A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances - Chapter 91

Government Office Study Room

Dan Yu Lan was just about to open the folder, Lu Jin was standing at the gate, he said in a low voice: “Daren, Prime Minister Lou and Madam are already here.”

Lifting his head up, Dan Yu Lan looked at the sun who was already slanting to the west, he answered: “Hurry and invite them in.” He thought that Qing Ling would not come today, who would have thought that she would come with Prime Minister Lou together. It seemed that even though there was still 25 days from the deadline time, however, the Emperor was already losing his patience.

“Yes.” Lu Jin went out for a moment, then he took Lou Xi Yan and Zhuo Qing to come in, he came back with Cheng Hang who just came back from investigating the case . He appeared to be very curious about Zhuo Qing, once he heard that she came, he immediately and hurriedly came over.

Dan Yu Lan got up to welcome them, cupping his hands and he said: “Pay respect to Prime Minister Lou, Madam.”

Lou Xi Yan smilingly answered: “Dan Daren, it is not necessary to be too polite, the Emperor hopes that you can solve this case as quickly as possible, he has ordered me to help you to solve the case promptly.”

It was indeed like that, Dan Yu Lan’s complexion was the same as always, he simply answered faintly: “Many thanks to Prime Minister Lou.”

“Dan Daren is too polite.” Lou Xi Yan was also accustomed to this empty response.

Zhuo Qing turned around and rolled her eyes, within the bureaucracy, every time they met each other, they would exchange this empty conventional greetings! Waving her hand, Zhuo Qing who was somewhat impatience, interrupted their words: “Ok la, do not speak too many conventional greetings like this, directly talk about the subject! Apart from the time of the first deceased’s time of death, it was already one month, what doubtful points did you discover?”

Lu Jin and Cheng Hang looked one glance at each other, both of them pursed up their lips tightly, and did not dare to utter some laughs. This Madam was indeed a quick person with some quick words, she did things on her own ways, but what kind of people were Dan Yu Lan and Lou Xi Yan. Facing Zhuo Qing’s impatience, both of them did not show any embarrassed appearance. Dan Yu Lan’s complexion was still the same as always, looking towards Cheng Hang who was bowing his head to laugh, he said: “Cheng Hang, you speak next.”

Suddenly hearing his name, Cheng Hang lightly coughed and pushed down his smiling expression, hurriedly raised his head, and seriously answered: “There are two biggest questions now, I have not been able to figure out all along, all of the deceased’s rooms, the door and the windows are closed securely. After the murderer killed the person, how did he leave after all, could it be that he could fly to the sky to escape? Furthermore, we have not understood the murder technique that this murderer is using. How did he accomplish making the deceased unable to struggle free without tying them, and looking at him helplessly when the murderer took out their hearts and left!?”

Lou Xi Yan’s brows lightly knitted, this case was indeed thorny, one month, Dan Yu Lan unexpectedly had not figured out the murder’s technique of the murderer, this one month period, he was afraid that it was useless.

Lu Jin continued to say: “During the investigation, we found afterwards, that there were several common grounds for all the three deceased, first, they were all at the thousand silk pavilion to order the embroidered silk fabric for their clothing. Second, during this time, they were all learning the zither from Su Mu Feng, and third, the inside of their rooms had sandalwood fragrances.”

They suspected Su Mu Feng! Zhuo Qing and Lou Xi Yan looked one glance at each other, Lou Xi Yan smiled and said in a low voice: “Dan Daren, we ran into Su Mu Feng on the road a moment ago, we have discovered one very interesting thing.”

“What is it?” Making Lou Xi Yan to call it an interesting discovery, he was somewhat curious also.

“When he sees any blood, he will faint.”

Cheng Hang lowly called out: “Is there something like this?” He would faint when he saw any blood? What kind of strange illness was this?!

Zhuo Qing lowly smiled, and explained: “This is very normal, the majority of girls will somewhat feel sick when they see blood, only relatively not too serious. The probability of the men who have blood phobia is probably small, but there is some men who have this phobia, he definitely has the kind that is more serious.”

“Is it possible that he will pretend to feel sick when he sees blood?” Lu Jin had heard that there was someone who was afraid of blood before, but when they thought that he was suspicious, he just happened to meet Prime Minister Lou by accident, and he had blood phobia?

Zhuo Qing shook her head, with a heavy voice, she answered: “The possibility is not big, his complexion was pale a moment ago, his limbs were cold, it did not look like he was pretending. Moreover, according to the Su family servant’s explanation, Su Mu Feng’s illness is from childhood.”

From childhood?! Since it was like this, or the Su’s family was lying, or there was already a proof, Su Mu Feng could not be the murderer. It seemed that they found one breakthrough with a great difficulty, but they had to declare failure again!
