How annoyed and regretted not mentioning it here.

said that after Xie Jinlan entered the inner room, after catching a glimpse of Ruan Yezhen who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, he subconsciously relaxed his movements.

I don't know if Ruan Yezhen was worried about the daytime in her heart, or for some other reason, not long after Xie Jinlan sat down in front of the bookcase, she opened her eyes sleepily:

"You're finally back."

With a slightly confused voice came into Xie Jinlan's ears, making his movements subconsciously pause, and he looked up, with a little apology on his face:

"Did I wake you up?"

Ruan Yezhen shook her head slightly, rubbed her eyes lightly and slowly sat up: "Because I have doubts, I have never fallen asleep. ”

Xie Jinlan understood: "But is it because of Ying's and Jiang Yingyu? ”

Ruan Yezhen bowed slightly, got up and put on her coat and walked to Xie Jinlan's side, and after seeing the blank rice paper on the bookcase and Xie Jinlan's hand slowly grinding ink, she said:

"But do you want to sort out the clues and doubts in Ying's case?"

Xie Jinlan replied lightly, then put down the ink strip and looked at Ruan Yezhen: "Together?" ”

Ruan Yezhen was overjoyed, but quickly frowned lightly: "You once said in the day that the word 'Yu' on Ying's chest is directed at Jiang Yingyu. Why do you think so? ”

Xie Jinlan didn't answer and asked: "What about you, how did you guess?" ”

Ruan Yezhen glared at him fiercely: "Knowingly, what is the difference between you acting like you in the county government during the day, and then mentioning the words engraved on Ying's chest, and directly telling me that there is a connection between the two?" ”

The corners of Xie Jinlan's mouth hooked slightly: "It's not too stupid." ”

In Ruan Yezhen's faintly fiery eyes, he said unhurriedly:

"That's what I realized today. Jiang Yingyu's correspondence is not only perfunctory, what else do you see? ”

When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she didn't care about being angry with Xie Jinlan, and immediately thought about it.

After a while, Ruan Yezhen looked at Xie Jinlan with some uncertainty:

"If it weren't for your intervention, Chen Qing would probably be directly convicted of Ying's murderer. In addition to the fact that Jiang Yingyu never does practical things for the people, perhaps he also wants to finalize the case as soon as possible, so that Ying's case can end as soon as possible.

In this way, some unknown secrets can be buried forever. Today, he took the initiative to mention helping Chen Qing get rid of his crimes, perhaps because he was afraid that you would find out that he had something to do with Ying's family, and you could use this as an exchange condition to make you turn a blind eye. Am I right? ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Not bad! At the beginning, when Jiang Yingyu said that he could get Chen Qing out of prison openly, I thought he was currying favor with me for his son-in-law Jiang Xingqi. But after thinking about it, I don't think so. ”

Ruan Yezhen said: "Then in your opinion, is Jiang Yingyu related to Ying's death?" ”

Xie Jinlan didn't hesitate at all: "It has nothing to do." ”

Ruan Yezhen was suddenly surprised: "Why? There is an ulterior affair between Jiang Yingyu and Ying, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is a contradiction between the two. ”

Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows: "Adultery? ”

Ruan Yezhen said: "Isn't it? Don't you agree with it? ”

Xie Jinlan said: "I just agree that there is some kind of unknown secret between Jiang Yingyu and Ying's, and I have never said that the two of them have a personal relationship. ”

Ruan Yezhen suddenly blurted out: "Didn't Sun Er say that the engraving on Ying's chest is ......"

Speaking of this, she was abruptly stunned.

Wrong!

Sun Er meant at the time that the words engraved on Ying's chest were the names of the people he had asked Ying to sleep with in order to pay off his debts.

And this is just Sun Er's speculation!

If those words are not what Sun Er said, what would they represent? Could this be a killing attempt that led to Ying's death......

When Ruan Yezhen came back to her senses from her thoughts, she saw Xie Jinlan holding a pen and writing clues related to Ying's case on rice paper.

Catching a glimpse of Xie Jinlan's serious look, Ruan Yezhen temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart, and stood quietly aside looking at the handwriting on the rice paper, not bothering.

After Xie Jinlan put down the brush, Ruan Yezhen pointed to a place on the rice paper and said:

"There was a tiny scratch on the ground, in the shape of a ripple of water, about an inch long. You found this at the scene of the crime? ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly.

Ruan Yezhen suddenly became a little angry: "Then why didn't you say it at the beginning?" ”

Xie Jinlan shrugged his shoulders slightly, and finally spit out two words without regret: "I forgot." ”

Ruan Yezhen grinded her teeth secretly, I am afraid that she didn't forget, but she never thought about telling her at all!

seemed to see what Ruan Yezhen was thinking, Xie Jinlan immediately took the initiative to talk about this clue:

"When I first found out about this, I wasn't sure it was related to the case, but my instincts made me remember it. To this day, I still have no idea whether the scratches are related to this case. ”

When it came to business, Ruan Yezhen didn't have the heart to worry about him, so she pointed to another place on the rice paper and said, "What does the 'three' character under the stone table have to do with the inscription on Ying's chest?" ”

Xie Jinlan didn't answer, but just picked up a pen and wrote a big 'three' on another blank piece of rice paper.

After putting down the brush, he asked, "If you look closely at this character, do you find anything?" ”

Ruan Yezhen looked at it intently and thought about it carefully.

Suddenly, she showed a sudden look on her face, and directly picked up the pen and added a few strokes to the word 'three', and then it became 'Yu'. After a pause, she added a few more strokes to the word 'Yu', which became the word 'Yu'.

After putting down the brush, Ruan Yezhen met Xie Jinlan's eyes with a slight smile, and the anger she had suppressed in her heart suddenly disappeared. There was even a faint joy rising from the bottom of my heart.

Biting her lower lip slightly, Ruan Yezhenfu moved her gaze to the word again, and said:

"Perhaps the word under the stone table is not 'three', but 'yu'. It's just that the blood word was discovered by the murderer, so he didn't do anything and changed it directly to 'three'.

The word 'three' is twisted and rough, and even if it is discovered by others, others will only think that this is a clue left by the deceased holding on to his last breath. ”

Speaking of this, Ruan Yezhen exhaled softly, and continued: "Just like we thought at the beginning. ”

After the words fell, she looked at Xie Jinlan again: "Is my guess right?" ”

Xie Jinlan first nodded, and then shook his head:

"You're guessing in a good direction, but you've forgotten what I just said? Jiang Yingyu had nothing to do with Ying's death.

Jiang Yingyu is a county magistrate, and if he wants to put Ying's family to death, there are many ways to kill her quietly. Why did you make this case known to everyone?

Moreover, I asked Mo Yan to secretly investigate Jiang Yingyu's traces from that day to the time when Ying's body was found.

That night he stayed in Xiaoyu Pavilion, and left the next day at nearly ten o'clock. Therefore, he had ample alibi. ”
