Passers-by walked past them from time to time. Everyone was discussing the murder case of the mother-daughter pair in a low voice. Some felt that this had nothing to do with them, some were afraid, and some were regretful.
Lu Sheng, Chu Sihan, and the rest did not react.
It was only when they heard Chu Yun’s words that everyone regained their senses.
Lu Sheng stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Chu Yun. “Are the doors to Cai Mansion often open?”
Chu Yun shook his head. “I don’t think so. Constable Wang and I went there twice or thrice during the incident. The doors were always closed.”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “If that’s the case, then Cheng Hai must have deliberately opened the courtyard door to let the villagers see him.”
“Even so, it still doesn’t make sense!”
Shi Yi scratched the back of his ear and said in confusion, “Wasn’t Cheng Hai still in the Cai Mansion in the evening?”
Lu Sheng looked at them and said, “You guys go back first. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll leave for a while.”
She wanted to confirm if it was what she had thought.
If that was the case, everything made sense.
“I’ll accompany you.”
Chu Sihan knew that her suspicions were similar to his.
“Okay!”
“Lord, should I follow you?” Chu Yun asked.
“No need. Send the two young masters back to Thousand Leaf Inn first.”
Chu Yun nodded. “Yes!”
“Hey, where are you going? Can’t we follow you?”
It was really depressing. Shi Yi felt that his luck was too bad.
He had been in Huang Yang Town for some time, but he had not seen Yu Mingyue.
He had been feeling gloomy recently, so he wanted to investigate this case with Chu Sihan.
Now, his confusion had yet to be resolved and he did not want to return to the inn at all.
As Fu Sisi had been distancing herself from him recently, Yun Ting’s face was dark every day. He would either stand in front of the inn’s windows in a daze or sit in front of the table to drink. He would only smile occasionally when he went out.
He would probably go crazy if he were to continue staying with this boring person.
“To a place.”
Lu Sheng smiled mysteriously. “I’ll tell you the truth when I’m back. Go back quickly.”
“Then it’s settled. After you find the truth, remember to find us at the inn!”
Just as Shi Yi finished speaking, Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan had already blended into the crowd.
Lu Sheng waved her hand without turning back, as if replying to Shi Yi.
Yun Ting looked at Shi Yi. “Go back first. I’ll take a walk nearby.”
He had heard that Fu Sisi would be on the streets today, so he wanted to walk around and see if he could bump into her.
“Young Master Shi, shall I send you back to the inn first?” Chu Yun suggested softly.
“No need.”
Shi Yi smiled and said, “Guard Chu, please leave first. I want to take a walk.”
“Oh.”
When Chu Yun heard that, he did not retort and nodded.
Shi Yi opened his fan and sauntered into the crowd.
However, he saw a carriage slowly pass by him.
A gust of wind blew and lifted the curtain, revealing Yu Mingyue’s sweet-looking face.
—————
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan walked into the alley and stopped in front of ‘Cheng Mansion.’
The two of them looked at each other and nodded.
“Lord, do you want it?”
Lu Sheng took out two Invisibility Talismans and asked Chu Sihan in a low voice.
Chu Sihan did not receive it immediately. Instead, he frowned at her.
“Is my name ugly?”
After a long while, he suddenly asked.
Lu Sheng blinked and shook her head. “No. Lord, why do you ask?”
Although Chu Sihan did not sound the best, it was not bad either.
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Then why didn’t you call me by my name?”
