Chapter 475
Noon.
"What? Dead?" Still in the superior room of Changxing Inn, Zhan Feiyu put down the book in her hand in surprise, "Silenced?"
"Committed suicide." Before returning to the inn, He Sheng went to the Yi Zhuang and secretly examined Hong Saozi's body.
After being locked up in the prison, Hong Saozi smashed the wooden board for binding and setting bones, picked up a small piece of broken wood, and slit her throat.
Zhan Feiyu pondered. Although it was suicide, it was no different from being silenced; both were for the purpose of keeping secrets.
Outside the guest room, He Nuan let the two guards at the door check her before carrying the food box in, "Miss, it's time for lunch."
After returning from the county yamen, Magistrate Zhu did not accept the lawsuit from the Huang family in court. However, Zhan Feiyu and her servant were suspected of murder, so he sent constables to guard the inn.
"The identities of Zhou Shi and these people are fake. Their accomplices have already left Liuxian, and it's not easy to investigate." Zhan Feiyu believed that if County Captain Cheng were arrested and interrogated under torture, some clues might be found.
However, County Captain Cheng was deeply trusted by Magistrate Zhu. Unless Zhan Feiyu produced the token of the Jin Long Wei, she could not arrest or interrogate a court official without evidence.
Placing several dishes on the table, He Nuan first served a bowl of soup and handed it over.
