Da Li Temple - Chapter 10.2

Chapter 10.2
Clues

??
The room fell silent.
??
Lin Wanqing stood in place for a long time, trying to calm down. Her vision becomes clearer under the moonlight. At this moment, she heard a loud noise but was unsure who was the one who got hit. Probably, that official Su Moyi was unarmed and did not wear any clothes, so he was inconvenient to act and got a disadvantage. She felt a chill in her heart, and not caring about anything, she slapped her palm toward the black shadow standing. The black shadow reacted fast enough and dodged sideways like a slippery fish.
??
Lin Wanqing had learned some simple punches and kicks from her father when she was young. At that moment, she solitarily relied on courage and made another move toward the black shadow. This time, she struck towards his arm. The man raised his hand and swung it, backhanded her, and tied her down, and with a twist of the hand, her whole body came under him. But he didn’t intend to release her. Instead, he grabbed her and froze for a moment.
??
Lin Wanqing seized the opening and aimed a fierce kick between his legs! He was startled for a split second and leaped forward to avoid it. He flung her body into the air like a puppet and fixed her in front of him again. But the ground was too slippery, and he did not stand firmly and sat down. He wrapped Lin Wanqing towards his chest, clamped his legs around her, and then, using his waist and abdomen, he held her and fell.
??
Sure enough, he was a well-trained assassin!
??
Lin Wanqing knew she wasn’t his match, and now she only wanted to get out quickly. When the assassin had clamped down on her and couldn’t move, she threw a punch at his waist.
??
However, he completely outmatched her. Before that punch touched his abdomen, it was instantly cleaved away by his palm.
??
Lin Wanqing’s hand went soft, and her fist became a caress, landing a few inches lower than the destination.
??
Lin Wanqing: “……”

Both people froze.
??
Lin Wanqing’s head was resting on his chest before she was shocked to realize that this person’s figure was taller than her. So, naturally, he was also taller than the black shadow she saw just now.
??
And that thing in her hand —
Isn’t it what she just saw? An object that she doesn’t have —
She gulped. Is this possible? Su Moyi’s entire body didn’t look meaty, so why was that object so big?
?
Lin Wanqing’s pupils trembled tremendously, and she forgot to remove her hand.
??
“Lord!” Rustling footsteps sounded in their ears. Then, the dark room became bright.
??
Ye Qing arrived with a group of guards just in time to see the naked Su Moyi holding the soaked Lin Wanqing, lying by the side of a messy bathtub —
??
And Lin Wanqing’s hand — was on a part of him that was difficult to describe —
??
Ye Qing felt that the world was suddenly collapsing. That’s right. His master had always been calm and self-possessed, not minding other’s business. However, he had made exceptions for this Lin Recorder – stalking, delivering medicine, and placing her on his side, coupled with the fact his master was aged and had not yet taken a wife —
??
Yes, it must be so.
??
“There are …… assassins ……” Lin Wanqing stiffened, her tongue knotted as she tried to explain.
??
The people present didn’t seem to understand and remained frozen.
??
Ye Qing then turned around, blocking Su Moyi and Lin Wanqing, and commanded solemnly, “Go find the assassin! Don’t freeze here!”
??
Only then did the crowd read his hint. They dispersed sensibly and pretended to look for the assassins, walking away.
??
“Ai ……” Ye Qing sighed with some sadness, passed Su Moyi an ‘although I’m shocked, I still choose to understand’ look, and walked away with a heavy heart. He didn’t forget to bring the broken bathroom door with him.
??
“Still not getting up?”
??
“Get up!” Lin Wanqing withdrew her burning hands quickly.
??
Su Moyi slowly got up and calmly straightened his robes before turning to Lin Wanqing, “How do you know that he is Wang Hu’s murderer?”
??
At this moment, Lin Wanqing’s eyes and mind were still stuck in that unreasonable thing of his, making her speechless.
??
Su Moyi felt chilled by her look. He had only worn a soaked and thin white robe. That robe was so wet and clung against his body. It couldn’t fully cover his pectoral muscles, abdominal muscles, the lines of his arms, and something under his belly.

“Coughing ……” He put a fist against his lips and coughed dryly twice, sidestepping to fetch another thicker outer robe.
??
Lin Wanqing noticed his discomfort and realized that she was out of line. All men, there’s nothing to make a fuss over staring. She cleared her throat and pretended to be calm, “I met him once outside the capital’s prison.”
??
“You’ve seen him?” Su Moyi asked.
??
Lin Wanqing shook her head, “I’ve heard of him.”
??
Su Moyi was stunned, waiting for Lin Wanqing to explain.
??
“That assassin’s body has a unique smell. I can smell it. Moreover,……,” Lin Wanqing added. “When I followed him, I found his lightweight skill was familiar, but I can’t say exactly.”
??
“Well,” Su Mayi casually pursued, “What else do you have to add about the Wang Hu case?”
??
Lin Wanqing had suffered a loss once. This time, with more heart, she asked, “Then, if I manage one more case, will the Lord give me a reward?” After saying this, she threw Su Moyi an expectant look.
??
“The rape and murder case is yours. The Wang Hu case is mine. There is no reward.”
??
Lin Wanqing: “……” Why is this person’s trick so justified?
??
“Then I have nothing to say ……” Lin Wanqing deflated.
??
In that case, she had to keep the clue of that lame maidservant. One day, when she was in a good mood, she would tell him.
??
Seeing her like this, Su Moyi, for some reason, birthed a funny thought and said carelessly, “Then I will sell you a personal favor first and provide you with a clue to the rape and murder case.”
??
Lin Wanqing choked. Wasn’t the rape and murder case are Da Li Temple’s case? Why was it called selling her a favor?
??
This dog official is really —
??
Unfortunately, instinct drove her to nod despite her complaining.
??
“According to your analysis of the murderer’s character, eight out of ten cases will be committed by an acquaintance. One common thing that the three victims have is that before they became the concubines of dignitaries, they were all former top girls of Ping Kang Hall in Sheng City.”
??
His long, slender fingers tied his loose outer robe and casually said, “Go with me tomorrow to look.”
????????
??
Lin Wanqing: So angry! But I can’t refuse.
Ye Qing: I can’t imagine that Lord Su is like this.
