Chapter 54: Investigation

"The person pushing me is not tall, it should be a girl." Du Yanwan remembered something at this time and spoke.

Her words removed the possibility of the men present murdering her, and also lowered the scope, and there were only three women left at the scene, their shoes stained with mud.

"Tell me how the wet mud on your shoes came from?"

The three women looked a little nervous, and when they heard this, one of them hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness, although I stepped on this mud by the lake, I didn't stand by Miss Shen's side at all when Miss Shen fell into the water, someone can testify for me!" ”

As the woman's words fell, someone nodded.

The woman's suspicion was lifted, and there were only two people left at the scene, one of the two women was the one who pushed Du Yanwan, and both of them looked a little faintly uneasy.

"Tell me about each other."

So the two of them said, but they seem to have legitimate reasons, and they won't be the murderers who pushed Du Yanwan!

Everyone was puzzled now, who among the two of them was the one who harmed Miss Shen?

Just as they were puzzled, they saw Zhai Yeqi slowly walking in front of a woman in the crowd.

"Lord Zhai, what are you doing here?"

"yes, why did you walk towards that girl?"

"That girl seems to be the young lady from the Zhao family, Zhao Yan."

"She's lucky, she can let Lord Zhai take the initiative to approach."

A woman said, a hint of jealousy crossed her eyes.

Zhai Yeqi is a famous talent in the capital, who doesn't know his attitude towards women? has always been cold, will not take the initiative to approach, will not take the initiative to speak, even if a woman takes the initiative to post it, he will directly refuse.

A person like him, upright, talented, and handsome, has long been a candidate for the wishful husband in the hearts of the daughters of the capital, and Lord Zhai's backyard is clean, there are no concubines and no rooms, whoever marries him will definitely go through eight lifetimes of luck!

Therefore, the women were extremely jealous of Zhao Yan who let Zhai Yeqian take the initiative to approach.

Zhao Yan saw the man in Xuanyi walking towards her, a faint crimson appeared on her face, and she looked at Zhai Yeqian with some restraint.

Zhai Yeqian had already stopped at a distance of three steps away from Zhao Yan, and as soon as his hand was flipped, a butterfly hairpin appeared in his hand, Zhai Yeqian looked straight at Zhao Yan, and his thin lips opened lightly, "This girl, this hairpin is yours." ”

Zhao Yan was caught off guard and looked at Zhai Yeqi's gaze, cold, without a trace of emotion, as if she had already seen through everything.

Frightened, her heart was suddenly a rin, her expression was a little flustered, she touched her head, and found that the hairpin had indeed fallen, she was still hesitant to admit that the hairpin was her own, but her subconscious actions had exposed the fact that the hairpin was hers, so she had to admit, "It's mine, I didn't expect to be found by Lord Zhai, thank you." ”

Zhao Yan said that she wanted to reach out and take the hairpin back, but Zhai Yeqian didn't let Zhao Yan touch it.

"This hairpin can't be given to a girl."

"Why?"

"This hairpin is not necessarily the girl's, if someone comes to me later, I can't explain, the girl wants to get this hairpin back, why don't you tell me where I lost this hairpin?"

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she seemed to think for a long time before she said, "I don't remember......"

"Then I'll help the girl reminisce about her memories."

"The girl is standing in the crowd of onlookers with this butterfly hairpin, probably standing in this position." Zhai Yeqi said and slowly walked to a position, on which there was obviously a small footprint.

After Zhao Yan saw it, her face turned pale, and the hand hidden under her sleeve clenched unconsciously.

"Miss Shen was standing in this position at that time." Zhai Yeqian said and walked to the side again, leaving some traces on it as usual.

After Zhai Yeyan said this, Du Yanwan gradually had the picture of that time in his mind.

"You saw that Miss Shen didn't pay attention, so you reached out and pushed Miss Shen, and then Miss Shen fell into the water, and you shouted."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think of the picture at that time, someone did shout, and that voice seemed to be really similar to Zhao Yan.

"Then the crowd panicked, and you took advantage of the panicked crowd to move away from where you were and pushed this girl to the place where you were standing." Zhai Yeqi said and pointed to a woman present who had wet mud on her shoes.

The woman recalled that someone did push herself at that time, but she was always worried about Shen Lian's falling into the water at that time, where did she pay attention to this?

"But you didn't expect that under such a big movement of you, the hairpin on your head was shaken off, and it probably fell in this position." Zhai Yeqian pointed to a place as he spoke, the tender grass on it was indeed crooked by something, and the traces left around him were indeed like hairpins and other things.

So, it was Zhao Yan who pushed Miss Shen into the water?

Everyone looked at Zhao Yan one after another.

Zhao Yan gritted her teeth with hatred one second, and changed into a weak appearance the next second, with tears in her eyes, "Lord Zhai, I don't, I don't know what you're talking about...... "It looks like she has been bullied and she is powerless to resist, looking pitiful.

Some people can't bear it.

"Is this a misunderstanding, just from a butterfly hairpin, you can see so many problems?"

"Yes, is Lord Zhai's guess wrong?"

Of course, some people couldn't help but sneer, "There are so many traces on the scene, just let her step on the footprints." ”

"That is, there are so many traces on the scene, there will always be clues."

Zhao Yan stood in the crowd with a pale face, her body shaky in the face of different voices.

"She is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, I am afraid that you will have a bad impact on her by doing this, so how can you marry in the future?"

"We also let her clear the suspicion as soon as possible, if it is really not her, what harm can it do to her reputation?"

The people at the scene were divided into two factions and argued.

"I thought about it, I smelled a burst of wood incense, and the person who pushed me must have brought a sachet of incense, or used the incense of a wood tree, in short, he must have the fragrance of wood on his body."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Yan's waist, and saw that there was indeed a sachet hanging on her waist.

"I remember that Zhao Yan does have a scent of wood on her body, could it really be her hand?"

"I don't know my heart but I don't know my heart, I didn't expect a woman who looks weak to be so vicious."

Everyone, you and I said word by word, Zhao Yan's expression became more and more ugly, but she still didn't want to admit that she did it herself, "I, I don't, it's not me, I have no reason to push Miss Shen." ”

Yes, everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, Zhao Yan and Shen Lian didn't know each other at all, what reason did she have to push Shen Lian?

So what's the truth of the matter?

"Who said you have no reason, you have."

Zhai Yeqi's words made everyone stunned, where was the reason, why didn't they see it?

"Lord Zhai, I know that you judge the case like a god, but why do you want to target me several times, I am a weak woman......

Zhao Yan cried as she spoke.

"Is it for you to know in your own heart?" Zhai Yeqian said indifferently.

"Since you said that I deliberately targeted you, then you can explain where the Dongzhu on your head came from?"

Zhai Yeqi's words drew everyone's attention to the hairpin on Zhao Yan's head, which was extremely simple, with only an eastern pearl on it as a decoration.

Dongzhu is a large and extremely round pearl, the nobles in the capital like it, so the price is naturally outrageously expensive, Zhao Yan, as the unfavored concubine of the Zhao family, where did she get the silver to buy herself a Dongzhu hairpin?

And the Zhao family is not rich, even if Lord Zhao favors Zhao Yan, he will not be willing to buy her such a hairpin, so where did the hairpin on Zhao Yan's head come from?

Could it be that she was bought by someone and wanted to murder Shen Lian?

Everyone has always felt that this statement makes sense, and Zhao Yan was bought, so she deliberately pushed Shen Lian into the water.

Zhao Yan didn't expect that because of a Dongzhu hairpin, she would expose herself to everyone's sight, she originally wanted to deliberately show off, how can she explain it?

It is said that his father bought it, but who doesn't know the financial resources of the Zhao family? Even if she said it, no one would believe it! If you say that someone else gave it, who should you say?

Which girl's family can be so generous?

Thinking about it this way, in fact, there are not many of them in the capital, and even if there are, they must not be familiar with Zhao Yan.

So it will definitely not be given to her by another girl, then it is the son of another family, if she says it, wouldn't she openly admit that she has a private relationship with another man?

If this thing gets out, how will she marry in the future?

So Zhao Yan was hesitant and couldn't say a word.

Everyone couldn't say a word when they saw that Zhao Yan was hesitant, but in fact, they had already believed Zhai Yeqi's words for seven or eight points. This is Zhao Yan's motive, otherwise with her identity, how could she wear Dongzhu?

But Zhao Yan herself knew what the consequences of attempted murder would be, so she didn't admit that the Dongzhu on her head was given to her by someone else in order to buy her, she quibbled: "This ...... I picked it up, yes, I picked it up! ”

Although it is not right to pick up something and not tell others or return it to the owner, she would rather choose the former than the attempted murder. Do they have any definite evidence that Dongzhu was accepted by her, as long as she insists that she picked it up, see how they can tolerate her?!

However, her idea is still too simple, because the tenth prince has never been a person who plays cards according to common sense, and this matter involves his interests, so he naturally wants to take the initiative to clear it up, and now that people have arrived in front of him, how can he let it go?

"Whether you picked it up or got it from somewhere else, this hall believes that you will naturally confess when you enter the prison." The Ten Princes said in a light tone.

Zhao Yan's face turned pale when she heard this, she didn't expect that the Ten Princes would send her to the heavenly prison!

What is that place?
