Chapter 138: Layout, leading the snake out of the hole
Hearing this, Fan Yichen and Aunt Ji were slightly stunned at first, but they didn't dare to have any delay, hurriedly put down the things in their hands for the time being, turned around, and quickly surrounded them.
Approached Ji Xiaoyou, the three heads were gathered together, looked carefully, and looked at the strip of cloth in Ji Xiaoyou's hand.
Different from Fan Yijian's unexplained expression, Aunt Ji frowned after carefully looking at it a few times, and subconsciously spat out: "This is ......"
I have doubts, and I want to stop talking.
At that time, it was very successful in attracting the attention of Ji Xiaoyou and Fan Yichen. I saw that the two of them had a look of anticipation on their faces, and for a moment, they stared at her deadly.
"Aunt Ji, do you know what this strip of cloth is?"
As soon as she raised her hand, Ji Xiaoyou raised the strip of cloth in her hand to her eyes, and asked with concern.
Seeing this, Aunt Ji did not respond immediately, but after raising her eyes and looking at her deeply, she reached out and took the strip of cloth in her hand.
Pinch it on your fingertips, and take a closer look while gently swaying.
After making sure that it was correct, Aunt Ji raised her head, looked at Ji Xiaoyou and Fan Yichen, and said firmly: "Look at the texture and pattern of this cloth, it should be from the new workwear made for the maid in our manor." And, according to the classification of the work class, the deceased is not allowed to wear this kind of overalls. ”
When the end of the note landed, Aunt Ji obviously couldn't hide the joy in her tone.
"That is to say! It is very likely that this small strip of cloth was accidentally left behind by the murderer when he committed the poison. ”
After the words fell, Fan Yichen raised his head, and after glancing at each other meaningfully with Ji Xiaoyou, he followed Aunt Ji's voice and continued.
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyou's eyes immediately lit up, and he didn't expect that in the midst of the puzzle, he suddenly saw a rare and valuable light, and he turned around, and there was actually a great breakthrough.
With this small strip of rag, the scope of suspicion was narrowed down a lot. In this manor, all the maids who can wear this new uniform are registered.
"Young master, young grandmother, what should we do next?"
After taking in the expressions of the two of them, Aunt Ji, who had experienced this kind of thing for the first time, felt her blood boiling, and she was busy asking about the specific actions of the next step.
"Hit the grass and scare the snake!"
"Lead the snake out of the hole!"
After the words fell, Ji Xiaoyou and Fan Yichen raised their heads at the same time, the corners of their lips seemed to rise upward, and after glancing at each other, they had a clear heart and said in unison.
At the same time, in the same sharp eyes, the dark light loomed, full of deep meaning, and after colliding together, it was forcefully stirred into a ......
"Quick! Come out, all of them go to the hall! ”
After a while, Aunt Ji rushed into the subordinate room with a kind of black-clothed bodyguard, and all the maids who could be assigned such uniforms were assembled.
Then, with some unkind attitude, shouting loudly and squinting angrily, he drove the men in the direction of the hall.
Suddenly, for a while, people turned on their backs, and all the maids didn't know what was happening, and their faces turned pale with fright, not to mention how ugly it was.
"All stand up!"
After coming to the hall, Aunt Ji, supported by all the black-clothed bodyguards, pinched her waist with both hands, and shouted loudly in a calm voice.
Not angry, full of chill.
Immediately, all the maids trembled slightly, silent, and didn't even dare to come out, hurriedly bowed their heads, and stood up in line at a very fast speed.
At the edge of the stairs on the second floor, Fan Yichen and Ji Xiaoyou hugged each other tightly, his powerful arms wrapped around her slender waist, and most of her delicate body leaned into his arms. Lowering his head and lowering his eyes, he stared coldly at the scene below.
After a while, the corners of Fan Yi's thin lips rose upward, without any warning, and then he opened his mouth and scolded angrily: "Ben Shao has been here for so long, Ben Shao has not found out that among you, there are such wolf ambitions and crazy people. Actually...... Cruel to the point of killing colleagues! ”
When the last sentence landed, the volume suddenly increased a little, full of a thick chill, and there was a loud sound.
At the same time, Fan Yichen raised his palm again, increased his strength, and slapped the staircase handrail angrily.
Suddenly, as if a stone stirred up a thousand waves, all the maids were taken aback, and they all raised their heads in disbelief, looking at each other, not to mention how wonderful their expressions were.
After the sharp pupils narrowed slightly, and the dark gaze swept over the maids one by one, Fan Yichen swept the corner of his eyes, and glanced meaningfully at Aunt Ji, who was standing on the side downstairs.
After receiving the signal, the other party immediately understands.
After raising his arm and the strip of cloth in his hand, he said loudly: "Just now, after careful inspection by the young master, the young grandmother, and the three of us, we found this at the scene of the murder. As you should know, this strip of cloth is from the new overalls. Therefore, the murderer is among you. Now I'm giving you a chance, who did it to take the initiative to stand up, so as to get a leniency, do you hear me? ”
One word at a time, it fell heavily.
After the words fell, several people raised their attention and carefully watched the reactions of the maids in the circle. Girls are small
Without any surprises, no one was willing to stand up at all. Everyone lowered their heads, secretly looking at me, I looking at you, with obvious suspicion in their eyes.
"Good, good! Toast without eating and drinking, and if you don't seize the opportunity, then don't blame Young Master Ben for being ruthless. ”
When his eyes sank, a thin layer of anger had already spread between Fan Yijian's eyebrows, causing the air pressure in the air to drop a few points suddenly.
After a pause, he commanded Aunt Ji in a deep voice: "Aunt Ji, you take someone to collect all the tooling of these people, and then compare them one by one, and find out the people for Ben Shao." ”
"Yes! Master! ”
Hearing this, Aunt Ji nodded respectfully at him, and then with a wave of her hand, she led several black-clothed people towards their rooms angrily.
"As for you?"
Then, Fan Yiji's gaze on the maids was slightly pursed, and when he was full of deep meaning, he seemed to fall into a short period of thought.
However, he soon made a decision: "Find a room and lock it up, and send someone to guard the door until the murderer is found."
"Yes!"
The words fell, and the remaining black-clothed bodyguards answered in unison. Then, without delaying the time, he pushed the maids into a large room with a push and a nudge while urging angrily.
With a "bang", the door was slammed shut, and two black-clothed bodyguards stood expressionlessly, one on the left and one on the right.
"Xiaoyu, let's go! It's time for us to get ready to see the show! "
Fan Yichen turned around, raised his hand, and said softly while gently brushing the strands of hair that were stuck on her cheeks.
"Good!"
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyou nodded lightly, and her demure appearance looked very well-behaved.
It's just that in the depths of the sharp eyes, the fluctuations of the chill fluctuated from small to large, round after circle, slowly spreading.
The chill permeates people, and the cold is heart-warming.
This person is really hateful, and he wants to blame her for killing someone. Naturally, you can't indulge lightly, and some hardships always have to be eaten.
Then, the two hugged each other, and the two figures slowly left.
In the room, without Fan Yijian present, the feeling of fear and pressure suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Whew!"
Many maids let out a long breath, raised their hands again, and after wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads indiscriminately, the strength of their bodies seemed to be drained, and they fell to the ground with a "poof".
More or less, I still have palpitations.
It's just that soon everyone's minds began to come alive again, and they got together with a good relationship, and began to discuss with complicated expressions.
"Hey! Tell me, is what the young master said true? The real murderer is hiding in the middle of us? "
The first to provoke the conversation was a relatively young maid with a grunting son with eyeballs, who looked more clever.
I saw that she lowered her voice and muttered to the people around her, while raising her eyes, and looked left and right several times, mixed with vigilance and ill intentions.
"I see! Eight or nine is not far from ten, what kind of person is our young master? With his ability, how can he be untargeted and talk nonsense! ”
"That's it, and don't you see? The rag that Aunt Ji was holding in her hand. Isn't it the one we made two days ago on the new tooling? ”
"Hey! Who do you say is the murderer? It was so cruel that he strangled people to death. The mere thought of this vicious creature now hiding among us makes my scalp tingle and goosebumps rise. ”
"Who says it's not, although that girl has a high spirit, she is good at shouting and pretending on weekdays. But I haven't seen her have a fierce conflict with anyone! ”
You say a word, I say a word, and everyone who is doing good things is discussing and dancing on the ground and expressing their opinions. For a while, I even forgot about my own situation at this time.
In the corner, a strange figure leaned against the wall alone, with its eyes half-closed, as if it was about to fall asleep. In fact, listening to everyone's discussions, my heart has already crossed the river to the sea, and I can no longer calm down.
And this figure is none other than an old woman.
In the second half of the night, she quietly sneaked into the room of the little maid with heavy makeup, and when she was weak and had no power to resist, she revealed her murderous face and directly killed the killer.
Although he acted in a hurry, he was well prepared, and when he left, he erased all the clues that could be left.
originally thought that it was seamless, and she would be able to hide from the sky, so that Ji Xiaoyou became her scapegoat. But who knows, the sky is not as good as the people, and it will leave such a big flaw.
