Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"Why?"

Xu Xingyin and Lu Xu began to analyze the situation seriously.

"Tian Zitao handled such a big case as the Zhennan General's Mansion. He must have been close to being rewarded, right? But he just returned to Beijing and he disappeared inexplicably. How could such a coincidence exist in this world?"

Lu Xu also understood the hidden meaning of Xu Xingyin's words. This matter was indeed strange.

"Then what do you mean?"

Xu Xingyin's gaze fell on Lu Xu tenaciously. Although he was small in stature, he had an unquestionable aura.

"I'm afraid Tian Zitao's death was to cover up the truth that the entire Zhennan General's Mansion was imprisoned."

Lu Xu thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"I know about this matter. I will definitely keep an eye on it for you. If there is any news, I will inform you in time."

"This matter concerns the innocence of my maternal family. I will never sit idly by. Your current position in the Royal Guard is awkward. I guess you don't have many assistants in this investigation, right? Take me with you. I can help you."

Lu Xu had no doubt that Xu Xingyin could help him.

Xu Xingyin has been a smart guy since he was young and has many ideas. In the past, whenever his playmates got into trouble, it was usually Xu Xingyin who found ways to solve it.

But this time, Lu Xu rejected Xu Xingyin's request without even thinking about it.

"No! This is extremely dangerous. You don't have any martial arts skills. You must not take this risk."

"Lu Xu!"

Xu Xingyin's eyes turned red with anger when he heard this.

"The Zhennan General's Mansion was wrongly accused! Now my grandfather has died tragically, and the rest of the people are imprisoned in Jiangning Prison. How can I turn a blind eye? Even if there is a slight chance, I will fight for them."

Lu Xu learned martial arts under General Zhennan, so he naturally knew that Xu Xingyin had a close relationship with General Zhennan's Mansion.

But precisely because of this, he couldn't let Xu Xingyin investigate the matter.

Because he believed that no one in the Zhennan General's Mansion wanted Xu Xingyin to get involved in this matter. They just wanted...

She can live a good life.

"Jiaojiao, don't be willful."

Lu Xu frowned and scolded her in a low voice.

"Do you think the capital is Jiangning? There are countless important officials and nobles here. If you are not careful and get into trouble, you will lose your life."

Jiaojiao is Xu Xingyin's childhood nickname, and also her courtesy name.

When Lu Xu called her Jiaojiao, his words were always particularly intimate.

But Xu Xingyin was not the kind of person who would be persuaded to back down with just a few words. He snorted lightly, took a few steps back, and put some distance between himself and Lu Xu.

"Since Lord Lu is unwilling to take me with him, I will investigate on my own! If we meet in the future, I hope Lord Lu can turn a blind eye to it for the sake of our past friendship."

After saying this, Xu Xingyin raised his foot and was about to walk into the house.

A long sigh floated from behind him, and then Xu Xingyin was pulled by the man's arm and pressed against the wall.

The little girl was still as stubborn as ever, holding her chin high and refusing to retreat.

"Why are you……"

When their eyes met, there seemed to be a slight flicker in Lu Xu's eyes, and then he sighed softly.

"Why are you always so stubborn?"

Apparently, Xu Xingyin also sensed Lu Xu's hesitation and called out to him, blinking pitifully.

"Ayan."

Xu Xingyin is always like this. Whenever he needs help, he likes to call him like this.

And he always suffered defeat by the same trick.

This time was no exception, and Lu Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's all. I need to handle the formalities and transfer the case files in the next two days. I'll pick you up the afternoon after tomorrow."

"Thank you, Ayang. I knew you were the best!"

Xu Xingyin smiled like a flower when she heard that.

Her pair of almond-shaped eyes curved into a crescent shape, which made Lu Xu lose his temper for no reason, and he couldn't help but remind her.

"Duke Xu's mansion is not the Zhennan General's mansion. There are countless eyes watching you whenever you go in and out. If you are caught, no one can save you."

Xu Xingyin was no longer happy when he heard that. It was indeed difficult to go out without being discovered.

Seeing the little girl deep in thought, Lu Xu was about to persuade her to stay put.

Before he could finish his words, Xu Xingyin clapped his hands and laughed like a fox.

Lu Xu instinctively felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, Xu Xingyin came over with a smile and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Xu's face trembled slightly when he heard this, and he asked half doubtfully.

"Will this work?"

Xu Xingyin nodded confidently, "This will definitely work!"

"Ok."

Lu Xu agreed reluctantly. Seeing that it was getting late outside, he said a few more words to Xu Xingyin and then jumped out of sight.

……

The next day.

Gui Po has changed his job to serve in a new courtyard, so it is no longer appropriate for him to use his original name.

Xu Xingyin thought about it and changed it to Dangui. Chen also thought it was a good idea. As they were discussing it, a nanny came in and said:

"Someone outside is looking for Miss Seven, claiming to be her savior."

Xu Xingyin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately knew that this was her trick!

Just as Chen was wondering, she saw Xu Xingyin pulling her hand, looking pitiful.

"Mother, it is true. My daughter was chased by someone on her way back to Beijing. If it weren't for this benefactor, I would not have lived to see you!"

Upon hearing that this was true, Chen couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude.

"Mother will go with you. Please express your gratitude to this benefactor."

Xu Xingyin nodded obediently, "Thank you, mother."

After a stick of incense——

Chen looked at the ferocious dog opposite and subconsciously took two steps back.

Pointing at the vicious dog, he asked Xu Xingyin, "This... is this the benefactor you mentioned?"

Xu Xingyin hadn't expected that the unreliable Lu Xu would find such a ferocious dog, and smiled with a stiff face.

"Yes, it protected me all the way back."

Lu Xu, in disguise, smoothed his straw-like hair and smiled flatteringly.

"Miss, please take a look at the silver we agreed on..."

You know what, it does look quite like that.

Xu Xingyin nodded, handed over the silver and sent Lu Xu away, and then told Chen the story he had made up with tears in his eyes.

In this way, Xu Xingyin raised the ferocious dog in Chenguang Pavilion in the name of saving his life and named it Fugui.

Thanks to Fugui, everyone outside Chenguang Pavilion kept a close eye on them, for fear of being hurt by the vicious dog.

Dangui was also afraid of Fugui, so Xu Xingyin tied Fugui to the stairs and rested there himself while Dangui was busy with her work in the yard.

Before Lu Xu came to pick up Xu Xingyin, Xu Xingyin specifically told Dangui that she needed to rest for a while and that she was not needed to serve him.

So until Xu Xingyin walked out of the Duke's Mansion, no one noticed that a young lady was missing from the mansion.

After Xu Xingyin got on the carriage prepared by Lu Xu, before she even sat down, the man threw a thick stack of files into her arms.

The file recorded the entire story of the case, everyone's testimonies, etc. It was filled with words, but Xu Xingyin still patiently read on.
