Chapter XVIII Murder is a crime

After she finished speaking, Shen Lian immediately asked, "So you have nothing to do with her death?" ”

"Of course it doesn't matter, killing someone is a crime, and it is to pay for one's life, I know this very well, at least I am also a person who has read books, so naturally I will not do that kind of thing."

In the simple conversation with Chunjuan, Shen Lian could see that she seemed to be a little pretentious, a little contemptuous of others, and a little domineering.

However, this kind of person has always come directly to her face if she has any problems, and she will not engage in those small tricks behind her back, judging from her whole behavior and attitude, it seems that it has little to do with the death of the concubine.

But before leaving, Shen Lian asked again, the same question that he had asked Huang before.

"If the death of the concubine was not a suicide, who do you think would have done this?" Chunjuan didn't answer this question at first, I don't know if it was because she was afraid of offending people, or because she couldn't think of anyone who would do this.

After thinking about it for a while, she finally gave an answer.

"If I want to say it, I think it may be Qiuyue who did this, because Qiuyue usually has the best relationship with her, and she looks like a sister, but in fact, there are some things that everyone knows, how can they be as close as sisters when they serve a man together?" What she said did have some truth, and without any further stay, they went to Qiuyue's room instead.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Qiuyue crying in the room with rain in pear blossoms, and she looked very sad.

After seeing this scene, Shen Lian couldn't help but feel a little deliberate.

If you're sad, you can cry when no one is around, and no one will see it.

But after they came, Qiu Yue began to cry bitterly, but it seemed a little too deliberate.

After seeing someone come in, she looked a little overwhelmed, and quickly picked up the handkerchief in her hand and wiped away her tears.

"I'm really sorry to make you laugh."

"You're crying for the little concubine who died, aren't you?" Shen Lian asked deliberately.

Qiu Yue nodded, "I think he died too miserably, after all, the relationship between the two of us was relatively good before, so I am still sad and sad about her death." ”

After hearing this, Shen Lian asked again, "Then do you think she committed suicide or ......" Before the words were finished, Qiu Yue couldn't wait to answer.

"She's not going to kill herself, she told me she wants to live well, and besides, she wants to have a child of her own, how could she kill herself?" Although the two of them are good sisters, judging from the current situation, the concubine should not have told Qiu Yue about her pregnancy, and she should have deliberately concealed it.

However, judging from Qiu Yue's whole state, although she cried a little fake, since she was able to take the initiative to explain that the death of the concubine was not an accident, let alone a suicide, then the possibility of this matter having something to do with her is relatively small.

Because the death of the concubine, if it really has something to do with her, then there is no need for him to say that the death of the concubine is not suicide.

Since she can say this, it proves that she has no intention of failing herself, but proves her suspicion.

Shen Lian still asked the same question, "Then if you don't think she committed suicide, if someone else killed her, who do you think is the possibility?" Qiu Yue replied without thinking, "I think it's the Huang family, because she is jealous and thinks it will endanger her status in the main room, so it is very likely that she will do such a thing." ”

It's just speculation, but it's quite plausible.

There are only four wives and concubines in total, and now one person has died, and there are three people left, and these three people still suspect each other to form a circle.

This case is not as easy to solve as the ones I have encountered before, and the difficulty has increased a lot.

But even so, Shen Lianren just didn't mean to give up, and felt that he had to continue to investigate, and he couldn't just forget it.

It's just that in the current situation, anyone is a little possible, but it seems that the motivation is not too obvious.

While Shen Lian was thinking about this matter, Chu Xi, who was standing on the side, had a little idea in his heart.

The reason why he took Shen Lian was because he heard that she was a particularly capable master of solving cases, so he specially invited her over.

But now it seems to be a bit exaggerated, she did ask a lot of important things, and got a lot of clues that they didn't ask before, but this didn't seem to help the case, and the death of the concubine still became a big mystery.

Especially now that Shen Lian doesn't say anything, he just stands there thinking by himself, and he doesn't know if he really has any ideas, or if he is playing tricks.

After staying for a while, Chu Xi felt that there was probably no progress if it went on like this, so it was better to go back first, so as not to find out nothing at that time and slap himself in the face.

"I think I have something else to do, you guys investigate first, I'll go back first."

Without waiting for them to answer, Chu Xi left directly.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Shen Lian sighed helplessly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Yin Chen, who was on the side, hugged his arms and said thoughtfully, "It seems that he thinks that you don't have any strength, and if you continue to stay, it will be a waste of time, so he left directly." ”

"Whatever."

Shen Lian had an indifferent expression.

Anyway, what others think of her, she never cares, and she doesn't care, because she can't control what other people think, rather than lingering, it's better not to care, and she can make her heart more comfortable, and it won't be so uncomfortable.

However, this matter is indeed a bit strange at the moment, and we have to find a way to find out the real murderer.

Suddenly, Song Qi thought of a way, before leaving, she told Sun Yuanwai that this matter should be suicide, and left after speaking.

However, she didn't leave with Yin Chen like this, but stayed in an inn in the city.

For Shen Lian's actions, Yin Chen, who was following him, was particularly incomprehensible.

"Why are you doing this? Are there any other plans? Shen Lian nodded, "Yes, I do have other plans, the clues are limited, just ask like this, I'm afraid I can't ask anything, it's better for us to direct a scene, let's prepare it today, and then call the prefect of Chu, when the time comes, I believe that the murderer will take the initiative to admit everything." ”

The murderer voluntarily confessed everything? Yin Chen really couldn't understand what she meant.

But looking at her confident appearance, she must have a plan in her heart, otherwise, she would never be like this.

stayed at the inn for one night, and Shen Lian didn't think too much about the death of this concubine.

Because as long as it is a murderer, then it will definitely be weak-hearted, no matter how calm it is on the surface, but once it comes to an emotional breakdown, it will be difficult to accept.

And they just want to seize this opportunity, and then let the murderer speak out himself, and then the case can be completely solved.

And her plans and plans, Yin Chen didn't know, and she didn't ask anything, since she was full of confidence, it depends on what she will do next.

The next morning, they went directly to find the prefect Chuxi.

Seeing that they were coming again, Chu Xi no longer had the same happy state as he did when he first met yesterday, but was deliberately a little lazy.

"Why are you here again? Is there a new discovery? Or, caught the murderer? Knowing that he asked this on purpose, Shen Lian didn't mind too much, but calmly told him.

"It's the same now as yesterday when you left, and we don't have anything new to discover."

Hearing this, Chu Xi's face instantly drooped, and it could be seen that he was unhappy.

Seeing this, Shen Lian continued, "However, I have a way to let the murderer take the initiative to stand up, explain everything, and tell all the stories of his killing." ”
