Chapter 396 Is the deceased Mr. Yan?
When Zhou Mu saw someone carrying a burnt corpse out, he stopped his eyes and wanted to go over and see what was going on.
Xu Yanqing hurriedly lowered his voice: "As far as the officials know, the prince's concubine is not here."
Zhou Mu's white face finally calmed down a little. He looked at Xu Yanqing, "Please follow me, Lord Xu."
Zhao Qingqi was wondering why a big shot like Zhou Mu came to this remote place in the southern suburbs, and when he saw Xu Yanqing's sneaky look, he felt suspicious.
He didn't dare to make mistakes in front of Zhou Mu, so he could only watch Zhou Mu and Xu Yanqing walk aside and whisper.
"What Lord Xu just meant was that Xiyan had indeed come to this place?" Zhou Mu also recovered at this time.
If Xiyan had been to this place, another burnt corpse appeared here, and Dali Temple was investigating the case, and he exposed the fact that Xiyan had been there, so Xiyan would probably be involved in this case.
Fortunately, Xu Yanqing stopped him in time.
"It must have been here. Your Highness also saw that the house had been burned into ruins and there was a charred corpse. If the princess had come, he would have been involved in this case, so Qingqi could not know the fact that the princess had been here. The official can be sure that the charred corpse was not the princess, please rest assured." Xu Yanqing whispered.
Zhou Mu felt that Xu Yanqing was protecting Xiyan like this, and he didn't know what it felt like. If he hadn't cared about Xiyan, how could a person like Xu Yanqing behaved as a public servant?
"The King of Qin has also been here." Zhou Mu's eyes flashed slightly.
Xu Yanqing really didn't know that Zhou Xing had also come to the crime scene. Soon he realized that Zhou Mu was worried that Xiyan would be taken away by Zhou Xing, but he saw that Xiyan was alone and could not see Zhou Xing.
"If your highness is worried about the prince's concubine, you might as well go home first. Perhaps the prince's concubine has returned home." Xu Yanqing could not speak too plainly, so he could only remind him in a vague way.
While they were whispering, Zhao Qingqi walked over and said, "Report to Your Highness, the people who have just passed the throne found many messy footprints, and also found a cellar. The cellar is not far from the east wing. There are a lot of wine stored in the east wing, and there is also a broken lamp. It should be that the lamp ignites the wine stored in the candle, which will cause a fire. As for the specific cause of death of the corpse, it will take a look at the results."
"How can I light the lights in broad daylight?" Xu Yanqing said suspiciously.
Zhou Mu looked at Xu Yanqing, and Xu Yanqing immediately shut up.
Zhao Qingqi did not see the lawsuit between Zhou Mu and Xu Yanqing, and agreed, "That's right. How could the lamp be lighted in broad daylight? So someone must have set fire on purpose. I don't know what kind of grudges it is, and I can't help but use this method to burn the fire and avoid disaster."
"How to determine whether the deceased was burned by himself?" Zhou Mu asked.
"Because it is impossible to light the lights in broad daylight, and a group of people suddenly broke in, it is very likely that they wanted to capture the deceased..."
Before Zhao Qingqi finished speaking, he saw Zhou Mu go to the deceased.
Qi Zhiyuan understood and stepped forward to lift the shroud.
Zhao Qingqi looked at this scene and secretly exclaimed.
His Highness clearly has such an outstanding temperament, as if she is not involved in the world. When he saw such a burnt corpse, His Highness did not change his face.
Zhou Mu looked at the burnt corpse carefully, thinking that it was clearly Mr. Yan who could make Zhou Xing mobilize others to capture him.
So the deceased was Mr. Yan?
Xiyan came here to meet Mr. Yan, and it attracted Zhou Xing?
But Xiyan should know how important Mr. Yan is, so why did she only take Hu Die out? She is so smart and valued Mr. Yan so much, so why did she reveal such a big flaw, giving Zhou Xing the opportunity to arrest Mr. Yan?
No matter how you think about this, you will feel weird.
Xu Yanqing was also looking at the scorched corpse. He found that Zhou Mu's eyes were empty, as if he was looking at the scorched corpse, but in fact he was thinking about his thoughts.
"Your Highness, is there any problem with the body?" Xu Yanqing asked Zhao Qingqi's thoughts.
Zhou Mu didn't say anything, and opened his lips calmly: "I need a coroner to find out if there is any problem. I am not an expert and I can't see the problem."
If he had questions in his heart, he might as well interrogate his little wife.
That girl has many secrets. This time he felt that Xiyan had done something again, and this time it was still involved in human life. This girl's courage is getting bigger and bigger.
"Mr. Xu sent me out." Zhou Mu suddenly looked at Xu Yanqing and said.
Xu Yanqing dared not object. Who would have made the eldest prince? How dare he, a small chief, not obeyed?
Zhao Qingqi felt that the aura between Zhou Mu and Xu Yanqing was a bit strange, but he did not dare to go forward and eavesdrop, so he could only watch the two of them walk away.
Xu Yanqing guessed that Zhou Mu had something to ask him, and it was about Xiyan.
He thought about how he would answer when Zhou Mu asked him later. It was Mr. Yan's business that Xiyan asked him to hide from her. Then did Zhou Mu know who Mr. Yan is?
In fact, he was also curious why Xiyan appeared in this place, and the appearance of this burnt corpse was probably related to Xiyan, otherwise Zhou Mu would not have followed him.
After there were no extra people around, Zhou Mu looked directly at Xu Yanqing and asked, "Where did Lord Xu meet Xiyan?"
Of course, Xu Yanqing could not tell the truth, and only responded vaguely: "The princess only know that the princess has come, but the other princes don't know."
Zhou Mu carefully observed Xu Yanqing's expression: "Mr. Xu is sure?"
Xu Yanqing laughed in silence: "Your Highness is the prince's concubine's husband, and your Highness should be more clear about the whereabouts of the prince's concubine."
Zhou Mu's eyes were unpredictable, thinking that Xu Yanqing must have seen Xiyan, but when and where he saw Xiyan, Xu Yanqing obviously didn't want to say more.
Only he is more worried about Xiyan's safety at the moment, so he has no intention of interrogating Xu Yanqing in detail.
"Mr. Xu has time next time, please accompany me to have tea." Zhou Mu slowly curled his lips.
"The subordinates are disrespectful." Xu Yanqing said in a humble and arrogant manner: "I respectfully send you to Your Highness."
He knew that Zhou Mu wanted to see Gu Xiyan at the moment, and he was not in the mood to deal with him. When Zhou Mu had time and came to find him again, Zhou Mu would not be so easy to fool.
Zhou Mu took a deep look at Xu Yanqing and said nothing.
He jumped onto the back of the horse and drove away.
Xu Yanqing looked at Zhou Mu's figure as he was leaving, and a smile appeared on his lips. He suddenly felt that he had not lost too much to Zhou Mu. At least he knew Xi Yan's other identity. Zhou Mu knew less than him, which was interesting.
After seeing Zhou Mu away, Xu Yanqing turned his mind back to the ruins. When Zhao Qingqi saw him come back, he asked in a low voice: "How could a person like Your Highness appear in this remote place?"
"Maybe I heard that a murder occurred here, so I came over to take a look." Xu Yanqing said perfunctorily.
Zhao Qingqi sneered when he heard the sound: "We only found a murder case here. Your Highness was still in the palace to manage the government. How could he know that a murder case occurred so far away?"
His Highness looked very anxious when he first arrived, but later Ayan whispered a few words to His Highness before His Highness returned to normal.
