Your Highness's Beloved Medical-skilled Princess

Chapter 146 Clueless Case

Yuan Qingling carried with a smile, like a pool of tranquil water. Her face was pale but inside with brisk

emotion. She remarked, “I am referring to the thing you got bitten by a dog when you were little.”

Yu Wenhao also couldn’t help laughing out. Anyway, most people had experienced several

embarrassed things when growing up.

He sat down, instructed the nurse to go out and said to Yuan Qingling in a commanding voice, “Go to

sleep!”

Sleep again.

Yuan Qingling had slept so long that she felt her spine was damaged.

She lied down and begged, “I don’t want to sleep anymore. I have slept too much in these two days. I

want to have a talk.”

“You can’t. Your injury hasn’t even started healing. You can’t go anywhere today. Just stay at home to

recover.” Actually, Yuan Qingling went to Prince Huai’s residence two days ago. She stopped injections

from today and only left doses for three days there. Therefore, she was hanging out in the rest time

except today.

“Ok. You’d better hurry up to go to the government office.” Yuan Qingling urged.

“I have to go to the government office today. You must listen to my words and stop hanging around.” Yu

Wenhao helped her to tuck up. He was not in the mood to start working

He was already satisfied to accompany her every day.

He kissed her goodbye with reluctance. Yuan Qingling’s face was clean and tense, making it very

comfortable to touch.

“Maybe I will leave after you fall asleep.”

Yuan Qingling smiled and remarked, “Hurry up. You will waste a lot of time by sticking with me.

Besides, I can’t have a good rest when you’re at home because I always want to talk with you.”

“Then let’s talk!” Yu Wenhao came close and suggested.

Yuan Qingling pushed him away and said, “Just leave. It’s the same if you can finish working early.”

Yu Wenhao kissed on her lips again and finally stood up with a smile, saying, “Well then, I will leave

now. I will come back early tonight. Remember to take your pills and have a good rest.”

Yuan Qingling closed her eyes and noted obediently, “I know. I will sleep now.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Yu Wenhao finally left in reluctance.

Now he had two cases to handle with. He had to call officers during the time when Yuan Qingling fell

asleep to discuss at night. The process went slow and he also felt disturbed.

The murderer didn’t even leave any clue. Although there was a witness to these two cases, he was

simply a little baby who couldn’t even speak.

This case had drawn the attention of officers in the imperial palace. Yu Wenhao’s father also mentioned

it during the imperial court in the early morning. Although the case didn’t have a fixed deadline to finish,

he knew his father had to go against pressure from every side. Therefore, it was necessary to deal with

this case as soon as possible.

After returning to the government office, Yu Wenhao couldn’t help getting angry when finding

investigation in these two days didn’t have any progress. He asked, “Have you asked every residence

nearby? The case didn’t happen during the night time. There must be passers-by. Did no one notice

there were suspicious man getting around?”

The catcher leader lowered his head when hearing his scold. After a long time, he finally responded in

a low voice, “A fool in the village told me he saw a man in black clothes passed by with a sword, but

considering his intelligence, I don’t think his words are trustable.”

Yu Wenhao showed sharp eyes and asked seriously, “He is a fool, not a blind person. Why don’t you

keep asking if he told you he saw a strange man passed by? Maybe you will get useful clues from him.”

The catcher leader hurriedly said, “Yes, I know. I will ask him right now.”

Yu Wenhao was really irritated by him. He rubbed his eyebrows anxiously. The capital city hadn’t seen

such a serious homicide for a long time. Why did two series of homicides happen one after another as

soon as he took the official post? He doubted whether the murderer was coming for him or not.

The worst thing was that he would be the one to blame if the cases couldn’t be solved.

The catcher leader didn’t make any breakthrough and brought the fool back.

The fool was in his thirties. He was in rugs with a pair of shabby shoes made from grasses. His hair got

so dirty that it even had knotted with lice crawling on.

Seeing this, Fucheng hurriedly scolded the catcher leader, “Why did you bring him here? Aren’t you

afraid you will scare the prince?”

Yu Wenhao glanced at the fool, finding he was not completely stupid. At least he knew to kneel down

when seeing him.

The fool suddenly kneeled on the floor heavily, making a loud noise. Yu Wenhao almost thought his

kneels were breaking into pieces.

The fool lied on the ground to pay the highest respect and remarked, “Greetings, prince!”

Yu Wenhao could tell the fool learned this gesture and saying from the catcher leader. He stared at the

catcher leader, who was lowering his head and didn’t dare say anything.

Yu Wenhao then turned to look at the fool. He tried to be gentle and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Shaer!” The fool showed a bright smile and looked at him in the eye.

Yu Wenhao nodded. He opened the volume to check and asked, “Do you know the family of Niu

Ziyang?”

Shaer nodded and draw a circle with his hands. He replied in vague tongue, “Yes. They are all dead.

Lots of blood.”

“What did you say on the day they died?” Yu Wenhao continued asking.

Shaer tilted his head to think and replied, “Yes. A person brought a long sword and headed to their

home. That person looked scary. I glanced at him and he stared at me.”

“Then did you follow him?” Yu Wenhao asked.

Shaer shook his head and remarked, “I dare not. His sword is so long.”

“How long?”

Shaer posted a gesture with his hands opening widely, almost stretching three metres long, saying,

“This long.”

The catcher leader got angry and scolded, “Nonsense. Where can he find such a long sword?”

“I am telling the truth.” Shaer got angry and explained. He spitted in excitement, saying, “It’s a long

sword. Except for me, Doggy also saw it.”

Yu Wenhao blinked his eyes and asked, “Who is Doggy? Where is he?”

“He is the dog in Li Fugui’s house.” Shaer responded.

Yu Wenhao smacked his lips and murmured, “Well, it’s a dog…”

“But the dog saw it. It was a very, very long sword and the dog chased after him.” Shaer showed with

his fingers again.

“What else did you see? Did you see him away?” Fucheng asked.

Shaer shook his head and replied, “No. I just saw a slash of shadow suddenly disappeared.”

Fucheng got disappointed. He looked at Yu Wenhao and remarked, “Lord, it seems we can’t get any

useful information. The case happened in the late afternoon. Many people were busy with cooking and

there were nearly no one on the village road. Even the murderer came from another village, it was easy

for him to be not spotted by anyone.”

Yu Wenhao raised his hands and remarked, “You can keep him leave in the government office for a few

days. Take him have a shower and give him a set of new clothes.”

Shaer was the only witness now. Although they couldn’t get any useful information from him now, with

proper instruction, maybe he would suddenly remind of something.

Shaer told them Doggy chased after the murderer. How good would it be if Doggy was a real person.

It was already late afternoon when Yu Wenhao returned to prince Chu’s residence.

The sky just turned black with breezes passing by.

The autumn just began and it was still hot during the day time. However, when the night came, it would

get a bit cold.

Yu Wenhao didn’t want to bother Yuan Qingling because of the business staff. Hence, when Yu

Qingling asked him how was everything going on, he told a white lie and said they already found some

clues.

Yuan Qingling could tell he was pretending to be light-hearted with seeing his tight frown. Things must

be uneasy with such creepy cases happened one after another.

Imperial court would be held in the next morning. Therefore, Yu Wenhao decided to go to bed early.

He leaned to Yuan Qingling’s side and embraced her in his arms when still thinking about the cases.

He could be certain that the cases would be mentioned in tomorrow’s court.
