Shi Yun continued, after a bit of sorting, the general investigation plan emerged.
Cui Lan, you must have forgotten that I come from the prison system, and my specialty is solving cases. I was once nicknamed "Mad Dog" because once I set my sights on a target, I would never let go. With over ten years in the prison, I have never made a mistake and have overturned countless cases. Your little tricks with the Cui Family are nothing compared to that.
Moreover, I despise evil and cannot tolerate threats against me. A few days ago, you let something slip, and I suspected that Shi Yang might still be alive. Feeling a bit guilty, I spent several days setting up an escape route for you and the Cui Family.
It seems that no matter how much I do, you still look down on me. You may hate me, but to even target A-Yuan is crossing the line. A-Yuan is my bottom line; if you dare to touch him, don't blame me for turning against you.
Cui Lan let out a bitter laugh. If A-Yuan is your bottom line, then what does that make my Yang'er?
Shi Yun closed his eyes to hide his pain and sighed. Shi Yang has already passed away; let's just assume he is gone.
Cui Lan shouted angrily, but he was just killed!
He is dead; I will give him a proper burial. The living are what matters most.
Cui Lan was furious. A burial means nothing when the person is dead! Shi Yun! The one who should die is you! You are a disgrace! What do you mean by eliminating evil for the people? You are only worried about your own power!
You send your own son to his death; turning disadvantage into advantage affects you not at all while enhancing your reputation! Shi Yun, stepping over your own son's blood to climb higher—how can you be at ease with that?
In this matter, the Cui Family has not acted; don’t even think about pinning this on us maliciously. Without the Cui Family, what are you, Shi Yun?
At that moment, Qi Shuo led the Office of Censors into the room. The steward dared not stop them and had no time to inform anyone in the household; he allowed them to witness Cui Lan's frenzied state.
Shi Yun saw Qi Shuo arrive just in time. Cui Lan was plotting a prisoner exchange and had just attempted murder; it was inappropriate for her to remain in the residence.
The Yongxin Marquis once said that there were some vacancies in the Prison of the Office of Censors, so it would be perfect to arrange a room for this woman to cool off.
Qi Shuo kicked out his dagger and swiftly subdued her before handing her over to other Warriors. He then stood before Shi Yun and said, Master Xiang, His Majesty has summoned you urgently.
Let me tidy up first. Just as he finished speaking, Shi Yun sighed and said, Well then, we can't keep His Majesty waiting; let's go.
Grandfather!
Shi Yuan instinctively grabbed his hand, worry evident in his eyes.
Shi Yun patted his hand gently and whispered, With someone dead, our situation may actually improve. Don't worry; Grandfather knows how to handle this. I don't know when I'll be back; please take care of things at home. If there's anything you don't understand, ask the steward.
Qi Shuo was polite as he escorted him; once Shi Yun got into the carriage, he joined him inside and got straight to the point: The one who killed Shi Yang was a female student from the Imperial Academy who had been imprisoned there before.
Thank you.
Qi Shuo continued, the situation at the scene was clear, with only two sets of activity traces, yet Marquis still harbored doubts in his heart.
The Female Student first killed Shi Yang and then took her own life. The motive seemed reasonable, but the method was illogical.
Shi Yang indulged in pleasure every day; although he had sustained some injuries, he was ultimately a man. On the other hand, the Female Student, bearing countless scars from her suffering, had only been rescued a little over ten days ago. In such a short time, it was impossible for her to recover her strength.
Moreover, there were no traces of any substances that could affect movement found in Shi Yang's body. It was evident who would win and who would lose if the two faced off against each other.
