Chapter 42: Chilling
The last rhetorical question, long and permeating coolness, made many people shudder for a while.
The cold questioning, compared with the previous ones, seems to have become less intense than the contradictions between the qualities.
The old incident fifteen years ago can be regarded as an invisible taboo in the Ye family, at least no one dares to talk about it casually on the surface, especially in front of Princess Zhaohua.
However, there are not a few old people who know about this, and the younger newcomers have also heard about it in private in recent days. Truth, falsehood, falsehood, fiction and reality all affect the most curious special mentality in the depths of the human soul.
Although it has not been really confirmed, most people really think that the accident fifteen years ago contains a mystery, otherwise Princess Zhaohua would not be very taboo about it.
And now, seeing that the eldest lady is in front of the crown prince, the second prince and the national teacher, who are distinguished outsiders, she unabashedly and openly questioned whether there was another hidden meaning in the accident back then, which couldn't help but make many people break out in a cold sweat.
It was as if there was an invisible smoke gradually spreading, and something would eventually be touched, but no one dared to predict it, so they had to concentrate more on everything in front of them.
"No, no, no...... Miss, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that! Of course, Lord Lin hurriedly denied it, and put aside the relationship, they can't afford to get involved in this kind of thing.
"That's not what it means, what does that mean?" Ye Nianchen asked in a cold voice: "If the death of my mother's relatives was just an ordinary accident, and a few subordinates were just ordinary dereliction of duty, then why do you think I have to kill a few subordinates who have served my mother in order to be willing?" Don't you think it's strange to you, two adults? ”
"I ...... This ......"
Whether it is Lord Lin or Lord Bai, all of them have complicated expressions at this time, and they are speechless.
They subconsciously looked at Princess Zhaohua on the side, obviously not knowing how to deal with the end.
And where can such a small action be hidden from Ye Nianchen's eyes, and even many people below can see it clearly, secretly guessing the clues.
"Nianchen, the two adults are only talking about things, you don't need to make such a fuss with emotions." Princess Zhaohua had to squeak, things had reached this point, and she really couldn't show up again.
She has already learned Ye Nianchen's style of acting, once she grasps the advantage, she will bite it like a mad dog and will not let go easily, and this will see that she bites the events of fifteen years ago in public, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in short, it can no longer be extended by her.
"Mother, it's not that the daughter is unreasonable, but the entry point of the two adults is problematic in itself. Could it ever be that they are only allowed to have arbitrary associations out of nothing, and they cannot be reasonably analyzed and inferred by their daughters? ”
Ye Nianchen didn't need to be too polite to Princess Zhaohua at this time, and said lightly: "Besides, at this moment, it is also the time when the daughter and the two adults confront each other, if you have any questions, you have to ask them, otherwise how can you solve them?" Traditionally, it is not appropriate for the mother to be too involved now. ”
"What do you ......" Princess Zhaohua was directly choked back by Ye Nianchen, her face was extremely unkind, and she was about to show the authority of her elders, but she was interrupted by the prince.
"Imperial Aunt, since this matter involves Miss Nianchen, it is better for her to explain it to herself and the two adults face to face."
As a witness, it is appropriate for the prince to speak out at this time: "We are all just outsiders for the time being, and it is indeed not appropriate to intervene at this moment. ”
As soon as the prince's words came out, Princess Zhaohua had to close her mouth, her eyes swept over Ye Nianchen, and she couldn't see too much joy and anger on her face.
"Two adults, please don't shy away from it, answer my question directly!" Ye Nianchen didn't pay attention to Princess Zhaohua at all, and he didn't delay his efforts to thank the prince.
At this moment, she only has the two masters of solving the case in her eyes, and she looks like she will not give up until she completely understands the matter.
This kind of Ye Nianchen does not feel abrupt when he falls into the eyes of everyone, but the strength of never surrendering to anyone after recognizing one thing is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the face of the pressure, Lord Bai finally couldn't be silent anymore, so he had to say: "Miss, I admit that our previous inferences were too subjective and arbitrary......"
"Is it arbitrary, or is it wrong?" Ye Nianchen was not satisfied with such an answer, and snorted coldly: "Fifteen years ago, I was only a five-year-old child, and I didn't understand anything, but I was more sensitive to the death of my relatives than anyone else. Therefore, since I witnessed that scene with my own eyes, I will be overly frightened and have been ill for more than ten years! ”
"I can't understand how such old wounds can be a reason for you to blame me! If it weren't for the fact that there was indeed a hidden secret that others didn't know about, then someone had already tied the title of murderer to me from the beginning of the investigation, otherwise, with your ability and experience, it would be impossible to make such a low-level mistake! ”
"Miss!" After being accused by Ye Nianchen in public again and again of being wrong, Lord Bai finally couldn't help it, and asked with an extremely ugly face: "Dare to ask the eldest lady who keeps saying that we are wrong, or the most low-level mistake, is it too early to make such a conclusion now?" ”
"Since Lord Bai still doesn't want to admit it, then I will also learn from the two adults to deduce and infer in public!"
Ye Nianchen stared at the master of case solving surnamed Bai expressionlessly, and did not give in: "It turns out that the two adults have no basis for listing me as a suspect, and the evidence you listed and the motive for the murder on my head are all loopholes, which is extremely ridiculous!" ”
"As an experienced master of solving cases, you arbitrarily locked the target from the beginning, directly inferred guilt from me, and then selectively listed the so-called criminal evidence on this basis, so the investigation is not fair and true at all, and you are wrong from the beginning!"
Speaking of this, Ye Nianchen paused slightly, and after seeing Bai and Lin's solemn expressions, with a look of surprise that could not be concealed, he continued: "Don't deny all this to me, because you have tried your best to characterize these three accidents, which were just accidents, as murders, and have already revealed your true purpose!" ”
"Miss, those ......" Lin and Bai wanted to interrupt and refute.
Ye Nianchen didn't pay attention to it, and was extremely strong in one go: "Although the arguments you bothered to find can indeed be explained, the explanations that make sense may not necessarily be the truth!" At the end of the day, that's just your guess, just one of the possibilities of an accident! You're misleading everyone from start to finish, and this possible guess is the whole story! ”
"According to the meaning of the eldest lady, could it be that this is to overturn everything we said and revert these lives to accidents?"
Up to now, Lord Bai was unusual, neither anxious nor worried, his face was gloomy and frightening, and he obviously had an antagonistic intention towards Ye Nianchen.
"Why can't it be an accident? If you follow the logic that as long as you can explain it can be explained, it is absolutely more reasonable than what you have proposed! ”
Ye Nianchen didn't care about Lord Bai's sudden change of face, and said straightforwardly: "In the first accident, regarding the death of Mrs. Liu, who said that people who have not had sleepwalking symptoms for decades will never sleepwalk?" Who said that sleepwalkers will not wake up halfway through and scare themselves to death if no one suddenly wakes them up during sleepwalking? ”
"Such cases have been recorded in "The Story of Origins" and "Fan Yang Travel Chronicles", if the two adults read less and are willing, if they deliberately ignore the partial generalization, your real thoughts and goals can really make people shudder!"
Lord Bai's face turned from white to red, from red to purple, and finally from purple to blue, and his hands trembled subconsciously, obviously angry by Ye Nianchen's words.
