"Then let's go back first." Qi Lu said. At this moment, almost everyone had left, leaving only the two of them.
"Alright then." Ye Meng also felt that she could go back and sort out her thoughts first. She could sort out the suspicious points and continue to investigate further along these suspicious points and clues later. As for Magistrate Zhang's rejection, it did not affect her much. Instead, it motivated her. As long as she successfully solved the case, everyone would naturally believe in her ability.
The two of them patted their clothes and walked back together.
"Oh right, I have a question that I wanted to ask you just now.”When the two of them were about to go back to their own rooms, Qi Lu suddenly said,"
"What?" Ye Meng asked.
"That's right. How did you know that Li Er did that to Wang Tu's wife just now?”Qi Lu frowned, his face full of confusion and confusion. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Ye Meng had met Li Er and that woman. How could she have guessed so much?
"About that." Ye Meng looked around and beckoned Qi Lu to come closer. Qi Lu, on the other hand, simply leaned over and pricked up his ears.
" I'm telling you, that's..." Ye Meng whispered in his ear, looking mysterious. Suddenly, a triumphant smile appeared on her face as she said loudly,"I'm not telling you!"”
The sudden roar startled Qi Lu, and his mind was in a whirl. Before he could react, Ye Meng had already entered the house and closed the door.
In fact, the reason why she could boldly guess that Li Er had an ulterior motive for Wang Tu's wife was because she saw Li Er looking at the woman unnaturally when he entered the court. At that time, Ye Meng happened to see that gaze from her angle. It was vulgar and smug.
At that time, Ye Meng felt that there might be something wrong between Li Er and that woman.
After that, she had been observing the two of them until she provoked Wang Tu's anger and tried to beat Li Er up. Only then did she slowly jump out.
It was to let everyone see that Wang Tu was right-handed, so that it would be beneficial for her to continue speaking.
The first time Ye Meng noticed that Wang Tu was right-handed was during the first interrogation. At that time, the constable beside her wanted to pull him up and take him back to guard.
At that time, Wang Tu had subconsciously moved his right hand during his struggle. Although this movement was very subtle, she still saw it with her sharp eyes. Of course, He Tang also noticed it at that time.
After entering the house, Ye Meng poured herself a cup of tea and took out a pen and paper, ignoring Qi Lu's ruckus outside the door.
Time slowly passed. Ye Meng held a pen in her right hand and drew back and forth on the paper. Her expression was serious and serious. Her hair that had fallen down brushed against her fair face and nose from time to time. Her eyes were sometimes confused, sometimes suddenly enlightened, and sometimes calm.
Soon, the paper was filled with words, circles, and arrows. These were all the problems she had encountered during the case and the doubts that had been resolved.
In the end, the remaining unsolved questions were all focused on the old servant. Ye Meng dipped her hand in ink and drew a big question mark there. She put down the pen and ink and stared at the question mark for a long time before she collected her thoughts.
He took a candle from the table next to him and lit it up. He placed it in the middle of the table and placed the paper on the table, which had not yet been soaked in ink, on top of the candle.
The paper quickly caught fire, and the ignited parts quickly turned black and carbonised, becoming fragile. All of them fell onto the table.
After burning all these things, Ye Meng blew out the candle and cleaned up the ashes on the table. She opened the door and windows of the room to let the smell of burning paper quickly spread out.
Qi Lu had not left yet. When he saw Ye Meng coming out, he was about to say something to her, but the smoke coming out of the room emphasized him." Ahem, what's going on in your room, Ye Meng?" Is there a fire?" As he spoke, he hurriedly ran in to check if anything was wrong.
However, other than a faint smell of smoke, there were no other traces in the room. Then, he ran out and checked Ye Meng from head to toe to make sure she wasn't hurt.
"Sigh, you're exaggerating." Ye Meng was helplessly pulled back and forth by him. She then shook off his hand and said," I'm just burning something myself. What a fuss."”
"I'm just concerned about you." Qi Lu muttered softly," You're my fiancée that God gave me a hint. Of course, I have to be concerned.”
"What are you talking about?" Although Qi Lu's voice was soft, she could still hear some words. She knew that he was talking nonsense again. Her expression instantly changed, and she reached out to pinch him.
"Say it again if you have the ability." The force in her hand grew stronger and stronger. Qi Lu grimaced in pain from her pinch. He quickly begged for mercy." I was wrong, I was wrong. I won't do it again."”
"Humph. I won't lower myself to your level." Seeing that he had admitted his mistake, Ye Meng stopped arguing with him. She let go of him and turned around to close the door.
"You want to go out?" Qi Lu touched his hand that she had pinched and asked when he saw that she was about to close the door.
"Yes, I am. That's right." Ye Meng nodded. Then, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and said disdainfully,"What does it have to do with you?" I remember telling you at the beginning that you can't interfere with where I go, right?”
"No." Qi Lu still remembered the promise they made. He knew that Ye Meng was still angry with him." Don't you remember being attacked by the men in black?" he explained. I'm just worried that you'll be in danger if you go out alone.”
"Um." To be honest, Ye Meng had almost forgotten about this matter. She also felt that no one would dare to do anything to him in broad daylight.
However, on second thought, he felt that the timid were afraid of the bold, and the bold were afraid of the reckless. If someone really targeted her, not to mention whether they would directly hurt her, but if they secretly hindered her from continuing the investigation, it would indeed be a lot of trouble.
" You'll be alright later, right?" Ye Meng blinked and looked at Qi Lu. Do you want to come with me?"
" I'll go with you even if you don't tell me." Qi Lu nodded.”
"Yes, I am. Good brother." Ye Meng patted his shoulder and said heroically," As expected, Jianghu children are more loyal."”
"Alright, alright." Qi Lu grinned, revealing his eight white and neat teeth. He looked a little cute.
"By the way, Ye Meng, where are you going?”After changing into casual clothes and holding his sword, Qi Lu suddenly remembered that he did not know where Ye Meng was going.
" The clinic, of course." Ye Meng pouted at him and gestured for him to leave quickly.
"What? Medical center? That pretty boy." When Qi Lu heard that Ye Meng was going to He Tang's place, he was a little upset. "Are you injured? Do you want to go over and take a look?”
"What's wrong? Can't I go there if I'm not sick?”Seeing that he didn't move, Ye Meng turned around and asked," Why are you so wishy-washy?”
"No, since you're fine, why did you go to the clinic?”Qi Lu said. Then, she put on a considerate look and said,"What if they're very busy there? Wouldn't we be disturbing them if we go?"”
"Then let's wait for him to finish his work.”Ye Meng shrugged. She felt that what he said was not a problem at all and could be ignored.
"But…why do you have to like her?”Qi Lu mumbled softly. He remembered that when he was with He Tang, there were many girls who were infatuated with him. He asked carefully,"Could it be that even you like that pretty boy?"
"Bah!" Ye Meng almost spat on his face when she heard that. What the hell? Wasn't it said that only girls liked to let their imagination run wild? Why did this seven-foot-tall man in front of her have so many messy questions?
Ye Meng felt that she really needed to have a good talk with Qi Lu so that he wouldn't spout nonsense like a long-winded old lady in the future.
"Ahem." She cleared her throat and said seriously," Comrade Qi Lu, I have to make it clear to you." First of all, I went to see Doctor He just to discuss the case with him and see if he could analyze anything. In other words, I didn't think of a way to get close to him because I admired him.”
As she spoke, she stole a glance at Qi Lu and realized that he did not have any other reaction except for a glint in his eyes. " Secondly, Comrade Qi Lu, we've already made a pact when we first started. We're only working together temporarily." As for my private life, it's none of your business, so who I like or dislike has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?”
"Yes, yes." " Yes." Qi Lu nodded. However, just as Ye Meng was about to nod in satisfaction, he suddenly asked," So you're saying that you're only going to discuss the case and don't like pretty boys?"”
"Nonsense! Do I have to discuss the case with you?”Ye Meng snapped. At this moment, her heart felt like it had fallen from heaven to hell. She was extremely depressed. It seemed that this person only knew how to listen to what he wanted to hear. It was the same as saying that he didn't take what she said to heart at all. It was a failure. It was a failure.
However, Ye Meng was too lazy to explain it to him again, so she could only let him be.
"Alright, then let's hurry.”Qi Lu happily hugged his sword and pulled her forward.
"Qi Lu, let go of me. I'll leave on my own.”
"Alright, alright."
The voices of the two people became farther and farther away, and their figures gradually disappeared around the corner of the courtyard. Ye Meng had just wrapped up a pair of burning objects, and now a small corner of it was exposed. From time to time, one or two thin pieces of paper flew out and scattered.
Coincidentally, He Tang, who was at the clinic, seemed to have predicted that they would come. He closed the clinic early and placed a pot of tea and three jade porcelain cups on the table.
When Ye Meng and the others arrived, He Tang was still sitting on the upper floor of his clinic in plain white clothes, sipping tea while watching the crowds on the street.
His blue eyes were deep and melancholic. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment, and no one knew where his gaze was at that moment.
When he saw Ye Meng and Qi Lu asking about him downstairs, he tilted his head and waved at the people downstairs.
Qi Lu was the first to see him. When Ye Meng wasn't paying attention, he made a face at him, which made He Tang smile brightly.
It didn't matter if he didn't laugh, but when he smiled, it was as if he was bathed in the spring breeze, and the weather was much cooler. The girls who noticed it couldn't help but scream. This caused Qi Lu to curse in his heart,'Scourge, what a scourge.'
