Accidentally obtained a clue about the source of the poison from Qian Liting's mouth, Ling Li hurriedly asked, "Do you know when it disappeared?"

Qian Liting frowned and thought about it for a while, and finally confirmed: "It was around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and before that, Jiajia did come back once." ”

Ling Li nodded silently, this time and the time when Qu Jia committed the crime are indeed the same.

She was sighing that there were new clues in the case, and she finally didn't run in vain, but Qian Liting began to tremble uncontrollably.

Her gaze seemed to be out of focus, and she muttered to herself: "Jiajia actually wanted to die for a long time, why didn't I find out at all......"

Ling Li was a little worried, and hurriedly comforted her: "Aunt Qian, Qu Jia left home at a young age, you didn't live together, and it is normal for you to be negligent and not notice her emotions for a while." ”

Qian Liting shook her head: "When parents are negligent, a small negligence may cause irreparable consequences." I've always understood this, but I haven't been able to do it, I'm not qualified to be a mother at all......"

As she spoke, she suddenly broke down and cried, no matter how much Ling Li persuaded her, Ling Li had to sit quietly and wait for her to vent the emotions in her heart, and sighed in her heart, Qian Liting, she really loves to cry as always......

After more than ten minutes, Qian Liting finally stopped, sighed deeply, and said to Ling Li: "Jiajia had a very good relationship with Linjiang when she was a child, even better than with my own mother. Who knew that when I met my ex-husband to extort money during the rebellious period, I suddenly knew my life experience, and suddenly became estranged from Linjiang, and let me divorce. With my daughter on one side and my husband on the other, I really didn't know what to do, and it made this worse and worse. ”

Ling Li listened silently to Qian Liting pouring the bitter water in her heart, and when she finished talking about the long past, she made another request: "Aunt Qian, although Qu Jia is not in a good state of mind now, I really want to meet her and ask who forced her to that point, maybe it will help to clarify the case." ”

Qian Liting wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, opened her mouth as if she wanted to answer, but Qu Linjiang's angry voice sounded behind her: "No! I will never allow you to see Jia Jia again. ”

The appearance of Qu Linjiang brought the originally promising conversation to an abrupt end.

He asked the nanny to help Qian Liting into the bedroom, and politely invited Ling Li out of the villa, although he didn't do it like last time, his tightly wrinkled brows and cold eyes all showed his disgust for Ling Li.

Standing at the door of the Qu family, Ling Li bit her lip and decided to make one last effort.

She raised her eyes and stared straight into Qu Linjiang's eyes, and her voice was earnest: "Mr. Qu, there is a new situation in Qu Jia's case, I really need to meet her to verify some of my speculations about the case." ”

Qu Linjiang's voice was full of ridicule: "Lawyer Ling, we have not withdrawn the commission for a while, but the agency fee has been refunded, you don't need to do any more investigations, and I won't pay any more fees." ”

Ling Li hurriedly explained: "I didn't say I wanted to collect money, I just wanted to see Qu Jia." I won't ...... with or without results"

Without allowing her to finish speaking, Qu Linjiang waved his hand impatiently: "Don't you understand?" How many years the case will be sentenced now does not make any sense to us. We just want Jia Jia to wake up early, her current state is worse than death, please raise your noble hand and let her go, okay? ”

Speaking of this, Qu Linjiang let out a long sigh, his expression softened, and he didn't continue to blame her, but there was a trace of tiredness in his eyes that were all cold just now.

He slowed down his voice and said: "Since Jiajia was three years old, I have watched her grow up, although she is not my daughter, and she is not willing to get close to me later, but more than ten years have passed, she has long been my heart." Please let her live, and let our whole family go, don't stimulate her anymore, and leave us a little hope, okay? ”

Qu Linjiang's words with a slightly nasal voice suddenly made Ling Li's heart panic, and the words that Qu Jia was about to say were suicidal suddenly couldn't speak.

The couple was first hit by the news of their granddaughter's sudden death, and then ran for their daughter who was caught in a murder case, but there were waves of unsettled, and Qu Jia went crazy in the detention center.

They wholeheartedly hoped that Qu Jia would wake up as soon as possible, but they said something heart-piercing, which was indeed a bit excessive.

Ling Li was a little self-deprecating, and for the first time, she doubted her perseverance in pursuing the truth of the case.

From the perspective of a bystander, he first drove the suspect crazy, and then he seemed to drive the suspect's family crazy if he didn't give up, which seems to be without consideration for the parties and did not seek to maximize the interests of the parties.

A trace of doubt in her heart finally made Ling Li rather break this line than press it step by step.

It's just that she still can't let go of the case.

In the next few days, Ling Li retreated to the next best thing, first checked Qu Jia's call records, and then went to the hotel and guesthouse where Qu Jia worked to investigate, but still had no results.

On the call record list of Qu Jia's mobile phone in the past year, Zhou Ze appears most frequently, followed by Qian Liting. Qu Linjiang would occasionally call her, not very frequently, once or twice a month.

After that, she made an appointment to meet Zhou Ze again. Because Zhou Ze was still a nominal prosecution witness, Ling Li did not dare to tell him the results of her current investigation, for fear of affecting Zhou Ze's understanding attitude, but after some side knocks, Zhou Ze's words revealed that he and Qu Jia had a good relationship, and he never suspected that Xiaoyuzi was not his child.

No matter which aspect you start from, the figure of the person who forced Qu Jia to despair never showed up.

The case fell into a stalemate again, leaving Ling Li at a loss. As a last resort, she had no choice but to wrap her face around Lu Xiaoxiao again, and pulled her to analyze it several times, but she didn't have any good ideas.

After discussing the case again and getting off work, Lu Xiaoxiao was very impatient: "Xiao Lingzi, you have analyzed enough, I think it's about the same, but why do you have to say that Qu Jia's case still has hidden secrets?" ”

Ling Li hesitated again and again, and finally found a letter from the drawer of her desk. The envelope is a ubiquitous yellow brown paper envelope, with the address of the law firm and Ling Li's name written crookedly, affixed with the most ordinary stamps, and stamped diagonally with a postmark.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her suspiciously, opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper inside to unfold.

This is the most common and common A4 printer paper, the content of the letter is not printed, but cut from the newspaper and pasted on the paper, the content is somewhat shocking: don't meddle in things, or else......

Nine words of various sizes, with a row of meaningful ellipses, look rather strange.

Lu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and exclaimed: "This is a threatening letter? ”

Ling Li looked back at her, without the slightest fear in her eyes: "Yes, I received it the day after I came back from the Qu family." When I first opened it, I was also shocked. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao flipped through the letter in her hand and read it a few times, and the surprise on her face was replaced by a smile: "There is still this thing in this era?" It's not too troublesome to cut out the words on the newspaper, and it is not good to print them directly. ”

He raised his eyes and looked at Ling Li again: "How thick are your nerves?" Someone threatens you and you still look stupid? ”

Ling Li waved his hand nonchalantly: "I believe that people who do evil always have some weak hearts, and it is because of their weak hearts that they sent me this letter." Originally, I was about to give up, but when I received this letter, it confirmed my previous judgment. ”

She paused, then continued to express her thoughts: "The reason why the sender intimidated me was that he didn't want me to continue the investigation. Therefore, the truth of this case is that either someone is afraid that the exposure of the matter will ruin his reputation, or it is involved in another crime. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and looked at her: "Not bad, very progressive." However, it is not worth the amount of effort you put into this case, which may not come to fruition. First of all, the agency fee has been fully refunded to the Qu family, and no matter how much work you do, you won't get a penny. ”

Ling Li looked at her for a while, and shook her head gently: "What's worth it or not, I still care more about the truth of the case than the agency fee." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, with affirmation in her eyes. Then he patted her on the shoulder: "You still don't want to go home too late late, since this person can intimidate you, there is no guarantee that he will not act more radically, so it is better to be careful." ”

Her concern warmed Ling Li's heart, and after getting off work, Lu Xiaoxiao still couldn't rest assured, so she insisted on driving her home.

Lu Xiaoxiao, who sent her mother-in-law and mother up, Ling Li, as usual, hurriedly ate something and went to walk the dog, and after walking around with Mi Li and Guli, who were becoming more and more dependent on her, she said goodbye to the dog and went home.

It was already past nine o'clock when I arrived downstairs, and it was completely dark, but it was a lively time in the community, and my uncle's store was full of people and business.

Seeing Ling Li coming back, my uncle hurriedly brought out a bowl: "Xiao Li, come and drink to warm up." ”

It was a small bowl of chicken soup, which had been stewed all day, and it was obvious that the oil had been skimmed, only a few golden oil beads, and the soup was very bright, and the mist that rose on the soup noodles was full of the fragrance of dried mushrooms, which looked and smelled very attractive.

Ling Li smiled and took it, and drank the stewed chicken and small straw mushrooms in a row, and the stomach was warm and warm, which was very pleasant.

After adding food, Ling Li was about to roll up her sleeves to help with the work, but her uncle grabbed her again: "You go to work and walk the dog this day, you're too tired, go upstairs early to rest, don't you have to get up early tomorrow?" ”

Ling Li was about to say that it didn't matter, but her aunt put down the spatula in her hand: "Go Xiaoli, it's already past dinner, we can handle it." ”

Ling Li hesitated for a while, but finally decided to take a break. These days, she is entangled in Qu Jia's case, and she feels that she has never focused on one thing, and once she relaxes, she just wants to empty her head.

Also, she took care of the big baby of Nanzhiyi's family for almost twenty days, although it is physical work without hard work, but she is not a robot after all, and her body will always be tired if she persists these days.
