Chapter 19: Lingyu (1)
Mengyun took out the jade pendant and shook it lightly in front of Lingyu's eyes, trying to ask in a gentle tone: "Lingyu, take a good look, is this your jade pendant?" ”
Lingyu just glanced at it, she shook her head, and whispered, "It's not mine." ”
Zi Yan took Lingyu's hand, comforted her softly, and said, "Lingyu, don't be afraid, Mengyun just wants to chat with you." Take a good look at it, is this jade pendant your piece? ”
Lingyu glanced at it again and replied with certainty: "It's not mine." ”
Zi Yan asked her: "I remember that your jade pendant seems to be similar to this jade pendant, can you take out your jade pendant and let me see it." ”
Lingyu hurriedly lowered her head, she looked at her toes, and said resignedly: "My jade pendant was accidentally lost by me." ”
Zi Yan took the jade pendant from Mengyun's hand, stuffed it into Lingyu's hand, and said softly: "This is the piece you lost, I picked it up, you can take it back." ”
Lingyu shook her head first, and she thought for a moment. As if he had made up his mind, he grabbed the jade pendant tightly with his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”
She turned around and was about to leave......
Zi Yan grabbed her and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I have a few words I want to ask you." ”
Lingyu didn't squeak......
Zi Yan continued: "This jade pendant was found in Chun Tao's wardrobe, how could your jade pendant be in her closet?" ”
Lingyu thought for a while and replied, "I lost my jade pendant, maybe it was picked up by Chun Tao, so she put it in the closet." ”
Mengyun thought to herself, "Lingyu's answer doesn't have any loopholes, this little girl usually doesn't like to talk, she is thoughtful, and she is not easy to deal with!" ”
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and asked Lingyu: "If it is usual, I must believe your words." But now it's different! You also know that Chun Tao was killed, and the murderer is in the 'Fengyue Tower'. Then your jade pendant appeared in Chun Tao's wardrobe, should you explain it well. ”
Lingyu accentuated her tone: "I said it, my jade pendant was accidentally lost, and it was picked up by Chun Tao again, as for why she put the jade pendant in the closet, how can I know, what is the explanation for this." ”
Lingyu's mouth was very strict, and it didn't seem easy to get her to tell the truth. However, this also shows that even if Chun Tao's death has nothing to do with her, she must know something, what should she do to make her say what is in her heart? ”
Thinking of this, Mengyun smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't seem like it's!" It should be that you hid it in Chun Tao's closet, and the jade pendant was accidentally left there by you. ”
Hearing Mengyun say this, Lingyu's body trembled violently, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I haven't been to Chun Tao's room." ”
Mengyun's voice became a little harsh, and she said, "This jade pendant is enough to prove that you have been to her room." ”
Dongmei interjected in a lark-like voice: "Lingyu, if you lie, there are only two possibilities. 1. You are the murderer who killed Chun Tao. Second, you are hiding the real murderer. ”
Although Dongmei's voice was beautiful, her words were as sharp as a knife, and every sentence pierced Lingyu's heart.
Hearing Dongmei say this, Lingyu cried out at once, and she sobbed and said, "I'm not a murderer, I didn't kill Chun Tao." ”
Seeing Dongmei's words to Lingyu, Mengyun thought in her heart, "It's amazing! One sentence hit the point, it turns out that the gentleness of the appearance can be pretended. Could it be that Sister Ah is a tigress dressed in a giant rabbit skin? ”
Thinking of Sister A jumping around in rabbit skin, Mengyun couldn't help it, and she let out a smirk of "hey, hey, hey......".
Dongmei heard Mengyun's laughter, she looked at Mengyun like a fool and said, "What's so funny? It's your turn, you ask her? ”
Mengyun quickly adjusted her expression, and she asked, "Oh, that Lingyu, let me ask you." On the night of Aunt Feng's birthday, after you sent Xia He back to her room, did you go back to your room soon, or did you spend the night in Xia He's room? ”
Lingyu replied without thinking, "I'm going back to my room for the night." ”
Zi Yan couldn't help but interject: "Lingyu, how can you lie? Don't forget, I live next door to you, can I not know if you go back to the room? ”
Lingyu's face flushed slightly, she hurriedly changed her words, and said, "Yes, I spent the night in Xia He's room. But I didn't go out in my room that night! ”
Mengyun shook his head, sighed, and said, "Hey! Well, since you don't want to say it, then I'll say it for you. On the night of Aunt Feng's birthday, after you accompanied Xia He back to the room, you did not leave immediately, but waited with Xia He for Chun Tao to return to the room. As for why you waited for Chun Tao to return to the room, you know better than me. After Chun Tao returned to the room, Xia He went to Chun Tao's room, and you waited for her news in Xia He's room. After a while, Xia He returned. She tells you that Chun Tao has fallen asleep and now her door is open. You sneak into Chun Tao's room. You see Chun Tao lying on the bed as if she has fallen asleep, and you are going to poison her. At this time, Chun Tao's body moved, but she didn't open her eyes. You're afraid that she'll wake up and see you, so you quickly hide in her closet, and you want to wait until she's asleep before you do it. Your jade pendant was dropped at this time, but you don't know it. After a short while, Chun Tao let out a slight snoring sound. So, you quietly got out of the closet and walked to Chun Tao's bed. You see that she is really asleep, so you pull up Chun Tao's quilt and put it on her head. Then, you jumped on the bed and rode on top of her. You covered Chun Tao's mouth and nose with both hands, just to suffocate her. After only a short while, Chun Tao was silent. After you covered Chun Tao, you hurried back to Xia He's room. That night, you spent it with Xia He. Lingyu, Lingyu, your appearance is so delicate and thin, but your heart is so vicious, you really can't look good! You're so cruel! ”
After listening to Mengyun's words, Lingyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, what you said is not right, I didn't cover Chun Tao, and the person who killed Chun Tao was not me." ”
Dongmei caught the loophole in Lingyu's words in time, and she hurriedly asked, "Who is that person?" ”
Lingyu took a deep breath and replied in a panic: "I don't know who that person is!" ”
Mengyun sneered and continued to ask her: "Let me ask you again, did you go to Chun Tao's room on the night Chun Tao died?" ”
Lingyu lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "No." ”
She thought for a moment, and then said, "Chun Tao is taller than me, her body is stronger than me, and her strength is much greater than mine, how can I cover her to death?" ”
Mengyun said: "Chun Tao was drunk before she died, and she knocked her head unconscious again. The most important point is that Xia He also poured her with 'drugs'. If only you really couldn't kill her. But that night, it was easy for you to kill her. ”
Hearing the word 'drug', subtle beads of sweat appeared on Lingyu's forehead.
But she still said firmly: "Chun Tao really didn't kill me, believe it or not." ”
Mengyun shook his head, sighed lightly, and said, "Lingyu! I really didn't expect your mouth to be so hard. Do you know why Xia He has not been convicted until now? That's because Zhao Tianyou didn't have any evidence in Xia He's hands that he killed Chun Tao. Think about it, if I give this jade pendant to Zhao Tianyou, what kind of consequences will you have, you just wait to kneel in the prison car and be dragged to the execution ground to be beheaded! ”
Lingyu chose to remain silent......
Mengyun continued: "You are still so young, you are not willing to die like this! Are you really willing to take the place of the murderer to pay for Chun Tao's life? Even if you don't care about your own life, don't you think about Xia He? If you don't tell the truth again, then let Xia He stay in the cell. I don't believe it, your heart will be well. ”
Mengyun glanced at Dongmei and Ziyan, and said angrily: "Let's go, let her think about it here by herself." ”
Dongmei leaned on Mengyun's ear and whispered, "How do you know that Chun Tao has been drugged?" ”
Mengyun also leaned on Dongmei's ear and whispered, "I guessed." ”
Dongmei secretly pondered in her heart, "It's really amazing!" You can guess it, why didn't I think of it? ”
"Wait a minute."
Lingyu stopped Mengyun, and she asked tentatively, "If I say it, will you believe what I say?" ”
Mengyun said lightly: "You talk about it first, whether you believe it or not, I will analyze it myself." ”
Lingyu thought for a while, she let out a long breath and said, "Okay, I'll tell you everything I know." ”
Lingyu began to reminisce, "It was one night some time ago. I walked across from Chun Tao in the corridor of the front building, Chun Tao had just drunk at that time, and she was a little drunk. She stopped me with half-squinted eyes, and I said, 'Hello Sister Chuntao', she didn't say anything, just asked me to show her the jade pendant around my waist. I saw that she had just drunk, and I was a little afraid of her in normal times, so I obediently showed her the jade pendant. Who knew she wouldn't want to give it back to me after reading it. You know, that's my family's ancestral jade pendant! It's not worth much silver, but I won't give it to anyone. That jade pendant was also the only thing I brought out of the house. Chun Tao looked at it for a while, and then she said to me, 'I like this jade pendant very much, give you a tael of silver and sell it to me.' When I heard this, I was frightened, and hurriedly said to Chun Tao, "I can't sell it, it's my ancestral jade pendant." Chun Tao couldn't help but say, she forcefully stuffed me with a tael of silver, took my jade pendant and turned around and left. I hurried after him, trying to snatch the jade pendant back. Who knew that Chun Tao actually pushed me hard with the strength of the wine, and stepped forward and slapped me hard, which made my eyes black for a while. She said to me, 'You dead girl who doesn't know how to lift, don't you know who you are?' If you want to take the jade pendant back, you can! and redeem it for a hundred denarii. ”
