Chapter 1053 Dirty Things
Sang You stood there stiffly.
After about 15 minutes, Xie Pinggang finished examining the body and wiped his hands on his clothes. Seeing that, Sang You could not bear it any longer, so he quickly walked forward. He handed a green handkerchief to Xie Pinggang. “Young Master Xie, please take
it.”
Xie Pinggang turned his head to look at him.
Then, he looked at the handkerchief.
“No need. I’ll just wipe on my clothes.” Xie Pinggang was very straightforward.
Look at that handkerchief. Tsk, tsk, tsk. It really looked like it was used by a woman. Not only was it clean, it was also embroidered with flowers?
Xie Pinggang glanced at it and almost threw this woman into the lake. Fortunately, he knew that the Crown Prince was here, so he was too embarrassed to do that.
“Use this handkerchief.” Sang You gritted his teeth.
There was nothing wrong with the corpse checked by the people of the criminal division. The corpse was human and had just died. There was no smell or rot, so there was nothing wrong with it.
However, the corpse was drowned, and there was a lot of sand in its mouth. Xie Pinggang reached out and dug for a while. Besides the sand, he also saw that he took out some… strange mucus…
How could he… just wipe it on his clothes?!
Xie Pinggang really wanted to shout. “I don’t want to use it. This is none of your business…”
However, on second thought, he was His Highness’ brother-in-law, so he did not want to embarrass His Highness in front of others. Therefore, he patiently took the handkerchief and said, “Okay.”
He pinched the handkerchief, looked at it, and rubbed it in his hand. After a short while, the initially flat and fragrant handkerchief instantly turned into a dirty thing.
“Thank you.” After Xie Pinggang wiped it, he did not forget to thank him. He directly stuffed the handkerchief into Sang You’s hand and asked, “Brother, what’s your name? Are you His Highness’… junior brother?”
The only people who could stand with His Highness today were probably people from the same sect.
Sang You’s face instantly turned pale.
The handkerchief hung on his chest just like that. He let go of it and held it tightly. He only felt countless dirt rolling and wreaking havoc in front of him, which gave him goosebumps.
However, the rules of the world prevented him from throwing the thing away.
It was Jiang Jinlu who could not stand it and took the handkerchief over. Only then did he regain his normal breathing.
Sang You really could not smile at this moment. He looked at Xie Pinggang as if he had seen the most difficult mountain to cross in his life. He had the urge to never see this person again.
“Your Highness, he drowned. The lake is cold today, and his clothes are thick and heavy. He did not float up immediately.” Xie Pinggang had been working in the criminal division for a long time, so he had the ability to identify the cause of death. “I just don’t know why he went to the lake and how he fell. Fortunately, there are many people today, so there might be someone who saw him.”
“Although there are many people today, everyone’s eyes are focused on the pavilion. This place… is not particularly eye-catching,” Jiang Jinlu could not help but say.
Xie Pinggang observed it in private and found that it was indeed so.
It was quiet here, but the scenery was not the best.
He was not a scholar, so he did not know what special things were in the pavilion that would cause so many people to swarm over. However, since the Crown Prince was there, there was no need to mention the others.
“I’ll get someone to check his identity,” Xie Pinggang said.
In reality, there was no need to check.
After such a big incident, the person who knew the deceased was standing in the crowd, and she was especially eye-catching.
It was a young lady.
The young lady was very pretty and cute, but at this moment, her eyes were red and swollen, and her body was trembling. She looked like she was on the verge of collapse. Xie Qiao had painted her before, and when she was painting, she had never thought that the young lady would have to face such a heartbreaking scene.
