Chapter 159 The Last Medicine
Chapter 159 The Last Medicine
County Magistrate Qiao didn't want to close the case this way.
But this solution is undoubtedly the best solution at present.
The murderers of both murders have been found and brought to justice.
Yuntong County's political achievements will not be affected by an unresolved case.
Most importantly, his son Qiao Ziyu was not involved. Even if someone leaked the news in the future and it was reported that Ye Xinyao was pregnant, Ziyu would at most be considered a victim of unrequited love.
This method is simply perfect.
At this time, the county magistrate no longer cared about Lord Lu's attitude.
Is there any way to have the best of both worlds?
If we continue to investigate the issues involving Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian, who knows what else might be involved.
After thinking everything through, County Magistrate Qiao finally changed his attitude.
"This matter is so complicated, but I didn't expect that by chance, it would turn out like this!"
"Zhang's mother and son were brave and fearless, and they dared to strike hard at the heinous murderer, and they deserve to be rewarded.
Go find Zhang Zong, and the county will reward him handsomely."
As for Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian...
"Since it has nothing to do with you, you can go back. You must remember that as citizens of Daliang, you must abide by the law to ensure your safety."
"That's what the adults said!"
Xiao Huaian had no expression on his face.
"As long as we abide by the law, your Excellency, as our father and mother, will definitely protect us and will not wrongly accuse us."
County Magistrate Qiao was speechless after being implied.
In fact, there are still many doubts in this case, such as the death of Zhang Dashan and his mother, and the origin of the murderer...
But the person was burned to charcoal. It was obviously impossible to continue the investigation with only the few people in the county government.
County Magistrate Qiao could only close the case hastily and labeled the killer a thief who coveted the Ye family's property.
As for where he came from, there was no way to find out.
Unless Ye Dacheng is resurrected, there will be an answer to this matter.
When Lu Changqing rushed to the county government office, the case had already come to an end.
He waited anxiously at the gate of the yamen, and only felt relieved when he saw Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian.
"I'm so glad you're all right!"
Lu Changqing patted his chest and said, "My heart really can't stand this kind of torture."
"We are not afraid of our own flaws, so what are you afraid of? Do you really think your sister and brother-in-law can kill people?"
Ye Xinran teased him.
"That's not the case. I'm just afraid that the county magistrate will not be able to distinguish right from wrong and make a wrongful conviction. I've just thought about it. If it doesn't work, I'll have to ask my uncle to plead for mercy."
"Dean Wei?"
Ye Xinran smiled, "Dean Wei is only interested in reading the books of sages. As a scholar, he is not willing to interfere in these matters. But fortunately, you don't want to go find your father."
Lu Changqing: "I will never look for him unless it is absolutely necessary. Besides, he may not be able to help me even if I look for him."
"I'm not afraid that he won't care. I'm just afraid that if he gets involved, things will get even more chaotic."
Thinking of Lord Lu, Ye Xinran's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
They walked outside while talking.
Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian were brought here by the yamen runners, not in a carriage, so Lu Changqing asked the coachman to send them back first.
Wei House.
As Lu Tingen listened to the servant's report, he couldn't help but clench the teacup in his hand.
Suzaku, actually died in Yunbian Village?
He is the leader of the four guards in the palace.
The other three guards were no match for him at all, so how could they be defeated by two villagers?
Xuanwu saw the dark face of the Marquis and quickly advised: "Marquis, I think the county magistrate just wants to get away with it. The person who died may not be Zhuque."
The Marquis finally put down the teacup.
“Who else could it be if not him?
We have been here for so long, but Suzaku has not shown up. We have searched every corner of the city, but there is no trace of him left.
Tell me, if he is not dead, what else could be the reason?"
Xuanwu was speechless. His thoughts were the same as the Marquis'.
As guards of the Marquis' Mansion, when performing a mission, no matter what emergency situation you encounter and you need to leave, you must leave an internal mark to make it easier for the next person to take over.
It's impossible for Suzaku to just disappear without any reason.
He left no marks, so someone must have killed him when Suzaku was unprepared.
But what kind of person could kill Zhuque so quietly without leaving even a trace?
The Marquis tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"Go check Ye Xinran's husband and see where he came from!"
"Yes!"
Xuanwu took the order and retreated.
Across the courtyard, Lu Changqing was also telling Leng Qingyu what happened today.
Leng Qingyu was nervous the whole time, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Lu Changqing said that the two of them had returned home safely.
"These two children are pitiful. How could they be involved in a murder case?"
"Mom, maybe it's not bad luck?"
Lu Changqing reminded.
"I always feel that this is not such a coincidence! The Ye family has been prosperous in Yuntong County for so many years, and nothing has happened. Why did everyone in his family suddenly get killed when we came here this time?"
Once you develop a prejudice against a person, you will inevitably think that all problems are related to him.
His mother was poisoned, the Ye family was silenced, do these things really have nothing to do with his father?
Leng Qingyu knew what his son was thinking.
Although she was sure that there would be no problem with Lu Tingen, she was not so foolish as to do so.
"I know you doubt your father, but you have to promise me that no matter what you do or say, don't let your father know."
She reminded her son.
"mother!"
Lu Changqing was very surprised by Leng Qingyu's words.
"You also doubt...?"
Leng Qingyu poured another basin of cold water on him.
"I have no doubts. I just don't want you to have any rifts in your heart, so I won't stop you from finding out the truth. However, I don't want you to let your father know and affect the relationship between you and your son."
"I understand, mother."
Lu Changqing left Leng Qingyu's room, feeling a little stuffy in his chest.
He is a smart man, but his intelligence is limited to reading.
No matter how obscure the text is, it is not difficult for him. However, when it comes to investigating a case and finding the truth, he doesn't know where to start.
But now he is no longer alone, he still has a sister who can help him.
I believe that together they will be able to find out the truth of the matter.
Ye Xinran's home.
Ye Xinran put the last portion of medicine residue that Chang Qing gave her into the testing instrument.
There were no problems with the drugs tested previously.
This last one is particularly important.
Ye Xinran sat quietly in the laboratory, waiting for the test results.
Until the red light indicating that the test was completed flashed, she stood up and picked up the test form. The more she looked at it, the tighter her brows furrowed.
