Chapter 113: The Dead
The cell boss opened the door, walked in and pushed the thrush.
"Wake up...... Someone came to see you...... Yes! He's dead. ”
Chu Yuqin and Ling Shengyi glanced at each other.
"You're staying here."
Ling Shengyi told Chu Yuqin and followed him to check.
The thrush was originally facing away from the prison door, and Ling Shengyi straightened her body and sniffed.
"It's out of gas."
"Childe, you have to testify for me, it's none of my business! If an adult asks, you must say good things for me. ”
"You just have to rest assured, she committed suicide and has nothing to do with you."
"How did Childe know that he committed suicide?" The cell boss was puzzled.
"Judging by her expression, and the fact that she is missing an earring, she should have committed suicide by swallowing an earring."
The thrush died, and soon a puppet came for an autopsy. It turned out that Ling Shengyi's guess was not wrong, she really committed suicide by swallowing earrings.
After leaving the county office, the two walked idly on the street. When I passed by Su's mother's attic, I found that there were a lot of people gathered there.
"What happened?" Passers-by asked.
"Isn't there a murder here? It was the master of the Zheng family who died. Su's mother was suppressed by the Zheng family and couldn't get by here. The girls under her umbrella walked away, and they were robbed by other flower buildings, anyway, this place is scattered. ”
Chu Yuqin stopped at the door and looked at the people who came out of it.
She grabbed one of the maidservants and asked, "What about Miss Jasmine?" ”
The maidservant said, "I was taken away by the mother of Baixianglou." ”
"I have ten taels of silver here. If you're willing to answer me a few questions, the money will be yours. When you leave here, you'll be on your own. These ten taels of silver are enough for you to buy a few acres of land in the countryside to live well. ”
Chu Yuqin took out ten taels of silver ingots and waved them in front of the maidservant.
The maidservant looked at Chu Yuqin: "I recognize you." Isn't the case closed? What else does Miss Chu want to ask? ”
"I still have a couple of questions that I want to figure out. Rest assured! The case is closed. I don't have any objections. It's just that I was affected for no reason, and I just want to know a few small problems. A few small problems can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and this kind of business is not available anywhere else. Anyway, you're leaving, and you don't have to be restricted by the building in the future, you can say whatever you want. ”
"Good. I'll go with you. ”
In the teahouse, Chu Yuqin and the maidservant girl sat by the window.
Ling Shengyi did not share a table with them, but chose the position behind Chu Yuqin.
"What are you doing in the building?"
"The slave is the maid who serves the Camellia Girl. Usually mainly responsible for the Camellia girl, if she is too busy, she will be called by Su's mother to help. ”
"I know Camellia. She has a good temperament. You should have an easy time in her hands. ”
"Yes. Our girls are really nice. She was originally the daughter of a merchant. Because the family went bankrupt, the stepmother sold her to this kind of place. But even so, she is clean and self-loving. This time something happened, Su's mother was in a hurry to sell these girls for silver, and the girl's lover bought the girl's deed of sale at half the price lower than the original price. ”
"That's good. After I came into contact with the Camellia girl a few times, I also found that she is a good girl with a good personality and a simple personality. Now the bitterness has finally come to an end. This incident caused problems for many of us, but it brought her life. Thinking about it this way, even if I suffer a loss, it is nothing. ”
The maid was originally a little nervous, but when she heard Chu Yuqin praise the girl she was serving, her expression relaxed.
"What do you do with the thrush?"
"No, I didn't even say a word to Thrush."
"Don't be nervous. The thrush is the lowest of the handmaidens. You serve Camellia, how can you have too much contact with her? I just asked. ”
"The thrush killed people in such a cruel way. I don't want to get into trouble. You know, I want to live the life of an ordinary person. I've saved some money over the years. The girl is kind to me, and any reward will be counted for me. So I'm going to be able to get out of here and live well. ”
"I've been in contact with the girls in the building for a while, and I've noticed that Miss Jasmine's temper is similar to that of you Camellia girls. Did Camellia befriend her? ”
"It's good. We girls get along well with everyone. Even if it is the most difficult peony girl, our girls can get along with each other. ”
The maid went from nervousness at the beginning to complete relaxation at the back.
Chu Yuqin talked to her about a wide range of topics, almost asked about the twelve girls in the building, and even talked about Mother Su.
Referring to Su's mother's insidious cunning, Chu Yuqin was angry. The handmaid is also very resentful. Apparently she suffered a lot at her hands.
"This is ten taels of silver, and you take it. Live a good life in the future. ”
"I didn't seem to say anything. Don't you have any other questions? ”
Until the end, the maidservant had a confused expression.
Obviously, in her opinion, Chu Yuqin just spent ten taels of silver to chat with her.
Looking back at what she said, there was nothing useful at all. She suddenly felt a little weak about the ten taels of silver.
"No more. Thank you. ”
"Oh well! I'll go first. ”
After the maidservant left, Chu Yuqin came to Ling Shengyi's table.
"What do you see?"
"What she said was almost true."
Ling Shengyi poured the tea and handed it to her.
"So what?"
"Ninety percent of what you analyzed from her words just now is true. What conclusions did you draw? ”
"Jasmine has a relationship with the thrush. When the thrush was most difficult, Jasmine helped her carry it. However, these details do not say anything. The thrush is dead. This case is almost here. I'm not an official, so there's no need to break the casserole and ask the end. ”
Ling Shengyi raised his eyebrows: "You insisted on going into the city today, I thought you just wanted to figure out this matter." ”
"Originally, yes. If the thrush is wronged, I want to figure it out. After all, she's already so miserable, and I don't want her to be miserable anymore. But this is the path she has chosen. She would rather kill herself in order to bring this matter to an end. If I continue to investigate, nothing will come of it. Why bother with yourself? ”
"I used to think you were quite able to endure hardship. Only now do I realize that you are still aware of current affairs. That's good! At least I can't afford to lose anything. ”
"Is this a compliment to me?" Chu Yuqin looked at him.
"Of course."
"I'm going to Zheng Mansion again. May I? ”
Ling Shengyi looked over.
"Although the murder has nothing to do with you, but with your relationship with the Zheng Mansion, aren't you afraid that they will trouble you?"
"I'm not a servant of the Zheng Mansion now, even if I appear in the Zheng Mansion, I'm still a guest of Zheng Gongzi. They can't beat the guests to death, can they? Besides, if I follow you in, I won't have so much trouble. So I'm sorry for you, Brother Ling. ”
"You're calling me more and more now." Ling Shengyi stood up. "Let's go! Who made me eat people with soft mouths? ”
