Pretty Fool's Live Clearance in Infinite World
Chapter 242 Cloud City 29
"There is an important clue that Jiang didn't tell you at first." Jiang Shen raised his eyelids and glanced at the Liu family.
Jiang Shen tilted his head slightly, gave an unobtrusive look to the adjutant beside him, then elegantly picked up the exquisite teacup on the table, gently brought the rim of the cup to his lips, and carefully took a sip of the fragrant tea.
The adjutant understood what the man meant. After receiving the man's eye contact, he quickly stepped forward and explained with a serious expression, "During our in-depth investigation of the crime scene, we were surprised to discover that the shoes that Mr. Liu had been wearing had mysteriously disappeared."
He paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "However, due to the sudden rain yesterday afternoon, the ground outside the back window of the new house became unusually wet. It was because of this that we were able to discover a set of shoe prints on this damp ground that were exactly the same size as those worn by Master Liu."
The adjutant paused briefly, looking up to observe the reactions of those around him. Seeing that everyone was listening intently with bated breath, he continued, "What's even more bizarre is that these footprints extend straight to a quiet path behind us, and then disappear without a trace, as if out of thin air. And the direction this path leads to is exactly where the main hall of the Liu Mansion is located."
After the adjutant finished reporting everything, he hesitated for a moment, first glancing quickly at the silent Liu Qingmu from the corner of his eye, then added in a low voice, "Furthermore, after a careful examination by the coroner, it was concluded that the time of Mr. Liu's death almost perfectly coincided with the time of the Second Young Master's departure."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Everyone present couldn't help but gasp, and then began to whisper to each other.
Someone looked suspicious and whispered, "Could it really be the Second Young Master? He usually looks so gentle and refined, it's really hard to believe..."
Others shook their heads and sighed, saying, "Alas, as the saying goes, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who can truly tell whether this person's heart is red or black?"
For a moment, all kinds of speculations and discussions were heard one after another, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Qingmu.
Jiang Shen glanced at Liu Qingmu and said slowly, "So, the second young master is indeed more suspicious. However, there is one thing that is very strange."
"The footprints on the rear window are of different depths, with the right foot being significantly darker."
When Lin Qi heard this, he always felt something was wrong. Although all the evidence pointed to Liu Qingmu, precisely because of this, he did not think that Liu Qingmu was the murderer. The clues were too obvious.
The boy's fair little hand rested on his chin, his delicate face wrinkled, his brows tightly furrowed, his beautiful eyes slightly blank, he was lost in thought as to what exactly was going on in this murder case.
Jiang Shen immediately noticed the soft, sweet, and pretty girl, so he put down his teacup and said, "It's getting late, everyone, go get some rest."
Jiang Shen glanced at his adjutant and said, "Go and arrange accommodation for everyone."
Then, Jiang Shen's men took the guests to the guest rooms one by one. Madam Liu also stood up at this time and left the hall gracefully like a noble peony.
Liu Rongxun also wanted to get up and take Lin Qi back, but he didn't expect Jiang Shen to suddenly walk up to the young man and said to him, "Young Madam, Jiang has a few things to confirm with you. Do you have time?"
The man had an exceptionally handsome face and a polite smile on his face. When Lin Qi saw the man approaching her, she immediately stood up from the stool, staring at him with her beautiful eyes.
"What's the matter..." Lin Qi asked in a low voice with his head down.
"This is a private matter, it's inconvenient to discuss it here." Jiang Shen leaned over and whispered in Lin Qi's ear, "Let's discuss the customs clearance."
When the young man heard this, he stared at the man with round eyes. After a moment, he pinched the corner of his clothes and said in a low voice: "Since Marshal Jiang has something to discuss, I am naturally willing to cooperate."
"I wonder what the Marshal wants to say? May I have the honor to join you?" Liu Rongxun also walked over at this moment and said to Jiang Shen in a slightly cold tone.
"Since there's one more Qingmu, I'm sure the Marshal won't mind." Liu Qingmu also came over to join in, adjusted his glasses with his slender fingers, and looked at Jiang Shen with a smile.
"Since my elder and second brothers are going, I want to go too." Liu Xuanying immediately ran to the young man and stuck to Lin Qi like a big dog.
Seeing this, a vengeful kid moved aside angrily, not wanting to pay any attention to Liu Xuanying.
——Hey guys, five people, is that okay? Hahahaha
——No, Jiang Shen just wants to be alone with his wife, why are you three getting close to him? Hahahaha
——That’s right, my wife won’t be able to eat it.
Upstairs? Something's wrong with you!
——My wife really dislikes Liu Xuanying hahahaha
......
"Three young masters, this is something that Jiang wants to ask the young lady alone, so there is no need for you to join us." Jiang Shen looked at the three shameless people who also wanted to follow, and the man's handsome face gradually became gloomy.
"Eh? Marshal Jiang, the young wife you are talking about is our stepmother! You and her are alone here, a single man and a single woman, which really makes us, the younger generations, feel uneasy!" Liu Qingmu said these words with a stern face and righteous words, as if he was right.
He paused, then continued in a natural tone: "You know, my father passed away not long ago, and my stepmother just married into our family not long ago."
"As the saying goes, 'Father dies...sons take over'. We brothers will definitely do our best to take care of stepmother. We will definitely serve her well and comfortably!" When the man said the last few words, he deliberately dragged out his words, which made the young boy's face blush.
After saying this, Liu Qingmu turned around and looked at Liu Rongxun, who had been standing silently beside him, and asked with a smile, "Brother, don't you agree?"
Liu Rongxun nodded slightly to show his agreement. His narrow eyes were fixed like a hawk on the young man in front of him whose face was already flushed.
"No, no need. Marshal Jiang wants to talk to me because of the master's matter. Don't think too much!" Lin Qi's face was rosy at the moment. He pursed his pink lips tightly and quickly retorted.
The more he listened to Liu Qingmu's words, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't put his finger on it. What was the meaning of "father dies and son inherits" and "being served comfortably"?
