After realizing that something was wrong.
Li Cheng leaned towards Jing Rong and emphasized with a frown, "Isn't this my place? Why do I feel like it's yours? "
Jing Rong ignored him and poured him a glass of water.
"Drink!"
His tone was that of a master.
Li Cheng, on the other hand, drank it.
Jing Rong looked at the dossier on the table. "You brought it?"
"Of course, don't you know who I am?" He raised his eyebrows.
Jing Rong reached out to take it. Just as his fingertips touched it, Li Cheng's palm pressed down on the dossier, emphasizing, "This is a dossier. You can't read it casually."
"You don't want to investigate the case anymore?"
"Of course, but this is for Young Master Ji to see."
"She is me, and I am her."
Li Cheng, "…"
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to this.
"We're all in the same boat. You need to solve the case, and I need to find someone. If we can't work together, I'll leave right now. Then, you might have to find someone else to handle this case."
A blatant threat!
Li Cheng hesitated for a moment. He looked at Jing Rong's eagle-like eyes and slowly loosened his grip.
He wasn't afraid of Jing Rong's gaze, but he was worried that Jing Rong would end their cooperation in a fit of anger. If he took Ji Yunshu away, wouldn't the case be over?
Therefore, when it was time to admit defeat, it was time to admit defeat.
The corners of Jing Rong's mouth secretly curled up when he saw that Ji Yunshu had loosened his grip. He took the file.
He flipped through the pages.
His sword-like eyebrows furrowed from time to time.
Li Cheng looked at him and coughed. He raised his voice and said, "Since I promised to take you to the Ministry of Revenue to investigate that person called Cha He, I will naturally do what I said. So, you can't go back on your words. You have to help me solve the case. This is called giving and taking."
Jing Rong ignored him.
Continue watching!
"But why are you looking for that person? Is he important to you? "
"…"
"You are from the Great Lin, but that person is from Gaoding. How did you meet?"
"…"
Li Cheng talked a lot.
Until —
Jing Rong replied, "Can you shut up?"
With a gentle and courteous tone.
However, it clearly made one's heart turn cold.
Li Cheng smiled awkwardly but politely.
It didn't take long for him to finish reading.
He silently closed the file in his hand and put it aside.
Silence.
Li Cheng asked, "What did you see?"
Jing Rong replied, "The dossier is well written."
"I'm not asking about that."
"But that's what I said."
"What?" Li Cheng didn't understand what he was saying. "What this? I'm not asking you if this dossier is well written or not. I'm asking you, do you see anything wrong? "
Jing Rong looked at him and asked seriously, "Is it hard to understand what I said?"
"Ah?"
"It's because this dossier is well written that there's nothing wrong with it."
Puff –
Li Cheng felt like he had been hit by several arrows.
"Young Master Jing, just say that there's nothing wrong. Why beat around the bush?"
"Blame me?" Jing Rong coldly stared at him.
Li Cheng instantly cowered. "That's not what I meant."
He couldn't beat Jing Rong in a fight, but he also couldn't outtalk him.
Other than admitting defeat, what else could he do?
Just then —
Ji Yunshu arrived.
The guard at the door called out, "Teacher Ji."
The two people in the hall heard the voice and looked over.
Li Cheng immediately got up and rushed over. "Teacher Ji, how is it?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head. "There's nothing."
"Oh!"
"Where's the dossier I asked for?"
"Over there!" Li Cheng pointed at the dossier on the table.
Ji Yunshu walked over and sat down where Li Cheng had sat before. She picked up the dossier and started reading.
She didn't greet Jing Rong at all.
Jing Rong quietly poured a cup of tea for her.
She drank and read.
Until the end.
Like Jing Rong, she closed the dossier and remained silent.
Li Cheng asked, "How is it? Did you find anything? "
Ji Yunshu shook her head.
"Since there's nothing wrong, does that mean that Su Qiao's arrival in Gaoding has nothing to do with Du Mubai?"
"Not necessarily!" Ji Yunshu said, "Perhaps it can be said that this dossier is well written, so there's nothing wrong."
Li Cheng was speechless.
Suddenly —
A lowly official rushed in and said, "Milord, there's something."
Li Cheng asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's a woman who said she knew the victim. She's outside right now and said that she's from the same hometown as the victim."
There's something.
"Quick, bring her in."
"Yes."
Soon, the lowly official brought the woman in.
The woman was very beautiful, but her skin was a little rough. She wore coarse hemp clothes and kept her head lowered.
She was very submissive.
After she came in, she knelt on the ground. "Greetings, milord."
Ji Yunshu quickly bent down and pulled her hand. "You don't have to kneel."
"Yes."
The woman's voice was very soft as she slowly stood up.
Ji Yunshu asked, "You said … you know the victim? She's from the same hometown? "
"Yes."
"Tell me more clearly. Who is that Su Qiao person?"
The woman pursed her lips. "She is …"
"What's the matter?"
"To tell you the truth, Su Qiao and I are both from Nanshen. We grew up together. We don't have parents, and we … grew up in a brothel."
A brothel?
Ji Yunshu said, "Three years ago, she suddenly came to Gaoding. Since then, I've lost contact with her. Two years ago, I was ransomed by a traveling merchant and brought to Gaoding. However, my status was low, and I was only a maid in charge of cleaning. Later on, I tried to find out about Su Qiao, but … There was no news of her.
It wasn't until two days ago that I heard … heard that she died. I also heard that the milords were investigating her identity, so I rushed here. "
"Then do you know why she came to Gaoding three years ago?" Ji Yunshu asked.
"She came to Gaoding … for a person called Du Mubai."
As expected!
"What's her relationship with Du Mubai? Du Mubai died six years ago. Why did she come to Gaoding for him? " The woman said, "To tell you the truth, Du Mubai and Su Qiao were good friends. The two of them were in love and had already promised to marry each other. Su Qiao often told me that she admired Du Mubai's talent and knowledge and that she would marry him in the future. Originally, Su Qiao had already earned enough money to redeem herself. However, because Du Mubai's family was poor, he didn't have enough money to support him to come to Gaoding. So, Su Qiao gave all her money to him and waited for him to come back from high school. However, not long after, she heard that Du Mubai had died. Su Qiao cried for a long time, but she couldn't redeem herself.
She couldn't go to Gaoding, but after she redeemed herself three years ago, she immediately came to Gaoding. After that, I don't know anything else. "
When she finished, Li Cheng was shocked.
Su Qiao was really Du Mubai's lover?
