To protect the scene, the bawd locked the house.

However, there was no smell of blood in the room. Su Mu took a look and found that the window was still open.

The old procuress was puzzled. "Why are you opening the windows?"

"Why shouldn't I open the window?" Su Mu heard the bawd's grumbling.

After Yingying died, the old procuress had the thought that it would be better not to do too much, but with so many people dead, this matter definitely couldn't be good anymore, so she decided to cooperate and solve the case as soon as possible before she could open the shop again, and said: "This window looks right at the dressing table, but the window is a dead end, there's no view at all, and there are often passers-by here, the smell of urine."

When Su Mu walked over, he indeed had a sense of smell.

"Can someone drive outside this window?" Su Mu asked.

"No."

What makes the dead open this window? Su Mu stuck his head out the window. Outside the window, there was a stack of firewood, which was about one story high. Beside him was a two-story house. Looking at the height, it wasn't too hard to climb up.

"You said that Yingying liked a scholar?" Su Mu looked at the half-footprints on the windowsill and asked.

The bawd said, "That scholar is the eldest son of a pork seller on the streets. He has been selling pork with his father since he was young. Yingying's eyes weren't good and fell for him. When she heard that he wanted to study, and her father refused, she took all her belongings and gave them to him. His brother had been studying since he was young and had never been able to pass the hometown examination. On the contrary, it was him who had passed the exam on his first try. A few years ago, he said that he had to rush to the capital to take the exam and let Yingying dig out everything in the house. "Pah! Although his father values his second son, he has already passed the country test earlier than his younger brother. His father, who sells pork, is definitely willing to give him money, and he even wants to find an oriole!" When the old procuress was young, she also believed in these love affairs. In the end, she was left alone. Even though the ladies in the field of view were moneybags, she still felt sorry for them.

"Did he come back?" He had sold pork before and had a close relationship with the first victim. Su Mu couldn't help but suspect him.

"I heard that he was admitted to the Scholars and married the Minister's daughter. He doesn't even recognize her father anymore." said the old procuress.

When he heard that he had offended someone, resulting in his daughter being kidnapped, he had sold himself for many favors before finally finding his daughter. In the end, his daughter had even fallen for a thief and begged her father for permission. This had almost become a joke in the capital. It was no wonder that a senior would be able to marry the daughter of the Minister of the Civil Service.

Su Mu sat on a stool. The human skin on the dressing table had already been removed, leaving behind dried, nearly circular bloodstains. The bronze mirror vaguely reflected Su Mu's figure, and the makeup without the lid was also stained with blood.

"What about Liu Zichen?" Su Mu asked.

"I don't know much about him. I only know that he's the son of the County King, and that he's so lecherous." The old procuress thought for a while before replying.

"That day, the one who pestered you was him. From my point of view, he has a few tricks up his sleeve, and is not a real popinjay."

Su Mu tilted his head and looked at Sang Xin. He felt that Sang Xin was more like her elder sister Zi Yu.

Sang Xin didn't look at her.

"Did Liu Zichen show any reaction to the deceased's refusal?" Su Mu asked, looking at Sang Xin.

The old procuress stared at Sang Xin with a fawning smile on her oily face, "In the business of the thrush business, I've always been willing to do anything. Young Master Liu did not say anything."

"Because he knew that the warbler would eventually be sent to his bed." Sang Xin lowered his brows, as if he hadn't noticed the bawd's rage.

The old procuress really wanted to do something to Sang Xin, but since Su Mu was there, she could only curse, "You little b * tch!"

Sang Xin turned a deaf ear.

Su Mu already had a guess in his heart. However, he still had to figure out how to catch the killer.

"Miss Sang Xin, would you like to follow me to the yamen? I have something to ask you." She was asking about Sang Xin. Su Mu could tell that she was a bawd.

"Yes." Sang Xinrou gently replied.

The old procuress was helpless. She touched her chest and watched as Sang Xin followed Su Mu into the distance. How infuriating!

After returning to the yamen, Su Mu let Zhou Ye go back to rest for a while, while he brought Sang Xin back to his room.

"Young master, it's not good to spread this news in broad daylight, right?" Sang Xin was in a dilemma.

Su Mu looked at her for a long time as tears flowed down his face. He hugged Sang Xin's body and shouted, "Big sister Zi Yu!"

Sang Xin replied, "My name is Sang Xin." Right now, she wasn't worthy of her name.

"You are, you are!" Su Mu buried his body in front of Sang Xin and said in a muffled voice, "Big sister Zi Yu, the Su Clan is gone too. It's gone!"

Su Mu cried until she couldn't breathe. She didn't dare to cry in front of Wang Lin, but after seeing her sister-like feelings and similar fate, it was difficult for her to stop herself.

Sang Xin did not have any connections, and he did not like going out, so he did not know that the Su Clan had fallen. Sang Xin lightly patted Su Mu's back. She didn't know how to comfort him. She knew that pain wasn't something that others could share. She could only bear it herself. If she couldn't, she could only carry it.

When Bao Fu came to knock on the door, what he saw was the scene of Brother Su crying until his eyes turned red, and Sang Xin's chest was covered with tears.

What had happened? The simple-minded Bag Life began to doubt his eyes a little.

"What for?" Su Mu looked coldly at the dumbstruck bag.

"What are you guys doing?" Bao Fu Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Su Mu ignored her and slammed the door shut.

"Lin Yi asked me to send the medicine over." The bag floated outside and knocked on the door.

Su Mu opened the door a crack and closed it with a smack after receiving the medicine.

"The Crown Prince is very good to you." Sang Xin stated.

Su Mu said dejectedly, "So what? We're still strangers."

"Let the past pass. The past is bitter, but the future is long." When Sang Xin saw Su Mu take the medicine in one mouthful, she didn't even frown and felt pain in her heart. Su Mu's body was weak and he had been doted on since birth. Even if he had to take medicine, he would only take medicine and preserves.

"You are … Is that all right? " Su Mu asked, letting the bitter taste spread throughout his mouth.

"What's good or bad about it? It's just lingering on at the last minute." A piece of candy appeared in Sang Xin's palm. He peeled off the candy and placed it in Su Mu's mouth.

"The Yan Clan will definitely fall." Su Mu licked the sugar in his mouth. After all the suffering, there would definitely be sweetness.

"Yes."
