Chapter 112: The Man Behind the Scenes

"Slave maid...... The slave doesn't know ......"

Xianglian couldn't speak, her body trembled, but at this moment, she was broken through the last line of defense, and she was already planning to tell her, "The slave doesn't know who he is...... I didn't know it was poison...... The man only said that I would not be killed, and told me to go down to the meal, and then gave the slave and maid a sum of money, and said that there would be more payment after the deed......"

Xianglian suddenly cried out loud, leaned down, and kowtowed, "Old lady, madam, master, the slave doesn't know that it's poison, the slave just wants to save her mother and younger brother, the slave doesn't want to kill, the slave doesn't know ......"

"The mother of the family has been sick for a long time, the doctor said that he can't survive this winter, the younger brother is also sick since he was a child, the father does not like to work all day and drinks, there is only one slave in the family, if the slave and the maid do not care, the family can only die, the slave and the maid ...... The slave has no choice...... Madame is generous and has given a lot of grace to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid ......"

Xianglian couldn't cry, Li Mu sighed, "I'll talk about these later, you can tell me how that person explained, how you acted, why didn't you admit it as soon as possible just now?" ”

Xianglian sobbed a few times, and straightened up when she heard the words, "The man covered his face, and left after explaining, the slave and maid are usually responsible for delivering food, today the slave and maid and the six of them carried the food box together, and none of the seven of us specially arranged it, everyone went to set up the table casually, the first one chose a table, and the one who came later went to set up another table, the slave and maid were poisoned when they were about to walk to Merlin, and they didn't notice it...... The slave didn't come out to admit it just now because ......"

"First, because the slave is afraid, and second...... Second ......"

Xianglian hesitated, raised her eyes and glanced at the people standing on the steps, and then her eyes showed two points of confusion, "It's because ...... It's because the person who confessed to the slave and maid poisoning was not Deputy Lieutenant Lin......"

"What?!" Li Mu frowned and asked, and the fragrant lotus who drank straight shook his head!

Xianglian trembled and said tremblingly, "That person asked the slave to poison the ...... Give Qin Shizi ......"

After Xianglian finished speaking, the whole person suddenly fell on the ground and sobbed, and everyone was in an uproar, poisoning Qin drunk?!

Luo Zhenbei and the others all looked at Qin Zui, but Qin Zui couldn't see any expression because his face was covered with a white scarf, he seemed to frown slightly, and his body was still in a sick and weak state of lack of qi, and he didn't even have any extra surprise.

"People who are about to die will also be suspicious?"

Qin Zui opened his mouth, and coughed lightly twice as soon as the words fell, and Luo Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he was surprised, fortunately, it was not Qin Zui who drank the bowl of soup...... However, I couldn't help but wonder, "Where did you put it when you put it?" ”

Xianglian lowered her head, and her urn voice was angry, "The slave and maid are on the table of the prince." ”

"Huh?" Luo Chen was slightly surprised, glanced at Qin Zui but couldn't help but laugh, "This is strange, what is placed in Qin Shizi's place, how can it be Lin Ji who died?" I guess Lin Ji took the wrong ......"

"How is that possible?!" Lin Yuan was the first to react, "Their seats are so far away, how could they get the wrong one?" ”

Luo Chen was slightly surprised, "It's not a mistake or what?" Could it be that someone specifically changed the bowl? ”

Lin Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, Li Mu waved his hand, "It's not the time to talk about this, Deputy Lieutenant Lin was probably just injured by mistake, now you have to know who wants to murder Qin Shizi......"

As he spoke, he turned to Xianglian, "You didn't see that person's face, you always recognize the voice, right?" ”

Xianglian was stunned for a moment and nodded, "You should still remember that as long as that person speaks in front of the slave maid......"

Li Mu bowed slightly, and asked again, "When and where did that person find you?" How many times have I looked for you? ”

Xianglian sobbed a few times, tried to restrain her crying, and then straightened up and said, "Twice, the first time was at the east gate of the mansion, it was the evening three days ago, when it was just dark, the slave was responsible for picking up the house at the east gate that day to buy Mama Xu, when I just went, I was alone, and the person who didn't stand for long came, and the second time was the evening two days ago." ”

"The first time, the man said let me think about it one day, and if I agreed, I would come here again the next night, slave and maid...... The slave thought about it for a day, and went the next day, and sure enough, not long after he went, he arrived......"

Li Mu turned around when he heard this, "My lord, it seems that the person behind the scenes knows the layout of the mansion very well, and must have also investigated the background of the maid in the mansion, in addition, both times it was just to seize the gap between Xianglian and go to the east gate, it is very likely that that person has been monitoring Xianglian, and the Luo Mansion is heavily guarded, and only his own people can lurk for so long and come and go freely." ”

After a slight pause, Li Mu said affirmatively, "My lord, I'm afraid it's someone from the house." ”

Now, including Qin Zui, Lin Yuan, and Qi Xiao, there are dozens of people who live in Luofu instead of Luofu, counting the guards who come and go from time to time, I am afraid that there will be nearly a hundred people, and among so many people, who would want to kill Qin Zui?

It is impossible for Luofu to kill his own people, killing people in his own mansion will only cause trouble for himself, and Luofu and Qin Zui have no grudges, no reason and motive, and Qin Zui can't kill himself by himself, then the only ones left are Lin and Qi Xiao.

The answer is obvious, it depends on whether someone turns a blind eye.

"Insiders? The people in the house want to harm Qin Shizi? Lin Yuan asked rhetorically, and then said, "Does Qin Shi's nephew have any suspicions or grudges with anyone in the mansion?" ”

Qin Zui shook his head, "Qin Zui lives in a simple place, and he has never had a grudge against anyone. ”

Lin Yuan looked puzzled, "That's weird...... said and looked at Li Mu with great annoyance, "So you mean that Lin Ji was just unjustly killed?" ”

Li Mu bowed slightly, "Now it seems that this is indeed the case." ”

Lin Yuan sneered and looked at Xianglian, "Even if she dies unjustly, she is also a murderer, I don't know what adults will do with her?!" ”

"Xianglian is indeed guilty, but now she needs to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and the general should not be impatient."

As soon as these words came out, Xianglian suddenly cried in fear, Li Mu glanced at her, "First detain her in the dungeon of the mansion, and then let her identify the suspects in the mansion, she is the only one who knows the information of the person behind the scenes, so she has to keep it first." ”

Xianglian was crying and despairing, but the matter had come to this, and she had no choice but to cooperate with Li Mu.

"Lin Ji's corpse is not cold, if you want to investigate, start now, everyone in the mansion now gathers over, let Xianglian identify them one by one, and first rule out the suspicion of some people......"

Luo Zhenbei decisively ordered, and Li Mu hurriedly responded.

Shaoguang slowly moved to Qin Zui's side behind, Qin Zui noticed her movements and turned his head slightly, so he listened to Shaoguang and asked, "How did that bowl of soup get to Lin Ji......
