Although Xun Ziyang was adamant that the person had never appeared, he still had a guilty conscience.
Lin Mengya smirked at him, her gaze like a sharp blade that seemed capable of piercing through a person.
"Why are you stuttering?"
"I … What does this matter have to do with you? Bai Lu, why aren't you bringing him to the guard barracks? This person is so treacherous and cunning, and he has an old grudge with Steward Song. He must have been the killer! "
Although Bai Lu was not sharp enough in certain aspects, as the captain of the guard, he could still see a few things.
He only felt that the Xun Ziyang today was truly too strange.
Normally, although the Xun Ziyang he was familiar with sometimes had the lofty and virtuous air of a scholar, no matter what he did, he handled it skillfully and with ease.
He was actually a little better than Sir Xun Yang's stubborn and inflexible personality.
But today, he had done something extremely strange over and over again.
He was even so sure that Doctor Su was the killer.
It seemed that no matter how he looked at it, he wasn't his usual self.
"Ziyang, calm down. Leave the matter here to me."
He turned around and sternly gazed at the two people in front of him.
"You two, I need you to cooperate with the investigation. I will do my best to find out the truth of this matter and bring justice to the deceased. "
His attitude could still be considered fair, but Lin Mengya lightly shook her head.
"In truth, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Steward Song has evidence on his body that proves our innocence. There was a strong smell of medicine on his hands. If my guess is correct, this medicine was definitely given to Sir Xun Yang, and after Sir Xun Yang fell ill, it was Steward Song who frequently brewed medicine for him. Thus, the smell of medicine on his hands is so strong. May I ask, was it Steward Song who brewed medicine for Sir Xun Yang for the last time last night? "
Xun Ziyang raised his eyebrows. He naturally knew exactly what medicine Sir Xun Yang had been given.
Back then, in order to prevent this matter from being discovered, Steward Song had personally brewed the medicine.
But he knew there was a problem, but no one else knew!
Just as he was thinking about how to avoid this question, the person responsible for feeding Sir Xun Yang the medicine last night said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it was Steward Song who brewed the medicine. However, someone told me last night that Steward Song had something urgent to attend to, so he asked me to bring the medicine to Sir's room. "
This man was the one whom Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had seen on the beam.
She keenly caught the flash of panic in Xun Ziyang's eyes.
If they messed up now, what would they do in the future?
"Then when you went, was Steward Song around?"
The man thought for a moment, then shook his head heavily.
"No! At that time, I was puzzled. Steward Song had always placed great importance on Sir's medicine. Usually, no matter if it was picking out the ingredients or brewing the medicine, he would do it himself. "
"Since that's the case, did the person tell you what Steward Song went to do? Also, who was the person who told Steward Song that something happened and that he couldn't leave? "
It would have been better if she hadn't asked. The moment she did, those who weren't clean began to panic.
The servant's gaze swept across the crowd and finally fell on Xun Ziyang's page boy.
"That's right, I remember now, it's Yu Gui! Yes, it's Yugui! "
In the end, the man emphasized again.
With the appearance of the servant's testimony, the situation became even more confusing.
Cold sweat trickled down Xun Ziyang's forehead.
His teeth were slightly trembling, and he clutched the hem of his clothes tightly.
Originally, there were many things that couldn't stand up to scrutiny last night.
He originally wanted to make use of the servants in the mansion to directly beat up those people, and then bring them to the Bai Family to complain.
At that time, the Bai Family would naturally be in the wrong, and it would be difficult to investigate the matter in detail. Instead, they would only blame those two people.
When they lost the support of the Bai Family, how could they be a match for him?
One should know that sometimes, what people said was the "truth".
However, he had never expected that things would go out of his control like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
"Yugui, is what he said true?"
Bai Lu stared at the little page boy in front of him.
The latter had never experienced such a situation before, so he nodded subconsciously.
Then he realized something and shook his head desperately.
"No, I didn't look for anyone last night …"
"He's lying! Mr. Bai, I'm just a servant. How dare I lie? Oh yes, I've followed Steward Song to deliver medicine to Sir several times. If Sir really couldn't drink it, he would pour the medicine into a vase in Sir's room. Last night, I was afraid that Sir would choke, so I poured the medicine into the vase. Now, it must not be completely dry! Mr. Bai, you can go and investigate! "
Lin Mengya pursed her lips. In the face of crisis, everyone's first reaction was to clear themselves of suspicion.
No matter how slow Bai Lu was, he could sense that there was a problem in this.
Not to mention whether Doctor Su was suspected of murder or not, even the testimony of the servants in the mansion was very problematic.
Who was the last person Song Xing saw last night? Since he had always attached importance to the medicine for Sir, why was he not seen last night?
When Yugui sent a letter, he said that he had something to do.
But now, he was denying it. But the servant kept saying that he had evidence to prove his words.
The timeline, which was already unclear in the first place, became blurry again.
In this case, the more chaotic it was, the bigger the problem.
His years of experience in handling cases told him that Song Xing's death could implicate many people.
"It seems that we have to make a trip to Sir's courtyard."
"No! Do you want Sir to suffer because of this? If anything happens to Sir because of this, which one of you can bear the responsibility? "
Xun Ziyang stood in front of Bai Lu, his face flushed red as he tried his best to block them.
He knew very well that his teacher's safety was his last life-saving straw.
Bai Lu stopped in his tracks. The old friend in front of him was extremely unfamiliar to him.
"Get out of my way, this is a human life. Moreover, Sir's safety is at stake! "
But Xun Ziyang refused to budge. He even glared fiercely at Bai Lu.
"Even if Song Xing died of injustice, we can't let anything happen to Sir! Bai Lu, this is not a consequence you can bear! "
"Xun Ziyang, do you know what you're saying?"
Bai Lu was extremely disappointed.
In the past, he thought that although Xun Ziyang and Sir had different personalities, there were some things that came from the same origin.
But now, he could clearly see that the Xun Ziyang in front of him was not the slightest bit like that outwardly cold but inwardly warm Sir Xun Yang, who had a bottom line and was so stubborn that it was almost unreasonable.
"You can ignore Sir's safety, but I can't! Bai Lu, I order your men to leave! We'll deal with this ourselves! "
Since they had already fallen out, Xun Ziyang was not afraid of going a little overboard.
Bai Lu's face darkened, but his heart ached slightly.
"It's just a search, why are you so hostile? Could it be that there's something that can't be seen? "
Lin Mengya said indifferently. Then, without any pressure, she faced Xun Ziyang's murderous glare and said, "How about this, if anything happens, I can bear all the responsibility. Does that mean that you can each take a step back?"
"Bear all the responsibility? Hmph, can you bear it? Can your life be compared to Mister's? "
"I really don't know. Sir Xun Yang is just a retainer of the Bai clan. No matter how much they rely on him, it's not like they can't do without him. But right now, I feel like he's even more respected than the head of the Bai clan? Perhaps it's because the Bai clan values their disciples, or is there someone who thinks too highly of himself. "
Although Lin Mengya's words were unpleasant to hear, they hit the nail on the head.
Bai Lu took in a deep breath. In truth, he hadn't felt it before, but ever since he heard Xun Ziyang's words, he felt a little displeased.
He had treated the Bai clan courteously in the past because Sir had once shown him kindness.
But now, it seemed that because of this, Xun Ziyang had forgotten his identity as the captain of the guard.
"I heard that Sir Xun Yang's old illness relapsed and he's temporarily unconscious. I'm very curious. Even if Bai Lu and the others go in to search, as long as they don't move Sir, how could they harm Sir? If they make too much of a ruckus and wake Sir up, that might be a good thing. Or could it be that the fear of something happening to Sir is fake, and that there's some shameful conspiracy behind this? "
What Xun Ziyang regretted the most right now was that he hadn't resolutely driven them out on the first day they arrived.
Now, it was very obvious that Bai Lu had already betrayed them and was together with that surnamed Su.
If he continued to obstruct them, not only would he become a laughing stock, he would also have to endure his suspicions.
Since that was the case, he wouldn't obstruct them that day.
Lowering his arms, he coldly gazed at the group of people in front of him.
"Fine, since you insist on seeing, then I'll fulfill your wish. However, only Bai Lu can come in with me. The others cannot enter the courtyard! "
Bai Lu cautiously nodded his head. Lin Mengya also took a step forward and volunteered, "Why don't I go as well? In the end, I'm a doctor, so I'm better than all of you. If there are any actions that are detrimental to the patient, I can warn you at any time. "
Seeing Xun Ziyang's complexion that was a hundred times uglier than if he was suffering from constipation, Lin Mengya felt a little joy in her heart.
She led the group to Sir Xun Yang's bedroom. After opening the door, Bai Lu slightly frowned.
"Why are there so many red lines in here?"
But before anyone could answer him, Lin Mengya casually flicked the red line at the door.
"Don't move!"
Xun Ziyang sternly rebuked, but the crisp sound of a bell could be heard from within the courtyard.
"It's not like it's a treasure trove, so what's the point of setting up so many traps?"
Lin Mengya seemed to be casually sighing, but in the ears of the bystanders, this was not the case.
