Chapter 20: Lingyu (2)

After a pause, Lingyu continued: "At that time, when I heard what Chun Tao said, my heart completely sank to the bottom. What else can I do? I'm just a little maid in this 'Fengyue Building', and even a little girl can bully me. And what about spring peaches! She is the number one sister here, how can I beat her, and Aunt Feng still likes her so much. When I got back to my room, I cried secretly for a long time, but I couldn't think of any way to get my jade pendant back. Early the next morning, I told Xia He about Chun Tao snatching my jade pendant. When Xia He heard this, she was very angry, but she couldn't often have a head-on conflict with Chun Tao. Later, I discussed with Xia He, since it was impossible to do it, it could only be a steal. So, I found an opportunity to get some drugs in the pharmacy outside. The next thing is to wait patiently, and when Chun Tao is drunk, find an opportunity to pour the drug on her. Then, secretly went to her room to steal the jade pendant back. On the night of Aunt Feng's birthday, Chun Tao was very happy and drank a lot of wine. Xia He whispered to me, 'Tonight is a good opportunity, but I can't miss it.' After the banquet, I helped Xia He back to the room. After a while, Chun Tao also returned to the room with the support of Liuzhu. Xia He pretended to be drunk, and she staggered over, while I waited in the room for her news. Soon, the sound of Xia He and Chun Tao's quarrel came from Chun Tao's room. I was anxious and worried about Xia He's safety, but I didn't dare to go over, so I could only walk back and forth in the room. After a while, Xia He returned. I saw that she was not hurt, and my hanging heart was relieved. As soon as Xia He returned to the room, he said to me anxiously, 'I accidentally injured Chun Tao just now, and I helped her to lie down on the bed. Then he poured her another cup of tea and secretly put the drug in it. She had drunk the tea, and now she had fallen asleep. You go to her room and get the jade pendant back, go and come back quickly. I hurried to Chun Tao's room and saw her lying on the bed without moving, as if she had fallen asleep. I had the courage to rummage through her room for my jade pendant. I first took a general look at the top of the dresser, then rummaged through the drawer underneath, and no! I walked to her closet, and as soon as I opened the closet door, I heard the sound of the door being opened, and someone came out. I'm afraid she's here to find Chun Tao, and if she sees me in Chun Tao's room, she won't be able to explain it clearly. So, I quickly got into the closet and closed the closet door again. As soon as I closed the closet door, the man walked in. I hid in the closet, and I didn't dare to come out, just because I was afraid that she would find me. I silently thought to myself, 'You can go quickly!' Let's go! Then I vaguely heard Chun Tao seem to say, 'Who are you?' ’。 Since the closet door was closed at that time, and Chun Tao's voice was very small, I couldn't hear it very clearly. Then I heard some strange noises on and off, and I didn't know what was going on, but I was scared. After a while, there was no sound in the room. I opened the wardrobe door gently and listened carefully, but there was really no sound. The room was quiet, and the silence was a little scary, as if an embroidery needle could be heard falling on the floor. It occurred to me that Chun Tao was drunk, and she drank drugs again. At this time, if she was sleepy, she would have snored! Even the slightest snoring. But she didn't seem to even have the sound to breathe. I had the courage to get out of the closet lightly. Suddenly, I saw that Chun Tao on the bed was actually covering her head with a quilt, and she was lying there quietly, not moving. I thought back to someone coming in, and then I heard strange noises, and I always felt that something was not right. Suddenly, I thought, Chun Tao, she covered her head with a quilt, isn't she afraid of the heat? Isn't it winter? Actually, I already had a terrible idea, but I couldn't believe it. I'd love to see if I'm right. So, I mustered up the courage to walk to Chun Tao's bed, reached out and slowly lifted a corner of her quilt......"

Speaking of this, Lingyu paused, and she took a few deep breaths before continuing......

"This action of mine was enough for me to regret for half a year, and my terrible idea was confirmed. Because I saw that Chun Tao's eyes were half-open, and her mouth was also half-open. This was not the expression of a living person, and it was clear that she had been killed. Her expression was so intimidating that I quickly let go of my hand holding the corner of the quilt, and the quilt quickly returned to its original position and covered her face again. I covered my mouth tightly with my other hand, and I was afraid that I would cry out. I let out a soft breath, quickly turned around, and tiptoed out. As for my jade pendant, I really don't have the courage to continue looking for it, so I should treat it as a gift to Chun Tao. When I got back to Xia He's room, I quickly closed the door and leaned myself against the door. I breathed heavily, and my heart was beating so fast. Xia He saw that my face was not right, and knew that something must have happened to me. She told me to sit down and take a break, and then talk slowly. I calmed down for a while, feeling better and less scared. I hurriedly told Xia He what happened just now in detail. Xia He heard me say that Chun Tao was killed, and she was also very scared. I don't know what to do. After a long while, Xia He and I slowly began to discuss, discussing what we should do next. In the end, the result of our discussion was, 'One, I don't know what to do now, and as for Chun Tao's body, let someone else find it.' Second, you can't say anything about the drug to anyone, otherwise Xia He and I will be in trouble. 3. Don't mention to anyone that I have been to Chun Tao's room. Fourth, don't mention my jade pendant to anyone, if anyone asks, just say that I accidentally lost it. Fifth, I'm going to stay with Xia He for the night tonight, because Chun Tao's corpse is now parked next door! Xia He is even more scared than me. This night, Xia He and I didn't sleep because we weren't in the mood to sleep. The two of us sat stupidly in the chair all the time, and we didn't know what would happen to Xia He and I after Chun Tao's body was discovered. It didn't take long for dawn to fall. Soon, there was a shout from next door, which was the sound of Chun Tao's body being found. I went to the door and put my ear to the door, and I heard the sound of people running up the stairs, one, two, three ....... It's been a long time since so many people have come to the 'Wind Moon Pavilion'. Xia He opened the door, and she stood in the doorway, pretending to have just woken up. I hid behind the door and kept my eyes on Natsuho's hand. At this time, no one went upstairs, and the people in the corridor focused their attention on Chun Tao's room. Xia He put her hand behind her back and hooked her finger at me, I understood that she was asking me to walk out after her. Xia He pretended to be watching the excitement and walked over first. And I pretended to have just come up the stairs, and no one saw me coming out of Xia He's room. Xia He heard that everyone was saying that Chun Tao was dead, and she quickly cried, pretending to be very scared. I didn't understand it at first, but I quickly figured it out. Last night, Xia He asked Chun Tao to quarrel, and it was impossible for Dong Mei next door not to hear it. Later, Xia He was taken away by the people of the government, and I was like losing my backbone, and I was messing around every day, not knowing what to do. Ever since Aunt Feng asked you to handle this case, I knew that you would definitely come to me, and I couldn't hide from it. It's just that I didn't expect you to come to me so quickly. ”

After Lingyu finished speaking, she let out a long breath......

She should feel a lot more relaxed now!

Mengyun scratched her head, and she asked Lingyu, "Chun Tao said before she was killed, 'Who are you?' 'Can you be sure?' ”

Lingyu shook her head and said, "I really didn't hear clearly, because Chun Tao's voice was too small. ”

Mengyun then asked, "After that person came in, did you look out through the gap in the closet?" ”

Lingyu nodded and said, "I saw it, but I couldn't see anything." The gap in the wardrobe was already small, and it was a big night, and the light in the room was so dim that if it was during the day, you might still be able to see something. ”

Mengyun continued to ask, "Do you remember how many flower candles were lit on the table?" ”

Lingyu replied, "There is only one." I guess that's a bead. ”

Mengyun asked again: "As soon as you opened the wardrobe door, you heard the sound of the door being opened, and someone walked out. Can you confirm that? ”

Lingyu nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course you can!" And from the direction from which the sound came, I think it should be the sound of Qiulan's door being opened. ”

"What? What did you say? You can't be mistaken, right? ”

Zi Yan's eyes widened instantly.

Dongmei said to Zi Yan: "Zi Yan, calm down. ”

Lingyu let out a long breath and said, "What I said is that I heard the sound of Qiulan's door being opened, and a person walked out. As for who came out, I don't know. ”

Mengyun touched her chin, she nodded, and said, "I understand." ”

Dongmei raised her eyebrows, shook her head again, and said softly: "I really didn't expect it!" It would have been her. ”

I saw that Zi Yan cried out with a "wow" and said, "Impossible, impossible, you must be mistaken." ”

Then, without looking back, she ran to her room......
