Chapter Seventy-Nine: Killing Intent
Lu Qinghuan was almost certain that the only one who wanted to get rid of her was the Lin family who had gone to such great lengths to get rid of her in the Lu Mansion.
But as soon as the maid died, all the clues were broken, and a single bruise was not enough evidence at all. www.biquge.info things returned to Biqu Pavilion, Lu Qinghuan's heart inevitably began to become agitated.
She tried to calm herself down, carefully remembering the scene when she first stepped into the yard, and she always felt as if she had missed something.
While thinking, Lu Qinghuan walked along the plum trees, figured out the fragrance of the plum blossoms, and cleared his thoughts. Just as she was thinking about it, the snow on the plum tree was blown down by the wind and drifted to her face, and she suddenly felt a chill, and a flash of inspiration occurred in her mind - yes, it was snow!
When she and Pei Yuan came, the snow was swept away near the well, and she didn't pay attention to it before, because there was no snow on the other ground in the Lu Mansion, this kind of habitual thinking made her not realize that something was wrong, so she focused all her attention on the body of the maid.
Now that I think about it, who would come to clean up the snow in such an abandoned yard?
Presumably, only the murderer swept the ground in order to avoid leaving marks on the snow. Because there were no bricks, it looked muddy when the snow was cleared. And when the guards were looking for the maid just now, the ground had already been destroyed, and at this time, it was impossible to tell whether the murderer had left footprints.
The only thing that can be concluded is that this murderer is very smart and calm, and after killing the maid, he even calmly cleaned the scene, which shows that he is meticulous and this is not the first time he has killed someone.
According to the report of the person sent out by Pei Yuan to investigate, the maid's mother was seriously ill for a long time, and suddenly got a large amount of money a few days ago. Obviously, that's why she was poisoned.
Although there have been speculations for a long time, it is really uncomfortable to hear such news.
"People die for money, birds die for food, and they don't change forever."
When Pei Yuan said this, his expression was flat, and his eyes revealed a condensation that Lu Qinghuan had never seen before.
The two returned to the main hall from the new, Lu Jin sat solemnly on the low couch, sighing, but the Lin family was not here, presumably to accompany Lu Yuge.
"How? How's it going? Seeing the two of them coming in, Lu Jinyan hurriedly stood up and asked.
Lu Qinghuan glanced at Pei Yuan and didn't speak, she said that this matter was handed over to Pei Yuan, presumably he would help him find out the murderer.
Pei Yuan felt her gaze, replied with a reassuring smile, and said to Lu Jinyan: "The person who poisoned him has already thrown himself into the well and died, it seems that Lu Qiniang's poison will not have an antidote!" ”
"Huh? How so? Lu Jinyan's eyes widened with disappointment, and he sat down dejectedly, his eyes were stunned for a long time, and suddenly as if he had found a savior, he looked at Lu Qinghuan and begged: "You can help Ge'er!" You know Helan Xuanyi, he has excellent medical skills, and he will definitely be able to save Ge'er! ”
This was the first time that Lu Jinyan spoke to Lu Qinghuan in a low voice, but it was to save his other daughter.
Pei Yuan looked at it coldly, and he was very disdainful of Lu Jinyan in his heart, but he saw Lu Qinghuan shaking his head expressionlessly, and he couldn't see the joy and sorrow.
Lu Jinyan was stimulated by her silent refusal, and suddenly swept all the teacups on the couch to the ground in a frenzy, and shouted hysterically: "You evil obstacle! If it weren't for you, how could Ge'er be poisoned! If the song has any three long and two short, I will kill you! ”
Before, he was afraid of Pei Yuan's presence, but now that he heard that Lu Yuge's poisoning was in danger, he had already lost his mind.
"You can try it!" Lu Qinghuan didn't want to pay attention, just threw down a cold sentence, turned around and left.
Pei Yuan had already seen that Lu Jinyan didn't like Lu Qinghuan, but such a complete hatred was really a little inexplicable. He looked at Lu Qinghuan's slightly thin back, and felt a little sorry for her inexplicably.
It's a pity that the person concerned, Lu Qinghuan, doesn't feel it at all, Lu Jinyan is not really her father, whether it is yelling at her, yelling, shouting or killing, she doesn't feel anything, at most she thinks he is crazy. But what she was angry about was Lu Jin's strict attitude towards her daughter, presumably if he hadn't been so partial, Lu Qinghuan would not have fallen off the cliff and died tragically.
Neither of them stayed in the main hall for long, so they walked towards Qinghuan Pavilion.
"Pei Yushi, where are you going to start?" Lu Qinghuan's tone was light, and he couldn't see any sadness or resentment.
"What do you think?" Pei Yuan glanced at Lu Qinghuan and made sure that she was not changing the topic, so he put aside the love just now and concentrated on discussing the case.
"If it were me, I would start with the people the maid had come into contact with."
"Oh? How so? ”
"She is the rough maid of the main courtyard, and she is supposed to stay in the main courtyard, why did she suddenly appear on the way to Yu Geyuan? Apparently instructed to do so! ”
Pei Yuan nodded approvingly, "I've already sent someone to investigate, let's just wait for the result with peace of mind!" ”
Lu Qinghuan was surprised, she had been with Pei Yuan since just now, and she didn't even know when he sent the people, could it be that he had arranged everything at the beginning?
Pei Yuan did consider all the possibilities from the moment he knew that a rough maid had sent snow clams to Lu Yuge, and then began to investigate the identity, background, and people he came into contact with.
Guess it, and you will get the results in a little while.
Sure enough, as soon as the two returned to Qinghuan Pavilion, someone came to report that they had found out, and the maid had recently gotten closer to a Jane grandmother beside the Lin family.
Mama Jian is an old man brought by the Lin family from her mother's family, and she is quite authoritative in the Lu Mansion and is also a confidant of the Lin family.
Pei Yuan almost didn't need to command, and his subordinates quietly arrested Mama Jian.
Qinghuan Pavilion is not big, there is only one main wing room and one side room, there is no vacant room, Pei Yuan asked people to detain Mama Jian in the open space in the courtyard and interrogate her directly.
"Do you know Hongling?" Hongling is the rough maid. Pei Yuan stared at Mama Jian condensedly, not letting go of the slightest change in her expression.
Mama Jian was nearly fifty years old, with stereotypical wrinkles on her face, and a pair of triangular eyes coldly roamed around Pei Yuan and Lu Qinghuan, and only after a long time did she murmur in a dark voice: "Fox Meizi, if there is a mother, there must be a daughter." ”
Her voice was not loud, because she stood far away, Lu Qinghuan didn't hear it clearly, she could only feel that she was not answering Pei Yuan's words, but Pei Yuan heard it.
His face became very ugly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes staring at Mama Jane.
Mama Jane, who was standing in the courtyard, was shocked by this murderous intent and broke out in a cold sweat, like a sharp sword at her throat, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and felt timid.
It wasn't until Pei Yuan retracted his gaze that the pressure on Mama Jane's body suddenly decreased, she quietly wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and whispered, "I know, it's the maid who sweeps the floor in the courtyard." ”
