Chapter 224: The Residence of the Deceased

After learning the key clues from Zhang Qianglin and his wife, Xie Jinlan and the others immediately planned to investigate.

Lu Zhukuai also wanted to follow, but his face was almost recognized by almost everyone in Xinlin County. If he goes to Xiaoyu Pavilion with him, there is a chance that he will startle the snake.

After leaving Lu Zhukuai's house, Xie Jinlan asked Mo Yan to go to the Liuxie Inn to investigate Chen Qing's cook who made chopped pepper fish on the day of his stay. And he took Ruan Yezhen to Xiaoyu Pavilion again.

Only last time, they entered through the main entrance openly. And this time, they are afraid that they will be a gentleman.

The two know that the current key to this case is probably on Feng's mother.

It's just that if they go directly to the door, Feng's mother is afraid that she will deny it.

The two discussed it and agreed that it was better to be simple and rude than beating around the bush, so they simply kidnapped Feng's mother and forced them to ask.

Except for the dead, there are few ordinary people who are not afraid of death. I don't believe that I can't pry open Feng's mother's mouth.

......

When the two found the roof of Feng's mother's bedroom, they found that Feng's mother was taking a nap at the moment.

This is a godsend!

The two no longer hesitated, and immediately decided to divide labor and cooperate.

Ruan Yezhen was responsible for controlling the wind on the roof, and Xie Jinlan sneaked into the room to kidnap people.

In just a moment, Ruan Yezhen saw Xie Jinlan carrying Feng's mother who had fallen asleep and returned.

The two of them did not linger any longer and hurried away.

On the way, Ruan Yezhen asked in a low voice: "Why don't we take Mother Feng to Lu Zhutou's house." ”

After all, it is the closest and safest place to Xiaoyu Pavilion.

Xie Jinlan rolled his eyes, and did shake his head slightly: "I know a better place to go." ”

Ruan Yezhen looked at him suspiciously.

Xie Jinlan smiled silently.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ruan Yezhen followed Xie Jinlan's steps to a backyard.

Listening to the noise faintly coming from the front, Ruan Yezhen looked at Xie Jinlan and frowned slightly: "Is this place really safe?" ”

Xie Jinlan said undeniably: "Safety or not is secondary, there is a place where it may be easier to break through Feng's mother's heart." ”

The words fell, and without waiting for Ruan Yezhen to speak, he walked straight towards the route in his memory.

Ruan Yezhen followed for some reason.

In a moment, Xie Jinlan took Ruan Yezhen to the door of a dilapidated house that seemed to collapse at any time.

When he pushed the door in, Xie Jinlan dropped a sentence: "This is the backyard of 'Daughter Xiang'." ”

Ruan Yezhen was stunned for a moment, but came back to her senses in an instant. After looking left and right at the door, and making sure that there was no one around, she entered the room and closed the door.

At this moment, Xie Jinlan was very rude and threw Mother Feng next to a thick pillar, looking around for a rope that could tie people.

Ruan Yezhen took this opportunity to take a look at the house.

Looking at the furnishings in the room, it looks like an adult man's bedroom. It's just that it has been deserted for a long time, and dust has accumulated everywhere. The objects are also very old.

At first, I didn't understand why Xie Jinlan chose here, but at this moment, Ruan Yezhen had a guess:

"Xie Jinlan, isn't this the bedroom of the shopkeeper of the 'daughter Xiang' who died mysteriously ten years ago?"

Xie Jinlan finally found a long strip of cloth in the wardrobe that could barely be used as a rope. "Yes, I found some essays in the drawer of the bookcase, and the money on them happened to be the shopkeeper Du who died that year."

Seeing Xie Jinlan walking towards Feng's mother with a long strip of cloth, Ruan Yezhen also stepped forward to help.

"So in your opinion, Mother Feng not only has a great relationship with Ying's death, but even more, she is also the real murderer who killed Du's shopkeeper back then?"

Xie Jinlan said while tying Feng's mother to the pillar:

"Not bad. Now in Ying's case, all the evidence points to Xiaoyu Pavilion, and in Xiaoyu Pavilion, Feng's mother is the most suspicious.

Ten years ago, the ten little red dots that appeared on the back of the shopkeeper Du's death made me very concerned. It is similar to the ten small red dots on Ying's fingers. Perhaps the real cause of Ying's death is the truth about the death of the shopkeeper Du back then. ”

Ruan Yezhen didn't lower her eyes, thoughtful.

After tying up Feng's mother, Xie Jinlan took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered the lower half of his face. Then he wiped a handful of dust on the ground and applied it directly to the exposed face.

Then he rolled on the spot and got dirty.

For a moment, the place where the three of them were was dusty.

Ruan Yezhen frowned lightly, covered her mouth and nose and coughed lightly.

She guessed Xie Jinlan's purpose. Just after looking at the dust on the ground, she suddenly looked disgusted, and she couldn't do it.

Xie Jinlan glanced at her and said, "You just need to find a place to prevent Mother Feng from seeing your face and hearing your true voice." ”

Ruan Yezhen was immediately overjoyed, but she still took out a handkerchief from her arms and covered the lower half of her face.

Catching up with Xie Jinlan's rather speechless eyes, she smiled and said, "It's better to talk than nothing." ”

It wasn't until Ruan Yezhen retreated behind Feng's mother that Xie Jinlan took a chair from the side and put it in front of Feng's mother, and then untied Feng's mother's sleeping hole.

When Feng's mother woke up slowly, the flying dust had not yet settled, and she was successfully choked.

It took a few moments of coughing before she recovered.

Only then did she see a man sitting in front of her, covered in dirt and unable to see his face clearly.

She tried to get up, but found that her hands and feet were tied and she couldn't move. Suddenly shocked and angry: "Who are you?" Where is this? What are you holding me up for here? ”

Xie Jinlan deliberately said in a thick voice: "It doesn't matter who I am. As for where this is...... Mother Feng might as well take a closer look. ”

Mother Feng glanced at Xie Jinlan vigilantly, and then looked around cautiously.

It's just that the more she looks at this, the more frightened she becomes. Although she tried her best to show composure, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a little imperceptible panic.

If Xie Jinlan hadn't been paying attention to her demeanor, I am afraid that she would not have seen anything unusual.

Mother Feng pretended to be calm and looked at Xie Jinlan: "What do you want me to see in such a dilapidated house?" ”

There was just the right amount of irritation on his face.

Xie Jinlan couldn't help but say secretly in her heart: She is worthy of being a woman who has been crawling in the Qinglou for many years, and her disguised kung fu is not comparable to ordinary people.

But there was a sneer on his face, and he said, "Doesn't Mother Feng feel that this place is very familiar?" Even if ten years have passed, how could Feng's mother forget all about the residence of the deceased? ”

Feng's mother has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Du on the surface, but the relationship in private is definitely not too simple.

When Mother Feng heard this, her pupils suddenly shrank: "You...... Who are you? ”

Xie Jinlan said: "I have already said that it doesn't matter who I am. I just want to know, how did the shopkeeper Du die back then? ”
