Chapter 178: No Father and No Mother
Yu Xia carefully held the confetti and asked Chen Dao:
"Can you find someone who touched this confetti through the residual breath on it?"
Chen Wei shook his head, "The paper is too small, and the smell is covered by other fragrances, so it is difficult to find a trace." ”
"Anyway, this is also a piece of physical evidence, so let's store it properly first."
As he spoke, he took a wooden box and asked Yu Xia to gently put the confetti in it.
A few people investigated again, but there were no other clues, it was still early, and there were still many Xuanshi on the first floor.
Yu Xia and the three of them had dinner, Chen Ji and Jiang Jiujiu went back to Daoyuan Hall to deal with some affairs, and Yu Xia and Jiang Lingfan went up to the second floor together.
Yu Xia was just about to open the door, and suddenly remembered, "Don't you care about that Tan Lin'er?" ”
Jiang Lingfan smiled when he heard this, "How the two of you met and how you got involved, we have already found out, those strong men who are chasing you can also be used as witnesses to exonerate you, in fact, this case has nothing to do with the two of you." ”
"Not to mention, that girl is just an ordinary person, staying in this place where she is strictly guarded by the disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect, naturally you don't have to worry about what will happen to her."
Yu Xia thought about it too, but she brought people here, and as a result, she was involved in a murder case, and then ignored it, which was a little inappropriate.
However, she was busy investigating the case with Chen Dao and them in the past two days, and she didn't go to visit, so she was a little reluctant to go, so she mentioned the idea of going to Tan Lin'er with Jiang Lingfan.
Jiang Lingfan hadn't monitored Yu Xia well, so naturally there was nothing to disagree with when she said this, so he nodded very happily and went with Yu Xia.
Tan Lin'er lived with Cui Qiao, next door to the South African Creek House, Yu Xia knocked on the door and knocked for a long time, but no one responded.
However, the door of the house next to South Africa Creek opened, and Cui Qiao poked her head out of the house, and when she saw that it was Yu Xia, she immediately smiled and said:
"It turned out to be Miss Yu, there was no one in that house, you came to talk about the girl?"
Yu Xia nodded, "What about Lin'er?" Is it with you too? ”
Unexpectedly, Cui Qiao shook her head, "After all, I am a maid, and I always have to serve the master on weekdays, as for the girl, the adults only said that they would not let her go out of the cloud tower, and the rest of her can move freely, so I don't bother to ask." ”
Yu Xia didn't expect her to come to Tan Lin'er, but she pounced.
"It's time for dinner, will it be dinner?"
Jiang Lingfan said.
Yu Xia also nodded, so the two went downstairs again, and swept around the hall, but they still didn't see Tan Lin'er.
Yu Xia called a shopkeeper and asked him:
"Have you ever seen the girl I brought back that day?"
The shopkeeper knows everything about the people coming and going in this building, Tan Lin'er is a new face, and she is a rare ordinary person, of course she will be impressed, not to mention that the other party has been accused of being related to the murder for no reason.
So as soon as Yu Xia asked, he knew who she was talking about.
"That girl, she hasn't gone downstairs all day, isn't she with Miss Nan's maid?"
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't know, Yu Xia thanked him and let him continue to be busy, this Dengyunlou is not big, it is not small, there are many people, it is really not easy to find someone sincerely.
"Xu thinks it's fresh, where to play, such an adult, she won't fly with wings, don't worry, she will appear by herself after a while."
Jiang Lingfan's words were reasonable, Yu Xia thought so, so she temporarily gave up the idea of finding Tan Lin'er, and went upstairs with Jiang Lingfan.
As soon as Yu Xia turned the corner of the wooden staircase, he saw the door of the room at the end of the corridor on the second floor quietly opened, and a woman wearing a brown linen jacket came out of it.
Yu Xia was stunned, who is this Tan Lin'er?
Tan Lin'er was about to leave, and when she saw someone standing in front of her, she was also stunned, and when she looked up and saw that it was Yu Xia, her face suddenly showed a look of panic.
"Hey Yu Xia, why are you here?"
Tan Lin'er laughed dryly, her expression a little unnatural.
Yu Xiahu looked at her suspiciously for a long time before asking.
"I should ask you, why are you here?"
As she spoke, Yu Xia looked behind her again.
"How did you get out of that house, and you know the people in the house?"
"Hehe, this ......"
Tan Lin'er hesitated for a long time, but she didn't say why.
Her reaction made Yu Xia even more suspicious, and after looking at her for a moment, knowing that she was not telling the truth, Yu Xia simply bypassed her and prepared to knock on the door.
"I don't know if the owner of the house is there, don't you go into someone else's house and be a thief, right?"
Tan Lin'er saw that she was about to knock on the door, and immediately stepped forward and hugged her arm.
"Oops! Don't! I said I said it all! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but say, pulling Yu Xia to the side.
In Yu Xia's own house, the two little girls obviously had something to say, so Jiang Lingfan guarded the door very interestingly.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Tan Lin'er, as an ordinary person, entered this Dengyun Tower for the first time, and there was no reason to have anything to do with others, how could she go into someone else's house?
It's really suspicious.
Tan Lin'er smiled flatteringly, and scratched her head a little embarrassed.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to worship a teacher......"
"Apprenticeship?"
"Yes, apprentice."
Tan Lin'er pouted and glanced at her resentfully.
"Earlier, I wanted you to teach me to cultivate, but didn't you refuse? I wanted to enter the Xuanmen, but there was no way, and I finally entered this Dengyun Tower, where the Xuanshi masters gathered, of course I had to seize the opportunity. ”
As he spoke, his eyes widened again, and he said hurriedly:
"I said, I didn't betray you, it was you who refused to teach me first, I went to find someone else, isn't it too much? Don't stand in my way. ”
This rhetoric sounds reasonable.
Yu Xia looked at her for a long time, knowing that Tan Lin'er was just meeting her Pingshui, although she brought this Dengyun Tower in, but there was no other relationship between the two, Tan Lin'er wanted to be close to whom, who she wanted to worship as a teacher, and she had no position to interfere.
"In that case, you should be cautious, people's hearts are unpredictable, pay attention not to suffer."
Tan Lin'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her say this, and the smile on her face was a little more real, and she pulled Yu Xia's sleeve and sprinkled coquettishly.
"Hehe, Miss Yu, Mr. Yu, my grandfather has long said that I am a late bloomer, and I am destined to meet a nobleman, you must be that nobleman."
Yu Xia didn't eat her set, and pulled her hand down.
"You and I just met in Pingshui, and here, the bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road, and you don't have to wear a high hat for me. It's just that after all, you have known each other, and I also hope that you will be able to do well in the future, and don't be deceived by others and go down the wrong path. ”
"Tsk, so serious and serious, it's really a little gentleman."
Tan Lin'er smacked her lips and sighed, then sat down on the stool next to Yu Xia with a smile, and took the teapot and poured a cup of tea to drink it in her hand.
"Well, I know you mean well. After all, you have helped me twice before, although I talk about Lin'er Although she has no father and no mother, she still understands the basic human conscience and morality, I will remember your words, thank you for your concern. ”
"Fatherless and motherless?"
Yu Xia heard Tan Lin'er talk about her life experience for the first time, and asked.
"And do you live with your grandfather?"
"Well, yes."
Tan Lin'er drank tea and said casually, looking unconcerned.
"That's not my biological grandfather, it's just a kind person who adopted me. But he lived long enough last month before he died, and I came here alone to see the world, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to repay him in my life. ”
