Chapter 92 - Chapter 92 092. Wasn't he very conscious before?!

"What are we doing in Shen Yuan's room?"

Behind the black mask cloth, Liu Ruo Qing's bright big eyes were revealed as she looked at the person beside him who was covered by a black cloth and was still unable to conceal her handsome appearance.

"If the culprit was really Liu's, then the place where she killed Shen Yuan wouldn't be too far away. As a woman, unless she had a helper, it wouldn't be that easy to kill a young girl like Shen Yuan and hang his on the roof. Furthermore, it would be very easy for his to be discovered.

After Yan Yuan's explanation, Liu Ruo Qing quickly understood, "That's right, which is to say, the place Liu's has the highest probability of killing Shen Yuan, is this courtyard."

Yan Yuan nodded, following that, he inspected the room, and realized that there was nothing special about it.

"Let's go and take a look outside."

The two then arrived at Shen Yuan's courtyard. In this courtyard, there was an meticulously crafted garden with all sorts of flowers, most likely planted by Shen Yuan.

"Look."

Yan Yuan reached out his hand, pulled Liu Ruo Qing to the side, and pointed at the two lines of soil on the ground that clearly had traces of dragging, as he said in a low voice.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the ground along the direction that Yan Yuan pointed at. Under the moonlight, she could clearly see the two marks left on the ground after being dragged around.

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes grew deeper as she looked up at Yan Yuan and said, "When I inspected Shen Yuan's body today, I also discovered that the heels of her shoes had traces of being dragged along and worn down."

"In other words, it is very likely that Shen Yuan was killed here."

These two trails perfectly confirmed his previous guess, and at the same time, deepened Liu's's suspicions.

"If we search again, we might find some other clues."

"Yes."

Under the moonlight, two figures dressed in black were busily working in the flower beds, borrowing the light of the bright moon.

Suddenly, Liu Ruo Qing stopped in her tracks, she crouched down and picked up a transparent object by her feet, which was still stained with blood.

"Look, it's broken armor."

Looking at the object in his hand, Liu Ruo Qing raised his eyebrows at Yan Yuan, feeling extremely proud of his previous guess.

"From the Liu's?"

"It should be hers."

Liu Ruo Qing thought that it shouldn't be so coincidentally, Liu's's fingernails just happened to be broken, and she coincidentally found a broken armor here.

Just as she put the armor away, another important clue caught her attention.

She extended her hand and picked up a vine like plant on the ground, scanned her surroundings, and then said to Yan Yuan: "Chicken Bone Grass' vine."

Yan Yuan had heard Liu Ruo Qing mention Chicken Bone Grass before, and now he found its vines at a place that was completely devoid of Chicken Bone Grass.

It was obvious that someone had specially brought the Vine of Chicken Bone to this place.

"Is this vine the weapon used to strangle Shen Yuan?"

Although Yan Yuan asked in an inquiring tone, his eyes seemed to be very sure.

Right now, all the evidence matched up with their previous speculation.

There were traces of being dragged through the mud in the flower garden, but chicken bone vines were found in places that had no chicken bone grass, the armor that the Liu's cut off, the attitude the Liu's had towards Shen Yuan, all kinds of evidence proved that the culprit was Shen Yuan's biological mother, Liu's.

However, there was another question. Although these things were all pointed at the Liu's, but —

"Although this evidence verifies our previous reasoning, it does not have enough power to correct the Liu's."

What Yan Yuan said was exactly what Liu Ruo Qing was worried about just now.

"That's right, as long as the broken surface of the armor is properly trimmed, the section of armor will not match up. Other than this broken armor, although I can confirm that Shen Yuan was strangled to death by the chicken bone grass, I can't prove that it was the Liu's."

Liu Ruo Qing pursed her lips and frowned.

In the modern world, if one used the blood on the fingernail as DNA, they would be able to confirm if it was Liu's's.

In this backward ancient era, it was really inconvenient to do anything.

Yan Yuan saw that Liu Ruo Qing was frowning and did not say a word, but her expression still looked troubled.

Inexplicably, he didn't like seeing her down. Although that chattering and weird girl from before could make him angry, in comparison, he still liked to see her carefree and carefree.

"It's very late, let's go back first. Since we have confirmed that it's the Liu's's doing, she will reveal herself sooner or later. There's no need to be anxious about this moment."

He walked in front of Liu Ruo Qing and comforted him.

"Yes."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, since she had no other choice, she could only go back first and make a trip to the Shen Mansion tomorrow.

When Liu Ruo Qing prepared to return to the East Garden, he discovered that Yan Yuan didn't have any intentions of sleeping by his side either.

She stopped in her tracks, her scalp suddenly going numb as she looked at Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan also noticed her actions, and turned his head to face her confused and cautious gaze.

"Why?"

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, slightly unhappy because of Liu Ruo Qing's slightly guarded gaze.

Liu Ruo Qing looked around, moved to Yan Yuan's side, and said: "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping in the study, why are you here with me?"

She pointed to the main entrance of the East Garden and asked.

Yan Yuan's thick eyebrows slightly knitted together, a look of displeasure flashed past his eyes, and he said: "The study is the place where This King is supposed to handle official business, after I finish dealing with official business, of course I'll go to sleep at the place I should be sleeping."

Hm?

Liu Ruo Qing's mind froze, and she stared dumbly at Yan Yuan who was swaggering into the East Garden, heading straight for the second floor's bedroom.

"Hey!" Yan Yuan! Yan Yuan! "

Liu Ruo Qing finally regained her senses, seeing that Yan Yuan had already reached the second floor, she anxiously followed behind Yan Yuan.

When she went up to the second floor, Yan Yuan was already sitting in his room. Seeing that he had leisurely poured himself a cup of tea and brought it to his mouth, and that she had hurriedly pushed the door open, Yan Yuan's lips lightly moved as he looked at her.

Liu Ruo Qing rushed in front of him and took the cup from his hand, then stared at Yan Yuan with his bright black eyes: "You're not planning to sleep here tonight are you?"

"What's the problem?"

Yan Yuan ignored the astonishment in her eyes, and looked at her with a faint smile.

"Of course there's a problem. This is my room, how can you sleep here?"

"Your room?"

Yan Yuan looked at Liu Ruo Qing's eyes, as if he had heard an enormous joke, and a ridiculing smile swept past her eyes. "Love Consort, are you planning to seize the Qilin's nest?"

Liu Ruo Qing was startled by Yan Yuan's question, and then she understood the meaning of his words.

Yes, this was originally his room, but ever since she had married into his family, it had always been hers. Didn't he consciously sleep in the study before this?
