu Ci Qiu really had no way to force Ye Jianqing to take him with him. He could only ask Ye Jianqing to protect and take care of himself.

The street across from the palace was bustling with activity. The Ghost Festival was just a few days away, and all kinds of Ghost Festival gadgets were set up on the streets. Everything seemed full of life and bustling with activity.

All the conspiracies and intrigues are buried under this harmony, and until the time comes, everyone must cooperate with this scene.

However, at the border far to the north, a small corner of this harmony has been lifted, and the hidden darkness has begun to reveal itself. Some people have been forced to be involved in this conspiracy that they could not even expect without knowing it.
