Ambiguous Love in Mysteries

Su Mu didn't sleep for the entire night. He only fell asleep when he was close to Yin He. Not long later, he was woken up by the noise outside the door. Su Mu lay on the bed with his eyes wide open like a corpse. The current Wu Qing fully demonstrated how terrible her sleep was last night.

After a while, Su Mu got off the bed. Just as he opened the door, a servant ran past him. Su Mu grabbed the attendant and asked. Only then did he know that another murder had occurred. In a small alley beside the Wu family compound, a vegetable farmer who woke up early and went out to sell vegetables found a dead student in the private school. In a small alley beside the Wu family compound, a vegetable farmer who woke up early and went out to sell vegetables found a dead student in the private school.

When Su Mu arrived, he immediately saw the ashen-faced Official Wu. He was already very fierce, with a straight face and even more threatening killing intent, as if he would attack at any moment. In front of Official Wu was an old woman. She was lying on a white cloth, and what was covered by the white cloth was most likely a corpse. The old woman was crying and howling, scolding the official Wu for disregarding human life and resenting the fact that the heavens had not opened their eyes. Behind the old woman stood a large group of students from private schools and their parents, who silently supported the old woman.

County Magistrate Ge was there as well. He was sweating early in the morning as he continuously wiped the sweat off his forehead with his lapel. He wanted to ensure the safety of the Wu Clan, but with Lin Yi still around, how could he dare to make a move?

Su Mu stood at the side, quietly observing the actions of Officer Wu. Other than anger and impatience, Su Mu didn't see any guilt or fear on his face.

As Su Mu organized the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he suddenly felt his hand heat up. Lowering his head, he saw that it was actually a steamed bun that was still steaming.

"You haven't had breakfast?" At some point, Lin Yi had appeared by her side.

Bao Fusheng stood to the side, dumbstruck. That steamed bun was something he had bought for him to eat, so how could Lin Yi just use it as an offering?

She was not in the mood or had the energy for flirting. Moreover, there was a huge gap between her and Lin Yi's status, so they had to draw a clear line between them. Thus, Su Mu pushed Steamed Bun back and said, "Wang Yu, help me get it."

Lin Yi knew this was an excuse, but he didn't expose it. "I don't know when he'll come back, but you should eat some food first."

It wasn't good for Su Mu to refuse, so he could only accept it.

On the other side, Old Lady Ge, under the persistent persuasion of County Magistrate Ge, brought the corpse to the yamen. The Wu family closed the door, and Official Wu was forbidden to go out until the truth was revealed.

Su Mu did not want to stay together with Lin Yi so he ran off to look for Wang. On the way, Su Mu accidentally bumped into a small and hurried servant boy, who hurriedly apologized. Su Mu felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but after thinking about it, he had been at the Wu family for many days.

Wang Yu was in the backyard frying medicine. The sickly Su Mu had successfully forced him to become an expert in frying medicine. Su Mu mentioned that he wanted to go to the yamen to listen to the coroner's autopsy results. Since Wang Yu said that he wanted to go with him, Su Mu was naturally willing. After drinking the medicine happily, the two of them went out together.

The moment he stepped out of the door, he heard the sound of candied fruits being sold. Su Mu looked at Wang Yu helplessly. Wang Yu couldn't stand the pitiful look in his eyes and after a while, he bought a bunch of candied fruits.

The bitter taste of the medicine in his mouth was quickly washed away. However, as he looked at the last candied fruit, the smile on Su Mu's face suddenly disappeared.

"The peddler has already gone far away, I will not chase after him to buy more." Wang Dong thought that Su Mu hadn't eaten enough.

"Wang …" Su Mu seemed to have thought of something and hesitated.

The coroner had a lot of experience. By the time Su Mu arrived, the autopsy was already over. He waited for a moment before the coroner came out of the morgue.

"The cause of death was the heart pierced by a weapon." The coroner replied.

Su Mu asked, "How was it pierced through? Is it going down or down or down? "

The coroner glanced at County Magistrate Ge. He was unable to answer this question. In the end, it was Su Mu who found a thin wooden stick and stabbed into the corpse. The conclusion was that the needle was flat and the depth was less than three meters.

The dead man was no more than 1.3 meters tall, and unless he was lying on his back and stabbed, the killer couldn't have been an adult.

Su Mu didn't want to believe it. He ran to the alley where the dead person was found. There were only a few traces of blood on the ground. It was obvious that the dead person didn't die there.

County Magistrate Ge followed Su Mu with a stupefied expression. However, Grand Master Ge ran over to report that someone had come to report the matter. He claimed that there was a large amount of blood at home and his own son was missing.

The group hurried over, only to see the so-called missing child being carried by his mother. He was crying loudly, but there was indeed a large pool of blood on the ground.

"I always thought people were good at first, Wang. I seem to be wrong." Su Mu muttered. The first child's stabbing wounds from an unknown weapon, the sticks from the candied fruits, the flat thorns, and sprays of blood seemed to be telling Su Mu that she was wrong. Human nature was truly evil.

"Lord, Lord!" Another bailiff ran over, "The case has been solved, Officer Wu has committed suicide out of guilt!"

As the crying child heard the voice of the bailiff coming out from his mother's chest, her innocent face revealed itself in front of Su Mu. Su Mu held onto Wang Er's arm and closed her eyes; this was clearly the boy that she had bumped into in the Wu family's courtyard just now. He was also the child who had sat at the last table and shouted for Su Mu to believe them.

Official Wu had died in the study, leaving behind a letter admitting that he had killed the victim he had found today. The victim was the murderer of his son, and now that his wish had been fulfilled, he knew that he could not escape death, so he poisoned himself.

The brush strokes were weak and weak, each sentence carrying a sense of immaturity. This letter is full of holes.

Lin Yi's heart ached as he looked at Su Mu. Su Mu truly loved children, but the truth was still the truth.

"Did you see that?" Su Mu looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"I can see it." If not for this letter, he might not have been able to connect all the clues together. But now, the truth had been revealed.

"I won't be going when the meeting starts tomorrow. There are still some clues I'll tell you later." Su Mu was a little tired. A good Wu family was destroyed by a group of children, leaving only Old Lady Wu behind!

"No one is born with evil, nor is there anyone born with kindness. Regardless of whether they might be young or old, they are all human. They all possess the seven emotions and six desires." Lin Yi held the fan in his hand as he comforted her.

Su Mu looked at the cloudy sky outside and didn't say a word.
