Time is just like the water of the Ying River in front of you, passing by minute by minute between the two people's love.

Although Wu Jingmo had already left the room, he still felt hot on his back, and it felt like someone had pricked him with a needle, with thorns on his back!

He couldn't help but take a few deep breaths of the fresh air after the rain, and then he felt a little more comfortable.

"Master Qi! Found a clue!" A soldier came to report in a hurry.

"Where is it? What is it?" Wu Jingmo's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

"Sir, it's a knife! The kids found it by the river!"

The soldier said as he put a scimitar wrapped in cloth into his hand.

The man's military boots had been removed, and his trouser legs were rolled up and tied a few inches above his knees, but water was still dripping down.

Wu Jingmo carefully opened the piece of cloth in his hand and took a closer look. It was a long and thin scimitar shaped like a willow leaf!

The handle of the knife was painted gold and felt loose in the hand, which happened to fit the description of Ye Wushuang and the blacksmith named Deng!

After Wu Jingmo pulled the knife out of its scabbard, he took a closer look and saw that the blade was thin and sharp, but it was already covered in rust.

The rust stains are still shallow and must have just grown out.

"You just said that this knife was found by the river? Was it soaked in the water?"

Wu Jingmo raised his eyes and asked.

"Master Qi, it was indeed found in the water. It was right next to the stone steps over there! It fell among the mud and river sand. At first glance, it was really impossible to find it! We also spent a long time in the water before we discovered it!

"

The soldier said with a flattering smile, he must have come here hoping to get reward for his meritorious service.

"Well done! You will be rewarded when you return home!" Wu Jingmo glanced at him encouragingly and said with a smile.

"Brother Chengfeng! We have made a major discovery! Please come out and take a look!"

Wu Jingmo shouted towards the door.

Lu Chengfeng took Xuanji in his hand and hurriedly walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Wu Jingmo holding a willow-leaf scimitar in his hand, and he turned pale and said:

"Lancet! Where did this knife come from? Look at the water stains and rust spots. They are all light and light. They should be new rust marks after being in the water for about two days! The handle of this knife is loose and should be the one we are looking for.

knife!"

Lu Chengfeng took the knife and waved it in his hand:

"The handle of the knife is so loose that it's hard to use force. It's a good thing, otherwise, if it had penetrated deeper, Xiao Guzi wouldn't have been able to save his life!"

Wu Jingmo pursed his lips and gestured towards the steps leading into the water.

Immediately, he turned his face to Xuanji and asked:

"Miss Xuanji, what else do you have to say now?"

Lu Chengfeng waved his hand and exclaimed loudly:

"This must have been framed by the female murderer!"

Immediately, he cleared his throat, calmed down again, and said:

"Xuanji has just made it clear that the maid who was the former courtesan the day before yesterday suddenly redeemed herself and left the building. In the near future, no newlyweds have finished the ceremony, and no one else has left the building. So, what we saw yesterday at the Jiuqu River in the suburbs of Beijing

The victim should be the former oiran—Xue Wu’s maid! Then, the suspect in this case is likely to be Xue Wu!”

After a short pause, he continued to reason:

"However, Xue Wu is the former oiran. He must be jealous of Xuanji because he took away her oiran after Xuanji came. Xuanji also said just now that she and Xue Wu had no contact, so we can tell that,

There has long been a rift between the two! Therefore, they came ashore from here and deliberately discarded the criminal evidence here just to confuse the public and frame Xuanji!"

Wu Jingmo shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands again, and said:

"You also said that Xuanji is the only one who said it, so why should you accept it? Furthermore, the art of deciding cases has always been based on facts and the law as the criterion. I choose to believe the evidence in front of me!"

Lu Chengfeng was choked by his words and could only be speechless.

"It's useless to talk more. Miss Xuanji, why don't you go back to Jingzhao Mansion with me first and ask if there is anything else that needs to be argued? Let's discuss it in court!"

Wu Jingmo made a "please" gesture towards Xuanji and ordered the soldiers to take her down.

It is true that we should use facts as the basis and the law as the criterion. We cannot use any excuse to ask for mercy outside the law.

Even though Lu Chengfeng is a relative of the emperor and Wu Jingmo is a close friend, he cannot break the law!

Seeing Xuanji's big innocent eyes looking at him eagerly, he suddenly felt so helpless! Maybe he could only get some more foreign aid for her!

Lu Chengfeng thought about it and said:

"If the former oiran Xuewu is in the building, he should be detained for questioning as soon as possible! If he has fled, please order an arrest immediately!"

After a pause, he made a few more requests and said:

"Please also bring Mama Sang, whom Xuanji mentioned just now, back to your house for questioning. Also, in the Tianxiang Building, have you contacted anyone in the past two days?

Everyone who loves Yuanyang Huanqingxiang, please bring them back for questioning!"

"Of course it is! I have already sent people to surround Tianxiang Tower! Everyone is waiting and no one is allowed to enter or leave! I'm afraid not a single mosquito can fly out now!"

Wu Jing answered him with confidence, then gave the order and shouted:

"Everyone, come and gather! Arrest Xue Wu immediately! Investigate the suspicious persons in Tianxiang Building! Anyone who has come into contact or may come into contact with Yuanyang Huanqingxiang will be interrogated! Act now! Go quickly! Return within an hour!"

The soldiers of the government take orders and Operation Thunder begins!

With the extensive searches and arrests, an atmosphere of tension and worry gradually spread in Tianxiang Building.

The leading madam was the one who received them yesterday.

I saw her wailing all the way, holding Wu Jingmo's hand with complaints and crying:

"Mr. Wu! I know it's not easy for you to track down the murder case, and it's even more difficult for us who do open business! Just forget it if you can't open a business today! If word gets out, you can call us the girl in the building. How will you see anyone in the future!"

What can I do! Ouch! Who will dare to come to my Tianxiang Building in the future!"

Wu Jingmo said politely and calmly:

"Wu is ordered to investigate the case. If I have offended anyone, please forgive me."

"Oh, Mr. Wu! Our Tianxiang Building has been open in Jinghua City for twenty years! It has always had a good reputation, so it has been able to stand for twenty years! The girls in my building, all

I trained them carefully, and some of them I watched grow up! They are all law-abiding girls! We are wronged!"

The old bustard argued, and then he started to cry again, and the cries of injustice resounded throughout the main building!

The skill of crying while crying is much better than that of some little flowers and fresh meat in the new era! It can be called the "Queen of Movies" in the Dajing version of Jinghua City!

"Don't rush to cry out for injustice. Let me ask you, where is Xue Wu? Why haven't her people been found?"

Lu Chengfeng was behind them, observing calmly.

At this moment, he was tired of watching her performance, so he impatiently asked directly, going straight to the point.

"Xue Wu? She hasn't been in the building lately! Why is Your Highness looking for her? Could it be that you are also Xue Wu's guest!"

When the old bustard saw Lu Chengfeng, his eyes lit up, as if he had grasped some life-saving straw, and he said with an apologetic smile.
Chapter completed!
