Xie Jinlan scratched his head shyly: "A gentleman can't stand without faith, I have read books for so many years, and I still understand this truth." ”

Although the Zhang family was a little incomprehensible, she still understood what Xie Jinlan meant: "Jin Lan, it won't be long before we will be a family." ”

"Mother, what kind of family?"

At this time, Li Tiegen entered the kitchen with more than 30 dates in his hand, and happened to hear the last few words of Zhang's words.

Zhang's eyes rolled, and then he stroked his palm and smiled: "I'm talking about Jin Lan." I told him to come to our house often in the future, and we all treat him as a family. Tiegen, do you say no? ”

Li Tiegen put the dates on the table and nodded in agreement: "Mother is right." ”

Then he looked at Xie Jinlan: "Jin Lan, don't think it's going to cause trouble to my family, you have to come often in the future!" ”

Xie Jinlan was a little embarrassed, and looked at the two of them with some gratitude: "Auntie, Brother Tiegen, you guys are so good." ”

Then his eyes fell on the dates on the table, and his face couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Tiegen, have you picked too many dates?" I only buy the penny one. ”

Li Tiegen sat down opposite Xie Jinlan and said very generously: "I specially picked some more." ”

Xie Jinlan waved his hand again and again: "Where is this!" How can I take advantage of this! ”

Zhang took the opportunity to talk: "This is nothing to do. I just said that I treat you as a family member, how can there be such a balance between this family? ”

Xie Jinlan was suddenly happy and didn't know what to say.

This time, without Xie Jinlan saying anything, Li Tiegen consciously found a rag and packed the dates.

The five cents that sold the dates were taken into his own pocket by the Zhang family.

And the hard work of five cents, under the signal of Li Tiegen's eyes, Xie Jinlan secretly stuffed it into his hand.

After leaving Li Tiezhu's house, the smile on Xie Jinlan's face remained unchanged, but this look instantly became a little deep.

Perhaps because of the autumn harvest season, and the fact that the weather has finally cleared up these days, most of the people, except for those who go out to work, are busy harvesting their own rice during the day.

Therefore, along the way, Xie Jinlan did not meet a few people.

Glancing at Ruan Yezhen, who was following him, Xie Jinlan's lips moved slightly: "Find a way to see if there are any scratches on Chen's arms." ”

Previously, when everyone was not paying attention, he had already observed that although there were some scars on the backs of Chen's hands, they were not scratches.

Ruan Yezhen was puzzled at first, and then her expression suddenly became a little excited: "Could it be that this is the evidence that Li Baoer left on the murderer?" ”

Xie Jinlan hummed lowly.

Ruan Yezhen was about to open her mouth, but instead she thought of something, and frowned distressedly: "But, how can I see it?" ”

Then he muttered in a low voice: "It's better to let Chen speak." ”

Xie Jinlan's eyebrows twisted slightly: "Why are you so sure, as long as you hear Chen's mouth, you can determine whether she is the real murderer?" ”

Ruan Yezhen bit her lower lip slightly, and the tangled look on her face was very obvious: "Xie Jinlan, can you not ask me this question?" I don't want to lie to you. ”

Xie Jinlan responded lightly: "Okay." ”

Ruan Yezhen was overjoyed, and then looked at Xie Jinlan with some guilt: "I'm sorry, it's just that I'm not ready to confess to you about this matter." ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen undeniably:

"Girl doesn't need to apologize, this is your private matter, and it has nothing to do with me. Remember, when you go back, find a way to check for scratches on Chen's arm. ”

Ruan Yezhen glanced at Xie Jinlan cautiously and said:

"Xie Jinlan, except when I am bathing, I am afraid that I will not be able to see Chen's arm on weekdays. However, after nightfall, I couldn't leave the area around the jujube tree to spy on Chen's bath. Do you have any way to get Chan to bathe in the daytime? ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen with a smile: "You figure it out yourself." ”

Ruan Yezhen, who felt that she was a little weak, was instantly aroused by Xie Jinlan's rather unbalanced appearance, and couldn't help glaring at him fiercely.

Xie Jinlan's face was still indifferent: "Staring at me is the same result." ”

Ruan Yezhen tilted her face to the side with some anger.

After following for a while, seeing that Xie Jinlan did not have the slightest intention of loosening, Ruan Yezhen could only reluctantly compromise: "Okay, then I'll think of it myself." ”

At this time, several children chased and fought, and Ruan Yezhen instantly remembered something: "By the way, what are you going to do about Xiaoya?" ”

Xie Jinlan paused slightly, and then glanced at Ruan Yezhen meaninglessly: "If I remember correctly, it seems that you, the girl, let me agree to Aunt Li's request, right?" ”

Ruan Yezhen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It seems that this is indeed the case." At that time, I just wanted Li Xiaoya to get out of that hellish home, but I really didn't think about how to place her. ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

Immediately, he spit out a sentence calmly: "If you haven't thought of how to place Li Xiaoya before you catch the real murderer, then it will be regarded as something I didn't promise my aunt." ”

Ruan Yezhen's eyes widened instantly: "You have promised Aunt Li, how can you not believe your words?" ”

Xie Jinlan looked ahead, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly:

"It is Jin Lan who has an agreement with Aunt Li, but it is not Xie Jinlan. Besides, I never think of myself as a gentleman. I promised you to do this, and I have done my duty. Is it possible, do you still want me to raise this little girl? ”

Ruan Yezhen was speechless for a moment, and after biting her lip slightly, she said, "Did I think of how to place Li Xiaoya, and you would take her away?" ”

Xie Jinlan said two premises: "As long as I don't let her follow me, as long as it's not too troublesome." ”

Ruan Yezhen glared at him angrily: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”

Xie Jinlan waved his hand lightly as if inadvertently.

A soft snort spilled from Ruan Yezhen's nose.

Xie Jinlan stopped, with a slight side of his face, and he couldn't see Ruan Yezhen's figure anymore.

Then he shook his head a little funny: This girl has a bit of a big temperament......

After returning to Li Daniu's house, Xie Jinlan found that Mo Yan and Li Youcai had not returned.

After returning to the house and placing the dates on the side of the dresser, he took out his shirt and ink strip and wrote down a new clue:

Chan ...... Mistreat......

Putting down the ink strip, Xie Jinlan once again fell into deep thought:

In this way, there is one more suspect. Moreover, Chen's motive for committing the crime is more clear than that of Widow Yang. What's more, the feasibility of Chen's crime is much greater than that of Widow Yang.

As for the information I received earlier, the Chen family was delivering food to the two brothers at that time...... Do you know that she didn't go and returned?

Perhaps, the Lin family will have a stomach upset, which is within the Chen family's plan! Perhaps, this was a premeditated murder!

Perhaps, Li Xiaoya's strange appearance in the kitchen at that time was because Chen happened to be seen by her when she was handling the piece of linen......
