Chapter 80: Opening
In the dimly lit cell, Caiyun hung her head quietly, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.
Hearing the footsteps, she quickly looked up, and when she saw the black-clothed young man walking beside Lin Xiao, her face was stunned.
The so-called Lu Gongzi turned out to be a person in the official government!
"Miss Caiyun, tell me the reason for the warbler."
Lu Xuan's straight words made Caiyun's face change suddenly.
Lin Xiao, who came with him, did not say anything, and handed over the interrogation rhythm to his friends.
The victim's body was dug up by a friend, the flower boat was visited by a friend, and the flower girl was made by a friend. In terms of familiarity with this case, of course, it is a good friend.
"Should the slave family call you Lord Lu now?" Caiyun looked at Lu Xuan fixedly and asked.
Lu Xuan's tone was indifferent: "Whatever your name is, please answer the question." ”
Caiyun slowly burst out with a wry smile: "Is Lord Lu prejudiced against the slave family?" Come to think of it, the friend who accompanied you on the painting boat today is a girl, how can you be the one who lingers in the Jinshui River......"
Lin Xiao looked at his friend in shock.
"Don't talk so much nonsense."
Caiyun pursed her lips and her eyes reddened: "The slave family has said it a long time ago, Yingying has served the slave family for many years, and the slave family has always treated her like a sister, what reason is there to harm her?" Yingying obviously committed suicide by throwing herself into the river because she was unwilling to accept customers, but Lord Lu forced the slave family to admit that he was the murderer, could it be that the slave family offended the adult? ”
Lu Xuan sneered: "Don't exalt yourself, you haven't had a chance to offend me yet." Miss Caiyun is clever and eloquent, but unfortunately she doesn't know that she found drug residues in the corpse of Yingying. ”
Caiyun's complexion changed dramatically.
At this moment, all composure becomes vulnerable.
The reason why she was not shocked was that she was sure that no one would find out that Yingying's death was murder.
Obviously a person who drowned without any external injuries, why did this Lord Lu arouse his suspicions, and then found out the drug from Yingying's corpse?
Yes & ...... Is Tao Ming of Qingya Academy related?
Caiyun's heart was beating rapidly, and her palms were wet and full of cold sweat.
The young man's cold voice sounded again, and it fell into Caiyun's ears and became a bone scraper: "Now it is certain that Yingying was thrown into the water after being unconscious. Yesterday, Miss Bai Ri Caiyun said to the official that she had seen the warbler before going to bed, and your other maid Xiaoyan said the same. Yingying is a maid who serves you closely, who has the best chance to start at that time, don't I need to say more? ”
"I have no motive to harm the warbler! Besides, in addition to Yingying and Xiaoyan who slept with me! ”
"No, you have."
Caiyun looked at the young man with a face like ice and snow, and his heart fell.
"Miss Caiyun may have forgotten a sentence, there must be a demon when something goes wrong. Yingying was sold to Yunyu Xiaozhu at the age of seven or eight until she died at the age of seventeen, and she has always been doing maid work, and there is always a reason why she was suddenly selected by the bustard's mother to pick up customers. Just now, the bustard mother has already admitted that she listened to your inducement and picked the warbler! ”
After listening to Lu Xuan's words, Caiyun retorted: "The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional." I obviously just lamented that Yingying's bad luck was not good, how could I have thought that it would arouse my mother's thoughts. ”
"A good speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. One line pointing to you can be said to be a coincidence, two lines, three lines pointing to you, Miss Caiyun don't take others for fools. ”
Lin Xiao, who had not spoken, spoke at the right time: "Miss Caiyun, from the perspective of the investigation of the case, with these clues, I can already convict you." ”
The blood on Caiyun's face faded cleanly.
Of course she knew.
Not to mention that there are these clues, how many cases can be decided based on speculation alone.
"What about the motive, what reason do I have for harming the warbler?" Caiyun was not willing to struggle.
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Because of Tao Ming of Qingya Academy." ”
Caiyun's eyes tightened.
The young man raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Miss Caiyun doesn't really think that those words can fool people, right?" Tao Ming's family background is ordinary, but he is an outstanding figure in Qingya Academy, the teacher has high hopes, his classmates admire him, and the title of the gold list is just around the corner. Such a person met you, a flower girl who is not top-notch in Jinshui River, has an inferiority complex, does not dare to approach, and retreats to the second place and likes your little girl? ”
Knowing that Tao Ming and Yang Wen were not convinced by each other was enough for him to know that Tao Ming was arrogant, and he was by no means the kind of person who was inferior because of his family background.
Caiyun is still unconvinced: "According to what the adults say, if a man likes a woman, he only looks at her identity and appearance?" ”
Lu Xuan smiled: "Of course, for the purpose of marrying a wife, you won't just look at these surfaces, but is Miss Caiyun misunderstanding something, the man goes to Jinshui River for recreation, I don't see which flower girl is good-looking, whether playing the pipa is good, and who is honest and diligent?" ”
These words were merciless, causing Caiyun's face to be red and white.
Lu Xuan stared at Caiyun and said coldly: "It is you who have an intersection with Tao Ming, and Yingying, as your maid, is the one who speaks to you." ”
"Okay, even so, what am I going to do to the warbler?" Pressed step by step, Caiyun could no longer justify his relationship with Tao Ming.
"Because Tao Ming's drowning has something to do with you! And you hurt Tao Ming, it has something to do with the disappearance of the county lord of Yingyue! ”
As soon as these words came out, Caiyun trembled, and Lin Xiao was also taken aback.
What my friends are tracking down is a serial case, and even implicated in the disappearance of the county lord of Yingyue?
Lu Xuan stared at Caiyun intently: "The only one who knows about your past with Tao Ming is Yingying, when you notice that someone is looking for Yingying, you are afraid that Yingying will expose your secret, so you choose to borrow a knife to kill someone." Miss Caiyun, am I right? ”
Caiyun's face turned pale, and his breathing became heavier: "The slave family doesn't know what the adults are talking about." ”
"Killing Yingying is a capital crime, and admitting to murdering Tao Ming will not die a second time. Miss Caiyun can not say it, but since I have found out here, I will continue to investigate, even if I turn the Jinshui River upside down, I will find out the truth. ”
These words were like a hammer hitting Caiyun's heart, completely shattering her heart defense.
She hung her head, revealing her slender and fragile neck, and after a long time, she finally raised her head slowly, trembling her lips and said, "I said ......"
Lu Xuan and Lin Xiao glanced at each other and raised the corners of their lips.
In the dark and damp cell, a woman's faint voice sounded: "I got acquainted with Tao Gongzi three years ago, and he admired my singing voice very much, but because the autumn season was imminent, he didn't want to spread the reputation of having too close contacts with courtesans, so we have been secretly corresponding, and the one in charge of delivering the message is Yingying." Unexpectedly, one day, a guest who had been to Yunyu Xiaozhu a few times suddenly asked me to do something-"
"What's the matter?"
Caiyun struggled for a moment and said, "He asked me to tell Tao Gongzi a difficult problem, and tried to get Tao Gongzi to use this problem to provoke a Qingya Academy student named Yang Wen at some point. ”
"Since you had a good relationship with Tao Ming at that time, why did you do things for a guest who came a few times?"
Embarrassment flashed on Caiyun's face, and he paused and said, "That guest promised a lot of money, it's hard for me not to be moved......
