Six-tailed love

Chapter 82 Five Corpses
Lin Changjing walked into the room, bowed to Qinghuang and Wu Xinlan, then stood in the room without speaking.

Qinghuang was surprised: "Lin Aiqing, didn't you say you have something to report? Why are you standing still and not talking?"

Lin Changjing still didn't speak, he glanced at Wu Xinlan.

Wu Xinlan felt a "thump" in her heart.

Seeing Lin Changjing's wink, Qinghuang said to Wu Xinlan: "Aifei, you go down first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Wu Xinlan passed by Lin Changjing's side, she couldn't help but glanced at him suspiciously, but Lin Changjing kept her eyes lowered, with a serious expression on her face.Wu Xinlan went to the door, turned around and closed the door, then she hesitated for a moment, then put her ear to the door to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

"Lin Aiqing, what is the important matter that made you come to Jinren Palace to find me?" Qinghuang's tone was clearly dissatisfied.

"The last general shouldn't have come to disturb the emperor, but these few days the emperor has been in Jinren Palace, and the matter reported by the last general is indeed very important, so he came here boldly."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's talk."

Lin Changjing told Qinghuang about Ye Chunhua, Qinghuang was so excited that he fell off the chair, and Lin Changjing hurried forward to help him.

Qinghuang grabbed Lin Changjing's arm and said in a trembling voice, "You... are you telling the truth?"

"The last general dare not lie to the emperor!"

Qinghuang closed his eyes and trembled with anger: "Who is it? Which animal killed Zhen's Chunhua?!"

The heart of Wu Xinlan, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, instantly rose, and her hands on her chest were clenched into fists due to nervousness.

"The murderer is Zhang Liang, the guard who deceived the princess." Lin Changjing replied.

Wu Xinlan was taken aback for a moment, and then let out a sigh of relief.It seems that Rong Ying did not betray her.

Seeing someone approaching not far away, Wu Xinlan lifted her skirt and left in a hurry.

Inside the house, Lin Changjing reported what he knew to Qinghuang, omitting the appearance of Ye Chunhua's ghost.Qinghuang supported his forehead and leaned on the collapse. Lin Changjing was worried that he was too sad, so he asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Qinghuang kept his forehead and closed his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go down."

Lin Changjing opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything more to comfort him. He thought that Qinghuang probably needed to be alone at this time.

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body, the last general will retire first."

Lin Changjing walked out of Jinren Palace, his heart was very heavy, he didn't know if he was doing the right thing, maybe it would be better for Qinghuang to think that Ye Chunhua had really eloped with someone?In this way at least she is still a "living" person.But it's useless to think about it now, he can't deceive the king, he can only tell the truth.

However, Lin Changjing still had some doubts in his heart. He always felt that Ye Chunhua's matter was not that simple, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was for a while.Back at the General's Mansion, as soon as Rong Ying saw him, she came up to him, frowned and sniffed him.

Lin Changjing felt strange: "What are you smelling?"

"Did you run off to Hualiu Lane! You are full of fragrance!" Rong Ying said angrily.

Hearing this, Lin Changjing raised his hand and smelled his sleeves, and there was indeed a strange fragrance.He recalled it for a while, and said: "I remembered, today I went to Jinren Palace, and the fragrance came from there."

"Jinren Palace?" Rong Ying was slightly lost.

Lin Changjing saw that she was absent-minded, and thought that she had misunderstood that he was going to Jinren Palace to find Wu Xinlan, so he hurriedly said: "I went to Jinren Palace to meet the saint. The emperor has been in Jinguifei Palace these days, so I had to go Jinren Palace face saint. I told the emperor about the princess."

"Oh, that's it...then, have you told the emperor who the murderer is?"

Lin Changjing nodded: "I only said that the murderer Zhang Liang is dead, and did not mention his family. The emperor should not pursue it any further."

"Oh……"

"Aying, did you really hear Zhang Liang's mother say that Zhang Liang did everything that day?" Lin Changjing asked suddenly.

Rong Ying was startled, and said, "I heard it with my own ears, why, you don't believe me?"

Lin Changjing shook his head: "No, I just want to know, is there someone behind Zhang Liang?"

"You... why do you think so?"

"Do you remember that Li Sen once mentioned that Zhang Liang was originally a servant in the palace, but why did he leave the palace so easily and enter the general's mansion so 'coincidentally'? All this seems to be like someone already Was it premeditated?"

Rong Ying's eyes dodged: "How can there be so many conspiracies? I think everything is just a coincidence."

"Really?..." Lin Changjing lowered his head, still unable to let go.

Rongying saw Lin Changjing's expression in her eyes, and said in her heart: "Changjing, don't pursue it anymore, the truth is not what you want."

"General, something has happened!" Lin An hurried over, "General, I heard that a terrible corpse appeared in the west of the city. The death was tragic and unreasonable!"

When Lin Changjing and Rong Ying arrived at the accident site, officers and soldiers had already surrounded the scene, and the surrounding area was blocked by crowds.The two looked in, and saw a burly man lying on the ground with his eyes wide open and white foam hanging from his mouth, as if he had seen something terrible.

A head catcher saw Lin Changjing and came forward to salute him: "General, why are you here?"

"I just heard the news and came to take a look. You don't have to worry about me, I won't hinder you from doing things."

"Where is the general?" The officer glanced at the corpse and said, "There is no external injury on this man's body. After careful inspection, no internal injury was found. It is said...he was frightened to death!"

Looking at the man's face, Rong Ying felt as if she had seen it before?Suddenly she was startled, isn't this one of the men Wu Xinlan hired to bully Ye Chunhua?Although she only had a glimpse of Wu Xinlan from her memory, this person was the leader of those men, so Rong Ying had an impression of him.

At this time, a catcher walked up to the head catcher, leaned into his ear and said something, and then saw the face of the head catcher change.The head catcher turned to Lin Changjing and said, "General, there are corpses similar to this male corpse in four other places in the city, we have to rush over there to have a look!"

Both Lin Changjing and Rong Ying were shocked when they heard the words, Lin Changjing hurriedly said: "You have worked hard, go quickly."

"Farewell!"

The catcher bowed his hands, leaving a few catchers to clean up the scene, and left in a hurry with the others.

Rong Ying lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said to Lin Changjing, "Shall we go back?"

Lin Changjing nodded, and took Rong Ying back to the General's Mansion.But after returning to the mansion, Rong Ying did not stay in the mansion obediently, she ran out of the mansion secretly, and went to check the place where the other four corpses appeared.At a glance, Rong Ying's conjecture was confirmed, these people were all the people who bullied Ye Chunhua at that time, obviously their death had something to do with Ye Chunhua!Thinking of this, Rong Ying frowned, Ye Chunhua seemed to want to make things big, and Wu Xinlan's crimes might be discovered soon.

Just as she was thinking like this, Rong Ying suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing in the crowd, it was Lin Changjing!
Lin Changjing stood outside and chatted with the headhunter, and learned that the man lying dead here, like the other four corpses in the city, was "scared" to death.And someone recognized that these people belonged to a gang who often bullied men and women in the alleys of the western suburbs.Such a few people died suddenly and tragically overnight. People can easily think of Jianghu vendettas, but these people have no scars on their bodies, and they were not poisoned to death. Everyone has a look of fear on their faces. I felt scared to death.

Lin Changjing suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder, he turned his head and saw that it was Rongying, he couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Then why are you here?" Rong Ying asked back.

Lin Changjing pulled Rong Ying aside, and said in a low voice, "I don't know why, but I have an intuition that this has something to do with the princess."

"It has something to do with the princess?" Rong Ying pretended to be puzzled.

Lin Changjing said: "I can't tell why, it's just a kind of intuition. In the past, I would have thought that someone was pretending to be a ghost, but now I believe that they might really be killed by ghosts. Although the princess is in the palace After entering the Lin Mansion, I haven't been out of the mansion very much, so I shouldn't have anything to do with these people, but I just have this strange intuition." Seeing Rong Ying lowering her eyebrows and thinking, Lin Changjing asked: "What about you? Why are you here?"

Rong Ying raised her eyes and said, "I couldn't find you in the mansion, so I thought you might come here, so I came to look for you."

"I shouldn't worry about this matter, let the Criminal Department handle it. I hope this matter has nothing to do with the princess. Zhang Liang is dead, and she should rest in peace."

Rong Ying lowered her eyes and said, "Let's go back."

The two were about to walk back when they suddenly saw a person standing blankly in the distance.The man was carrying a cloth bag on his shoulders, and he seemed to have just returned from a foreign country. He stared at the male corpse on the ground in horror, his legs trembling unceasingly.The head catcher also noticed this man, and he shouted at the man: "Who is that person over there? Come here!"

When the man heard the head catcher calling him, his body shook with fright, he turned his head and ran away.

"stop!"

The detectives ran quickly after the man, but the man was so far away and so fast that he finally escaped.

"Boss, he's running too fast, we can't catch up!" said a catcher panting.

The head catcher said: "That person obviously recognized the deceased, so we can't let him go. His house should be nearby, and he will come back sooner or later. He will be here tonight, and he must be captured!"

"Yes, boss!"

At night, Lin Changjing was still thinking about the case that happened during the day. He always felt that there was a cloud of suspicion in his heart. If it didn't dissipate, he could never feel at ease.Suddenly felt a figure swaying by the window, Lin Changjing looked up and couldn't help but startled: "It's so late, where is Ah Ying going?"

Lin Changjing got up and walked out of the room, following Rong Ying from a distance.
