"Your subordinate also found a jade bracelet inside the bone ash jar. Sihan has already shown the jade bracelet to Liang Shibai to see if anything new has been discovered." Zhining reported to the Southern Ocean.

When Sihan returned to her room with the bracelet, ZhiNing had already returned to the Liang Household from the Southern Prefecture. At this moment, she was sitting on a stool, waiting for Sihan.

"Well, what did you find?" ZhiNing looked at Sihan and asked.

Sihan raised her eyes to look at Zhining, "No, Liang Shibai said that he has almost no knowledge of jade artifacts. On the contrary, Liang Yuqi has a deep understanding of jade artifacts." After pausing for a moment, she asked again, "What did you discover?"

"I just found out in the Southern Prefecture that three years ago, a girl jumped down from the second floor of Clear Heart Pavilion and fell to her death." ZhiNing lightly answered as she shouted.

Sihan looked at the jade bracelet in her hand and sighed deeply. "Could it be that I really need to go to the dungeon and have a look at this jade bracelet from Liang Yuqi?"

"It's not impossible!" We shouldn't let them go if we have a clue. " Zhining took over Sihan's words.

Sihan raised her head and looked helplessly at Zhining, "Don't tell me you still need to use that fake token?"

Zhining laughed, "Of course not, this time we have to walk into the cell openly."

"Open and honorable?" Sihan wondered, were they qualified to enter the cell openly?

The next day.

Zhining arrived at the gate of the Southern Prefecture early in the morning, but no matter how early she was, she had never been earlier than Sihan. Sihan wore a man's ordinary clothes as she stood at the entrance of the Southern Prefecture.

ZhiNing smiled as she walked in front of Sihan. "That early?"

"I can't sleep." Sihan indifferently replied to Zhining.

ZhiNing slightly sighed, "You should know that court officials will only leave early in the morning when it's very late."

Sihan smiled faintly at Zhining. "I know, but I came here when I couldn't sleep. What if the patrolman decided to attend the assembly earlier?" The mystery was about to unravel, and she couldn't fall asleep. She thought that Zhining couldn't fall asleep either, otherwise he wouldn't have come so early.

ZhiNing looked at Sihan, and the two of them smiled at each other, then stood at the doorway waiting for the morning assembly under the Southern Ocean.

"Miss Liang really understands me." Southern Sea walked out from the front gate of the Southern Prefecture and stood behind Sihan and Zhining.

He had long black hair draped over his shoulders, two handsome eyebrows, and a pair of clear eyes as deep as a deep pool. There was no faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but this Southern Sea had a certain charm about it, causing Zhining's heart to uncontrollably tremble slightly. She quickly concealed her great god.

"This commoner pays his respects to you, milord." Sihan cupped her hands and respectfully bowed to the Southern Ocean.

"Miss Liang, there is no need to be so reasonable. Since I am dressed in ordinary attire, it is because I do not want you to treat me as an official. I only hope that you can treat me as an ordinary person." Nanhai lightly said to Sihan.

Sihan smiled faintly and retracted her hands. "Alright, since sire said so, Sihan will no longer bow to sire in the future. Sihan has always regarded you as an ordinary person in her heart." What she hated the most was to bow to others whenever she wanted. It was rare for her to not need to bow to the Southern Sea, so she would not bow to the Southern Sea in the future when she could use this opportunity.

Nanhai agreed without even thinking, "Alright." "We'll do it that way." He also did not like complicated etiquette. It was better to be casual about it.

ZhiNing pursed her lips into a smile on the side, as she realized that Sihan really had a lot of devious ideas.

When Sihan saw ZhiNing's smile, she took a step forward and walked beside her, very naturally holding her by the arm. "I still need to ask Constable Chen to quickly testify."

Southern Ocean glanced at Zhining, "Alright, let's do it this way. I don't know you, but when I wear ordinary clothes in the future, even Chen Zhi need not be overly courteous to me."

Sihan raised her eyes and glanced at Zhining, her meaning clear. Don't you want to thank me?

ZhiNing deliberately turned her head away, ignoring the pleased look in Sihan's eyes.

Southern Sea shot a glance at Chen Jiaxue, who was standing behind him, and ordered, "Constable Chen, hurry up and stay in the Southern Prefecture. Afterwards, he took the lead and walked towards the direction of the prison.

Sihan and Zhining looked at each other, then followed behind Southern Sea side by side. Even though Southern Sea had already allowed them to not bow, they still could not walk alongside Southern Sea. They could only follow behind.

The three of them quickly arrived at the prison. The head of the prison and the soldiers guarding the entrance of the prison hurriedly made way for Southern Sea and walked into the prison.

The dungeon was still dark and damp, and a musty smell filled the room.

The Southern Ocean was at the forefront, rushing along the central part of the dungeon until they reached the last cell.

He only saw that there were still many prisoners in the last cell, but there weren't many wounds on Liang Yuqi's body. She sat at a corner and stared directly at the ground as if she was pondering about something. His face no longer had its usual frivolousness and disdain, it had an extra trace of calm and maturity.

When Sihan saw the change in Liang Yuqi, she couldn't help but smile in relief. It seemed that Liang Yuqi hadn't gone to jail for nothing.

With a cold expression on his face, Nanhai placed his hands behind his back and looked at Liang Yuqi who was sitting on the ground. He coldly called out, "Liang Yuqi."

Liang Yuqi suddenly raised her head and looked at the Southern Sea. Then, she stood up from the ground and walked to the prison door. She kneeled on the ground and bowed towards the Southern Sea with a respectful expression. "This commoner pays his respects to you, milord."

Nanhai lightly instructed, "Stand up."

"Thank you, milord." Liang Yuqi stood up from the ground. She raised her head and glanced at Zhining and Sihan who were standing behind Nanhai. When he saw them, a surprised look flashed across his face. He gave Sihan a deep look, as if he wanted to say something to her, but when he saw that Nanhai and Zhining were standing next to Sihan, he stopped himself.

When Sihan saw Liang Yuqi's reaction, she took a step forward and walked to the prison door. She looked at Liang Yuqi. "Did you think of something?"

Liang Yuqi glanced at Nanhai and Zhining, then lowered her head in silence.

Sihan smiled faintly at Liang Yuqi. "Speak whatever you think. Lord Inspector and Constable Chen are all on the same side as you, especially Lord Constable. Without his order and support, we wouldn't be able to turn the case over for you."

Liang Yuqi raised her head and looked at Nanhai in shock. It was as if she didn't believe that Nanhai would turn the case around for him.

"I believe that you are innocent, but there is no conclusive evidence, so I cannot acquit you, so you have to think carefully about what happened that night, see if there are any valuable clues, and only by finding conclusive evidence that you did not poison Cai Die, will you be able to leave the prison." Nanhai looked at Liang Yuqi with a face full of trust.

Liang Yuqi let out a deep breath as an unprecedented smile appeared on her face. She looked gratefully at Nanhai and said, "This humble one thanks sire for believing in me. This humble one will never forget sire's great kindness." To be able to meet such a good official as the Chief Patrol Officer was his previous life's cultivation.

Nanhai mockingly looked at Liang Yuqi, then looked towards Sihan and Zhining, "If you want to thank them, then thank Miss Liang and Constable Chen. They made me believe that you were innocent, otherwise, do you think that with your character, I would believe that you were innocent?"

Liang Yuqi's expression was a bit ugly as she raised her head to look at Southern Sea and then looked at Sihan with surprise. He did not expect Sihan to make the Chief Patrol Officer believe that he was innocent. Recalling all the things he had done to Sihan before, he guiltily lowered his head and looked at Sihan.
