Chapter 106: Behind Bars

Early the next morning, the jade unicorn took out the burden and was about to leave secretly.

Unexpectedly, the gold ingots rushed into the house in a hurry, and the jade unicorn was startled, and hurriedly stuffed the burden into the cabinet indiscriminately, making the appearance of pretending to clean up the cabinet.

Jin Yuan Bao was not verbose, and said bluntly: "Xi'er didn't commit suicide, he killed him." ”

"What?!" The jade unicorn's body trembled, but it couldn't move for a long time.

"Liu Wenzhao found some of the softness in your house in Xi'er. In addition......" he pondered, "Xi'er has a choke on her neck, it seems that it was before we went to Dongluhe." ”

"Xi'er......" Yu Qilin didn't realize that her voice was extremely hoarse, "Xi'er was strangled to death?" ”

Jin Yuan nodded heavily, "It seems that he was strangled to death and thrown into the river, and the body surfaced ashore after a few days." The murderers are most likely from the Golden Mansion. ”

The jade unicorn held the wardrobe and muttered, "Xi'er was strangled to death!" Slowly, the shock turned into anger, and he repeated "Xi'er was strangled to death!" ”

Looking at her sad and indignant appearance, Jin Yuan stepped forward and patted her on the back and said with relief: "Okay, I'm here to tell you the news." Now I'm going to the yamen to see if I can get more detailed information. You take care of yourself. With that, he hurried away.

The jade qilin sat for a moment, and got up without hesitation, haggard and firm.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked on her front feet, a shadow slipped into the house.

The jade qilin hurried to Jiang Xiaoxuan's room without knocking on the door. Directly pushed the door open, and inside, Jiang Xiaoxuan was sorting out her luggage.

"Xi'er was killed!"

"What?" Jiang Xiaoxuan was taken aback. The thing in his hand fell to the ground at once.

"Yuan Bao just told me that she had a strangulation mark on her neck, and she was strangled to death and then thrown into the river. Most of the people who killed her were in the Golden Mansion. ”

"You...... What you say is true?! Jiang Xiaoxuan grabbed her arm in shock and asked, "Who would want to kill her?" ”

"I thought about it on the way...... "Yu Qilin said slowly: "Xi'er is a maid, she has no relatives and no reason here, and the only one who may bring death to Xi'er is the only one who can bring death to Xi'er." It's the secret of the two of us. If someone wants to force our secret from Xi'er's mouth, and Xi'er swears to die......"

The two looked at each other, and the grief faded away.

Suddenly. Jiang Xiaoxuan said affirmatively: "We won't leave." ”

"Hmm!" The jade unicorn bowed his head, "Find out the murderer and avenge Xi'er!" ”

**

Late at night. The candlelight in the room is bright.

Jin Yuan Bao sat in front of the case and meticulously made notes for everyone in the Jin Mansion. Professionalism on display. Clean and well-trained.

Jiang Xiaoxuan sat at the table and answered the question in a low voice and methodically: "Yes, when I saw it, the corpse had already been placed on the shore. No, I didn't notice the choke because I was sad at the time...... The last time I saw Xi'er was before my wife's birthday dinner. ”

Jin Yuan nodded and motioned for Jiang Xiaoxuan to press the handprint. Jiang Xiaoxuan finished doing it, bowed her head and got up. Give up your seat to the Jade Kirin.

The gold ingots raised their heads in a hurry, and gently glanced at the jade unicorn, and the tenderness appeared in an instant.

Behind the jade unicorn, Liu Qianqian took in the golden ingot's expression and sneered slightly.

The gold ingots calmed down and began to ask questions. The jade qilin sat straight at the table with a serious face and answered one by one.

"When was the last time you saw Xi'er?"

"Before the lady's birthday banquet, she once helped to receive the people from the Jiang Mansion who came to pay their respects."

"Xi'er found some soft in your room, it looks like she stole something......"

"There's no way Xi'er can steal." Jade Qilin interrupted resolutely: "This must be the murderer's attempt to confuse the public. ”

Jin Yuanbao groaned slightly: "In your opinion, Xi'er may have a grudge against someone because of something?" ”

"I ...... Can't think of it. The jade unicorn was depressed, and in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and empty-hearted.

The gold ingots nodded, and the jade unicorn pressed the handprint and got up.

Liu Qianqian didn't wait for the jade unicorn to leave completely, stepped forward, and staggered the jade unicorn.

Jin Yuan frowned and scolded, "Sit down." ”

Liu Qianqian didn't sit down, she stood straight with her hands behind her back, her eyes were blazing, her expression was extremely excited, and even a little arrogant.

Everyone noticed her abnormality, and Jin Yuan Bao was about to ask, Liu Qianqian suddenly said loudly and excitedly: "I know who killed Xi'er!" After she said that, she turned to look at the jade unicorn violently, with a gloating smile on her face, "It's her!" Jiang Xiaoxuan! ”

The crowd was shocked.

Jiang Xiaoxuan hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense!" Jade...... Xiaoxuan, how could she kill Xi'er! ”

When Jin Yuan Bao heard this, he also frowned tightly, and shouted: "Qianqian, don't mess around!" This is a matter of human life, not a time for you to be vindictive at home! ”

"You don't believe me?" Liu Qianqian was angry, then slowly calmed down, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you one by one." First, about a month ago, after Jiang Xiaoxuan returned to the door, I saw her and Xi'er arguing in a corner of the garden, Xi'er threatened that if you do this again, I will say it, Jiang Xiaoxuan still didn't agree, Xi'er ran away crying; Second, in the past few days, Jiang Xiaoxuan has been beating gongs and drums all over the world to find Xi'er, but when Xi'er's body was found, Jiang Xiaoxuan's face was full of horror, there was no tears, and her reaction was abnormal! The last-"

Hearing her straightforward and coherent analysis, everyone gradually became sluggish.

After hearing this, Jin Yuan Bao was about to refute angrily, but unexpectedly, the jade unicorn on the side turned pale but did not refute silently, and seemed to admit the accusation, and Jin Yuanbao's heart was shocked.

Seeing this, Liu Qianqian was naturally triumphant, and said in a long voice: "The last-" She suddenly threw the thing that her hands were hiding behind her back on the gold ingot book case, "After I found Xi'er's body today, I saw her hiding in the house, packing up her baggage and preparing to escape!" ”

Looking down at the jade unicorn clothes and a small amount of silver taels exposed in the familiar burden on the bookcase, the gold ingot's face gradually became gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

"You say, a maid died, and the six gods who were the masters packed up their burdens and prepared to run away, this is not absconding in fear of crime, what is it?" Liu Qianqian turned to the jade unicorn violently and said sharply: "Xi'er was killed by you!" You're too embarrassed to sit here and tell your cousin that you don't know anything! Slut! If it weren't for my cousin's temporary decision to record a confession overnight, you would have run away with your baggage!"

"No, no......" The jade qilin was pale and crumbling, and Jiang Xiaoxuan was holding her on the side.

The gold ingots looked up at the jade unicorn at this time, and slowly opened his mouth to ask, calmly, as if he was still asking for a confession: "Is this burden yours?" It was only at the end of the day that his voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"It's mine."

"You packed your baggage, are you planning to leave the Golden Mansion?" The gold ingot's expression darkened.

Looking at him, the jade qilin was speechless for a while, and she couldn't explain it.

The gold ingots stared at her expressionlessly, with a trace of pain and disbelief in their eyes, but they still tried their best to suppress it.

"I packed my baggage and planned to leave the Golden Mansion." The jade unicorn's heart was like a knife, and he replied slowly.

Yuluo, everyone gasped, and the room was silent.

"For what?" The words of the gold ingots are no longer like catching a quick confession, it is like talking to oneself, and it seems to be endlessly questioning.

Everyone waited for the Jade Qilin to answer.

However, the Jade Qilin was silent.

How so? Is it said that she packed her bags to escape the fact that she deceived him? She couldn't speak...... The jade unicorn has no choice but to choose this simplest way - speechless.

"For what?" The gold ingots stared at her and beat her word by word.

Faced with his questioning again, the Jade Qilin's heart was like a knife, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't tell you." ”

On the side, Jiang Xiaoxuan saw that the two of them were in a gap, and she was so anxious that she opened her mouth to reveal the truth.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qianqian on the side shouted proudly: "Of course you can't tell!" You just killed someone, and you absconded in fear of crime! ”

Completely ignoring Liu Qianqian's hustle and bustle, Jin Yuan only looked at the burden on his case, and gradually looked like ashes.

"There are all the human and material evidence, what are you waiting for if you don't take them into prison!" Liu Qianqian saw that Jin Yuan Bao ignored him, and gradually became anxious: "Cousin, as a fast catcher, you can't know the law and break the law and cover up favoritism!" ”

Everyone in the room didn't dare to speak, and they held their breath one by one, waiting for the reaction of the gold ingot.

Jin Yuan Bao lowered his head for a while, slowly raised his head, looked at the jade qilin calmly, as if looking at any suspect, and said incomparably calmly and indifferently: "Jiang Xiaoxuan, what else do you have to say about these accusations against Liu Qianqian?" ”

"I ......" Yu Qilin actually smiled slightly, as if relieved, "I don't have anything to say." ”

The crowd was amazed again.

Jiang Xiaoxuan shouted with tears in her eyes: "How can you have nothing to say!" Tell him you didn't do it! ”

The jade unicorn gritted his teeth and did not speak.

The gold ingot got up, tired, indifferent, and no longer looked at her.

Everyone in the room stood for a long time, and Wang Qiang stepped forward hesitantly and asked, "Yuanbao, do you think you brought this person back or ......?"

"Imprisoned."

These two words seem to contain infinite exhaustion.

Wang Qiang looked at him hesitantly and did not move.

"Imprisoned!" Gold ingots raise the voice.

Helpless, Wang Qiang had to take a step forward, "I'm sorry ......", and then cut the jade unicorn's hand behind and escorted him to the cell.

The jade unicorn bowed his head and obeyed, and when he passed by the gold ingot, he found that he was facing away from him, and his heart was sour, but he had nothing to say.

Listening to the footsteps that were getting farther and farther away, the gold ingots finally couldn't help but turn around, and their eyes followed the jade qilin all the way to be taken away by the officials, as if they were asking speechlessly why did you want to leave me.

Although he didn't look back, the jade qilin seemed to be able to feel the burning gaze behind him, and his face became calmer. (To be continued......)
