Liu Xingzhu's face was filled with pride, and the eyes of Zheng Boying, Zhang Zheng, Shen Lanting, and Liu Ruhui had varying degrees of surprise.

"Mother, Jing Huan will only obey your teachings." The Ninth Princess said coquettishly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." loud shouts came.

When the people heard the sound and saw who it was, they gave way.

Liang Meng and others looked at it.

"This is an official from Jinshui City." Shen Lanting said.

"How come Jinshui City officials gathered together anxiously at this time?" Liu Ruhui asked.

"It seems something must have happened?" Zheng Boying said.

"Guess it's not a trivial matter, otherwise why would we gather together and rush to one place at night." Zhang Zheng said.

"Ruhui, Lanting, go and ask what happened?" Liang Meng ordered after listening to everyone's analysis.

"Yes."

Liang Meng looked at Shen Lanting and Liu Ruhui who went to inquire. When they came back, they had incredible expressions on their faces.

Liang Meng thought to himself that something big had really happened.

"What happened?" Liang Meng asked.

"If I tell you, Master Lin was killed," Liu Ruhui said.

Everyone was shocked when they heard about the murder of Master Lin.

"what?"

"Master Lin was killed." Liang Meng asked.

What was Liang Meng thinking in his mind? Master Lin was actually killed. This is so bloody.

"Follow the Ai family and have a look. Who dares to kill a court official in full view of the public?"

When Prince Gong's son and grandson died, Liang Meng could guess that it was the emperor's mother and son. When Pei County officials were killed, Liang Meng could guess that it was because a wealthy family had used deception to confiscate land in order to silence them.

But Mr. Lin was killed, and Liang Meng couldn't help but think of the night pearl given by Mr. Lin, and quickly denied that official corruption was not necessarily related to death. He had no thoughts for a while, so he still wanted to see the scene.

Everyone went to Master Lin's crime scene.

"Is this Baihua Pavilion?" Liu Ruhui asked.

Liu Ruhui saw Zhang Zheng's serious look and said nonchalantly: "I wonder if Brother Zhang has been to Baihua Pavilion? If you haven't stepped into Ruhui, I will show Brother Zhang around."

"Zhang Zheng doesn't dare to indulge in the pleasure of not coming here, for fear of letting down Brother Liu's good intentions." Zhang Zheng said seriously.

"It's boring." Liu Ruhui said.

"Master Lin was actually killed in Baihua Pavilion?" Zheng Baiying said.

"Mr. Lin really agreed to the saying that if you die under the peonies, you'll be cool even if you're a ghost, hahaha." Shen Lanting said uninhibitedly.

The ladies who were listening to the words couldn't help but flushed their cheeks when they saw that it was Baihua Pavilion.

"The Queen Mother, in my opinion, it is inappropriate for so many ladies to be in front of Baihua Pavilion. Why don't we ask them to return home first?" Hongyu said.

Liang Meng also felt that it was inappropriate to have these ladies in Baihua Pavilion.

Then he said: "Ladies, please go back to your home first."

"Yes, I am resigning," everyone said.

"The Queen Mother, Xingzhu wants to go in and take a look, let Xingzhu go in." Liu Xingzhu said firmly.

"Queen mother, if sister Xingzhu wants to go in, then Jing Huan also has to go in." Jing Huan also insisted.

In Liang Meng's mind, there was a game between how ladies can enter the land of fireworks and why men can enter but why women cannot.

"In that case, let's go in!" Liang Meng ordered.

Liu Ruhui, Zheng Baiying, Shen Lanting, and Zhang Zheng were shocked by the Queen Mother's informality.

"Why are the young masters still standing there stunned?" Liu Xingzhu said when he saw the shocked young masters.

Jing Huan also followed: "Yes, what are the young masters doing standing there in a daze? Let's go."

Everyone restrained their shock and followed.

Entering Baihua Pavilion, Liang Meng saw that the officials had taken control of Baihua Pavilion. There was nothing frivolous about it, and Liang Meng felt relieved.

"This is the scene of an official case. Anyone not involved should leave as soon as possible."

Liang Meng and others were stopped by officials.

"You bastard, I'm going to die. Open your dog eyes and take a good look at this. This is the Queen Mother. You dare to obstruct her." Hongyu said.

"The Queen Mother." The official who stopped him quickly knelt down.

"The Queen Mother, please forgive me. The Queen Mother, please forgive me. This villain is too blind to see Mount Tai. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."

Seeing his men getting into trouble, a leading officer hurriedly came to him and bowed to apologize.

"Liu Si, the leader of the Jinshui City police force, is here to see the Queen Mother. I didn't know that the Queen Mother is here. Please forgive me for neglecting the Queen Mother." Liu Si said.

"It's okay, get up. The Ai family came here specially when they heard that Mr. Lin was killed. I'd like to trouble Officer Liu to take the Ai family there."

"Yes, please, Queen Mother."

"Liu Chaoyi, tell the Ai family what happened?"

Liu Si spoke slowly.

Mr. Lin is in charge of the armory of Jinshui City. He often goes to Baihua Pavilion to meet Miss Su Xin, and is Miss Su Xin's guest.

Girl Su Xin came from Anhai City under the jurisdiction of Wang Sun Dake of Dongping in the southeast of Dajin five years ago. Within a few months, she became the top star of Baihua Pavilion. She was highly sought after by the prominent people in Jinshui City. In the past three years, she was kept in captivity. The one who loves the girl is Mr. Lin.

As Liu Si narrated, he came to the room where Mr. Lin was killed.

What came into Liang Meng's eyes was a girl as beautiful as a flower and as gentle as water, with tears on her cheeks that made her look pitiful.

Seeing everyone coming up, he called softly: "Liu Chaoyi, can the slave family leave? I will be scared to death if I stay here."

"You can only leave after you explain clearly what you saw. How dare you behave like this here?" Liu Chaoyi said with an unnatural fake cough.

"I have met a noble person, and I will definitely tell you what I saw." When Su Xin heard the word noble person, she revealed a hint of coldness and shrewdness that did not belong to the land of fireworks, and was subtle and hard to detect, and then she said delicately.

"Miss Su Xin, don't be afraid, just tell me what you saw when Mr. Lin was killed." Liang Meng said kindly.

"Today's lantern festival, the slave family knew that Master Lin would not come for a while, so the slave family also went to the lantern festival to play. The slave family only did it in the wine shop for a while, and then saw Xiaocui, the maid next to Hua's mother, coming to tell Master Lin that he was here. The slave family was here. Then he hurried back to Baihua Pavilion.

When the slave family saw Mr. Lin, the master said that he had not eaten at the banquet and wanted to eat the food made by the slave family. The slave family went to prepare the food with his own hands. Master Lin loved the food made by the slave family the most and praised the slave family. "Girl Su Xin said with a proud look on her face.

"Who knows, who knows." Miss Su Xin said and burst into tears.

Liang Meng anxiously wanted to know what happened next.

"Unexpectedly, the guests in Baihua Pavilion saw Mr. Lin's shadow appearing on the door and window and slowly falling down. Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong. They rushed over and found that the door was locked and could not be opened at all. They asked Xiao Si When I opened the door, I found that Mr. Lin had wiped his neck and was lying on his back with a knife in his hand." Liu Chaoyi said.

Liang Meng, who understood the situation, asked, "What is Liu Chaoyi's opinion on Master Lin's death?"

"Replying to your Majesty, I suspect that Mr. Lin committed suicide," Liu Chaoyi said.

"Suicide?" Liang Meng couldn't believe that Master Lin committed suicide based on his impression of Master Lin at today's lantern festival, so he shook his head and said.

"The official will conduct a detailed investigation," Liu Chaoyi said.

When Miss Su Xin saw that the noble man in front of her did not believe that Mr. Lin had committed suicide, she thought about it nervously and became confident and calm.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Shen, Brother Zhang, Yi Ruhui has seen that there are indeed doubts about Master Lin's death. I wonder if you can compete with Ruhui to see who can solve Master Lin's case." Liu Ruhui said.

"What Brother Liu said is exactly what Bai Ying wants to find out the murderer of Mr. Lin as soon as possible so that Mr. Lin can be buried in peace as soon as possible." Zheng Baiying said.

"That's all Lan Ting, intelligence is not my strong point." Shen Lan Ting said in a nonchalant manner as always.

"Brother Lan Ting, please don't refuse." Zheng Baiying said.

"Who doesn't know that Brother Lan Ting is the most promising person in the Shen family? Don't pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. He is as wise as a fool." Ru Hui said, and punched Shen Lan Ting as a joke.

Shen Lanting smiled, as if it's not enough to just say okay, okay, I promise, I'm really convinced by you Liu Ruhui.

"Zhang Zheng, being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Zhang Zheng said calmly.

"And I, I also want to find out the death of Master Lin." Liu Xingzhu said excitedly.There are very few places to have fun in this era, but the excitement of investigating the case is so exciting that Liu Xingzhu will not let it go.

"Since Sister Xingzhu wants to find out the death of Lord Lin, then Jing Huan also wants to find out the death of Lord Lin."

Seeing everyone's interest in finding out the death of Mr. Lin, Liang Meng also said: "In that case, please trouble Officer Liu to open the door."

"Yes." Officer Liu ordered the officer to open the door.

The door was opened, and the room was filled with aroma and the lingering smell of blood. Master Lin's body had been moved out, and Liang Meng and others did not need to face the body directly.

Liang Meng checked the door. The door bolt was indeed broken due to the impact of someone outside. It seemed that the door was indeed closed tightly when Mr. Lin died.

Liang Meng saw a very thin silk thread on the door bolt. How could there be a silk thread on the door bolt?

"I saw Mr. Lin's figure falling slowly on the door and window." Liang Meng recalled what Officer Liu said, and slowly came to the door and window to check, but found nothing unusual.

Turning around, he saw the table with candles on it. Liang Meng walked towards the table. Why were there signs of burning?

Liang Meng observed the entire room and slowly formed an answer in his mind.

Why put Master Lin to death?
"Sister Xingzhu, did you find anything? Why didn't Jing Huan find anything?" Jing Huan said distressedly.

Xingzhu shook his head in distress.

"Mother, have you noticed anything wrong?" Jing Huan asked Liang Meng.

Liang Meng showed Jing Huan a thin thread found on the door bolt.

Everyone also looked over.

"Mother, where did you find this?" Jing Huan asked.

"On top of this door bolt." Liang Meng walked to the door and picked up the door bolt.

"Why is there such an almost negligible thread on the door bolt?" Jing Huan asked.

"This thread was not originally so thin." Zheng Boying said.

"Isn't it so detailed?" Jing Huan said.

"Brother Zheng said that the threads are so fine because of the rough surface of the wood." Liu Ruhui said.

"Does that mean that there was originally a thread tied to the wood, but due to the rough surface of the wood, such a tiny thread fell down?" Liu Xingzhu said.

"Yes, that's how it should be." Zheng Baiying said.

"Then why is there a thread tied to the wooden bolt?" Jing Huan said.

"I understand it is to close the door and create a scene where Master Lin is the only one." Liu Xingzhu said.

The crowd nodded.

"Didn't Mr. Lin notice that the door was closed? Won't he stop it?" Liu Ruhui asked.

"Brother Liu is afraid that it's not that Master Lin won't stop him but that he can't stop him," Shen Lanting said.

"Can't stop it? Could it be?" Liu Ruhui asked.

"Brother Liu's guess is good. Master Lin should be dead." Zhang Zheng said.

"Dead." Everyone said.

"But the guests of Baihua Pavilion clearly saw Mr. Lin fall and immediately went upstairs to check. They didn't see anyone leaving at this time." Liu Xingzhu said.

Everyone felt that Liu Xingzhu's question was right, and everyone fell into thinking.

"Everyone, please take a look." Zhang Zheng walked to the table and pointed to a burnt mark on the table.

"Burned table? What's wrong?" Jing Huan asked.

Zhang Zheng lit the candle on the table, put his hand in front of the candle, and saw the shadow of Zhang Zheng's fingers appearing on the window.

"I understand. It turns out that the murderer used candles to illuminate shadows just like Mr. Zhang." Liu Xingzhu said.

"Sister Xingzhu, no matter how clear it is, Jing Huan still doesn't understand." Jing Huan said distressedly.

"The princess candle can cast a shadow, so the murderer placed a human-shaped paper cut in front of the candle and the candle illuminated the figure and the figure appeared in the window." Zheng Baiying said.

"That's it." Jing Huan said.

"It turns out that the Mr. Lin that the guests of Baihua Pavilion saw was fake. Why did they create a fake Mr. Lin and the real Mr. Lin?" Liu Ruhui said.

"It's just to create alibi." Shen Lanting said.

"How to create alibi?" Jing Huan said.

"I understand that the murderer actually killed Mr. Lin a long time ago and then placed a candle and closed the door bolt. When the candle burned to the human-shaped paper cutout, people would enter the room and find that the door was locked from the inside, and they would speculate that Mr. Lin fell when everyone saw him If he dies and then finds the door locked when he goes to rescue him, he will think he committed suicide," Liu Xingzhu said.

Jing Huan suddenly realized.

The crowd nodded.

"Not bad." Liang Meng applauded after hearing everyone's analysis.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the compliment." Everyone said.

"Then who is the murderer?" Liang Meng asked.

"The murderer was the last person to come into contact with Master Lin." Liu Ruhui said.

"Miss Su Xin." Liu Xingzhu said.

"Miss Su Xin," Jing Huan said.

"Why is it Miss Su Xin?" Although he guessed the answer, Liu Xingzhu didn't want to believe it.

"All the speculations point to one person. Even if that person is the murderer, it is so unbelievable that it does not change the fact that he is the murderer." Liang Mengdao.

Liang Meng winked at Hong Yu.

"Liu Chaoyi brought Miss Su Xin over to ask the Queen Mother something," Hong Yu said.

Soon, Officer Liu brought the pretty girl Su Xin.

Liang Meng thought in her heart that it was hard to imagine that the seemingly frail girl Su Xin was actually the murderer of Mr. Lin.

Officer Liu began to interrogate Miss Su Xin.

The girl Su Xin, who remained weak and tender, put down her mask when she heard Officer Liu telling how he killed Mr. Lin.

The weak and tender girl Su Xin became calm and silent.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the change of temperament.

"Why did you want to kill Mr. Lin?" Liu Chaoyi asked.

"Why do you want to kill him? Just kill him. If you want to behead him, come and behead him. Anyway, I have long been tired of this world." Miss Su Xin sneered.

Faced with Miss Su Xin's attitude, Officer Liu didn't know how to interrogate her.

"Five years ago, you came from Anhai City and became the top leader of Baihua Pavilion a few months later... I understand that you want to leave Baihua Pavilion and start your life again. I know that your life in the past five years has not been easy. Can you tell me about it? ?" Liang Meng said.

The girl Su Xin started to tell the story slowly.

"Five years ago, there was a famine in my hometown. I left my hometown and fled with my family. However, I was so hungry on the way. My parents left all the dry food for me and my brother. We kept walking. Finally, my parents collapsed. My brother and I tried our best to survive. Even though I shouted, my parents never woke up." Miss Su Xin said calmly.

"My brother and I kept walking. My brother was still so young. I should be the one who should starve to death. He left me even though he was so young. After burying my brother, I kept walking until I entered the city and looked at the people on the street. I prayed to them for food, but they drove me away again and again.

Finally, I met someone when I was begging for food. She actually gave me a meat bun. I ate it hungrily. She was dressed very beautifully, with brocade and satin clothes. I thought at that time that it would be great if I could be like her. She She asked me if I wanted to go with her. I was very happy and I agreed. I was so stupid that I just followed her like that. "Miss Su Xin still said calmly.

"After that, I was taken to Baihua Pavilion by her. Only then did I know that she was the flower mother of Baihua Pavilion. I resisted and ran away, but to no avail. I was afraid of hunger and death. I compromised, and I became the top leader of Baihua Pavilion. .

Soon after that, I was kept in captivity by Mr. Lin. He said that he would redeem my life and take me as his concubine. I thought that my suffering was finally over. I found someone who could take me out of the sea of ​​suffering. I agreed to all his requests and helped him make a fool of himself. To please his colleagues, I thought he would be touched by my efforts. Later, when I got pregnant, I happily told him, but he said that I was a lowly person and could not give birth to a child. I didn’t want to, so he forced me to give birth to the child. Dropped, I can no longer be pregnant. "Miss Su Xin still said calmly.

"I finally understand that he will not redeem me at all. I have nothing. If he treats me like this, then I will not let him go. I will kill everyone who has wronged me, but I just killed He was discovered." After saying that, he went to the corner of the table without any regrets. If I could go back to the beginning, I would rather starve to death like my parents and younger brothers than come to Jinshui City again.

When Miss Su Xin hit the corner of the table and died, everyone solemnly lamented that Miss Su Xin had a pitiful life experience.

"Strange?" Liang Meng said.

"What's wrong with Queen Mother? What's so strange?" Jing Huan was puzzled.

Everyone was also puzzled by the Queen Mother's strangeness.
