Chapter 61: Meet Again
Seeing Master Chen hurriedly take a few arresters to the place where the murderer threw his body, Xie Jinlan shook his head helplessly: Whenever he encounters something related to the case, Master Chen is always so concerned.
Mo Yan looked at Master Chen and the others not far away, then at Xie Jinlan in front of him, and asked curiously, "Do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
Xie Jinlan snorted lightly, and then walked towards Master Chen's bookkeeper.
"Xie Jinlan!"
It's just that Xie Jinlan has just taken a step, and a quite familiar and slightly anxious female voice came into his ears very clearly.
Xie Jinlan paused, followed the prestige, and sure enough, he saw Ruan Yezhen, who was dressed in bed clothes, standing not far from the lotus pond.
Seeing that his gaze fell on him, Ruan Yezhen's face couldn't help but show a little joy.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Jinlan's eyes, and he casually dropped a sentence: "Mo Yan, this official looks around, you don't have to follow." ”
Then he walked slowly towards Ruan Yezhen's place seemingly casually.
Mo Yan didn't think there was anything strange about what his adults said and did. After looking around, he still decided to go to Master Chen's place.
When Xie Jinlan walked to him, Ruan Yezhen's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to open her mouth: "Xie Jinlan, it's really good to see you here!" ”
Xie Jinlan's eyebrows twisted slightly: "Miss Ruan, aren't you going back?" Why is it still in Lin'an County? ”
Speaking of this, Ruan Yezhen couldn't understand herself: "Since you and I parted that day, when I opened my eyes again, I appeared here." And then I saw you. ”
Her gaze inadvertently fell on the catcher not far away.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Jinlan, her pupils shrunk, and her voice trembled slightly: "Here, but there are dead people?" ”
Xie Jinlan bowed slightly: "Yes, the deceased is the only son of Wang Yuanwai, Wang Tianci." ”
Ruan Yezhen only felt that this name was quite familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, she already had an impression in her mind: "But the fat man you and I met on the street that time?" As I remember, he also gave you a jade pendant. ”
After receiving Xie Jinlan's affirmation, Ruan Yezhen looked around: "This seems to be a garden. ”
Then his gaze moved to Xie Jinlan's body: "Who is this in the house?" Then how was Wang Tianci killed? ”
Xie Jinlan said in a low voice: "This is the garden in the palace of Wang Yuanwai, and some witnesses saw someone throwing Wang Tianci into the lotus pond. It's just that I don't know if Wang Tianci was dead at that time. ”
When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she suddenly felt sad.
Maybe it was the relationship some time ago that made her a little dependent on Xie Jinlan. At this moment, the grievances in her heart can no longer be suppressed:
"Xie Jinlan, do you think I will be like this in the future? Once someone dies without explanation, I'll be trapped at the scene of the crime? Once the truth is revealed, will I disappear until the next murder? ”
Tears scrambled out of her eyes and then down her face.
The slightly crying words, coupled with the silent tears, instantly made Xie Jinlan a little at a loss.
Looking around, seeing that everyone's attention was not here, Xie Jinlan's figure shifted slightly, and he covered his figure with the help of trees, and then said in a low voice: "Miss Ruan, don't worry, maybe things are not as bad as you think." ”
Ruan Yezhen raised her hand and gently wiped the tears on her cheeks, and looked at him with a little hope: "Really? Will I still have a chance to return to my body? Returning to your loved ones? ”
For some reason, looking at such a fragile Ruan Yezhen, Xie Jinlan couldn't tell the truth, the corners of his mouth twitched for a moment, and finally nodded against his will: "Perhaps, after you help enough deceased people find the real culprit, you will be able to return to normal." ”
Ruan Yezhen finally burst into tears and laughed: "Xie Jinlan, I believe you won't lie to me." ”
Catching up with her sincere eyes without the slightest impurity, Xie Jinlan looked away a little uncomfortably, and responded in a low voice.
The next moment, Ruan Yezhen frowned again:
"Xie Jinlan, if such a thing happens in the future, you are not by my side, what should I do? No one can see my existence, how can I do justice to the dead? ”
Xie Jinlan coughed lightly with his fist to his lips, and then said, "You can come to me in Lin'an during the day, and I will think of ways to help you at that time." ”
Ruan Yezhen's eyes flashed a hint of cunning, and a smile appeared on her face again: "Xie Jinlan, then we can just say it!" It's the puppy that deceives people! ”
With such a look, how could Xie Jinlan not know that he had been fooled? But he didn't get angry, but responded helplessly: "Okay, it's the puppy who deceives people." ”
Ruan Yezhen completely relieved her heart at this time, and then thought of something, and looked at Xie Jinlan with some uncertainty: "Xiaobai...... Have you taken good care of me? ”
Seeing that Ruan Yezhen had regained her previous vitality, Xie Jinlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Hearing this, he glanced at Ruan Yezhen with a smile: "If I say, I drank the Xiaobai stew, how will you stay?" ”
Ruan Yezhen's eyes widened suddenly, and she pointed at Xie Jinlan with a trembling finger: "You...... You...... Xie Jinlan, you promised me! You promised me that I would take good care of Xiaobai! ”
Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a little playfulness on his face: "Oh? When did I promise you to take care of that little green snake? ”
Ruan Yezhen blurted out: "It's in Li ......"
As soon as the words came out, she paused abruptly.
Yes, that day in front of Li Xiaoya's grave, she only had time to hand over Jinlan to take care of Xiaobai. As for whether Xie Jinlan agreed, she really didn't know.
After thinking about it, Ruan Yezhen asked without giving up: "Xiaobai, it...... Is it really gone? ”
Looking at Ruan Yezhen's slightly red eyes, Xie Jinlan also knew the truth that he would accept it when he saw it, and chuckled, and said, "Don't worry, that little green snake happens to live next door to me now." ”
Ruan Yezhen was stunned when she heard this.
The next moment, she glared at Xie Jinlan angrily: "Xie Jinlan, is it fun to play me?" Do you know what I really thought I was just ...... Thought you had eaten Xiaobai! ”
Xie Jinlan lightly dropped a sentence: "In order to raise that little green snake, I have taken great pains." Then he turned around and walked towards Master Chen's book.
This sentence not only extinguished the fire in Ruan Yezhen's heart, but also aroused a little guilt in her heart.
Ruan Yezhen's movable range is within a radius of three feet from the scene of the crime. And where Chen Zhushu and the others are at the moment happens to be where she can reach.
Silently following behind Xie Jinlan, Ruan Yezhen raised her eyes and peeked at him from time to time. His lips moved, and he stopped talking.
