Chapter 515 The Princess Meets Prince Lin

Inner courtyard.

Lin Qingqing appeared in the courtyard and was reporting the situation to Lin Jiangnian.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have followed your instructions and sealed down the casino involved in the case and brought everyone back..."

Lin Qingqing's efficiency was unparalleled. In less than a day, all the people involved in the case were arrested.

As for the government, when Lin Qingqing arrived with Lin Jiangnian's order, no one dared to stop him. The prefect wanted to come out and offer some advice, but Lin Qingqing directly ordered him to shut up, and then turned over the files that had been closed.

This investigation revealed the problem indeed!

There is something wrong with this case!

On the surface, Sun Yuan mortgaged his wife to the casino because he owed money to the casino. He regretted it and came back the next day. As a result, he had a friction with the casino people and was accidentally beaten to death by the casino people. !

After the incident happened, the government quickly intervened and arrested the casino thug who beat Sun Yuan to death. But because both parties took action, the government finally determined that it was manslaughter due to a fight. After paying some money, the murderer was sentenced to several years in prison.

Everything looked normal, nothing unreasonable at all.

But the problem is that this case was concluded too quickly!

From the incident to the government's intervention, to the final closure of the case, it took less than half a month before the incident was over.

No one even asked the old woman what she thought!

What's even more coincidental is...

The casino thug was thrown into jail and sentenced to three years. But less than a month after being imprisoned, this man committed suicide in prison...

The report given by the government was that this person could not bear the torture in prison and chose to commit suicide.

At first glance, it sounds okay!

But if you think about it carefully...the problem is huge!

It's such a coincidence that almost any normal person can smell the conspiracy.

But, the problem arises again...the murderer is already dead!

After so long, the bodies have been burned to ashes, and all evidence of the truth has been completely destroyed.

Even if you know there is a problem, what can you do?

After hearing Lin Qingqing's report, Lin Jiangnian frowned.

No wonder Chen Junru was so confident and kept his mouth shut. It turned out that the Chen family had covered up the truth a long time ago.

Now that the murderers are gone and the case is almost a solid case, how can the case be overturned?

Lin Jiangnian can arrest people without evidence, and even kill people without evidence.

But the people of Linjiang City need it!

Killing Chen Junru is easy and does not have any difficulty for Lin Jiangnian, even if he is a member of the Chen family... But how to kill him to convince the people and make them applaud is the problem.

Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt that it was hard to be a good guy, so it was better to be a bad guy. There was no need to think about this. If someone didn't like him, he could just kill him.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have checked the people in the casino, but failed to find any useful clues. The Chen family has already destroyed all the evidence. It is almost difficult for us to reverse the case."

Lin Qingqing's face was a little solemn. After checking, she realized that the matter was not simple.

Even if everyone knows there is a problem, how can we convince people without evidence?

She had been running around for a whole day and had captured all the people involved in the case, but the confessions of these people were all without any problems, and they were completely consistent with what the government said.

More importantly, none of them seemed to be lying!

This is the trickiest thing!

Right now, ordinary methods simply don't work anymore. The Chen family is not a small family, and they cannot just ransack their homes with a wave of their hands like they did with those small families.

Without evidence, this case cannot be closed.

More importantly, His Highness boasted in front of the people of Linjiang City only when he entered the city that he would investigate the truth of the matter and clear the old woman's name.

The people of Linjiang City are still watching. If the matter cannot be resolved properly, His Highness's reputation will be even more tarnished. At the same time, he has to bear the reputation of collaborating with the Chen family.

Seeing His Highness looking deep in thought, Lin Qingqing thought for a while and then said: "Your Highness, will you continue to investigate?"

"If Chen Junru really killed him, I don't believe they didn't leave any clues. Give my subordinates some time and they will definitely find out."

Lin Qingqing's eyes were firm. As long as she had enough time, she would have to find the evidence even if she turned Linjiang City upside down.

"No need."

Young Lin Jiang shook his head and thought for a moment. Suddenly a light flashed through his mind and he raised his eyes: "Wait, I seem to have forgotten someone?"

"who?"

"Where is Sun Yuan's wife?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked.

According to what the old woman said, his daughter-in-law was snatched away by someone. What the government said was that Sun Yuan lost money gambling and lost his wife to the casino. No matter which version it is...

What about Keren?

From the beginning to the end of this case, the wife was not present?

This is the most incredible place!

"What the casino said is that the person has been sold!"

"Where were they sold?"

"That's not clear..."

This case has happened for a long time and has been closed long ago, and many things have been settled. Lin Qingqing learned from the casino's investigation that Sun Yuan's wife was sold not long after she was mortgaged to the casino.

As for where it was sold, time was tight and Lin Qingqing had not had time to check.

"If this case is really related to Chen Junru, then he must know where the person is!"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and found a breakthrough: "Find that woman, she is the key to this case."

"But..."

Lin Qingqing hesitated: "Your Highness, it has been so long, could that woman have been silenced?"

"It is possible."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, there is indeed a possibility of silencing.

With the means of the Chen family, there will definitely not be any clues left.

"Then we..."

"We still have to check."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "Change your mind this time, check the servants around Chen Junru, and those children of the noble families who often play with him, check them!"

"They are very likely to know something."

"Yes."

"..."

The night falls slightly.

In the small courtyard, the cool breeze is bleak.

Jinxiu sat under the eaves bored, pulling the leaves in the corner of the courtyard, blowing the evening breeze, looking lazy and comfortable.

The thin clothes revealed her beautiful and proud body, her chest bulged, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Pulling the leaves in her hand clean, Jinxiu sighed lightly, propped up her little face, stared blankly ahead, not knowing what she was thinking, various emotions kept appearing on her face, sometimes laughing, sometimes angry, and sometimes shy, all kinds of emotions gathered.

It was not until half a while later that she finally came back to her senses, raised her eyes, and just met a pair of cold eyes.

"You, why are you looking at me?"

Jinxiu was startled, inexplicably guilty, and subconsciously patted her chest. As she patted lightly, she trembled.

She was startled.

Not far away, under the eaves, An Ning was staring at him expressionlessly, without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?"

Jinxiu said unhappily.

An Ning expressionless: "You are guilty!"

"I, what am I guilty of?"

Jinxiu was indeed a little guilty, but she certainly couldn't admit it.

"You're a little bit strange recently. Why are you always staring at me?"

Jinxiu thought carefully and found that this girl was indeed a little bit problematic recently. She was always in a daze alone, and her eyes looked at her a little strangely.

Jinxiu was a little panicked. Did she find something?

"You are the one who is not right!"

An Ning retorted, staring at Jinxiu in front of her.

She felt that Jinxiu was the one who was not right!

And, it was very wrong.

"You are the one who is not right. You are a peeping Tom who likes to peek at others!" Jinxiu snorted coldly.

"I'm not."

"You are!"

"No."

"You are."

"..."

The courtyard suddenly fell silent again. The twins who looked exactly the same just stared at each other, and no one spoke. They just stared at each other stubbornly.

No one gave in to anyone!

Even though they had two identical faces, they made people feel that kind of completely different temperament, which was particularly contrasting!

"I see that you have been in a trance recently. You must be thinking about men!"

Jinxiu was the first to break the silence and complained first.

"You, you are the one who thinks about men!"

An Ning's tone suddenly became a little excited, and this also made Jinxiu quickly realize something.

Huh?

Why is she so excited all of a sudden?

Looking at An Ning again, in the dim light, it can be vaguely seen that the cold little face seems to flash a touch of...red?

Something is wrong!

Very wrong!

Jinxiu's heart skipped a beat, could she have been right?

This little girl, is she really thinking about men recently?

What kind of men can she think about?

During this period of time, the only man who appeared around them was not the palace...

This thought came to her mind, and Jinxiu's heart tightened immediately.

Just when she was about to say something, footsteps sounded behind her.

"You are all here!"

Lin Jiangnian's voice appeared in the yard, looking at the sisters who were "confronting" in the yard, breaking the silence.

Under the eaves not far away, An Ning, who saw Lin Jiangnian appear, seemed to be frightened by something, turned around, and fled in a panic.

She ran very fast, and disappeared before Lin Jiangnian could get close.

"Huh?"

Lin Jiangnian looked puzzled and looked at Jinxiu: "What's wrong with her?"

Why did she run away when she saw him?

"Isn't it all your fault?!"

Jinxiu glared at him angrily.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Lin Jiangnian was puzzled, he didn't do anything.

"Humph, it's all your fault!"

Jinxiu was angry, how could she not blame him?

He bullied her, and now he didn't even let An Ning go... Jinxiu was anxious and angry.

"What are you doing here again?!"

She subconsciously said something angry.

"Can't you come?"

Lin Jiangnian saw that her tone was wrong.

"Yes, of course."

Jinxiu snorted coldly: "This is your Lin Wang Mansion, you can come wherever you want."

"Tsk tsk, listen to this?"

Lin Jiangnian walked up to her and couldn't help laughing: "Who has offended you in any way, why are you so aggressive?"

"I don't know."

Jinxiu turned her head away, not looking at him, and pouted: "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"To see you."

"What else?"

"By the way, see your princess, where is she?"

Lin Jiangnian looked up and saw that the light in Li Piaomiao's room not far away was not on.

Jinxiu pouted: "Not here."

"Not here?"

Lin Jiangnian was puzzled: "Where did she go?"

"To see the prince."

"Hmm...Hmm?"

"..."

The lights flickered, and the hall was cold.

The evening breeze blew in, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

A graceful figure in white stood quietly in the hall, with a cold and elegant temperament.

But for some reason, Li Piaomiao, who had always been calm and composed, was a little absent-minded today, and the whole person had an indescribable trance.

And a touch of imperceptible... nervousness that emerged from time to time?

She looked forward quietly, and in the darkness not far away, a figure slowly appeared with an invisible momentum spreading. Li Piaomiao's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, and her body reacted instinctively, and her internal force surged.

In an instant, the surroundings were cold.

But in the next second, it dissipated into nothingness.

In just a moment, it was as if it had never appeared.

"As expected of the eldest princess, at such a young age, such a talent for martial arts is amazing!"

Lin Hengzhong's hearty laughter came, his tone full of admiration.

Li Piaomiao lowered her head slightly, and a few emotions seemed to flash in her beautiful eyes, and she calmed down.

"Meet Prince Lin!"

"Princess, there is no need to be polite!"

Lin Hengzhong walked into the hall, waved his hand, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a few years. The princess seems to have improved a lot in strength?"

"A master who is less than 20 years old is unique in the world of martial arts in the past hundred years!"

Li Piaomiao lowered her eyes and remained silent, without saying a word.

She was not good at speaking, especially tonight.

"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to thank the princess for helping me last time."

Lin Hengzhong said: "If it weren't for the princess's rescue, Jiang Nian would probably be in danger."

Last year, Lin Jiangnian was assassinated the night before he entered Beijing. When his life was hanging by a thread, it was Li Piaomiao who appeared and saved Lin Jiangnian from Shen An.

But Li Piaomiao's appearance was also a backup plan arranged by Lin Hengzhong.

Li Piaomiao said in silence: "I owe you a favor."

Lin Hengzhong waved his hand: "You owe me a favor, but I owe you my life!"

"You saved Jiang Nian, so you are the benefactor of my Lin Wangfu! Such a great favor, I naturally cannot treat the princess unfairly."

Li Piaomiao just shook her head lightly and said nothing.

She didn't think it was a big favor.

And, Lin Jiangnian had already repaid her for this favor...

If you really count it, she should owe him now?

"Princess, are you okay on the way here? Are you used to living in the palace?"

"Very good."

"That's good, the princess doesn't have to be restrained, just treat this as your own home, and ask for anything you need."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"How is your majesty?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your condolences, everything is fine."

"..."

The atmosphere in the hall was a little weird.

Lin Hengzhong, who used to be serious, was no longer as majestic as before. He was like a kind old man, with a relaxed tone, and he cared about the princess who came from afar without getting tired of it.

Li Piaomiao was also a little uncomfortable. She was not used to the enthusiastic care of the famous Prince Lin in front of her.

Prince Lin, can he be a chatterbox?

At this time, Lin Hengzhong asked about the princess's recent situation in a gentle tone. His tone suddenly changed, and he looked at her with a gentle look and a little smile.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet..."

"Princess, when do you plan to marry Jiang Nian when you come to Linjiang City this time?"
