Li Xueyan said with a smile: "It's just a casual remark, how could I think that the people in your mansion really believe it." Is it because of this that Master Qiao let us in because he was afraid that it would not look good? I'm too reluctant to do that, and it sounds like I'm threatening you. ”

The corners of Master Qiao's mouth twitched, aren't you?!

He was just afraid that Li Xueyan's woman would really break in if she said she wanted to break in, Li Xueyan would forget it herself, it didn't matter if she was embarrassed many times, but could a big family like them do that kind of thing?

Whether it is to break into someone else's house or be broken into by someone else, this is not the result he wants to see. Otherwise, he didn't want to see Li Xueyan enter his door at all.

"Just say anything about it." Master Qiao was too lazy to talk to Li Xueyan about this and that, the young man was sharp-tongued, and he couldn't talk about it. What's more, he's so old, what's it like to talk about a little girl?

"Since you asked me to speak directly, then I will speak directly. I'm here just to ask, does the death of the worker of the Duan family have anything to do with you? Li Xueyan asked straight to the point, without beating around the bush at all.

After she asked, she stared straight at Master Qiao, trying to find the answer she wanted from his face.

did not disappoint Li Xueyan, although Master Qiao reacted quickly, he still did not cover up the flaws that he revealed when he first heard Li Xueyan's questioning. At that time, he was obviously flustered for a moment, although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Li Xueyan to confirm what he was thinking.

"What are you talking about? What does the death of the Duan family worker have to do with our Qiao family? Master Qiao asked with a smile, his tone as brisk as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Li Xueyan smiled and nodded, but did not take her eyes off his face, but maintained the interrogation-like gaze from before.

After a while, Li Xueyan also smiled, "Yes, I just asked casually." No matter how you think about it, this shouldn't have anything to do with your family. Although everyone knows that Qiao Linger has always liked Duan Yunfei, but it is a shame that she was divorced in the end, but she won't frame the Duan family, right? How can anyone hold such a grudge? ”

"Be careful what you say!" Master Qiao suddenly raised his voice, "If you say what I say, I have no opinion, but I can't agree to bring up the little girl in the family to talk about things." ”

Li Xueyan hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll just say it casually, why did Master Qiao react so much?" ”

Master Qiao didn't want to speak, no matter what the reaction was, he didn't want to give it to Li Xueyan. He felt that he was wrong, he originally thought that Li Xueyan came over today to find out the truth of the matter, but now it seems that she came here just to sneer at their family, right?

"Master Joe?" Li Xueyan asked again, still smiling. But in Master Qiao's opinion, it was much worse than when she wasn't laughing.

"Is there anything else you guys are doing?"

Li Xueyan stood up and made a farewell, "I can't hide it, I came today to find out about the dead workers of the Duan family, but since Master Qiao said that it has nothing to do with your family, then it doesn't matter." In that case, I'll take my leave. ”

Master Qiao also stood up, "Walk slowly." ”

When he got up, there was a slight crisp collision sound, which attracted the attention of Li Xueyan and Gu Hengzhi at the same time. The voice came from Master Qiao's waist, and when Li Xueyan and the others looked over, they just happened to see a small piece of jade pendant exposed.

"This thing on Master Qiao's waist...... It looks pretty good. Li Xueyan asked casually.

Master Qiao followed Li Xueyan's gaze and looked down at his waist, "This is carved from a jade gift from a friend a long time ago." Probably because he was talking about something he was interested in, his voice softened a lot.

Li Xueyan took advantage of the fact that his attention was not on them, and glanced at Gu Hengzhi, who nodded.

Li Xueyan was sure that she was not mistaken, it seemed that the jade pendant hanging on his body should be the same thing as the one they took out of the deceased's throat before. However, just looking at Li Xueyan like this can't be confirmed, if you can take it to your hand and take a closer look, it should be more certain.

"Then Master Qiao, can you lend me this jade pendant?" Li Xueyan showed a very interested expression, and she tried her best to make it look like she was really interested in the jade pendant, and not for any other purpose.

If Li Xueyan can look in the mirror and look at her expression at this time, maybe she herself will feel that she is acting too similar, just like the real thing.

Master Qiao was silent after listening to Li Xueyan's request, and Li Xueyan could tell from his expression that he was struggling with something. If someone likes something about it, they should be happy, and as long as it's not for other purposes, it doesn't matter if you borrow it. Master Qiao is probably afraid that they have other purposes now.

Li Xueyan waited for his answer silently, but the expression on her face clearly said that not showing it meant being stingy. So Master Qiao didn't bother any more, isn't it just a jade pendant? If she wants to, just show her, Master Qiao thought so, and took off the jade pendant he was wearing on his waist.

"It's worthy of Master Qiao, it's generous." Li Xueyan sighed, took the jade pendant handed to her by Master Qiao and looked at it carefully. When he looked at it, he still showed an expression of appreciation, even if what he was thinking about had nothing to do with the quality of this jade pendant.

"It's really a good piece of jade, Master Qiao's vision is good." Li Xueyan sighed when she handed the jade pendant back, as for the sincerity of the words, probably only she knows.

Li Xueyan's praise seemed to be very useful to Master Qiao, if it weren't for the other party being Li Xueyan, he would probably happily sigh around his jade.

Fortunately, as long as he thought of what a hateful person Li Xueyan in front of him was to the Qiao family, especially Qiao Ling'er, he didn't want to say anything more in his heart. He just nodded lightly in affirmation.

Just when Master Qiao was about to send off the guests again, Li Xueyan spoke again.

"I just don't know if there is any jade material left over when Master Qiao makes this jade pendant?"

She could clearly feel that when this sentence was asked, the person in front of her reacted much more than before. Li Xueyan thought that he was probably mentally prepared for a long time, thinking that Li Xueyan might directly ask him if he had anything to do with that incident, but he didn't expect Li Xueyan to ask about the leftovers of the jade pendant.

Master Qiao's abnormal reaction didn't last long, after all, he was also a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, so he wouldn't be able to cope with even this little thing.

He replied: "There will definitely be a surplus of jade materials, after all, making things like jade pendants, it is indeed easy to leave some corners and corners, but at that time, I thought that those things were useless and were all lost, if Miss Li wanted it, I couldn't take it out here......" Master Qiao made a very embarrassed expression.

Li Xueyan smiled: "That's it, that's me too abrupt." The main reason is that I like Master Qiao's jade very much, so I accidentally asked such an unreasonable question, and I hope that Master Qiao has a lot of it, so don't blame it. ”

"Where, where."

Li Xueyan and the others left with their front feet, and Mrs. Qiao walked in from outside the curtain with their back feet.

"Did she notice something, I think she's not just interested in your jade pendant." Mrs. Qiao took the jade pendant and looked at it, she was no less familiar with this jade pendant than Master Qiao.

Master Qiao shook his head, "I can't tell you clearly, do you remember when my beads disappeared?" ”

"I don't remember, just some time ago, suddenly I didn't see you play again."

"I don't know where I lost it......"

The bead they are talking about is a bead that Master Qiao likes very much, and he has almost carried it with him since the day he had a jade pendant. At that time, after the jade pendant was finished, he kept this bead in the remaining scraps, and then gradually, he liked the beads more than the jade pendant. I play with it in my hand almost every day, and before I know it, the edges and corners left by the original carving have been smoothed out a lot.

It's just that I don't know when it started, and he suddenly couldn't find his beads, and when he realized that he had lost something, he couldn't find it anymore.

The beads that Master Qiao couldn't find were holding in Li Xueyan's hands at this time. It's much cleaner than when it was first taken out of someone's throat, and there is no strange smell.

"Are you sure this is the same kind of jade as the jade pendant on Master Qiao's body?" Duan Yunfei felt very strange, if it was true, he couldn't say it, could it be that Master Qiao killed someone and deliberately left a mark on others, for fear that others would not know who killed the person? That's too much to say.

Li Xueyan nodded, "Jade must be the same piece of jade, yes, although I don't do antique business like their family, but I'm not blind, I can still tell the difference." But I also think it's strange, since it's his thing, and he doesn't seem to be deliberately framed, how can this piece of jade appear in the throat of a dead person? ”

Judging from Master Qiao's reaction today, the person was probably not killed by him, but it definitely has nothing to do with him. However, as the master of the Qiao family, he couldn't kill people in person, and he left evidence.

"We can't guess anything here now, it's better to find out who the dead person is first, in case that person is some enemy of Master Qiao, then he will definitely be happy to watch the other party die." Gu Hengzhi said.

Li Xueyan was very helpless, "It's useless for you to guess without evidence, but what you said is right, let's find out who the dead person is first." Then let's start with the workers of the Duan family and see if they know each other. ”

"Then since Duan Yunfei is the young master of the Duan family, then this matter will be handed over to ......"

"Leave it to me." The person who answered was not Duan Yunfei, but Duan Tianlan, who didn't know when he entered the house. "After all, this is our family's business, Duan Yunfei, this kid doesn't care about the family's property at all, he doesn't know when he will be able to settle down, or I'll do it myself."

Duan Yunfei had no opinion on Duan Tianlan's arrangement at all, anyway, just like Duan Tianlan said, Duan Yunfei didn't know much about the Duan family's industry, let alone the people in their factory.

"Okay, then start from the place where the dead person was found at the beginning, first find out if it is from your family, and if so, then investigate the identity of the deceased. Then I'll leave this matter to you, if there's anything you need my help with, just say it. Li Xueyan said.

"Okay, I'll figure it out."
