When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

As if he wanted to confirm something, Lin Lezhi read it over and over again.

After his eyes moved back and forth across the river formed by the fog three or four times, his expression became more and more solemn as he confirmed it again and again, and there was a hint of unbelievable astonishment mixed in that solemnity.

Because the emotional changes on Lin Lezhi's face were too obvious, Xiao Yihuo easily captured the emotions in Lin Lezhi's eyes and where his gaze was.

however.

Following Lin Lezhi's gaze, he did not find anything unusual.

But it's just a unique landscape created by the fog.

Xiao Yihuo's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression also became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "But what did you think of?"

After hearing what Xiao Yihuo asked, Lin Lezhi stared at the stream-like mist for a while before retracting his gaze and said, "Nothing, I was just shocked by the scenery. Let's go back and call others over."

"it is good."

Although Lin Lezhi said this, the expression on his face did not look like he was shocked by the scenery. Instead, he looked like he had something heavy on his mind.

During the time the two of them went back and forth and brought everyone back here, most of the fog on the mountain had dissipated.

The two of them shared the clues they found with everyone one by one.

After explaining the findings here, while everyone was thinking and discussing, Lin Lezhi's gaze fell several times towards the mountains where there seemed to be a river winding through.

The mountains are clustered together and the terrain there is low, so the fog is not easy to disperse.

Looking at the mist floating between the mountains, Lin Lezhi's eyes showed a thoughtful look, his gaze was solemn and focused, and those mists seemed like difficult problems to solve.

After repeated consideration, Luo Zhifeng suggested going down the mountain to look for Guan Ziheng's body first to see if any decisive clues could be found on the body before making any inferences.

"What does Detective Jiang think?"

Luo Zhifeng asked for Lin Lezhi's opinion, interrupting Lin Lezhi's thoughts.

Lin Lezhi came back to his senses and had no objection to Luo Zhifeng's arrangement. He said, "Brother Luo is absolutely right. I will do as you say."

Once the decision was made, Cheng Su explained some matters to a subordinate, and they all walked down the mountain road towards the place where Guan Ziheng fell.

Before leaving, Lin Lezhi silently carried his and Guan Ziheng's bags.

The mountain road was rugged and no one had walked on it for more than ten years. The road was covered with weeds, and one had to be careful of snakes in the grass, so it was very difficult to walk. It took almost an hour before we finally reached a relatively flat terrain.

Along the way, Liu Yunhe seemed to have something to say to Lin Lezhi. His eyes followed Lin Lezhi from time to time, but he did not dare to move forward.

Finally reaching flat ground, everyone's tense mood was visibly relieved.

He Yu took a few quick steps, but when he was almost next to Lin Lezhi, he became cautious and at a loss. He followed behind Lin Lezhi and wanted to speak but held it back.

After talking for several times, He Yu let out a long sigh. Finally, he mustered up the courage and took a few quick steps to catch up with Lin Lezhi. He said, "Brother Le...Lezhi, no...that...Jiang...Jiang Guitan...I...I..."

Even though he mustered up the courage just now, when he really opened his mouth, he was still so flustered that his words were incoherent.

Meng Dafeng, who was following behind the team, couldn't help but hold his forehead and shake his head repeatedly just by looking at He Yu's stiff body movements.

Lin Lezhi glanced at He Yu, then lowered his eyes and said, "Brother He, just say whatever you want to say."

Although there was no emotion in Lin Lezhi's voice, it was precisely the lack of emotion that made it impossible to judge Lin Lezhi's attitude towards him. This made He Yu even more flustered and at a loss as to how to start talking. He stammered and was unable to utter a word.

Lin Lezhi looked at He Yu again, took a deep breath, and tried to relax himself as much as possible. Then he looked at He Yu and said slowly: "Brother He, you didn't do anything wrong. You just told the truth. That's what you should do."

Listen and.

He Yu's heart felt like it was stabbed hard, making him unable to move.

For a moment, he forgot to take a step and just stood there.

After realizing that he had opened up a distance between himself and Lin Lezhi, he quickly reacted and caught up with Lin Lezhi.

He came here just to apologize to Lin Lezhi.

Last night, if he hadn't said in front of everyone that Guan Ziheng was the one who sold the books, perhaps Guan Ziheng would not have been treated as a suspect, excluded, and would not have been killed.

I didn't expect that Lin Lezhi could see through what I was hesitating to say. Moreover, Lin Lezhi didn't mean to blame me, but comforted me instead.

This made He Yu feel even more remorseful and guilty.

He Yu didn't dare to look at Lin Lezhi. After laughing awkwardly for a few times, he lowered his head and said in a weak voice: "I'm sorry..."

He Yu's words were full of self-blame and guilt.

"Brother He, you don't need to apologize, and you don't need to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. The one who should be held responsible is the murderer."

Seeing the determination in Lin Lezhi's eyes while he was speaking, He Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

It was the first time he saw such a serious emotion on Lin Lezhi's face, and he exuded a sharp aura that made people tremble.

Before Guan Ziheng got into trouble, Lin Lezhi always gave him the impression of being open-minded and easy-going.

But it was precisely because of this that he admired Lin Lezhi, who was able to remain calm and rational in grief, and also felt ashamed of himself.

Then, He Yu lowered his eyes and said in a shameful tone: "I came here to apologize, but...I let you comfort me instead. Before...it was also thanks to Jiang Guitan that I was able to cheer up again."

Although he was still a little panicked, he calmed down a lot after hearing Lin Lezhi's words. He Yu mustered up the courage to look at Lin Lezhi, his eyes revealing seriousness as he said, "Although I can't figure it out and can't sort out the intricacies involved, I believe that Brother Guan must have nothing to do with this case. I will definitely help Detective Jiang Gui find the murderer, clear Brother Guan's name, and seek justice for my dead brothers."

Lin Lezhi could see that He Yu wanted to comfort himself.

Hearing He Yu say that he believed Guan Ziheng had nothing to do with the case did give him some comfort and relief in his complicated thoughts.

Lin Lezhi's somewhat tense and stiff expression relaxed a little. He turned his gaze to He Yu with determination in his eyes. He said "hmm" lightly and nodded with a smile.

“Ah! Ghost… ghost!”

As they were walking forward, a terrifying scream suddenly came from the back of the team, which instantly made everyone present feel nervous. They all stopped and looked towards the end of the team with panic and vigilance.

I saw.

Zhou Yuanliang, who had been following the team slowly due to his disabled legs, now fell to the ground with horror on his face, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying. His face was as pale as paper and he was shaking all over.

There was a hand covered in mud and blood strangled at his ankle.
