When Xiao Mubei saw her stop, he also stopped and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't make noise, I seem to have thought of something, but it disappeared in an instant." Chu Yunxi tilted her head and closed her eyes, trying to catch the thoughts in her mind, but she couldn't.

Xiao Mubei really stopped talking. Chu Yunxi thought hard for a while and said, "My Lord, please say what you just said again."

"I said that Lin Haifu is my fifth brother, Prince Anyang's man, and Wan Tang of Zui Chunfeng should be my fifth brother's spy."

"Prince Anyang." Chu Yunxi slapped her head. "I was just wondering who in the capital has masters around them, good at both martial arts and martial arts. Does every prince like you have such people around you?"

"That's right. All princes have secret guards around them. Qinggong is the most important for secret guards, followed by martial arts. If your martial arts are too poor, you can't become a secret guard. The other is the guards. Not only the princes, but also the important officials of the court usually have a few guards with high martial arts skills, just like Baiyu Heimu. Therefore, the murderer of Yan Haosong is most likely these guards or secret guards, and they must have someone behind them."

Chu Yunxi agreed, "Your Highness, what I heard the most today was Prince Anyang. Yan Haosong used the wrong medicine in the palace, causing Prince Anyang's mother, Concubine Rou, to be in a coma for five days. Yan Haosong was killed by a master. Lin Haifu is very good at Qinggong and martial arts. Behind Lin Haifu is Prince Anyang."

Chu Yunxi drew a circle with her hand, "Your Highness, do you think that if Lin Haifu is the murderer, this matter is closed?"

Xiao Mubei thought about it and realized that it was true. "But at present, all this is just speculation, there is no evidence."

"Let's investigate Lin Haifu first." Chu Yunxi's eyes were burning. This person had to be investigated sooner or later.

That night, Bai Yu "accidentally met" Lin Haifu one street away from Zui Chunfeng.

As members of the Langya Army, Bai Yu was extremely surprised to meet him in the capital. "Deputy General Lin, it's really you."

Lin Haifu's expression changed, and he immediately acted as if he was surprised, "Bai Yu, long time no see."

Bai Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, why didn't you come to the palace to find us after you came back?"

Lin Haifu showed a sad look, "My brothers are all gone. I feel so heartbroken whenever I think about it. I heard that the prince was also seriously injured. I... really feel guilty for not protecting him well."

Bai Yu said: "This is not your fault. If you want to talk about fault, I am the prince's bodyguard. If the prince is injured, I am to blame."

"You can't say that..."

Before Lin Haifu could finish his words, Bai Yu put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't say that. Today is my day off. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's go get drunk."

"No, Bai Yu, I have something else to do, another day..."

"Why change the day? Since we have met, it must be God's will that we brothers get together. Nothing is more important than drinking with brothers. Are you afraid that your sister-in-law will scold you? Don't worry, I will go and apologize to your sister-in-law tonight."

Lin Haifu had no choice but to be dragged by Bai Yu to Xingsheng Building and to a window seat on the second floor. Bai Yu opened the window and said, "This is the best seat in Xingsheng Building. You can drink and enjoy the scenery. We are lucky today."

As he spoke, Bai Yu ordered a few of Xingshenglou's signature dishes and asked for two jars of good wine, as if he was determined not to leave until he was drunk.

Your Highness, I have risked my life, should my monthly salary be increased?

Opposite the window was the private room of Xiaoxiangju. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi hid in the dark and saw the situation on the opposite side clearly. They even didn't want to miss Lin Haifu's expression.

After three rounds of drinks, Lin Haifu and Bai Yu were both drunk. Lin Haifu didn't want to leave anymore. He reminisced about the past with Bai Yu, talking about the wars on the battlefield, and the days when the brothers drank and ate meat together in the barracks. As they talked, they talked about life after returning to Beijing.

Bai Yu sighed, "After the prince recovered from his injury, he was assigned the job of the Dali Temple. He needs to investigate cases all day long. This has been very hard on me and Hei Mu. Brother, you know, we are all soldiers and warriors, how can we investigate cases? The prince doesn't know how to do it either. Just a few days ago, a doctor died in the middle of the night. He was murdered, and the case was reported to the Dali Temple. Yesterday, several bodies were found in the river outside the city, and they were reported to the Dali Temple again. There are so many cases piling up, and I don't know what to do all day long. I have no clue at all."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he raised his head and drank another glass of wine. He seemed to be complaining, but in fact his eyes were fixed on Lin Haifu. He noticed that when he talked about Yan Haosong's case, his hand that was originally picking up food suddenly stopped, and the food was also picked up by him and stopped there in mid-air. When he talked about the body found in the river, his expression changed several times.

Something is definitely wrong!

Bai Yu couldn't help but admire Chu Yunxi in his heart. She actually guessed this. It seemed that the wine he drank was not in vain this time.

Lin Haifu was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had lost his composure. However, he saw that Bai Yu was just complaining and drinking alone and didn't notice him, so he felt relieved and put the dish on the plate in front of him.

Little did he know that everything wrong with him was not only seen clearly by Bai Yu, but also by Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi on the opposite side.

"There is indeed something wrong with this Lin Haifu, which means that there is something wrong with Prince Anyang," Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei, "Prince, why do you think he suddenly wanted to kill Yan Haosong after so many years? Did he fail to find him before? Or is there something else going on?"

Xiao Mubei didn't know either, but he felt that it was time for them, the brothers, to get back together.

"I should go see my fifth brother in the next two days." Xiao Mubei picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all.

After Bai Yu and Lin Haifu had their fill of wine and food, they walked out of Xingsheng Building shoulder to shoulder. Bai Yu insisted on sending Lin Haifu home, saying that he wanted to apologize to his sister-in-law.

Lin Haifu had drunk a little too much, and said with a thick tongue: "Apology, what crime should I apologize for? Men, go out to eat and drink, and women can't control it. I go out every day, every day, and I'm in danger. What did she do? She's suspicious all day long. When she comes back a little late, she asks me all kinds of questions. There are some things that a woman like her can't understand?"

Bai Yu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Well said, brother. How can women understand our men's affairs? But speaking of which, brother, do you often come home late? Is there something going on outside..."

Bai Yu was hinting at something, Lin Haifu patted his hand and said with a smile: "Nonsense, brother, I am not good at that, you know, it's just that I have been busy recently and ignored that woman, it's okay, it's okay, I will coax her back later."

Bai Yu was afraid of revealing his identity by saying too much, so he stopped talking. The two of them parted ways at the entrance of Xingsheng Building and went their separate ways.
