Chapter 261: Knowing People and Faces but Not Knowing Hearts (3)
A post station on the outskirts of the capital
Pei Xiuxiu opened her mouth and said: "If my guess is correct, Cai Lian broke in when you secretly poisoned my food in the back kitchen, I guess Cai Lian must not have found out about your poisoning, otherwise you would have been exposed a long time ago and could still hide until now?" But because you are a thief, you decided to do it to the lotus picking just in case. You thought of a murder plan in advance, first deliberately took advantage of the darkness to lure Fushun into the rockery, and then touched the candle in his hand before he could see your face clearly, so that he couldn't see your appearance clearly. After that, you hugged Fushun from behind and told him that you were picking lotus, that you liked him, and that you were willing to make a promise to him, in order to let Fushun take the bait to go to the lotus picking. ”
The corners of Zhou Ling'er's mouth were slightly hooked, and she sneered and did not refute.
Pei Xiuxiu continued: "The next day, it happened that Fushun was indecent in the backyard. There is a detail that is overlooked, that is, Fushun drank the wine you gave him that morning, I guess there must have been a little aphrodisiac ingredient added to the wine, otherwise with Fushun's guts, he would not be bold enough to do such a dirty thing as a girl under the blue sky and white sun. ”
Zhou Ling'er stared at her and asked, "How can you even know this?"
Pei Xiuxiu said: "It's my father-in-law who doesn't believe that Fushun will do this kind of thing, he secretly investigated, and later found out that there was a problem with the wine that Fushun drank that morning, thinking about it, Fushun's face was indeed a little abnormal that day. After my master Yuehua's inspection, it was indeed true, and the wine that Fushun drank had a small amount of aphrodisiac ingredients in it. Fushun is a young man with strong blood, after drinking that kind of wine, and then encountering the real Cailian who pretended to be Cailian to confess to him the night before, of course he will lose control and do ridiculous things. ”
"That's right, I thought I was doing it seamlessly, but I didn't expect to be seen through by you." Zhou Linger said unwillingly.
"It's still the same sentence, if you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do!" Pei Xiuxiu continued: "After Fushun was imprisoned in the firewood room, you started your second step plan to design and kill Cailian, after you killed Cailian, you faked the scene as Cailian hanged herself, you knew that the reason for suicide was not enough to convince the public, so later you secretly let Fushun go, and the murder charge was naturally put on Fushun." Anyway, he has absconded in fear of sin, and no matter how much others suspect him, they will not suspect you. ”
Pei Xiuxiu paused and asked, "Cailian has always disliked you, so it stands to reason that she will be wary of you, how did you lure her into the backyard in the middle of the night and kill her?" We have already found out the real cause of Cailian's death, which was poisoning. I want to ask you, how did you do it? ”
Zhou Ling'er said expressionlessly: "That night, I first added some ecstasy to the cold medicine that Wu'er drank, so that she slept like a dead pig. Then I counted the time to enter Cailian and Wu'er's room, I told her that there was something about the young lady to talk to her, and on the pretext of not disturbing Wu'er's rest so that she could recuperate, I tricked her into the back garden where no one was around. When I saw that the time was ripe, I took out the poison needle I had prepared in advance and pricked her, and she really convulsed all over her body and died without shouting a word. Cai Lian died
I then put her body on the white silk I had prepared in advance, pretended that she had hanged herself, and left. ”
Zeng Qingfeng asked suspiciously: "There are usually people in the backyard who patrol several times at night, is it ...... that night?"
"Yes, the two people on duty that night were both drunk and lazy and were stunned by me by the way, and Brother Qingfeng and Xiuxiu, you were going to attend the wedding ceremony of Linghu Gongzi and Miss Liu Xiangxiang that night, so everything I did went smoothly."
"What about Wu'er? Why did you kill Wu'er? Pei Xiuxiu asked angrily.
The corners of Zhou Ling'er's mouth cracked, and she snorted coldly and said: "Wu'er's girl, I have long looked at her unpleasantly, relying on her being the person in your room, she usually sneered at me, and several times I heard her speak ill of me in private." However, it's all trivial, and the reason why I wanted to kill her was because I overheard her conversation with Momo. She suspected that I had something to do with Cailian's death, because she said that she had heard Cailian talk about how she had been running into me in the kitchen lately, and that I was secretly doing something bad, and who made her talk? ”
Pei Xiuxiu frowned and asked, "Tell me, how did you push Wu'er down the well?"
Zhou Ling'er said quietly: "It's very simple, I know that Wu'er, like most maids, gets up early, and she and Cailian take turns watering the flowers in the back garden because they like flowers." When I saw her that morning, I told her that I had some clues to tell her about lotus picking, and I deliberately led her to the mouth of a well, and then pricked her with a poisonous needle while she was unprepared, and the poisonous needle was stained with red poisonous snake venom, and the poisoned person was paralyzed on the spot, and she could not say half a word, so I easily pushed her into the well. ”
Zeng Qingfeng continued: "Then you took a large sum of money to buy off the autopsy Zhou Yan, right? Zhou Yanzuo deliberately misstated the time of death, saying that Wu'er's death time was 2 o'clock the night before yesterday, but in fact, Wu'er's real death time was 5 o'clock in the morning of the murder. Zhou Yanzuo also said by the way that the cause of Wu'er's death was that he accidentally stepped on the slippery moss by the well and fell into the well and drowned. ”
Zhou Ling'er asked in surprise, "Is this ...... How would you know? ”
Zeng Qingfeng said: "That Zhou Chengzuo has been arrested by me on the way back to his hometown, and he has already explained the matter between you, otherwise how could we come to arrest you?"
"Damn it!" Zhou Ling'er scolded viciously: "I have long known that only the mouth of the dead is the tightest."
Zeng Qingfeng looked at the unrecognizable sister in front of him with a heartache, and no words could describe his mood at the moment.
Pei Xiuxiu sighed regretfully: "Ling'er, if my mother is still alive, she will definitely be frightened by your current appearance, you look at your current appearance, it's terrifying!"
Zhou Ling'er laughed without warning, and didn't stop until tears came out of her eyes and said: "Everyone in this world is blind, including my godmother, obviously I am more well-behaved than you, and I am more filial to her than my own mother, but she can't see it?" She is the same as Brother Qingfeng, and she only has Xiuxiu in her eyes......"
"Jealousy is terrible
Something can ruin a person's normal mind. Yuehua shook her head and commented.
Zhou Ling'er sneered disapprenously, turned her head to look at Pei Xiuxiu and asked, "How did you find me?" I did it seamlessly. ”
Pei Xiuxiu said unceremoniously: "There is no impermeable wall in this world, since you have done something harmful, punishment will definitely find you, sooner or later."
"Tell me why, even if I fail, I want to know why I failed, obviously I think I've done a perfect job." Zhou Ling'er said unwillingly.
Pei Xiuxiu said: "I can suspect you, but it's actually luck." One day I overheard a conversation between Apricot and Liu Mei, Apricot said that one night when she was delivering something to you, she saw a fire in your room, she thought it was water, and when she hurriedly broke in, she found that you were secretly burning something. Xing'er asked you what to burn, and your answer was to burn paper money for the deceased, and who would burn paper money in the house? Unless it's something unsightly, such as clothes worn when pretending to be ghosts, masks and puppets used for scary, etc. ”
"That's it?" Zhou Ling'er said unconvinced: "Is there anything else?"
Pei Xiuxiu continued: "The second point is that you shouldn't pretend to be a ghost and make the Zeng Mansion unpeaceful. Do you think you're haunted by throwing bloody cursed dolls into the grass, buying a few scary masks and throwing them around, and then hanging a dead cat on the door? ”
Pei Xiuxiu sneered: "This is where you fail the most, you shouldn't do this." Let me talk about your flaws, first of all, the bloody full-body needle-piercing puppet, that kind of fabric is not owned by the next person at first glance, which you ignore. The next flaw is that on Halloween, we came to a plan, dressed up as a female ghost because we wanted to observe the expressions of everyone present. Unfortunately, you may not even realize that you were acting too calmly at the time, and it didn't look like the reaction of a weak woman at all. So why aren't you afraid? I guess before, you were the one who pretended to be a female ghost in the back kitchen to scare the fat aunt, and in order to cater to the haunting in the house, you deliberately pretended to be a ghost and scared people, making the whole house panic. ”
"Anything else?" Zhou Ling'er asked desperately.
Pei Xiuxiu said: "The reason why Xianggong and I acted separately was to lure the real culprit out and find out the truth as soon as possible. Zhou Ling'er, the person you bought the mask, my father-in-law has found it; The coroner, whom you paid for a great deal of money, has also been found; and Fushun are also in prison. Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, do you think you can escape? ”
After hearing this, Zhou Ling'er's heart suddenly felt like ashes.
Pei Xiuxiu finally added: "You should be aware that the reason why we pretend to be Cai Lian to scare you alone is actually to further verify the speculation in our hearts. The next day, you really found an excuse to go back to Dongsang Village, and by that time, in fact, I had already guessed in my heart that you were the real culprit behind all this. ”
Zhou Ling'er suddenly laughed like crazy and shouted, "So what? Anyway, I'm not the only loser, Pei Xiuxiu, you are also a loser. You can't be a mother anymore,
I can't pass on the ancestry to Brother Qingfeng. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, I see how you will have the face to go to your godmother's grave to burn incense in the future? Haha, the loser and Brother Qingfeng, as the son of General Li, since you are unwilling to take a concubine, your Li family will be the last. If you take a concubine, Pei Xiuxiu's good days will come to an end, hahaha...... We are all losers. ”
Zeng Qingfeng sank his dark face and said: "Let's go, follow me back to the yamen, it's not that I don't want to help you Ling'er, but I can't help you anymore." When you have murderous thoughts, you should have thought that there would be such an outcome. ”
At the gate of the post station, Zhou Ling'er was sitting on Zeng Qingfeng's horse with her hands tied, and Yuehua took Xiuxiu to the direction of the city.
Halfway through, when passing by the small cliff, Pei Xiuxiu, whose face was pale and sweating, fainted, and everyone was so frightened that everyone hurriedly stopped the horse.
Zeng Qingfeng hugged his beloved wife and shouted distressedly: "Lady, lady......"
Yuehua helped Xiuxiu take her pulse and stuffed a cold-warding pill into her mouth, hoping to temporarily relieve her pain.
"Brother Qingfeng, we'll see you in the next life!" I saw Zhou Ling'er standing on the edge of the cliff at some point, smiling, and saying lovelessly.
Zeng Qingfeng shouted at Zhou Ling'er: "Ling'er, don't do stupid things!"
Zhou Ling'er turned around and jumped into the cliff without looking back, her body fell lightly, life and death were unknown.
"Ling'er ......" Zeng Qingfeng stood on the edge of the cliff and watched Ling'er disappear.
