Master Chen was sitting precariously: "Yes, my lord!" He immediately told the results of the investigation for more than half a month.

The reason why Yang Yuanwai was present that day was because he had a secret private meeting with another suspect, Lin Xue'er.

It is said that at Yang Yuanwai's age, even being Lin Xue'er's grandfather is enough. It's unbelievable that there is a personal affair between these two people. But that's exactly what happened.

If it weren't for Yang Yuanwai who came up with enough credible evidence, anyone would think that he was climbing and biting others indiscriminately in order to clear his suspicion.

According to Yang Yuanwai, he met Lin Xueer by chance when he was out to inspect a shop. At that time, when he saw Lin Xueer's beauty, he had the heart to hook up. Who knew that after Lin Xue'er learned his identity, she was very easily hooked.

After a few conversations, after learning that Lin Xue'er was Wang Tianci's new concubine, Yang Yuanwai's attitude towards her was much better.

He originally wanted to use Lin Xue'er to obtain some secrets of the Wang family's shop, but who expected that Lin Xue'er would be useless at all, and he gave away so many jewels in vain.

On that day, at Wang Yuanwai's birthday banquet, Yang Yuanwai drank some wine to get interested, and wanted to make love to her in Wang Yuanwai's mansion. So he sent a trustworthy retinue to deliver the message.

Lin Xue'er is also cautious, but she didn't want to go. Helplessly, Yang Yuanwai had evidence of fornication between the two in his hand, so she could only respond.

Who knew that that night, Wang Tianci was murdered. The two of them can't expose their relationship, so they can only grit their teeth and admit that they have no alibi.

If it weren't for Xie Jinlan's threat of imprisonment, Yang Yuanwai would not have told the truth.

As for Aunt Zhen, before joining the foreign government, there was a childhood sweetheart who talked about marriage. It's just that her father coveted the wealth of the Wang family and forced her to become Wang Tianci's concubine.

And her childhood sweetheart also left the country sadly, and has not been heard from since.

As for an old incident five years ago......

It's the strange thing that Li Daniu said before. It's just that Master Chen's investigation is clearer.

The name of the girl who left the house was Zhang Xiaomei, and she entered the house when Wang Tianci was nine years old.

A few months later, when Mrs. Wang saw that she was sensible and capable, she sent her to serve Wang Tianci.

Although Wang Tianci was a little arrogant at that time, he was far less lawless than he was later. For the beautiful girl sent by his mother, he accepted it very happily.

When he came back from school, he often pulled Zhang Xiaomei and told her about the interesting things that happened in the school. When he finished the homework left by his master, he always taught her to read and write. Over the past few years, Zhang Xiaomei has also learned a lot.

As he grew older, Wang Tianci gradually had a different mind about Zhang Xiaomei.

Five years ago, a few days before Wang Tianci's fourteenth birthday, when his mother-in-law proposed to choose a ** Yahuan for him, he immediately said Zhang Xiaomei's name.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaomei signed a living deed when she entered the house, and she only signed it for five years. In addition, everyone in the house knows that she has a fiancé, and as soon as her sixteenth birthday is over and the living contract expires, that person will come to the Yuanwaifu to marry her.

At that time, Zhang Xiaomei's sixteenth birthday was only three months away.

Wang Tianci naturally knew about this. It's just that he has been used to the wind and rain since he was a child, where will he lose the thoughts in his heart because of this?

Seeing his mother-in-law's euphemistic refusal, he was coquettish and behaved. Mrs. Wang was so entangled by him that she could only call Zhang Xiaomei to ask about it.

Zhang Xiaomei refused to respond.

Since then, Wang Tianci has made no secret of his thoughts about Zhang Xiaomei, and his actions on weekdays have become more and more blatant.

Zhang Xiaomei was so unbearable that she could only go to Mrs. Wang and ask for her to be transferred elsewhere.

One is a sister-in-law who has been raised since childhood, and the other is a maid who entered the house five years ago. Who is close and who is sparse, it is naturally clear at a glance.

Mrs. Wang just said something soft, but she didn't transfer Zhang Xiaomei away from Wang Tianci's side, nor did she let Wang Tianci restrain anything.

Maybe she couldn't bear such days, one morning, Yahuan, who lived in the same room with Zhang Xiaomei, found that she had left the Yuanwai Mansion with her bags at some point, leaving only a letter on the table.

In the letter, she stated that she was going to run to her fiancé, so that everyone did not need to worry.

Wang Tianci may not be able to accept this fact, but he directly launched a high fever. There was a lot of nonsense during this period.

Apologetic words such as "I'm sorry", "forgive me", and "I didn't mean to" overflowed from his mouth from time to time.

……

After Master Chen's words fell, Xie Jinlan tapped the desktop, raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Where was Lin Zirou on that day?" ”

Master Chen said: "It is said that Lin Zirou and her mother Zeng Mama took leave early that morning and returned home, saying that Lin Guan accidentally injured his foot the day before. ”

Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Such a coincidence? ”

Master Chen bowed slightly: "The lower officials also think that this matter is too coincidental." It's just that after many verifications, Steward Lin did hurt his foot the day before, and he had been raising for more than three months. ”

Xie Jinlan asked again: "Back then, did that Zhang Xiaomei really leave the Yuanwaifu and go to her fiancé?" ”

Master Chen's eyebrows frowned slightly: "It's strange to say." Back then, everyone knew that Zhang Xiaomei had a fiancé, but no one in the Yuanwai Mansion had seen that person, and they didn't know who his surname was and where he lived. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Oh? Is that Zhang Xiaomei from Lin'an County? ”

Master Chen shook his head, and nodded again:

Zhang Xiaomei came to Lin'an County with her mother when she was seven years old, and the two settled here. After the death of her mother, she entered the Foreign Mansion. Counting it, it's half a Lin'an person. ”

Xie Jinlan said that he understood, and then asked: "In those years, did anyone come to Lin'an County to find their mother and daughter?" ”

Master Chen shook his head: "No, only their mother and daughter depend on each other. ”

Xie Jinlan groaned slightly, and then said: "In this way, it is not yet known whether Zhang Xiaomei really went to her fiancé back then. ”

Master Chen's eyebrows narrowed slightly: "After so many years, many things have been impossible to verify, and it is a little difficult to find out whether the truth of the year was really so." ”

Xie Jinlan smiled: "Isn't there a saying that 'paper can't hold fire'?" As long as something has happened, no matter how many years have passed, it will definitely leave a trace. ”

Master Chen's face was slightly suspicious: "What do you mean?" ”

Xie Jinlan said: "You go to check again, who was close to Zhang Xiaomei five years ago, no matter whether that person is still in the Yuanwaifu now, maybe he can find out something from the other party's mouth." ”

Master Chen stood up and bowed: "The subordinate officer receives the order!" ”
