Chapter 199: Stepmother is very mean
Ling Lan lost her mind slightly, staring at something as if she was thinking about something, and after a few breaths, she slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Jiu.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly."
Xiao Jiu was obviously not used to her politeness, and quickly shook his head to say that it didn't matter, and repeated his previous words.
"Miss wanted to see the master that day, but the master went out and never came back... Only then did I realize that the young lady was gone. ”
From beginning to end, these words were not a word, Ling Lan pursed her lips, and her fingertips swiped slightly on the table.
Thoughts flashed and she raised her eyes to look over: "Xiao Jiu, what do you young ladies do in the mansion on weekdays?" ”
Xiao Jiu involuntarily grabbed the corner of his clothes with his hand: "The slave doesn't understand what you mean?" ”
"That is to say, what does Lin Rui do in the mansion every day? Learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting or do something else? ”
After staring at her for a few seconds, Xiao Jiu's eyes quickly looked away from puzzled to flustered: "Miss likes to read very much on weekdays, and she often sits in front of the window for a long time. ”
"Reading a book?" Ling Lan was surprised, there wasn't even a bookshelf in this room, let alone books.
As if seeing her doubts, Xiao Jiu explained softly: "Yes, after Miss's accident, Mrs. saw things and thought about people, thinking that Miss loved those books the most, so she burned all the books in the house." ”
Ling Lan thought thoughtfully: "When is it?" ”
This time, Xiao Jiu recalled it seriously, and his eyes obviously rolled to the upper left.
"Just after the lord and his wife came back from the criminal department, they burned the books very sadly."
"What else is burned besides the books in this room?" Ling Lan continued to ask tentatively.
"There's a lot of paper money." Xiao Jiu responded without hesitation.
It's just paper money, what are the books in Lin Rui's house burning in a hurry? Ling Lan felt that there was something wrong with it.
"I heard that your young lady was not born to Madame, right?"
This question made Xiao Jiu's eyes red, and he bit his lower lip to say that it was right, and said that Lin Rui had a hard life, and his biological mother died at a young age.
As she spoke, her tears couldn't stop falling, and she raised her hand to wipe it and glanced at Ling Lan cautiously, and soon changed her words: "Fortunately, Madame is kind-hearted, kind and kind, although Miss is not her own child, she treats it as her own, and she has taken care of her since she was a child, and the relationship between the two is very good, and Miss often says that she is very lucky." ”
Scold!
Ling Lan nodded slightly: "Listening to you, Mrs. Lin is very good to Lin Rui." ”
Xiao Jiu echoed and said a few more words, and his mental state gradually relaxed invisibly.
"Then before Ah Sheng, did your young lady have a sweetheart?"
Xiao Jiu was stunned for a few breaths before shaking his head: "Our young lady just arrived at Lu, I haven't thought about these things before, it was the poor scholar named Ah Sheng who killed the young lady, if it weren't for him, the young lady would be fine!" In the end, she couldn't stop crying.
After a while, Ling Lan was very sure that the little maid in front of her was full of nonsense, and few of them were true.
When she was considering whether to hypnotize the other party, Ye Feng suddenly entered the door with a normal look on his face, and walked behind her as if nothing had happened.
That is, in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Lin also strode into the door, and was surprised for a moment when she saw Ye Feng, although she quickly returned to normal, her face was a little gloomy.
Ling Lan remembered Xiao Jiu's appearance and motioned for her to go back, and said a few kind words to Mrs. Lin before leaving.
However, Mrs. Lin didn't buy it, and when she saw her standing up, she said quietly: "Miss Ling, you said before, we will talk about it when you finish reading Rui'er's residence, can you talk about it now?" ”
"Of course." Ling Lan responded, motioning for her to continue.
Out of the corner of her eye, Mrs. Lin glanced at Ye Feng beside her, and said in a low voice, "Ah Sheng is the murderer who killed Rui'er, but you say no, so may I ask, who is the murderer if he is not Ah Sheng?" ”
Ling Lan shook her head helplessly: "The investigation is currently underway, and I believe that it won't be long before Lord Mo can find out the real murderer." ”
Mrs. Lin frowned in displeasure: "I really can't understand, why don't you believe that Ah Sheng is innocent without other murderers?" Could it be that he really gave you great benefits? Let you favor him like this? ”
Before Ling Lan could speak, Ye Feng had already taken two steps forward, and his tone was cold and a little chilly: "Mrs. Lin, you are also the head of the house, don't you know that you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense about this truth?" I was too sad to read your lost daughter in the Criminal Department before, so I didn't care about you, but it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want and spew blood. ”
On weekdays, I teach other people like this, when did I get this kind of anger, especially Ye Feng is guard is not a big official position, for a while, Mrs. Lin's eyes turned blue with angry eyes.
Ling Lan looked at it with interest, she was waiting for her to continue to have a seizure or make a fuss, but she didn't want her anger to be suppressed by the other party little by little and gradually subsided, this is really interesting, it seems that Ye Feng had an adventure outside just now!
After barely suppressing it, Mrs. Lin's voice was muffled: "Then when can we bring Rui'er back?" ”
Ling Lan pursed her lips, the other party was really tired of going around and around for these two things.
"Once you find the murderer and solve the case, you can do it."
Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth, and took two steps back as she wanted to speak.
"Okay!"
————
After returning to the Criminal Department, Ling Lan asked Ye Feng to tell him about the situation, whether he had found something outside, otherwise Mrs. Lin was very jealous of his appearance.
Ye Feng smiled triumphantly at this, and soon became annoyed again: "I heard a few subordinates talking about Lin Rui's accident, from their words, Lin Rui was very tortured in the house, and there was endless work every day, Mrs. Lin was quite mean to her, and when she opened her mouth, she scolded and raised her hand to beat, but it sounds like Master Lin is good and bad to her, what is puzzling is that they say that every time Master Lin treats her well, Mrs. Lin will be even more angry, and her subordinates are puzzled, so Mrs. Lin rushes over to scold those subordinates, so she scolds them all over, Then she turned around and saw her subordinates. ”
Ling Lan couldn't help frowning, something seemed to flash in her mind but she couldn't catch it.
Seeing that she was silent and very serious, Ye Feng was a little weak-hearted, and blamed himself: "It's all because my subordinates were careless at the time, and they only forgot to leave the corner of the wall to be discovered by Mrs. Lin, and it was the subordinates who did not do well." ”
Interrupted by thoughts, Ling Lan raised her eyes and looked over: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about your doubts, it's really incomprehensible." ”
Seeing that she didn't blame and agreed with her own thoughts, Ye Feng couldn't help but be happy: "It's good if you don't get angry, my subordinates think about finding out Lin Rui's situation in the Lin family next." ”
Ling Lan nodded slightly: "Hmm! Besides, I'm going to visit Lin Rui's place tonight. ”
I found that Lin Rui's bed was hollow underneath, and it was very likely that there was something unknown, and she needed to go and figure it out.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that she thinks too much, and the following is empty and tossed in vain.
