When the criminal department official called in the subordinate in charge of the record, and transcribed and replaced the page of paper with my own account of my conversation with Chun'er in front of me, I knew that I had won again.

But I didn't have the slightest joy as a winner, but I had a weak heart and fear for the rest of my life. I don't know how many times I can use this kind of good fortune in the face of more and more and bigger big bets. I just feel that I don't know when it started, and every step is extremely dangerous.

People can't lie, and once they lie, they need to make up for it with a hundred lies, so the lies become a net, and eventually they will be cocooned and trapped to death. But no one can do a lifetime without lying, whether it is for themselves or for the people around them, so the sincerity and trust between people will be even more valuable.

When I candidly told about my relationship with Yinyu, the progress of the interrogation came to an end. In my mind, there was nothing to hide except that this was taboo in relation to my original identity.

I returned to my own courtyard, Wanqing, Yunhui and Ziyuan, as well as Qian and the people around her, had already returned to the courtyard, and it seemed that they had been with everyone until the end, and they had been sure that they could be ruled out of suspicion, so they were not subjected to much trouble.

I asked them what they were asking, and they all said the same thing, nothing more than what I usually did, who I was with, what was my relationship with Degege, what was my relationship with Degege, what I did that night...... Questions like this can be roughly the same as what I said, except for the part where I left the crowd and wandered around alone with Xiao Shunzi, they didn't know, and the others could be eight or nine points.

Seeing that they hadn't received any torture to extract confessions, their hearts were also a lot more settled, but they searched for Xiao Shunzi's figure, but there was no trace, and they asked urgently for no reason: "Why hasn't Xiao Shunzi returned yet?"

Everyone looked at each other blankly, and they all shook their heads and said that because they were scattered and interrogated, they didn't know where Xiao Shunzi was led, and they didn't know why he hadn't come back yet. Qian asked, "Could it be that you went to the fourth master in the front yard after asking?"

Qian didn't know that Xiao Shunzi was the person at the sticky pole under Yinzhen, but I didn't hide that Xiao Shunzi was sent by Yinzhen to protect me, and I also told her that Xiao Shunzi would go to the front yard every day to report the situation of the day.

Xiao Shunzi was taken away with me and everyone in the yard, maybe it is not impossible to go to the front yard after being interrogated first and seeing that we haven't come out yet, but I think that with Xiao Shunzi's understanding, he should not go to the front yard to return to his life before he knows my situation and the result of the inquiry. Because in addition to himself worrying about me, he also needs to deal with what to do when he is asked by Yinzhen. Therefore, Qian's speculation was immediately denied by me.

I don't know why, but I always feel that the calm is a precursor to the storm. It's not that I'm all in the woods, it's an inexplicable intuition that is often very clear and sensitive before something big happens to me.

After repatriating everyone and leaving me alone in the house, I combed through my thoughts from beginning to end, and I didn't find anything wrong, but I always felt that something was wrong. "Wanqing, go out immediately and ask Chun'er what errand she was assigned to later, and where she is in the deacon!" A thought flashed through my mind like lightning, and I felt a numb scalp, and urged Wanqing.

Wanqing didn't know why I suddenly remembered this, and I wanted to ask, but seeing that I looked strange, I had to hurry out of the house and go out first.

After four or five teas, Wanqing came back and said, "The steward said that Chun'er is serving Lao Gege at the moment." “

When I heard that it was on Lao Gege's side, I was a little more relieved. Chun'er appeared at a strange time, and I was worried that she was deliberately dragging me back at that time.

I laughed at myself for being a big talker, and Chun'er and I were childhood playmates and good friends who didn't talk about anything. Although I haven't seen it for a year, it won't become so sinister in my heart. What's more, she has nothing to do with the Li family, so how could she help her murder me.

Thinking of this, my heart felt a little guilty about Shicai's suspicion of Chun'er.

Early the next morning, Xiao Shunzi still didn't come back, and I suddenly panicked. I don't know when it began.,Xiao Shunzi seems to have become the object of my most trust and reliance.,Although he's just an internal servant.,But he's always faithfully guarded me.,As long as he's around.,I feel extra down-to-earth and reassured.,I like to discuss everything with him.。 But suddenly there was such a person missing, and I suddenly felt a kind of uneasiness and anxiety that I had lost my backbone. "Find someone to inquire and see where Xiao Shunzi has gone, and whether she came out yesterday......" I eagerly explained to Wanqing.

Wanqing was obviously worried, so she arranged for Yunhui to wait for me and go out to the yard to inquire about the news.

As time passed, the premonition in my heart that something bad was going to happen became more and more certain. I don't know how long it took, I saw Wanqing stumbling in with tears in her eyes, and before she could open her mouth, she knelt down in front of me and said: "Gege, hurry up and save Xiao Shunzi, someone in the house secretly told me that Xiao Shunzi was tortured and has been beaten for a day and a night, but he refused to say anything, and now I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on." “

There was a thunderclap in my ears, and I didn't care about any rules and etiquette, so I suddenly got up and grabbed Wanqing's arm, shook her and asked, "You tell me clearly, what does this have to do with him, why do you want to punish him?"

Wanqing shook her head desperately while crying, and said silently: "I don't know the specific slave, but I heard a fellow villager of the deacon in the torture room secretly told that Xiao Shunzi was asked two words yesterday, and someone said two words to the person in charge of interrogating him, and then he heard that something was found in his room, and then he was locked up." Because my fellow villager is only a person in charge of cleaning, I can't stay for long, and I vaguely heard the person who asked him to ask who instructed Xiao Shunzi, and also asked where the people around Degege went......"

What was found in Xiao Shunzi's room? It must be something related to this case. But how could there be anything related to this case in Xiao Shunzi's room? Was someone planting it? Or ......

My mind was in turmoil, and I just thought that there were countless possibilities that were swirling and intertwining. But he didn't believe that Xiao Shunzi was the murderer of Degege.

What to do?—— I asked myself, what should I do without knowing anything!

At this moment, I suddenly thought of the official of the Criminal Department who had asked me for questioning today. I'm sure he's a member of the Eight Masters, and if I can get him to help me, I'll definitely get the exact news.

I glanced at Yunhui, suddenly calmed down, and quickly went to the desk to write a letter to the family, literally to say to my parents, although there was an accident in the house, but everything is fine with me, and there is no involvement for the time being, please take care of themselves with peace of mind, I believe that the fourth master will thoroughly investigate this matter, and wait for the calm and calm water to come out.

This letter was written in accordance with the word splitting method used when I and Yinyu passed the message in the past, in this way, others did not know, and Yinyu knew at a glance that it was the news I transmitted. It's just that the purple jade pendant is missing, and how to get the news out of the house has become a problem.

Wrapped the family letter, got up and handed the handkerchief embroidered with iris in his hand to Yun Hui, and said to her: "Help me send this family letter out first." ”

Yun Hui was the first person to be arranged by Yinyu's side, and she had always been helping me run errands to deliver news to Yinyu before. Later, because of the intention to alienate Yinyu, such contacts became less and less, and I don't know if she can just use this handkerchief to help me send the news to Yinyu without a jade pendant.

Turning his head to look at Wanqing's anxious and puzzled eyes, he couldn't tell her clearly, so he had to say: "If Xiao Shunzi has an accident, I must also be suspected, so saving him needs to be considered in the long run, let me think of a way to stay alone." “

Wanqing understood that this was difficult, so she had to endure the worry in her heart and anxiously wipe away her tears, and lead the others out of the house. (To be continued.) )
