In Wu City's yamen.

Wang Yu was so anxious that he was spinning in circles. Even though it was almost nighttime, he was still standing in the hall at the back of the county magistrate's courtyard.

Accompanying him was the expressionless Lin Yi and the uneasy County Magistrate.

Although the county magistrate still had his mind on the concubines in the backyard, he was more afraid of losing his head, so he said in a flattering tone, "Two gongzis, why don't you both go take a rest? This official has already arranged a place for you and your serving maids."

Speaking of this servant girl, she was a beauty that the magistrate had found within a thousand miles of the county. She wanted to borrow someone to make up for her mistakes, so that Lin Yi wouldn't settle his debts with her before he left.

When Lin Yi heard this, he closed his fan. "Put aside your dirty thoughts and scram."

The County Magistrate was so scared that he started to piss his pants. He held the black veil hat on his head and hurriedly crawled away.

Suddenly, only Lin Yi and Wang Yu were left in the hall.

Lin Yi felt dizzy from Wang Yu's actions, "You don't need to be so anxious, your little brother is just investigating the case, moreover, Floating Life is by his side, nothing will happen to him."

"I have also sent other dark guards to ambush the Zhu Family. If there is any movement, we will capture them all."

Hearing Lin Yi say that he had sent someone else to protect him, Wang Lin felt slightly more at ease. He could not help but think of what Su Mu had said before he left: "His identity is not simple."

Although Wang Feng's brain was not as resourceful as Su Mu's, he was still an extraordinary person. He casually glanced at the dignified sitting posture. There was a piece of white jade from the Qilin King's Realm hanging at his waist. According to the large scale etiquette, only the Crown Prince could wear this kind of object.

Lin Yi was actually the Crown Prince.

Unlike the bustling and lively scene in the magistrate court, the Zhu Clan Estate on the East Street of Wu City exuded a silence that caused one's hair to stand on end.

Bao Fu Cheng moved a chair behind the door and quietly listened for any unusual movements, but to no avail.

Su Mu drew on the round table with a stick of charcoal and called the bag to float over after a while.

After Bao Fu walked over, his mouth opened wide in surprise. On the small round table, there was a simple map of the Zhu Residence. The path to the house and even any part of the forest were marked.

Although he had followed Lin Yi since he was young, and had seen many strange things, Bao Fu Sheng was once again subdued by Su Mu.

He didn't expect that he would be able to record all of the Zhu Residence's scenery after just a simple tour of the Zhu Residence in the afternoon.

"How did you do it?" Bao Fusheng was truly curious, unable to contain himself.

Su Mu raised his head and smiled gently. "My father taught me to be diligent in remembering since I was young. He recited many poems and after a while, I have already surpassed ordinary people."

Thinking about her father's teachings, Su Mu couldn't help but feel sad. It was just that he had told a lie. She didn't recite a poem, but a case file.

"Your hall is able to bring up a son with both martial arts and literature like your two brothers. It is truly extraordinary." Bao Fusheng praised sincerely.

This topic was too sensitive to Su Mu, so it was a mistake. She changed the topic, "I want to take a look here first." A slender finger pointed at the Zhu Family's woodshed on the simple diagram.

He recalled that when the manservant brought the two of them to this place, there seemed to be a strange noise coming from there, and he only replied that the manservant had two big dogs.

Bao Fu Sheng also thought of this and agreed.

The full moon was no longer in the sky, but the light was still there, making the night even colder.

Only when the sounds of the people chatting outside the residence disappeared did Su and Bao take advantage of the moonlight to sneak into the depths of the Zhu Residence.

As the two of them got closer to the woodshed, the wailing of a baby became clearer and clearer. Even the barking of a vicious dog could not be stopped.

Bao Fu Cheng looked at Su Mu in surprise, "Child?"

When Su Mu came over in the afternoon, he heard a faint crying sound. He thought he was hallucinating, but now it was confirmed that there was something fishy going on.

Just as the two were about to enter the woodshed to investigate, the ferocious dog's loud howls suddenly attracted the attention of a servant who came out during the night.

"Stupid dog, what are you barking about!?" If you ask me again, I'll kill you! " Perhaps because he was asleep in a daze, the attendant did not notice the crying that was mixed within the barking of the dog. He merely spat towards the door of the woodshed and walked over to the willow tree.

Bao and Su appeared, alertly hiding themselves within the grass.

After the servant had returned to his room, Su Mu wanted to get up and survey the area, but he was stopped by a floating bag. He lowered his head and climbed onto the tall grass.

It was not the servant who had just returned, but rather a black figure holding a key as he opened the door. The person who seemed to be acquainted with the dog in the room suddenly stopped howling, leaving behind only the weak cry of a baby. After entering, the person turned around and looked around before closing the door.

Borrowing the cold moonlight, Bao Fu was able to vaguely see the figure of that person as she closed the door. It was Mrs Liu who pretended to be deaf and mute.

The two stayed where they were for a while longer until all the sounds had disappeared from the woodshed. Then, they slowly walked towards their mother's courtyard.

When they were far away from the woodshed, Bao Fu saw that no one was around before he stopped Su Mu. He mouthed a greeting, "Mother Liu."

Su Mu immediately understood and nodded his head. He continued to bring the bag to the scene of the crime.

As if to make it clear that there was no difference between the inside of the house and the inside of the house, the scene of the crime was the courtyard that her mother lived in. "It was as if they were waiting for someone to come observe them.

Seeing this, Bao Xuansheng knew that Su Mu's guess was correct. Even if there were traces left behind here, they had all been polished and placed there to wait for them to take a look.

However, Su Mu continued to carefully investigate, not leaving a single trace behind.

As for Bao Fusheng, who had followed Lin Yi to the north and south of the river, he was also an experienced interrogator. He immediately teamed up with Su Mu to investigate.

However, even though the tables and chairs on the carpet had been lifted and looked at, there was nothing to be found.

But what has been done cannot be left without a trace.

He suddenly raised his head to turn his neck, but his eyes were focused on the beam above his head.

With a leap, by relying on her beautiful lightness skills, Bao Fu Cheng effortlessly climbed onto the roof beam and squatted on top of it. He extended his finger to wipe away the dried blood. He gestured again with his hand to the hard line that seemed to graze across the barricade.

After squatting at the top for about half the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Bao Fu Yun jumped off.

Su Mu, who seemed to be looking for something at the door, also noticed something. He gently pushed the door open and closed.

With a rough idea in mind, Su Mu called over Bao Fu Sheng. The two of them covered the moon and the stars as they returned to their resting room without leaving behind a trace.

Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, he used a small charcoal pen to exchange the traces he had observed.

The murder case of the Zhu Clan seemed to be on the verge of being solved.
