Cui Chong lowered his head, his tone full of guilt.

"Princess, Qiu Keshi committed suicide in prison."

Yan Ruyu was shocked: "What?"

She also wanted to send someone to the prison, and had discussed it with Governor Cao, but unexpectedly, Qiu Ke Shi died before the person was sent out.

Song Ping couldn't help but frown and asked, "What did you do?"

Cui Chong was full of self-blame: "I had just locked him up in prison, and hadn't had time to search him and change his prison clothes. I simply touched him and found nothing foreign on his body. But who would have known that this guy had a piece of fake skin stuck on the inside of his thigh, and it also hid a thin blade, and then..."

"He was determined to die," Yan Ruyu said in a deep voice, "From the very beginning, he decided to die."

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in blaming anyone.

"Captain Cui, go back and tell Governor Cao that there is no need to blame yourself too much. Since you have made up your mind, you can't prevent it. Right now, you should prepare for the next step."

"My Lord, I came here to personally apologize to you, but he also said that we should do the current things well, make amends first, and apologize later."

"The master is taking the coroner to examine the cause of death to see if there are any other reasons. In addition, the Qiu family has also gone there and is crying."

Yan Ruyu was surprised: "So fast?"

"That's right," Cui Chong nodded, "That's why you decided to deal with them first and let me come here."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "You go back first, and I will be there soon."

"Yes."

Song Ping sent Cui Chong out, and Yan Ruyu went back to the yard to change clothes. Since she had to go now, she had to go as a princess.

Linlang and Luhu have also returned. They are very excited and are telling the boss what happened on the street.

When talking about the ugly behavior of the fake Taoist priest, the three of them laughed so hard that they fell over.

Seeing Yan Ruyu coming back, she stepped forward to greet her. Seeing that she didn't look well, Linlang asked what was wrong.

Yan Ruyu said, "Qiukeshi committed suicide in prison."

All three of them were stunned.

Lu Hu was surprised: "He died? He committed suicide? That's too weird, isn't it?"

Yan Ruyu's mind moved slightly: "Why do you say that?"

Lu Hu blurted it out just now, but now he feels a little embarrassed and dares not say it.

Linlang encouraged, "What are you afraid of? If the master asks you to speak, just speak. Don't be afraid."

Lu Hu blushed slightly and nodded: "I saw him once when I followed the princess to the street."

"It was his chariot that frightened the horse. He was screaming in the chariot, very scared of death. After the horse was restrained, he immediately punished the charioteer. It was very fierce."

"I think that people like him are afraid of death and will not die bravely."

After listening to this, Linlang also said, "Master, a person's temperament cannot change in an instant. He was just thinking about getting Zhuangzi, trying every possible means, but suddenly he wants to die without any scruples."

The eldest boss looked at Lu Hu and said, "You said he scared the horse. Was he injured at that time?"

Yan Ruyu was about to ask this question.

Green Lake recalled the scene at that time: "Yes, he was injured. I remember when he fell out of the car..."

Lu Hu recalled and gestured: "My arm, my right arm, hit a rock on the side of the road. I couldn't move at the time, so I went straight to the clinic."

When Yan Ruyu heard Linlang say that it was impossible for people to change so quickly, an idea came to her mind.

Could it be that someone has disguised himself? Now we know that Qiu Keshi’s right arm was injured, which is an important clue.

"Okay, Lu Hu, think about it, is there anything else you know about Qiu Ke Stone?"

Yan Ruyu asked Lu Hu to continue thinking while she went into the house to change clothes and took out some snacks from the space.

When I returned to the courtyard, Luhu was whispering something with Linlang and the boss. His face was a little red. Linlang and the boss didn't seem to care.

Linlang urged her: "Hurry up and tell me, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Yan Ruyu gave the snacks to Lu Hu: "What did you think of?"

"It's just that... Qiu Keshi seems to have a lover."

Erya? Yan Ruyu thought of her first.

However, on second thought, it didn't seem right, because Qiu Keshi brought a person from outside the Great Wall with him, and the person from outside the Great Wall was looking for Erya.

Furthermore, Erya’s focus should not be on love affairs.

Lu Hu continued, "I also heard about it from a few ladies chatting. Madam Qiu had a quarrel with a few ladies that time."

"I heard that Qiu Keshi really liked his cousin's fiancée. They were about to get engaged, but he secretly interfered. When his cousin found out, he got beaten up."

The big boss snorted, "Shouldn't this kind of person be beaten?"

Linlang nodded: "Indeed, he deserves to be beaten."

Green Lake continued, "However, clean up and beat, things have come to this point, and the woman has been fascinated by him for some reason and wants to marry him, but her family thinks it is shameful and does not agree."

"The Qiu family also disagreed. Qiu Keshi was the eldest son and had high hopes placed on him. His future wife would definitely be carefully selected. But Qiu Keshi did not give up. He actually let the woman leave home and raised her outside."

"Then do you know where this woman is now?" Yan Ruyu vaguely felt that this should be the key.

"I heard it happened in Huatian Lane. When I asked around there, many people knew about it. It was a big deal at the time and it was no secret."

"It's just that it's been a while, so people don't mention it anymore."

Yan Ruyu knew what was going on, so she asked them to guard the yard and then went to the governor's mansion.

When he went out of the yard, he met Beibei and Zhao Yan, and told them to go to Huatian Lane to inquire about Qiu Ke Shi's lover.

Governor Cao was busy and exhausted, and was very angry.

The princess had just ordered that Qiu Ke Shi be kept under strict guard and that someone would be sent to watch over him. He also told them to lock him up for two days to temper his temper.

It was a disaster. Before an hour had passed, in the blink of an eye, the person was dead.

What's going on? How can I explain this to others?

Governor Cao felt so ashamed that he wanted to go up and beat Qiu Keshi up.

But it's no use pumping, the person is already dead.

The coroner examined the body again and again but found nothing unusual: no poisoning, no hidden injuries, only a knife wound on the chest.

The knife stabbed in with the blade almost gone in, which showed how determined he was at that moment, without any hesitation at all.

It's obvious that he wants to die.

Governor Cao was puzzled.

While he was thinking about it, Cui Chong came to report that the princess would be here soon.

Governor Cui rubbed his face and said, "Welcome him."

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.

"Where are the Qiu family members?"

"She is still crying outside and has not left."

Before the coroner performed the autopsy, the Qiu family arrived. Governor Cao said a few kind words to them, but the Qiu family still refused to give up and insisted on an explanation.

Just as the coroner finished the autopsy, Governor Cao returned to the prison to inquire about the situation.

Now, the Qiu family has not left yet.

"Okay, tell them about the situation."

Before Governor Cao arrived, he heard the crying.

Madam Qiu cried the loudest, fainted several times, and was heartbroken.

Governor Cao frowned slightly and walked quickly forward.
