Chapter 20: The Weak-Hearted Shopkeeper
Thinking about it, Yaluo said before that the Nabei people are good at medicine, and they are naturally very familiar with mountain herbs.
Seeing that she was quiet again, Mo Ziyu became serious: "When did you start to suspect the green kite?" ”
Ling Lan thought about it and slowed down: "At first, I just felt that she had a special smell on her, and if I doubted it, it started with Sister Qiao's confession. ”
Sister Qiao's confession!
Mo Ziyu recalled seriously, thought about it, and her eyes lit up: "At that time, Sister Qiao said that she was not feeling well, and it was Qing Kite who asked Min'er to send her back. ”
"That's right, according to Sister Qiao, the green kite is very good to them, and she will send things from time to time if she doesn't dislike them, which shows that they are closer, and it will also make the green kite know them better."
"But Qing Kite is an unarmed girl, even if she uses Songteng to kill people, it won't be so easy, how can she not leave any clues?" Mo Ziyu began to frown again.
The corners of Ling Lan's mouth rose, and her smile was a little more meaningful.
"What's that look on your face?"
Ling Lan chuckled: "Is Lord Mo reluctant?" ”
Although her words puzzled Mo Ziyu, she still quickly reacted from her subtle expression.
"I don't think you want the silver anymore."
"What does this have to do with my silver, a hundred taels, not half a cent." Ling Lan immediately became serious, extremely serious.
This is the first time that Mo Ziyu has seen her have such a big emotional reaction, whether it is facing a terrifying corpse or a clueless case, the other party always proceeds calmly and methodically.
After thinking about it, he pretended to be careless: "If the green kite is really the murderer, it will be your credit, I don't know what you plan to do after you get the silver?" ”
Speaking of silver, Ling Lan smiled like a flower, a hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, she can do a little business, complete the freedom of food, and sleep until she wakes up naturally every day... Of course, the premise is to leave the criminal department as soon as possible, keep a distance from Mo Ziyu, and it is best to never see each other again.
Although she didn't respond, Mo Ziyu still saw a little bit of thought, because her expression changed too obviously.
"The murderer hasn't been determined yet, so you better stop dreaming." The man's tone was a little stiff.
Ling Lan pursed her lips, look, how annoying this man is.
The carriage went straight to Yihong Pavilion, and the time was shorter than when it came.
At the beginning of the day, Mo Ziyu knocked on the wooden door of Yihong Pavilion with his fist, and the sound was like a wave, which was very harsh.
The guy was already scolding the street before opening the door, and when he saw the people outside the door clearly, he suddenly became dumb and laughed awkwardly.
Mo Ziyu didn't talk nonsense, strode into the door and asked the guy to call everyone up, and gathered in the hall downstairs after a quarter of an hour.
In the face of his imposing posture, how dare the guy say nothing, and his trembling legs went straight upstairs to call Sister Hong.
However, after a while, only Sister Hong went downstairs.
"Master Mo, there are still a lot of distinguished guests here at this time, it's not good for you to make such a big move!"
After meeting several times, this was the first time that Sister Hong protested unhappily.
Mo Ziyu looked at Sister Hong, who came from upstairs, and suddenly took a few steps to the staircase, his face was cold and his tone was cold: "Do you want to make a big move?" In that case, I'm going to let you know what a real fight is. ”
Sister Hong suddenly had a bad premonition, it was bad, she shouldn't have provoked the other party, she really didn't wake up and her mind was not bright.
Just as she was about to explain that it was a misunderstanding, she had just said the wrong thing when she heard a low, chilling voice sound again.
"Tianyi, send someone to invite all the girls and people who work in Yihong Pavilion to the Criminal Department to sit down."
Sister Hong's legs trembled and she almost fell, if she went to the Criminal Department, she wouldn't have to do this business, who would dare to come again in the short term.
"Master Mo, don't, you dissipate your anger, it's all the slave family is not good, it's the slave family who can't speak, and it's a waste of time to go back and forth, you take a sip of tea first and wait for a while, and the slave family will let the girls go downstairs."
She didn't dare to linger any longer as she spoke, and immediately turned around and ran up the steps...
As soon as Tian saw that Master Mo didn't speak again, he continued to guard the door.
Ling Lan looked around and found that the guy who opened the door before was a little familiar, and he was standing not far away trembling, obviously he had never seen this posture frightened.
"I remember, you were the one who left when I saw Chen Gongzi before, right?"
I was already so frightened that I didn't know what to do, and I didn't pay attention to when Ling Lan approached, when I suddenly heard the guy in the shop tremble, if it wasn't for leaning against the wall, it was very likely that he would not be able to stand unsteadily and fall.
Ling Lan half-narrowed her eyes, Mo Ziyu was really that terrifying? Just standing there and saying a word can scare people like this?
Or is this guy surnamed Zhao weak-hearted?
"Yes, it's small." Lin Kui lowered his head in response, not daring to look at Ling Lan.
"I remember, you said before that on the day Chen Tao was killed, you saw him leave here with your own eyes around the beginning of the day, right?"
This time, Lin Kui nodded vigorously and did not speak, and his head was lowered.
Seeing this, Ling Lan took another step closer, and her voice was a little softer: "Are you sure, it's the beginning of the day?" ”
Lin Kui continued to nod, still not daring to look up.
"Then are you sure it's Chen Tao who you saw with your own eyes?" Ling Lan's voice was a little ethereal, and it seemed very unreal.
However, Lin Kui, who had always nodded like garlic, paused for a moment, and had reacted directly before, but this time he continued to nod after a few breaths, and this time he nodded slightly, not so hard.
"Lin Kui, please raise your head and look at me."
This process was obviously too slow, and Lin Kui was very unnatural, raising his head as if in slow motion, but only glanced at Ling Lan and immediately moved away.
Although there was only this glance, Ling Lan still caught the panic and uneasiness in his eyes.
"You didn't see Chen Tao walk out of Yihong Pavilion with your own eyes, did you?" Ling Lan's words changed sharply, and her tone was extremely determined.
Almost instantly, Lin Kui looked at her in disbelief, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing, at this time his hands were clenched together, and his legs were shaking unnaturally.
"Answer her." Mo Ziyu didn't know when she came behind Ling Lan, her voice was as cold as ice and snow in winter.
Lin Kui, whose psychological defense line was about to collapse, was frightened again, and he knelt directly on the ground unsteadily: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, it's all Sister Hong who asked the little one to say this..."
At the same time, Sister Hong, who was walking downstairs again, just heard that an unstable foot almost rolled down from the second floor, but fortunately, there was a girl on her side to support her in time, and she also grabbed the handrail quickly.
At this time, her hair was in a bad bun and her clothes were disheveled, so she still shouted eagerly: "Master Mo, the slave family is wronged, it's not that the slave family intends to let the guy lie, I really think it's Chen Xiaogongzi!" ”
Mo Ziyu gave her a closed look, Sister Hong moved her lips but didn't dare to say more, so she could only speed up her pace and go downstairs.
