The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 316 The Heiresses ([-]) (Third update)

"...Your Highness Seventh, when and where did you meet the Fuqu businessman?"

"About three days ago, she found a cloth shop under my name and said that she wanted to do long-term and large-scale silk transactions with us in the future. The shopkeeper in my shop couldn't decide, so she told me about it. We I met once at that time."

"Oh, so you have actually met each other? Then why did someone say that you had a dispute over a treasure bowl in Dongshi?"

"It was in an antique shop at the time, and I was the one who saw the treasure bowl first. It was a dispute, but in fact it was just a few words between us arguing about who came first. Later, the other party couldn't argue with me, so he left first."

"Then how is your silk business going with this person, Your Majesty Seventh Prince?"

"No, this person has no integrity. She didn't come to the appointment on the second day of the agreement to sign the contract. But it is impossible for me to kill someone for this kind of thing."

The Seventh Emperor's tone was very sincere when she said these words.

But in the ears of the audience, they felt that she was more and more suspected of murder.

With a status as noble as yours, the Seventh Princess, you are given a green light when doing business with ordinary people, and the other party snatches an antique treasure bowl from you without even batting an eyelid. If this person becomes angry, he will be very evil. Bian Sheng!

"Then why are you at this inn today, Your Highness Seventh Prince?"

"This matter is related to the woman who ran into my guard's knife. It was she who secretly came back to me after Fuqu Merchant left the antique shop and told me that her master actually wanted to have sex with me in the inn. The deal, but her master couldn’t help but turn around in person, so he asked her to tell me about it. That’s why I came here with my attendants.”

"Then, have you had any quarrels since you met?"

"No, the canal-supporting businessman didn't seem to know that I was coming. I thought I was being fooled. Before I could say a few words to her, a servant beside her suddenly threw up his hands and killed her one after another. with another servant..."

The female officer couldn't help interjecting when she heard this, "The servant who killed the man, shouldn't he be the same person on the ground?"

Seeing the seventh emperor nodded, the contempt in the eyes of the surrounding people grew even worse.

make up!You can make up the Seventh Princess as much as you can, we want to see how long you can make it up!

After a question-and-answer session with the female officer in charge of investigating the case, it was the seventh princess who was unable to clear her family of murder suspicions, and was decided by the former to "invite" her to the warden department.

Seeing that the Seventh Princess was about to be taken away, Lin Shu, who had been sitting in the carriage and listened to all the conversations between the two parties, suddenly got up, opened the curtain and walked out.

"Wait a minute!"

Her sudden cry startled everyone outside and also the two men in the car.

Mo Han and Su Lingqiu didn't know at all, why did their wife, who was still sitting comfortably, suddenly got up and ran out?Doesn't the wife master know that it's dangerous outside and she shouldn't show up?

The seventh princess who was about to follow the female officer to the warden department suddenly heard this somewhat familiar voice.

She turned her head to look behind her, and unexpectedly saw the figure standing outside the carriage.

That's... Si Huangjie?How did she appear here?

Because Lin Shu's four princesses stay in the mansion all year round and do not go out, they seldom show up in front of people.

Now many people didn't know who she was after seeing her pale and thin face.

I saw Lin Shu getting off the carriage slowly, and because the people around took the initiative to get out of the way, she was able to walk in front of the female official who insisted on taking away the seventh princess for investigation.

This young female warden official also did not recognize Lin Shu, the Fourth Princess.

It was the Seventh Queen who took the initiative to call "Sister Four", and she and the people around her learned of Lin Shu's identity.

After knowing Lin Shu's identity, she bowed her head and saluted Lin Shu.

However, she was a little puzzled in her heart, why did another emperor appear here so well?

Could it be that this street has some special attraction for the princesses?

Before she could ask Ming Lin Shu why she came, the latter directly asked the seventh imperial daughter, "Seventh imperial sister, you just said that the real murderer was the servant who had fallen to the ground and died. Then, do you still remember that the other party used What kind of knife is it?"

As soon as Lin Shu came up, she asked questions directly, and the questions were still about the case, but the Seventh Queen and the female officer were all stunned.

Only Xiaoyu, the female guard next to the Seventh Princess, responded, "It's a long knife with a narrow back, it seems to be foldable into a short knife."

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, a small official who had previously searched the woman with long braids in a mandarin jacket who had fallen to the ground suddenly remembered something.She quickly took out a white cloth bag from the evidence tray on the ground, and when she opened it, there was a short knife inside.

After getting permission from the female officer's eyes, the officer stretched out his hand and opened the short knife. As a result, most of the front end of the knife popped out in an instant, turning into a long knife with a narrow back!

Seeing this, the female officer shrank her eyes slightly, and she couldn't help turning her head to look at Lin Shu and said, "Could it be that the Fourth Highness suspects that the murderer is a fallen man? But there is no blood on this knife?"

Lin Shu didn't answer her words, instead she looked around at the people present and asked, "I know that many of you here have seen the scene where the felled man cried earlier, right? I want to ask , Do any of you still remember, when the guard next to the Seventh Princess drew out the knife, was the knife in her hand white or red?"

As soon as she said this, all the people in the audience started whispering.

"Yes, why didn't I think of this? If the female guard killed the person, there must be blood on the knife!"

"When the female guard drew the knife, there seemed to be no blood on the knife?"

"The knife is definitely white! I clearly remember the flash of light from the knife at that time. I thought the light was too glaring!"

The chattering voices of the common people removed a lot of suspicion from the Seventh Emperor's daughter.

Only then did the female officer see that Lin Shu jumped out this time to absolve the Seventh Princess of murder.

So she asked Lin Shu again, "What if they wiped the knife clean after killing someone with a knife?"

Lin Shu nodded again and again when she heard the words, "That's right. The Seventh Emperor's daughter may have wiped the knife, and the real murderer may have wiped the knife after the murder. After killing someone, if you can find a handy knife immediately Cloth, it is much more convenient to wipe the knife.”

Lin Shu's words taught the female officer to shrink her eyes again.

She turned her head to look at the fallen dead man, whose clothes were already soaked in blood at the moment.

But upon closer inspection, those bloodstains were not all caused by fatal wounds on the chest, some were stained before!
Because there is a big difference in the color of old and new blood stains on clothes.

On the other hand, the master and servant of the Seventh Princess were all neatly dressed, with no trace of blood on their bodies.

Seeing that the female officer's expression was slightly shaken, Lin Shu knew that she had discovered the clue, and immediately asked the female guard Xiao Yu while the iron was hot.

"If your master really wants you to kill people, if ten people besiege you at the same time, how many of them can you kill in three breaths?"

Xiaoyu, who was very confident in his martial arts, replied proudly, "If we were both warriors, I could kill at least five of them within three breaths! If we were ordinary people, I could kill ten people instantly!"

Hearing this, Lin Shu looked at the female official again and said, "May I ask this lord, if the perpetrator of the murder at the inn is really the Seventh Emperor or the female guard under her. Then the two of them When dealing with the three of them, even if the seventh imperial daughter doesn't make a move, based on the strength of this female guard alone, is it necessary for her to deliberately let go of one of the three, and even let the other party flee to the street and shout?"

Hearing this, the female officer's original judgment began to waver.

She couldn't help but think of the fact that no one else was there when the incident happened on the second floor.

And once the girl with long braids in a mandarin jacket died, the victim in this case would not have any living witnesses.

In this way, the situation would be unfavorable to the Seventh Princess and the others.Because as the parties concerned, any remarks they make to excuse themselves may not be accepted and will instead deepen their suspicions.

Thinking of this, the female officer couldn't help but look at the frail fourth princess with admiration.

She didn't expect the other party to point out the abnormality that she didn't find so quickly.

But even so, she still had to follow the case handling procedures and take the Seventh Princess back to the Warden Department.

Before parting, the seventh princess suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

She took a step forward, and suddenly stretched out her arms to embrace Lin Shu, hugging the latter tightly.

This sudden hug made Lin Shu's body stiff.

In the next second, the seventh princess whispered a word in her ear, and immediately let go of the hug.

After she walked a few steps away, she suddenly turned her head and gave Lin Shu a fixed look, then turned and left. This time, she didn't look back.

Lin Shu watched her back as she followed the female warden officer away, and her heart beat wildly for no reason.

Seeing that the seventh emperor was still taken away, the people who had nothing to watch gradually dispersed.

Seeing that the road was now clear, Mo Han urged the carriage driver to stop in front of Lin Shu and called his wife to get on the carriage and go home.

After Lin Shu got into the car, Mo Han originally wanted to ask her why she took the risk to get out of the car suddenly.

But as soon as he saw that Lin Shu's expression looked a little strange, he stopped talking.

When the car carrying Lin Shu disappeared on this street, a woman's figure suddenly flashed past in a corner of a dark wall nearby.

After returning to her mansion, Lin Shu didn't sleep well that night.

The affairs of the Seventh Princess were always weighing on her mind, making her sleepless.

The next day, after breakfast, she was about to send someone to the Warden to investigate the situation, but she didn't expect someone to come to her door early in the morning and bring her news about the Seventh Princess.

The person who came was the eighth imperial daughter who was the same mother as the most favored nine imperial daughters.

Among the several sisters, the eighth princess has the closest relationship with the seventh princess, and she is not very close to her own sister.

Right now, she hastily found Lin Shu's mansion because she heard that Lin Shu was there when the Seventh Queen's accident happened yesterday.

And the first thing she said after Lin Shu brought herself to the study and turned back left and right made Lin Shu startled.

"Sister Sihuang, do you know? Sister Seventh Emperor... She died in her own home last night! Some people say that she committed suicide in fear of crime, but I don't believe it..." The Eighth Prince's eyes turned red as she spoke.

Lin Shu almost didn't hear what she said next, because all that was echoing in her mind was what the Seventh Princess said in her ear yesterday.

What she said at that time was - Sister Yonko, I feel like someone is trying to harm me, someone wants my life, and I'm scared.
