Liu Ling expected that around the third watch, when Tian Botai had arsenic attacks, it would be impossible to die instantly, and there would definitely be a phenomenon of struggling and screaming, and the three maids on duty at night would definitely find out.

Therefore, being killed is really the inertia of the murderer, and it is not uncommon.

Since there is a scream, Mrs. Tian is next to Tian Botai's pillow, how can she not hear it? No matter how exhausted she was, she couldn't lose all consciousness?

There is only one possibility, that is, Mrs. Tian was drugged!

Is that really the case?

Not long ago, Mrs. Tian concealed everything Tian Botai said to her, didn't she want to avenge her husband, how could she feel at ease if the murderer couldn't be found in one day?

Liu Ling felt more and more that there was something wrong with Mrs. Tian.

Next, she was going to meet this Mrs. Tian.

Due to her weak health and sad mood, Mrs. Tian was sent to Xuanyuan a long time ago.

Tian Botai's ice coffin was still placed in the main room of the Xuan Courtyard, and Mrs. Tian was cultivating in the east wing.

The Xuan Yuan has already begun to raise the spirit flag, and it looks desolate.

Many of the maidservants on duty in the courtyard were dressed in sackcloth and fully equipped.

Because of the clothes of the maid of Tianfu, Liu Ling was given great convenience, and went straight to the east wing.

Busy people, no one questioned her because of her unfamiliar face.

There was a maid left in the room to serve around the room, and through the light blue gauze tent, I dimly saw Mrs. Tian lying on her back on the bed, looking at the top blankly.

"Meet Mrs. Tian, the slave has something to report." Liu Ling bowed down and said cautiously.

"Say!" Mrs. Tian's indifferent words made Liu Ling sound like she wanted to evacuate immediately.

Liu Ling glanced at the maid who was standing like a carved pine: "Mrs. Tian, can you speak alone?" ”

Mrs. Tian noticed that there was something wrong in Liu Ling's words, turned her body in the direction of Liu Ling, and stared at Liu Ling with sharp eyes for a long time before raising her hand and waving away the maid beside her: "Girl, sit down." ”

Liu Ling's fake identity can be identified at a glance, it seems that this Mrs. Tian's answer in the front hall is indeed intentional, concealing everything, and there must be an ulterior secret.

Liu Ling didn't want to sit down, and still stood in place: "Mrs. Tian has good eyesight, there are so many people in the Tian Mansion, and she can recognize me as someone outside the Tian Mansion at once, the little woman admires it!" ”

"You...... Since the girl was able to come here openly, I don't think you care about telling me who you are, do you? ”

Liu Ling was stunned, is he above board? It doesn't seem to be. can enter Tianfu in disguise, how can it be called above board.

The more Liu Ling thought about it, the more he felt that there was a thorn in Mrs. Tian's words: "I...... I am Liu Ling, the servant of the county government of Dongcheng County......"

"Oh, it turned out to be the famous Liu Yanzuo! It's just that I don't know, Liu Cheng made my Tianfu at the behest of the government, or was it your own idea? ”

"Because of the involvement of several cases, I came here privately."

Mrs. Tian sneered: "Oh? What kind of case is it that is involved in the death of the master? It seems that the arrival of Liu Qizuo is not trivial, let's talk about it, I'll listen. ”

"I'll just ask Mrs. Tian a few questions bluntly, I hope Mrs. Tian won't blame me for my recklessness?"

Mrs. Tian didn't speak, waved her hand twice, and acquiesced to Liu Ling's words.

Liu Ling continued: "Mrs. Tian, I also listened to the court trial just now, but I have a little doubt, Mrs. Tian and Lord Tian have been husband and wife for decades, sharing weal and woe, supporting each other to this day, and understanding each other as one.

Miss Tian can see the strangeness of Lord Tian, why can't Mrs. Tian see it? Could it be that Mrs. Tian deliberately concealed important things that were not known? ”

"I said I really didn't see it, is Liu Chengzuo credible?"

Of course not!

It's a pity that Tian Botai's conversation with Mrs. Tian last night, Liu Ling can't reveal it all now, after all, it is not a gentleman's work to break into Tian's mansion to eavesdrop on other people's night talks.

Although he is not a gentleman, but that was before Tian Botai died, if he said it, he would definitely become the target of suspicion.

When the time comes, stealing chickens will not make a fool of rice, and there will be no arguments!

Liu Ling replied, "Doesn't Mrs. Tian want to catch the murderer who killed him for Lord Tian?" ”

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Mrs. Tian was furious, and slapped the edge of the bed with her hand, startling Liu Ling.

Liu Ling looked at Mrs. Tian in a daze, it seemed that what she asked was not appropriate, which really angered her.

After a moment, Mrs. Tian gritted her teeth and squeaked: "I can't wait to tear apart that hateful murderer with my own hands, it is he who separates me from the old man, and it will be difficult to meet again." ”

Liu Ling let out a long breath, fortunately Mrs. Tian did not affect her.

Liu Ling froze and continued: "Mrs. Tian, if you don't tell the truth, how can the murderer be caught? I just feel ......"

"Liu Yanzuo, you keep asking me, what do you mean? Even if I know something, my Xin'er has already confessed, where is there any superfluous concealment, does Liu Qizuo have to know something? ”

This is really a stubborn old lady, Liu Ling can't pry her mouth open at all.

It seems that she is not forcing her, but forcing herself to reveal some things, otherwise, this time I am afraid that she will return in vain: "Mrs. Tian, I can't help but be honest with you, a few days ago, Miss Tian was not engaged to the eldest son of the Xu family."

Later, you walked out of the mansion at the same time as Lord Tian and said goodbye to Lord Xu and his son. At that time, many passers-by stopped to watch on the road, which should not be a secret, right? ”

"There is such a thing, it seems that I happened to be met by Liu Yanzuo at that time, but it was a coincidence." Mrs. Tian's smile almost gave people goosebumps.

Liu Ling froze and continued: "Mrs. Tian is right, it's really a coincidence, what is even more coincidental than this is that the object in my case is almost the same as the jade pendant that Lord Tian accidentally dropped on the ground. ”

"What did you say?" Mrs. Tian sat up suddenly, but she didn't open the veil tent, "You also have the same jade pendant on you?" ”

"No, it's a pity, I just listened to the description of the deceased's relatives when I was handling the case."

"Without a real object, it's ridiculous to be able to conclude the similarities of jade pendants just by one of your mouths!" Mrs. Tian lay on the bed again, and simply narrowed her eyes, unwilling to deal with Liu Ling anymore.

Liu Ling didn't want to stop there, and still wanted to persuade Mrs. Tian: "I hope Mrs. Tian doesn't want to be careless, when I saw the jade pendant in Lord Tian's hand, I had two guesses, one of which is that he may be the main culprit in the previous cases."

Second, he may also be a victim who is about to become a murderer to destroy. Just when I was hesitating to remind Lord Tian, I didn't expect the murderer to do so quickly.

And now, Mrs. Tian knows too much, it is difficult to say whether the murderer will let you go, I hope Mrs. Tian will quickly tell me the secret of the jade pendant, so that the suspect can be locked up as soon as possible and arrested! ”
