Chapter X: Murder Cases (3)

"I wonder what Miss Li ate or drank when she came to you yesterday?"

The girl nodded slightly, "My cousin has drunk tea from me, but the tea is the same as usual." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Can you bring us the tea set you drank yesterday?"

Although Gu Xiao was talking, her eyes stared at the girl for a moment, carefully examining her expression.

The girl seemed to have thought that she would make such a request, and a flash of clarity flashed in her eyes, although it was very fast, Gu Xiao saw it very clearly.

"Absolutely! Hongluo, go and bring the tea set that my cousin used yesterday. ”

"Yes, Miss!"

A little maid in a pale yellow dress walked out, and after responding respectfully, she turned and walked away quickly.

Soon, the little maid brought a set of tea sets painted with the pattern of immortals and clouds, Gu Xiao casually picked up a porcelain cup and looked at it, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, and then put it back.

She didn't think that she would find any clues on the tea set, and if the murderer was prepared, how could he put the evidence there and wait for others to find out?

"This tea set should be newly bought, right?"

She asked as if unintentionally, but her eyes were fixed on the girl.

The girl's eyes were slightly stunned, but quickly, they returned to normal.

"Exactly, this is what my cousin gave me not long ago, I have been reluctant to use it, so I have kept it, but I didn't expect that the day before yesterday, a little girl accidentally broke the teapot before, and my cousin came to me yesterday, and I took it out. Girl, isn't there something wrong with this tea set? ”

The corners of Gu Xiao's mouth raised, and he shook his head and said, "No, there's no problem." ”

She only felt strange, this little girl said that she and Miss Li have a very good relationship, sisterhood, but when she saw the tea set that Miss Li gave her, she didn't have a little bit of thoughts about things, although the face was very sad, but a person's eyes can't deceive people!

Gu Xiao shifted her gaze and looked at Hong Luo who was standing aside, "The person who made tea for Miss Li yesterday, but you?" ”

Hong Luo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It's the slave!" It's just that the slave maid made tea, our lady also ate it! ”

Gu Xiao nodded, "I know." Then he said, "What is this girl's name?" ”

The girl bowed slightly, and said softly: "Back to the girl, the name of the folk girl is He Meng." ”

He Meng's heart was actually a little uneasy, she always felt that this girl of the same age as herself seemed to see something.

"Is He Meng? That's a good name! But where did you pour the tea you drank yesterday? ”

"This folk girl doesn't know, after my cousin left last night, I also rested, leaving only the two little maids to clean up outside."

Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows and looked at everyone, but saw that their faces were full of doubts, as if she didn't understand, why did this girl keep asking Miss Biao about tea, could it be that she suspected that Miss Biao had poisoned their young lady? How is this possible?

He Meng's family was poor and had lost her mother since she was a child, and Mrs. Li couldn't bear to let her sister's only daughter suffer, so she sent someone to take her back to the Li family and raise her as her own daughter.

This He Meng is the same age as Li Yao, the eldest lady of the Li family, and they grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is very good, and there is no secret between the two.

In the eyes of the Li family, anyone can harm their young lady, but He Meng will not.

"Which two maids cleaned up the tea set yesterday?"

After a while, two little maids came out tremblingly, bowed back: "Back girl, it's a slave!" ”

Gu Xiao raised her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Where did you pour yesterday's tea leaves?" ”

"Back to the girl, tea...... The tea has been poured into Miss Table's backyard by the slave maid! ”

Fall in the backyard? In this way, there should be no problem with the tea, otherwise how could it be poured directly in the backyard? Could it be that she is suspicious?

It's just that Gu Xiao still feels that the little girl He Meng is not quite right, she said that she has a deep sisterhood with Miss Li, but her eyes are very cold, and even ...... Even with a bit of indescribable weirdness.

"I wonder what the girl means? Could it be ...... The girl suspects that I killed my cousin? ”

After He Meng finished speaking, his face suddenly turned pale, and tears fell uncontrollably, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Gu Xiao frowned slightly, she just asked some questions that should be asked, when did she say that she was the murderer of Miss Li? This woman is too sensitive!

"The girl misunderstood, Meng'er and Yao'er grew up with me, she is gentle and kind, and she is even more sisterly with Yao'er, how could she hurt Yao'er!"

Mrs. Li on the side shook her head slightly, she just suspected anyone, and she would not suspect this child who grew up beside her since childhood.

"Miss He and Mrs. Li misunderstood, I just wanted to ask Miss Li what she ate yesterday, and I didn't say that Miss He was the murderer."

Gu Xiao didn't know if it was her own delusion, she always felt that He Meng looked a little panicked by being a thief, and when she suddenly said this, she had a sense of wanting to cover it up.

"Auntie, you know me, even if I kill myself, I will definitely not hurt my cousin!

I have been in the Li family since I was a child, and my uncle and aunt have treated me with great kindness, how could I do such an ungrateful thing! ”

I saw He Meng choking and sobbing in a low voice, and his delicate little face was pale and miserable, as if he had been greatly wronged.

At this time, everyone in the Li family, even Master Li and Mrs. Li, looked at Gu Xiao with a bit of rebuke and displeasure in their eyes.

Gu Xiao blinked, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: What a powerful little mouth, and in just a few words, he directly pointed the finger at himself!

If she thought that this girl was not a murderer before, but now she is a little suspicious, how can such a powerful character be a general?

Gu Xiao's eyes were cold, and she said sharply: "Miss He is so powerful, when did I say that Miss He was the one who killed Miss Li?" Miss He said this, isn't she a thief? ”

When a group of people heard this, they immediately looked at each other, right! This girl didn't say that Miss Cousin hurt Miss! Why did Miss Cousin say such a thing, wasn't she afraid?

For a while, everyone was suspicious, but just thinking about it, they felt unlikely, how could such a weak little girl as Miss Biao do such a vicious thing? Besides, there's no reason for her to do that!

He Meng's face turned a little paler, his lips trembled and he looked at Mrs. Li, and said aggrievedly: "Auntie, I grew up with you, don't you know what kind of person I am?" This girl wronged me for no reason, what does it mean? ”

Gu Xiao sneered, "Miss He pays attention to her words, I said it, I didn't say that Miss He was a murderer, this was what Miss He said herself." ”
