Chapter 68 The Murderer
The young man looked at the pure and charming brows of the girl in front of him, and felt as if there were thousands of wriggling threads crawling around his limbs, pulling at his thoughts and limbs like threads, making him unable to help but feel an inexplicable desire.

He squeezed his fingers together, the pain keeping him awake.

Countless times, I had envisioned the scenario of skinning her and convulsing her, but the reality was... I was afraid to even touch her.

"You win, as you wish!"

After a fight, Zhu Yan finally gave in. After wiping away the scarlet blood from his lips with his fingers, he stood up expressionlessly.

The large and gorgeous clothes were stained with large swaths of scarlet, and the silver butterfly embroidery seemed to absorb the vitality in the blood, becoming more and more vivid.

"Come on, change clothes!"

The door was pushed open, and Magistrate Xie was still kneeling on the spot tremblingly. Liu Rang followed Zhu Yan into the inner room with his head lowered.

After lingering for a long time, Lin Susu waited outside and yawned continuously. She had the illusion that her gender had been swapped with Zhu Yan's.

When he finally changed into a light purple silver embroidered brocade robe and came out, Lin Susu almost fell asleep.

Zhu Yan stepped out of the threshold and walked away slowly. Magistrate Xie was still lying on the ground with a confused look on his face. Lin Susu leaned over and tugged on his sleeves, signaling, "Hurry up and lead the way!"

Seeing Lin Susu walking out of the hall, Magistrate Xie was even more confused. He stood up and followed everyone in a daze, his steps as vague as stepping on clouds.

Miss Lin and Prince Li really have a close relationship!

For some reason, he suspected that Miss Lin had done that cry of pain just now...

In the government office, several people, led by Magistrate Xie, inspected the bodies of the three victims one by one. Indeed, as Magistrate Xie said, the girls in their twenties and eighties had rosy faces and smiles at the corners of their mouths, as if they were unwilling to wake up after a fight. Passed away intoxicated in the beautiful dream.

Magistrate Xie was still explaining on the side, "The other murdered girls were all young ladies from wealthy families, and the victims were unwilling to send their bodies to the Yamen for autopsy. Only these three girls, their families reluctantly agreed after receiving money."

After saying that, he sighed again, "Poor child."

"The life is cut off, how vicious it is!" Lin Susu sighed and closed her eyes, unable to bear to look at it anymore.

Their consciousness was immersed in the illusion, and their bodies were drained of energy by the poisonous insects. Someone should be practicing evil arts!
After coming to this conclusion, Lin Susu glanced at Zhu Yan. He had no expression on his face and looked very indifferent.

"Have you found anything?" Lin Susu asked.

Zhu Yan glanced at her and said calmly, "Peach Blossom Gu can make people fall into illusions and dreams, and then suck the vitality of the human body. The power stored in the Gu will eventually be transferred into the body of the person who planted the Gu to help him recover his skills."

"The murderer should be a Gu master who once released his gong."

Dispersing Guo Master...

Lin Susu's pupils shrank, and her head exploded with a bang.

Crow once said that when Wu Nu rebelled against the clan, she was punished by the punishment of dispersing her power!

Zhu Yan was keenly aware of Lin Susu's abnormality, and couldn't help but curl his lips and smile, with undisguised evil in his eyes, "What? Could the murderer be an acquaintance of yours?"

Lin Susu rolled her eyes at him, and Magistrate Xie stepped forward to ask, "Does Miss Lin have any clues?"

Lin Susu thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure if it's her. The tutor was murdered before, and my friend and I were almost involved..."

She recounted everything about Wu Nu's previous affairs, and Magistrate Xie listened attentively while stroking his beard.

Finally, he took over the topic and said, "Gu Rushuang's family is indeed famous in Zhongdu. His ancestors were the founding officials of the country, and they were also awarded kings with different surnames. It's a pity that the descendants are not living up to expectations, and each generation is not as good as the last!"

"However, no matter what, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, the Gu family is not considered noble. But in Zhongdu, the Gu family is a family that can make this place tremble with just a stomp of their feet!"

Speaking of this, Magistrate Xie was a little puzzled, "With such a family background, why did Miss Gu practice Gu or use such cruel methods?" Lin Susu shook her head, "It may not be her, she told me personally today , I no longer remember it!"

After saying this, she was startled again. In the original plot, Wu Nu was Nanyu's right-hand man. In the later period, she had obviously regained her power as a Gu master and was even stronger than before!
However, the method she used to restore her skills was not explained in the original plot. Thinking about it, the male protagonist in the original book is the light of righteousness, and Wu Nu is indirectly his subordinate. This bloody and cruel method to restore her skills is entirely possible. Blurred by the plot!

Lin Susu raised her eyes and spoke firmly, "It seems that Gu Rushuang or not, it is very necessary to visit her!"

If it really wasn't her, maybe we could get some clues from her, which would be better than just sitting here waiting for the murderer to commit another crime!

Magistrate Xie hurriedly said, "But I need to send someone..."

Lin Susu waved her hand to interrupt, "Don't get involved first, so as not to alarm the snake. Besides, if Gu Rushuang is really the murderer, most of the government officials are ordinary people. If they go there, doesn't it mean they will die in vain?"

Magistrate Xie glanced at Zhu Yan and said cautiously, "Then...who is going?"

Lin Susu hugged her chest and took a step forward, "Of course I... will go with His Highness Prince Li!"

Zhu Yan's cool eyes fluttered past her, and Lin Susu gave him a false smile without caring.

"Your Highness, let's go!"

After speaking, Lin Susu took the first step.

Magistrate Xie knelt down in panic and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness!"

"..."

Why is this official becoming more and more unpleasant!
Zhu Yan glanced at Magistrate Xie coldly, making him shrink even more like a quail.

Dusk has arrived, and the sky is covered with large expanses of orange-red glow, illuminating the entire sky and earth like a rich and colorful painting.

Looking at Zhu Yan who was falling not far behind Lin Susu, the system hesitated.

"With this unwillingness, are you sure he will help you?"

Lin Susu smiled slyly, "I don't expect him at all! Do you understand that the fox is pretending to be the tiger? The tiger is just a trick by the fox to prop up the show!"

"..."

The system is a little hard to explain. The buff was given to Lin Susu so that she could get close to the villain so that she could influence him!

We didn’t let this bastard enslave the villain!

"I am friends with your lady, please let me know!"

The Gu family is an aristocratic family and has always prided itself on being noble. The ordinary clothes may not be noticed by the servants. For this reason, Lin Susu also spent a lot of money to buy a set of fashionable cloud and matte silk clothes. The upper body of the good things is naturally extraordinary. The material is light and soft, and it really feels like being enveloped in smoke.

The servants have the most vicious eyes. When they saw Lin Susu's valuable clothes, they immediately did not dare to neglect them and asked someone to entertain her at the door. Then he hurried in to pass the news.

It didn't take long for him to come out with an apology on his face, "I'm sorry, Miss Lin is here by chance. My lady went out to Guangming Temple to pray for blessings early this morning, and she hasn't come back yet."

"Oh?"

Lin Susu smiled meaningfully, with a dignified and polite look on her face, "In that case, I will come to visit you another day."

Amidst the repeated apologies from the servant, Lin Susu turned around with a smile, and her face suddenly collapsed as if her expression changed.

"The murderer is her!"
