Chapter 167: The Mysterious Man
The next morning, Ling Lan and Mo Ziyu came to the Four Princes' Mansion, and Steward Zhou cooperated very well and handed over a list of personnel, which was a list of people who had entered the mansion two and a half months ago.
"We find more than a dozen people every time, so it is easy to manage and talk about the rules." Steward Zhou explained softly.
There are a lot of names on this list, half of each male and female, Ling Lan's gaze swept over it, and found a familiar name, Lin Qi.
This should be the seventh brother in Xiaohe's mouth, and he is also the man who Mo Ziyu mentioned lying before.
At that time, I thought that they had been together for a long time from the state between Xiaohe and Lin Qi, but I didn't expect it to be more than two months, which was unexpected.
Of course, if you really like it, you don't care about the length of time, but there is another possibility, which is central air conditioning.
"My lord, there are more than twelve people today, so it is better to interrogate them in the mansion, and the old slave will arrange a suitable place." Steward Zhou proposed again.
Mo Ziyu promised that she could.
Steward Zhou quickly stepped back and looked at Ling Lan's back as she left.
"Was there any progress last night?" She asked in a low voice.
Mo Ziyu shook his head: "No, the two of them went back to rest normally, and they started to work hard when they came out in the morning." ”
Ling Lan was not surprised by this result, nor did she feel anxious.
"Let's look at it, don't be careless."
"Today, the people of Tianyi will personally guard it, and there will be no accidents."
While it was uncertain whether the guess was correct so far, the duo had to be prepared.
A moment later, in a secluded courtyard, the two of them were interrogated alone, and the people in the criminal department recorded them separately and looked at them solemnly.
In the room where Ling Lan was, the first man to enter was Hu Yang, who was doing fire work in the kitchen, short and fat, and looked dark and swarthy in his thirties.
When you come to the designated place and sit down, you will introduce yourself at first, and then you will be quiet and wait for the question.
An inexplicable thought appeared in her mind, Ling Lan leaned back and whispered, "Are you familiar with the three maids who were killed?" ”
Hu Yang nodded hurriedly: "Back to the girl's words, the little ones are all familiar, and the house says that the small ones are not big or big, and we can often meet." ”
This answer is correct, if someone really comes up and denies that they are not familiar with it and have not seen it much, then there is definitely a problem.
Nodding with satisfaction, her tone was a little calmer: "Since you are familiar, tell me what you know about these three people?" ”
"It's a girl, but you wait a minute, think about it."
Ling Lan nodded silently and waited unhurriedly.
It didn't take long for Hu Yang to speak, and he said: "The first two girls who had an accident have been working in the Huanyi room, they get along well, and they can find some ways after a long time, and they are often inseparable, it is inevitable that they are a little arrogant, and they always have to bully when they encounter good bullies, and they are happy to do it. ”
Hearing this, Ling Lan was puzzled: "Could it be that the person in charge of affairs let them do this nonsense?" ”
Hu Yang pursed his lips: "The two of them will come to make trouble and make people very happy, so they just turn a blind eye, and no one cares if it's not too much." ”
Ling Lan nodded thoughtfully: "What about after that?" You continue. ”
Hu Yang subconsciously looked left and right, and made sure that no one could hear it, so he lowered his tone: "Once when I went to the Huanyi room to pick up objects at night, I overheard the sound of men and women talking in a low voice!" There is a clear rule in the house that fornication is not allowed, once it is discovered, the consequences are very serious, the little one can't help but be curious and cautiously approach, and the shadow sees a tall and thin man walking away, and then I see the two of them arguing, it seems that it is because of the man who left, listening to it as if the two of them liked the same person, that is, the man, and something happened soon after. ”
Emotional disputes? In this way, there is a mysterious man, who has just been here for more than two months, and it is not easy to know this.
In the silence, Ling Lan sorted out her thoughts, and there was a transparent line that invisibly connected everything.
After a while, let this person go out, and wait for the second person outside to come in, the simple and repetitive inquiries gradually became boring, but fortunately, Ling Lan's mentality was maintained well, so it was Lin Qi's turn to ask one by one.
Although the other party is a subordinate of the house, he is a gentle and elegant type, with a moderate smile on the corner of his mouth, a straight posture, a soft voice, and an elegant temperament in his gestures.
If the other party is a friend of the fourth prince, Ling Lan thinks it is also possible, because the other party does not look like a subordinate at all in terms of speech and demeanor.
Between you and me, Ling Lan gradually had an idea, this person is indeed a gentle son, and he also belongs to the central air conditioning, and the gentleness and kindness of men are not to a certain person, but to everyone, to be precise, all women.
"You said that you live in Lihua Village, which is thirty miles away from the capital?" Ling Lan asked thoughtfully.
"Miss Ling is right, it's Pear Flower Village."
Ling Lan nodded slightly: "Then who else is in your family?" ”
"I have my father and mother, and I have two sisters and a younger sister, all of whom live in the village."
"Then why are you here to do something?"
Speaking of this, Lin Qi chuckled, his eyes shining as if he could speak.
"It's not a secret, the little one who read books for a few years wanted to enter Beijing to gain fame, but there was a sudden change in his family, so the little one gave up the exam and came to the capital just to meet the Four Kings Mansion recruitment..."
It turned out that the other party had read the book, no wonder.
Chatting about homely things, Ling Lan gradually changed the subject, asking him if he was familiar with the three maidservants who were killed.
Lin Qi's reaction was different from others, he did not hesitate and shook his head directly, saying that he had just entered the mansion for more than two months and still couldn't recognize everyone, and he didn't meet and rarely spoke on weekdays.
If you haven't talked to anyone else, you might be able to believe him, because his tone is smooth and serious.
Ling Lan lowered her eyes, thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's not too early, let's go back first!" ”
Lin Qi agreed and got up, and bowed back respectfully.
As soon as the other party left with his front foot, Ling Lan was about to come to Lin Qi's record and strode out.
Lin Qi must have confessed like this during the last interrogation in the Criminal Department, at that time, he only wanted to monitor him, but ignored whether the other party's background was consistent with what he said, whether it was true or not.
When she found Mo Ziyu, the other party had just been idle, and she immediately handed over the paper in her hand.
"Let someone investigate Lihua Village and determine what other family members Lin Qi has? Be sure to go with the portrait, because his name may not be true. ”
"Don't panic, there will be results soon." Mo Ziyu said lightly.
Ling Lan was surprised: "It's already checking?" ”
The man nodded slightly: "Since there is a problem, it is natural to find out, especially at this stage." ”
That's okay, it will be very fast, and it won't take that long.
Thinking about it, Ling Lan muttered in a low voice: "Except for him, these handmaidens who had an accident are not fuel-efficient lamps, and their interpersonal relationships are obviously more complicated than what they knew before." ”
"Later, let Steward Zhou call the housekeeper's grandmother over to inquire." Mo Ziyu made a decision.
