Chapter 100: The Sin of Desire

Hearing Ling Lan's words, An Chong's expression on his face kept changing, from shocked and stunned to incredulous, and finally he stared at the ground in a panic and didn't say a word.

The fragrance of flowers in the air gradually dissipated, and Mo Ziyu took the teacup to her lips and took a sip, staring at An Chong for a few breaths.

"If you don't want to talk about it, it's okay, why don't we tell me why you killed Lord Li, the young secretary of Dali Temple?"

An Chong, who was caught in his own world, struggled inwardly, he didn't know how Ling Lan could discover his secret, and when he was thinking about how to explain it next, he suddenly heard these words, which echoed in his ears like thunder, making his brain buzz and become blank.

He looked at Mo Ziyu blankly, the expression on his face a little stiff.

"Kill, who?"

"Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Lord Li Wen."

The sluggish An Chong and Mo Ziyu looked at each other, and after a few breaths, they suddenly sneered: "Heh! Are you going to bend into a fight? Want me to take the blame? I didn't expect that Lord Wumo and Miss Ling were also well versed in this. ”

By the end, his tone was full of mockery and anger.

Although his reaction was not fake, and he seemed to be really unaware of being wronged, the expression he showed seemed to be a little long, and there was a physical reaction that was almost none.

According to experiments, people have a time when they are shocked or other emotions occur, such as anger or fear, which are emotional expressions that only occur when they occur, and then gradually return to normal after they occur, and will not last long.

The shock on An Chong's face was obviously a little sluggish for a long time, and he kept his hands on his lap during this period and didn't move at all.

Therefore, Ling Lan felt that he was still lying.

She took a deep breath, this man can't be underestimated!

Mo Ziyu didn't bother with him, and said lightly: "At the flower appreciation meeting, Lord Li Wen and his wife spent a lot of money to buy your pot of blue peonies, isn't it?" ”

An Chong's eyes rolled, and he nodded thoughtfully: "I only know that it is Lord Li, and it is indeed with his wife." ”

Mo Ziyu smiled coldly: "After verification, after Lord Li brought your pot of blue peonies back to his residence, he began to have nightmares, was in a trance, and finally died of hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, what else do you have to say?" ”

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Master Mo, you are guilty of this crime."

"Desire to add sin? The official thinks this is easy to explain, there is a problem with your flower garden, so naturally there is a problem with your flowers, and Lord Li will only suffer from it after bringing it back to the house. ”

"Lord Mo, in fact, there is no problem with my flower garden, it must be that you do not comply with the requirements and steps into it, so you will be stunned by the fragrance of a variety of flowers, but only one flower is taken away by Lord Li, and the blue peony alone will never cause any harm to Lord Li's body."

His righteous words of justification surprised Mo Ziyu, and at the same time, he thought in his heart that Li Wen's death had nothing to do with him.

Through An Chong's angry eyes, Ling Lan seemed to be able to see the joy and disdain in his heart.

"You can't match a word from the person concerned, and you think we're going to sit here and interrogate you based on just guesswork?" Her lips opened slightly, and her voice was as calm as water.

An Chong was stunned, and his eyes moved to her full of puzzlement.

"According to Mrs. Li's personal recollection, after they put the pot of flowers in Lord Li's house, Lord Li was awakened by a nightmare that night, and then his mind was restless, and his mental condition became bad, and this was the case for several days in a row."

Ling Lan's voice was very soft, and gradually there was a kind of ethereal inspiration, and she observed the other party's demeanor and reaction as she spoke, and found something unusual.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, An Chong's eyes widened and said angrily: "Impossible, don't think that I can lie to me without knowing anything." ”

He roared, his hands clenched into fists invisibly, and his upper body was still leaning forward, because he was angry and ready to rush up.

Ling Lan thought back that her words not only made the other party very angry, but also irritated the other party.

The pot of flowers, Lord Li was awakened by a nightmare, etc., these Mo Ziyu had talked about it before, but he had never seen the other party in such a state.

After thinking about it seriously, she was shocked in her heart, it was Mrs. Li!

In order to verify whether it was correct, she slowly stood up and approached An Chong with brisk steps.

"I don't think you're going to know everything, on the contrary, you should know everything."

An Chong tilted his head and ignored her words.

Stopping two meters away, Ling Lan sorted out her thoughts and said word by word: "Before we came back, we had seen the grief-stricken Mrs. Li, and we were very relieved to learn that we had captured the suspect, and after repeatedly confirming that it was you, that is, the owner of the blue peony, Mrs. Li was furious, saying that you really have no conscience, and we owe it to Lord Li to pay you such a high amount of silver, so we must not be appeased, and return Lord Li to justice as soon as possible." ”

An Chong looked over as soon as she spoke, her eyes were round and red, and every nerve in her body was tense, like a trapped beast.

However, his extreme state did not break out, but suppressed after the storm surged, and returned to calm, as if you could say it casually, I couldn't understand it.

The corners of Ling Lan's mouth rose, and she chuckled: "Very good." ”

An Chong's brows furrowed, not knowing what she meant.

When the four eyes met, Ling Lan gave him a meaningful look, smiled and turned to walk out.

For some reason, An Chong's heart suddenly swelled up with a bad premonition, did he say the wrong thing just now? What else to say? Why did Ling Lan have that expression?

Mo Ziyu did not leave, and continued to ask him about stealing the bones, even if the other party had nothing to do with Li Wen's death, there was no need to quibble about stealing the bones of the cemetery, the bone powder on the stone mill could prove everything.

However, he still underestimated An Chong.

The other party kept his mouth shut, didn't know anything about it, and pretended to be confused about the bone meal on the stone mill, anyway, he didn't know anything...

When Mo Ziyu was angry and was about to be tortured, Tianyi entered the door and called him out, saying that there was something important.

After going out, the man said in a deep voice, "Send him to the interrogation room." ”

"Yes, sir." Tianyi responded and gave An Chong a look of suicide.

Outside, Ling Lan was pacing back and forth, and when she saw him come out, she stepped forward with a chuckle: "Let's go, go to the Li Mansion." ”

"Now?"

"Yes, I've asked Tianyi to prepare the carriage."

Mo Ziyu looked around at the vast night, not knowing why she suddenly went to the Li Mansion.

"An Chong has been pretending to be stupid and refuses to say anything, I think it's best to visit his residence and look for more evidence."

The carriage had already approached, Ling Lan pulled his sleeve and walked forward: "It's okay, he is willing to pretend to be stupid and follow him first, and wait until he comes back from the Li Mansion." ”

Mo Ziyu sat in the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, and after a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and said in surprise: "Do you suspect Mrs. Li?" ”
