Chapter 184: Marry You
The cuffs covered it quickly, and it quickly covered his right hand well.
"Ugh.!" In a blink of an eye, Li Hengtong went back to the question Qin Mo asked her before, in fact, Qin Mo asked her a lot of questions, but she herself made all kinds of wrong words, full of loopholes, Qin Mo had an idea and did not send it
In the end, only a teenager can tell this big lie, but where can the nervousness and the lack of thought make this panic go to...
The old lady of the Zhu family because this is his own niece, of course, he excluded his niece from the heart, once a person believes in a person from the heart, that person really has to do his own harm, then in the face of lies and no obvious flaws, they also choose to believe, even, some people subconsciously know that this is not true, full of loopholes, but they are unwilling to accept that hurt, that is the state of self-deception.
Otherwise, when this incident happened today, Xiangxiang was only a nine-year-old child, and Miss Zhu Er was not younger than Xiangxiang, and there was a gap in height, and Xiangxiang was a little shorter.
How can such a gap be fatal in one move.
This Li Hengtong is a witness, at that time, only Xiangxiang and her were alone in this place, so she saw Xiangxiang killing, and the seemingly flawless statement actually had a lot of loopholes, Qin Mo's previous suspicions will not be repeated one by one, but it is just too inconsistent at this time.
Since it is going to appear to the point of murder, then the deceased must have contradictions and conflicts with the murderer before his death, from quarreling to doing, before and after, it is impossible not to alarm people, and a person's life is not a trivial matter.
Moreover, Qin Moxiang believed what he said.
She was staring at Xiangxiang not far away. There is really no need for Nian'er to lie.
Xiangxiang will never be impulsive to this step, Xiangxiang is essentially kind. Timid and small, she doesn't believe it, she only believes one thing, this Li Hengtong is lying.
Even if her aunt and uncle didn't doubt her, they really believed her words, but Qin Mo would never believe it.

After chatting with Li Jingtong, Qin Mo quietly withdrew from behind and poured into the circle of people surrounding the corpse.
The sun at the top is white and flowery, and the cicadas are screaming on the trees all the time, and the people are distraught...
The big brothers have been busy since the morning, and their uniforms are hot, and their heads are covered with sweat.
Drop by drop.
"Hey, how can this case be solved, Lord Zhizhou is not here, so he will leave the matter to us, and the murder weapon cannot be found-!"
In a moment, the hot and stuffy weather, the official was impatient, and after a few hours of busy work on the ground, he squatted up and tore his shirt, shaking the sweat on it.
"My lord, this murderer is here, killing people to pay for his life, what kind of murder weapon are you looking for, and what time is delayed-!"
This is Mrs. Zhu next to her, her daughter is gone, so she cried for a morning, and now she is crying, she just wants to solve the case quickly, punish the murderer, and give her daughter an explanation.
She has already determined that the murderer is Xiangxiang, but because of the tolerance, she hates it in her heart, but she can't resolve her personal hatred.
As soon as Mrs. Zhu said this, Qin Mo's heart tightened, she knew in her heart that Xiangxiang was not the murderer, and she was waiting to take a step forward to defend herself.
But at this moment, the official who was talking to him turned his head and squinted
"You said lightly, you think that without going through the Criminal Department, you will be convicted if you say you are convicted, and if you say you kill someone, you will kill people, but now the physical evidence is insufficient, and the reason for the killing is not clear, how do you tell us to write it on the closing statement, how to report it-!"
Without waiting for Qin Mo to speak, the official messenger first scolded Mrs. Zhu.
In the end, the people are afraid of officials, so Mrs. Zhu didn't mention it again, but just stomped her feet and said, "Then what should I do, is my daughter dying in vain?" β
"Of course not, the most important thing now is to find out how the incident happened, how it happened-!" The official explained
"Isn't the murderer here, will you judge-!" This Mrs. Zhu was angry, the murderer she was referring to was Xiangxiang, and she believed that it was Xiangxiang.
"Do you see that we didn't try it, but this little girl is crying and saying that she didn't kill anyone, you will try it for me, and if you are under the age of fifteen, the court has the grace of reducing the guilt-!"
"When will the murderer go around crying and shouting that I killed someone" As soon as she heard that the court had exempted young children from the responsibility for making mistakes, Mrs. Zhu shouted even more, "What, so I Cui'er died in vain!" β
"It's not for nothingβ!" was a little helpless to be entangled by this woman, and the official whispered. Unable to distinguish, for a moment, it felt more painful
"My lord, according to what the villain can see, this murder weapon should be in this pool-!" And most likely, stones
It's just that the last sentence didn't come out.
This official errand was even more overwhelmed by all kinds of trivial and trivial clues, but Qin Mo suddenly walked out and opened his mouth like this, which was to interrupt Mrs. Zhu's words.
"Of course I know that it may be in the pool" The official was disturbed by this case
"It's just that this pool is not big, it's not small, it's just that three or four of us went to the pool to fish, and all kinds of silt in the pool and the bottom of the water are gone, how to find it-!"
Qin Mo paused again
"It's hard to find this whole pool!" There have been two officials who have been looking for it for a long time, but there is no news: "Of course, the murderer knows the location of this murder weapon in the society-!" β
When Qin Mo said it, he deliberately looked at Li Hengtong, of course outsiders didn't know, only Qin Mo understood that this is called attacking the heart, using the other party's most nervous thing to use as a sharp weapon to stab the force, no matter how strong the heart is, people with weak hearts will be nervous, and people with hard hearts will be vigilant, and they will make a more meaningless gesture of epidemic prevention.
Sure enough, seeing Qin Mo going over and saying the word 'murder weapon' in his mouth, Li Hengtong's eyes suddenly had a kind of enlarged horror
"The official is right, the case itself is full of suspicions
The case itself is full of suspicions, human evidence, physical evidence, and the motive for the murder are all omissions, and Xiangxiang, the child, cannot be the murderer! β
"What, you said your sister isn't, is this to be whitewashed-!" As soon as she heard Qin Mo's words, Mrs. Zhu glared angrily, her eyes were round, full of hatred, and she brushed her sleeves again, "Then can you say who killed this person, Cui'er, she died miserably, did the wound on her forehead hit herself-!" β
At the mention of this, this Mrs. Zhu was even more furious.
Qin Mo didn't answer.
For a moment, it was a flick of the long sleeves.
Turn around, facing this wave of blue pool, in summer, the water surface ripples, and the wind blowing from the pool water gives people a burst of coolness.
"Since Miss Zhu Er is said to have been killed before and after the children's game, all the children in this house have little strength, whether it is an adult or a child, according to people's hearts, they generally kill people, where will it put the murder weapon? Naturally, it is a place where ordinary people can't find it, so throwing it into a pool is very likely.
In fact, the official also knew in his heart that it was obvious that the murderer was not deliberately murdered, and the murder weapon was very likely to be a stone, a stone, or a pebble in the water, and the stone was not small, it could be fatal in one move, and secondly, it showed that the murderer's strength was great, at least greater than the victim, and he could quickly lift the murder weapon and smash it on the victim's head, and the injured part also clearly confirmed a problem, that is, the murderer was taller than the victim's height! β
"You seem to know a lot!" Mrs. Zhu said lukewarmly beside her.
Qin Mo ignored it, but the official listened very seriously when he heard this, and only listened to Qin Mo after a while.
"The murder weapon has edges and corners, the victim was caused by the sharp edges and corners of the head wound, if we lock the murderer to the child, then the oldest in this group of children is only twelve years old, a twelve-year-old child, to throw a heavy crime tool can not be thrown very far, so the direction of the eldest brother is wrong, a child in his teens, holding a two or three kilograms of murder weapon in his hand, the path of the murder weapon is actually thrown out at most three feet, of course, the murderer wants to throw this thing as far as possible, so, As long as you follow the three feet or so in the pool, keep looking, and then you see something of the same size and angular edges, that's it! β
"That's right!" As soon as the eldest brother of the errand officer led by this heard Qin Mo finish speaking, he immediately slapped his palms happily, although this little girl is not very old, her head is still very sufficient.
It's just that after Qin Mo finished speaking, he looked at Li Hengtong again, and his face turned pale.
Listening to Qin Mo's words, the official immediately instructed the people around him, "You don't need to go to the middle of the pool, don't look around, just look for it in the place near the edge of the pool, especially next to the one who found the corpse!" β
Qin Mo crossed over and directly aimed at Li Hengtong.
"Miss Li, don't you admit it!" "Xiangxiang didn't kill Miss Zhu Er at all, you killed the person, my girl said that she had been watching my sister, Xiangxiang didn't kill anyone at all, only one of the two of you is lying, except for you, she is her, but, Xiangxiang and Miss Zhu Er are about the same age, and their strength and height are equal, how can she lift a stone to kill that Miss Zhu Er, if you didn't kill the person, why do you lie, why do you blame Xiangxiang-!"
Because of Qin Mo's voice, many people present pulled their eyes back and gathered on Li Hengtong's body.
"Me. No.! In a blink of an eye, I saw that this Li Hengtong's body trembled slightly, his face was in a trance and at a loss, and he shook his head with a mission, just a little girl, that snow-white face, Qin Mo was afraid that he would never forget it in this life.
"Nope. I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill people, I don't know what's going on, I don't know...! "Tung-!" At this moment, this Mrs. Zhu turned her head and found out how her niece had such a face. "Are you cold when the wind blows-!" Everyone only wondered about the face of this Miss Li family.
"The murder weapon has been found!" Not far away, in the pool, there was a sudden cry of joy that I don't know whose joy it was...
A stone larger than the mouth of the bowl was scooped up... There is moss on one side of the stone. There is a spike on the top.
The officer who fished it out put the stone into a depression in the grass.
Wiping the sweat from his face, "Yes, the murder weapon is this stone, and this stone was originally from this shore!" β
"It's just that this stone has been soaked in water for too long, and a lot of blood has washed it away!"
As soon as Li Hengtong saw the stone in the hand of the officer, his eyes widened, and at that moment, Qin Mo looked at her as if she was petrified.
Everyone couldn't figure out what they were doing, but Qin Mo smiled, with a calm face, and smiled at the Miss Li family, "Miss Li, the murder weapons have been found, do you still want to deny it-!" "Ahh This Li Jingtong screamed again: "It's not me." Not me.! β
Still shaking his head and waving his hand in denial, the person retreated vigorously, and even the corner of his lip bit blood.
"Dove tree. Dove tree.! β
This Mrs. Zhu family saw that Li Jingtong's face was abnormal, and she was very worried, so she stepped forward with a concerned face.
"Not me. Not me.! β
"Hey, don't do anything here, toss my niece again, your sister will pay for her life if she kills someone, and you still want to deny it and blame others for it.!"
This Mrs. Zhu was annoyed with displeasure because Qin Mo repeatedly persecuted that Li Hengtong.
And the people around him couldn't see Qin Mo is sigh, and then he shook his head slightly....
This is not to see the coffin without shedding tears.
Everyone didn't pay attention, their attention was only on Li Hengtong, and Qin Mo only shrank back quietly...
It's only been half an hour.
The last officer from the water with salvage tools came up...
None of them came to their senses, but they saw the officer shouting behind the crowd.
"A hairpin was also salvaged, and this is who fell it
This is the hairpin that fell into the pool water--! β
Everyone was surprised, and turned their heads to look back.
The officer looked down twice, and said, "This is small, like a little girl's-!" β
Seeing this hairpin, Li Hengtong's face really changed, and Qin Mo saw that her whole body seemed to be soft.
The grandmother next to Mrs. Zhu just looked at it, and said 'ah', and said in surprise before everyone could speak
"Didn't Miss Cousin come over this morning to take the lead-!"
"How so?!"
"It's Miss Cousin's, I paid attention to this this morning-!"
"How is that possible!" Qin Mo took over and said with a smile, "Didn't Miss Li say it before, I only saw these two young ladies once today, and the rest of the time I played with everyone in the courtyard of the east wing, and I didn't come here at all, how could her hairpin fall into this pool of water for no reason-!" β
Li Hengtong's whole body knelt down.
"Jue Tong, you tell me the truth, is it you or not!"
Seeing this hairpin, no matter how much she defends this niece, whether she is a daughter or a niece, there is still a gap, Mrs. Zhu can no longer ignore the facts, and asked in a trembling voice.
"Auntie!"
"So far, do you still want to hide it, do you still want to blame the Miss Qin family, the hairpin is yours, this noon, you didn't get close to the edge of the pool, how could the hairpin go to the water for no reason, do you want to break your aunt's heart-!"
"Auntie!" Finally, this Li Hengtong cried and complained...
"I didn't mean to, Auntie!" Who knows, this Li Hengtong cried out loud, grabbed the corner of Mrs. Zhu's skirt with one hand, and cried heartbreakingly, "I missed it, I was careless-!" β
Mrs. Zhu tugged at the corner of her skirt in disgust, turned her head, and felt remorse.
"Cousin, how can you be like this, no matter what, Cui'er is also our sister, my own sister, how can you-!"
This eldest girl from the Zhu family, who is only eleven years old, also came out.
As soon as she heard the words 'sister', Mrs. Zhu's old tears rolled down desperately.
"Why, why!"
Mrs. Zhu asked bitterly...
Li Hengtong choked and lowered his head and muttered.
"It's a few red musk beads that my uncle brought back from Erhai, and my sister has five, I asked her to give me one-!"
"Oh, my mother, just for those few beads!" Before she could finish listening, Mrs. Zhu called out, 'Mom-! He slapped his thigh again and threw his handkerchief and cried.
As soon as Master Zhu finished busy on the other side, he hurried over, and saw his wife crying, and his niece knelt on the ground to wipe her tears, and came forward to spread her hands and ask what was wrong, but Mrs. Zhu chattered and pulled her sleeves and cried and blamed.
Finally, Qin Mo was sent out of the door in the manner of Master Zhu looking for someone to open the way and apologizing again.

"Sister...!"
In the carriage, Xiangxiang snuggled in Qin Mo's arms, wiping her tears vigorously, sad as if something...
Although he was rescued by Qin Mo, his body was still shaking...
Qin Mo lazily hugged her with one hand, but his eyes fell out of the window from time to time, and the red satin was fluttered by the wind.
There was some emotion in my heart, but my face was cold.
Nian'er and Xiao Tao sat on the other side of the carriage cushion, Qin Mo didn't speak, and they didn't speak.
They looked at each other from time to time, but they always looked at Qin Mo's face.
"Sister, I was so scared at that moment!"
I knew that Xiangxiang climbed up from her arm.
Qin Mo's eyes narrowed
"You know you're scared?! In the future, when I go out, I will not pay attention to it, and I will run out casually if I don't listen to it, and get to know these friends with bad character."
"No, Xiangxiang is wrong, Xiangxiang knows that she is wrong, and Xiangxiang will become obedient in the future, don't get into trouble, and don't listen to others indiscriminately-!"
Qin Mo gently slapped Xiangxiang's ass as punishment.
"Fortunately, you are a child, if it was an adult, you would have been dragged to report to the official, today's lesson, you must remember in the future, what to do, you must think more, think more, don't be frizzy, if you don't understand the world, you don't know how to lose your life in the future-!"
Xiangxiang bowed her head and pouted
"Xiangxiang knows-!"
I don't know why, during the whole scene, this Yan Youye was like an invisible person, sitting in the back of the carriage, from Qin Mo entering Zhu's house to the back, this man didn't say a word.
"What are you thinking?"
Pulling the curtain on one side of the carriage, Qin Mo no longer paid attention to Xiangxiang, but turned to look at Yan Youye, who had been sitting in the middle of the carriage beside him.
In fact, she didn't want this man to be so quiet, and if he was quiet, it would make Qin Mo feel unspeakably uneasy.
"I'm thinking.!"
The back of his hand stopped at the side of his nose, Yan Youye sucked it lightly and took it down, and his black shoes and boots changed his posture on the carriage seat.
The man paused, glanced at the scenery outside the carriage, and said with a slight squint of charming starry eyes
"I don't think you really look like a fourteen-year-old girl living in your body, your composure surprised me, and I also think that you are not a person to be messed with, today's play, although I was watching from the sidelines, I seem to feel that there is something strange in it. Can you sue me why--! β
It is like a woman's fine white skin, her eyes are as bright as a bright glow, her tail is a peach blossom, her sword eyebrows are like an eagle, her eyes are like stars, and her eyes are like spring flowers.
Lined with that light blue satin robe, he is really the best among men, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament.
Qin Mo was a little flustered by his smiling eyes.
This man, those peach blossom eyes are here to seduce people?
Thinking of this, Qin Mo's body couldn't help but turn to the other side.
Could it be that he saw today's scene and knew that the hairpin was put in by her and thrown into the pond, and it was also a position on the shore, so that the people who wanted to come up had to see it.
Even if it is seen, thinking like this, Qin Mo's confidence in his heart is higher. This man, why does it sometimes seem to be smiling but not smiling, and it always makes people panic.
She doesn't like the feeling of being seen through.
"What the hell do you want me to sue you-!"
Qin Mo's tone was cold, but after he finished speaking, he didn't look at him at all, just tilted his head to the side arrogantly.
"I think it wasn't so smooth at the beginning, it seems that you know a lot and master a lot of thoughts, but, at first, it seems that a lot of things are messy, even I can't figure out the doorway, but I don't know that later, suddenly the pen turned, the willows and flowers are bright, girl, you say, aren't you in the lead-!"
Qin Mo didn't answer, and turned his head coldly, in fact, Yan Youye, although he is only a seventeen or eighteen man, he looks like such a hanger who eats and drinks on weekdays, but occasionally he still has intuition.
"Beautiful. It's beautiful...! But I didn't want to, but this Yan Youye changed the topic at this moment, "Girl, you are more beautiful on the side, and you look more tasteful-!" β
Qin Mo turned his head, in front of the two maids, he actually said such a naked and slightly frivolous remark, if it wasn't for the impact, Qin Mo would have been angry a long time ago.
"Well, you're only fourteen years old, I'm not weak yet, such a powerful and shrewd woman, shouldn't you marry me, let me marry back and give me a glorious lintel!"
Qin Mo choked
