"Shut up, stop talking."

If Qu Yuanxun didn't gamble with Lin Lin, maybe the case would be solved if the person was caught this time, but Lin Lin might die.

He had anticipated that Lin Lin would be in danger, but he had never thought that she would lose her life. Now it was far different from his expectations.

He used a large number of manpower to protect Lin Lin, and as long as the murderer entered the yard, he would catch her.

But the murderer was very smart. He disguised himself as Lin Lin, making it impossible for his men to tell the real from the fake.

Only then was Lin Lin placed on the knife stand.

"Master Qu, I'm asking you one last time, let me go, or else..."

As she spoke, her dagger moved closer to Lin Lin's neck. There was no bleeding, but it looked scary.

"Okay...I promise..."

The detectives sighed, but had no choice but to make way for the murderer.

The woman pulled Lin Lin out of the hospital, but her eyes were always observing Qu Yuanxun and the road conditions on both sides.

As long as she passes this area, Qu Yuanxun's men will not be able to catch her, and she has more important things to do.

When they reached a safe place, she pushed Lin Lin forward and ran away herself.

Seven or eight constables followed in pursuit, but in the darkness, they didn't know if they could catch up.

Seeing Lin Lin being pushed and almost falling, Qu Yuanxun dropped the sword in his hand and put his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Seeing that the person in his arms was fine, Qu Yuanxun's nervous heart eased a little.

"Mrs. Lin, are you hurt?"

He held Lin Lin in his arms and looked around.

Lin Lin felt uneasy and pushed Qu Yuanxun away: "I'm fine, Master Qu!"

The moment Lin Lin pushed Qu Yuanxun away, Qu Yuanxun realized that he had crossed the line. It was not appropriate for men and women to touch each other. He was too anxious and acted impolitely.

"Excuse me, Madam Lin, I didn't mean it."

Both of them were a little embarrassed. Lin Lin was still a little shocked and said, "It's okay!"

Fortunately, at this awkward moment, the constable who was chasing came back to report.

"Sir, the murderer has been lost."

"Master Qu, that woman took the black feather jade. She will definitely attack others."

Lin Lin told Qu Yuanxun about the theft of the black feather jade. Now in this murder case, they only knew that the murderer was a woman, and knew nothing else.

"Let's think of another way. This plan was oversimplified. We need to be more rigorous next time."

They had finally solved the case, but now they could find nothing. Everyone in the county government was in a heavy mood.

"We've alerted the enemy. It won't be easy to catch him next time," said Lin Lin.

This murderer is so cunning. He knew that Qu Yuanxun and the others were there, but he still managed to enter his courtyard and take away the black feather jade right under their noses. Such a person is not a simple person.

"Then does Madam Lin have any other ideas?"

Seeing that Lin Lin could still remain so calm, Qu Yuanxun subconsciously asked this question.

Lin Lin walked up to Qu Yuanxun and stretched out her left hand in front of him. At first, she didn't feel anything, but as Lin Lin got closer, he smelled the fragrance of pollen.

"This is the juice of the Lingrui flower. The scent is light but long-lasting. If you don't smell it carefully, you won't even notice the scent.

Just now, I secretly smeared this liquid inside the hem of the woman's clothes and her hanging hair. Don't you have dogs in the county government? Try it..."

Because of the incident of the black feather jade in her yard, Lin Lin noticed that the previous owner of her yard had left behind some other rare flowers and plants.

Although they were half dead, they were kept alive by her.

She also specially checked these flowers and plants, and found out that each of them was very rare. The original owner might really have had something to do, so he left them here to fend for themselves.

The place where they were standing was almost at the gate of the county government office. Qu Yuanxun asked someone to bring the dog raised by the county government office over.

A capable and strong dog was pulled out. After Lin Lin let it sniff the scent in her hand, the big dog barked twice, and then walked towards the street, sniffing all the way.

Qu Yuanxun didn't expect Lin Lin to prepare so much for his case. She also prepared for all possible mistakes.

Her method was even more thorough than what he had done. Qu Yuanxun originally only had pity and guilt for Lin Lin, but now he also felt admiration for her.

"Leave a few people here to protect Madam Lin, and the rest of you follow me."

Late at night, almost all the people in the county government office were mobilized. The four people who died in this case had become the biggest case in the county government office.

The dog had a very keen sense of smell. It chased Qu Yuanxun and the others all the way until they stopped in front of a vermilion gate, barking non-stop.

Qu Yuanxun looked up at the top of the gate and saw the words "Wangfu" written on it.

This is Wenzhu County, the large courtyard of Mr. Wang. He owns several farmlands and three orchards. He is a well-known landlord in Wenzhu County.

Even if one is very wealthy, there are gains and losses. Mr. Wang has a bad reputation and his descendants are not prosperous.

Although he had many wives and concubines, he only had a pair of children, and his son gave him a grandson.

But this grandson finally grew to the age of seven, and he was a person who could die at any time.

To this end, Mr. Wang tried many methods, including those to bring good luck, those to exorcise evil spirits, and he also tried folk remedies and consulted countless doctors, but none of them worked.

A month ago, I heard that he had died. Because he was a child, the funeral was held in a low-key manner.

"Sir, this is Mr. Wang's courtyard."

The dog in the county government office kept barking at the vermilion gate, which meant that the smell was in this yard.

"Tell the palace to open the door, and we will go in and search."

A constable went to knock on the door, and soon an old man opened the Wang family's door with squinting eyes.

The old man, who was still yawning with his mouth wide open, suddenly woke up when he saw that people from the county government were outside the door.

"My lords, what's going on?"

The constable said with a cold face, and showed the constable token issued by the government to the old gatekeeper.

"The county magistrate is investigating the case personally. He suspects your palace is harboring the murderer and is conducting a thorough investigation according to the rules."

The government had said so, and the old gatekeeper had no power and could only allow people from the county government to enter the Wang family's yard.

He then asked someone to call the master and other owners of the Wang family.

Following the dog into the door of a room, Qu Yuanxun pushed the door open and the dog followed in, finally stopping in front of a wardrobe.

The constable opened the wardrobe and found the clothes worn by the murderer who had escaped.

The government's commotion was so loud that it soon alarmed everyone in the palace. Old Master Wang was over seventy years old, and the entire Wang family was still in his hands.

Mr. Wang Fugui, forty years old, had just lost his son.

There is also my younger sister-in-law Wang Youyue, who has returned home as a widow and is also living in her mother's home.

The courtyard was packed with maids and old women.

"Master Qu, why are you bringing so many people to my house in the dead of night? What's your intention?"
