The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 65 Suicide in Fear of Crime or Murder?
"Mr. Gu's clothes have been found. Fortunately, the slave went one step earlier, and the servants in the mansion are preparing to burn them."

The young servant took out a purse and jade bracelet from his sleeve, put them on with both hands, and said: "The clothes are already dirty and tattered, I have searched them carefully, and there are only this jade bracelet and purse in the clothes, nothing else, Mr. Gu Look, what you're looking for, but these two?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you."

Lin Qingqian handed the purse and jade bracelet to Gu Changgeng, the servant bowed and bowed, and said, "The servant will step back first, Mr. Gu and the third miss will call the servant if they have something to do."

After the servant retreated, Lin Qingqian looked at Gu Changgeng suspiciously.

Before she could ask the doubts in her heart, Gu Changgeng first said: "I almost lost it, but luckily the boy just found it back."

"Brother Chang Geng, this purse and bracelet are very heavy to you..."

Gu Changgeng handed the jade bracelet to Lin Qingqian, "On the day I left the house, I went to Qingchengfang to redeem the bracelet you mortgaged in Qingchengfang. Take it, don't mortgage or lose it at will. , this is a relic left by your mother, it should be very important."

Lin Qingqian suddenly remembered that this jadeite bracelet was left to Yuanshen by the Fifth Madam, she hadn't looked at it carefully before, and after it was mortgaged, she forgot about it, never thinking that Gu Changgeng went to redeem it on purpose.

Lin Qingqian put on the jadeite bracelet and said gratefully, "Thank you Brother Chang Geng."

Gu Changgeng coughed unnaturally: "You don't need to thank me, this bracelet was originally bought by you to help me repair the jade pendant, I should redeem it for you."

"But if I hadn't forced Brother Chang Geng out of the mansion, and if you wanted to help me redeem the bracelet, you wouldn't have been seriously injured by thieves when you left the mansion, and you were almost..."

Lin Qingqian's guilt at this moment is real.

She is not the original body, this bracelet is insignificant to her, but it almost killed him.

"Don't think about it, if you didn't try your best to stop those two thieves a few times, I'm afraid I would have lost my life and become the ghost of their sword."

Thinking of Lin Qingqian's firm expression that day, and coming back to rescue him without fear of danger, Gu Changgeng felt warmth in his heart.

"But……"

Before all the words were finished, a servant's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang."

The door of the wing room was pushed open, and Shen Fei led a man in official uniform who looked to be in his early thirties to enter.

"Miss San, you are here. It just so happens that Mr. Jiang doesn't need to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again."

Seeing Lin Qingqian looking at the man suspiciously, Shen Fei smiled and said: "This is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Jiang Chongqing, ordered by the emperor to preside over the assassination case of Young Master Gu."

Jiang Chongqing stepped forward and bowed his hands, saying: "Young Master Gu, Third Miss, I was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter. I came here today. The thief has been captured. I came to ask for some details."

Gu Changgeng and Lin Qingqian looked at each other, stood up and blessed his body, and said, "Master Jiang, please, brother Changgeng and I will tell you everything we know."

Jiang Chongqing nodded, took out two portraits from his sleeves, spread them out in front of the two of them, and said: "This is the portrait of the two thieves drawn by the artist ordered by the official. Please look at Mr. Gu and Miss San. The people in this portrait, but The thieves who committed murder with a sword that day?"

Gu Changgeng and Lin Qingqian looked at the portrait carefully, and recognized at a glance that it was the two men in black who were chasing after that day, with rough faces, fierce eyes, and a vicious look.

Lin Qingqian nodded and said, "That's right, it was these two people who chased me and brother Chang Geng that day."

Jiang Chongqing said: "I know, this case can be closed, and I will go to the palace to report the details of the case to the emperor."

Lin Qingqian called to stop Jiang Chongqing: "Master Jiang, please wait."

"Miss San, do you have something else to say?"

"Yes, since the culprit has been captured, did the culprit explain who ordered them to kill Brother Chang Geng?"

"This……"

Jiang Chongqing paused, and after thinking for a moment, said: "During the interrogation, the two confessed and no one instructed them. The two families were poor. Seeing that Mr. Gu was dressed in extraordinary clothes and was alone, they became malicious and wanted to rob him. They kept following Mr. Gu for some money, and then saw that the third lady was only accompanied by a maid, and the two of them were even more blinded by money and decided to attack."

Lin Qingqian and Gu Changgeng frowned at the same time.

Such a statement cannot be true. Gu Changgeng was dressed in ordinary clothes that day, and the two men in black made a fatal move. From the beginning to the end, they never asked a word about money. It seemed that they wanted to take someone life.

Seeing that the two were silent, Shen Fei asked suspiciously: "But is there something wrong?"

Lin Qingqian shook her head lightly, "It's just a little strange. If the two of you just want to grab money, it would be too heavy handed. It's like... just want to take people's lives."

"The two thieves confessed that they hadn't been able to succeed. The two were impatient, fearing that they would be caught by the city guards who arrived, so they wanted to do two things endlessly, so they started harder."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Lin Qingqian pretended to have suddenly realized, and asked again: "Then how will the two thieves deal with the case after the Ministry of Criminal Justice finalizes the case?"

Jiang Chongqing said: "The two culprits knew that they could not escape the death penalty, so early this morning, they committed suicide in prison in fear of crime."

Lin Qingqian frowned even tighter.

Suicide in fear of crime?

Isn't it that the people behind are afraid of finding out something by following the clues, and killing people to silence them?

Jiang Chongqing was naturally suspicious, but the person was dead and the clues had been broken. The emperor ordered to find out the truth quickly, so he could only hastily close the case as soon as possible.

Seeing that Jiang Chongqing was in a hurry to leave, Shen Fei said: "Master Jiang is in a hurry to enter the palace to face the saint, so this son will not leave you for tea before leaving. Please, this son will send you off to Master Jiang."

"Okay, sir, thank you, Shizi Shen."

When the two left the wing room, Lin Qingqian looked at Gu Changgeng, whose eyes were drooping slightly, with a gloomy expression, and asked, "Brother Changgeng, do you think those two people really wanted to murder for money?"

Gu Changgeng twitched the corner of his mouth, and the sarcasm in his eyes flashed, so fast that Lin Qingqian didn't notice it.

He said: "Master Jiang is very aware of the details. He has already interrogated, so there must be nothing wrong."

"But..." Lin Qingqian thought about it, but swallowed the words back.

Even if they insisted that the other party did not murder for money, and now there is no proof, what results can be found out.

Lin Qingqian was holding a puff of breath in her chest, and she couldn't help being a little upset.

Gu Changgeng restrained his emotions, stared at her for a while, and said suddenly: "If you encounter danger again in the future, remember that protecting yourself is the most important thing."

Lin Qingqian was taken aback, "Huh?" asked, "Brother Chang Geng said that I will go back that day?"

"That's right, if it wasn't for the momentary carelessness of those two, you... the consequences would be disastrous."

Lin Qingqian blinked her black and white eyes, and after a moment, she muttered: "But if I want to leave Brother Chang Geng alone and go away, I can't do it, I don't want you to have something to do..."

Gu Changgeng pursed his thin lips tightly.

At this moment, he wanted to reach out and touch Lin Qingqian's head, but before he could move, Shen Fei sent Jiang Chongqing back.

Shen Fei said with a smile: "Miss San, it's time to eat, my son has someone prepare lunch, how about having dinner together today?"
