Chapter 32: The Murderer Can't Be Her
"That's it, the third sister is too anxious."
The people who came in were not only the third lady Zhao Qiaoyun, but also the fourth lady Zhao Qiaoman.
Zhao Qiaoman is the daughter of Aunt Mu, and Aunt Qian is different from Aunt Qian, who is as her name suggests, she is a wood-like aunt. Although he entered the house early, he was not a demon, and he was not competitive, and he lived with another childless Aunt Wang in the west of the garden in the "Appreciation Courtyard".
I don't know if it's the opposite, Zhao Qiaoyun, born to the dexterous Aunt Qian, is a stupid-looking, but the fourth lady Zhao Qiaoman, born to Aunt Mu, is a clever one, with the unique liveliness of girls of this age, chirping, like a dexterous thrush.
They broke in, and when they saw Yan Ran, their faces were red at first, and then they saw Zhao Liusi behind Yan Ran, but their faces were white. However, Zhao Qiaoman is good at being a person, but she quickly turned into a smiling face, and said sweetly to Zhao Liusi is blessing, "Second sister is here." I don't know if you're inside, if my third sister and I bothered you to talk to your mother. ”
Zhao Qiaoyun didn't salute, she stopped her steps when she saw Zhao Liusi, and stood there silently with her mouth pursed, her expression quite indignant.
Zhao Liusi looked at the two uninvited guests and didn't speak, she was not familiar with them, and the second lady and the two younger sisters were even more unpretentious, so there was no need for enthusiasm at this time.
It's just that the old pestle is not a way here, and Zhao Liusi is not sure what to do now, so he subconsciously looks towards Yan Ran.
Yan Ran's response to the emergency was obviously grandmaster-level, he greeted the two politely and smiled, and said gracefully, "We're leaving, don't bother." ”
After saying that, he walked out the door as if nothing had happened, as planned. Seeing this, Zhao Lusi also maintained the usual style of the second lady, and walked out with a blind eye to the two.
Zhao Qiaoyun and Zhao Qiaoman stood at the door, looking at the backs of the two leaving, one with anger on their faces and the other thoughtful.
Zhou's mother was originally standing at the door to block people, but now that people are not blocked, except for the mistakes, she was a little panicked for a while, and looked at Zheng for help. Zheng didn't expect Zhao Qiaoyun to break in at this time, Yan Ran's calmness gave her great encouragement in her heart, and immediately instructed Zhou's mother, "Yan Gongzi wants to go to see Furong and them, you accompany them." ”
"Yes." Mother Zhou got the order, quickly dropped the hot potato, and ran away without delay.
**
Zhao Liusi left with Yan Ran, she didn't get along with Zhou's mother, and she had slapped Zhou's mother before, she originally thought that it would be very embarrassing along the way, but soon she realized that by Yan Ran's side, she didn't have to open her mouth at all, he would talk to Zhou's mother, talk and laugh, and the atmosphere was very good.
Finally, after finishing the family routine and coaxing the old mother to smile, Yan Ran said as if unintentionally, "The third lady's face didn't look very good just now, is it because of Aunt Qian's matter?" ”
"Well, if that's the case, no one needs to bother." Yan Ran's affinity was too high, and Zhou's mother was worried about this matter again, so she told the whole story, "This child is still a solid heart, and he always pesters the eldest lady to ask if she can be recorded in the eldest lady's name." The eldest lady rejected her several times before, saying that her biological mother was still there, and it was inconvenient to put her under her own name. Now that Aunt Qian has an accident, she comes to beg again, how do you say this is called Mrs. Answer? If she doesn't agree, she is afraid of hurting her, and if she agrees, Aunt Qian's bones are still cold, which will inevitably cool people's hearts. So it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, it can't be, it can only be delayed.
"Oh." Yan Ran's face was inconvenient, and she smiled as if chatting, "You three young ladies are really interesting. ”
Mother Zhou shook her head and refused to say more, Zhao Liu thought of Zhao Qiaoman who was following Zhao Qiaoyun, and when she thought of the relationship between the two, she frowned at the moment, "Among them, Qiaoman is indispensable." ”
Zhou's mother panicked and wanted to stop Zhao Liusi, giving her several looks, but where is Zhao Liusi who looks at people's eyes, seeing Yan Ran's confused expression, she explained, "Aunt Mu is not energetic, and she said that she couldn't control the child, so she sent the fourth sister to the eldest lady and recorded it in the name of the eldest lady since she was a child." The two of them have been incompatible since childhood, and it is impossible for Qiaoyun to suddenly have such an unreliable thought, it must have been stimulated by something. ”
And the person who is most likely to stimulate her is Zhao Qiaoman.
Of course, the second lady may also be on the list, which goes without saying.
Mother Zhou was very dissatisfied with Zhao Liusi saying this, so she gouged out Zhao Liusi's eyes fiercely, and made up for it in her words, "The children are sisters again, it is inevitable to fight a few words, and the fourth lady is not that kind of person." ”
"Yes." Yan Ran responded with kindness, and then chatted with Zhou's mother and stopped talking about it.
**
The three of them went to see Fleur and the others, and there was no fresh news. The level of the eldest lady's housekeeper is indeed worthy of Mother Park's contempt, because the suspects below are not very well guarded, three days have passed, Yan Ran has not found anything yet, and it is not a matter of keeping people locked up, so she let out all the people she felt were not responsible.
This is not a big problem, but she is too selfish, in fact, she took the opportunity to arrest people and caught a large number of Aunt Qian's henchmen, and took the opportunity to replace her own people. Aunt Qian has used more than ten years of manpower, and she was either sold by her, or sent to another village in the countryside, or she was beaten to death, so that Zhao Liu couldn't ask if she wanted to understand the situation.
"This eyelid is too shallow!" When the two returned to Yanran's Qiushuangzhai, Zhao Liusi finally couldn't hide his anger, and walked around the house angrily, "I know that she doesn't like Aunt Qian, and she is not happy to be bullied for so many years, but can you be more generous and solve those people when the case is clear?" She did this, it almost made me suspect that she was the murderer, destroying the evidence. ”
To be honest, Zhao Liusi thought about this possibility when he was arrested by the eldest lady for the first time and was troubled by the eldest lady. According to what is often shown on TV, according to who benefits the most after the death of the victim is the murderer, the eldest lady is the most suspected of murder. Because although the eldest lady took back the housekeeping rights, this son still sat unsteadily. Aunt Qian has been in this house for more than ten years, and she has an eldest son, and there is a group of diehards at the bottom, she can sit in Luoyun Xuan and instruct people to turn the eldest lady around.
In fact, she was friendly with Miss Er before, just because Miss Er had a special status at home, which was equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death, she often used Miss Er to block the eldest lady, and the angry eldest lady smashed a lot of tea cups at home.
Now that Aunt Qian is dead, the eldest lady can't wait to hit Aunt Qian's subordinates, and it can be seen that she can't wait to "be the master of the house". Zhao Liu was angry at her shallowness, but he also dispelled his suspicions about her from the other side. After all, if the eldest lady really killed Aunt Qian, she would definitely have to pretend to put aside the relationship at this time, and she would not be so blatant.
"It's unlikely to be her." Yan Ran shook her head, thought for a while and said, "Rather than suspicious of her, there is someone who is more suspicious. ”
"Who?" Zhao Liusi was still angry.
"Zhao Qiaoyun." Yan Ran said unhurriedly, her voice was sure, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
"Why?" Zhao Liusi was taken aback, and retorted a little, "But she is Aunt Qian's own daughter." ”
"I met Zhao Qiaoyun in Luoyunxuan before, on the night Aunt Qian died," Yan Ran opened his mouth to talk about the events of that night, he vaguely described some details, but he described Zhao Qiaoyun's dislike for Aunt Qian that day, and then told Zhao Liusi, "At that time, Aunt Qian's death should not have been announced, so I don't like my biological mother, why did she, who has always drawn a line with her biological mother, appear in that place?" ”
"Do you think she killed someone during the day, and then took advantage of the dead of night to deal with the traces?" Zhao Liusi was embarrassed to say that he was also at the scene that day, but it was in the form of a cat, and asked Yan Ran vaguely.
"Hmm." Yan Ran nodded.
"But why didn't you say it before?" Zhao Liu asked puzzled.
"I didn't say it before, I just couldn't figure it out. Like you said, the murderer must have killed Aunt Qian to get some benefits, Zhao Qiaoyun is Aunt Qian's own daughter, assuming she is the murderer, what good is it for her to kill Aunt Qian? Yan Ran thought about it and muttered to herself.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Liusi nodded again and again, she instinctively hated this assumption, "Aunt Qian is a strong figure at home, and she has money on hand, Zhao Qiaoyun can still be wiped out when she is there, if she dies, Zhao Qiaoyun will be a motherless child." ”。
"But after listening to Zhou's mother's words today, I feel that I seem to have found that answer." Yan Ran said slowly, but there was no joy on his face.
"What answer?" Zhao Liusi's heart tightened.
"The so-called benefits can be both overtly and secretly. Money is not the only thing that can move people's hearts, some people in this world love money, but some people love fame. Yan Ran said lightly.
"Name?" Zhao Liu was puzzled, "She is a boudoir woman, what name can she fight for?" ”
"The name of the concubine." Yan Ran looked at Zhao Liusi and smiled, "You are a concubine, so naturally you don't know how prejudiced the concubine in the world is." The so-called injustice of Confucianism is not good, and the third lady seems to be a dead reader, and her brain is confused by those things. I have talked to her a few times, and I heard that she was very disgusted with her mother in her words, and according to Zhou's mother today, she had long hoped that she could succeed to the name of the eldest lady and become the daughter of the eldest lady, not the daughter of Aunt Qian. But the eldest lady is fighting with Aunt Qian, how could she ask for her, so she must have said something similar to your mother is still alive, and I can't accept you. Maybe at that moment, she had the idea of "it would be nice if Aunt Qian died". ”
"Impossible!" Zhao Liusi was frightened by this vicious speculation and shouted loudly.
