Chapter 395: The Murderer Was Not a Human

Xiao Qijun smiled at Yan Xu soothingly and said in a soft voice, “It’s not as tough as you think, Lord Yan. Maybe it’s a heaven-sent chance to you.”

“Why do you say that?” Yan Xu didn’t understand what Xiao Qijun was talking about, but he looked at him with expectation.

Xiao Qijun said, “His Excellency has taken an account book to query you before, and it bothers you, right? Since Supervisor Ye’s wife happened to hang herself at the gate, why don’t we use it as an excuse that it was him who feathered his nest and she killed herself for fear of punishment?”

Yan Xu’s eyes were lightened and turned gloomy again. “Will they believe it?”

There were too many loopholes in this saying. Anyone who was not stupid wouldn’t believe such a saying.

But Xiao Qijun said, “The point is not whether they believe it or not, but we need to give them a reason.

“All you need to do is explain it, not making them believe it. As long as they get no other evidence, they have to believe it even if they aren’t convinced.”

Yan Xu thought for a while and found it making sense.

As long as there was no evidence, King Rui’s heir and his people could do nothing to him except being angry and fierce.

And he got another trump card.

Yan Xu narrowed his eyes and presented a filthy smile on the corner of his mouth.

He never forgot the so-called affair between the wife-to-be of King Rui’s heir and the assistant.

The two of them behaved quite properly in front of people and it was certain that they dared not let others know it, especially King Rui’s heir.

He could take advantage of it.

If the woman and the assistant could be his informers and work for him, how would the man fight with him?

As Yan Xu was immersed in his drifting imagination, he didn’t notice the weird smile on the face of Xiao Qijun who lowered his head.

Without wasting any time, Yan Xu jauntily called the post-mortem examiner over to find out the “truth”.

However, a servant came to report that the corpse of Mrs. Ye had been carried away by King Rui’s heir during the time when he was in his room, and they said that they got someone to check the corpse themselves.

Frustrated, Yan Xu smashed the teacup on the table out of anger.

But it was not the time for him to lose his temper. He had to go to Mo Junyang’s yard hurriedly.

He didn’t see any post-mortem examiner or corpse there.

All the people were sitting in the yard and drinking tea composedly. It seemed that what happened today didn’t affect their moods at all.

Yan Xu dared not take it lightly. He cast a glance at Mo Junzhan suspiciously and measured Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang with his eyes secretly, but he found nothing abnormal.

He had to restrain his wonder and come over to greet. “Wish you a good day, Your Excellency! I wonder whether you have found out who killed Mrs. Ye.”

His tone sounded a bit mocking.

He actually did satirize Mo Junzhan. After all, no matter how capable he was, it was impossible for him to find the murderer only by carrying out an autopsy.

Mo Junzhan was about to blame Yan Xu for Mrs. Ye’s death, but was shut up by his words. He stared at Yan Xu, unable to utter a word.

However, Mo Junyang replied slowly, “Don’t worry, Lord Yan. His Excellency has found out the murderer.”

By then, it was Yan Xu whose back was covered with cold sweat.

He raised his head abruptly and stared at Mo Junyang unbelievably. A trace of terror flashed in his eyes and he blurted, “No way!”

Not only Yan Xu but also the other people in the yard all looked at him with an unbelievable expression.

They didn’t know what he referred to as he said that they had found out the murderer.

Mo Junyang ignored their suspicious eyes. He asked in a calm and slow voice, “From your reaction, you don’t believe that His Excellency is capable, Lord Yan.”

Yan Xu said on his mind, “, I don’t!”

But he spoke out with reverence and awe. “I dare not. But who is the murderer?”

His voice trembled as he said the last word.

Mo Junyang seemed to feel that Yan Xu didn’t suffer enough. He ran his eyes sharply over him again and again until Yan Xu was about to collapse. Then he showed mercy and began to speak.

“The murderer is not a human.”

“Pardon?”

Yan Xu felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he was completely frozen when he heard what Mo Junyang said. He stared at Mo Junyang, unable to come to his senses.

The rest of them were almost the same as him. Even Xiao Qijun, who was always calm, raised his head immediately and looked at Mo Junyang meaningfully.

“What are you talking about?”

It was Mo Junzhan who asked, but it was the puzzle on everyone’s mind.

Mo Junyang accepted Mo Junzhan’s anger. He turned to Yan Xu and said calmly, “Since the murderer is not a human, it probably has nothing to do with you, Lord Yan. I need to discuss with His Excellency before telling you anything else. What do you think about it?”

Yan Xu got his meaning subtly that he was showing him the door. But Yan Xu was glad, because he had gotten rid of it without doing anything.

Overjoyed, he was not in the mood to think about these reasonable or unreasonable things. He nodded repeatedly and said with relief, “Please go ahead, and I’m leaving. If you’re in need of anything, please let me know!”

After the words, he called his people hastily and left the place where he was apt to get into trouble.

Xiao Qijun followed him at the end and he couldn’t help turning his head to look back when he reached the door. But he happened to meet Mo Junyang’s eyes.

As if stung by something sharp, he was scared and turned away, leaving the yard in a hurry.

When they left, Mo Junzhan was unable to stay calm anymore. He pointed at Mo Junyang’s nose and asked, “Mo Junyang, what are you doing? It was you who asked me to dress up as you to help you investigate the case, but you’re helping the Jiangzhou magistrate instead. What are you planning to do?”

Mo Junzhan clearly felt that he was played around. If it was not for Shi Qingxue who was around that he couldn’t say he wanted to quit, he would leave the mess to Mo Junyang directly.

He would be still the unrestrained king. After Mo Junyu ascended the throne, Mo Junzhan was not the emperor’s son anymore but a king now. Because he was not appointed officially, the rest people were used to regarding him as a prince like before.

It was much more fun to take his men to tour the scenic spots than to suffer wrong here.

Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows and said lightly, “Who tell you that I’m helping Yan Xu?”

“Do you want to deny it?” Mo Junzhan said, grinding his teeth.

“The old doctor has checked it and said that Mrs. Ye hung herself to death, but you told them that the murderer is not a human. Aren’t you shielding Yan Xu?”

“Hung herself to death?” Mo Junyang repeated what Mo Junzhan had said.

Mo Junzhan stuck out his chest immediately like a proud rooster whose tail was touched, but he was still much shorter than Mo Junyang. “Yes, yes. The old doctor said so. Mrs. Ye was choked to death. It meant that she was hung over the gate by someone else.”

Mo Junyang replied with a laugh, “Does being choked to death mean being hung?”

“The mark on her neck has told everything. No one can leave such a mark on a dead person’s neck. What caused it if she didn’t hang herself?”

Mo Junyang said with a cold face, “Maybe it was she who hung herself.”

“No way!”

“No way!”

Mo Junzhan shouted once, but he heard the same words with his ears and he was startled.

He wondered if it was the echo of his words.

He turned around and found it was Ye Zhixin, who had been pretending to be weak or really was, who talked.

Ye Zhixin leaned against the frame. Her cheeks were pale but her eyes were brimming with radiating vigor.

She looked at Mo Junyang and said again with certainty, “My mother will never commit suicide.”

Then, all people came to their senses.

Compared with them who had nothing to do with her, Mrs. Ye was her closest family.

It might be a long time before the mother and daughter met, but they had to part forever the time they met again. It was making people collapse.

Ye Zhixin, the little girl with a poor body, was shaking all over and pretended to be calm, looking at Mo Junyang stubbornly.

She spoke solemnly as if she were taking an oath.

She looked like the lofty and unyielding plum blossoms in winter.

The others might pity the daughter of Lord Ye more or less.

But Mo Junyang lacked such feelings. He looked at Ye Zhixin coldly and asked, “Why?”

“My mother respected my father most, and loved me most. She would never kill herself before she found my father and me. It’s impossible! It must be these scums who killed her!”

Ye Zhixin couldn’t conceal the hatred on her face when she was talking.

Mo Junyang was not touched at all. Instead he thought on his mind that what she said was not logic at all.

But he wouldn’t speak these resentful words out. He seized the point in her words and asked, “Who are the scums you’re talking about?”

Ye Zhixin stood dumbfounded. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She looked at Mo Junyang innocently.

Her eyes seemed to be complaining that as she had lost her mother, she was miserable, and why Mo Junyang could be so ruthless to ask her questions.

Mo Junyang stared at her coldly and his voice was more ruthless. “Tell me.”

It sounded more like an order now.

Ye Zhixin didn’t know Mo Junyang, nor did she get the feeling that she’d better not provoke him now.

She lowered her eyes and bit her lips as if thinking about what she should do.

In the end, she avoided Mo Junyang’s eyes and complained tearfully in a voice that was hardly heard, “Sorry, I can’t. I really can’t. Don’t push me. Don’t!”

She cried inconsolably, almost collapsed at last.

She was really so inconsolable that even the hardhearted people were moved by her tears.

The people around her were all men of masculinity, and they almost lost their head when they saw her crying with a huge grievance.

They got a feeling that they were bullying her.

Mo Junzhan had never seen a woman who cried like this. He was a little lost, especially when it was Mo Junyang who pushed her like that.

Then he became furious and said, “She’s just a little girl. You’re a man and why are you so fierce to her?”

Wei Zichao and Wei Ziye also couldn’t bear it, but they kept their identity in mind and dared not say anything. They just focused their eyes on Mo Junyang occasionally and swallowed back the words on the tips of their tongues.
