"What King Beiyuan said makes sense. To find the real culprit, I'm afraid we have to see where the other end of the tunnel leads.
Obviously, the person who set the fire deliberately dug a tunnel in order to put San Yiniang and I to death. Then he poured oil on the rats and lit them. After lighting them, the fire rats would definitely flee in all directions and finally reach Yi through this tunnel.
We came to Luo Yuan, which caused a fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too big and it burned for so long. I’m afraid the fire rats would have been burned to ashes, otherwise we would have found many such burnt rats.”
Su Buqing nodded and said, "The reasonings of King Beiyuan and Yue Ming are very logical. I think the tunnel is indeed the key to the matter."
"Miss Third, there is a mouse here!" At this time, Lu Rong, who was still looking for her belongings in the ruins, shouted.
Everyone looked back and saw that Lu Rong was holding a mouse in her hand. Lu Rong took the mouse over.
Su Yueming took it and smelled it——
"It also smells of oil, which is the same smell as the mouse Qiu Hu discovered just now."
"It can be seen that the mouse's inference is correct." Murong Canghai said.
"Grandma, mother, I want to lead a few people down to the tunnel to find out what's going on." Su Yueming asked for instructions.
After hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but worry and said, "Three girls, it's too dangerous. If it hadn't been for His Highness the King of the North Campus, something would have happened to you just now. I think we can just send a few people down to take a look."
"Grandma..." Su Baixi stood up and said, "Three sisters are blessed with good fortune and will not be in danger so easily. Besides, she is the victim of this arson case and is responsible for the investigation. Others may ignore it if she goes down.
What evidence is there? Let the third sister go. Grandma is afraid that she is in danger, so why not... why not ask the King of the North Campus to accompany her."
A frightening coldness appeared in Murong Canghai's already cold and arrogant eyes, as if the sharpest ice blade in the coldest weather was slicing across Su Baixi's body.
Su Baixi suddenly trembled all over. The eyes of the North King and Su Yueming were exactly the same, the same coldness, the same ruthlessness, the same cruelty, the same arrogance!
These two people are the same kind of people! They also didn't take her seriously. She could even feel the contempt and disdain in his eyes.
No, it shouldn't be like this. He values Su Yueming so much, yet despises her so much. It shouldn't be like this.
Even though the prince was not close to her, he was still polite and courteous. However, Murong Canghai was so arrogant that he only had naked contempt for her without even the slightest covering up.
"Nonsense!" Su Buqing immediately scolded with a livid face, "You ignorant little beast actually dares to command the King of the North Campus, why don't you kneel down!"
"Be presumptuous, Bai Xi, don't be rude!" The eldest lady was extremely angry. This mindless thing lured the King of the North Courtyard down for a personal grudge. If something happens, he will not be buried with him!
"Father, mother..." Su Baixi wanted to say something else, but she closed her mouth angrily when she saw Su Buqing's even more angry expression and the eldest lady's expression of resentment.
"Why don't you kneel down and apologize to His Highness the King of the North Campus?" Su Buqing walked up to her in three steps and then raised his hand as if to slap her.
"Prime Minister Su, I think what this eldest lady said may not be unreasonable. I will go on this trip with the third lady. Didn't you ask me to be a witness?"
"This..." Su Buqing had a troubled look on his face.
