C234 Glistening Glow in the Eyes

Yan Yuan nodded his head, and said: "The wound on my neck is a knife wound, but my body only has bruises, which means to say, at that time, when the culprit fought with the dead, both sides fought with bare hands, and from the fight all the way to the death of the dead, it was very likely that it was not even the time it took to drink a cup of tea."

Half a tea?

Liu Ruo Qing reacted somewhat slowly towards the Ancient Time, and she pinched her fingers together to calculate it.

Half a cup of tea would take about five minutes.

"If it hasn't even been half a cup of tea, then the murderer must be very skilled. Otherwise, if it had been too long, then even if he were to fight with his bare hands, the sounds of battle would still be heard."

As Liu Ruo Qing analyzed, something came up, "Moreover, didn't you hear the wails of ghosts at that time? The sound of the two of them fighting was naturally drowned out by the crying sound. Thus, from the start, no one paid any attention to it. "

"That's right."

Yan Yuan nodded, "At that time, we …"

As he spoke till here, Yan Yuan stopped in his tracks, and a few unnaturalness appeared on his face.

Liu Ruo Qing did not understand what had happened. Seeing that he had stopped, she asked subconsciously, "What did we do then?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ruo Qing instantly thought of something, and his brain exploded as his face flushed red.

When Yan Yuan saw her clear eyes and flushed face, he knew that she had thought of something and smiled.

He didn't tease her about that matter and continued, "After that, I went to the backyard to wash the cold water. The crying never stopped. When I went back to my room to change, we heard the voice of the deceased."

"Yeah, after we rushed out, the crying stopped."

When Liu Ruo Qing thought back to the details of that night, she couldn't help but recall that night when she nearly …

Her heartbeat unconsciously sped up, and her cheeks once again flushed red.

"There should be some sort of connection between us, we'll …"

Yan Yuan turned his head to look at Liu Ruo Qing, only to see her blushing red face, her alluring rippling eyes, causing his heart to waver.

In the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of mockery. He stretched out his hand and lightly touched her cheek, saying, "What are you thinking about? Why is your face so red?"

Being pointed out like that, Liu Ruo Qing panicked, and an unnatural expression flashed across her face.

Faced with the wicked smile in his eyes, she kicked him angrily, "Who cares? It's too hot here. "

With that, she anxiously escaped back while Yan Yuan followed after her with a smile. Her shy look could also affect his heart.

At this time, just as Zhuang Qing was running over, the beautiful atmosphere between the two broke.

Yan Yuan was a little unhappy in his heart, but he did not say anything explicitly.

What he thought was good, was not necessarily what she thought.

"Your Highness, the companions of the deceased have arrived at the yamen."

"Mm, let's go."

"Yes, Your Highness, this way please."

Zhuang Qing followed beside Yan Yuan and walked carefully.

"County Magistrate Zhuang."

"This official is here."

"For the time being, don't let those few people find out about This King's identity. Do you understand?"

Zhuang Qing stared blankly, he really wanted to say that he did not understand, he truly did not understand why the Duke would hide his identity.

Wouldn't it be easier for those people to tell the truth if he used his identity as a prince?

How would Zhuang Qing know that? Those people were not ordinary merchants, if they knew that he was Yan Yuan, many things would not be easy to deal with.

"Yes, this official understands."

Zhuang Qing led the two of them to the front yard of the yamen, where the Turkmen stood.

When they saw Zhuang Qing coming out, their faces were filled with disdain and arrogance. "Lord County Magistrate, didn't you already ask us earlier, what else do you need to ask?"

Zhuang Qing walked in front of the Turkmen and said: "This is Master Nian who was sent over from the Regional Academy. He is responsible for the murder of your comrades. Master Nian wants to ask you guys a few more questions.

Elder Nian …

Hearing Zhuang Qing's introduction, Liu Ruo Qing couldn't help but want to laugh.

This Lord Zhuang's ability to lie with his eyes open was quite good. There was not the slightest flaw in this fluent introduction.

The few Turkmen slowly looked at Yan Yuan, the arrogance and contempt in their eyes did not decrease in the slightest.

"What other questions do you need to ask, Sir Nian?"

Towards their arrogant attitude, Yan Yuan did not bother about them. He walked to the front of the hall and sat down, in order to not let the few people see the gap between their official positions, Zhuang Qing could only bite the bullet and sat on the right side of Yan Yuan.

"Did you hear the ghostly wail of the night the dead man was killed?"

The few of them were startled, they did not think that Yan Yuan was asking about this.

"Of course I heard it. That crying sound is extremely horrifying, so much so that we can't sleep at all."

"Where was the deceased?"

Yan Yuan continued to ask, his gaze looking at the few people in front of him without batting an eyelid, sizing them up.

The leader then turned to another Turkic and asked, "Zhukun, Huihe was in the same room as you. Where was he?"

The Turkic thought for a while and said, "At that time, the ghostly wails outside annoyed me, so I slept under the blanket. I heard Huhe telling me that he had a stomachache and wanted to go out for convenience. When I saw him again, he died outside the door."

Yan Yuan did not ask many questions, but after hearing their answers, he fell into a short silence.

The people in front of Yan Yuan didn't know what Yan Yuan was thinking, but their hearts gradually lost their patience.

Just as he was about to speak, Yan Yuan's gaze turned to them and asked: "What are you guys doing in Huaxi Town?"

Hearing Yan Yuan's question, the expressions of the few of them underwent some minute changes, but they were quickly covered up.

One of them replied, "We went to Jin City to do business, and stopped at Huaxi Town for a few days. We didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

As they spoke, there was still some anger on their faces.

Yan Yuan did not ask further, he only waved his hand at them, "I have a rough idea of what happened, I understand, you guys can go back first."

Seeing Yan Yuan sending them off like this, the few of them were not too happy.

"Lord, we have important matters to attend to. As to when this case will be closed, we have to give them a confirmation. We can't just let them continue wasting time here, right?"

Yan Yuan nodded, "In three days, I will give you an answer."

After seeing that Yan Yuan said the exact date, the few Turkic people left in satisfaction.

When they were walking out of the town, Liu Ruo Qing saw Yan Yuan frowning as if he had thought about something. He could not help but ask: "Did you think of something?"

Yan Yuan regained his senses, looked at the color of the sky and said: "It's almost noon, let's go eat lunch first and talk while we eat."

"Alright."

The two of them arrived at a restaurant on the street and chose a table near the window.
