Regardless of whether my speculation was reliable or not, the officer was suspicious and asked his subordinates to carefully put away their cups. I'm not worried that they will destroy this evidence, after all, the Criminal Department is now under pressure from above, and more than anyone else wants to solve the case quickly. And this official, in addition to those pressures, also has the assignment from Yinyu. So he guessed he wished he could find more evidence in my favor.

Glad that we had made a new discovery, both of them and I swept away the previous tension and depression, and our emotions became much higher. Walk through the hall to the bed. The layout of the house is similar to that of my room, but with some Mongolian decorations.

"Where did you find my jade pendant?" I asked the officer. "At the foot of that bed, you can see it two steps from here, and now I think about it, I am afraid that it was deliberately placed there. The officer gestured to the foot of the bed opposite.

I suppressed the resentment of Chun'er in my heart, and continued to rely on Chun'er's behavior and habits in the past to deduce the process of this jade pendant appearing here after it arrived in her hand.

I don't know what role Chun'er played in this matter, and I don't even dare to think about whether she was directly involved in this murder. In my impression, Chun'er has always been a girl who is a little timid and inferior because of family reasons, but at that time, she would still be full of little girl's longing and fantasy about life, and her mind was very simple. It's just two years, what has she experienced, and why has her personality become so extreme and distorted.

I have been affected by such emotions, and I have tried several times to concentrate. Chun'er met me at about halfway through the war, around half past seven o'clock in modern time, when it was just getting dark. After Chun'er and I finished talking, we only took about ten minutes to talk, and it should be less than eight o'clock. And Degege went back as soon as the family feast was over, that is, just after seven o'clock. That is to say, at about half past seven, Degege had already returned to his yard, and perhaps he had been fascinated and was experiencing terrible things.

Then, at eight o'clock, Dege should have died. Chun'er has a master, she serves Lao Gege, and it is impossible for her to stay with her master for too long, so she will not arrive at the scene at the first time of the crime. At that time, Lao Gege seemed to be still praying in the garden, and did not go back to his yard, and Lao Gege's garden was still some distance away from Degege's, so he didn't stop by at all. Therefore, it is impossible for Chun'er to meet the murderer by chance and frame me.

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that Chun'er knew that there would be this murder from the beginning, or that she was an important link in her existence to frame me at all. Then she showed me Yinyu's letter, that is, she wanted me to be unable to prove my innocence during this time. As for that piece of jade, it was completely my own stupid innocence that gave her a perfect piece of evidence to use to plant success. But if it weren't for this piece of jade, how would she plan to splash this basin of dirty water on me?

Lao Gege is very low-key, even since she entered the house, Yinzhen has never been to her, she has no reaction and complaints, and even at this family banquet, she has not seen her show any emotions, just silently finished eating, and then went to pray and make wishes as usual, doing her own thing as if no one was around. So did she notice Chun'er's abnormality, or did she also participate in this murder?

I suddenly felt that there were many mysteries in this matter that I could not solve. But one thing is certain, Chun'er must have been here after the crime, and then put the jade pendant in a conspicuous place, she must have participated in it.

"When you interrogated Lao Gege and Chun'er, did you find anything unusual, can you show me the transcript of the interrogation of these two people?" I asked the official.

The official thought for a while and said, "There is nothing unusual here in Lao Gege, she said that when the lantern festival is over, she feels very tired when she returns to the yard, so she just washes up and falls asleep, probably tired, and sleeps very well at night, until the maid comes in at dawn to call her." As for Chun'er, she said that she was on duty that night, and she had been staying in the old Gege house, and she had never gone out in the middle. These confessions can be shown to Gege when I go back later. ”

"How does old Gege sleep?" I asked after a moment's thought.

I didn't ask about this, but listening to the meaning of her words, it seemed that she was usually not very good, but she slept soundly that night. The subordinate who was in charge of making the transcript answered, and he was responsible for making the transcript, and he remembered it very clearly.

"In addition to Chun'er on duty that night, was there a waiter in the courtyard to take care of you?" I continued to ask.

When interrogating the waiter in Lao Gege's house, he said that Lao Gege was not favored, and the fourth master usually did not go to her, so he generally did not need to leave people in the yard at night. The subordinate continued.

"Oh, that is, no one has proven whether Chun'er went out after old Gege fell asleep?" I felt as if I had grasped some clue again, as if asking. He said something to himself.

"It's true that Chun'er went out at night, and no one can prove it, but when Old Gege slept at this time, Degege was already dead, and whether Chun'er went out or not didn't seem to have anything to do with this case......," the official said after a moment of silence.

"If it's okay, how did that jade pendant get here?" I asked with a cold smile.

"Gege is saying that Chun'er secretly came here after Lao Gege fell asleep and put the jade pendant here......" The official followed my prompt.

"Corpses are bound to swell when they soak in the water for a long time, but I don't think I've heard from you that there are signs of swelling in the body, which means that it doesn't take long for a corpse to be thrown into the inner lake and when it is found. It's July, and it's early in the morning, and the servants and servants are usually ugly. Because the masters will get up almost at the end of the day, and the chores such as cleaning the yard must be dealt with before the masters get up. In other words, the throwing of the body must be completed at this time of the sub-time, otherwise it is likely to be bumped into. As I spoke, I sat down on Degege's bed, my smile mysterious and strange in the dim light of the lantern.

"Gege means...... Chun'er came at this time when the murderer threw his body?" the official looked nervous, and his tone was obviously suppressed and tried to restrain fear.

"I don't know if she was directly involved in throwing the body, or if she waited for the murderer to take the body, but I wonder if you should check the incense burner in the old Gege house, if you haven't had time to dispose of it for so many days, maybe you can find something special. With a smile on his face, he stood up, feeling that he couldn't find any clues here, so he didn't want to stay in this place like a morgue full of death for a long time, and walked outside the house as he spoke.
