"Debt collector?" Bai He smiled lightly, his inquiring eyes slid over each of their faces, their first expressions were remembered in their minds, Bai He crossed his hands and slowly leaned back, "No, this matter has nothing to do with those debt collectors, the fire is not caused by them." ”

The eldest lady frowned and said suspiciously, "What you said is true?" ”

"Are you kidding?" The fourth aunt didn't believe it either, she looked at the people around her in surprise, and said loudly: "Didn't they all issue wanted warrants after the incident?" Why do you now say that they didn't set the fire? That's not what they put it, who put it? You also said that the murderer was found, but what about the murderer? ”

The third aunt's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to speak much at this time.

Bai He's tone was indifferent: "No matter what we thought back then, we were all wrong." Indeed, they did not set the fire. ”

"How do you know?" The eldest lady's brow tightened.

Bai He was silent for a while, then suddenly licked his lower lip and said with a smile: "You probably don't know why I broke up with Zhu Dongfeng, right?" How did two good people get to the point where they had to break up without warning? Is White Lotus crazy? Some of you must have thought so. ”

The eldest lady doesn't understand how Bai He said this?

The fourth aunt was embarrassed for a moment, and immediately said, "Who would think so!" Hey, you'd better hurry up and tell who the murderer is! Don't talk about that! "She's going to die in a hurry, if she knows who the murderer is, she can't kill that person!

"Don't worry, things have to be explained one by one." Bai He smiled, she was not impatient at all today, because she was very, very close to the truth.

She said: "The reason why I broke up with Zhu Dongfeng was because I found out that the boss behind the underground money bank that lent him money back then was Zhu Dongfeng, and the people who came to the house to ask for debts that day were also his people." ”

“…… What, what? The fourth aunt was stunned.

"After I learned about this, my first thought was that his people set fire to my house and burned my mother to death, and although Zhu Dongfeng was not directly involved, he was the culprit. I couldn't accept it, but I couldn't sanction him, so I chose to break up with him, and then something happened. ”

Bai Yuewei was stunned, she didn't expect Bai He and Zhu Dongfeng to break up because of this, how painful her heart should have been in the time before and after her breakup, she couldn't even notice it.

"I thought Zhu Dongfeng was the culprit, but he wasn't." Bai He shook his head, as if he was talking about a very small matter, "Some time ago, I learned something by chance, and I began to suspect it, so I went to the patrol room to find Li Yan to help me transfer out the past case for me to see, I stayed in his office for a day, and I had a little clue, but it was not enough to prove everything." But my ability to do it alone is limited, so I decided to tell Zhu Dongfeng and let him help me. Unfortunately, he had an accident after that, so I put the matter on hold. Until this morning. ”

The third aunt looked up at her, and there was a layer of tears in her eyes.

The fourth aunt asked sneeringly: "This morning, what's wrong this morning?" ”

Bai He said with a smile: "I went to visit Zhu Dongfeng in the hospital this morning and told him my conjectures and suspicions, but he told me in turn that in fact, he already knew who set the fire, but he couldn't find the right time to tell me." After I broke up with him, he sent someone to look into the matter. ”

The eldest lady said in a deep voice, "What if he is lying? He wanted to wash himself away. ”

"He has proof." White Lotus cuts the railway.

The third aunt's eyes widened instantly.

"Anyone can say something without evidence, but only when there is evidence can it be more powerful. Of course I understand that, that's why I believe him. Bai He's face was not red and her heart was not beating and said that Zhu Dongfeng had the human evidence, and she had the physical evidence in her hand, which was enough to find out the murderer.

"The arsonists were in too much of a hurry when they fled the arson scene, and they left behind a very inconspicuous thing, which no one in the patrol room took into account. But it's crucial. ”

The fourth aunt slapped the table too hard, startling Bai Yuewei, who could listen attentively, "Who is it!" What a bastard! ”

Bai He smiled, raised his right hand and raised his index finger to draw a circle in the air, "In this house, by your side." ”

The eldest lady opened her mouth.

The fourth aunt was also really frightened, she reflexively looked around, Bai Yuewei on the left and the third aunt on the right.

"Bai He, you mean, it was your own family who set the fire?" The eldest lady hesitated slightly, she had never thought of this possibility, she had always thought that it was those debt collectors who had harmed their family.

"Is it a servant or a ......" the fourth aunt wanted to know more accurately. If it was a servant of the Bai family, she would have gone a lot after the accident, and she couldn't remember what she looked like, how to find it.

Bai He looked at her without blinking, "It's from the Bai family." ”

No one spoke anymore, and several people at the dinner table, you look at me, I look at you, and they all saw the surprise and astonishment on each other's faces, and at this moment it seemed that everyone was suspicious, and everyone was the murderer.

"Originally, I planned to release the evidence directly, because I thought that once the evidence was presented, you would know who that person was, and I wouldn't have to explain it to you. But Zhu Dongfeng said, after all, it is my relatives, my family, and I should give him the last chance to wake up. Bai He frowned, "I asked him that nearly four years have passed, isn't there enough chance to make him wake up?" At the end of the day, do I have to give him a chance? Zhu Dongfeng said that since it has been four years, it would not hurt to wait a few more days. I still listened to Zhu Dongfeng and decided to give him another chance to wake up. Indeed, it's been almost four years, so what's the point of waiting a few more days? ”

"So, what about you...... So tell us now...... This, these ...... "The fourth aunt has goosebumps all over her body as long as she thinks that the person living under the same roof is the murderer who set fire to the dead, it is so terrible, killing someone can still live together so unknowingly.

Bai He said: "I must let you know in advance, otherwise when the time comes, I will arrest that person, and you will stop me and ask why." ”

The eldest lady asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”

"Do nothing. Within three days, I hope that he will come to my residence to find me and confess his guilt, otherwise I will join Zhu Dongfeng and hand over all the evidence in our hands to the patrol room. There will be no love left. Bai He stood up, looked at everyone, and his eyes fell on Bai Zhengting's face, who was silent, "Did you hear what I said?" ”

Bai Zhengting was distracted, and was stunned by a question, and then nodded without knowing anything, and said in his mouth: "Catch!" Scratch! Arrest them all! ”

The fourth aunt whispered too much: "What nonsense! ”

Bai He glanced at him coldly and said no more, and then she glanced at the third aunt again, and she saw the third aunt's distress and helplessness in her eyes, but she couldn't help the third aunt.

"That's it for today, I'll go first." Bai He smiled slightly, returned to the hall and picked up her handbag and walked out of the Bai family slowly, not caring at all what kind of psychological burden her words tonight would cause to these people left.

Back in Kuanzhai Hutong, I knew that I had been waiting for her to cook a meal, and I knew that the young lady had gone back if I guessed.

Bai He laughed at her: "I guessed that I didn't eat by myself, what are I waiting for?" ”

"Miss doesn't eat much every time she goes back, so I want to wait for Miss to come back and eat a little more." Knowing that she was going to serve dinner with a smile, Bai He asked her to serve her own, she was full today.

I knew that the young lady would eat some more food, I fried it and tasted it, it was very fragrant and fragrant.

"I brought him the chicken soup and snacks you cooked in the morning, and he praised you and said that you are good at your workmanship."

"Then the next time Miss goes to see Mr. Zhu, I'll make another pot in advance." Knowing that she thinks so, she feels that there is a lot of hope for the reunion between her Miss and Mr. Zhu, so now that Mr. Zhu is not in good health, she should do her best for this, after all, it is related to the happiness of Miss Zhu in the future.

"Let's cook more next time." Bai He took a bite of the dish and said that Anan was also hospitalized, and he forgot about Anan when he went to see him today, and the chicken soup and snacks were not rich at all.

Zhi nodded and said yes. Search

After eating a few bites of food, Bai Lotus stopped eating, but she still stayed with Zhi until she also finished eating. The two of them are used to living together, they are not informal, and they are more like family members than master and servant.

"Got it, what if I don't have a home in the future?" Bai He held her cheeks and saw that she was adjusting the stuffing in the kitchen, and she was going to cook dumplings tomorrow morning to eat, so she wrapped the dumplings first in the evening.

Zhi turned his head to look at her, "Why did Miss say such strange things?" Mademoiselle will not be without a home. ”

Bai He chuckled: "I said if." ”

"......What if," he thought with a wink, "it doesn't matter if Miss doesn't have a home, Miss still has me." I cook and do laundry for Miss, just like now, it will never change. ”

"Well, I'm not too inhuman, then?" Bai He was deeply moved and said jokingly.

Knowing it, he sneered, and immediately endured it, "This is my willingness, and it wasn't forced by Miss." I like to be by Miss's side, Miss is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she won't look down on me, and she will think of me when she has good food and drink, and now she pays me to work at work, and she pays me a high salary every month. Miss, you don't know, I talked about this in the pastry class, and they all envy me! ”

Bai He asked curiously, "Why are you telling them this?" ”

"It's boring when you're making pastries, so you ask me and I'll ask you. At the beginning, some people heard that I was a girl and looked down on me, and I ignored her when they looked down on me, so I learned to make pastries seriously, and I couldn't let the young lady spend money in vain. After a long time, no one seemed to care what I was doing. Zhili has never felt inferior at this point, because she feels that everyone makes money with their hands, except for a little difference, there is no difference at all. And knowing that there will be this kind of thinking that many maid servants don't have, it is completely because she is influenced by Bai He, she will not look down on anyone, unless she has an enmity with the other party.

Zhi said proudly: "Now when the teacher asks us to work in a team and homework freely, they all want to be in a group with me!" Because I'm better than all of them! ”

Her little appearance was very cute, and Bai He was amused: "Well, you are the best." But when others ask you what you do in the future, don't say it's for me anymore. ”

Zhi asked, "What do you say?" ”

Bai He said: "My little assistant in life. Responsible for taking care of my diet and daily life. ”

Knowing that she nodded obediently, she didn't look like a girl ring anyway, how could a girl ring spend the master's money to learn things, and let the master eat cold meals and cold dishes at noon every day.

"I don't have a home anymore, you are my family, not an assistant."

I don't know what Bai He was angry about when she went back to the Bai family, but no matter what it was, she stood on Bai He's side, "Miss, don't say that you don't have a home, the people who listen are uncomfortable." Let's make dumplings! I think the dumplings made by the lady are the most beautiful! ”

Making dumplings is one of the few crafts in the White Lotus Club, thanks to her mother Lin Zhuyin, who can do nothing else during the New Year every year, and the dumplings must be wrapped together, reunited, and said that this is the New Year's flavor.

Now that "reunion" is what it feels like, Bai He has forgotten it, and his virtual home may be gone in a few days.

In the three days given by Bai He, not only the 'murderer' lived in torment, but even Bai He himself lived in a long wait. No matter how determined she swore when she spoke, but in fact, she didn't have a bottom in her heart, this was a method that she came up with after Zhu Dongfeng refused to help her, if that person calmed down, then Bai He would have failed.

Whether it is successful or not, Bai He is also gambling.

The Bai family, on the other hand, fell into a long-lost silence. Neither one nor the other spoke, and the eyes that looked at each other became inquisitive and suspicious, and even the servants in the house noticed the strange atmosphere and acted more and more cautiously.

Only the third aunt is the same, how is it now, she always serves every meal on time, and when she is fine, she goes back to the room to knit wool, compared to the fourth aunt who doesn't even dare to eat with everyone, she is like no one. But only she knows what she's thinking.

Bai Yuewei told Bai Ziyi about this, Bai Ziyi was deeply shocked, he took the time to find Bai He once, learned about the matter from beginning to end, and fell into a long silence when he learned that his mother might also be the arsonist.

And the eldest lady was shocked and angry in the face of his suspicions, and she waved her beloved son for the first time.

Time walked extremely slowly, and the hearts and spirits of all the Bai family members were tormented by time, during which Bai He pretended to be casual and went to Zhongshan Hospital to see Zhu Dongfeng again, but this time he went to his ward full of people, Bai He saw acquaintances, Chu Hongyan and Boss Cheng who were all red, and Hu Li, who was charming and charming, except for the three of them, Bai He didn't know anyone, and they should have all learned the news and rushed to visit Zhu Dongfeng from other places.

There were too many people, Bai He only stayed for a while and left, and he didn't have time to say anything to Zhu Dongfeng.

On the third day, Bai He didn't go anywhere, she stayed at home for a day.

But no one came from dawn to dark, Bai He's mood was extremely bad, and she went upstairs without eating a bite when she knew how to cook at night.

At seven o'clock in the morning of the fourth day, Bai He received a call from Bai Yuewei, she cried and said, "Fourth sister, the third aunt is dead!" ”

At that moment, Bai He was like being struck by lightning.

He Zhi hurried to the Bai family's house, the whole courtyard was shrouded in an atmosphere of panic, the servants gathered together and whispered, Bai He pushed them away and walked into the west room, the fourth aunt was standing outside the door of the third aunt and probing her brain, Bai Yuewei was grabbed by her hand and did not let go.

Hearing the servant call 'Fourth Miss', Bai Yuewei turned around, saw Bai He with a pair of teary eyes, and cried again: "Fourth Sister......"

Bai He walked to the door expressionlessly and looked into the room, the eldest lady and Bai Ziyi were standing inside, and the third aunt was lying on the ground, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her feet were weakly tilted to the sides.

"How so?" Bai He asked, raised his feet and walked in.

Bai Ziyi looked at her, his eyebrows and eyes were painful.

The third aunt hanged herself, and the servant came to call her for breakfast, and opened the door with a gentle push, only to see the third aunt's feet hanging in the air. At that time, the third aunt was already stiff and had been dead for about a few hours.

Bai He lowered her eyes and looked fixedly, the third aunt was too well-dressed, neatly dressed, and even her hair was meticulously combed, she had already taken care of herself before leaving, if it wasn't for her face being too white at this time, then she would just be a sleeping lady.

"White Lotus." Bai Ziyi took a letter to her and whispered, "This was found on the third aunt's table, and it was for you." ”

"White Lotus Initiation." Bai He looked at the four Juanxiu words written on the envelope, and opened the letter with trembling hands, the content of the letter was not much, but it made Bai He cry bitterly when he saw it.

"Xiaohe, when you read this letter, I may have gone to find your mother. I didn't do it to escape reality, but it was precisely me who faced it. I don't want to see you hurt anymore, and I don't want to hide my sin with silence anymore, and this time, I decided to confess. When he lit the firewood, I didn't say anything; I didn't say anything when your mother was in the fire; When you're grief-stricken, I don't say anything. Because people in the world often say that marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, after marriage, your husband is your piece of heaven. Now I just want to ask, what is it to me and your mother, our husband? What are we in his eyes? I think you can help us find the answer to this question. Finally, Xiaohe, life is long, I hope you can be happy and happy. Don't be sad for me, because it's not death, it's liberation. Written by Aunt Ruichen. ”

Clutching the letter tightly, Bai He's figure swayed, as if he would fall down at any time.

Bai Ziyi stretched out her hand to help her, but she had already stabilized her steps, she turned to look at the third aunt lying on the ground, tears fell, "I want to hold a funeral for the third aunt." ”

The eldest lady nodded in agreement.

"What about Bai Zhengting?" Bai He looked back at the fourth aunt outside the door.

The fourth aunt shook her head, "I haven't seen him since I got up." ”

Bai Yuewei also shook her head.

Bai He gritted his teeth and searched room by room, and finally found that Bai Zhengting had disappeared.
