Chunlan took a soft pillow and stuffed it behind Ning Miao's back for her to lean on.

"In fact, I don't know what happened. I bought some special products from Beijing as ordered by the mistress, but the waiter wouldn't let me go upstairs, saying that the tenant of the Tianzihao tenant had told me not to be disturbed by anyone."

"Then I thought of waiting at the door of the inn. The lady has finished her business and has to leave the inn."

"The carriage that the Second Young Master took after leaving the court happened to pass by the road in front of the inn. Guard Lan saw me and asked me why I was there. I told him the truth."

"Then, the carriage stopped, and the second young master got off and entered the inn. The waiter wanted to stop him, but he said he was investigating a case at the Dali Temple. The waiter was so scared that he dared not to continue, and he went straight to the room on the third floor."

"There was a woman guarding the door of this room. When she saw the Second Young Master coming up, she quickly informed him. The Red Guard drew his sword and crossed it across her neck, and the Second Young Master kicked the door open."

"And then...then..." Chunlan hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed.

Ning Miao gestured to her: "Just say it."

"That is... I saw a man hugging the eldest lady in the room. The eldest lady called for help. Then the second young master told us to stay outside and went into the room himself."

"Then, the Second Young Master used his inner strength to close the door, and I had no idea what happened in the room."

Ning Miao nodded, feeling confused.

How did Yan Mobai know that she was in danger?

Or maybe he didn't think she was in danger, but just heard that she was meeting guests here, and Chunlan said that no one was allowed to disturb her, so he suspected that she was secretly meeting with someone, so he came here?

"What's happening next? Is Doctor Hu coming?" Ning Miao asked Chunlan.

Chunlan nodded: "Yes, he stayed in the room for almost two hours, and the second young master left with him."

"When he left, the Second Young Master asked the maid to come in and take care of the Madam, and he also told everyone not to tell anyone about what happened today."

Ning Miao was a little surprised.

After thinking about it, I understood.

If it gets out, her reputation will be ruined, and the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion will be ruined. Moreover, the incident involving Yan Changjing may not be kept secret.

"So, madam, that man didn't want to buy rouge, but wanted to do something bad to you, right?" Chunlan asked.

Ning Miao nodded: "Well, fortunately the Second Young Master came, so I was lucky enough to escape."

"You've been worried to death for a long time. Madam, you can't go to business appointments alone in the future. You must let me accompany you." Chunlan was still frightened.

Ning Miao curved his lips: "Yeah."

"How do you feel now, ma'am?"

"Fortunately."

There was nothing wrong with my body, but I felt a little restless inside.

She had such a good opportunity but failed to get Yan Mobai. She was afraid that she had no hope in this life.

Hey.

Dali Temple

Yan Mobai sat behind the desk, his brows and eyes calm, and he looked majestic without even getting angry.

The red wind and blue shadow were on his left and right behind him respectively.

Standing in front of the table was Zhang Yuan, the chief clerk of the Dali Temple, who was respectfully reporting the investigation of the case to Yan Mobai.

"The deceased had two wounds on his body, one on the back of his head and one on his chest. There was blood and swelling on the back of his head, probably from being hit by a hard object. The fatal wound was on his chest, where his heart was pierced by a sharp blade."

"No murder weapon was found at the scene, so it must have been taken away by the murderer. In addition, there were tooth marks on the back of the victim's hand."

Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes and calmly hid his left hand in his wide sleeves.

The woman also left teeth marks on the back of his hand.

Zhang Yuan was still reporting, but he felt the voice became distant. The scene of the woman leaning over and kissing the back of his hand emerged in his mind.

"Based on the shape and size of the tooth marks, it is preliminarily determined that the owner of the tooth marks is a woman."

"Also, there was red female lipstick on the deceased's Adam's apple."

Yan Mobai's consciousness was pulled back by these words.

The woman also kissed his Adam's apple.

There's no lip balm on his Adam's apple, right?

After leaving Qingfeng Inn, he came to Dali Temple without ever looking in the mirror.

Did he wipe it later?

He couldn't remember.

Suddenly he felt his Adam's apple getting hot and his mouth was very dry. He quickly picked up the cup and took a sip of water to hide his inner uneasiness.

There should be no lipstick, because that woman is usually as pure as a lotus in water and seldom wears makeup.

Moreover, she first kissed his lips, then the back of his hand, and finally his Adam's apple.

Even if I put on lip balm, it would have been kissed away long ago.

I glanced at the back of my hand and saw there was no lipstick on it.

There is definitely no such thing on the Adam's apple.

He felt relieved.

Zhang Yuan is still reporting.

"We think the deceased had sex with a woman not long before he was killed, but he was unmarried. We have sent people to check all the women he had contact with, with a focus on brothels."

"Why?" Yan Mobai suddenly asked.

This was the first sentence he said since listening to the report today.

Zhang Yuan, Chi Feng and Lan Ying were all stunned for a moment.

Zhang Yuan replied: "Because most women wouldn't be so intense during sex, biting the back of the hand and the throat. I feel like only women in brothels would use such tricks..."

Before Zhang Yuan could finish his words, there was a "bang" sound, and Yan Mobai put the cup in his hand back on the table.

"Feeling? Is this how you solve cases?"

All three of them were frightened.

Zhang Yuan quickly explained: "We just have this suspicion. We are not just investigating the brothel. We will investigate all the women who had contact with the deceased."

"You are wrong to doubt like this. Such subjective thoughts will seriously mislead your judgment." Yan Mobai's face was stern and his voice was as cold as ice.

Zhang Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes and nodded: "Your Excellency's teaching is correct, we will remember it."

Yan Mobai looked at him coldly and opened his mouth.

"There are many possibilities for this situation, for example, the woman you mentioned, for example, a woman who is bold in sex, for example, when both parties are passionate, for example, when having sex after being drunk, for example, when some drugs or incense are used to enhance sexual pleasure, or for example, when the woman is poisoned by someone."

Yan Mobai spoke slowly and gave several examples one after another.

Zhang Yuan raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, very surprised.

How could their Lord Temple Minister, who is a staunch person and knows nothing about love affairs between men and women, know so much about this?

Lan Ying looked at Chi Feng excitedly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

When Chi Feng met his gaze, he used his eyes to remind Chi Feng of the last sentence.

For example, a woman was drugged.

Isn't this what happened today?

Today in the inn's room, Madam Ning must have done something shocking that was seen by her master.

He now even suspected that his master's bruised lips were bitten by Madam Ning.

Although he knew that given his master's temperament and skills, such a thing would not happen.

But...other than that, he couldn't think of how his adult's lips got broken.

If you bite it accidentally, you can only bite the inner lip of your mouth, not the outer lip.

If you get angry, it is impossible that you didn't get angry before entering the inn, so you got angry when you leave the inn.
