On the first day of the official investigation, there were only these gains, and in the evening, Su Mu took a pen and paper to clear his mind as usual, and Lin Jian sat aside to help study the ink, and the atmosphere was the best time in recent days.

On the paper, the name of Xiangwu is placed in the center, in addition to the confetti and herbs, next to it is the name of Xiangling. The four words were not far away, Lin Jian stared at it for a while, and then gently pushed Su Mu's left hand, "I forgot about it in the afternoon, and now I think that there is another possibility." Maybe this medicine was put in Xiangwu. ”

However, halfway through the sentence, Lin Jian immediately denied it, "No, according to Xiangwu's temperament, she won't do this behind her back, and besides, she wishes that Xiangling could have a good result, how could she do such a stupid thing." And she also knows that Xiang Ling will not listen to it from the bottom of her heart. ”

"That'...... Is it that Xiang Ling was afraid that the pregnancy would be publicized, so he killed the killer?"

"No, no, she made such a big fuss in the West Courtyard that day, and everyone present knew about it, and now I'm afraid the whole family is in an uproar, because it's really stupid to kill people if they have already leaked out."

Lin Jian finished chattering, and he didn't know that he was actually a little confused.

"It's not Xiang Ling, judging from the situation at the scene, Xiang Wu was scratched on the tongue, and then strangled by the neck, although the knife may be thrown out, but there is not much movement in the whole killing process. This is not something that a hand-born girl can do. Just like the case of the fire room, as long as it happens, it will always leave traces at the scene. ”

Su Mu reminded him, and put down his pen to catch Lin Jian's hand, "You're too tired, let's sleep for a while, and when it's dawn, we'll ask all the relevant people." ”

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

Lin Jian lay on the bed, and felt a mess in his head.

At first, he was afraid that Su Mu would forcibly close his eyes and pretend to be asleep, but after nesting for a while, he naturally couldn't help it.

Su Mu lay on the side, feeling the movement beside him clearly, he waited for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the person into his arms.

"If you can't sleep, I'll read poetry to you."

"yes, okay." Lin Jian arched, changed to a comfortable posture and didn't move.

So Su Mu was ready to be tested by his master when he was a child, and slowed down his tone, but as soon as he memorized "樮木", he found that the person in his arms was already asleep.

The sky is about to come down.

Su Lian and Xiangling walked in, and at a glance they saw a bright candlelight, and next to the bookcase was a bunch of ingots, illuminated by the candlelight, which looked golden.

"I'm sorry, I'll clean it up right away. I stacked these all day during the day, and I lost some of the time. Lin Jian said and stood up, but he didn't mean to clean up. Because of getting up, the bag fell crookedly, and a few ingots spilled out.

Xiangling squatted down to pick it up, Lin Jian hurriedly waved his hand, "You are pregnant, it is better to stay away from these." Although you have known each other before, after all, it is not impossible for Xiangwu to be a little resentful after the new funeral. ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Xiang Ling's face turned white, she turned her head to look at Su Lian, and was glared at fiercely by the other party. Su Lian has a round face and is a little cute, and there is candlelight right now, and the look on it seems to be a little fierce. After glaring at the person, he raised his chin towards Su Mu again, "Isn't it to be tried?" Let's get started. ”

"I don't know how my father and mother can agree to such a ridiculous thing as setting up a private house at home."

"Okay, let's get started, please come over here."

Su Muben stood on Lin Jian's side, he made a gesture to invite people, and his expression was as usual, but Su Lian's arrogant arrogance immediately went down, and his eyes were a little evasive, "Brother." ”

Su Mu answered, without any extra words. Su Lian walked over hard, Xiangling's movements slowed down, and he pulled him.

The entrance is a screen, and it is still the one embroidered with a full of rosé. Su Lian still remembers that a few days before the wedding, when her mother came to decorate the new house, she said that it was a wedding celebration.

However, at this moment, Su Lian had no intention of appreciating it at all. As soon as he stood on the side, he noticed that there were mats on both sides of the screen, and other than that, there was nothing else, which had been pulled out in advance.

"It's at home, and the conditions are limited, but we just have a brief chat, and it should be enough." Su Mu walked over, his voice was not much different from usual, and at the end he signaled again, go and sit down.

Lin Jianben was in the bookcase, and now he brought the lamp over, and he naturally saw the battle just now. He motioned to the Xiangling beside him, and the two sat on both sides as he said.

On each side of the screen, there is a shadow, which is almost overlapping at the moment.

Lin Jian immediately received Su Mu's signal, and he put the lamp aside, knowing that the inquiry was about to begin.

At this moment, he found himself nervous as well. I don't know if it's for these two people, or for himself.

The trick of setting up a screen is too ruthless, and the people on both sides can't see each other, but they can hear each other's voices. I am afraid that I will say something wrong and that the other person will say something wrong. Under the pressure of the double torment, there must not be too many people who can hold on for a long time, especially Su Lian and Xiangling, who are just fledglings.

Lin Jianzheng was thinking wildly, and when there was a voice in his ears, he realized that the inquiry had begun. Su Mu asked what he didn't hear, so he stood up straighter and straighter, intent on concentrating.

Towards him happened to be Xiang Ling, Lin Jian looked over and found that the other party had twisted his fingers.

"On the nineteenth day, the slave and maid did go back with Xiangwu, and the slave and maid were very weak at that time, and they all relied on Xiangwu to take care of them. She looked happy, but worried, and asked the slave what she had planned for the child. I really didn't know that I had answered her the same way at the time. Xiangwu didn't say anything, and brought me medicine and dates back. ”

It was the first time for Xiang Lingxu to see such a formation, and his voice immediately trembled, "The slave rested for a while, then returned to the West Courtyard, and did not come out for the rest of the night." The next day, someone came to look for her, and then I knew that something had happened to Xiangwu. ”

"What do you say about the medicine for slippery tires?" Su Mu lit the fire at the right time, and sure enough, Xiangwu was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, Su Lian on the opposite side raised his voice, "You......"

Lin Jian was shocked by the anger in this, but his voice was immediately cut off, thinking that Su Lian also realized that this was not the Western Courtyard that let him get angry, and after a long while, he continued, "The going or staying of this child is not something you can consider." ”

Xiang Ling looked more cautious, shrank and didn't move, and Su Mu's next question came over, "Looking at Ah Lian's reaction, he should not have known about the medicine in advance." So, on the eighteenth day, how did the wound on your face come about?"

"It was the slave who was so bold that when she learned that she was pregnant, she wanted to blackmail the second son to give me a name, but he was angry, so he beat me."

After saying this, Xiang Ling slowly raised her head, Lin Jian and her eyes met, and she was ready to shiver, but she also forced herself to calm down, "Then, it should be that the birth of a child is more beneficial to you." ”

"Yes." Xiangling continued to twist his fingers, and Su Mu also answered, "I returned to the mansion on the eighteenth day and learned about you, and the next day Xiangwu had an accident. And you said that you didn't go back all night, so when was the medicine hidden? You went to the scene again after the murder? Have you ever seen what it looks like for Xiangwu to fall? I remember that I was there when Xiangwu helped you, and the clothes on your body were not thick at that time, so it was absolutely impossible to bring so many medicines with you. ”

Su Mu's question became more and more sharp, and the candle flame added a little more urgency.

Xiangwu opened her mouth, only to feel that the voice was stuck in her throat, and her shoulders trembled a little, "The slave didn't go back, not once." The medicine was put back before. The slave suspected that she was pregnant, so she went to the infirmary, and the medicine was also caught at that time. ”

"Then since you think that you can be expensive for your mother and child, wouldn't it be a contradiction to buy this medicine again." Lin Jian couldn't help but ask, and looked at Xiang Ling again. And a voice came from the other side, "You, you have so many flowery thoughts." ”

Oh, this time I said a little more, Lin Jian was also happy to watch the play, and looked forward to Su Mu stepping up to add another fire, so as to fish in troubled waters.

"Shut up." Su Mu took a deep breath, so he didn't rush forward to hit someone, he changed back to the previous question.

"On the nineteenth day, I was in the West Courtyard. This kind of thing is grounded, everyone in the house knows about it. As for why, the elder brother should know better in his heart. ”

After many days, the old things were brought up again, and it was the first time that Su Mu faced this kind of resentment. Lin Jian was beside him, and he could clearly see his face tense, not knowing what he was thinking, but he immediately relaxed.

However, before Su Mu could ask anything, Su Lian shouted, "Brother, do you like Sister Lin Tian?"

"We're talking about the case, and this issue has nothing to do with the case." Su Mu's heart jumped, and Lin Jian immediately walked towards this side, he went to grab someone's hand, and felt a warm feeling in his palm, and there was some fine sweat.

Why did Su Lian ask? For a moment, both of them were a little unsure.

"Sometimes you really disgust me." The words were provoked by Su Lian first, but this sentence seems to have been revealed.

Su Mu continued the question just now, and Lin Jian leaned on his shoulder, but his heart was in turmoil.

"I was in the West Courtyard all night, and I didn't come out until half an hour ago, if you don't believe me, you can go directly to the family in charge of guarding outside."

After this inquiry, I don't know whose heart is more confused.

Lin Jian looked at the people on both sides and let himself slowly calm down. Judging from the situation just now, both of them have alibis. There is no need to cover up this kind of thing that can be confirmed by a little question, otherwise wouldn't it be a deliberate attempt to discredit yourself?

The key is that Su Lian did not have a motive to kill Xiangwu. The child's business, whether he wants it or not, is actually just a sentence in his mouth.

But a gentle and elegant person in Su Ri can blurt out such indecency, and even hit a girl in the face, obviously angry to the extreme, but such a big contrast seems to be covering up something.

Lin Jian had such a question, so he asked it right away, but he avoided the embarrassment of Fang Cai and didn't dare to look at him.

"My sister-in-law is too grassy and soldiery, I saved Xiangling, but she relied on me. What if this happens to you?"

Su Lian's loss of control seems to be only a matter of moments. Lin Jian sighed in his heart, he knew very well that these words had overlapped with what Mrs. Su had explained to him at that time, but was it really a hero who saved the beauty and fell into such a situation that made Su Lian angry? Or is there something else?

Moreover, he is now the identity of a sister, but the other party asks like this, what does it mean?

Lin Jian had a fear of being seen through, he moved his fingers, and Su Mu quickly shook it back, and he naturally heard the sound of this. I don't know if Su Lian was by mistake against them, or if he really knew something.

However, returning to the case itself, Xiangling's suspicions are more serious.

"Instigating the girl to come here and asking him to mention that Xiangwu is indeed a slave and maid, but this does not prove that the slave and maid have a grudge against her. It is even more impossible to kill people because of this. ”

Xiang Ling was asked later, but only replied like this.

"Then you also stayed with Xiangwu for a while that night, so you can see what paper she has in hand?" Su Mu was also in a mess now, and saying this was just a regular inquiry.

However, Xiang Ling's eyes widened, and his expression was suddenly different from before.

Su Mu and Lin Jian glanced at each other and gave an eviction order.
