The Emperor's Favorite: The Detective Queen is too arrogant

Chapter 30 The Survival Instinct

The study room of the Ministry of Punishment——

"Your Majesty, we have already measured the marks left on the beams. Judging by his figure, this person is about seven feet tall, and the shoe prints are slightly shallow, but it can be vaguely estimated to be more than eight inches. The incense ash in the incense burner has also been checked out. Contains sleeping herbal ingredients”

Lin Ling is thoughtful, seven feet eight inches, it seems that there is only one person who has access to medicinal herbs, but there is no strong evidence pointing directly to him, and there is no way to catch him, and his purpose is not clear at the moment.

"Niang Niang, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not," Ji Lang said hesitantly.

"Master Ji wanted to ask, since Linglong knew who was in the Luoxi room that day, why didn't she just tell her and seek protection?"

Ji Lang nodded, "Exactly, or she could cover up this matter and escape this disaster, but she didn't. Instead, she gave an ambiguous dreaming language, I am stupid, I hope your mother can explain it." "

Lin Ling pondered for a while, then looked down at Jing Han who was sitting beside her,
"What do you think"

Jing Han was a little swayed by the faint scent of jasmine around him, and when he thought about it, he hugged her waist and let her sit on his lap, feeling the warm fragrance of jade in his arms, and then he opened his mouth in satisfaction,
"If you want to ask me for advice, you always have to charge some interest"

The heat on Lin Ling's face rose up, and seeing Ji Lang's look of no evil, he gave him a shameful look, knowing that he couldn't break free, and his legs were really sore, so he simply lay down in his arms Here, he is not ashamed to be an emperor himself, so what is she worrying about.

"Say it"

"Perhaps, Linglong didn't lie. She really heard the voice of a man in Luoxi's room in her dream, and she really didn't recognize the man. It's just... Her subconscious self-protection changed the place where she heard the voice. But the murderer mistook her for recognizing him and exposed himself prematurely."

Lin Ling and Ji Lang were shocked,
"But, didn't you also think that Linglong was lying?"

"Overturned after seeing the dead body"

Ji Lang: "Why?"

Jing Han didn't answer, and smoothed Lin Ling's frowning face with his hand,
"Little Linger, what do you think?"

"A person's survival instinct!" Lin Ling said calmly,
"If Linglong is not dead, it can prove that what she said will be a bit watery. The instinct of a normal person in the face of danger is to protect himself. Without any protection, she can't say something that is not good for her. Take a step back Speaking of which, just like Wang Dagui yesterday, even if he admitted that he insulted Li Ge, he indirectly proved his innocence in the two murders."

After the words fell, Lin Ling immediately thought of another question,
"However, this is just speculation. How did the emperor know that Linglong was not lying?"

Ji Lang also looked at Jing Han, waiting for his answer,
The latter looked at the two of them looking at him eagerly, smiled jokingly, and spit out two words

"Guess!"

As soon as Jing Han's words came out, Ji Lang almost fell down, but Lin Ling didn't react much, and squeezed the hand on his waist,
"Don't make trouble"

The latter squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and finally, under Lin Ling's stare, he spoke slowly,
"When I went to Xunhualou, I was ready to save people and verify some information. Linglong has been in Xunhualou for many years, and she will have acquainted playmates, and Xunhualou will not be generous enough to let a The maid lived in a room alone. On the night Luoxi was killed, there was another person in Linglong's room. It was the maid Haitang who had been living in the same room with her for the past few years. At that time, Linglong had gone out, and she had this habit almost every night, since her old mother died of illness two years ago, but she would not remember anything when she woke up the next day, she just thought it was a dream."

Lin Ling came to her senses and looked at him in surprise,
"You mean, Linglong suffers from sleepwalking?"

Jing Han nodded, and continued,
"When Haitang first found out, she secretly followed Linglong out to see what Linglong was doing. Later, she found out that she just went to the yard to bury some fallen leaves. The fallen leaves returned to their roots. She must have just remembered her mother. Haitang was afraid that Linglong would be rejected by others if she spoke out. I never said it to the outside world.”

Hearing this, both Ji Lang and Lin Ling were silent for a while, and after a while Ji Lang spoke heavily,
"This Linglong is also a poor girl. She lost her mother when she was young, and now she has suffered such bad luck at a young age. I see that she has a pure heart. If she is still alive, the youngest son promised to me is not bad. It's a pity... "

Lin Ling was startled by Ji Lang's words, and the dim sum delivered to her mouth by Jing Han suddenly got stuck in her throat, and she coughed violently. Master Ji's mind was so out of control this time that he was going to break through the sky!The corners of Jing Han's mouth also twitched a few times. Seeing that she was coughing so badly that she had no time to think about other things, she hurriedly patted her back, and fed her a sip of tea by the way, and Lin Ling finally recovered.

Ji Lang looked at the two people blankly, did he say something wrong?
"Dong dong dong—" At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ji Lang opened the door and walked out, then closed the door carefully. Even though it was his own mansion, if someone saw two men in men's clothes embracing each other in his study, something serious would happen.

Seeing Ji Lang's actions, Jing Han flashed a smile, this Ji Lang is quite good at handling things.

Within a quarter of an hour, there was another knock on the door, and Ji Lang's voice came in.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Come in"

Only then did Ji Lang open the door and walk in, with an unnatural expression on his face, probably only his own study room had to knock on the door.Thinking of the matter reported by his subordinates, he didn't dare to delay any longer, his face became dignified,
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just now the yamen servant came to report, and the master sculptor came back."

Lin Ling quickly got off Jing Han's lap,

"Where is he now?"

"It's in the lobby, he was brought over by the guards just after he came back"

"Okay, let's go see"

"Yes"

Lin Ling looked at Jing Han,

"Your Majesty, your status is very inconvenient, just wait for news from us in the study."

Jing Han nodded, not being hypocritical, just happened to have some matters that he had to deal with in private to clear the way for her.Seeing Jing Han's actions, Lin Ling left in a hurry.

-

"You are Gu Feng"

"It's the old man. I don't know why the adults are looking for the old man?" The people in the hall answered neither humble nor overbearing. Lin Ling saw that the person who made the sound was white-haired and childlike, with bright eyes and a gray robe without any signs of age. He looked even more handsome and upright. , If you don't know his real age, you will mistakenly think that he is only about 40 or [-] years old, but you don't know that he is over sixty years old.

Lin Ling was amazed when she saw it. It turned out that the ancient art of retaining beauty was so brilliant, even the queen dowager in the palace. The master in front of him seemed to be a master of the world, and the only trace of doubts about him in his heart was also eliminated. Not a lot.

Ji Lang didn't find it difficult for this master named Gu Feng to be so handsome.
"Have you ever heard of Li Ge and Luo Xi?"

Gu Feng frowned and said,
"Are you talking about the oirans of the two brothels in the capital?"

"Exactly, have you ever met, sir?"

　Sorry, it's later today!Make up! ! !
