Lin Mengya stood silently behind Long Tianyu, looking at the person in front of her, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The man in front of him looked nothing like the elegant and elegant Murong Yan.
The man was skinny and skinny, and his eyes were full of anger.
The way he looked at Long Tianyu no longer showed any brotherly feeling, but rather as if he was looking at his mother-killer. .??.??
Lin Mengya seemed to have found the key question, and she frowned.
The death of the empress had nothing to do with them, but Murong Yan obviously hated Long Tianyu deeply.
There must be something hidden in it.
"Murong Yan, why did you do this?"
Long Tianyu's eyes were dark, and he still wanted to ask a question about the man in front of him whom he once truly respected and respected as his brother.
"Don't you know very well why I want to do this?"
Murong Yan gritted his teeth and asked, "I know that you are dissatisfied with your empress for taking action against your woman, but do you still remember what you promised me?"
Long Tianyu frowned and said, "I will never forget what I promised you."
"Bah! Shameless villain, treacherous! I have told you a long time ago that I have no intention of hindering you from becoming the prince. You also want to let my mother live, but now she dies in your hands. Murong Xi, you are not worthy of being a human being.
!”
Judging from the other party's appearance, he has already determined that he is the murderer of his mother.
Lin Mengya could not bear to see her man being wronged like this.
"Is it possible that a dog has bitten your brain? If we want to take action, why should we be suspected on our own territory? Murong Yan, I thought you were a smart person at the time, but now it seems that you are just a fool!"
Lin Mengya continued to scold, but Long Tianyu took it down again.
"Whether you believe it or not, I did not hurt your mother. We have been looking for the real murderer. If you don't believe it, you can find it with us."
Murong Yan hesitated for a moment, and then kept yelling, "Don't pretend to be here. With your methods, the evidence must have been destroyed by you long ago. How could you be found out?"
"Don't you feel contradictory when you say this? It was you who said that Long Tianyu was the real murderer of your mother and asked you to investigate with him, but you also said that there was nothing he could find with his methods. In that case
, how did you know the truth about this matter? How can you be sure that what you know is the truth?"
It has to be said that Lin Mengya has a natural advantage when it comes to quarreling.
After saying this, Murong Yan was speechless.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Mo, don't you dare to swear to God now, if it is really you who killed my mother, you will be struck by lightning from the sky, and you will not die a good death!"
Long Tian Yu looked at the other person and said, "I never believe in these verbal oaths. If it is really me who did it, I can do whatever you want."
Murong Yan's expression was shocked, and then he said with a sneer, "Okay! Your temple master is true to his word, so don't default on your debt when the time comes!"
"Won't."
Murong Yan was doubtful, but the eyes he looked at Long Tianyu always contained unforgettable hatred.
But just as he was about to leave, Long Tianyu asked, "We can put our matters aside for now. Let me ask you, why did you betray Master?"
"Master?" Murong Yan was a little excited, "Master asked me to hide here. I have never betrayed Master!"
Long Tianyu didn't believe it.
"If it's not you, then who can get close to the master, find his weaknesses and imprison him? Murong Yan, I will not allow anyone to harm the master."
Murong Yan, who was under suspicion, was obviously a little irritable.
He hurriedly explained, "Master being imprisoned was something I didn't expect. Over the past few days, I have been trying to find a way to rescue Master, but unfortunately I have failed, and those people almost found my hiding place."
He was afraid that Long Tianyu wouldn't believe it, so he continued, "I have been hiding on the fifth floor these days and survive by stealing things from the kitchen every day. If you don't believe it, you can come and see it now."
Long Tianyu did not completely believe his words.
Because various signs indicate that he is the person closest to the real murderer.
Long Tianyu didn't bring many people with him. He only took Lin Mengya, Baili Wuchen, and Murong Yan to his hiding place.
Walking to the kitchen on the fifth floor, a few people saw that there was a particularly hidden mezzanine in the kitchen storage room.
You can go directly to the storage room from here, so eating is not a problem.
The space inside is very narrow and can only accommodate one person sleeping in it.
Looking at the cramped and low mezzanine, where are the places where people live.
Long Tianyu looked at this place and couldn't help but asked doubtfully, "Why are you hiding here?"
Murong Yan stared at him angrily.
"All of this is thanks to you!"
"I?"
After being wronged repeatedly, Long Tianyu's face became very ugly.
"Murong Yan, if I want to kill you, you can't escape!"
This is not arrogance, but the truth.
Murong Yan sighed deeply.
In fact, until now, he still doesn't believe everything that happened before.
Lin Mengya could see that Murong Yan was actually struggling with himself.
After thinking for a while, he took everyone out, leaving the two brothers alone.
Outside, Baili Wuchen squinted his eyes, seeming to be thinking about the problem.
"lady."
She had been listening to what was going on inside, but she did not use the system because she was afraid that her man would suffer.
"Um?"
Baili Wuchen lowered his voice, and now only the two of them could hear it.
"I always feel that what Mr. Yan said is not false."
There is no doubt about her judgment of Baili Wuchen.
This man is smart and has been with Long Tianyu for so long, so he has a deep understanding of them.
She nodded in agreement.
"However, this matter is too strange. When Young Master Yan disappeared half a year ago, His Highness also ordered us to look for him. However, a few of those people were missing. Afterwards, I was busy with other things and did not conduct a detailed investigation.
Yes. Maybe there is some misunderstanding in this."
Lin Mengya also fell into silence.
She believed that Long Tianyu, at least the man in her family who wanted to kill, must have a target.
Murong Yan had hurt him just now, but he didn't even fight back.
It is enough to show that he does not want to kill the other party at all.
"Those people may have been taken advantage of."
Her words made Baili Wuchen's eyes tighten.
Suddenly, Long Tianyu's voice came from inside.
"Baili Wuchen, come in!"
The latter nodded towards her and walked in quickly.
Lin Mengya glanced behind her, and it seemed that things were similar to what she had guessed.
This makes it even more elusive.
Long Tianyu was always cautious, and even if he was really being used, Murong Yan would not misunderstand him so deeply.
She walked out of the big kitchen.
Because of what happened today, the kitchen on the fifth floor will be temporarily closed, and all the kitchen helpers will go to the fourth and sixth floors to work.
This place used to be the busiest place, but now it's deserted.
She stood at the door, but saw someone standing at the door and looking around.
"who?"
The guard at the door shouted.
The man shrank for a moment and then timidly said, "I'm here to deliver ingredients to the chef."
The guard looked at the other party and saw that she was just a 12- or 13-year-old girl. He said, "I have something to do today. Everyone is on the fourth and sixth floors."
The girl nodded and was about to leave, but she was stopped.
"Girl, please stay."
Lin Mengya walked out quickly.
The girl was very reserved when she saw her outfit.
r>
"What ingredients are you sending to the chef?"
Her attitude was gentle and kind, and the girl gradually became less afraid.
No matter what she asked, she answered very nicely.
"I'm here to deliver some groceries."
Indeed, Lin Mengya did smell the fragrance of the dry goods in the basket she was carrying.
"Didn't anyone inform you before?"
The girl shook her head and said, "We live in the holy city and only go up the mountain every few days."
"Are you coming alone?"
You know, the mountain road from the Holy City to the Temple is not very close.
She is a girl, so her family members can rest assured when she comes back?
The girl pointed to the door, "I came here with my father. There are several oxcarts outside that are specially responsible for transporting things. We will take the oxcart up every few days."
Yes.
With so many people going up and down the temple, how could it be possible that no one was coming back and forth to deliver things?
"Then can you take me to see it?"
The girl hesitated for a moment and then said cautiously, "Then I have to send these things to the chef, otherwise, he will curse again."
Lin Mengya took the things and handed them into the hands of the guards, asking them to deliver them on their behalf.
The girl was a little uneasy, but when she thought about her parents' orders, she could only obey them.
My parents said that the noble people here are not something they can afford to offend.
But on the way, Lin Mengya made full use of her strengths and coaxed this simple girl to tell her everything in just a few words.
"Do people often come up in bullock carts?" Lin Mengya asked casually.
But the girl said, "No. You must be from the Holy City to sit, and you have to pay every time. I am young and can sit in the arms of my parents, so the handlebar type only charges me a fare, but I can
I help my parents with a lot of work!"
The girl is very lively by nature, chattering and talking about some of the parents' petty issues.
Lin Mengya listened patiently, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
They found the girl's mother on the fourth floor, who was a very loving woman.
But when he saw his daughter walking with a luxuriously dressed woman, her face was full of panic.
"Aniang!"
The little girl was like a bird returning to its nest, instantly falling into her mother's arms.
Lin Mengya felt good about this innocent and lovely little girl. She was about to chat with the other person's mother, but she felt that the girl's mother seemed a little afraid of her.
"you--"
"master!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Bai Su behind her.
Bai Su walked over in a hurry and whispered in her ear.
