Chapter 752: Body Found in the Forest

"That's right, I just said it casually, please don't misunderstand me, Your Highness." Jiang Suining said with a smile.

"You want to search, and I have already agreed. If there is no problem, please leave. I still need to continue my cultivation." Xiao Su gave the order to leave in a lukewarm manner.

Pei Zhaozhi didn't want to leave because he couldn't find any clues. However, the other party was Prince Su after all, and the order to expel him had already been issued. It was not a wise choice to stay and anger the other party.

Pei Zhaozhi and his companions said goodbye and left.

Outside the Sanqing Temple, Pei Zhaozhi turned his head and looked back at the Taoist temple behind him. He thought for a moment and said, "Although I didn't find anything wrong just now, I still feel something is wrong."

Perhaps it was due to my intuition from investigating cases over the years, but after meeting Prince Su today, I had this feeling that something was wrong.

Of course, he also knew that investigating a case required solid evidence, and this vague, inexplicable intuition could not be used as any evidence.

"But Prince Su did not agree to the search." Zhong Yixiu's face turned pale, revealing increasingly obvious panic.

She was worried about Zhong Yiyu, and her worry grew with every passing moment.

"There may really be something wrong with Prince Su." Jiang Suining suddenly spoke.

Several people looked at her.

"Ningning, did you find something wrong?" Shen Yanxi asked.

Jiang Suining nodded, "When I checked those rooms, I found that they might have been deliberately decorated by someone."

"How did you know that?" Zhong Yixue wondered. "I went into those rooms and looked around, but I didn't find anything wrong. Besides, the rooms were covered in dust, and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time."

"Those rooms are indeed covered in dust, but I've observed that the dust in each room looks similar. And I checked the ornaments on the shelves and found that there is also dust underneath the ornaments."

"There's dust under the ornaments?" Pei Zhaozhi frowned. "Then this means that the wing room may have been specially decorated."

"That's right. If the ornaments were already in those rooms, even if dust fell, it would not fall under the ornaments. And if the rooms have really been uninhabited for a long time and no one has even taken care of them, there is naturally no need to put some ornaments on the shelves after the dust has fallen."

Unless someone deliberately created a dusty feeling in that wing room, and the ornaments on the shelf were placed there after creating the illusion of dust, in order to make it look more like an ordinary wing room.

"So there must be something wrong with Prince Su!" Zhong Yixiu spoke quickly.

"Just based on this point, it doesn't mean that Prince Su is definitely related to the woman's disappearance. At most, it means that there may be some secrets hidden in the Sanqing Temple."

"Can we use this to have someone search the Sanqing Temple?" Zhong Yixiu continued.

Shen Yanxi shook his head. "I'm afraid it's difficult. What's more, it's just a decoration that doesn't match the dust. If it comes to Prince Su, he can find countless reasons to explain it."

"That's right, so I didn't mention this matter in front of Prince Su just now." Jiang Suining said.

"What should we do? Should we just let it go? What if the woman's disappearance is really related to Prince Su? Wouldn't it be a waste of clues?" Zhong Yixiu was extremely panicked. Although she kept reminding herself to calm down, she couldn't control her emotions when she thought about the fact that her sister still had no whereabouts.

"We can definitely find a way out of this matter, and since Sanqing Temple has doubts, they won't just let it go." Pei Zhaozhi looked at Zhong Yixue with a comforting look on his face, "Let's go back to the Ministry of Justice first, maybe we'll find some other clues."

Following the steps they came from, the few people left and returned to the Ministry of Justice.

As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, Pei Zhaozhi immediately asked someone to inquire to see if there were any other clues from today's investigation.

However, the searching yamen runners still found nothing. The people who were previously captured by Jiang Suining and his team went through another round of interrogation, but still did not reveal any useful information.

Just as they were about to leave the Ministry of Justice, Feng Li arrived.

Seeing that Feng Li looked really bad, Pei Zhaozhi asked, "Are you blamed by the missing woman's family?"

"No." Feng Li shook his head and subconsciously glanced at Zhong Yixiu.

Zhong Yixiu's heart skipped a beat when she saw this look, and she had a bad premonition.

Pei Zhaozhi also noticed something was wrong and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Today, when I met the family of the missing woman, I happened to meet someone who came to report that a woman's jewelry with blood was found in the forest. I took people to search the forest where the jewelry was found, and then..."

Feng Li looked at Zhong Yixiu again.

Zhong Yixue's heart was in her throat, and she asked hurriedly, "Then what?"

Feng Li took a deep breath. "Then we found that some new soil had been dug up in the forest. After we dug it up, we found several female corpses. Their identities have been confirmed. They are those of the missing women, including... Miss Zhong Er."

Zhong Yixue felt as if struck by lightning, her legs went limp, and she fell down instantly.

Jiang Suining, who was standing by, quickly supported her.

"No, this is impossible, it must be a mistake!" Zhong Yixiu instinctively wanted to deny it.

Feng Li looked at her with embarrassment, "Ms. Zhong, I know this news is hard to accept, but things have come to this, you..."

"I don't believe it. Where is the body? Take me there. I want to see it with my own eyes!" Zhong Yixiu interrupted Feng Li.

Her eyes were red, but her face was as pale as snow, without a trace of blood.

"The body has been taken back to the Dali Temple, and Minister Zhong has been notified..."

Before she finished her words, Zhong Yixiu ran out.

When the group arrived at the Dali Temple, Zhongfu's carriage had already stopped outside the Dali Temple.

Zhong Yixiu stumbled in and saw five corpses lying there at a glance, and Zhong's mother, who was lying on one of the corpses and crying bitterly.

Zhong Xingyun stood aside, his face also filled with grief.

Zhong Yixiu felt as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant. Her steps became weak and her whole body felt limp.

She bit the tip of her tongue, relying on the stinging pain from the tip of her tongue to barely support herself and walked forward step by step.

She still didn't want to believe it in her heart, until she saw Zhong Yiyu's familiar face, and the last glimmer of hope was instantly shattered.

His face was gray and pale, covered in dirt, and there was a deep knife scar on his neck. He looked extremely scary.

Zhong Yixiu couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
