There was a moment of silence in the room, Huangfu Nan cheered up and looked at the portrait on the wall.

"He reminds me of someone." Huangfu Nan said.

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao looked at her.

Huangfu Nan's head was slightly raised, the water-green hair band was hanging behind her back, and a few strands of black hair on her side cheeks were disobediently scattered around her ears at this time, reflected by the candlelight, leaving behind her beautiful side cheeks. A few strands of shadow made it difficult to see her expression clearly.

"I once saw a man who liked to steal the corpses of people who had been dead for less than three days."

Ghouls?

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "When a person dies, he should be buried in the ground. Why did that person steal someone else's corpse?"

Huangfu Nan turned his head and showed him a complicated smile, "For his wife."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback.

"He did it for his wife. He hoped to find miracles of life, or create miracles of life, in these people who had died within three days, and then bring his dead wife back to life."

That was an interview she saw, an interview about a mental patient. It had been 12 years since the man and his wife met until his wife died. Two months before his wife died of illness, the man began to steal the body. He experimented on the dead bodies, hoping to see the miracle of life, and hoped to bring his wife back to life.

"When the man was arrested and brought to justice, he said that he knew what he was doing and that he was crazy, but he couldn't help but want to try. He hoped that his wife could come back alive, no matter what she looked like, as long as she was still His wife, then everything is fine." Huangfu Nan looked at the picture on the wall and murmured, "You say, if Sun Lingqun is really the murderer, if he killed those young children because he wanted his wife to be resurrected, he Is it the same as the person I just mentioned?"

Poor and hateful.

Gongsun Ce was silent, and then said: "Although their motives are all for their wives, the things they do are very different. The person you mentioned was only disturbing the peace of the deceased, but now Sun Lingqun is harming the deceased." An innocent child died."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Gongsun is right, what is wrong with an ignorant child?"

Huangfu Nan turned his head, glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile, "I didn't excuse this person."

Gongsun Ce: "..."

Zhan Zhao: "..."

Huangfu Nan's gaze shifted from the portrait of Sun Lingqun to the spot where those young children were abandoned, "If we can't find Sun Lingqun before dark, do we have to follow the bad plan my brother-in-law said?"

Gongsun Ce: "You mean to find the next place where he might drop a sixth child based on the distance and characteristics of the child he left behind?"

Huangfu Nan stared at the map, "Other than that, we seem to have no better way, don't we?" Time is running out, and the possibility of finding Sun Lingqun is not great.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at Huangfu Nan, only to see the tiredness that could not be concealed between her brows, "Huangfu."

"Ok?"

"Why don't I take you back home to rest?" Zhan Zhao said.

Huangfu Nan was startled.

Hearing Zhan Zhao's words, Gongsun Ce nodded in agreement and said, "You look very tired. This case is over, and you have done your best. When your lord arrives tomorrow, it must be based on the news you and Zhan Wei got in Xijing. To make a decision, it is inevitable to search for Sun Lingqun in the city, but other than that, unless someone comes forward to report Sun Lingqun's whereabouts, it will not be easy to find him in Kaifeng City within a day."

Huangfu Nan would never think that the earth would not turn without her, nor would she ever think that her status was irreplaceable.So when she heard Gongsun Ce's words, she really felt that she was unable to do what she wanted at this time, so she nodded readily and said to Zhanzhao, "Then trouble Xiong Fei."

When Zhan Zhao sent Huangfu Nan back to Bao Mansion, Huangfu Nan had already reached the state where he could fall asleep standing up.

Zhan Zhao was about to knock on the door, when he suddenly realized that Huangfu Nan had already closed his eyes by leaning against the wall on one side. Huangfu Nan's shoulder, "Huangfu?"

Huangfu Nan closed his eyes, when he touched her, his body that was leaning against the wall suddenly fell backwards, Zhan Zhao was startled, and quickly stretched out his arms to catch her, her wobbly head turned, Head tilted on his shoulder.

Zhan Zhao's body froze slightly.

The guard Zhan, who is used to being a gentleman, now gets the embrace of the person he likes. After deliberating for a while between carrying the person he likes over the wall and knocking on the door, he finally decides to hold the person he likes over the wall and enter the house for comparison. It's better, anyway, it's not like I haven't hugged it before... Thinking about it this way, the guard Zhan no longer hesitated, bent down and hugged Huangfu Nan horizontally, and walked around to the other side of Bao Mansion, where the courtyard on the other side was connected. It is Huangfu Nanlan Fengyuan.Guard Zhan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he performed lightness kung fu, hugged the person in his arms, jumped up into the air, and climbed over the wall.

When Zhan Zhao carried Huangfu Nan into the room, he happened to run into Mo Yu who woke up in the middle of the night and ran to Huangfu Nan's room without incident.

When she saw Zhan Zhao holding Huangfu Nan, her eyes widened, "Master Zhan?!"

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly at her, then passed her with Huangfu Nan in his arms, and put Huangfu Nan down on the bed.He moved cautiously, as if he held some rare treasure in his arms.

Mo Yu: "..."

Zhan Zhao picked up a thin quilt to cover Huangfu Nan's body, and then signaled Mo Yu to go out together.Mo Yu, who was already stunned, ordered and moved one by one, and only after she went out did she suddenly realize, no, Mr. Zhan is trespassing on a residential house!

"She has been working on the case for the past few days and hardly sleeps, so don't bother her," Zhan Zhao said.

Mo Yu: "But, but..." But Mr. Zhan, you hugged my girl back like this, it's out of courtesy!

Zhan Zhao glanced at her lightly, and said, "I have a sense of proportion in my heart. When Huangfu wakes up, I will explain to her."

Mo Yu was overwhelmed by Zhan Zhao's upright and confident demeanor, and fell silent for a moment, then said softly, "Master Zhan, our girl deserves to be taken seriously."

Zhan Zhao gave a somewhat absent-minded "hmm", and then disappeared without a trace.

Mo Yu, who stayed alone in the spot, choked speechlessly, couldn't help stomping her feet after a while, and said angrily: "What, even if you are Mr. Zhan, you can't be so, so arrogant!" After expressing his tongue quickly, Mo Yu, with puffed cheeks, turned around and went into the room, only to see that Huang Fu Nan, who was supposed to be asleep, had already sat up.

"girl?"

Huangfu Nan looked at her, "Mo Yu, I want to wash up."

Mo Yu: "The girl was not asleep, so why—"

Huangfu Nan smiled and made a gesture to silence her, with a playful tone: "Shh, don't say anything."

Mo Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "Girl, it's wrong for you to do this. Fortunately, the servants saw it. If other people saw it, the girl's reputation would be damaged, so what should I do?"

"If my reputation is damaged, I'll just ask Zhan Weiwei to take responsibility. Since he dares to do it, doesn't he dare to take responsibility?"

Mo Yu was dumbfounded, never expecting that her own girl would have such an idea.

After washing, Huangfu Nan was lying on the soft bed. Her eyes were tired, but her thoughts were still very clear. This was the excitement of a person after being extremely tired.

Huangfu Nan turned over and buried her face in the pillow.

One after another, characters in the case of young children flashed through her mind.

Those innocent children who died.

Sun Lingqun who loves his wife like his life.

Mrs. Sun, who died but her husband has been trying to bring her back to life.

Also, Zhan Zhao.

Huangfu Nan felt that Kaifeng Prefecture was full of talents, and with her righteous brother in charge, tomorrow's affairs would be the same without her, so her thoughts naturally stayed on Zhan Zhao.

Although her methods tonight were a bit unsophisticated, Zhan Zhao should understand her by showing such obvious trust in Zhan Zhao, right?

Will understand... right?

Huangfu Nan fell asleep with the question of whether Zhan Zhao understood or not, and then woke up in the nightmare of being chased by a raccoon cat.

Huangfu Nan hugged the quilt, looked at the sky outside, it was just getting dark, her brother-in-law might not have returned to Kaifeng mansion in the last court, why did she have to wake up when she was tired from running around for a few days and still worried about her relationship? so early? !

Huangfu Nan stood up with his eyes half closed, since he was awake, he continued to return to Kaifeng Mansion.Chao Mahan and the others probably had to continue to work today after all night. Every time Kaifeng Mansion handles a case, it is almost like this. Those bears have long been used to it.

Huangfu Nan got up and tidied up, and was ready to go out.

Mo Yu, who was about to come in to serve her, was stunned when she saw Huangfu Nan was about to go out, "Girl, are you leaving?"

Huangfu Nan bowed his head and tied his girdle while nodding.

Mo Yu stepped forward and took over the work in her hand, "The servant is preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and the girl will leave after using it?"

Huangfu Nan shook his head, "No." As he spoke, he straightened the waistband that Mo Yu had tied up for her, and went out. After walking a few steps, he turned around again, "Well, you should wrap the snacks in the kitchen , let me take it away."

Under the instruction of her master, Mo Yu spent a lot of time packing the snacks prepared in the morning on a plate, and arranged them in different colors, and then put them into a basket for Huangfu Nan to take away.

When Huangfu Nan went to Kaifeng mansion, Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao were busy with their own business, Huangfu Nan didn't ask them, and just took out the various snacks he brought from the mansion one by one.

"Osmanthus cake, radish cake, hibiscus roll... what do you want?" Huangfu Nan glanced across the table, and asked Zhan Zhao who was closer to her while ordering the dim sum on the table.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyes, and looked at her with black eyes that were splashed with ink, with a smile that was not a smile: "Could it be that you give me whatever I want?"

Gongsun Ce, who was holding a brush at the desk in front of him, was about to write. Hearing what Zhan Zhao said, his hand trembled, and a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen. It seemed that the center of the white paper had already been stained with a drop of ink.

Guard Zhan, say hello before you talk nonsense, paper is very expensive these days!

The author has something to say: For Mao, I feel that the emotional scenes I wrote are scum... OTZ

It still hasn't finished yet... I struggled until eleven o'clock to see if there was any hope, and if there was no hope, I would fight again tomorrow morning.
