Luo Yang was waiting outside. When he saw the two elite soldiers come out, he asked, "Sirs, did you see the thief inside?"
"No."
"Then … he might have run to another place."
The two men were from the Supreme Court, so their brains worked faster than others. They looked at Luo Yang and narrowed their eyes. They asked suspiciously, "Did you really see someone go inside?"
"Of course."
"Then why are you the only one looking? Where are the other people in the villa?"
'Ah!'
Luo Yang lowered his head and trembled.
He was afraid of revealing a flaw.
At this time, the old steward came with a group of people.
The old steward raised his voice and asked, "Why are you still here? Did you find him? "
Luo Yang quickly answered, "I'm looking, but I couldn't find him."
"Then why aren't you looking elsewhere?"
"Yes!"
Luo Yang seized this opportunity and quickly left.
The two elite soldiers looked at each other and asked the old steward, "Is there really a thief?"
The old steward replied, "They said they saw him and are currently looking for him. Two days ago, someone also saw him, but they couldn't find him. So, it's safer to look elsewhere."
The silhouette she mentioned earlier must be Jing Rong!
After the two soldiers heard this, they no longer had any doubts.
The old steward also led his men to continue their search.
At this time, in the Shuiyue Pavilion, Ji Yunshu saw that the people outside had already dispersed, so she went to Li Shiyan's door.
The door was locked, and the room was pitch-black. She couldn't hear the slightest sound.
She peeked through the paper covering the window, but she couldn't see anything.
After a long time, she reached out and knocked on the door.
Li Shiyan was lying on his bed, feeling uneasy.
He still had two days to clear his name as a murderer. If the Supreme Court and Su Ziluo could not find any evidence to prove his innocence, he would be escorted to the Supreme Court. At that time, Minister Wang, in order to avenge his nephew's death, would certainly enter the palace to request his execution. The Emperor, in order to maintain justice, would certainly give the order.
Thinking of this, he tossed and turned on his bed, unable to fall asleep.
Just now, when the two elite soldiers came to knock on the door, he was already upset. Now that someone came to knock on the door, he turned over from the bed and growled towards the door, "What are you doing here again?"
When Ji Yunshu heard Li Shiyan's voice, she softly called out, "Heir."
A female voice?
Li Shiyan froze for a moment.
That voice …
His pupils suddenly widened as he stared at the door. Then, he got up and walked out.
There was a figure standing outside the door. That figure was extremely slender and looked like a person!
Even though there was a door between them, he still felt a sense of familiarity.
Was it her?
No!
How could that be?
In just a few short steps, his mind was filled with a lot of thoughts …
When he walked to the door, his deep, dark eyes were filled with confusion. He frowned and opened his mouth. After a while, he said, "You … are? “
His voice trembled slightly.
Ji Yunshu stood outside and looked at the tall figure inside. Her tone was slightly heavy. "It's been five years since we last met. Is the heir doing well?"
Ugh!
At that moment, Li Shiyan's heart was suddenly filled with sorrow. His eyes were glistening with tears as he took a step back.
His brows furrowed even tighter.
He didn't dare to believe it!
"Miss … Ji?" He opened his mouth wide.
'Five years!'
Although they were separated by the door, Ji Yunshu could feel his current mood. She sighed and said, "It's me."
For a moment, Li Shiyan completely forgot that he was still in prison. He didn't know where to put his hands, and his feet turned in circles. He didn't know what to say.
However, the corners of his mouth slowly overflowed with a joyful smile.
All the panic and apprehension in his heart disappeared.
Even if he couldn't see the person he thought about day and night outside the door, his heart was still fantasizing …
Did she lose weight?
Or did she gain weight?
Were those pair of bright eyes brighter than before?
Was everything still the same as before?
He slowly raised his hand and gently touched the ice-cold door frame in front of him. It was as if he was really touching Ji Yunshu's face.
So warm …
"I must be dreaming. How could you be here? Miss Ji, is it really you? "He repeatedly asked for confirmation.
Ji Yunshu understood this kind of feeling.
She said, "It's been five years since we parted in Great Lin. I never thought … that one day I would come to Qujiang and see you again."
Hearing this, all the doubts in Li Shiyan's heart disappeared.
He grinned like a little boy. He was excited, but there was also a trace of shyness. He wished he could break the door and rush out. "It's really you! How could you be here? When did you come to Yan Jing? When did you come to Ning 'an Villa? Why didn't I receive any news? "
There were too many questions!
Ji Yunshu saw that he was so excited, so she immediately turned her head to look at the door to avoid alerting the people outside.
However, she wasn't here to reminisce about the past. She had important matters to attend to, so she lowered her voice and said, "I'll tell you in detail after you come out. I secretly came to see you because I wanted to ask you about Wang Huaizhi's death. "
The joy of their reunion was suddenly interrupted by this sentence.
Li Shiyan's expression suddenly sank. His hand slowly fell from the door frame. He sighed and said, "So you also know about this matter."
"It's because I know that I came to see you."
"This matter … Miss Ji, you know what kind of person I am. I wouldn't do such a thing. You must believe me!"
"Of course I believe you! That's why I secretly came to see you. I want to hear you talk about this matter. Tell me everything you know. Don't leave out any details. Since you didn't kill him, there must be something you overlooked, "said Ji Yunshu.
Li Shiyan was silent for a long time. Then, he said, "Okay!"
Thus, he told him everything he knew in full detail.
It was just as Ji Yunshu had thought.
She was suspicious. "Since you left the rockery at that time, the corpse must have been carried away by someone else. In other words, there must have been another person in the rockery."
"But I didn't see anyone!"
"Even if you didn't see anyone, it doesn't mean that no one was there. Think carefully about how Wang Huai died."
Li Shiyan did his best to recall. His brows furrowed deeply as he said, "It was very dark in the fake mountain at the time. I only knew that Wang Huai was already dead when I got closer. He was lying flat on the ground with blood behind his head. His hands were flat at his side, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. It looked like I had killed someone, but I am certain that he was still alive when I left.
Ji Yunshu pondered for a moment and said with suspicion, "I think that Wang Huai went out that night to see someone. Perhaps … the real murderer was the person he was going to meet, and that person killed Wang Huai after you left and dragged his body away. "
"You think the same as Ziluo. He also thinks the same."
When Li Shiyan mentioned Su Ziluo, Ji Yunshu's expression changed slightly. She then said, "Heir, I came to see you secretly. That Teacher Su doesn't know, so you must keep this a secret for me."
Yes, she still called Su Ziluo 'Teacher Su' in front of others.
Even though Li Shiyan knew that they both had the same hanging tassel, every time he asked, Su Ziluo refused to mention it.
Therefore, he didn't know the relationship between Su Ziluo and Ji Yunshu.
Perhaps … there was no relationship at all!
Now that Ji Yunshu had entrusted him with this task, he would naturally keep his mouth shut. However …
"But if you want to help me, Ziluo will definitely find out."
"You don't need to worry about that. I have a way to avoid it."
"That's good."
Ji Yunshu told him again, "If you want to find clues about the murderer, you have to go to the rockery and … that skeleton. But I can't say for sure what the result will be."
Li Shiyan earnestly said, "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
He had seen Ji Yunshu's ability.
The famous Teacher Ji of the Ministry of Justice's Prison Division was not an undeserved reputation.
Ji Yunshu looked at the time and said, "I can't stay here any longer. I don't want to be discovered, but if I want to go out now … I need your help."
"Speak!"
"You have to lure the person outside into your room."
