Chapter 273 - 172: It’s Been a Long Time Since I’ve Received Corpse Energy_2
Ran Yan lazily glanced at him and moved her lips, not answering but counterasking, "Are you giving me the hairpin as a token of our love?"
Ge Lan and Wan Lu had just experienced the shock of "Receiving Corpse Energy," their souls not yet settled, when Ran Yan fiercely struck again.
With such a direct question right out of the gate, Xiao Song was also a bit stupefied, stupefying for a moment before saying, "It was just a gift I wanted to give."
Ran Yan refused the cloud hairpin, so Xiao Song knew she was not yet at the point of confirming their love, and naturally, he would not bash his head against the wall.
"Hmm, I think so too, but it’s better to ask clearly, to avoid any confusion later on," Ran Yan said slowly.
Xiao Song lifted his robe and sat sulkily in front of the couch, "Must you make things so clear? It ruins the mood."
Seeing his sulky demeanor, Ran Yan immediately felt much more spirited and eagerly asked about the case, "Was Zhuang Yin caught? Is the case solved?"
Xiao Song sighed helplessly in his heart and followed her line of thought, "Yes. I set a trap, originally just to verify if Ze Pingzhi, the innkeeper of Yue Lai Inn, had a motive for murder, but I didn’t expect an unexpected gain. Also, a piece of paper was found in the beggar Liu Wen’s room."
Xiao Song spread out the paper in front of Ran Yan, on it a few blurred characters: You all deserve to die.
"We also found a portrait of a woman in his room, which upon identification, is of an embroiderer named Luo Ling." Xiao Song folded the paper, wrapped it in white folded cloth, and stuffed it back into his sleeve pocket. This was important evidence.
