"Why is it Xue Hongyi again?"
This was the first thing that came to Ning Shu's mind after hearing the story.
She had thought that Xue Hongyi was just a cover used by the murderer to cover up his crime. Who would have thought that one after another, people related to the case had deep connections with her?
"The old woman who was skinned and died was her servant when she was alive. The procuress of Xunfang Terrace used to be her old acquaintance from the same brothel. Now, Susu is also related to her. This is already the third person related to Xue Hongyi."
"Hmm." Xiahou Qing nodded. His brows showed that he was deep in thought.
Ning Shu said, "Could it be that we were investigating in the wrong direction from the beginning?" She immediately denied this conjecture. "But Li E 'er and Zhou Xiang have nothing to do with Xue Hongyi. Why was she chosen to be the target of the blame?"
Xiahou Qing said, "Perhaps this relationship was hidden very well and we didn't discover it. Or perhaps, the two were indirectly related through another person or another matter. In short, from the current situation, this Xue Hongyi is worth our time to investigate. "
Tianwen thought of something and joked, "Speaking of this Xue, Shaoqing Tan's cousin seems to also have the surname Xue. Could it be another person related to Xue Hongyi?"
"Although my cousin's surname is also Xue, it's not that Xue family. It's the Xue family of Dingzhou. She's my aunt's daughter. Please don't misunderstand!"
When they returned to the Supreme Court and asked Tan Siwei about Xue Qiongwei, Tan Siwei hurriedly explained, "Although Qiongwei looks a little naughty, she's actually a very sensible child. Since she came to my house at the age of five, I've watched her grow up. A case like the sudden death of an envoy, a little girl like her couldn't have been involved. Really, I can guarantee it with my life."
Seeing that Tan Siwei was so anxious that sweat was about to come out of his forehead, Ning Shu hurriedly said, "Shaoqing, don't worry. I just suddenly thought of it and thought it was a coincidence, so I asked. Now that I know the truth, I don't want to misunderstand."
Tan Siwei was relieved. He wiped the sweat from his temples and said, "That's good, that's good." He continued, "So, Shu 'er wants to dig up Xue Hongyi's old case and investigate it again?"
"Yes. The case that Xue Hong Yi committed that year was quite sensational at the time, and there should be a record of it in the Supreme Court. If possible, I would like to ask Shaoqing to send someone to take me there. "
"That's not a problem. I'll go with Shu 'er."
Ning Shu said, "Shaoqing is busy with official business. I can look for him myself."
Tan Siwei said eagerly, "Don't worry, don't worry. This case is the most important thing right now. How can I watch you work alone? It's almost evening now, and we don't have much time left. One more person is one more helper. "
Ning Shu glanced at Xiahou Qing behind her. Seeing his calm expression, she said, "Go."
Ning Shu relaxed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Shaoqing."
Just as she was about to leave, she thought for a moment and ran to Xiahou Qing's side. She said, "Your Highness, please rest. I'll be back soon." Then, she walked with Tan Siwei into the Supreme Court's archives.
In the early summer evening, the weather was a little stuffy. The slanting sun shone into the room through the window lattice and sprinkled on Xiahou Qing's lapel. It seemed to dye the cold frost with a layer of light orange. It was such a charming and warm color, but it made his lips appear even paler and colder.
The brocade covering his eyes fluttered lonely in the rare evening breeze.
After a long time, he said in a low self-deprecating tone, "A blind man."
