The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Master Liu San huddled in a corner of the cell, curling himself into a ball.

When Lu Zhaoling arrived, he could still hear his teeth chattering. There was an official guarding outside his cell.

"Is he still the same?"

Lin Rong asked the officer.

"Yes, my lord."

"What's going on?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Lin Rong said, "He was frightened a year ago, and was so frightened that he forgot what happened at that time. I consulted the assistant doctor, and the assistant doctor said that this is possible. People will choose to forget the situation at that time after being overly frightened."

Lu Zhaoling nodded. She didn't find it strange. There was such a possibility.

"So he's remembered it now?"

"I dug quite deep during the interrogation and happened to guide him to remember what happened at that time, and he became what he is now," said Lin Rong.

It seems that Lord Lin is very good at investigating cases and he digs very deeply.

"So what did he say?"

"He said that the Liu family had an apprentice back then, who was actually his father's adopted son. That person took the surname of the Liu family and his given name was Yi."

"Liu Yi?"

"Yes. Liu Yi has learned the skill of making lanterns very well, even better than the eldest and second sons of the Liu family. As for Liu San, he really has no interest in this craft, so he doesn't care. Three years ago, the Liu family suddenly discovered that people who went to the Liu family to buy lanterns would specify that Liu Yi make them. Moreover, Liu Yi also improved the thousand-work lanterns, making them even more exquisite. Buyers all want to buy this kind of thousand-work lanterns."

Lu Zhaoling nodded.

The thousand-crafts lantern is indeed ingenious and exquisite.

"Originally this was a good thing, but three years ago Liu Yi suddenly wanted to leave the Liu family and start his own business. The Liu family disagreed, thinking that if he left, it would be like taking away the Liu family's customers. In the future, there might be another lantern-making workshop that would surpass the Liu family in reputation."

Lu Zhaoling thought for a moment, "Did Liu Yi leave in the end?"

"Liu Yi is missing." Lord Lin said.

"disappeared?"

"Yes, it is said that Liu Yi went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboos and never came back. The Liu family searched for a long time but couldn't find him, so they reported him to the authorities. I checked the files of that year and found him. The officials also searched for Liu Yi for more than three months, but they didn't find any clues, so they kept the case unsolved."

"What did Liu San see?"

"Liu San said that he went out of town to play a year ago and drank a little too much, so he went to Yingshan by mistake. In a bamboo forest in Yingshan, he saw a man cutting bamboo. In the mist, the man looked towards him. He saw the man's face, and it was Liu Yi!"

"Firefly Mountain? Firefly Mountain again?"

Lu Zhaoling felt that he had heard about Yingshan too often in the past two days.

"It's that Yingshan Mountain. Miss Lu also knows that General Qiu's daughter disappeared in Yingshan Mountain?" Lord Lin asked.

"know."

"I heard that Lord Chen asked for help from Prince Jin, and Prince Jin also led people to Yingshan. I hope they can find Miss Qiu as soon as possible."

"Ah! Yingshan! Ghost, it's a ghost!" In the cell, Liu San seemed to have heard the word Yingshan as well. He suddenly screamed, jumped up and rushed over here, holding the iron bars tightly with both hands, his eyes wide open, and shouted to Lu Zhaoling, "There's a ghost, a ghost!"

"Behave yourself!" the officer immediately shouted at him.

Lin Rong wanted to stand in front of Lu Zhaoling, fearing that she would be frightened by Liu San's appearance, but Lu Zhaoling had already walked into the cell and looked at Liu San.

She looked calm, without any sign of fear.

Lin Rong laughed secretly. He was confused. She was not afraid of the house with dead people and coffins. How could she be afraid of a mere imprisoned Liu San?

"Master Liu San, you said you saw a ghost?"

"Ghost! There is a ghost!" Liu San shouted again.

Lin Rong said, "The ghost he was talking about was Yan'er, the maidservant of Sun's cousin Mo Qingqing. But the day after Mo Qingqing's death, Yan'er was found drowned in the water. It is said that her face was unrecognizable and her body was swollen. Liu San saw it with his own eyes."

"But, in the bamboo forest of Yingshan Mountain, Yan'er was actually with Liu Yi. Liu Yi cut the bamboo and she was helping to move it."

"So Liu San was frightened?"

"Yes, at that time Liu San was afraid that Liu Yi didn't know Yan'er was a ghost, so he shouted to Liu Yi to run away, saying that Yan'er had died a long time ago and she must be a ghost."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Liu San in surprise, "Master Liu San is quite loyal."

Even when he was frightened, he was not afraid of alarming Yan'er and even shouted to Liu Yi to run for his life.

"According to Liu San, he and Liu Yi have had the best relationship since childhood. His elder brother and second brother have always disciplined him, but it is his sworn brother Liu Yi who understands him the best," said Lin Rong.

"and then?"

"Then Liu Yi smiled at him, and then, his face was suddenly covered with blood, and his eyeballs bulged out. He said to him sinisterly, 'I am also a ghost, can't you see?' Then, Liu San fainted from fear."

Lu Zhaoling: “…”

The officer next to him couldn't help but ask Lu Zhaoling, "Second Miss Lu, do you think Liu San really saw a ghost?"

"Where did the ghost come from?"

Lu Zhaoling laughed. "If they were ghosts, why would they bother cutting bamboo there? Didn't they cut enough bamboo to make lanterns when they were alive?"

The officer was stunned for a moment, "That's true."

"Ghost! Ghost! Brother, don't look for me! It's none of my business. I didn't kill you, and I didn't kill Yan'er!" Liu San shouted again at this time.

"Miss Lu, I want to continue questioning, but Liu San seems to be in a daze. It is not easy to continue questioning him. I want you to see if there is any way to restore his consciousness?"

"Have the identities of the corpses in the house been found?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"Come to think of it, one of them is the one that was swollen by water. But if the person in the bamboo forest is Yan'er, her identity is still in doubt."

"There are two more." Lin Rong suddenly paused, "I wonder if Miss Lu has read today's Beijing News?"

"I saw it, is there any connection?" Lu Zhaoling was surprised as an idea flashed in his mind, "Master Lin, could it be that two of the corpses belong to the two girls who disappeared in Yingshan that year?"

Lin Rong was shocked by her again, "Second Miss Lu is indeed smart, that's right."

"The two sisters have been dead for so many years, Lord Lin can still find out?"

Lu Zhaoling was even more shocked by his ability. How did he find out?

“This is all thanks to Lao Jin.”

"That coroner uncle?"

"That's him."

Lu Zhaoling admired him. "Old Jin is really amazing. Lord Lin, tell me how he found out later. Now I'll see how to help Liu San recover."

"Ghost! You are a ghost! Don't come over here!" Liu San suddenly yelled again, turned around and retreated into the cell, ready to bang his head against the wall, "I will die by myself, don't peel my skin off!"
