Chapter 125: Dressing as a Woman Again
Chapter 125: Dressing as a Woman Again
"Those who died were all men. Even if you have any suspicions, you should not suspect Xiaohan."
Zhang Xiaohan had tears in her eyes, she looked so pitiful and innocent.
Seeing that he really couldn't ask anything more, Li Siqi simply stood up and left.
When Xu Yingying saw Li Siqi's actions, she also stood up, but she was still lingering at the door and didn't want to leave. She still didn't know what was on Zhang Xiaohan's body.
Zhang Xiaohan naturally noticed Xu Yingying's actions. She looked at Xu Yingying with a smile on her face, "This gentleman is hesitating here, but is there anything else you want to say to Xiaohan?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Xu Yingying's face. She then realized that her purpose was a little too strong. She covered up her embarrassment with a smile.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Zhang. I was just thinking about something, so I..." Xu Yingying said to Zhang Xiaohan, then followed Li Siqi and left Yihongyuan.
After coming out of Zhang Xiaohan's room, Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying with burning eyes. He thought that Xu Yingying looked like that just now because she must have discovered something.
After returning to the mansion, Li Siqi asked anxiously, "Brother Xu, did you find anything just now? What's wrong with Zhang Xiaohan?"
Xu Yingying was stunned. She did discover something, but she was not completely sure. Only she saw it, but her words were not enough to prove it.
Even if we take a step back, if she said something that misled Li Siqi, then nothing can be explained clearly.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yingying said, "There is indeed something wrong with Zhang Xiaohan, but I am not very clear. There are still many mysteries about her. It is not advisable to act rashly at the moment. It is better to take a long-term view."
After saying that, Xu Yingying went back to her yard. She still had some questions to ask Tuanna.
After returning to the room, Xu Yingying couldn't wait to call Tuanna out.
When Tuanna appeared, the thick resentment was still lingering around her. After catching Xu Yingying's sight, she suddenly took back the resentment.
"Sir," Tuana said respectfully.
"Do you feel anything wrong today?" Xu Yingying asked after Tuanna was bounced away.
Tuanna was full of confusion. "Your Excellency, I don't know what's going on, but I have wanted to do something to Zhang Xiaohan more than once, but I couldn't touch her, so I came to seek your help."
Xu Yingying seemed to be thinking, "Then do you know what kind of magical instruments or things Zhang Xiaohan carries with him?"
In fact, apart from magic weapons, Xu Yingying didn't know what else could achieve this level.
But disappointingly, Tuanna shook her head and said, "No, I used to be Zhang Xiaohan's personal maid, but I have never seen any magic weapon on her."
Seeing that there were no clues on the way to the magic weapon, Xu Yingying became even more frustrated.
The rare peaceful days without murders were broken again. Overnight, the number of male deaths in Jun County reached a new high. Early the next morning, the bodies of nearly ten men were found by the river. For a while, the people were in a panic.
As the county lord, Huang Shaohua also hurriedly found Li Siqi because the people were very dissatisfied with Huang Shaohua because the murderer had not been caught for such a long time.
Among the people, some people began to clamor for Huang Shaohua to get off the stage, saying that she was not worthy of being a county lord until the murderer was caught. Such words were heard everywhere, and the door of Huang Shaohua's mansion was filled with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs thrown by the people.
Huang Shaohua was already extremely worried because of the murder case. The nerves in his brain were stretched so tight that they almost broke when he was scolded. His psychological quality was not very good to begin with, and he thought he could take it easy in Jun County, but he didn't expect such a vicious incident to happen just after he took over.
He was indecisive and hesitant in the court. In modern terms, he suffered from severe decision-making difficulty. In the end, Huang Shaohua chose to find Li Siqi.
"Your Highness, what should we do about this matter? It's been so long, and I still have no idea."
When Huang Shaohua found Li Siqi, he was about to cry.
Xu Yingying watched from the side and felt that Huang Shaohua was about to break down. "Your Highness, what should I do? What do you think I should do next?"
Li Siqi also had a headache facing this kind of thing. He knew that Huang Shaohua was suffering, but he had no better solution at the moment.
"Don't worry. This is not a simple matter. Go and calm the people first. I know it's not your fault for something like this to happen, but the people may not think so. Anyway, wait and see. I think there should be a breakthrough soon."
With Li Siqi's words, Huang Shaohua felt a little more at ease.
After seeing Zhang Xiaohan off, Li Siqi was silent for a while, and then went to find Xu Yingying.
When Xu Yingying saw Li Siqi coming to find her, she knew that he wanted to ask about the murder case. Before Li Siqi opened his mouth, Xu Yingying said, "I still have no clue about the murder case. For now, we still need to start with Zhang Xiaohan."
"But when I went there a few days ago, I didn't find anything unusual..."
"There is nothing abnormal. This is the biggest abnormality. I always feel that this was done by Zhang Xiaohan. What we lack now is only evidence." Xu Yingying was still calm.
After a long while, Xu Yingying said, "I'll change my clothes and go to Yihongyuan again."
Li Siqi was a little confused, "What kind of outfit?"
But soon, he was speechless, because he knew what outfit Xu Yingying was talking about.
Xu Yingying got up and went to the inner room. When she came out, she had changed into women's clothes. Xu Yingying was handsome in men's clothes. After returning to her true identity, the sense of incongruity that she had in men's clothes had completely disappeared.
Li Siqi stared with his eyes wide open. He had never known that Xu Yingying looked so beautiful in women's attire. It was no exaggeration to say that she was a beauty of nature.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Seeing Li Siqi staring at her in a daze, Xu Yingying called him a few words uncomfortably.
Li Siqi suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes flickered as he looked at Xu Yingying, and the tips of his ears unconsciously turned red.
"Ahem, what's going on?" Li Siqi cleared his throat and asked uncomfortably.
Xu Yingying was a little dissatisfied with Li Siqi's performance, "Your Highness, am I dressed strangely?"
Li Siqi shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, women's clothes...suit you very well."
