Chapter 18: Who Is the Murderer (II)

"When did your mother die?" A gentle voice came.

Shi Qingqing looked up in surprise, she didn't expect that the first thing he said was to ask her mother.

The Lord Zai's father is about thirty years old, his mouth is full of cheeks, although he does not have the elegant air of a scholar, but he has a rough smell, and his skin is relatively dark, anyone who sees it at first glance will feel that this person is a rough man.

But he is jealous of evil like hatred and love for the people, and the people will use his portrait to define the eighteen-layer Yama King of the Hell, since ancient times, the officials and the people are proud of the ancient gods, but after he listened to the report of the subordinates, he was happier than the god who was named the Jade Emperor Guanyin, who was extremely powerful, and only said, "Very good, very good"!

It's not casual, he even built the Yama Hall for this purpose, and used his own portrait of the king of Hades.

Such a man, Shi Qingqing, heard the softness with which he mentioned his mother.

Although the vision of the two of them was hazy because of the separation screen, Father Ao still relied on Shi Qingqing's breathing to no longer feel Shi Qingqing's surprised expression as he had previously calmly estimated.

coughed dryly, and then asked softly, "Miss, you don't have to be nervous, it is the rule of our Dali Temple to ask the suspect alone, you just need to explain it truthfully." ”

Shi Qing Aoki nodded, only to remember that the other party couldn't see it well, and hurriedly said: "Okay!" ”

"My mother's appointment was made five days ago."

Seeing that Shi Qingqing seemed to be recalling extremely painful things, Ao did not interrupt, and Ren Shi Qingqing continued to speak intermittently.

"It's a pity that my mother didn't even see her for the last time at that time, they forced my mother to death, and now they are going to kill me again......"

said that he was silent, Shi Qingqing secretly glanced out the window, and his father and father were still waiting outside.

changed the subject, "Uncle Zaifu, did you have a good relationship with my mother?" ”

Shi Qingqing's cautious movements naturally fell into the eyes of Zai Father Ao.

At this time, Zai's father Ao also touched his heart because of Shi Qingqing's old friendship. Yes, old friends, friendship at first sight. However, Zai's father Ao just muttered in his heart, how to talk to the daughter of the old man about this, and joked: "Your mother didn't know anyone in the imperial capital when she was young!" ”

Shi Qingqing seemed to mutter, "Really? There was no need for Zaifu Ao to answer this, so Zaifu Ao did not answer.

Zai's father Ao's eyes narrowed, trying his best to look at Shi Qingqing's expression at this time, only to see that her eyes were dark somewhere, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Zai's father Ao sighed, it is rumored that the eldest lady of the Shifu is stupid and has a lot to do with her love for gods, hmm~ and her appearance.

"Qing'er? I wonder if it's okay for me to call you like that? Father Zai asked.

Shi Qingqing nodded to himself, one is because he is an old friend of his mother, and the other is that it is almost beneficial to himself.

After getting Shi Qingqing's head, Zai's father Ao stopped talking about the past, and his face became stern, "You have to tell me in detail about your return yesterday, the more detailed the better." ”

Zai's father, Ao, looked at the impatient teacher outside, so he had to interrupt Shi Qingqing to continue his distraction.

"Huh?" Shi Qingqing was startled by the sudden sound of his father Ao, and only then did he remember that he had been here for five days, and he was really living like a year.

"Oh...... What about going back to the yard? Shi Qingqing didn't hear it very clearly, so he asked again, and Father Ao's face was as usual, and he responded with a slight bow.

Seeing that he had received a definite answer, Shi Qingqing told him about the events of last night again: "At that time, after thinking about Rong Rong's sister's return, I went straight back to the courtyard, and I didn't meet anyone on the way, but the snow was deep, and I was afraid that it was a little late when I arrived at the house." ”

Zai's father Ao did not refute this, and asked another question, "Just now, you Wu Niang said that you had a misunderstanding with the sixth lady and your sixth sister, what is the misunderstanding?" ”

Shi Qingqing was stunned, he didn't expect this person to be so delicate, the fifth lady's casual words were put in his heart, Shi Qingqing lowered his head and pondered for a while, do you want to say it?

Zai's father Ao naturally knew what Shi Qingqing was thinking at this time, but he was also patient, and he was not in a hurry when he saw that he was more than Shi Qingqing.

Shi Qingqing thought about it for a while, and sighed secretly, I was afraid that this person already knew, and asking more questions at this moment was just a temptation.

I had to answer truthfully.

"Somehow after listening to my poem, Daddy missed and broke his hand, Miss Six and Mrs. Six blamed me, Daddy was very angry, and punished them into the ancestral hall to bow down and think about it."

Shi Qingqing tried his best to summarize and describe it, and after speaking, he savored it carefully, and only then did he put his mind at ease.

Hearing this, Zaifu Ao's eyes deepened a little, and his tone was still the same as before, and he asked another question.

"Can Qing'er go out of this yard on weekdays?"

"It's rare, and it's been very cold for the past two days, so if it weren't for someone from the front yard, I wouldn't want to go out."

Shi Qingqing replied honestly.

"Then why did you come back so late that night?" Is this a question of suspicion?

Shi Qingqing was puzzled, "I want Sister Rong to invite me to her house for the first time, how can I refuse, plus I only have Xi'er as a companion on weekdays, and I don't have girlfriends, and I am curious that Sister Rong has something interesting in the yard, so I went, but I didn't expect to have fun and forget the time." ”

Zaifu Ao was silent for a long time when he heard this, Shi Qingqing's words were reasonable, it should indeed not be her, but now all the evidence points to her, could it be that someone did it intentionally, but who is it?

Father Ao looked at Shi Qingqing, and when he saw that she was looking at him, he couldn't help but smile, "You go out first!" ”

Yes?

That's it?

Shi Qingqing got up with a puzzled face, and as soon as he walked outside the door, he heard the gentle male voice coming from behind, "Lao Qing'er asked your maid to come in!" ”

Shi Qingqing turned his head and bowed slightly in understanding.

As soon as Shi Qingqing Fang stepped out of the door, Shi Xiang and the others immediately surrounded him, "How is it?" Did someone deliberately make things difficult for you? ”

Shi Qingqing's ears, which were loud, were shaken, and then a cold snort came from inside.

Shi Qingqing hurriedly laughed, "No, Daddy, Uncle Zaifu is very good, just asked a few questions at random, and I answered truthfully and Uncle Zai let me out." ”

The teacher still didn't believe it, "Really? ”

Shi Qingqing nodded affirmatively.

Remembering that Lord Zaifu was still waiting inside, he hurriedly turned his head to Xi'er and said, "Lord Zaifu told you to go in!" ”

Xi'er took a deep breath, nodded at Shi Qingqing, and bowed slightly to Shi Xiang before walking in.

Shi Qingqing looked at Xi'er's back for a long time, and then turned around, although the words just now were to answer Shi Xiang, he also said it to Xi'er, I don't know if this little girl understood.

"Lord Zaifu." Xi'er made a civilian salute.

The father did not raise his head, so he said, "Sit down!" ”

After speaking, he still worked hard to write, and Zai's father Ao had a habit of recording all the things that the prisoners and suspects said one by one after the interrogation, and he had to do it himself.

The sound of the tables and chairs behind the screen came, and Zai's father Ao estimated that Xi'er had already sat down, and said, "Explain last night's incident carefully!" ”

Xi'er is not a teacher Qingqing, so naturally she will not be treated gently by her father Ao, who at that time interrogated Xi'er as an irrelevant suspect, and the anger on her body was undoubtedly exposed, and she exerted pressure invisibly.

Xi'er swallowed her saliva before she carefully explained, "After returning from Luomei Garden with the eldest lady last night, Miss Rong invited the eldest lady to sit in her Yiyun Pavilion, and then the two chatted about some poetry and embroidery, and came back after eating. ”

After a pause, the ink dripped down the tip of his nose and smudged on the paper, forming a small dot in an instant.

Why did the two of them repeatedly insist that they were late in the house?

Zaifu Ao put down the pen and put it aside, and kept tapping his fingers on the table, with urgency and slowness, and Xi'er was even more nervous when he heard it.

Although it is separated by the screen, he can still feel that Zai's father Ao's eyes are staring straight at Xi'er, making people have nothing to hide.

After a while, Xi'er's robe was about to be twisted into a twisted shape, and Zai's father Ao opened his mouth lightly, but his eyes were still unavoidable.

"However, that's not what your young lady said!"

The voice of these words was extremely low, and even though Shi Xiang and Shi Qingqing were looking forward to it, they were still helpless and couldn't hear half a minute.

The voice is small but the amount of information is large, like a precursor to heavy rain, five thunders hit the top, smashing the six gods of Xi'er, "How come?" Miss told me so! ”
