Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Discuss Your Discoveries
“My condition is that you allow to participate in the investigation. This condition shouldn’t be excessive.”
“Do you not know that it is improper for a woman to show her face in public?”
This sentence, Chu Yuxiao said it so softly that no one other than Su Yan heard it.
“It seems the Marquis looks down on won. Besides, if you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, who would know I am a woman, your wife, Chu Yuxiao?”
Chu Yuxiao looked at her calmly, his lips always holding a trace of a smile, as if he were amused or mocking.
Su Yan looked him straight in the eyes, without blinking.
...
Although looking into his eyes could easily make one fall…
After what seed like a long ti, just when Su Yan thought she could no longer hold on, he looked away, smiling:
“Fine, I agree to your condition.”
He suddenly turned and walked towards the main hall, sat down in the seat of honor, and said:
“Now, you should share your findings. If they are aningless, then I will retract my promise to you.”
Su Yan was not worried because she had indeed discovered sothing.
She stepped forward and pointed to the corpse’s wound with a folding fan:
“From the wound on the victim’s neck, it was caused by a sharp weapon. And this weapon should be made of bronze.
Therefore, the Marquis can have soone inquire throughout all of Linglan City’s blacksmiths to see if anyone has crafted a bronze artifact half an inch wide, shaped like a tube.”
Chu Yuxiao nodded, indicating for her to continue.
“Moreover, I slled a faint scent of jasmine flower from the nostrils of the deceased.
If I’m not mistaken, it must be a sedative made from jasmine flower powder that, once inhaled through the nose, would cause imdiate unconsciousness.
And not just any clinic could manage to refine sedatives from jasmine flower powder.
Thus, the Marquis only needs to have soone investigate, and I believe the seller will soon be found.”
Su Yan’s gaze once again fell upon the corpse’s wound, and she continued:
“From the wounds on the three victims, the locations are precise, to the letter, the force used was moderate, indicating that the murderer is skilled in martial arts.
Following these three clues should lead to so evidence.
Marquis, do you think what I’ve said is aningful?”
Chu Yuxiao rested his forehead on his hand and quietly watched her, the glints flickering in his eyes revealing nothing of his thoughts.
