"Okay, okay. In other words, Qingli offended Gao Chi at the lantern riddle meeting, but Gao Chi may not kill her. Xiaoshu leaned back a little frustratedly, "It means that the clue of this case has been broken again, and you have to start from the beginning." ”

I sighed sullenly and poured half a cup of cold tea from the teacup.

goetzpartners ...... goetzpartners ...... I always feel that this name is a little familiar, and I have heard it in my previous life.

In the suburbs of spring in March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring and scenery are bright, and there is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's a pity that I didn't have the heart to appreciate it when I was in a hurry.

For the time being, the possibility of Qingli being killed in revenge was ruled out, and I had to comb through the known clues bit by bit.

The thought that my head hurt so much that it was about to explode, a sentence that I had never cared about before, but suddenly gave me a revelation.

Yuncui said that she used to be Qingli's maid.

So, what about Qingli's current maid?

This sudden thought woke me up from my midnight lethargy.

It stands to reason that Qingli's maid should be the one who knows the most about Qingli's situation. However, among the known Tianxianglou people who were taken away by Ying Tianfu for interrogation, there was no such person as Qingli's maid!

So, where did her maid go?

With this doubt, I came to the bank of the Qinhuai River again the next day.

Tianxianglou was burned clean by a fire, the old bustard and others are still in prison, the girls of Tianxianglou, Xiaoqi and so on are naturally scattered, many of them went to other nearby flower buildings, it is not difficult to find.

After some inquiry, I have learned about the matter of Qingli's maid.

Qingli's maid's name is Chun Tao, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old country girl, a month ago because of illness, was sent back to her hometown on the outskirts of Jinling by Qingli, because after Qingli's accident, no one thought of this little maid who was no longer in Tianxianglou.

Pushing open a creaking wooden door, I saw a little girl in coarse cloth sitting in the courtyard, weaving baskets with her hands and feet.

"The girl is a spring peach?"

The little girl looked up in response, looked at me with a pair of big watery eyes and blinked, "Exactly, I don't know who the son is?" ”

I heard that Chun Tao was seriously ill before, and I was worried that this trip would be in vain, but now I see her ruddy face and smart eyes, how can there be a trace of serious illness?

"Miss Chuntao, in Xiabei Town, Fusi Jinyiwei, I have come to ask you something about Qingli."

Hearing that I came for Qingli, Chun Tao obviously hesitated and shrank, and the eyes that looked at me also added a little doubt, "Childe is really Jinyiwei?" ”

I took out the dark gold bronze medal and lit it up in front of her, but I smiled secretly in my heart: I have carried it on my body for many days, and I don't want it to come in handy.

"What do you know about Qingli's death?"

"A few days ago, I was shocked when I heard that Sister Qingli died." Chun Tao lowered her head and timidly twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, "But a month ago, Sister Qingli sent me home on the grounds of illness...... Adult, I really don't know how Sister Qingli died! ”

"On the grounds of illness," I immediately grasped the suspicion in her words, "that is, you are not sick at all, are you?" ”

"I'm ......," Chun Tao became more and more nervous, "It's not that I'm not completely sick, but I have a cold and typhoid fever...... But Sister Qingli said, take pity on my hard work on weekdays, let me go home and rest for a few days, and I will come back if I have a lot of money per month...... I didn't expect that to happen. ”
