Ning Buyi opened his eyes and saw a person wearing a government uniform sitting beside the bed.
Tong Yu was dozing off, when she heard a light cough, she woke up suddenly, and turned her eyes, Ning Buyi woke up! Tong Yu's complexion brightened, and he said quickly, "Master Ning! Are you awake?!"
Ning Buyi coughed twice again, after a closer look, the place was very simple, it was actually a Datong shop, plus there was a Tong Yu, Ning Buyi suddenly realized that this place should be the office of the yamen.
Ning Buyi nodded slightly, but felt that his throat was very dry and painful, and when he moved a little, his chest suddenly hurt again. Ning Buyi touched his bandaged chest, and his face became dazed for a moment.
Tong Yu hurriedly said, "Ning everyone, don't worry, I'll call someone right away!"
Tong Yu got up and ran out from the classroom to the back hall of the yamen. Inside, Zheng Baishi was talking to Yan Chi and Qin Wan. Tong Yu said, "My lord! Your Highness! Ning everyone is awake! Princess! Ning everyone is awake!" Already!"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, Yan Chi got up, and headed towards the classroom first, and when he arrived in the classroom, he saw Ning Buyi trying to support himself at a glance, Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Everyone, Ning, don't move."
Ning Buyi heard the words and continued to lie down. Seeing so many people there, he couldn't help being slightly surprised, "His Royal Highness, Princess, Master Zheng... You... I am..."
Yan Chi walked to the bed, "Master Ning went to deliver paintings to the third son of the Wu family yesterday?"
Ning Buyi panicked a little, nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "That's right."
Then Ning Buyi was at a loss, "I...how could...my injury..."
Yan Chi said, "Tell us first, what happened after you delivered the paintings every day."
Ning Buyi frowned and thought for a while, his eyes changed slightly, "Yesterday... I went to find the third son of the Wu family as agreed, and I handed in the painting first, then... then I sat down to drink tea and talk, I... didn't say a few words, I I felt dizzy in my head, and then lost consciousness... This is... "
Zhan Yang stepped forward and said, "Master Ning, you were killed by the third son of the Wu family. The third son of the Wu family is the murderer of the serial murders in the capital. He lied to you because he wanted to kill you."
Ning Buyi shrank his pupils, "How is this possible?!"
Zhan Yang said, "Ning and everyone don't want to believe it, but we caught the third son of the Wu family yesterday on the spot. Now, he is already in our prison. Your injury was caused by the third son of the Wu family. He wanted to dig out of your heart."
Ning Buyi was surprised and bewildered, as if he hadn't reacted yet, Zheng Baishi stepped forward and said, "You won't be able to figure it out for a while, even if we didn't expect it to be like this, you should rest at ease and heal your injuries, fortunately your injuries It’s not serious, the princess personally healed your injuries yesterday.” After a pause, Zheng Baishi said, “But I still have something to ask Ning.”
Ning Buyi hurriedly said, "My lord, may I ask—"
Zheng Baishi said, "Master Ning, did you have someone you liked before?"
This heart-digging hell punishes those who are not loyal to love, or those who betray their hearts. If they do not commit these two points, it is not in line with the murderer's purpose.
Ning Yi heard the words, but his face was still full of bewilderment, "This, not really..."
Qin Wan frowned slightly when he heard this, "Where's the daughter of that uncle Ning?"
Having said that, Ning Buyi remembered, "Oh, but that's not the person I admire, it's just that I failed her friendship..."
Zheng Baishi looked at Qin Wan, and Qin Wan said, "When I went to the art gallery to buy paintings, I met Master Ning and that girl. The girl seemed to be very hesitant towards Master Ning, but Master Ning was not very enthusiastic. Later, I asked, and everyone in Ning said that the girl's family did not agree with them, so he had no choice but to refuse."
Zheng Baishi's eyes lit up slightly, "If that's the case, then it's in line! I'm afraid that the third son of the Wu family will find out and misunderstand, thinking that everyone in Ning has become a heartless person."
Qin Wan didn't doubt it when she heard the words. After all, when she and Yue Ning saw it, she also thought that Ning Buyi was sorry for the girl, so Zhan Yang continued, "So, it will be solved this time. Fortunately, we arrived last night In time, if not in time, the lives of everyone in Ning may be lost."
Ning Buyi still couldn't accept it, "But... the delivery of the painting was arranged a long time ago, and the third son Wu and I have no grievances or enmity..."
Zhan Yang sneered, "Ning everyone doesn't know that this third son of the Wu family kills people, but he only kills people who have committed bad karma, no matter whether he has hatred or not. This ordinary person has become his target without knowing it. "
Yan Chi said again, "That house is the third son's residence? Why did he ask you to send the paintings there?"
Ning Buyi said, "I don't know who owns the house. He sent someone to tell me to go there. He bought paintings to decorate the house. I didn't ask much about other things—"
Ning Buyi pursed the corners of her lips, and wanted to say something, but was speechless for a while.
Zheng Baishi said quickly, "It seems that you don't know anything, it's all right, it's not bright yet, you lie down first, and we will send someone to the shop later to say, Ning everyone should recover from their injuries in the next two days."
Ning Buyi nodded, Zheng Baishi turned to look at Yan Chi who was beside him, "His Royal Highness, shall we meet Wu Yu?"
Yan Chi nodded, Zheng Baishi left Tong Yu behind, and they walked out.
Yan Chi rushed to see Ning Buyi originally because he wanted to ask about what happened to Ning Buyi yesterday, but he didn't expect that Ning Buyi would faint soon after arriving, and he didn't know anything else. If that was the case, then he was going to meet Wu Yu .
At this moment, the sky was not yet bright, and everyone stayed up all night. The men and others were okay, but Yan Chi was a little worried about Qin Wan. Zheng Baishi and the others walked in front, and Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan one step behind and said, "Can you hold on? Do you want to go back and rest first?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "I still have a lot of doubts about this case, let's see what Wu Yu has to say first."
Yan Chi stopped talking, and took Qin Wan to the Yamen jail together.
In the prison, Wu Yu sat on the ground as if blindfolded. The cell was pitch-black except for a dim light at the end of the corridor. Wu Yu never knew that the cell was like this. He yelled After screaming for a long time, his voice became hoarse, and his whole body collapsed from exhaustion, so he fell down and sat on the ground. After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard at the end of the corridor.
Wu Yu raised her head abruptly, and soon saw Yan Chi and Zheng Baishi walking over with someone.
Wu Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up and walked to the prison door, clutching the wooden railing with one hand, Wu Yu shouted, "Master Zheng! Your Royal Highness! I really didn't do this!"
Yan Chi was not in a hurry to answer, and when he got closer, Yan Chi looked Wu Yu up and down for a moment.
"You always say you didn't do it, so tell me, how did Ning Buyi get hurt?"
Wu Yu was about to cry, "I don't know, I passed out too, when I wake up it will be like this..."
Zheng Baishi said, "The third son is good at carving seals?"
Wu Yu pursed her lips, not knowing why Zheng Baishi asked this question, and neither nodded nor shook her head, as if weighing things up. Seeing him like this, everyone naturally became more suspicious. After a long while, Wu Yu said, "Yes, I used to learn Carved seal."
Zheng Baishi and Zhan Yang looked at each other, and Zhan Yang said directly, "Then where did you kill Wu Qian?"
Wu Yu gritted her teeth, "Fourth brother and I are brothers! How could I kill him?!"
Zhan Yang frowned, "It seems that the third son still doesn't plan to say anything?"
Wu Yu held the wooden pillar fiercely, "What can I say?! That house is really what I want to rent! I asked Mr. Ning to send paintings over, just to decorate the house with the paintings he sent. Me and He has no hatred, why do you want to kill him? I don't know what dojo you are talking about... "
Wu Yu said with a wry smile, "Master Zheng, Chief Zhan, we also know each other. Are you arresting the wrong person, or are you unable to solve the case and want to use me?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Yang and Zheng Baishi's expressions changed, Zhan Yang stepped forward and said, "Third Young Master, it's not easy to talk now, it seems that we have to take Third Young Master to the place of torture."
After going to the torture room, torture was about to begin, Wu Yu frowned, "Zhan Butou, it's not that I'm disrespectful, it's really... I'm not the one who hurts people... I can't do anything about the questions you ask me." answer… "
Zhan Yang said, "I've seen so many criminals, and every one of them said this when they were making excuses. The third son can ask questions, but you were caught by us! We It has been known in advance that the murderer committed crimes in the market area that night, but now that the night has passed, only the third young master and everyone in Ning have an accident. It is conceivable that the murderer's target is the Ning family, and the third young master will not say that the murderer has been lurking early. Did you kill people in your house?"
"The third young master went to the yamen yesterday morning, but he was nowhere to be seen in the afternoon. When did the third young master arrive at the mansion? Did you make arrangements in the mansion to take everyone's lives?"
Wu Yu smiled bitterly, "I did resign early yesterday. I didn't bring anyone with me, so I just wanted to go and see the house by myself. I... how could I think of killing people..."
Wu Yu hesitated to speak, and his appearance was obviously concealing something. Zheng Baishi made a decisive decision and ordered someone to take Wu Yu out of the cell and take him to the place of torture. You caught the wrong person! The murderer is still at large, but if you do this, it will cause a catastrophe! Show arrest, Mr. Zheng!"
Wu Yu was held hostage by two government officials and led to the torture room, where Qin Wan frowned slightly.
Zheng Baishi said, "Your Highness, princess, it seems that Wu Yu will not confess for a while, but it is too late now, why don't you two go back and rest first? If a habitual offender like Wu Yu, just I'm afraid that even if torture is used, it will not be so easy to tell the truth, we are afraid that we will spend some time on him-"
It was almost dawn, and Yan Chi had to go to the Ministry of Punishment after dawn. Seeing Wu Yu's tone was not loose, he also felt that Zheng Baishi's words were reasonable, so he nodded, "In that case, I will send the princess back first."
Qin Wan nodded beside him, "Okay, since that's the case, Wu Yu will leave it to you, and I'll go first."
After resigning from Zheng Baishi and Zhan Yang, Yan Chi and Qin Wan walked outside together, and when they walked out of the dark corridor of the cell, Yan Chi said, "Wu Yu's flashy words are indeed suspicious, but Wu Yu was arrested this time. But it was a little easier. The last time Feng Zhang was attacked, the murderer escaped, and Wu Yu was the last to be seen. If Wu Yu did the murder this time, would he simply call Ning Buyi to this house? Last time The murderer knew that the Yamen was setting up defenses around him, so it was easy for him, but this time he was too reckless, although there was no patrol battalion to impose martial law this time, the murderer must know that the Yamen has not relaxed."
Qin Wan nodded, "That's right, but he happened to be caught by the yamen. Wu Yu's suspicion is certain. I saw just now that although his words were flashing, he was very firm when he denied his crime. It was only two times in a row that he It was all involved, which also made me unable to be sure whether his firmness was true or not."
Speaking of Qin Wan, he said again, "I never expected that the victim this time would be Ning Buyi."
Yan Chi also said, "It's really surprising. Is his injury different?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "It is true that he fainted from taking medicine, and the wound on his body is also real, and when we went in, his wound was fresh, that is to say, when we were about to go to that house, The murderer's hand."
"In this way, the murderer must be Wu Yu. When we went to the house, Bai Feng was already there, and there were many of us around. If anyone escaped, they would definitely be found."
Qin Wan nodded, "When we opened the courtyard door, Wu Yu heard the movement, and then rushed out of the door, but didn't want to be bumped into by us, so... it makes sense, but it's a bit stupid."
How anxious was the murderer to come out from the main entrance
Although it is impossible for the murderer to be exhaustive every time, there is indeed something suspicious about what happened this time.
Leaving the prison, the two of them could see the sky above them as soon as they raised their heads. The darkness before dawn had passed, and the sky at this moment was a deep blue color. Closer, shoulders touching Qin Wan's shoulders, blocking the cool wind blowing from his direction.
Yan Chi continued, "Wait for the news of the interrogation here. Although Wu Yu insisted that it wasn't her, it's not so easy for ordinary people who are insane to admit it. It's too late now, so I'll send you back first."
Qin Wan nodded, "That's all."
Qin Wan originally suspected Ning Buyi, but Ning Buyi was almost killed. Who would doubt a victim? And Wu Yu was arrested, so many eyes watching, can be said to be the best evidence, if Wu Yu can't say anything useful, or prove that these murders have nothing to do with him, then this charge, he Almost committed! Even if he hurt Ning Buyi and it has nothing to do with this case, then his hurtful incident cannot be easily cleared of the crime—
After leaving the government office, Yan Chi and Qin Wan got into the carriage together.
With a long arm in his arms, Yan Chi hugged Qin Wan into his arms. Qin Wan was really cold, Yan Chi said, "We'll wait until there's news from the yamen. I'm afraid I won't have time to come here today."
Qin Wan nodded, "Don't worry, I know."
The carriage moved slowly, and Qin Wan also felt sleepy and exhausted. Leaning on Yan Chi's warm embrace, he fell asleep unknowingly. When the carriage arrived in front of the Hou Mansion, Qin Wan was still sleeping with his eyes closed. To be safe, Yan Chi saw how Qin Wan's sleeping face was willing to wake her up, so he leaned against the car wall and did not move.
Qin Wan didn't wake up until his neck was a little sore. Looking at it this way, the sky outside the window was already bright!
Qin Wan couldn't help but helplessly, "Why didn't you call me—"
Yan Chi hugged Qin Wan, and said with a smile, "It's still early, you are willing to sleep in my arms, I can't ask for it, what are you doing to wake you up..."
Qin Wan snorted softly, and sighed, "You still have to go to the Ministry of Punishment, so I will delay you."
Yan Chi really didn't want to stay any longer, so he told Qin Wan a few words before leaving, Qin Wan straightened his robe, and then went to the mansion.
Qin Wan stayed up all night, went back to the mansion to wash and slept for a while, and when he got up, it was almost noon, just after noon, but Meng Yao came to the mansion, Qin Wan and Meng Yao hadn't seen each other for many days, Qin Wan hurriedly invited Meng Yao in After leaving Songfengyuan, seeing Qin Wan's complexion a little bit bad, Meng Yao quickly asked what happened, Yue Ning briefly explained what happened last night, Meng Yao clicked her tongue!
"Everyone Ning is really safe and sound, just a little bit!"
Qin Wan nodded, "No, it was just a little bit close, but fortunately he was rescued, so don't worry, I know you and him have some old acquaintances."
Meng Yao smiled, "He just painted for our house."
Talking about it, Meng Yao said as if thinking of something, "Speaking of Master Ning, I do remember something."
