After I was reborn, I became a supporting villain

Chapter 16 [Picking up Land] Gold Jewelry

Beads of sweat kept gushing out from the corners of Jinyu's forehead, her lips were a little pale, and she groaned in pain from time to time.

Seeing his appearance like this, Qingci grabbed her hem tightly and sat on the side of the bed.

Looking at him indifferently, but didn't speak, letting Jinyu struggle painfully on the bed.

After watching for a while, Qing Ci seemed to hear some small and weak voices, as if he was still muttering something from his mouth.

Qingci leaned over and listened carefully, and actually called Zhaohua sentence by sentence.

She sneered, pulled out the corner of her clothes from his hand, got up and extinguished the candle, and stood alone in the dark.

Leaning against the window, silently praying that a ray of light would suddenly emerge from the endless darkness to guide her forward.

She knew that besides calm thinking, she had no other way to break the current deadlock.

Now that I think about it, she tried to test the relationship between Jinyu's case and the Emperor of Heaven on the first day she came to Chang'an, and Jinyu just showed noncommittal to her inquiry at that time.

There was a possibility that he didn't want to tell her the real answer.

But there is another possibility that he doesn't know the relationship between this case and the Emperor of Heaven at all, and only knows that solving the case can make progress with Zhaohua.

So what if it was the latter, that is to say, maybe it was Jiao Niang who told him about the relationship between the case and the Emperor of Heaven, and then followed this line of thought to find out the real purpose of the murderer.

So what kind of relationship will it be... Qingci fell into deep thought.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Ye came to the inn where Qingci and the others were staying very early, and brought some pastries, "My wife's sweet cakes, give Jinyu some to taste, I wonder if his health will improve."

Qingci took the wooden box and put it on the table, then ran to help Jinyu up, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a wet handkerchief, and then fed him the sweet porridge.

But as soon as he put it into his mouth, he spat it out. After repeated several times, he still didn't take a bite. Seeing that he was so embarrassed after eating porridge, Qingci hurriedly wiped the sweet porridge off his neckline with a handkerchief.

Seeing her like this, Li Ye felt that this girl really cared about Jinyu, "I'm relieved that Jinyu will be taken care of by you."

Qingci smiled secretly, raised his head and said to Li Ye, "Let's sort out the case first."

Li Ye found a chair and sat down, and took out the map, "Should we go to Daluo Mountain today to see the place where the mud slide happened and the river."

Qingci shook his head and asked him to put away the map, "We can start from this gold bracelet to find a breakthrough."

As she said that, she took the bracelet out of her sleeve, "I suspect that Jinyu is like this now because of this bracelet."

Li Ye didn't speak, but looked at Qingci very seriously.

"Someone has cast a spell on this bracelet. I don't know exactly which kind. I found it from Jinyu's arms last night. Jinyu shouldn't have put it in his arms..." When Qing Ci said this, his eyebrows seemed to be full of self-blame.

"So what should we do now?" Li Ye curiously picked up the bracelet and looked through it carefully.

"You'd better not touch that bracelet." Qingci said and took the bracelet back, "When I looked at this bracelet carefully last night, I found a tiny nick on the inside of the bracelet. There are no obvious small traces on the left and right sides of the mark, it should not be scratched randomly, but a mark that was covered up by later generations."

Li Ye was curious, and squinted his eyes for a long time before he found the scratch, "Zhenzhen, you have really good eyes."

"So now we only need to find a way to surface the imprint inside, and we will definitely find something."

"That's easy to handle. It's fine if you melt it."

"..." Qing Ci obviously didn't want to talk to him.

I just wondered how Li Ye became Chang'an's head arrester, and it's hard to say if he had gone through some back door.
