Chapter 238: Ghost Kills
A year ago, two top-notch embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop tried their embroidery skills, and the two agreed to embroider the auspicious clothes worn by Emperor Wu Qianqiu together.
One of these two embroidery girls is called "Lily", and the other is Jin Ling, who was just killed last night.
The strength of the two was originally comparable, who would have thought that in the middle of the competition, the precious silk thread that Lily used to embroider auspicious clothes disappeared, and she could not find a new silk thread for a while, and finally had to change the embroidery method halfway, and finally lost the game due to a temporary change in embroidery method and insufficient preparation in advance.
After losing the game, Lily was indignant, and actually made a big fuss about the theft of the silk thread, clamoring to find out the person who stole the silk thread and severely punished it
Everyone in the embroidery workshop knows that Yu Yao and Jin Ling are a pair of good sisters with deep feelings, so Baiyi insisted that Yu Yao would steal her silk thread in order to let Jin Ling win the competition, forcing her to temporarily change her embroidery method
The evidence was ironclad, Yu Yao couldn't argue, and was finally accused of theft and was killed alive
And the day when Yu Yao was killed was exactly yesterday a year ago
In other words, the day of Jin Ling's death happened to be Yu Yao's death day
The palace maid who was in charge of investigating Yu Yao's affairs had also heard Ah Li's words before, so she trembled slightly in the end, "Yu Yao died because of the golden bell back then, and yesterday happened to be Yu Yao's death day, and Ah Li saw Yu Yao strangle the golden bell again."
When the palace maid said this, she only felt cold behind her back, and subconsciously hugged her arm, "Could it really be Yuyao's unjust soul who came to Jin Ling to ask for her life?"
Wei Qingqing didn't believe that ghosts could kill people, even though she had experienced such bizarre events as crossing over.
At this time, Ming Ye, who had never spoken, sneered, "You also believe in the ghost killing people in the opinion of this king, that little palace maid named Ah Li will talk nonsense when she is scared stupid." ”
The palace maid was ridiculed by Ming Yeyi, and her voice suddenly became much quieter, "Lord Wang, the slave maid feels that Ah Li doesn't seem to be lying." However, what the prince said is also reasonable, Ah Li may indeed be overly frightened and talk nonsense"
Ah Li's words spread quickly, except for a few people who were very awe-struck by the ghosts and gods, most people were inclined to say nonsense because Ah Li was scared stupid, and they didn't believe what Ah Li said at all.
This result was completely unexpected by Ming Ye, which made him a little proud, "This king has already said that no one will believe such nonsense." ”
Wei Qingqing shook her head calmly, and seriously stated her position, "I believe that the ghost in Ah Li's mouth must be related to the murderer, but because she was frightened and in a trance, she couldn't express what she saw clearly, but this doesn't mean that she is talking nonsense."
At the same time, after a palace beauty in the deep palace learned what Ah Li said, she thoughtfully muttered to herself, "Is it a coincidence?"
At night, Wei Qingqing pulled Ming Ye to the scene of the crime again.
She stood under the osmanthus tree where Jin Ling's body was found, holding her chin and pondering, "I always feel that the murderer has a deep meaning in hanging Jin Ling on this tree, otherwise it would not be easier for her to hang the body on the beam in the pavilion."
There is an octagonal pavilion not far from the bamboo forest, and the height of the beam of the octagonal pavilion is much lower than that of the osmanthus tree, and it is easier to throw the hanging rope up and then pull it down to form a rope sleeve.
But the murderer abandoned the octagonal pavilion and struggled to hang the corpse of the golden bell on the osmanthus tree
Ming Ye is not good at reasoning and solving cases, but he will say something seemingly irrelevant to stimulate Wei Qingqing's thoughts, "There are also strings of bells there, golden bells, bells, will there be some kind of connection between the two?"
Wei Qingqing followed Ming Ye's gaze and found a string of golden bells hanging in the bamboo forest not far away, making a crisp tinkling sound under the light breeze of the night breeze.
Osmanthus trees, copper bells
Wei Qingqing pondered these two things repeatedly, but she never had a clue.
She could only put these two things aside for the time being, and began to deduce the reason why Jin Ling appeared in the small bamboo forest late at night, "This is some distance from the embroidery workshop, and Jin Ling has no reason to come here alone late at night unless someone forces her here."
Wei Qingqing slapped his hands and said, "That's right, the murderer must have killed Jin Ling in this specific place, so he thought of a way to force Jin Ling here."
Ming Ye deduced another possibility from her train of thought, "If Jin Ling's death is really related to the so-called ghosts, it is very likely that someone pretended to be a ghost to chase Jin Ling all the way and finally forced her here." ”
"That's good, I actually went to a place with me" Wei Qingqing praised Ming Ye without hesitation, and then walked to the direction where the embroidery workshop was located, pretending to be a panicked and panicked Jin Ling, and ran quickly in the direction of the small bamboo forest
Wei Qingqing likes to simulate the process of the deceased's murder, figure out the body language and inner activities of the deceased when he encounters the murderer, and open his mind through this kind of empathy, and then find clues that cannot be found from his own perspective
This time she regarded herself as a golden bell, pretending that there was a pale-faced evil ghost chasing her behind her, her steps should be in a hurry, she couldn't even look at the road carefully, she could only run towards the small bamboo forest in a panic
She had to run faster, faster, because what was chasing her behind her was terrible
There was an inconspicuous stone next to the bushes, and she was likely to trip and fall into the bushes.
She shouldn't have bothered about the pain after she fell, she just scrambled to her feet, stumbling again and running as hard as she could
Wei Qingqing imagined that she had also fallen, deliberately slowed down her running pace, and stumbled towards the osmanthus tree, and suddenly, someone attacked her from behind, strangled her neck with a rope-shaped thing, and pulled her back hard
Wei Qingqing was shocked, her body instinctively leaned back, her hands tightly grasped the thing that strangled her neck, she desperately wanted to pull away the thing that strangled her neck, but her strength was not as great as the person behind her, and finally simply stopped pulling the thing that strangled her, and pulled her back with both hands, wanting to pull the murderer's hand over and bite it
It's a pity that she didn't succeed after a lot of effort, but because of the excessive exertion of strength, her breathing gradually began to become difficult
The backward force was so strong that she was gradually forced to sit on the ground.
Her legs kicked forward desperately, so strong that she kicked her shoes out Ming Ye where did he die
She was attacked by someone, why didn't he save her
Wei Qingqing's thought came to her heart, and the next moment the force that strangled her neck suddenly disappeared, a wide palm gently stroked her neck, and the person behind her also leaned over to her ear, "This king plays the murderer to hunt you down, but there are any clues for you to discover?"
