Chapter 100: The Murderer
After saying that, the old lady's anger towards Mu Qingge disappeared by more than half. Thinking about Shang Qirui's attitude towards Mu Qingge, he endured the remaining bit of anger.
Thinking that Qin's mother's life and death were uncertain, and there was no clue who the murderer was, the old lady was also very troubled. Knowing that Mother Qin told Mu Qingge everything, the old lady could only say a few words to Mu Qingge about this matter now.
"What do you think of tonight's events?" The old lady was affected by Mu Qingge's attitude, and temporarily forgot that she was only a thirteen-year-old child, and unconsciously wanted to ask her what she thought.
"I feel that those people probably want to divide into two ways, one side to attack Qin's mother, and the other to attack me." Mu Qingge pondered for a moment and said seriously, "And now, the only reason why you want to kill me and Mother Qin at the same time is probably because of that incident." Whoever doesn't want this matter to leak out is suspicious. ”
Of course, the old lady knew what "that incident" was, and her face turned pale. That's right, if Mu Ling's life experience is leaked out, it will have a very bad impact on the Mu family. Especially the matter of Mu Ling and Mu Xianyi, it may cause the Mu family to suffer a heavy blow. Therefore, from the reputation of the Mu family, in fact, the old lady can't help but admit it, and she also had such thoughts in her heart. Therefore, Mu Qingge can be regarded as saying what is on her mind. But she knew very well that tonight's events were not instructed by her.
"Tell me, then, who is suspicious?" The old lady simply asked Mu Qingge directly.
"Now it seems that there is not enough evidence for the suspects. However, I think that if he is really determined to kill me and Qin's mother, he will not stop there, so as long as he waits, he will not be able to catch him. Mu Qingge did think in his heart that this matter might have been instructed by the old lady or Mu Qi, but looking at the old lady's appearance, it seemed that he didn't know.
If the old lady and Mu Qi are excluded, it is naturally Mu Xianyi and Mu Ling who are the most suspicious. So Mu Qingge didn't say it too clearly, after all, the old lady's authority in the Mu family was still unchallengeable, and she had to leave room for each other.
The old lady had too many things in her heart, and she didn't have too much embarrassment about Mu Qingge. In the end, Mu Qingge was asked to take Qin's mother back to take care of her.
Seeing that it was only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there were two more seriously injured and sick people in the courtyard, Mu Qingge couldn't help but wonder if he was really unlucky.
"Miss, you are also tired and frightened today, go and rest, just keep watching." Su Mu settled Poria, came over and watched Mu Qingge stay by Qin's mother's bed in a daze, and hurriedly persuaded softly.
It's good to have Su Mu here, and you don't have to worry about things in the yard.
"Sit down and help me analyze it." Mu Qingge asked Su Mu to sit down, and told him about the recent events, as well as the things about Mother Qin and Mu Lingmu Xianyi, and wanted to hear Su Mu's opinion.
I have always known that Su Mu is a smart woman and has her own unique opinions. In addition, Su Mu has not been in the Mu family for a while, and from the perspective of a bystander, he can often hit the nail on the head.
Seeing that he had been away for so long, Mu Qingge still trusted himself so much, and he didn't keep telling himself about such an important and private matter at all, and Su Mu's eyes were red with emotion. I also analyzed the course of the matter more carefully.
"Miss, there is a place where the slave maid thinks it is very strange. If the masked man at night wanted Miss's life, then she should have done it directly after she used a fake slave to trick Miss. However, according to the young lady, the masked man never meant to do anything, and it felt more like he was stalling for time. It wasn't until the last lady had to leave that the masked man had the intention of killing. Su Mu listened to Mu Qingge's narration, but did not put forward his opinion on Qin's mother's matter, but instead reminded Mu Qingge that there was something wrong with the masked man's approach.
Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, and also remembered the special masked man.
"When you say that, I think of some details." The corners of Mu Qingge's mouth raised slightly, "It's not strange that the masked man knows that I am the fifteenth miss of the Mu family, but when he speaks to me, there is involuntary respect between the lines. Moreover, he has been masked all the time, and his voice is deliberately lowered. In this way, he not only knows me, but also is anxious to be a member of the Mu family. ”
"Huh?" Listening to Mu Qingge's assertion, Su Mu was taken aback, and then relieved, "Miss's guess is very reasonable. If the masked man is from the Mu family, then the master behind him is naturally also from the Mu family. The old lady said that she saw the murderer of Qin's mother fleeing to the outer courtyard. However, the family members searched for so long but found nothing, which means that either the murderer is also from the Mu family, or the Mu family has his internal response. ”
"It is also possible that the murderer belongs to the Mu family, and the Mu family also has his internal responses, so he can disappear so cleanly." Mu Qingge felt that he was about to catch the truth of the matter, but he always felt that something was missing.
If the murderer is from the Mu family and the old lady doesn't know, then it can only be Mu Xianyi or Mu Qi.
"Su Mu, tomorrow you go to see Li Zi and them, tell them to stay in the capital for a few more days, and I will invite them to dinner when I am free." Mu Qingge suddenly changed the topic, and after Su Mu's blank expression, he said, "By the way, release the news that Mother Qin is seriously injured and has died." ”
"Seriously injured?" Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Miss wants Mrs. Hou to get this news?" ”
Mrs. Hou is Mu Ling, and her husband's surname is Hou. Mu Qingge nodded, she had to confirm whether Mu Ling knew or not. This is also for the good of Mother Qin, if it is really the hand of Mu Ling, Mother Qin is afraid that she will really die. Mu Qingge wanted to find out, and she also hoped that Mu Ling didn't know.
Su Mu also figured it out, so he naturally agreed.
The next day, after the old lady's deliberate suppression, the matter on the night of the Lantern Festival was suppressed. At least, on the bright side, no one dares to talk about it. Mu Qingge asked Su Mu to prepare some gifts to give to Li Huan and them. She herself went to see Mu Qi alone.
Except for Mu Wenhan, Mu Qi usually rarely sees Mu Qingge and other juniors. I was a little surprised to hear Mu Qingge come to find me, but I still saw her.
"Greetings to grandfather." Mu Qingge was a little surprised when he saw Mu Qi's simple study. This was the first time she had entered Mu Qi's study, and she originally thought it should be low-key and luxurious, but she didn't expect it to be so simple.
"Alright, get up." Mu Qi was not in the mood to greet him, "You came to me, what's the matter?" ”R1152
