Chapter 182: Death Without Proof
Tianyi nodded busily, indicating that yes, he couldn't move at the moment.
After getting the confirmation, Ling Lan signaled to go out first, tonight was cloudy, no stars and no moon and gloomy.
In the courtyard, Ling Lan took the wooden hairpin that Ye Feng had cleaned, and then asked them to go back and get busy.
"Girl, aren't you going back to Ruyi Pavilion?" Ye Feng noticed something and asked softly.
Ling Lan nodded: "Don't go back, if you have something to do with Xiangnian Hall, go to Xiangnian Hall to find me." ”
The night breeze stopped talking, and hesitated to take a few steps forward: "It's not early, my subordinates will send you over." ”
"Okay, let's go!" Ling Lan did not refuse, she had already guessed the other party's careful thoughts.
In this way, Tianyi can rest assured, otherwise he still wants to follow in the dark, after all, it is not safe to be dark.
The situation was really the same as Ling Lan's guess, Ye Feng became a hundred thousand whys again, and many questions were caused from the previous two events, which gave Ling Lan a headache, but fortunately, this section of the road was not long...
In the Xiangnian Hall, Fluttershy and Sister Qiao are still busy in the warehouse, and the three of them have dinner together when Ling Lan returns.
At the dinner table, the questions of the two were one after another, about what Ling Lan had told before, the inquiries became more specific and detailed, and the two understood more thoroughly.
Ling Lan couldn't laugh or cry about this, she found that she also had the talent to be a teacher, at least her patience was okay.
After eating, Ling Lan chuckled: "Don't be too tired, you two should rest early." ”
The two nodded yes very tacitly, and soon they couldn't find a shadow.
Late at night, Ling Lan was not going to the warehouse, but sat alone at the head of the bed to check the wooden hairpin.
This is a peach hairpin, the strange thing is that this hairpin does not have the slightest taste of peach wood, but has a smell, if ordinary people don't smell it carefully, I'm afraid they won't notice it, but Ling Lan's sense of smell has always been sensitive, otherwise they wouldn't be able to smell this smell at the scene full of blood.
She thought about it carefully for a long time, this déjà vu, similar to the smell of geraniums, some people call geraniums stinky hydrangea, which is the durian of the flower and plant world, but it is more or less different.
No matter what, Ling Lan was sure of one thing, the wooden hairpin on the other party's head when she saw Lin Qi before didn't have this special smell.
So what does this mean?
The hairpin encountered a special smell of Xiaohe's blood? No, this is an ordinary mahogany hairpin, but it is a snake shape that looks very delicate.
This hairpin just looks the same as the serpentine hairpin that Lin Qi has tied his hair on, but it's not the hairpin?
At the same time as this thought flashed, her heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, if it wasn't the same wooden hairpin, then it meant that Lin Qi still had accomplices?
Or is it not an accomplice, but someone who helped him fulfill his wish and wanted him to die by the way?
With more strength in her hand, she thought about putting away the wooden hairpin, and she might be able to find an answer if she went somewhere to ask tomorrow.
Although Lin Qi is dead, there is no proof of death, but who is the person who replaced the hairpin is also a serious problem.
————
The next morning, Ling Lan walked into a jewelry shop with a serpentine wooden hairpin, and the ornaments were dazzling, different from many modern materials, there were only three kinds of gold, silver and wood, but they were very delicate and beautiful.
She handed over the serpentine hairpin, attached to it with a heavy amount of silver, and after the master checked it, she quickly concluded that this mahogany hairpin had just been made, and it was new...
It was already noon when she returned to Xiangnian Hall, and her pace was very slow, as leisurely as a walk, because the thoughts in her mind were a little confused, and she always felt that this case should not be over, and there were still many questions.
A moment later, I met Mo Ziyu at the door of Xiangnian Hall, and the people came and went to each other very eye-catching.
For a moment, a thought welled up in Ling Lan's mind, she seemed to have walked through the sea of people to the man's side.
"Where?" Mo Ziyu asked softly.
Ling Lan was amused by her own thoughts, and instead of answering, she asked, "What are you doing at the door?" Didn't anyone open the door for you? ”
Mo Ziyu lowered her eyes and looked at her, her eyebrows and eyes full of tenderness: "I saw you when I just arrived nearby, and I haven't knocked on the door yet." ”
After a pause, the man's tone was a little lower: "Coincidentally, in the endless crowd, I saw you at a glance." ”
Ling Lan was stunned, and her thoughts became uncontrollably complicated.
Back in the backyard house, Ling Lan finally calmed down and quickly handed the wooden hairpin to the other party.
"Last night, Tianyi said that you took this hairpin away." Mo Ziyu whispered and raised her hand to take it.
"Hmmm! If something doesn't feel right, bring it back and see. ”
Mo Ziyu raised it and observed: "Can you see that something is wrong?" ”
"The experienced master said that this is a new hairpin." She replied lightly.
Hearing her words, the man's face instantly became solemn, and it was obvious that he had understood the deep meaning.
After staring at the serpentine hairpin for a while, Mo Ziyu put it away.
"This case is over." His tone was low.
Ling Lan nodded noncommittally, she had already guessed it, it seemed, every time.
She thinks back to some cases from the beginning to the present, on the surface, it seems that the murderer has been found and ended successfully, but in fact, there is always something missing...
Thinking about it, she couldn't stop being irritable, so she simply put aside her thoughts and changed the topic.
"When you have time, you should go and see the crown princess, she was not in good health when we last met."
After a few breaths of silence, Mo Ziyu shook her head slightly: "It doesn't matter, she can take care of herself." ”
Ling Lan looked sideways: "She's really sick, you believe me." ”
Looking at each other, Mo Ziyu's thoughts were a little confused, and he didn't know what to think of and whispered: "You go with me?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, and the other party must not be willing.
However, Ling Lan's reaction was beyond his expectations, and instead of being angry, he chuckled.
"It's okay to go, but I think she just misses you more and doesn't want to see me."
Mo Ziyu wanted to speak and stopped, staring at her for a few breaths, but finally did not speak, and fell into silence.
————
Three days later, the Xiangnian Hall was lit up and officially opened.
Ling Lan's dark circles are very obvious, because she has basically not slept for the past few nights, and as for Fluttershy and Sister Qiao, they are not much better, but everyone is in excellent spirits.
The candlelight in the room is bright, the decoration is unique, and the goods are neatly placed, which makes people look at it and make people shine and refresh, so from the beginning of the business, there is an endless stream of customers, not all buy goods, but will watch and sigh.
In addition to Fluttershy and Qiao, there are four teenage girls, all six of whom are busy in the store in the same costumes, stumbling and stumbling at first, but becoming more skilled and less scrambling over time.
Ling Lan wore a long navy blue dress and a veil, standing aside to look at the overall situation, she was full of patience, only came forward to help with problems that others couldn't solve, and received customers like a doorman the rest of the time.
Approaching noon, a familiar voice suddenly came into her ears, and Ling Lan turned around to look at the person who came, but it was not surprising.
