Chapter 76: Peeling Back the Thread
"I don't regret killing her, I just hate that I didn't do it earlier!" Lychee sneered.
Zhen Bei sighed, poor people must have something to hate, and similarly, some people who have made big mistakes, how can they not have the last resort?
Zhenbei did not tell the government about the lychee.
The words of the housekeeper's mother-in-law kept echoing in her ears: "That jasmine girl has a pleasing face, but her heart is more poisonous than that snake and scorpion!" It was a trivial matter for Lychee to be beaten and scolded every day, and she would sometimes smear honey on the soles of Lychee's hands and feet for fun, and put ants on it to eat - ouch, but whenever the poor little girl moved, she would be stabbed...... There are so many vicious little ×× like this! ”
For killing Miss Jasmine, Lychee is taken to the countryside by two men in black to be punished by the rules of the building.
Knowing what was waiting for her, Lychee unconsciously put her hands in front of her lower abdomen, closed her eyes in despair, and waited for that moment to come.
The unexpected pain did not come, and she opened her eyes in surprise to find that there was only one man left in black.
The man tore off the mask on his face, revealing a delicate and handsome face.
"Gu Gongzi, it's you!" Lychee was surprised.
Zhenbei bowed slightly to her and shoved a burden into her hand.
"Let's go! Whether you want the baby in your belly or not, decide for yourself! ”
After thinking about it, she added: "Don't enter this red dust land again in the future, even for someone you think is very important!" Also, confess everything to that person, if he loves you and cherishes you, he will naturally not mind; If he shows a trace of disgust, he must not be nostalgic and leave his side decisively! There are some silver taels in this baggage, enough for you to eat without worry in ten years! ”
"Gu Gongzi, why are you—" Lychee said incredulously.
Zhen Bei didn't answer her doubts, and with a wave of the blade in her hand, Lychee's long hair was cut off.
She took a few steps forward, picked up the hair, and said, "Borrow you a few strands of hair, and go back to the errand!" ”
Seeing that Lychee was stunned and froze in place, she reminded in a low voice: "Hurry up and get out of here, don't turn around and walk straight forward, there is a carriage waiting for you there!" ”
After saying this, Zhenbei waved her hand and strode in the opposite direction.
Lychee took a deep look at her back, wiped a few moist eyes, and hurried in the direction she pointed.
Zhenbei walked through the woods and walked towards Nangong He, who was leaning on the trunk of the tree and looking at the starry sky.
"Let's go, let's go back!"
Nangong He glanced at her and said, "Trying your best to let Yue Rushuang let go of a murderer is not like what you did in the past!" ”
Zhen Bei sighed: "Lychee has a good conscience, not to mention that she still has an innocent life in her belly!" ”
What she didn't say was that if it weren't for her mother's thoughts in the previous life, she wouldn't exist in this world!
"The kindness of a woman!" Nangong He sneered, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
This person is just a child who has not grown up, his mouth is unforgiving, and his heart is not bad!
Just like at this time, although I don't agree with her approach, I am willing to stay awake in the middle of the night and accompany her to this wilderness!
Zhen Bei smiled brightly at him and said, "Thank you for your praise Your Highness Nine!" ”
"Stupid! Who is praising you? Nangong He was dazzled by her smile, his heart couldn't help jumping, he snorted coldly and opened his eyes, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising slightly.
Putting Miss Jasmine's case aside, there are three more murders left.
Are the murderers in these three cases the same person?
Since the blood character was written by Lychee, will the warning of killing one person in ten days automatically lose its meaning?
Zhen Bei felt a little uneasy in her heart, because she didn't know if it was a coincidence, the interval between these four murders was exactly ten days!
What she is most worried about now is that since Lychee can pretend to kill people in the previous two murders, then the murderer can also use the blood characters she wrote to commit crimes!
After combing through the information in her hand, she was almost certain that the murderer was looking for something!
Later, Zhen Bei once looked for Dongmei, the survivor of a recent murder, alone.
She had said that Miss Magnolia had returned to the wing because she had left something important.
Could it be that the Magnolia girl went back to the room to get it, and it was exactly what the murderer was looking for, and when she returned to the wing, it happened that the murderer who was hiding inside was killed?
If this is the case, then the murderer must have found what he was looking for, will he stop doing it and stop committing the crime?
"Do you know what Miss Magnolia is looking for when she goes back to the room?" Zhen Bei once asked Dongmei.
"I don't know, the girl never allows others to touch her valuables, and every time she takes it, she breaks the slave!" Dongmei replied.
Thinking of this, there is another point that has attracted Zhenbei's attention, the first two murders have a common feature, that is, the two maids were separated by their own girls!
Is this just a coincidence, or did the deceased have already made an appointment with someone and did it on purpose? If it is the second case, then the person they made an appointment with is undoubtedly the murderer nine times out of ten!
On the other hand, the person who applied the medicine to the wine cup has still not been found, and the servants who were locked up in one place do not seem to have the conditions or motive to commit the crime.
In the blink of an eye, another day has passed, and nine days have passed since the last crime!
Zhenbei stood in front of the window, looking at the rain dripping down the eaves, her brows furrowed.
According to the visits and investigations in the past few days, it is almost certain that the murderer is hiding in this Baihua Building, at least there are the murderer's helpers hidden in this building!
Nangong He saw her looking worried, thought for a while, and walked out of the room.
After a while, he came back with a stack of books: "This is the genealogy of everyone in the building, and the experience before entering the building, do you want to come and have a look?" ”
Zhen Bei's eyes lit up when she heard this, knowing the prognosis, this is a good way!
This hundred, flowers, the building has always been extremely important to the origin of the people used, and there is a special secret guard to check this information.
In the housekeeper's mother-in-law, most of them are hearsay, and this volume is confirmed, which is more authentic!
Zhen Bei first found the information of the girls who had the accident, at first glance, it seemed that it was unrelated, but then after a closer look, there was an amazing discovery!
In addition to Miss Jasmine, the other three of the deceased were inextricably linked to the children who her mother, Luo Yihan, had personally taught dance back then.
In this matter, Luo Yihan once mentioned in Yunyin that she compiled a set of dances called "Fairy Offering Flowers", so the song removed the main dancer, and also needed a number of female dolls to sprinkle flowers and auxiliary dances, so she bought eight well-behaved and clever girls from Renyazi, trained them every day, and finally achieved the song and dance that amazed the world!
However, after Chang Lancang broke his oath with Luo Yihan due to family feud and took another woman as his wife, Luo Yihan was heartbroken for a while, and even gave up on himself.
She and Lin Yunyin's father, Lin Zhengnan, have achieved a hundred years of good results by mistake.
Luo Yihan, who was pregnant afterwards, married Lin Zhengnan as his wife for the sake of the child in his womb. At that time, she decided to make a break with Chang Lancang from the bottom of her heart, and spent the rest of her life with Lin Zhengnan wholeheartedly.
Therefore, she scattered all the things that Chang Lancang had given her before, along with some silver taels she had saved, to the eight girls, and let them find their own way out.
Except for two of them, who refused to leave Luo Yihan and came to the Lin family with their master, two of them defected to their relatives, and the other four chose to stay in Bai, Hua, and Lou.
Thinking of Nangong He, he once said that Chang Lancang was tragically destroyed.
Zhen Bei was surprised: "Could it be that what the murderer is looking for is related to Chang Lancang?" ”
Nangong He nodded and said: "This Chang Lancang has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and it is not surprising that he can get some rare treasures, the murderer first invaded his mansion and did not find what he wanted. Then, he quickly found out about the old affair between him and Luo Yihan, and guessed that the thing might have been given to his lover as a token of love! ”
"When they learned that when Luo Yihan left, he didn't take Chang Lancang's tokens with him, but scattered them to eight disciples, so they targeted those people!" Zhen Bei continued for him.
Of the two girls who chose to be by Luo Yihan's side, one of them died of illness before she was an adult, and the other followed her after Luo Yihan's death.
The four people who stayed in the building also passed away one after another due to various reasons.
"Not good!" Zhen Bei exclaimed, "The other two, I'm afraid they're also in danger!" We have to send someone to find out where they live and go to protect them! ”
"No need!" Nangong He said in a deep voice, he pointed to the inconspicuous scratch on the booklet with his finger, "These people's names have been marked, and those two people are afraid that they have already been removed!" ”
Zhen Bei fixed her eyes and looked carefully, and sure enough, including the three recent victims, there was a light blue mark under each name.
Someone has already read this booklet and prepared it in advance, the list of killings!
Zhen Bei hurriedly flipped through it from the beginning: "If you can find other marked names, you can confirm who the murderer's next target is!" ”
Seeing her scrambled, Nangong He picked up another booklet and helped check it.
The tenth day, which frightened everyone, finally slowly kicked off in the sound of the rooster breaking dawn.
Whether the blood words written by Lychee will become an excuse for the murderer, no one knows the answer.
The only thing that was gratifying was that Qin Wuchen had finally woken up.
Except for three days of indigestion, the whole body is still a little weak, and there is nothing else wrong.
He opened his eyes and didn't care about eating, so he hurriedly asked Zhenbei about the progress of her case.
"What did Chang Lancang get, so that people are worried about this, and he did not hesitate to kill so many lives?" Qin Wuchen's face was full of pity and sighed.
"I've asked someone to investigate this matter! Chang Lancang and I, ah, Luo Yihan, in the two years since they met and fell in love, what adventures did he have, presumably some old people who are familiar with him should have heard of it. Zhen Bei said.
Compared to that incident, she was more worried about the two people who were marked and were still alive!
Qin Wuchen was able to wake up, adding a lot of confidence to Yue Rushuang.
At lunchtime, he rarely showed a smile again.
