Chapter 24: Qiulan (3)

Mengyun stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said with a hippie smile: "Beauty is beauty, even the appearance of being angry is so beautiful, the beauty makes people feel intoxicated, and the beauty makes people want to sleep." ”

Dongmei slapped the table hard and said loudly: "Can you be a little serious, if you say these useless things, I'll kick you away." ”

Mengyun covered her mouth and smiled......

After a while she let out a long sigh and said, "Hey! I really didn't expect that! The case of 'Chun Tao' is more complicated than I imagined. Xia He is not a murderer, Lingyu is not a murderer, and even the first beauty of 'Fengyue Tower' is not a murderer. If Qiulan is no longer the murderer, it will be really troublesome. ”

Dongmei comforted her and said, "You can rest assured!" Qiulan must be the murderer, don't think about it anymore. If you want me to say, the most important thing now is to find the evidence of Qiulan's murder first, and with the evidence, I am not afraid that she will not admit her guilt. ”

Mengyun shook his head and said pessimistically: "If Qiulan is not the murderer, then it is impossible for us to find evidence of her murder." Besides, Chun Tao's room hasn't been turned over, so how can there be any evidence! ”

Dongmei put her mouth close to Mengyun's ear and lowered her voice and said, "We should find a way to find an opportunity to go to Qiulan's room and rummage through it carefully." ”

Mengyun thought about it and said, "I always feel that Qiulan doesn't seem to be a murderer. You say, she and Chun Tao have no grievances, and she won't get any benefits when Chun Tao dies? What was she doing to kill people at such a risk? I really don't understand, do you? ”

Hearing Mengyun say this, Dongmei was really a little angry. Her face changed in an instant, and she saw her eyes widen, and she said in a loud voice, "Why do you always think that she is not a murderer?" Lingyu has already made it very clear. The person who came out of Qiulan's room wasn't her, who else could it be? ”

Mengyun saw that Dongmei was really a little angry, she showed a very frightened look, and asked tentatively in a very small voice, "Is it possible that Qiulan is good?" ”

Dongmei's face softened a little, turning into a wicked smile, "Hello?" No way. I think it's your good look! His name is Zhang Erbao. ”

Mengyun smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, don't always mention Zhang Erbao, you listen to me explain to you......"

Dongmei interrupted her with a smile, "What do you explain after you have received all the 'concentric knots'?" I don't need to explain, I understand everything. Ah! It seems that I, who is a sister, will have to prepare a lot of dowry for you in advance, otherwise, you will be angry when you marry into the Zhang family in the future. Hahaha! ”

Mengyun scratched her head, and she said hesitantly: "I, I, I, you, don't deliberately anger me like this!" ”

Dongmei said seriously: "Although this Zhang Erbao doesn't have any silver, and he doesn't have a good future, he is long, and he is not very good-looking, but he is still relatively honest, and I am relieved to hand you over to him." ”

Mengyun pretended to be angry, she twisted her head to the side, "I don't look like a sister at all, I'm really too lazy to pay attention to you." ”

"Hahaha!"

Dongmei suddenly felt in a good mood, she cleared her throat and said, "I'm going to recite a poem for you now, you can listen to it for me." Mengyun fell in love with Zhang Erbao and wanted to accompany him to old age, everyone said that it was very good, and Mengyun turned around angrily and ran. 'How?' ”

Dongmei herself laughed and bent over......

Mengyun grinned, and she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister! You call this poetry, huh? Ay! ”

At this time, Zi Yan ran in in a panic......

She looked anxious and shouted loudly: "Mengyun, Sister Dongmei, something is wrong." Qiulan was just about to run away when she was caught by the little guys. It's locked up in the backyard firewood room right now! What to do? ”

Meng Yun stood up suddenly, and quickly asked, "Why did Qiulan run away?" ”

Zi Yan said anxiously: "I don't know either? Now Aunt Feng is interrogating her! ”

Mengyun grabbed Dongmei's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and see the excitement!" ”

Backyard firewood room.

Aunt Feng was standing in front of Qiu Lan.

Her face was coated with a thick layer of rouge powder, her figure was slightly fat, and her lips were smeared like ripe cherries, delicate. She piled up her temples in the shape of a cloud, and a golden hairpin was stuck diagonally on it.

Seeing her grooming today, Mengyun remembered the illustration 'Dominatrix' from a mythological novel, and she couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart.

At this moment, Aunt Feng pinched her waist with both hands, looking angry......

Behind her, several sisters and servants were pointing at Qiulan, whispering something......

Qiulan was tied to a worn chair with a thick hemp rope.

Her hair was slightly messy, and her beautiful face was a little haggard. She now looks like a down-and-out phoenix, no longer as radiant as she used to be.

I saw her sobbing softly while pleading bitterly to Aunt Feng: "Please, you can do it, let me go!" I'm young, I don't want to die here, I haven't lived enough! ”

Qiulan's eyes were full of tears, and the appearance of wanting to flow was really unbearable. But she seems to have forgotten that what she is facing now is not the guests she faces on weekdays, but her mother 'Aunt Feng' in the 'Fengyue Building'. Aunt Feng has lived in the 'Fengyue Tower' for so many years, it can be said that she has seen any kind of beauty, and she will not have any sympathy for Qiulan's pitiful appearance at all.

"Whew!"

I saw Aunt Feng first spit on the ground with a mouthful of thick phlegm, and glanced at her with contempt, and then said with a cold face, "In 'Fengyue Tower', running away is my bottom line, you touched my bottom line, how could I let you go?" Don't dream of your autumn dreams. If you really want to leave, I won't keep you, please redeem your 'deed of sale' first. When you have freedom, you can go wherever you want. But don't forget, pay me back the money you owe me. ”

When Qiulan heard the word 'silver', she was like a deflated ball, and she instantly deflated. I saw her crying with a sad face, and said: "I really don't have any money in my hand now, and I lost my bet in the gambling house some time ago." ”

Hearing this, Mengyun pondered in his heart, "Oh, it turns out that this Qiulan still has a bad habit of gambling!" ”

I only heard Aunt Feng start to count Qiulan loudly, "Where can you run without silver?" How do you live outside? Can you wait to starve to death? What else would you do besides being funny? It's stupid. ”

Qiulan sighed, she knew that she was wrong, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

Mengyun walked over quietly, she gently pulled the corner of Aunt Feng's clothes, and asked quietly, "Aunt Feng!" What the hell is going on? Why did she run away? ”

Aunt Feng saw that it was Mengyun coming, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and her anger was a little less than just now. She replied lightly: "Chun Tao was killed, she was afraid." She always felt that the murderer's next person was going to kill her, so she ran away, which really me off. ”

Mengyun inadvertently glanced at Qiu Lan, and she saw a hint of cunning flash in Qiu Lan's eyes......

She secretly pondered in her heart, "It seems that Qiulan must have a secret in her heart, and it is related to Chun Tao." How do you open your mouth so that she can speak her heart? ”

Thinking of this, she slowly approached and stared at Qiu Lan's eyes with her eyes, as if she wanted to see through Qiu Lan's thoughts at a glance.

I only heard her ask softly in a gentle tone, "Sister Qiulan, how do you know that the murderer's next person is going to kill you is you?" ”

Qiulan didn't dare to look directly at Mengyun's gaze, as if she had done something wrong, she quickly lowered her head and whispered, "I guessed." Three years ago, my sister Qiuju was pushed into a well by bad people and drowned. Half a year ago, Dongmei's previous maid Huaxiang also drowned in that well, as for who pushed her down, no one knows, her death is unknown. Now Chun Tao has been killed again, and now I don't even know who the murderer is, and I don't know who the next person to be killed is? ”

Mengyun smiled lightly, and she asked, "That's really strange, how do you know that the next person will be killed?" Even if the next person is killed, it doesn't have to be you, right? What do you have to be afraid of? As for running away? Besides, your 'deed of sale' is here, where can you go? ”

Qiulan seemed to be stimulated by something, but she suddenly widened her eyes, and said in a loud voice, "Do you know? In fact, the murderer who killed Chun Tao is in the 'Wind Moon Pavilion', do you think I can not be afraid? ”

Hearing Qiulan say this, Mengyun nodded in agreement.

She raised her hand, pointed her index finger at Qiulan's face, and said, "You're right! The murderer is indeed in the 'Fengyue Pavilion', because the murderer who killed Chun Tao is none other than you. ”

Hearing Mengyun's words, Qiu Lan panicked suddenly, and she immediately retorted: "How can the murderer be me?" You don't talk nonsense in front of so many people. ”

Mengyun smiled lightly, and she asked lightly, "The real reason why you ran away is not because you are afraid of being killed, but because you are afraid of being caught." Actually, you already guessed that I was going to find you soon, right? ”

Qiulan shook her head and replied: "It doesn't matter if you look for me or not, Chun Tao was killed and I have nothing to do with it, don't pull it on me." ”

Mengyun raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "How can it have nothing to do with you?" Let me ask you, did you hear the quarrel between her and Xia He on the night Chun Tao died? ”

Qiulan raised her head, she looked at Mengyun with a pair of big watery eyes, and said angrily, "I heard it." So what can I do, Dongmei still heard it! ”

Mengyun continued to ask her: "Since you heard the quarrel, did you go out of the room to see the excitement?" ”

Qiulan shook her head and replied, "No, what does the two of them have to do with the quarrel with me, I'm too lazy to watch the excitement!" That night, I was drunk. When I got back to my room, I lay in bed and didn't go out all night. ”

Mengyun closed his eyes gently......

It seems that Qiulan is lying, what can I do to make her tell the truth? It's a little hard! ’

Soon, she opened her eyes.

I saw that she stretched out her tender white fingers and gently rubbed her temples, and then asked Qiulan: "As soon as Chun Tao and Xia He finished arguing, someone heard the sound of your door being opened, and then a mysterious figure walked out of your room, and then Chun Tao was killed." If I'm not mistaken, this mysterious figure must be you, right? ”
