Chapter 7 Wisdom and self-preservation
"I have no grievances with the Sparrow, and besides, I don't run away after killing someone, but I want to wake up the people and tell them that the Sparrow has been killed, isn't it superfluous?" Firecrackers calmly explained.
"Too much? I don't think so! The eldest lady still smiled, "Maybe you want to confuse everyone with this move." ”
"It's still the same sentence, I have no grievances with Zhuque, why kill her, if you accidentally bump into her and be killed, you will be suspected of murder, then the slave is really wronged!"
"Please be a big lady!" Firecrackers knelt on the ground.
"Get up, don't kneel." The eldest lady said softly: "I didn't say that you must have killed people,
Have you ever seen the perpetrator? ”
"No, when the slave and maid heard the sound and ran over, the murderer had already left, and only Zhuqi was left." The firecracker did not get up.
"Did the Pearlfinch die on the spot?" The eldest lady questioned.
"Why is this so strange?" Firecracker muttered in her heart, "Yes, it looks like a knife cut her throat, and Suzaku was already breathing when the slave found her." ”
It seems that the eldest lady sighed slightly, but it seems that there is not.
"Do you know who has ever had a quarrel or a bad fight?"
"I don't know, the slave has nothing to do with the sparrow, and she rarely walks in front of us."
"yes, got it." The eldest lady tapped her hand on the table, "I have questioned a few maids who are close to the pearl sparrow, and they have never said why. ”
"Do you have a suspicious candidate in mind?"
"No, Madame." Firecracker still had his head down.
"If you know anything, you must tell me, and you can't let our garden make a fool of yourself because of the pearl sparrow."
"Yes." Firecrackers promised, but it's a pity that if I really tell you what I know, it will be a catastrophe.
"You go out first and call Aunt Xin in."
"Yes, eldest lady, the slave and maid are retired." Firecracker got up and went out and told Aunt Xin.
Aunt Xin glanced at her meaningfully, turned around and entered the Zhaoxi Pavilion.
She didn't know what the eldest lady said to Aunt Xin again, but she knew that in the next few days, everyone in the mansion looked at her and avoided her, and she didn't know what she had done wrong.
If you say it, she didn't do anything wrong, how can she be a person who can't be saved, she is just unlucky.
At first, she thought it was just that the people in the house thought that she had recruited a dead person and was unlucky. Later, it turned out that things were not so simple.
One evening, when she returned to the house after finishing her work, she walked to the door and heard Jue'er and Feng Rong say: "Aunt Xin also told us to keep an eye on her, it's too late for us to hide, staying in the same room as the murderer, I'm almost scared to death." ”
"That's right, I think it's her, did you see it that day, she hurried to sleep when she came back from the master, like no one, if I saw such a terrible scene, how could I still sleep?" Feng Rong said.
"I see, she's so suspicious, it's better to arrest her directly, why keep her?" Ringer muttered dissatisfiedly.
It turned out that the eldest lady still didn't let her go, presumably because she wanted to use her as a scapegoat. The firecrackers didn't make a sound, and they walked alone to the corner of the garden.
"What should I do, I can't sit still, without evidence, they must have to fake evidence to frame me."
Sure enough, within a few days, she was squeezed by the two maids who were sweeping the garden.
"Oh my God, stay away from her, how dare you sweep the yard with her?" A maid whose name she couldn't name said that she was not familiar with it, and that she should have just arrived.
"yes, yes, come here. Let her sweep that side herself. Ying'er pulled the maid to the side.
The two of them swept and muttered, "You know what? I heard Aunt Xin say that she had quarreled with Pearlfinch over a pair of bracelets. ”
"What? Did I quarrel with the Pearls? Firecrackers pricked up their ears and listened.
