This time, there was no need for Xie Jinlan to say anything, he just glanced at him, and Lu Zhuai consciously led the jailers to avoid it.

Chen Qing looked at Xie Jinlan with a faint expectation in his eyes: "What did the adults find?" ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, and then asked straight to the point: "Ziyu, did you drink cow's milk on the night you stayed at the inn?" ”

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment: "Milk? ”

After recalling for a moment, he shook his head slightly: "I don't like that thing, so I didn't let Xiao Er prepare." ”

After a pause, he added, "But what's wrong with the milk?" ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Not bad! The candle in your room contains the juice of lavender, and if you light the candle and drink milk, you will fall asleep for five hours. ”

When Chen Qing heard this, his pupils constricted. Between the lightning and flint, he thought of something:

"The chopped pepper fish that day had a very strong taste. I thought it was the inn's chef who preferred heavy bites, but now that I think about it, it's very likely that someone tried to cover up the smell of milk. ”

Ruan Yezhen's eyebrows frowned slightly: "But now, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to verify whether there is a problem with the chopped pepper fish that day." ”

Xie Jinlan said: "That's not necessarily. ”

Before the two of them could speak, he looked at Chen Qing: "Ziyu, did you want to eat the chopped pepper fish that day?" Or is it recommended by Xiao Er? ”

Chen Qingdao: "Neither. It was when I was checking in at the counter that I listened to a table of guests not far away and wanted to try it. ”

Ruan Yezhen said: "In this way, it doesn't seem to be artificial. ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head lightly and said, "Do you know that the person who talks about chopping pepper fish is not arranged in advance?" ”

Ruan Yezhen felt reasonable, and then looked at Chen Qing: "Do you remember the appearance of the guests at that table?" ”

Chen Qing was quite annoyed and said, "Those people turned their backs to me, and I didn't look back at them. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Even if you know who those people are, I'm afraid it's not much use." ”

Ruan Yezhen and Chen Qing were stunned for a moment, and then understood what he meant.

Since the people behind the scenes dare to let people appear in the lobby of the inn openly, they are not afraid that someone will find something and look for that line to investigate.

In the silence of the two, Xie Jinlan said again: "But the cook of the inn can check it out." ”

Ruan Yezhen was puzzled: "Since that person is not afraid that we will find out the guests at that table, will there be any flaws left by the cook?" ”

Chen Qing looked at Xie Jinlan and was silent. Obviously, there are the same doubts.

Xie Jinlan said: "It's better than nothing, at least we can prove Ziyu's innocence." ”

Ruan Yezhen said again: "If the cook doesn't admit it, what should we do?" We did not have any evidence to prove that there was a problem with the chopped pepperfish that day. ”

Xie Jinlan smiled meaningfully: "How does he know that we have no evidence?" ”

Ruan Yezhen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You mean ......"

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating." ”

Then he looked at Chen Qing: "Ziyu, since you entered Xinlin County, have you encountered any people or things that are not right?" Even if it's a subtle anomaly! ”

Chen Qing frowned and thought hard, and only after half a sound did he say with some uncertainty: "I have encountered an incident, but I don't know if it counts." ”

Xie Jinlan said: "You just have to talk about it." ”

Chen Qing recalled the young couple he met when he first entered Xinlin County.

Judging from what the two of them were wearing at the time, although their family backgrounds were not rich, they should be considered good.

At that time, the two of them looked a little flustered, and they didn't notice that someone was coming in front of them, and they knocked the person to the ground directly.

After the two dropped a sentence of "I'm sorry", they left in a hurry.

Although Chen Qing, who was knocked down, felt that the two of them were acting recklessly, he would not be careful to deal with them.

Besides, the man was tall and tall, and he was no match for that man as a thin scholar......

Xie Jinlan groaned slightly, and then said, "Do you remember the appearance of the husband and wife?" ”

Chen Qing recalled for a moment and said, "I roughly remember. ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Lu Zhu, hurry!" ”

After Lu Zhu came quickly, he asked him to prepare the four treasures of the study and the tools.

Lu Zhu glanced at Chen Qing in prison, didn't ask much, and left directly.

In just a moment, Lu Zhu and several jailers came in with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

After they put their things at the prison door, Xie Jinlan waved them back again.

Chen Qing immediately took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to study and paint on the low table in the prison.

Chen Qinghan has studied hard for more than ten years, and everyone only knows that he is knowledgeable, but they don't know that he is even better at painting, especially good at figure painting.

This point was also discovered by Xie Jinlan when he was in Lin'an County.

In just a quarter of an hour, the faces of a man and a woman leaped onto the page.

After gently drying the ink on the paper, Chen Qing took two portraits and handed them to Xie Jinlan: "This is the couple I saw that day." ”

After Xie Jinlan took it, he glanced at it. After discovering that he had not seen these two people, he handed the two portraits to Ruan Yezhen on the side.

Ruan Yezhen took a look, and her gaze fell directly on the young woman's face, her eyebrows frowning slightly.

Chen Qing and Xie Jinlan both discovered her strangeness.

Xie Jinlan said: "Have you seen this person?" ”

Ruan Yezhen first shook her head, then nodded, and said, "In my memory, I have never seen this woman. But looking at her face, I felt a little familiar. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Maybe it's just passing by." ”

Ruan Yezhen really couldn't remember who this person was, maybe it was really as Xie Jinlan said, just a quick glance.

After Xie Jinlan took the portrait and folded it, he said goodbye to Chen Qing.

After getting out of prison, Xie Jinlan handed over the two portraits to Lu Zhukuai: "The two people in this portrait, can Lu Zhukuai know each other?" ”

Lu Zhu quickly opened it and looked at it, and immediately looked surprised, and then asked a little cautiously: "Dare to ask Lord Xie, did these two commit a crime?" ”

Lu Zhu's quick demeanor directly showed that he knew these two people, and he may still have some friendship.

Xie Jinlan said: "These two people may have something to do with Ying's death. ”

Lu Zhukuai blurted out directly: "This is impossible!" ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at him meaningfully and said, "How did Lu Zhukuai know that it was impossible?" Could it be that you were staying with these two at the time? ”

Lu Zhukuai didn't want to hide anything, and he didn't have any intention of being empty when he heard the words:

"That man's name is Zhang Qianglin, and he grew up with a humble watch. He has always been very timid, and he doesn't even dare to kill chickens on weekdays, let alone kill people. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "So Lu Zhukuai just inferred that he didn't kill people based on his usual behavior, not real evidence, right?" ”

Lu Zhukuai was suddenly dumbfounded, opened his mouth to say something, and finally just lowered his shoulders in despair.
