"Let's talk about the case!" After drinking up Li Ruo, regardless of whether the crowd was still in a daze or deep in thought, she took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Mo Shang, tell me your opinion!" Xuanyuan Mo didn't really understand the case, and on Ruo Ruo's side, the two of them had just been together and nothing special had happened. Since Mo Shang arrived, he had been checking the surroundings, perhaps speaking up and letting everyone analyze the situation.

"There's nothing special about it. The modus operandi of the murderer is very concise. There was nothing of value found at the scene of the three murders, so it's a little strange."

The villagers said that when they saw the painter at the east side of the city again this morning, they did so. However, according to my understanding, Mu Feng is a person who does not like to chat with people, and he usually does not go out. When he has time, he would go to the cruise ship to teach people how to paint.

Li Ruo and Xuanyuan Mo glanced at each other, their eyes flashing with surprise, "A person who has lived in seclusion for so many times has suddenly appeared here, this is a little abnormal!" He had just found out that some early risers had seen him here.

Moreover, there was more than one person who had seen it.

"What was he wearing before he left?"

"It's white. He always wears only light colored clothes, and he seems to have some sort of stubbornness. He was born in the Imperial City seven years ago, and because of his good drawing and good looks, he was known by the people in the Imperial City as aloof and cold."

"What did you think of?" Xuanyuan Mo looked at Li Ruo who was deep in thought and asked.

"Ruo Su said that the culprit was wearing a black robe and a mask, but his figure looks like the painter Mu Feng …"

"Mu Feng is an elegant person and has already been in the Imperial City for seven years. If it really was him, then why did the Imperial City remain peaceful for these seven years? Until last night, when the relay houses were attacked, he appeared one after another. Clearly …" No, that's not right. Mo Shang originally wanted to say this, but as he was speaking, he suddenly felt that something very clear was about to break out from his brain.

"If the culprit is really a huge group, then perhaps their goal is to destroy the National Assembly in nine days …"

Since they are able to blow up the inn, they are also able to do other things. If I am not wrong, these girls were forced to do it on the spur of the moment, or perhaps the emotions of the murderer have not been released due to being suppressed for a long period of time.

"What could have caused him to suddenly lose control over his emotions? Those girls who died, it was really too horrible to look at! " Su Lin frowned. What had happened to hurt three girls so suddenly? If it wasn't already dawn, wouldn't more girls be injured?

Furthermore, before this, she had already made a preliminary judgement. The two girls that had died had died because they couldn't endure the man's powerful strike. It wasn't suicide at all.

"General Li, take your men and search house by house. Record down any store that sells fireworks. As for us, it seems like we need to make a trip to the east side of the city personally!"

People were still coming and going on the pleasure boat. It was obviously inappropriate when they entered. Some of the young masters and ladies were painting wholeheartedly. They were scared out of their wits when they saw so many officials suddenly barge in.

"What do you want to do, break into the pleasure boat?"

"This pleasure boat is yours?"

"No, this is my master's. I'm just watching on his behalf!" It was a man in his thirties who was neither haughty nor humble. It was unknown whether he had seen this kind of scene many times in his daily life or if he had already made proper preparations for it.

"What is the name of your master? "Where is it now?" It was naturally inconvenient to reveal Xuanyuan Mo's identity during the investigation. When Mo Shang asked, he took out the token in his pocket first.

"I didn't know that Lord Shang Shu had come in person. This humble one has missed the opportunity to welcome you!" If he didn't answer the question, he would kneel down and pay his respects.

The environment was very quiet, clean and tidy. Outside the cruise liner was a pond, and at the moment, the lotus flowers were withered, leaving behind only some dried up vines. The leaves on the willow trees beside the pond had all fallen, but this kind of scene didn't make one feel depressed; rather, it inspired them.

"Answer my question!" Mo Shang spoke very simply, not liking to ask too many questions.

"Ugh …" The steward could not accept such a straightforward interruption.

"My master is resting right now. I'm afraid he is. It would be inconvenient for him to meet guests!"

"Please look carefully, this official is here to handle a case and not your guest!" Initially, Mo Shang could not act so arrogantly before this matter was fully investigated, but he clearly hated people who tried to shun the situation.

"Even if it's a case, we'll have to wait until my master wakes up!" The butler's attitude was clear.

"Butler, don't be rude!" Just as Mo Shang was about to flare up, a crisp voice came from the inner room.

He saw an extremely handsome man in white robes lift up the curtains and walk out. His face was handsome and he held a fan in his hand. With a glance, he could tell that this was another elegant man.

"Yes sir!" The butler bowed and backed off, then stood behind him.

"May I ask why you are looking for me?" His voice was like a clear spring, ethereal and beautiful, with a warm smile on his face. It was really hard for people to believe that such a man was the murderer. Mo Shang was slightly startled, questioning his judgment for the first time.

This Mu Feng gave off a refreshing feeling. They had only heard of his name before, but they had never met him. Now that they have met him, they felt that he wasn't even a hair's breadth away from it.

He was such a fine man. As long as he wanted, what kind of woman did he want? He didn't need to be in danger.

"I'm sorry!" Mo Shang slightly nodded his head, "I am the President of the Ministry of Justice, Mo Shang. Because last night, there were a few murders in the south of the city, and some of the victims claimed that their backs resembled you. We came here to understand the situation!"

"What?" Could it be that Lord Mo thinks that I'm the culprit? " His words were spoken carelessly, but his smile was devoid of meaning. He was neither nervous nor surprised.

"That's not it. It's just that Young Master Mu usually doesn't leave the main gate, yet he suddenly appeared in the south side of the city last night. Furthermore, he is near the victim's home. I just came to check on the situation!"

As they were speaking, a waiter had already brought everyone to the inner room. As soon as they sat down, they had already steeped some tea for them.

"Heh, then, may I ask Sir, who do you think I can kill with my weak and sickly physique?" Mu Feng laughed at himself.

According to the rumors, Young Noble Mu Feng was doing well anywhere, but his body was not in a good condition. It seemed that the rumors were true.

"It will be difficult to kill an ordinary person. However, it is more than enough to kill a weak woman." This person's face was indeed a little pale, and he did indeed look a little frail and sickly. However, she did not believe him. At the very least, they didn't believe that he didn't have the ability to kill.

To be honest, when Mu Feng saw them enter, he was not the least bit flustered or surprised. His butler was very understanding, and he seemed to be a good teacher, or perhaps it could be said that he had been trained.

She did not believe that there were so many coincidences in the world.

"This is?" Mu Feng slightly frowned and was slightly displeased. It was unknown if it was because Li Ruo said something that he shouldn't have said, or because she interrupted their conversation.

"Who I am is none of your business. However, since I am able to appear here, it means that I can listen to you. Just say whatever you want!" Li Ruo was not as patient as Mo Shang.

"It was originally something insignificant, but since you insist on knowing, I'll tell you then!" Mu Feng was clearly angry. He put down the teacup and spoke without thinking.

"Last night, I suddenly had an old illness and went to see Old Man Li at the south side of the city. I stayed there all night until this morning, and because I didn't sleep, I just wanted to take a rest."

"I'm sorry!" Mo Shang frowned slightly. Mu Feng was so sure that the matter should not be fake. In that case, they had made a misjudgement.

"We will investigate this matter thoroughly. If you are innocent, then we will naturally not wrongly accuse you!" Liruo stood up, obviously not intending to ask anymore. It wasn't because he had any clues, but because this person's mouth was very tight. He wouldn't be able to get any answers out of it if he continued to ask.

However, when she got up, she accidentally tripped on the foot of the table, causing her to lose her balance and topple forward. While she was flustered, she could only randomly grab onto something beside her and accidentally pulled onto Mu Feng, who was closest to her.

"Why are you so careless!" Xuanyuan Mo pulled her up and a light flashed in Li Ruo's eyes. She leaned forward once more, escaping Xuanyuan Mo's grasp and once again smashing towards Mu Feng.

Everything seemed careless, but Xuanyuan Mo felt Liruo's action of gently pushing him away a moment ago. He was hesitant and puzzled, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Liruo.

Was she really that eager to throw herself into his arms? Weren't their faces filled with disgust just now?

"Miss!" Mu Feng growled in fright as his face paled slightly. Li Ruo noticed that the veins on his hands were bulging as if to push her away, but she didn't dare to do so due to her identity.

"Why are you so stupid? You can't even catch me like this!" Li Ruo stood up with a stagger. Her voice sounded like she was acting coquettishly, and her face was slightly red. From the looks of it, she seemed to be shy.

"…" After saying this, Li Ruo could clearly see Mu Feng's expression become even gloomier, and she already had some guesses in her heart.

The bashfulness on Li Ruo's face had long since disappeared as soon as she left the cruise liner.
