Chapter 94 Second Person Witness
Li Shuci's words made Li Zheng feel cold from the bottom of his heart, his brain was buzzing, and he thought in his heart: What else is she going to do! That old thing is dying soon, and it is about to be completed, and he must not capsize in the gutter at this time, and the most important thing at the moment is to heal his leg, and his leg ...... He wants to get rid of his status as a concubine, those things that he has never had at his fingertips, and the monstrous power...... His hands unconsciously touched his legs, and Li Zheng's heart was like a pinprick in his heart......
Yuanshuang's matter, even if he really did it, was just a girl, he didn't believe that he couldn't turn the tables, but at this time, Li Shuci's expression was not moving, and his eyes looked at him like a demon.
"What else do you want!" Li Zheng almost roared. In fact, he knows Yuan Shuang's mind well, but he believes that even if he hates him, Yuan Shuang will still not reveal what they have done to others, which can be seen from the fact that she would rather choose to die together. But when he looked at Tao Shisan and the others, he was a little unsure. Yuanshuang found his biological parents, but hid them from him...... How could Yuan Shuang die in his room, and where were the other killers? In front of his eyes, Yuan Shuang's respectful and obedient lowered eyelashes, and then her resentful discouragement...... Countless fires were burning in Li Zheng's heart.
Li Shuci stared straight at Li Zheng, as if she was about to stab out a few blood holes, and she said loudly: "Bring people up." ”
Everyone looked to the door, and a forty-year-old lady was led indoors, and she looked at the people in the room and swept their eyes wildly, and then lowered her head, and her embarrassed hands did not know where to put them. Helian Tao didn't know that Li Shuci had such an arrangement, so he could only ask, "Who is in the hall?"
The woman was dressed in an indigo short muslin shirt, with a round bun neatly behind her head, and she simply spoke smoothly: "The ...... of the Zhao family, the people's woman"
Li Zheng's eyes were fixed on Zhao, thinking quickly in his mind, but he really couldn't remember if he had seen this woman. Li Shuci said in a calm and soft tone: "Are there any people you have seen here?"
Zhao raised his head cautiously and looked around the hall cautiously before replying, "The woman has not seen everyone present. ”
Li Zheng sneered, his eyes staring at Li Shuci's face like a poisonous snake.
Qingge unfolded a small portrait of a woman under the puzzled gaze of everyone, and asked, "What about this one?"
The portrait is a middle-aged woman, standing in front of a mansion with her back to her face and smiling, her appearance is upright, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and she looks very kind, Zhao only glanced at it and nodded: "The woman has seen this person......"
Helian Tao also took a closer look at the portrait, and saw that the position she was standing in front of the Li Mansion was in front of the Li Mansion, this gesture was obviously to leave a certain place, and the portrait was a souvenir, he asked: "Where is your home, who else is in the family, when and where have you seen this person, you come carefully." ”
The eyes of everyone in the room were focused on Zhao, which made her a little nervous, and said: "The folk woman lost her husband at an early age, and there is a son in the family, who runs an incense and candle shop in Shixiangfang in Dongcheng, and it happened to be Laba that day, so the folk woman remembers it very clearly." The person in the portrait is from the shop to buy incense and candles......"
Zhou's face turned pale when he heard the words incense and candle shop, but everyone in the room looked at Zhao, and no one except Li Shuci noticed it. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at everyone, and forced herself to suppress her own look, not letting the look on her face reveal her secret. Helian Tao asked: "Since it is the tenth day of the New Year, there should be a lot of people who buy incense and candles, even if it is Laba, why do you have such a clear memory of the woman on this portrait?"
Zhao shrank his hand and said, "At that time, I was with Dahu, Dahu is my son, and I was making red date paste for porridge. It also deliberately explained that the host has many rules, and it is necessary to specially add mixed spices into it, because there are many needs from such people, so the price and other matters will be negotiated quickly. When she saw that I was making jujube paste, she said that adding some bitter almonds would make Laba porridge less sweet...... So, I asked her to sit down ......."
The room was silent, everyone was holding their breath to listen to her, seeing that everyone did not say anything, she had to continue: "I had a very pleasant conversation with her, and wanted to invite her to come as a guest, but she shook her head and said that after this year, I will return to my hometown after the first month." I saw that she seemed to be looking forward to it, and her expression was full of light, knowing that she was going back to be reunited with her relatives, which is why she was so happy. Immediately, he cut a piece of red rope and tied a strand of hair to her......"
There is a custom of tying hair for people who travel, which means that the travel is auspicious and smooth, and the heart needs to be worried about relatives and friends from time to time, which means looking forward to seeing each other again.
Li Yu frowned deeply, coughed lightly, Zhao suddenly stopped talking, his cheeks were slightly stained with a layer of red, Li Zheng and Zhou glanced at each other, and heard Li Shuci say: "This woman's original name is Lin Hui, and in the Li Mansion, her name is Min Hui." It's the nurse of the eldest brother. ”
Li Shuci held the portrait in front of Li Zheng, but Li Zheng did not deny it, because Minhui had been in the mansion for many years, and many people recognized him, and he said: "So what? It's just to buy some incense and candles." The fifth sister is inevitably chasing the wind. ”
"Yes, things in the house have their own distribution, and the incense and candles should not have anything to do with anyone in the big house. ”
"Hmph, she's old, I think she has taken care of me for many years, and gave her money to go back to her hometown to live in her old age, those incense and candles may be brought back to her hometown, and this is her private matter, even if it is my nursing mother, I may not ask about everything. Li Zheng's brows furrowed, and his heart was troubled.
"Then the eldest brother told me, why did Lin Hui go to Dongcheng to buy incense and candles, and where did the precious spices in his hands come from. ”
Maybe she secretly took the spices in the house, and in order not to be discovered by others, she deliberately went to the farther Dongcheng to make incense candles. Li Zheng said disdainfully. "I didn't expect her to be by my side for so many years, and she was actually a person with unclean hands and feet. ”
"So does the eldest brother know where she is now?" Li Shuci said without paying attention to his expression.
Li Zheng said: "Naturally, he has already left. ”
"Is she really going back to her hometown?" Li Shuci motioned to Qingge to pick up the portrait and pass it to everyone in the house to see, everyone looked at it one by one, and when he arrived at Liu Hua, he pinched this thin piece of paper with both hands, his eyes widened, and he was stunned. Helian Tao saw that his face was different, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Hua said in a surprised voice: "My lord, this person ...... I've seen ......."
Helian Tao had a bad premonition that most of the people Liu Hua had seen were dead people......
Sure enough, Liu Hua said: "Some time ago, because of the snow disaster, a lot of displaced people gathered in the city, although they were rescued later, but there were not a few who died halfway, this ...... It is also among the homeless, because it is winter, the body is frozen and very stiff, so the appearance is well preserved...... At that time, ......" Liu Hua glanced at Helian Tao with some embarrassment, "At that time, I just thought that although this woman was not young, she could still see a little charm, and she must have been very good-looking when she was young." So I took a few more looks......"
Helian Tao couldn't help but roll his eyes, it was a dead man...... Liu Hua can still associate so much with a dead person, it's really strange...... Moreover, he finally understood why Li Shuci must have brought Liu Hua with him, "Where is the body now?"
She mingled among the homeless people and stayed in Yizhuang for a few days, but these people were nameless and could not be identified, so she dealt with them with the homeless people. ”
Hearing that Lin Hui was dead, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief for no reason and looked at Li Shuci, "Ah Ci, what do you mean by this?"
Li Shuci's face is still so calm, like a clay puppet who has lost his joy and anger, and has lost his seven emotions and six desires. Qingge looked at the side and sighed slightly, since the old lady was poisoned and unconscious, she has always been like this, still arranging everything in an orderly manner, as if nothing had happened, Qingge couldn't wait to beg her to cry.
She said slowly, "Grandmother is still in a coma. I was uneasy, so I naturally wanted to find out the truth, first, to prove my mother's innocence, and second, to find out the truth and catch the murderer. Didn't my grandfather want justice for my grandmother?"
"This matter is just a coincidence, why waste everyone's time here?" Li Yu took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his tone.
"My grandmother was poisoned by cinnabar mixed with the incense candles, and the eldest brother's nurse happened to avoid her ears and eyes before this, and went to the remote Dongcheng alone to make incense and candles, and on the way back to her hometown, she mingled with the homeless people and died. Isn't there a connection between all this? Lin Hui has been in the Li Mansion for many years, and the money on her body is naturally enough for her to rent a carriage to travel, so how can she easily blend in with the homeless people? Do you know that Lin Hui was not killed and killed? Moreover, there are not so many coincidences in this world. After that, she no longer paid attention to Li Yu's impatience, looked at Zhao, and asked, "Is there any remaining spice she asked you to add to the incense candle?"
Zhao said: "At that time, when making incense candles, because the big tiger accidentally spilled some, after it was dirty, it was naturally impossible to make incense candles for nobles, so it was wrapped in paper alone...... Because these spices are very valuable, I thought that she would talk to her when she came to fetch the incense candles...... Who knows, the person who came to get the incense and candles was not her......"
Zhao had obviously been instructed before, and carried the small paper bag with him, and the yellow kraft paper was opened, and the amount in it was not much, but it barely filled Zhao's palm. Li Shuci asked, "So, who is the person who went to get the incense and candles?"
