Chapter 176: And Accomplices
Lin Qi smiled bitterly: "I'm ashamed, I was really happy after the shock, I thought it was a priceless jewel, and it was very difficult to climb up the stone wall after being excited, because the wall was wet and slippery, and I couldn't climb up at all."
Later, I had a plan, found a wooden pole and found a suitable big stone to climb up little by little, and after several attempts, I finally came across the shining luminite, hit it with the wooden pole hard, and finally dropped one after a long time.
After carefully putting it away, I took the rabbit back, and a few days later I found an opportunity to go to the pawnshop and inquire, but it turned out that the night stone was not worth anything at all. ”
In the end, his tone was full of disappointment.
Ling Lan couldn't help but think, if those night stones were really priceless treasures, would the murder not happen later?
After all, poverty and food are two different mentalities.
Obviously different from her thoughts, Mo Ziyu listened carefully and asked in a deep voice, "Where did that nightstone go?" ”
While hearing this question, Ling Lan thought of the night stone on the top of the stone forest in the Four Kings' Mansion, could it be possible?
As soon as his thoughts flashed, he heard Lin Qi's dull voice: "Throw it away, it took a lot of effort and it turned out to be worthless, and I was annoyed to look at it." ”
"Where did you throw it?"
As if he didn't understand Mo Ziyu's relentless questioning, Lin Qi lowered his head and muttered: "At the door of the pawnshop, I came out and threw it away." ”
Mo Ziyu frowned slightly, and looked sideways at Ling Lan.
"It's not early, you go back to rest first, and ask other questions tomorrow."
Ling Lan vaguely guessed the other party's thoughts, if it was right, the man wanted to find the night stone.
"Okay." Ling Lan replied softly.
Tonight's night sky was cloudy and sunny, at this time, the clouds dispersed, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, Ling Lan deliberately rubbed outside for a while, and sure enough, it was the same as imagined, and it didn't take long for Tianyi to come out with Lin Qi.
"Miss Ling." Tianyi slowed down.
"Get busy! I'll go back. She replied lightly and didn't ask more.
Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party asked, he didn't know how to explain.
Seeing that several people quickly disappeared in the night, Ling Lan knew that this matter was relatively sensitive. sense, it is also more troublesome to involve problems, so Mo Ziyu has the intention to avoid her, which is also a good thing for her.
Slowly retracting his thoughts and was about to go back, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and Ye Feng's voice followed.
"Miss Ling, Xiaohe is clamoring to see you, she is very emotional, saying that she has an important secret to tell you."
The big secret?
Could it be that the other party is ready to tell the thing that was pressed in his heart about killing Yuqing?
But this is not a secret to Ling Lan...
"My subordinates also feel that the hour is very late, so it is better for you to go back and rest first." Ye Feng came to the vicinity and gasped slightly.
Ling Lan chuckled: "You're curious about her secret, aren't you?" ”
Ye Feng raised his hand and scratched his head, and smiled slightly embarrassedly: "It's a little, it should be related to the case, but it's not in a hurry, you must be tired and will talk about it tomorrow." ”
Ling Lan pursed her lips: "I can't sleep well until now, let's go!" ”
Ye Feng wanted to speak and stopped, secretly praying in his heart that the adults would not know, otherwise his situation would be worrying!
But he did want to know...
Inside the room, the light of the kerosene lamp was a little faint, and seeing Ye Feng approaching the kerosene lamp, Ling Lan waved: "That's just right." ”
It's not as comfortable as being so soft and dazzling when it lights up.
"Miss Ling, the slave is puzzled, what did you mean by what you said before?" Xiaohe couldn't help but ask, and was very cautious.
Ling Lan took a few steps out to find a chair and sat down, a faint pain in the wound on her right palm.
"I've said a lot before, I don't know which one you're referring to?"
Xiaohe bit her lower lip and looked hesitant: "That's it, Yuqing also has an older brother, you also said, did you find that Yuqing is similar to Brother Qi." ”
Ling Lan raised her eyes to look over, under the faint candlelight, the other party's face was pale, his eyes were red and swollen, his hair was messy, and he was extremely haggard.
"Do you think about it, are there any similarities between them?"
Xiaohe's eyes widened slightly: "Miss Ling, you, why do you ask that?" The slave was really puzzled. ”
"Actually, you must have a guess in your heart, but you just don't want to believe it! The reason for the similarity is very simple, because Lin Qi is the elder brother in Yuqing's mouth, and they are brother and sister, so they will naturally have similarities. ”
Ling Lan's words echoed in Xiao He's ears, lasting for a long time, especially that sentence, Lin Qi was Yuqing's brother, which exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt.
After a few breaths, she looked around in despair, and said in her mouth: "No, impossible, absolutely impossible, this is not true, how can it be?" It won't..."
At this time, Ling Lan patiently waited for the other party to calm down, but Ye Feng not far away was anxious, if it wasn't for the forbearance, he would have spoken a long time ago, Xiaohe said before that there was an important secret report, so he tossed Miss Ling over so late, but what were you talking about at this time?
After a while, Xiaohe suddenly raised his head and whispered: "Miss Ling, the slave maid knows that she shouldn't run away with the seventh brother, she shouldn't break the rules of the Four Princes' Mansion, the slave and maid really know that it's wrong, please don't deceive the slave maid." ”
This time, Ye Feng couldn't help it, and glared angrily: "Presumptuous! What kind of person is Miss Ling, how could she lie and lie to you? It's you who are obsessed and don't accept the reality, Lin Qi has already truthfully explained, he is not only Yuqing's brother, but also the murderer of the Serial Cases of the Four Princes' Mansion. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao He's face was like earth, his body couldn't stop shaking, his face went from sluggish to tears like rain, and the whole person was like a dilapidated doll...
The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull and depressing, Ling Lan was not speaking, Ye Feng realized that he seemed to be talking too much, he carefully watched Miss Ling's reaction.
Sensing the gaze, Ling Lan raised her eyes to meet Ye Feng's uneasy eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose and she smiled.
Ye Feng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and all the nonsense in his mind disappeared.
After a while, Ling Lan slowly got up and strolled towards Xiaohe: "The secret you want to tell is that you accidentally killed Yuqing?" ”
Xiaohe turned her head to look at her in a daze, as if she had lost her soul, her face was expressionless, and her eyes were blank.
Ling Lan let out a light sigh, unintentional mistakes are also passes, especially if they don't save them when they see death, they are not unintentional.
"Lin Qi, is it really a murderer? Did he kill Xiaolian? Xiaohe seemed to wake up like a dream, and her voice was extremely hoarse.
Ling Lan nodded silently.
Seeing this, she instantly sat up straight, and extremely complicated emotions appeared in her eyes: "Then tonight, he is preparing to kill me, right?" ”
It's not easy to finally wake up.
It was no different to say more, Ling Lan nodded again.
Xiaohe took a few deep breaths, and her emotions gradually calmed down instead of getting worse.
"It turned out to be him, I didn't expect him to hide so deeply and coax all of us, Miss Ling, don't let him and his accomplices go..."
