Knock!
After a while, she lowered her eyes and pondered. Suddenly, she walked to the back of the bed.
In ancient times, beds were not attached to the wall. Instead, there was a screen at the back, which was used to hang clothes and change clothes.
Ji Yunshu's eyes were like magnifying glasses. She looked around and saw some broken bits at the foot of the bed.
She picked it up, moved it to her fingertips, and sniffed it.
'It's spices!'
She walked out from behind the bed and asked the innkeeper, "In the past two days, did anyone come to the inn to sell spices?"
The innkeeper thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes! It's a group of spices merchants from the southern Min region. They left about an hour ago. "Ji Yunshu's expression changed.
She hastily said to Constable Zhang, "Constable Zhang, it's getting late. I believe those people didn't leave very quickly. Since they are spices merchants from the southern Min region, they naturally wouldn't go south. The east-west direction isn't a place where people gather. If they want to do business, they probably went north. If you immediately take some people and chase them north, you should be able to reach them before they leave Yuzhou."
"If one of them is a woman who is less than five feet tall and is wearing a silk cloth, bring her back to the yamen and interrogate her one by one according to what I said just now. Naturally, you will be able to get the answer. If she continues to quibble, you can take this hair and these fine fragrances as evidence. In addition, look at the silk on her body and see if there are any scratches. The murderer must be her."
Ji Yunshu wrapped the strand of hair and spices in a handkerchief and handed it to him.
Constable Zhang was stunned for a moment before he suddenly regained his composure. He took the things and loudly ordered the bailiffs, "You guys carry the corpse to the memorial hall. The rest of you, follow me."
Then, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, Constable Zhang rushed out with the bailiffs.
'Hey, hey, hey!
You haven't even thanked Miss Ji yet! '
Ji Yunshu felt a bit better now that the case was settled. She glanced at Jing Rong.
Jing Rong responded with a faint smile, but she couldn't tell what it was.
When he took two steps closer to her, she took another step back and lowered her eyebrows. "Wei Yi is still waiting for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped out of the door.
Jing Rong was slightly taken aback. Was he that scary?
He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and his jealousy overflowed. No one could stop him.
With his hands behind his back, he followed behind.
Li Shiyan had seen the entire process clearly.
Ever since he was young, he had thought that all the beauties in the world were just for show. In terms of character, they were all gentle, timid, and elegant.
When had he ever seen someone like Ji Yunshu? Not only did she dare to touch a corpse, but she was also smart and farsighted?
What kind of amazing woman was she?
Even though her face was covered by a veil, the temperament she exuded was like an otherworldly winter orchid, standing upright in the middle of the water. One could only smell the fragrance of the flower, but not see the delicate branches.
It also tickled one's heart like a cocoon made of silk, tightly entangled by silkworms, unable to move a single inch to touch the woman's face under the veil.
It was like scratching one's ears and cheeks!
Li Shiyan curiously smiled, "This young master wants this woman!"
Xiao Luzi, who was at the side, poured cold water on him. "Young Master, look, the girl is surrounded by experts. We can't get close to her."
"Who said that? Aren't they going to the capital? Good, let's go there together. "
Raising her slightly proud and confident eyes, she turned around and went back to her room.
At this moment, Ji Yunshu returned to Wei Yi's room. He was already asleep, curled up on the bed with the quilt covering his head.
She pulled the quilt down, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"Silly boy, aren't you afraid of being bored to death?"
She covered the quilt for him again before leaving the room. She instructed the two guards at the door, "You two watch him carefully. Don't let him run around."
"Miss Ji, rest assured. We will watch him carefully."
She nodded to express her gratitude.
The next moment, her wrist was grabbed by a strong force, and her body was dragged into a room.
Jing Rong's grip was a bit heavy, and Ji Yunshu frowned in pain.
"What are you doing?"
Bang!
The door was closed after they entered.
Ji Yunshu's back was pressed against the door the moment it was closed. Jing Rong slammed the door.
His handsome face, which seemed calm but was mixed with anger, was only a fist's length away from her. She could see the fine wrinkles on his face, and the tiny pores on his face looked like they were about to explode.
What did she do? Why did she make him so angry all of a sudden?
She gently tilted her head to avoid his gaze and asked again, "Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
"What do you think?"
"Your Highness, please conduct yourself with dignity."
"You still haven't answered my question last night."
"Huh?"
Ji Yunshu was slightly surprised and tried to recall.
'Oh!' He asked if she had him in her heart. Before she could answer, Ke Cha interrupted her.
"No one will disturb us now. I want you to tell me the truth. Answer honestly, even if it's just a little bit. You are not allowed to hide anything."
'Yes, even if it's just a little bit, I still have a chance, right?'
His eyes were burning with hope as he stared at the tip of Ji Yunshu's eyebrows.
Ji Yunshu tightly clenched her fists. Her breathing suddenly became lighter, and her throat moved slightly. Suddenly, a resolute expression appeared on her face.
Her eyes met Jing Rong's gaze and she confidently said, "In my heart, there has never been … Oh!"
Before she could finish her words, her lips were blocked by Jing Rong's scorching hot lips.
This was not the first time Jing Rong did this.
But Ji Yunshu was still shocked.
The cold thread on the veil seemed to gradually melt into the fine lines on her small lips. Then, it really stuck to Jing Rong's thin lips.
From ice to warmth!
Separated by a thin veil, it was useless!
When she reacted and wanted to push him away, Jing Rong took the initiative to leave her lips.
His deep eyes revealed a faint trace of melancholy.
He slowly said, "Forget it. I will answer this question later."
"…"
"Why are you so surprised? It's not the first time. "Jing Rong spoke carelessly and suddenly called out," Lang Po. "
Lang Po, who was outside the door, answered, "Here."
"Go and bring the dishes in."
"Yes."
Jing Rong released Ji Yunshu and sat upright at the table. He gently knocked on the table with his knuckles and said, "Wash your hands and quickly come over to eat."
'Hey, hey, hey! How can you act like nothing happened? '
Ji Yunshu's heart was beating wildly and she couldn't eat.
She gently bit her lips and said, "There's no need."
After saying that, she turned around, opened the door, and ran out.
Looking at her panicked back, Jing Rong's heart was ignited with a glimmer of hope.
But he couldn't feel the slightest bit happy because he seemed to have heard everything Ji Yunshu said.
