Chapter 239: Exploring the Bamboo Forest at Night

The familiar low voice made Wei Qingqing's body loosen, and she understood what was going on - it turned out to be Ming Ye!

He deliberately pretended to be a murderer without greeting her in advance, and helped her solve the case in this way without mercy!

If it was a woman next to him, he would probably scold Ming Ye after he came to his senses - how could anyone say hello like him without saying a word, and he would unceremoniously strangle people's necks as soon as he came up, more like a murderer than a murderer!

But Wei Qingqing is not the woman next to her, she appreciates this unexpected way very much, and even thinks that Ming Ye has done a good job - it is because he didn't greet her in advance, and her previous reactions were all real reactions from instinct!

She even thought she was going to die, so she used all the ways she could resist it!

Presumably, when Jin Ling was strangled, she also resisted like her, even if there was a deviation, it would not deviate too much, after all, no matter who suddenly encountered a danger to his life, he would only react by instinct to save himself!

Therefore, Wei Qingqing did not blame Ming Ye, but leaned on his arms to think about the previous situation carefully, and quickly patted Ming Ye's cheek, "Go, pick up the shoes that I kicked off when I struggled before, and by the way, take a closer look at any clues near the place where I dropped my shoes!" ”

Wei Qingqing's words were taken for granted, and Ming Ye actually did it as a matter of course, and quickly took Wei Qingqing's shoes back and threw a string of bracelets on Wei Qingqing.

While putting back the shoes for Wei Qingqing, he said in a light tone: "In addition to the shoes, I also picked up a bracelet." ”

Wei Qingqing held the bracelet in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully, and found that it was a coral bead bracelet with an old style.

At this time, Ming Ye suddenly raised his left hand in front of Wei Qingqing's eyes and shook it, "Before, you pulled this king's hand so hard that you almost broke this king's handkeeping." ”

Hearing this, Wei Qingqing subconsciously glanced at Ming Ye's bracelet, and saw that although the bracelet on his wrist had not been torn off, the string of beads had been torn loose.

Suddenly, Wei Qingqing had a flash of inspiration and understood why Ming Ye deliberately asked her to look at the bracelet!

She played the deceased Jin Ling and Ming Ye played the murderer, she inadvertently pulled the bracelet on Ming Ye's hand when she struggled before, so is it possible that Jin Ling also pulled something like a bracelet on the murderer's hand?

She kicked her shoes far away as she struggled, would Jin Ling do the same?

If Jin Ling really kicked her shoes out, and the murderer wanted to disguise her as a suicide by throwing herself into the shoes, then naturally he would pick up the shoes and put them on Jin Ling...... After such a layer of inference, the coral bead bracelet that Ming Ye picked up earlier was very likely to have been inadvertently dropped by the murderer when he was picking up shoes!

In other words, the owner of this coral bracelet is likely to be the murderer!

Just as Wei Qingqing quickly turned his head to deduce the case, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the small bamboo forest not far away, like the corner of the clothes inadvertently brushing the bamboo leaves, and like the skirt rubbing against the dead branches on the ground, it sounded like someone was slowly walking towards them!

Wei Qingqing and Ming Ye did not light the lights in order to truly restore the situation on the night of the crime, and only acted by the faint moonlight, so they would not be easily discovered.

They immediately glanced at each other at the sound, and then quickly hid behind the bushes, and looked motionless, quietly into the depths of the bamboo forest by the moonlight, waiting for the person who was about to appear......

As the sound of rustling gradually approached, a slender figure broke into the sight of Wei Qingqing and the others.

Wei Qingqing looked from afar, and vaguely saw by the moonlight that it was a woman in palace clothes.

The woman in the palace costume carried a small and delicate octagonal glass lamp, and walked around the small bamboo forest alone, as if she was looking for something.

Wei Qingqing leaned into Ming Ye's ear and whispered, "Could it be that she is looking for that bracelet of coral beads?" ”

Wei Qingqing's breath went in and out as he spoke, gently spraying on Ming Ye's ears, brushing his ears like a gentle feather, itchy and soft, making him feel uneasy for a while.

"She seems to be looking for something, but her head is always slightly up, as if she is not looking for something." Ming Ye replied absentmindedly, and quietly pasted it on Wei Qingqing's body.

Wei Qingqing didn't notice Ming Ye's small movements, but followed Ming Ye's words and focused on observing the line of sight of the woman in the palace costume, and sure enough, she found that her gaze was always facing up, obviously the focus of her search was not on the ground!

Her actions made Wei Qingqing a little puzzled - if the woman in the palace costume came to look for something, then she should lower her head and look around, how could she look up?

But in any case, just because the woman in the palace costume appeared alone near the scene of the crime late at night, she couldn't help but make people suspicious!

The bushes where Wei Qingqing was hiding were some distance away from the small bamboo forest, so she couldn't clearly see the palace woman's every move, so she pulled Ming Ye and quietly dived into the small bamboo forest, "Let's take a closer look!" ”

Ming Ye had his own way of hiding his figure, and when he saw that Wei Qingqing wanted to observe the palace woman up close, he quickly took her to the osmanthus tree silently, and looked at the palace woman in the small bamboo forest condescendingly.

Wei Qingqing got closer and saw more clearly, and then she realized that the reason why the woman in the palace costume raised her head slightly and looked upwards was to check the bamboo one by one, as if she was looking for something from the bamboo.

The woman in the palace costume finally stood in front of a slender and straight green bamboo, looked at it carefully for a while, and then whispered softly: "Sure enough, it's her, she really didn't die." ”

The silence of the night could hear the falling needles, so that Wei Qingqing could clearly hear the whispers of the woman in the palace costume.

She couldn't help but wonder - who is she? Who didn't die?

Wei Qingqing's intuition told her that the woman in the palace costume in the bamboo forest was not the murderer of Jin Ling, but an insider.

She poked Ming Ye's arm and said, "We'll meet her when we go down!" ”

Ming Ye quickly hugged Wei Qingqing and fell from the sky and landed in front of the woman in palace costume, without thinking about whether they would frighten people when they appeared in such a way.

"It's you, Wei Qingqing." The woman in the palace costume obviously knew Wei Qingqing, and as soon as Wei Qingqing appeared, she spoke.

"Are you ......" Wei Qingqing searched in his mind for a moment before matching the palace woman in front of him with her name, "If I remember correctly, you should be Concubine Lan of Yanxi Palace." ”

Concubine Lan treats people very coldly on weekdays, and she never participates in the competition for favor, and never even takes the initiative to show her face in front of Emperor Wu, so she can be said to be a Buddha-nature concubine.

Therefore, meeting Concubine Lan at the place of the crime late at night was somewhat unexpected by Wei Qingqing - she didn't expect that Concubine Lan, who had always been indisputable with the world, would be related to the death of Jin Ling!
