Chapter 255: No Clues at All
Chapter 255: No Clues at All
Lin Congyun smiled when he heard this, but his heart was already in turmoil.
These few days, Fang Deyong went to the border military camp with the Tiger Order, but he didn't expect that he would sneak in at this time.
In other words, Mo Yunqi had a clear grasp of the movements of the people in the mansion, and it seemed that he had spies in the mansion.
When he came to Bianyun Pass with the identity of the Second Prince, he was followed by the Second Prince's men, and Mo Yunqi was also the Second Prince's man. So, this spy was most likely a guard around the Second Prince.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Lin Congyun's eyes.
It seems that she needs to clean up the people in the house.
However, the actions of this man in black tonight were not without any gains.
At least, she was now certain that Mo Yunqi had indeed suspected her, and he seemed very sure that the Second Prince was in the mansion.
However, he was not sure where the second prince was in the mansion, so he sent people in to test it out.
If she had been wearing the second prince's human skin mask just now, perhaps the man in black would not have left.
Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea.
Since Mo Yunqi suspected that the Second Prince was hiding in the mansion, she would let the Second Prince appear in front of everyone openly. In this way, Mo Yunqi would come to her automatically.
During this period, people close to the Second Prince told him that he was recuperating from illness, so he rarely showed up in public.
Now, in order to get the Second Prince to show up, we can also use the excuse that the Second Prince has recovered from illness.
After making up his mind, early the next morning, Lin Congyun sent people to the streets to spread the news that the second prince had recovered.
Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, Mo Yunqi brought people to the door.
"I heard that the second prince has recovered from his illness, so I came here specially to visit him." Mo Yunqi looked at Lin Congyun and said with concern.
Lin Congyun was lying on the bed, looking at the person in front of her. She was not sure whether this person was Mo Yunqi, but according to the previous routine, she decided to test it first.
"Who are you?" Lin Congyun pretended to be the angry second prince, "Come quickly, I don't know him, get him out."
Hearing Lin Congyun's order, the guards rushed forward and were about to drive Mo Yunqi out.
"Second Prince, don't you recognize me? I am Mo Yunqi." Mo Yunqi said anxiously while dodging the guards' hands.
"Mo Yunqi?" Lin Congyun frowned and pretended to be trying hard to recall, "Oh, this prince remembers Mo Yunqi, but you are not him."
Lin Congyun was also taking a gamble, betting that the real Mo Yunqi would not appear so easily.
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, the man's face changed. He knocked out the person who was trying to stop him, and then he flashed to the center of the yard, holding a long sword and pointing it directly at Lin Congyun in the room.
At this time, Lin Congyun also walked out wearing an outer coat. She was not afraid of the sword pointed at her at all. Instead, she had a smile on her face.
"Sure enough, you are not Mo Yunqi. Tell me, who are you?"
Lin Congyun's words stunned the man for a moment, but he quickly reacted and snorted coldly, "I'm not Mo Yunqi, but I also know that you are fake..."
Before he could finish his words, the man's mouth was whipped by Lin Congyun's soft whip.
This made him very angry, and he swung his sword and stabbed towards Lin Congyun.
Lin Congyun was prepared and dodged the man's attack with a flash of his body.
"Want to kill me? It's not that easy."
Lin Congyun sneered, and his figure flashed, causing the guards to launch an attack at the same time. For a moment, sword shadows were intertwined in the yard.
As the fierce battle in the courtyard intensified, Lin Congyun keenly realized that this person was no ordinary person. His swordsmanship was sharp and his moves were deadly. It was obvious that he had received rigorous training.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, something unexpected happened. The man fell straight down again, without a breath.
Looking at the dead person lying on the ground, Lin Congyun frowned.
Just like last time, this person also died of poisoning. It seems that the person behind the killings is the same one.
Thinking of this, Lin Congyun's heart sank. The person behind this was so skilled that he could kill two people in succession in her house, and she had no clues at all.
This forced Lin Congyun to take it seriously.
After carefully examining the corpse, Lin Congyun discovered that this person was also wearing a human skin mask.
After tearing off the human skin mask, a very ordinary face was revealed, and Lin Congyun looked at the human skin mask in his hand and began to think.
Since Mo Yunqi is best at making human skin masks, is it possible that this human skin mask was made according to his own appearance?
Otherwise, this person wouldn't have said that to her just now, "But I also know that you are fake..."
It seems that this person knew that Lin Congyun did not recognize Mo Yunqi, so he said this.
But why did these people all die in the end?
The cause of death this time is the same as last time...
Could it be that Mo Yunqi is actually in the prefect's residence, and if the people sent there are at risk of being caught, they will be killed immediately?
Thinking of this, Lin Congyun felt it was very possible.
At this moment, she turned around and glanced at all the guards in the yard.
Today, the guards were all around the Second Prince. After these two incidents, she no longer dared to trust these people easily.
Now, she must find a way to lure Mo Yunqi out and then catch him.
But how do we lure the snake out of its hole?
Lin Congyun thought for a moment and soon came up with a solution.
She stood up and shouted outside the yard: "Someone come!"
The people guarding outside were all Lin Congyun's men. Upon hearing the shouting, the guards immediately rushed in.
"Just now, an assassin broke in and tried to kill this prince. You keep these people under guard."
When the Second Prince's men heard this, they all didn't understand.
"Second Prince,
We are here to protect you, why do you want to keep us all under guard?"
"Yes, Second Prince, what do you mean?"
"Shut up, everyone." Lin Congyun shouted sternly, "I suspect that there are accomplices of the assassin among you, so for my safety, you all must accept the investigation."
Lin Congyun's words shocked everyone, but soon they were all controlled by Lin Congyun's guards.
"Imprison them separately. This prince will interrogate them personally."
"Yes."
The guards agreed and prepared to escort the second prince's guards away.
Lin Congyun just didn't believe that Mo Yunqi would not reveal his true colors.
Sure enough, before the second prince's guards walked out of the yard, a man suddenly rushed out and threw a hidden weapon at Lin Congyun.
"Second Prince, be careful."
