In the early morning of the next day, scholar Ah Sheng was taken to the criminal department, and the other party looked haggard and his eyes were blank, and he looked decadent.

"Do you know what I brought you back for?" Ling Lan said tentatively.

Ah Sheng first shook his head, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Didn't Master Lin report to the official and say that he would elope with Rui'er again?" ”

Ling Lan and Mo Ziyu glanced at each other, it seemed that the other party didn't know that Rui'er had an accident, since this was the case, the other party should be at home, why did the Lin Mansion say that no one could be found?

Thinking about it, she still whispered: "Are you really going to elope with Rui'er?" ”

Raising his eyes and glancing at her, Ah Sheng's eyes were filled with grief and despair.

"What's the use of talking about that now? Rui'er must have been locked up by the Lin family, otherwise she would have gone to me a long time ago, and the Lin family is powerful and powerful, so of course they will not let me go. ”

Mo Ziyu frowned slightly: "In other words, you just have this idea, and you haven't made a decision yet?" ”

Ah Sheng sneered, his shoulders shrugged: "The Lin family is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, they all bully Rui'er, because Rui'er's mother has passed away and is helpless, and she doesn't treat her as a young lady at all, and the maid is almost the same, if she doesn't bear so many grievances, how can Rui'er want to escape?" Now that it's over, Master Lin must have taken a close eye on her, and he won't let her have a chance to leave at all, let alone let her see me again. ”

In the end, Ah Sheng was almost talking to himself, his voice was low and inaudible, his eyes in the black sockets were red, and there were faint tears flashing.

Mo Ziyu raised his hand and knocked on the table: "Spirit point, I didn't bring you here today because of this incident." ”

Ah Sheng was stunned, and looked at him in confusion, his eyes full of puzzlement: "Why is that?" ”

"When was the last time you saw Lin Rui?" Mo Ziyu did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Three days ago in the evening, she took the opportunity to go out to come to me, crying that she had a bad premonition, and was going to secretly leave after discussing it with her family." Ah Sheng responded without thinking.

Counting the time, Lin Rui and Ah Sheng quarreled with their family the next day after they met, and they secretly went out of the house and their whereabouts were unknown, and finally had an accident.

According to Lin Rui's state at that time, he should have gone to find Ah Sheng as soon as he left the house, could it be that he encountered an accident on the way?

According to Lin's previous statement, there were no missing items in Lin Rui's room, which means that the other party left alone without a package, and it was also a little strange to find that there were no other items near Lin Rui's body.

In other words, at that time, Lin Rui did not decide to elope, but simply ran out of the house, so he did not bring a soft one.

After thinking about it, no matter what, Lin Rui should go to Ah Sheng, there is no reason to go to other places.

seemed to realize that something was wrong, and after a short silence, Ah Sheng asked if something had happened to Lin Rui.

Mo Ziyu didn't hide it, and told the other party the truth bluntly.

When he learned that Lin Rui had an accident, Ah Sheng's expression froze, he was dumbfounded, hot tears overflowed from his eyes, his face became more and more pale, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

"No, it's impossible, it's impossible, Rui'er, how could Rui'er..."

Mo Ziyu muttered something Ling Lan didn't hear clearly, and called him to hurry over and let people lie flat on the ground, and then she pressed Ah Sheng's people, but Ah Sheng didn't respond after a few times.

"My lord, do you want to invite the doctor over?" Ye Feng asked in a low voice.

Mo Ziyu shook his head slightly, he found that Ling Lan had already taken out the cloth bag containing the silver needle from his arms, and he knew the guidelines and methods, which he knew in his heart.

After disinfection, the silver was aimed at Ah Sheng's middle acupoint, Ling Lan's fingers were very sensitive, and a silver flash of silver needles had been steadily pierced into it...

After a while, Ah Sheng woke up slowly, but his face was expressionless, and his two eyes looked straight ahead, as if he had lost his soul!

In the face of the heavy blow of great joy and sorrow, everyone's reaction is different, some people will cry and laugh after being stimulated, and they will be irritable and throw things, taciturn or insane, etc., and now Ah Sheng is one of them, choosing to escape, unwilling to accept reality.

Thoughts flashed to her, she put away the silver needle, and sighed lightly: "Don't you want to know how Rui'er happened?" ”

Sure enough, this sentence made Ah Sheng wake up suddenly, his eyes rolling, and he struggled to sit up from the ground.

"I wondered, what the hell is going on? Did Mrs. Lin beat her to death? ”

Ling Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, could it be that Mrs. Lin often abused Lin Rui? Otherwise, why would the other party say this?

Shaking her head slightly, she slowly stood up: "After Lin Rui had a quarrel with the family on the afternoon of the day before yesterday, she said that she went back to the room to rest, but I don't know when she secretly went out of the house while people were unprepared.

Around noon yesterday, some hunters found a female corpse under the stone cliff of Xishan, scarred and unable to see the appearance of the face, it is speculated that it fell from the stone cliff. fell to death, and later the Lin family heard about it and came to identify the body, and determined that it was Lin Rui. ”

The expression on Ah Sheng's face was very complicated, from the initial anger to confusion, and finally to tears of grief, but fortunately, he quickly suppressed his emotions and choked up: "Xishan, under the stone cliff?" ”

"yes, do you know that place?" Ling Lan asked.

Ah Sheng's movements were a little sluggish, and he shook his head in slow motion: "I don't know, if it came out in the evening, why did she go to the mountains?" No, she should come to me, we have made an appointment to meet as soon as possible to discuss what to do, what is she doing in the mountains alone? ”

In the face of his eager inquiry, Ling Lan knew that he had returned to his normal senses.

However, Ling Ran couldn't answer, because she also wanted to know this question.

At this time, Mo Ziyu took over lightly: "Think about it again, have you ever been to the stone cliff of Xishan together?" ”

Ah Sheng shook his head quickly, very sure no.

Lowering his eyes and thinking about it, Mo Ziyu's words changed: "Then where were you the evening before yesterday?" ”

"The afternoon before yesterday, I went to Zhao Xiaoxiao's house, she was sick for a while and could only lie in bed, I went over to tell her a story when I had time, she listened happily and a little energetic, the child of the family where the accident occurred was also there, a thin little boy couldn't speak, the two of them listened to me tell a story together, because Xiaoxiao's request I told a story more than usual before leaving, and it was very late when I left."

Mo Ziyu seemed to realize something, and suddenly stood up: "Which child had an accident?" ”

"It's the family that killed his wife, it seems to be surnamed Lu, because I don't have much intersection on weekdays, and I'm not sure."

"You live around there, too?" Mo Ziyu frowned, he had seen all the neighbors near Lu Peng, and he had no impression of Ah Sheng.

Ah Sheng nodded first and shook his head quickly, explaining: "It's not very close, it takes about two quarters of an hour to walk." ”

Ling Lan pursed her lips, it was indeed not nearby for more than half an hour, but it was too coincidental.
