Chapter 552: Lamb to the Slaughter
* Ann's little phone didn't have her on her, so she didn't know how much time had passed, only that someone had delivered two meals, so it should have been night.
The dinner delivery person also brought An Xiaoxiao a newspaper, and after dinner, she took it and flipped through it, and the front page was actually a large photo of her, but the title made her a little shocked in an instant.
"The princess of country D, Qi Lian Jingyi, died violently at five o'clock this afternoon!"
An Xiaoxiao read the report back and forth three times before confirming that this Qi Lian Jingyi was referring to herself.
So, why are there reports like this?
Don't...... Everyone thought they were dead? Everyone is going to give up on themselves?
Suddenly, she remembered Yu Lin's words again, saying that she still had a few hours to live, so was that what she meant?
Everyone thinks they're dead, so no one will look for them anymore, and then they're going to die quietly in this place?
"Makino......" Ann's small voice was a little choked and muttered: "Come and save me......"
Suddenly, there was a movement of the door opening the door, An Xiaoxiao shrank into the bed with a tight grip on the newspaper, staring nervously at the slowly opening wooden door, and Yu Lin's expressionless face appeared in the field of vision.
She still seems to have a needle in her hand......
……
After arriving at the Duke's Palace, in view of the fact that Qi Liansong and Qi Lian Minghao were busy dealing with government affairs, Jiang Muye gathered Qi Lianhe, Qi Lianshuo, and Qi Lianbai three brothers.
Several people made a detailed review of An Xiaoxiao's disappearance, from the time she walked out of the Duke's Mansion to Qi Lianhe's being taken away by soldiers.
Finally they passed through the cloister to the bamboo forest.
"Yiyi disappeared in this bamboo forest." Qi Lianhe said: "We have already called up the surveillance, and the monitoring shows that she and Yunduo entered the bamboo forest but did not go out. ”
Jiang Muye nodded, observed the terrain left and right, and took the lead in the bamboo forest.
From the beginning to the end, it took several people five minutes, Jiang Muye didn't stop long, only looked for Qi Lianhe: "Your Highness, I need a map of the Duke's Palace, the more detailed the better." ”
"Maps? Okay, I'll tell someone to get it right away. Qi Lianhe didn't ask much, and arranged for someone to get the map at the moment.
Qi Lianbai was a little crazy: "Brother-in-law, why don't you hurry up and find your little sister, what map do you see?" The layout of the Duke's Mansion is relatively exquisite, if you like it, I can decorate your and Xiaomei's new home into the Duke's Palace, but at the moment, is it more important to find Xiaomei? ”
Jiang Muye stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Before I came, you had already checked the surveillance video in detail, and you also sent people to search the surveillance at the various entrances of the Duke's Palace, and checked the passing vehicles, right?" ”
"Yes." Qi Lianshuo said: "We checked very carefully to confirm that we didn't miss any important information, but why didn't we find Xiaomei?" ”
At this moment, several people were standing on the corridor in front of the bamboo forest, and Jiang Muye's eyes glanced around for a moment and said, "I guess she is still in the Duke's Palace." ”
"What!" The other three people's eyes were shocked: "How is it possible?" We've turned the Duke's Palace upside down! ”
"So I need a map." Jiang Muye glanced at a few people, and said slowly: "I guess that Yu Lin's people disguised themselves as reporters at the morning press conference, and I have already sent Lin Zheng to investigate, and there should be results soon." ”
Qi Lianhe thought for a while and nodded: "So what?" Why do you speculate that Yiyi is still in the Duke's Palace? ”
"The most dangerous place is the safest
place. Jiang Muye twisted his fingers: "Moreover, Yu Lin must have an enmity with the people of the royal family, and naturally she also hates the Duke's Mansion very much, so if she hides people in the Duke's Palace, wouldn't it be ironic for you?" ”
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Especially when you have spent a lot of energy looking for someone, and Xiaoxiao is always waiting for rescue under your nose...... Don't you think this is a great sense of accomplishment for Yu Lin? Such a feeling will naturally give her the greatest pleasure of revenge. ”
Qi Lianhe thought for a while and nodded: "What you said is good, it's just ...... The Duke's Palace is a place where we have been playing since we were children, and we are almost familiar with every plant and tree here, and we don't know where there is a place where we can hide people without us noticing. ”
Jiang Muye was silent for a moment and said, "There are two kinds of places, the first is a place that existed before you were born, but was sealed or forgotten after you were born. ”
Qi Lianshuo hurriedly asked: "What about the second one?" ”
"The second is the newly built place." His finger pointed to the corridor and lotus pond in front of him and the bamboo forest not far away, and said in a slow tone: "For example, these attractions right now." ”
Qi Lianbai hurriedly added: "Yes, here is my mother who specially found workers from Huaxia to welcome Yiyi back, and the construction period is very tight, but fortunately, the effect is not bad, and my little sister likes it very much." ”
"That's right."
Jiang Muye held the railing tightly and looked at the lotus pond under the sunset, he was anxious, An Xiaoxiao was in danger, he had no time to delay, he could only try his best to find her as soon as possible!
He carefully explained the process of deduction to the three highnesses, so that they could work together to help him.
Hopefully it's still too late!
……
Yu Lin pushed open the door and went straight into the room, turning on the incandescent lamp, and the suddenly brightened space made the dangerous aura soar.
Glancing at An Xiaoxiao, who was a little nervous, her heart suddenly felt a little astringent, small but real.
She frowned: "You're afraid of me?" ”
After a moment of silence, An Xiaoxiao nodded: "You make me feel very strange, like a person I don't know at all, besides, it shouldn't be the first time you have killed me, right?" ”
Yu Lin's eyebrows jumped, although she also knew that An Xiaoxiao didn't want to look so stupid and sweet on the surface, she also had a very sensitive and delicate mind, but she rarely showed it.
But right now, a calm suddenly rose between An Xiaoxiao's eyebrows, which made her feel a little surprised.
"Why do you say that?" Yu Lin was interested.
"When you were still at the villa, you should have known that night that I heard your conversation with Ochisan, right?"
An Xiaoxiao asked her: "Moreover, my lost note should have been picked up by you." ”
Yu Lin smiled: "That's right. ”
"So you should have killed me a long time ago." An Xiaoxiao: "It's just that I didn't think about it at all, after all, you should know that I don't understand D Chinese and you are my mother, I just thought that you might have other things I didn't know......"
"You're right." Yu Lin still sat on the chair, and her tone was light: "It's just that what you said is wrong, I did kill you at that time, but it was not the beginning or the first time." ”
A touch of loss quickly jumped onto An Xiaoxiao's eyebrows, and the sadness and powerlessness gradually penetrated into the bone marrow.
Is there anything more tragic than being killed by a loved one?
"Don't you want to know when I first killed you?" Yu Lin looked at her like she was looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
