Chapter 44: Late Night Interrogation
Bai Xiao got the news, entered the palace overnight, and saw Lan Baobao and two other men and women who were still in a coma in Si Zhengsi.
"What the hell is going on?" Bai Xiao frowned and looked at the blue baby.
Originally, I just wanted to sneak around to find evidence, but I didn't want to go wrong in the middle and attract the guards again. The bathroom is not easy to hide, so the blue baby can only take risks and take the initiative to stand up and provide information.
It's also thanks to the fact that she has been helping the guards investigate the case recently, and the guards believed it after asking a few words, and they no longer embarrassed her, and also helped send people to Si Zhengsi.
Lan Baobao naturally didn't dare to tell Bai Xiao the truth about these things, so he could only conceal his original intention, and replied: "The villain wanted to share his worries for His Highness and the general, so he dared to investigate the case privately, but he didn't want to meet these two people at the scene of the crime......"
She told everything that happened in the bathroom, including the part where she pretended to be a ghost and scared.
After listening to her explanation, Bai Xiao was speechless for a while, stared at her for a moment, and then said: "You are not small, you dare to act privately, do you know if you will be targeted by the murderer?" In case of repeated surprises, the consequences are not something you can bear. ”
Blue Baby had long expected to be scolded, as long as it wasn't suspected.
"It's the villain who is reckless." Lan Baobao bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "The general's lesson is that the villain will definitely not do it again in the future." For now, let's take a look at them first, and maybe we can ask for useful clues. ”
Bai Xiao followed her gaze and looked at the two people sleeping on the circle chair again, and asked, "When will they wake up?" ”
"The doctor has already given them needles, and they can wake up within a stick of incense." Baby Smurf replied.
Bai Xiao nodded, and also picked a chair to sit down and wait.
The room suddenly fell silent, and Baby Blue rubbed her thumb a little awkwardly, thinking that she should stay together? Or do you want to avoid it first?
The person was captured by her, and it stands to reason that there is no need to avoid it, but she has a special identity, what if this white general is unwilling to let her know too much?
Didn't you warn her just now!
"You sit down too." Bai Xiao glanced at her, his tone full of impatience.
Blue Baby didn't dare to refute and sat down obediently.
The two of them sat down for about a cup of tea, and Li Xia woke up with a soft hum.
He hadn't figured out the situation yet, and Bai Rou in the chair next to him also woke up faintly.
When they calmed down and saw the situation in front of them clearly, they were completely awake when they landed, even though their hearts were still full of question marks, but they were forced by the power of Bai Xiao, they just trembled and knelt on the ground, and did not dare to say anything.
"What's your relationship?" Bai Xiao asked.
Li Xia and Bai Rou glanced at each other, and too much emotion flashed on their faces, which made people unable to see through it.
The two refused to answer, Bai Xiao didn't force him, and asked again, "Why did you go to the bathroom late at night?" What are you looking for? ”
Li Xia and Bai Rou's bodies shook suddenly, lowered their heads even lower, and almost pressed their upper bodies to the ground.
Bai Xiao raised his hand and slapped it on the table, and said sternly: "You have thought it through, continuing to conceal it will only increase the crime." Whether you recruit or not, you can't get rid of what you've done. ”
Li Xia glanced at Bai Rou, and finally couldn't resist the fear in his heart, kowtowed and said: "The villain moves, the villain recruits, it's the villain......"
"It's a slave." Bai Rou suddenly interrupted Li Xia's words, and after making up her mind, she finally dared to face Bai Xiao's questioning, raised her head and said, "It's the slave's bracelet that was accidentally left behind, and the slave and maid searched for all the places they went, but they didn't find it." Only then did I ask Father-in-law Xia to let the slave maid go into the Pearl Mirror Hall to look for it. Because the slave maid had been to the Bead Mirror Hall some time ago, perhaps the bracelet had fallen there. ”
Li Xia glanced at Bai Rou worriedly, pursed her lips and did not speak again.
"You're not a palace maid in the Bead Mirror Palace, how could you leave something in a place like the bathroom?" Bai Xiao threw out a question again.
Bai Rou bit her lip, and as soon as Li Xia wanted to speak, Bai Xiao preempted her, "Let her reply by herself." ”
Lan Baobao watched the interaction between Li Xia and Bai Rou from the side, which was not intimate, and in several eye contacts, there was a sense of rustiness. But they are protective of each other, and there must be something wrong between them, and they don't know what they are hiding.
Bai Rou was silent again, revealing a sense of anxiety and panic all over her body.
"I've been having nightmares lately, and I'm afraid that Si Zhengji will find the bracelet you lost, why is that?" Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes, and when he spoke again, there was a dangerous aura in his tone, "If you don't want to say it in the palace, General Ben can also take you to Youduwei, where there are various ways to pry your mouth open." ”
When the blue baby heard this, he thought to himself that this meant to be executed? The words "bending into a move" flashed in his mind, and then he thought that Bai Rou and Li Xia were indeed suspicious, and it would be really difficult for them to refuse to speak all the time.
Regarding Youduwei's torture room, there are all kinds of rumors outside, and it is so bloody and cruel that people talk about it.
Bai Rou was so frightened that she collapsed directly on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Slaves and maids are recruited, slaves and maids are all recruited, it was the slaves and maids who did it, it was the slaves and maids who killed the Shengcai people......"
She repeated the words in a daze, kowtowing incessantly.
The blue baby couldn't bear to look at it next to her, and Li Xia also had a white face, trying to stop her from continuing to masochize, but she couldn't lift her hand, and a look of chagrin flashed on her face.
In the end, Bai Rou was imprisoned, and Li Xia was also ordered not to take half a step out of the Bead Mirror Palace, waiting for the summons at any time.
When the sky was about to dawn, the blue baby was responsible for escorting Li Xia back.
The two walked on the silent palace road, and the blue baby looked at Li Xia and said, "Qiuyue came to beg me last night." ”
Li Xia's figure was stunned, his eyes were suddenly full of gratitude, and he turned to salute the blue baby, "It's embarrassing to call Father-in-law Bao, the villain really has no choice." Now that this kind of thing has happened again, the villain also knows that Fengyin will definitely not be able to recover it, or rather, it is the villain who has caused it himself. ”
"Li Xia, you're not a murderer, are you?" Blue Baby stared at him in confirmation.
Li Xia's breath stagnated, and only after a while did he slowly shake his head.
The two fell silent again and continued on their way.
Lan Baobao felt that Li Xia didn't look like a murderer, if it was really him who killed Shengcairen, it was too late for him to avoid suspicion and hide, how could he ask Qiu Yue to ask her to recover Fengyin.
Just looking at his performance tonight, Shengcairen's case seems to have something to do with him.
"You've always wanted to leave the Bead Mirror Palace, why do you want to stay and guard it now?" Baby Smurf asked again.
Li Xia lowered his head and was silent.
The two of them walked for another while, and the Bead Mirror Hall was close in front of them.
Lan Baobao looked at Li Xia, the other party was still reluctant to speak, she sighed silently, and said, "Go in, don't run around recently, we will look for you at any time." And your Fengyin, if I can recover it, I will definitely help you recover it, after all, your parents are innocent. ”
