Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 110 Because I Like It
Su Jizhi didn't answer Wan Yan's question right away, but turned his gaze out of the window.

The moon climbed into the sky, and the inner courtyard of Tongshan Mansion was quiet and cold.

He soaked the soft cloth and stuck it to his chin, looking solemnly, Wan Yan looked at him through the bronze mirror.

When the soft cloth was taken off, Su Jizhi looked around with satisfaction, "Wan Yan, continue to practice with me in the future, that's the deal."

Wan Yan slandered in her heart, and it was decided, but she was very happy if the adults were satisfied.

"Zhu Yuhua?" The lord suddenly shook his head, "She is much stricter than Fan Qing, she pretends to be crazy and stupid, she pretends not to remember what she did."

"But when Zhu Yuhua tricked me into her home, it was obviously normal."

Su Jizhi looked at Wan Yan, "Do you want to go to the prison?"

"To see Zhu Yuhua?"

"She's crazy for a reason to pretend to be crazy, and there's a reason to be stupid. Today I have more time to interrogate Fan Qing. I really haven't figured out how to interrogate Zhu Yuhua here."

"How did she and Fan Qing meet?" Wan Yan felt a little regretful, "The first person I met on Tongshan Street was Zhu Yuhua. She often appeared in front of me, so I never thought that there would be problems with this person."

"After you disappeared, I found Mrs. Yang, the sister of the Jiaofang Division. If there is no news from you, I may send Miao Hong to the capital to check your family relationship, and even find out the past of Master Xue."

Wan Yan lowered her eyes, "I never thought that something would happen, so I never told the adults about my life experience in detail."

The little girl raised her head, "Now I am the only one left in the world, and I have no relatives that I know well. Apart from Liu Ya, there is also the girl from the Jiaofang Division, but no matter how familiar I am, it is not enough for me to leave without saying hello."

Su Jizhi had a bitter face: "What about Zhu Yuhua? How can she make you let go of everything and go with her willingly?"

"Zhu Yuhua's accident happened by chance. She had planned to trick me away. Of course she used a scheming plan. She completely seduced my curiosity, and at that moment she looked very normal."

Wan Yan recalled that day with lingering fears.

"She's so powerful, let me just say, run for a while, I'm afraid I'll waste time going back to the backyard, and miss the chance to find Miss Lu."

The little girl sighed, "My lord, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. My life is more important than me looking for Miss Lu alone. Moreover, if something happens to me, my lord will pay a greater price."

Su Jizhi nodded in approval. After this night, the little girl has obviously grown up.

"Wan Yan, I didn't expect you to think this way, but I also want to tell you these words, you follow me, our life is destined to be different from others, I want you to be under my protection forever, but now..."

Su Jizhi was searching for suitable words to describe his current mood, Wan Yan waved his hand, "My lord, I understand what you mean, in fact, after my father was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Punishment, I knew that the world is in a bad state, and it is better to rely on myself than others."

"No, Wan Yan, you should rely on me." Su Jizhi wanted to say, that's not what I meant just now.

Wan Yan smiled, "Of course I am happy that my lord can rely on me, but the truth in the world is not like this, just like Miss Lu and I are trapped in the cellar, only you can save yourself."

"No, I rescued you."

"But before the lord came, Miss Lu and I had already lied to Fan Qing. The reason why he opened the cellar was to take us out."

"Then?"

"I'll play by ear."

Su Jizhi didn't speak, but he didn't expect the two of them to be talking with a sense of tension.

Wan Yan also lowered her head, she knew very well that she looked weak and weak, as if she wanted to be protected by someone, but in her bones, she had the tenacity not to admit defeat or compromise.

Su Jizhi lowered his tone, "Wan Yan, in the cellar, did you miss me? Did you expect me to save you?"

The sour feelings of that night welled up in Wan Yan's heart, "I think about it all the time."

"That's enough. You can think of me and ask me for help. That's what I'm asking for. Where I can't protect you, I hope you can take care of yourself."

The softest part of Wanyan's heart was touched, and she didn't know what happened, she knew that adults cared about her, but she just wanted more, more love, and more promises.

Feeling up and walking fast, it took a long time for Wan Yan to think of asking, "Sir, how did you find me that day? Do you know? I once called you loudly in the cellar."

"It rained all the time last night. When I identified Fan Qing as the suspect, I wasn't really sure. So I knocked on the door of Fan Qing's house. I hid behind Miao Hong and observed. Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything."

"It should be said that my lord was standing in the courtyard, and Miss Lu and I were in the cellar under your feet."

"Who would have thought?"

"Then how did your lord stay at the entrance of the cellar?"

"I believe that Fan Qing has a problem because of his attitude. When he saw the portraits of Shang Wenli and Lu Mingyu, he didn't ask a word, but quickly glanced at them and lowered his head. This is not a normal person's reaction."

Wan Yan became curious, "How should a normal person react?"

"Shang Wenli's portrait has been hanging on Tongshan Street for some time. Although Lu Mingyu's life is short, everyone knows it. If Fan Qing has never seen it, he should at least ask what it is, but he has not seen the two portraits. Then he looked away and said categorically that he hadn’t seen it, so there was a problem,”

Wan Yan sighed in her heart, it turns out that someone can be locked on such a subtle expression.

"Then, I saw the cart in the yard. Because of the heavy rain, the old blood on the cart was washed by the rain and flowed down the shaft."

Wan Yan frowned, "Is that the cart used by Fan Qing to throw the body after Shang Wenli was killed?"

"No, Fan Qing denies it. He does not admit to killing Shang Wenli now. Miao Hong has gone to a chicken farm outside the city to find clues. The blood on the cart alone cannot be used as evidence."

"Then why does your lord think there is something wrong with the cart?"

"I read Fan Qing's delivery note. He hasn't killed a chicken for three days. After the chicken dies, the blood will dry up and won't be washed off by the rain. I want to ask where the blood on the car comes from?"

"How does Fan Qing explain it?"

Su Jizhi frowned, "He doesn't need to explain, as long as there is evidence, even if he doesn't admit it, I will find other clues to catch him."

"How did your lord know that I was in the cellar afterwards?"

"I searched Fan Qing's house carefully, but found nothing. Nie Fang has always been in charge of the city gate. I have absolute confidence in him. You didn't leave the city after you disappeared, so where did Fan Qing lock you up?"

Su Jizhi could still remember the anxious mood yesterday, "I never thought that the cellar could be under the chicken coop, but I found a clue in the warehouse at the gate of the courtyard."

"There is a vent in the cellar, which means that the exit of the vent is in the warehouse?"

"Yes, there are a lot of dusty iron plates and wood chips in the barn. The iron plates are very clean near the wall plaster, but I have seen in the past, and there is no place to put people. This is strange."

Wan Yan thought of Zhu Yuhua lying at the entrance of the cellar to provoke her and Lu Mingyu.

It turned out that it was Zhu Yuhua who left the clues for the adults to find them.

"But I dare not go head-to-head with Fan Qing. I told him to face to face that the city gates will be loosened immediately. I believe he will take you out of the city."

A look of indifference appeared on Su Jizhi's face, "So I took people and pretended to leave, and came back when Fan Qing closed the courtyard door. As expected, Fan Qing had no doubts about having it, and presented the cellar in front of my eyes."
