Chapter 40: Why is it you

Why is it you

In the room, behind the screen, steam was curling.

Nie Jinxuan leaned comfortably in the bathtub. It was fine when Xiao Xiu was accompanying her earlier. But now, left alone, she couldn't help but think of what happened this morning!

Actually, Nie Jinxuan understood why Yin Fengzhan scolded her for being brainless. After all, in this feudal ancient era, anatomy, medicine, and various aspects were not that developed, so her personally opening the skull to retrieve the needle this morning was indeed shocking. And at that time, besides Gu Hong, there was a coroner from the Ministry of Punishments named Meng Xian present, so if this spread, it would definitely cause a stir!

But given the situation at the time, Nie Jinxuan really couldn't stand waiting for a few more hours to see the result. So, if she could choose again, she would still choose to do it herself.

So, understanding Yin Fengzhan's thoughts was one thing, but the reality was another. And what was even more excessive was that he actually treated her like that. Thinking of this, the anger Nie Jinxuan had just suppressed flared up again! She looked up at her wrist, which had been pinched into blue marks, and couldn't help but curse:

"Dead jerk, the grip was so heavy... hiss—"

Nie Jinxuan was furious. But before she could finish her words, she couldn't help but hiss, reached out to touch her neck, and then Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but think of Xiao Ru.

Yes, the killer who killed Qian Dahai was Xiao Ru. But now Xiao Ru had been killed in public by someone using a hidden weapon... But who was this killer?!

And clearly, the other party wanted to kill Xiao Ru to silence her, so the killer who killed Xiao Ru and the killer who killed Wang Fu were likely the same person. And given the situation at the time, Xiao Ru was killed by a hidden weapon shot from the front. So, the killer's position should have been directly in front of Xiao Ru!

But at that time, Xiao Ru was holding her with her left hand, and directly in front of her was Yin Fengzhan... Could it be that Yin Fengzhan was the killer? No, impossible! The killer couldn't be him, otherwise, why would he keep investigating this case?! And if it wasn't him, then behind Yin Fengzhan, which means...

The killer was someone who was in the front hall at the time!

And who was in the front hall at the time?! Han Luoxue and several concubines, Qiao Yuaner kneeling on the ground, some maids, servants...

So afterwards, Nie Jinxuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out! Finally, until the hot water turned cold, Nie Jinxuan sighed and stood up from the bathtub... But just at this moment, there was a 'creak' sound from outside the screen, the sound of a door being pushed open.

"What's wrong, Xiao Xiu, is there something? Didn't I tell you to go rest first?"

Nie Jinxuan instinctively thought it was Xiao Xiu and asked aloud. But after a long while, she still didn't hear a reply. Instantly, Nie Jinxuan felt something was strange and turned her head reflexively. But the moment she met a pair of cold and deep eyes, she was shocked.

"W-why is it you?! Get out! You get out!"

Growing up, Nie Jinxuan had never been so flustered. While shouting aloud, she instantly shrank her body into the bathtub, revealing only a pair of angry eyes, glaring fiercely at the man who was leaning against the screen.

But at this moment, watching Nie Jinxuan's flustered yet angry appearance, Yin Fengzhan merely looked at her without changing his expression, and then said coldly:

"Put on your clothes and come out!" ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
