In fact, when deducing the real motive of the murderer, Chen Ying herself felt quite incredible.

"The doubts of the little marquis at this time are the doubts I had a moment ago." She said helplessly, stopped her steps, turned her head to meet Pei Shu's gaze, and said in a serious tone: "However, judging from all the clues, it is the real reason why the murderer committed the murder, that is, the motive for the killing. ”

Pei Shu also stopped at this time, looked down at her, his expression was unprecedentedly serious, and asked, "Why?" ”

Why does the murderer have to be worried about He Juncheng?

What benefits can he get from He Juncheng's Ding Wei?

Except for the vacancy experienced in Jinan Mansion, Pei Shu couldn't think of any other purpose for the murderer to kill Old Lady He.

He was answered with a slight sigh.

"When the elders in the family pass away, the children must keep filial piety in the family, and the little marquis should know this." Chen Ying said in a rambling voice, stepping forward again.

Unconsciously, the two of them had come from across the courtyard to the gate of He Mansion.

And Pei Shu's answer didn't sound until they stepped out of the threshold.

"This official naturally knows." His voice was still mellow, but it no longer had the wine-like charm it once had.

He always felt that Chen Ying's question was like a trap, but he couldn't understand where this feeling came from.

Chen Ying knew his confusion, so he didn't continue to sell Guanzi, but said bluntly: "Leaving the He family in Penglai County is the murderer's motive for killing." ”

Pei Shu didn't speak, but his forward movements stopped for a moment.

Chen Ying's answer was surprisingly simple, and no one could help but think about it.

"It's too simple to be simple, isn't it?" Chen Ying seemed to be asking him, and as if asking himself, but his tone was steady and calm: "When I first learned this, I was also very shocked. However, based on the various behaviors of the murderer when he killed the person, as well as some information I asked from the people of the He family, I can be sure that this simple reason is the murderer's motive for killing. And this motive has nothing to do with the court and the corruption case in Dengzhou Mansion, it is purely a personal grudge. ”

Speaking of this, she stopped and turned her head to look at Pei Shu.

At this moment, the gloomy sky was heavy above their heads, reflecting his neat face and the gloomy expression on it.

Chen Ying knew that Pei Shu was a little incomprehensible.

After all, from the perspective of Dengzhou Mansion and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this case is not a simple murder case, but an aftermath of the rivalry between the enemy and our forces. At this time, Chen Ying separated the case from the political situation, which should be unexpected by everyone.

After contemplating his eyebrows and thinking about it, Chen Ying stepped forward again, and his voice sounded: "Let's go back to those strange footprints, I don't know if the little marquis has noticed that the most dense and messy place of the murderer's footprints is near the residence of Lord He and his wife?" ”

Pei Shu didn't speak, only nodded slightly.

Chen Ying continued: "So, has the little marquis ever thought about why the murderer has been hanging out outside the house of Lord He and his wife for a long time? What's he doing? ”

Pei Shu glanced at her, as if he was a little lacking in interest, but he still gave the answer as much as he could: "According to what this official sees, the murderer should be hesitating, or observing the situation." Or maybe he just wanted to find an opportunity to do it, but found that the odds were too small, so he gave up. ”

The answer was a deliberate one, and he felt that it should be very comprehensive and not erroneous.

When Chen Ying heard this, the corners of his lips under the fence curved, and he said calmly: "The little marquis is right, the murderer should be observing the situation, as for his purpose of observing the situation, I will put it aside for the time being, just say that when he was circling outside the house, he could also hear the conversation between Lord He and his wife." In my opinion, the reason why the murderer stayed for a long time is very likely to be because of the content of the conversation between Lord He and his wife, and what they said was exactly what the murderer was interested in, so he followed Lord He and his wife, from the bright room to the west room and then to the bedroom, in order to hear all their conversations. ”

The expression on Pei Shu's face instantly froze.

This speculation can't be said to be unnovel, he touched his chin and looked at Chen Ying, and there was a bit of interest in his eyes.

At this moment, the previous feeling of being led by the nose became a little lighter.

It's really strange to say, every time he encounters this kind of thing that requires careful analysis, and Chen Ying happens to be on his side, Pei Shu always feels that his brain is a little bit weak.

"I just asked Mr. and Mrs. Ho, and they said that they went to bed late last night, about 10 o'clock in the evening." Chen Ying said at this time, raising his hand and brushing the wind-blown long yarn: "And in the half hour from Haichu (nine o'clock in the evening) to Haizheng (ten o'clock in the evening), his husband and wife have been chatting, and the place of the chat is in the three rooms I just mentioned, and the main topic is about the various arrangements for leaving Penglai County. ”

Speaking of this, she turned her eyes to look at Pei Shu, her voice was slightly lowered, and she said a little mysteriously: "They must have quarreled." Although neither of them said it explicitly, judging from the few words they revealed, they should have quarreled fiercely. ”

Pei Shu was stunned.

It took several breaths for him to finally understand that Chen Ying was not joking, but telling the truth.

His expression suddenly became extremely strange.

How did this turn to this?

What's wrong with couples quarrelling? Does this have anything to do with the homicide?

"The little marquis may think that these trivial matters have nothing to do with this case." Chen Ying's words seemed to be answering Pei Shu's question, and his voice was extremely solemn: "But the actual situation is just the opposite. It was precisely because of the half-hour-long dispute between Lord He and his wife that the murderer finally decided to kill Mrs. He and put it into reality. ”

Pei Shu couldn't believe his ears a little.

Is there anyone in this world who wants to kill someone because he overhears someone else's conversation?

However, after thinking about it again, he remembered the strange autopsy record.

The murderer's bizarre killing methods seem to confirm Chen Ying's inference to some extent.

"That's it...... Seriously? Pei Shu looked at Chen Ying, his expression mixed with doubt and incomprehension.

"Absolutely." Chen Ying nodded, and even stopped, raised her hand and lifted the long veil on the fence, so that Pei Shu could see her unsmiling face at the moment: "I'm not kidding, I really think so." As far as I know, when Lord He and Mrs. He were chatting last night, they mentioned a few things about Ding Wei. Moreover, the reason for their quarrel yesterday, or rather the focus of their dispute, was for one person, the clear mind. ”
