Chapter 748 Su Wuming 47
Chapter 748 Su Wuming 47
As soon as Lu Tong gave the order, the scene suddenly became chaotic. Before the detectives could react, they were caught by the Jinwu Guards like chicks.
Su Wuming stood there, motionless, allowing the Jinwu Guards to lock him up. He frowned, staring at Yuanlai on the ground, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. This case was full of doubts, and Yuanlai's death was even more confusing. There seemed to be a bigger conspiracy behind it.
Chu Hua had just untied Pei Xijun when she saw this dramatic scene and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Su Wuming frowned, looked at Chu Hua solemnly, shook his head slightly, and signaled her with his eyes not to act rashly. He blinked twice quickly, and then gave her a very slight wink, once again emphasizing that she should not act impulsively at this moment.
Chu Hua: Wow, I don’t understand...
Except for the two women Chu Hua and Pei Xijun, and Master Fei Ji who ran away secretly, all the others were taken away by the Jinwu Guards.
Pei Xijun watched Lu Lingfeng being taken away, anxiously trying to chase after him, but was stopped by Chu Hua.
"Ms. Xijun, don't be impulsive!"
Chu Hua tightly grasped Pei Xijun's arm and said in a low voice, "It will be useless to rush forward now. It will be counterproductive."
Pei Xijun's eyes were red, and he stamped his feet anxiously: "But, he..."
"Don't worry, he will be fine." Chu Huan comforted, patting the back of Pei Xijun's hand.
Pei Xijun still looked worried: "But..."
"No buts! Let's leave the ghost market first." Chu Huan interrupted her.
Chu Huan sent Pei Xijun back to the Minister's Mansion. On the way, she told Pei Xijun that the person she met at the beginning was not General Xiao, but Lu Lingfeng.
After leaving the ghost market, Pei Xijun was still in shock and held Chu Hua's arm tightly all the way.
Chu Hua could feel her slightly trembling body and her rapid breathing.
"Ms. Xijun, are you okay?" Chu Hua asked with concern.
Pei Xijun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but he still couldn't hide the fear in his eyes: "I... I'm fine, but I didn't expect the ghost market to be so scary."
"It's not that scary actually. It's mainly because we were unlucky. Also, as you just learned, the person you met was not our General Xiao, but General Lu Lingfeng, so you don't have to be sad anymore."
"Lu Lingfeng..." Xijun got used to this unfamiliar name.
"Today's incident was all thanks to the help of County Lieutenant Su and the young lady. Xijun is very grateful."
She bowed deeply and gracefully.
Chu Hua quickly helped her up: "Miss Xijun, there is no need to be so polite. Besides, County Magistrate Su and I are not here just for you. We are also investigating the case, and we also have to thank Minister Pei for his help."
She winked playfully, trying to ease Pei Xijun's uneasiness with a relaxed tone.
The carved red lacquer door slowly closed, isolating the splendor of the Minister's Mansion from the outside. Chu Hua let out a long sigh and rubbed her sore arms.
Although Pei Xijun looked weak, it was painful for him to grab someone when he was frightened.
Chu Huan hummed a tuneless little song while rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in Su Wuming's apartment. It was called an apartment, but in fact it was just a small courtyard with two entrances, not many rooms, and the decoration was simple, with nothing valuable.
Su Wuming has few hobbies other than solving cases. No wonder he is still single at his age. He deserves it!
She began to pack her luggage. After all, according to the plot, Su Wuming, the unfortunate man, was about to start his career with ups and downs...
She folded several of Su Wuming's frequently worn robes and put them into her bag, then found a few ancient books he often read and stuffed them into another "schoolbag".
After packing her luggage, Chu Huan sat cross-legged on Su Wuming's bed, holding her chin, and muttered to herself in the air: "Princess Taiping... this is an important person, should I remind her?"
She circled her fingers around a thread on the bed sheet, her thoughts wandering.
On the one hand, she had a good impression of Princess Taiping, a woman who left a significant mark in history. On the other hand, she was worried that her intervention would change the course of history. Wouldn't it be even worse if she ended up making things worse?
"Oh, it's so annoying!" Chu Huan suddenly fell on the bed, spread out her limbs, like a salted fish basking in the sun.
However, this princess also has many shortcomings, but they are understandable, as a netizen said well.
If her father was an emperor, her mother was an empress, her brother was also an emperor, her best friend was the first female prime minister of the dynasty, and she was her mother's most beloved youngest daughter, she might be even crazier than Princess Taiping.
Chu Huan jumped up from the bed, patted the wrinkles on her body, and said to herself: "Forget it, forget it, I'll just consider it as a good deed. If I can wear it back someday, I can brag in my circle of friends that 'I was the one who saved Princess Taiping'."
The Princess's Mansion was shrouded in darkness, so quiet that one could almost hear her heartbeat. Chu Huan crouched down, carefully avoiding the patrolling guards, and moved silently between the corridors like a nimble civet cat.
The invisibility spell worked very well. The guards passed by her without noticing anything unusual. There was even a yawning guard who almost bumped into her, causing Chu Hua to almost laugh out loud.
Just now she saw Su Wuming being carried away drunk, and she thought he must have angered the princess.
This princess also values talent. If it were someone else, she would have chopped him into pieces long ago. Su Wuming was simply promoted in name only and demoted in reality by her.
She groped her way to the outside of Princess Taiping's bedroom, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go in. Pushing open the half-open door, a faint fragrance came to her face, the smell of high-end incense, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Princess Taiping was leaning on the couch, holding a book in her hand, reading with relish in the dim candlelight.
Chu Huan silently complained in her heart: She is worthy of being a princess. This bedtime ritual is different. In modern times, who still reads paper books? They all hold their phones and watch Tik Tok.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the air and spread out like water waves. In the originally empty room, a girl in a goose yellow skirt appeared out of nowhere.
Princess Taiping looked up suddenly, the scroll in her hand fell, and her beautiful eyes widened as if she had seen something incredible.
Chu Hua smiled and bowed to her: "Your Highness, I am sorry to be frightened. I am here to show my respect."
She stood up suddenly, her eyes wide open, and pointed at Chu Hua. It took her a while to find her voice again: "You...are you a human or a ghost?!"
Chu Hua shrugged, looking relaxed and happy: "Your Highness, I am not a ghost. Do you think I look like a ghost? I am a living person."
As she spoke, she playfully turned around to show off her "living" posture.
