After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

Chapter 386
"My lord, you always say that I have the ability to predict the future, but in my opinion, Mr. Huo is really talented! He didn't even grasp any clues, and only guessed the truth of the matter based on cause and effect One is inseparable! You really have a unique insight, and you can see things like fire!"

Lin Youyi had an adoring look on her face, and there seemed to be light shining in her eyes.

Mu Zheng's complexion suddenly darkened, hearing her praise Huo Qiming without hesitation, he couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart.

"Oh, little girl, you can just tell me these flattery words, but you must not let that kid Huo Qiming hear them!"

Lin Youyi looked puzzled.

She opened her mouth, and just when she was about to ask Mu Zheng "why", she heard a furtive voice at the door of the study.

"Oh, it's unfortunate that I'm here as an official, I shouldn't have listened to it! But, I'd like to thank Fourth Miss for her ridiculous praise, I don't dare to take credit for this."

"How did you come?"

"Of course I came to apologize to you, my lord!"

Mu Zheng's tone was not kind, with a look of disgust on his face.

Huo Qiming salivated, smiling all over his face.

Lin Youyi thought it was funny, turned her head away, and curled the corner of her mouth.

Huo Qiming walked into the study cautiously.

"My lord's forgiveness is due to my ineffectiveness and carelessness. I am willing to let my lord handle it."

"Say something useful! Or... have you found out how those people died?"

"Today, the officer inspected the corpses again, and found a suspicious point that had never been found before. There was one or even a few tiny wounds on the hands of those corpses. Judging from the shape of the wounds, It looks like it was left behind after being bitten by insects and ants. As for the cause of death...the lower official deserves to die, the lower official is incompetent, and there is no clue yet."

"Stop talking about these useless things in the future! If you racked your brains and couldn't figure it out, this girl will solve it for you without any effort!"

"Solved? The prince means..."

Huo Qiming quickly turned his head to look at Lin Youyi with eyes full of astonishment.

"Miss Fourth knows the cause of death of those corpses? What is it?"

"Bite to death by ants!"

"what?"

"To be precise, they were bitten by a kind of ants called fire ants, and then they were in pain! This is why the faces of those people before they died were so distorted, terrified, and horrible!"

"Fire ants? I'm a lowly official. I've never heard of such poisonous insects. I'm asking Miss Fourth to give me some advice."

"Lord Huo is serious. I actually know... that's all. I don't know the specifics. However, Master Huo can go to the village in Sifengshan, Quzhou, and ask the local hunters in detail."

"Quzhou? So far away? I don't know something. How did Fourth Miss know, what kind of fire ants? How did you know that those corpses were all bitten by fire ants?"

Lin Youyi didn't know how to answer Huo Qiming's question, so she could only cast her eyes on Mu Zheng.

Mu Zheng sneered, which made Huo Qiming tremble with fright.

"Oh! Why, you are interrogating her, do you suspect her?"

"I don't dare! I'm just... curious! Just curious!"

"Put away your curiosity and do your part!"

"Yes, the officer obeys."

Huo Qiming connected the clues provided by Lin Youyi with his previous guesses.

Gradually, he discovered another doubtful point.

However, this time, Huo Qiming had a long memory and did not dare to speak easily again.

Mu Zheng could tell at a glance that Huo Qiming was hesitant to speak.

"Why, is Dali Temple very free? You don't go to investigate the case, what are you doing here?"

"My lord, I feel that...whether it is the palace or the palace, it is necessary to strengthen the guard and be prepared!"

"Success, it's not too stupid, you also thought of it?"

"My lord is wise, there is indeed something strange about this matter."

"For now, don't disturb the emperor's brother and the queen mother. You go to Lei Yue and tell him that it is the king's oral order, asking him to dispatch the Habayashi cavalry under his command. When necessary, the Qimen cavalry can also be used. From now on, Strengthen the guards in the palace to prevent anyone from bringing fire ants into the palace!"

"Yes, the next officer takes orders!"

"Over there in Quzhou...Let Qi Yun go for a visit. He is careful and handles affairs properly. Don't leak the results of the investigation for now."

"Yes."

Huo Qiming took the order and quickly exited the study.

Lin Youyi stretched her head, and when she saw Huo Qiming walking away, she turned her head and looked at Mu Zheng suspiciously.

"My lord, are you worried that the murderer will use fire ants to continue killing people?"

"This king is not worried, but sure, he will definitely do this!"

"This person really does everything he can to blame the prince!"

"Little girl, you're wrong again! It's not his purpose to blame this king. What he really wants to do is to kill people! It's just that he conveniently blamed this king."

"Smooth? Can this... also go smoothly?"

Lin Youyi's heart tugged, how did Mu Zheng speak so easily?
"That's the truth. Just now, this king wanted to talk to you about this matter, but you just opened your mouth and kept praising that kid Huo Qiming!"

"How can I! I praise Mr. Huo, is it because he is your man? Otherwise, why don't I praise others? In the end, it is the prince who is wise and powerful, and has a good command! You are the most powerful prince! "

"Heh, look at this little mouth, the tongue is shining like a lotus flower, as if it has been smeared with honey!"

"Every sentence from the heart!"

"Come on, I'm not so confused yet, I want you to coax me. Little girl, tell me, if you kill people just to blame this king, what should you do now to achieve your goal?"

"My lord, don't scare me, I don't dare! I'm not stupid, and I'm not tired of working, why do you want to make yourself unhappy?!"

"Little girl, stop pretending to be confused with this king! This king just wants you to put yourself in the shoes and think about it, what would you do?"

Lin Youyi smiled slyly, and looked at Mu Zheng with big eyes blinking.

"If I...of course I won't let it go! Knowing that your lord, you and Mr. Huo have already discovered the corpses in the blessed place, but there is no clue or trace to find, I will strike while the iron is hot and do what I wronged you. Do it, do it! After all, with such a treacherous method of killing, Master Ren Huo will never think of the cause of death if he wants to break his head!"

"It can be seen that the murderer is more cautious than you!"

As Lin Youyi was talking, she suddenly realized it!

"So... the murderer didn't continue to use fire ants to kill people, create chaos, and cause panic among the people, so as to put pressure on you and prove your crimes. It's not because he didn't want to! It's because he didn't find the fire ants. A more suitable opportunity to attack the person he really wants to kill!"
