Yan Yuan did not look at her, but pointed to the scratch on the door and continued: "Just as we guessed before, the Turkmen was killed in a very short period of time, and his comrade did not hear the sound of fighting outside, one reason was because of the ghost's wailing, and the other reason was that the place where they fought was not here."
"That's why there is only a single slash."
"Hmm, but this only confirms our guesses at the time, and is of no practical use."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded, and looked at Yan Yuan, at a loss for words.
Yan Yuan stood up, and very naturally, he reached out and pulled Liu Ruo Qing over to the seat he was standing on.
"Come, stand here and don't move."
"What?"
"Let me try."
Yan Yuan did not explain any further. After letting Liu Ruo Qing stand properly, he walked towards the end of the corridor in the guest room and with a leap, landed on a very dense and tall banyan tree at the side.
From his angle, looking towards Liu Ruo Qing's direction, he could clearly see every single one of Liu Ruo Qing's movements.
"As expected …"
He stood on the tree and mumbled to himself.
Liu Ruo Qing didn't know what Yan Yuan wanted to do. He wouldn't be able to see Yan Yuan from her position.
When Yan Yuan reappeared in the corridor, he slowly walked towards her. He asked impatiently: "What did you want to try?"
Yan Yuan did not answer directly. Instead, he pulled her along the corridor and pointed to a well in the courtyard downstairs, saying, "That night, from that position, I clearly heard the ghostly wail coming from that banyan tree. It was just that at that time, the light was too dim, I did not see it clearly."
He wouldn't tell Liu Ruo Qing at this time that he didn't go to "capture ghosts" but went back to his room immediately. He was only worried that she would be scared.
Now that he thought about it, if he had immediately captured that ghost at that time, everything would have gone better.
Liu Ruo Qing naturally knew what Yan Yuan meant by "that day". The scene that caused people's blood to boil, had once again intruded into Liu Ruo Qing's mind.
In order to not let Yan Yuan see through her, she took the opportunity to change the topic, "Are you saying that if someone were to stand at that angle, they would be able to see the battle between the Turkic people and the murderer?"
"Yes."
Yan Yuan nodded his head, "That day, after I went back to my room, and changed my clothes, it was barely the time needed to boil a cup of tea. The Turkic died, and his ghostly wails were gone, so I suspect that the Chen family's young lady who was acting as a ghost must have seen the Turkic being killed."
"Then we have to find that Chen family's young mistress and ask her as soon as possible."
Liu Ruo Qing proposed, but Yan Yuan was silent for a moment, then said: "Regarding the matter of the Chen family estate, it is only because of the Chen family's young granny's confession, it is not Yan Qi's fault. As long as Yan Qi does not admit, we can easily expose the two survivors from the Chen family, it will only bring them danger."
"True."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, "Just because she has a certificate that she doesn't have one, it won't be that easy to convict Yan Qi, unless Yan Qi admits his guilt himself."
Saying that, Liu Ruo Qing's brows furrowed in distress.
Without any physical evidence, could it be that Yan Qi was really allowed to get away scot-free?
"The most important thing right now is to save that young master of the Chen family."
"But, if we go to a doctor, it'll be very easy for us to expose their whereabouts."
Liu Ruo Qing raised her concerns.
Yan Yuan nodded and then looked at her deeply. The light in his eyes was clear and complicated.
Liu Ruo Qing seemed to understand the meaning behind Yan Yuan's words, and laughed dryly: "You aren't thinking of letting me see Young Master Chen's sickness are you?"
Yan Yuan smiled and nodded without any hesitation.
"Right now, the Chen family's people are very hostile towards the officials. On one hand, if we send a doctor over, they will expose their whereabouts. On the other hand, they will not tell us the truth. Only by eliminating their wariness will we be able to get out of their mouths what we really want."
Yan Yuan's words were not unreasonable, it was just that …
She looked at Yan Yuan with a little difficulty, "My medical skills are still incomplete, what if I am unable to cure Young Master Chen?"
Yan Yuan was amused by her words. His soft eyes held a trace of firm trust and confidence, "You can even cure Chang'er's disease, Young Master Chen's illness that was burnt by fire, isn't this very easy for you?"
Liu Ruo Qing let out a dry laugh, she did not dare accept Yan Yuan's confidence in her.
Yan Yuan reached out and rubbed her hair habitually, saying, "Why do you have so little confidence in yourself?"
Liu Ruo Qing didn't know how she should explain how she treated Yan Chang's illness. It was simply too much of a coincidence.
Her master had taught her Chinese medicine since she was young, but she wasn't interested in it and didn't really learn it.
Because of this, he received quite a bit of scolding from his master.
But she really couldn't hold her interest, so her master gave up. The only request was to let her learn how to use a type of fetal poison, saying that it might be useful in the future.
When Liu Ruo Qing checked Yan Chang's pulse, she was shocked when she realized that it was her master who had made her learn how to cure her illness.
His Master really did divine calculations, she actually got caught by him.
Therefore, she was really only half-hearted towards traditional Chinese medicine, and only knew how to cure Yan Chang's illness.
But this was too much of a coincidence, Yan Yuan would not believe it, and would even start to suspect her identity.
A while ago, she had already felt that Yan Yuan was suspicious of her identity, but after seeing that he had not made any movements recently, she had finally relaxed.
Once she found her master and obtained the letter of rest, everything would come to an end.
"Then... "Then I'll try."
Liu Ruo Qing stiffly smiled at Yan Yuan, but in her heart she was complaining.
Forget it, I'll just give it a try. Although it's just a small test, I've learned it for seven or eight years and it's still a bit inexperienced.
When Liu Ruo Qing appeared in front of Lady Chen, it was that night.
The moon was almost fifteen, round and bright, illuminating the entire dilapidated temple as if it were day.
Ever since the murder at the inn tomorrow, the eldest young mistress of the Chen family no longer dared to play the part of a ghost.
Although this matter had indeed attracted the attention of the imperial government, it was related to the murder case so her heart was still in suspense.
It was fine if King Jing could find the culprit, but if she couldn't, then she would become a suspect.
She sat in front of Chen Gongzi and used the medicinal herbs sent by the waiter to lightly apply on his body.
Suddenly, a series of rhythmic footsteps came from behind her. Although it was very soft, she did not lower her voice. Young Mistress Chen could hear it very quickly.
She suddenly turned around and saw a masked man dressed in black standing in front of her. Under the reflection of the moonlight, his eyes were bright and sharp.
