Chapter 385: The Murderer Emerges

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Song Miqiu couldn't bear to see Tian Yumei crying like this.

"I've told you everything, so don't be sad."

After finishing his story, Song Miqiu recounted the entire incident, including how he discovered Liu Xiaoyue's body and buried it.

What I fear is that Tian Yumei believes Qiu Tianlei is a murderer.

“Daughter-in-law, this matter was not done by Tianlei, and it has nothing to do with Tianlei. We are already investigating the murderer and will have results soon.”

Despite Song Miqiu's words, Tian Yumei couldn't rest easy knowing that Qiu Tianlei was currently imprisoned.

"Mother, I understand. You can go out now. I want to be alone."

Hearing her daughter-in-law say this startled Song Miqiu, who was afraid that her daughter-in-law might be thinking of doing something drastic on her own.

"Daughter-in-law, you must trust your mother. Don't do anything foolish."

Tian Yumei looked at her baby, who was just over a month old, in her arms, and gazed at Song Miqiu through teary eyes.

"Don't worry, Mother. I won't be that stupid. Even if Qiu Tianlei never gets out, I will live on strongly."

Song Miqiu felt extremely distressed. Without saying a word, she walked out of the room, closed the door, and left Tian Yumei alone to have some peace and quiet.

Fortunately, news came from the secret guards that afternoon.

In Yu Huailin's study, the guards reported to the two men.

"Reporting to my master, the suspicious person has been found."

Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin held their breath, eager to see who was really making things so complicated.

"who is it?"

The guard raised his head and slowly uttered a name that neither of them could believe.

"It was the coachman who took you there that day."

As soon as he spoke, Song Miqiu glanced at Yu Huailin.

"No wonder, it was right next to us, and we didn't even suspect it."

Yu Huailin also underestimated this assassin.

“That makes sense. The timing also matches up. He witnessed the entire process of burying the body and knows it very well.”

However, the two quickly realized something was wrong, and Song Miqiu looked at Yu Huailin and said.

"But we don't know the coachman, so why does he hate us so much?"

Yu Huailin had seen through everything long ago.

"He must have been instructed by someone, taking money to do something wrong."

After he finished speaking, Yu Huailin's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Oh no, since the groom knows where we buried the body, could he have already dug it up?"

Song Miqiu frowned.

"I don't think so. Wouldn't doing that be like playing with fire?"

Yu Huailin nodded in agreement with Song Miqiu's statement.

"It seems that the only way to find out the truth of the matter is to find the coachman on the spot and ask him."

He then asked the guards.

"The groom is there now; are our men guarding him?"

The fact that the secret guards were efficient was something they had already anticipated.

“Reporting to our master, we have already asked, but the coachman simply won’t admit it.”

Yu Huailin did not blame the guards; the groom must have been prepared for this since he dared to do so.

"Good job. If you can't get anything out of him, then let me go and have a good talk with him."

The guards immediately made way for Yu Huailin.

Seeing this, Song Miqiu also wanted to get involved.

“I’ll go with them.”

"it is good."

Yu Huailin agreed without hesitation, having long been accustomed to having Song Miqiu by his side in everything he did.

Led by the guards, the two quickly arrived at the groom's house.

However, Yu Huailin immediately noticed something was amiss.

"Stop, I'll go first, you guys follow behind me."

Logically speaking, even if the groom's house was guarded by secret guards, it shouldn't be this quiet.

Yu Huailin, who was already on guard, walked ahead and gently pushed open the door.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, they saw the bodyguard lying on the ground, unconscious for quite some time.

Yu Huailin quickly walked in and then saw the guards lying haphazardly in the courtyard.

He crouched down and checked the guards' breathing; thankfully, they were all safe and sound.

Just as Yu Huailin relaxed his guard, Song Miqiu shouted from behind.

"broken."

He then rushed inside.

Yu Huailin followed closely behind Song Miqiu and went inside.

The pungent smell of blood immediately filled my nostrils as soon as I entered the room.

Song Miqiu instinctively covered her nose.

Seeing the tightly closed door on the other side of the room, Yu Huailin shielded Song Miqiu behind him.

He gestured to Song Miqiu with his eyes to look behind him, as the enemy might be inside the room.

With a sliver of light, Song Miqiu, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted the groom lying on the ground.

"We're still too late."

Yu Huailin opened the door after hearing Song Miqiu's voice.

The groom and his family of three were already dead, and a large patch of blood mingled on the ground.

Song Miqiu turned her face away, "These people are simply too ruthless."

Yu Huailin stepped forward and examined the coachman's clothes, hoping to find some clues.

Clearly, the murderer was prepared, and Yu Huailin discovered nothing.

Disappointed, the two left the room. By then, the guards in the courtyard had already woken up.

They all knelt on the ground, awaiting Yu Huailin's punishment.

"Master, we were careless."

Yu Huailin gestured for them to stand up, "Our enemy came prepared this time, so it's not your fault."

However, Song Miqiu couldn't understand one thing, so he asked about it.

"The murderer hated the stable boy's family and was a killer, so why were the guards unharmed?"

The two were caught in a mystery.

Yu Huailin's mind was in turmoil. Now that the clues had gone cold again, what should he do with Qiu Tianlei, who was still in prison?

After a simple burial of the groom's family, Yu Huailin returned to his study and locked himself away to think of a solution.

Song Miqiu went to her room and cooked something to take to Tian Yumei.

Since Tian Yumei learned about this yesterday, she hasn't eaten a single bite of food. No matter how the servants tried to persuade her, she wouldn't eat, so she finally told Song Miqiu.

"Dong dong dong."

Song Miqiu looked through the door and into the room for a long time, but there was no response.

Ignoring all that, Song Miqiu opened the door and went inside.

"Silly child, you can't go without eating. Tianlei will be home soon. Your body is your own responsibility."

Tian Yumei remained silent, staring blankly at the child in her arms.

Left with no other option, Song Miqiu took out a life-saving pill from the system and gave it to Tian Yumei again.

This will at least preserve Tian Yumei's energy and spirit for the next few days; we'll have to figure out the rest later.

Soon it was time to open court and hear Qiu Tianlei's case of murdering Liu Xiaoyue.

Early that morning, Song Miqiu settled everyone in his household and followed Yu Huailin to the courtroom.

A few days later, when Song Miqiu saw Qiu Tianlei again, she quietly wiped away her tears as she looked at his thin back.

She secretly vowed in her heart that no matter what the outcome was today, she would definitely rescue her son.

Liu's mother was already standing in the courtroom, and had even invited a lawyer.

The official slammed his hand on the chopping board and loudly questioned Qiu Tianlei.

"Do you know your crime?"

Qiu Tianlei repeatedly defended himself.

However, the lawyer refuted each of these arguments, making Yu Huailin and his companion anxious and restless.
