Chapter 160: The Ghost Asks for His Life
Xiaolian's tone was low and a little vague: "It's the maid who entered the house with us..."
It turned out that in the cold winter of Layue a few months ago, they were angry because they were jealous of Yuqing's promotion to the personal maid of the fourth prince, and they just wanted to tease Yuqing and teach each other a lesson, but they never wanted to make a joke and cause the other party to die.
In the evening of the same day, when the sky was about to turn dark, Xiaolian pretended to spread the news that there was a person outside who claimed to be Yuqing's brother looking for her, and before Yuqing herself mentioned that she also had a brother, and she would come to the capital soon, and she would come to look for her when she came.
Yuqing was overjoyed and went straight to the door of the house, the sky did not know when the goose feathers and heavy snow were falling, Yuqing looked for people at the door to no avail, and walked back in frustration, because the road was slippery and accidentally fell.
At that time, Xiaolian and Xiaohe were watching in the dark, and they were very happy about this and relieved their grievances.
Xiaolian said that she would ignore her and go back by herself later, Xiaohe felt that it was right, and the two simply left, leaving Yuqing struggling to get up in the ice and snow.
As a result, the next morning, the house exploded, saying that someone had frozen to death after falling outside last night.
However, it didn't take long for the two of them to relax, because Yuqing's death did not cause the slightest wave, just like a pebble falling into the lake only caused a circle of ripples, and soon calmed down, and no one investigated and inquired about the matter, and it was regarded as an accident.
The two buried this matter in their hearts, and agreed with each other never to mention it again no matter what, and then the days were still normal and no problem, until one night two months ago, Xiaolian nervously found her and said that she had been having nightmares recently, and it was Yuqing who came to ask for her life.
At that time, she was very frightened and scolded the other party for not keeping her promises, but when she saw the other party choking up and explaining, she softened her heart and comforted her not to think nonsense.
But Xiaolian cried and said that it was true, and said that one night when she was half-asleep, she seemed to see Yuqing, dressed in white and with a hideous face.
Although she didn't want to believe it, Xiaolian's mental state was extremely poor when she was tormented by nightmares, Xiaohe had to comfort the other party, and secretly bought a calming medicine for the other party to take before going to bed, and finally settled down for a while, but before she could be completely relieved, something happened in the house, that is, the first maid to be killed.
Quietly listening to the ins and outs of the matter, she analyzed whether Yuqing's death would be related to this case?
Thinking about it, he asked again: "Xiaolian is the third to have an accident, and two maidservants were killed before, could it be that the previous two were also related to Yuqing's death?" ”
Xiaohe's sluggish gaze seemed to be frozen, and he spoke after a few breaths: "At the beginning, Yuqing and those two maids worked together, and the relationship was very bad, and once they even started fighting, of course Yuqing didn't beat the two of them, and then they were bullied very badly, so after they had an accident, Xiaolian kept saying that it was Yuqing who came back to take revenge, and those who bullied her would not have a good result." ”
Unexpectedly, there was such a hidden secret, Ling Lan couldn't help frowning after thinking about it, the result she got from Xiaohe's mouth was ghost revenge, which was unexpected by her.
In the silence, Xiaohe actually began to talk to herself: "It's Yuqing who came back to ask for my life, yes, I also started to have nightmares, just like Xiaolian said before, I can even see Yuqing's ghost wandering nearby, she is here to kill me, she wants to take me away, save me, help, Seventh Brother, save me..."
She spoke faster and faster, and her emotions became excited, until she finally fell to the ground with her head in her hands and woke up suddenly, gasping for breath.
Seventh brother!
It was the man who was in the stone forest with Xiaohe at that time.
At that time, when Ling Lan was choosing someone, he found Xiaohe with his breath, and as for the man, he could tell from his body and standing posture that he was brought back within five people.
Xiaohe lay on the ground curled up and cried, she didn't know what was going on, she only knew that it was painful, full of panic.
Ling Lan didn't open her mouth and let the other party calm down, at this time, there were thousands of thoughts in her mind but she couldn't connect them, she didn't expect that the back of the Serial Case of the Four Princes Mansion was actually related to a servant girl who had already died.
No one has ever mentioned it in such a long time?
Was Yuqing's death never taken to heart and not known, or did someone deliberately know about it and not report it?
It's normal for people in the mansion to intrigue, and it's not strange that people are killed, they may think that no one knows, but what about the people who manage them? Didn't notice anything?
"Miss Ling, the slave doesn't know what's wrong, I'm really sorry, I hope you don't get angry, if there is nothing else, the slave and maid will go out." Xiaohe finally calmed down and stood up from the ground with force.
Ling Lan raised her eyes to look at her, her dark eyes full of deep meaning.
Xiaohe was suddenly frightened, and sat on the stool unsteadily, she didn't know what happened just now, whether she said anything wrong, but she obviously found that the other party's expression was wrong, as if she saw something.
Just when she was almost frightened and almost couldn't bear it, she suddenly saw Ling Lan nodding slightly, signaling that she could go out.
Xiaohe stood up abruptly and walked out quickly, wishing that he had lost two legs.
Looking at the hasty back, Ling Lan slowly retracted her gaze, if it was really as the other party said, the three maidservants had an accident before Yuqing asked for their lives, and it would be her turn to speak next, now she can't startle the snake, she can take the opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole.
However, if the guess is wrong, it is obviously a delay.
She had to think about what if the people were under surveillance and control, but on the third day, if something happened again and she couldn't catch the murderer, it would be bad.
There was a sound of footsteps stopping at the door in contemplation, and Ling Lan raised her eyes to see Mo Ziyu pushing the door in.
"You're done asking everyone else?" She realized it later.
"Hmmm! People are out there. ”
Ling Lan was puzzled: "You are so fast?" A servant girl on my side has just ended, and the four of you have finished interrogating? ”
If you don't understand each other, you really suspect that you are fooling things.
Mo Ziyu came to the nearby and leaned on the table, smiling: "Speaking of which, you have spent almost three quarters of an hour, has there been any progress?" ”
Raising her hand and touching the tip of her nose, Ling Lan stood up: "Let's talk about it when we go out." ”
I don't know when Ling Lan is always worried that the wall has ears, unless she is particularly familiar with the environment, she still likes to talk in an open place, and the surroundings are unobstructed.
It may be that there are many masters of kung fu here, and if they don't get it right, they will be listened to and they don't know it.
Let the five subordinates wait outside, the two came to the courtyard to talk in a low voice, Ling Lan briefly recounted the situation, and asked each other's opinions by the way.
"Ghost revenge? Do you still believe this? Mo Ziyu's tone was obviously sarcastic.
Ling Lan was speechless: "The point is that do I believe it or not?" That's the case. ”
Mo Ziyu thought about it, and after a few breaths, he chuckled: "Let people go back first, and secretly monitor it, what the hell will be known tomorrow night." ”
