Chapter 97: Evidence
Li Qingyi's mind came to mind the night when the ice porridge had just been spilled on the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I have already thought of the other party's method of poisoning, but this person is not quite sure who it is." Let's go to Wei Xueying's yard and have a look. ”
Wei Xueying died at a young age and could not stop in the mansion, so she should have been buried immediately after the ceremony.
But when it comes to the murder, everyone is still discussing how to deal with Wei Xueying's body.
After all, the summer is hot and cannot be stored for a long time.
When Li Qingyi walked into the courtyard, Aunt Jiang was standing beside the ink-colored coffin in despair, and several maidservants knelt on the side and wept sadly, among which the two big girls beside Wei Xueying, Xiao Tao Xiaohuan, were crying especially badly.
"Aunt Jiang's Day mourns."
When everyone heard the sound, they all looked up at the door, and when they saw that it was Li Qingyi, they immediately showed a frightened look.
Hatred gradually condensed in Aunt Jiang's godless eyes, and she said coldly: "You still dare to come here?" ”
Li Qingyi didn't care at all about this kind of painless verbal attack.
But there's no need for her to give a nice face to someone who doesn't respect her.
She looked at Aunt Jiang and said, "If you think that I am the murderer, you must come up with evidence, otherwise, please put away this face." If you want to avenge your daughter, you have to have a long brain, otherwise, you will only make the enemy applaud. ”
Aunt Jiang trembled with anger.
Li Qingyi ignored her and walked directly inside.
The purpose is not Wei Xueying's boudoir, but the subordinate room on one side.
Everyone was stunned, Aunt Jiang frowned, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Li Qingyi heard Aunt Jiang's question, and she didn't answer, but only glanced back at Xiao Tao Xiaohuan.
"Xiaohuan, which one is yours?"
Xiaohuan's face was extremely bad, he stretched out his finger and pointed sneeringly, then hurriedly got up and ran over, opened the door and led Li Qingyi in. "Is Miss Li suspicious of slaves?"
Li Qingyi looked at her expression and said, "With your expression, do you think I'm going to find you as a substitute for the dead ghost?" ”
Xiaohuan's face changed greatly, and he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying, "The slave didn't mean that, please forgive Miss Li." ”
Li Qingyi said: "Don't worry, since I am here, I am naturally sure to find evidence." Since evidence can be found, there is no need to find a substitute for the dead. If the murderer wasn't you, you'd be fine. ”
"Can you find evidence?" Aunt Jiang suspiciously followed her into Xiaohuan's house and asked.
Li Qingyi replied while looking around: "As soon as someone chewed the root of her tongue in Xue Ying's sister's ear, the murderer arranged a drama of planting blame. At the same time, he can accurately grasp the mentality of Sister Xue Ying, this person must be someone who is very familiar with her and can know her every move. ”
Aunt Jiang thought about it, looked at the servant girls around her, but still sneered: "You don't have to be tricky, I won't believe you until you find evidence!" ”
"Don't worry, I naturally have a way to find the murderer and use the remaining poisonous spiders!"
"The rest?!" Aunt Jiang was shocked: "What do you mean, there are still that kind of things in this yard?" ”
Li Qingyi looked back at her, her eyes followed Aunt Jiang's haggard face and looked out of the room intentionally or unintentionally, and she saw a trace of panic flashing on Xiao Tao's face.
She smiled, "Let's go to Xiao Tao's room again." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Tao also hurriedly got up and followed, her room was not much different from Xiao Huan.
As a first-class girl next to Wei Xueying, the treatment is naturally better than that of other subordinates.
Although there are no particularly valuable things, there is no shortage of things that should be there, and there are a few delicate small objects scattered here.
On the small table under the flower window, a half-dried pink peony flower, with a few petals and leaves scattered, mixed with the wax oil dripping from the candlestick on the side, actually has some messy beauty.
Xiao Tao looked sad and said: "The slave and maid have been afraid of the dark since they were children, and the girl feels sorry for the slave and maid, and usually allows the slave and maid to use a few more candles, and this candlestick is also rewarded by the four girls." ”
Everyone else seemed to know about it, and they didn't show anything unusual.
Li Qingyi glanced at Xiao Tao, picked up the candlestick and looked at it carefully, and chuckled: "Xiao Tao, do you know where you have exposed your flaws?" ”
The people around were shocked when they heard this, and Aunt Jiang turned her head to look at Xiao Tao suddenly.
Xiao Tao seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Auntie, Miss Li, how can you be a slave maid......
Mrs. Wei and the others hurried over when they got the news, and they just happened to see this scene when they entered the door.
But Li Qingyi didn't explain much, nor did he listen to Xiao Tao's argument, he took out a dagger from his sleeve and squeezed it in his hand.
Immediately, the two red candlesticks on the candlestick broke in two.
Others didn't understand what was going on, but Xiao Tao was stunned, and fine cold sweat suddenly oozed from her forehead.
Li Qingyi looked at her condescendingly and said, "When Xue Ying fell to the ground with poisonous hair last night, your first reaction was not to help her, but to turn around and run out, for what?" There must be two reasons, one is that you want to publicize this matter and make a big fuss, and the other is that you are afraid that I will kill you in a fit of anger, right? In contrast, the rings react much more than you normally would. ”
Xiao Tao's face turned pale, and she didn't seem to think that Li Qingyi's mind was so delicate.
She argued: "It is indeed wrong for the slave and maid to leave the master, but the slave and maid are just frightened and ran out in a panic, which does not mean that the slave and the maid are the murderers...... The slave doesn't know what's going on with the inside of this candle, someone must have framed the slave and maid......"
"Oh? Is there something in the candle? Aunt Jiang, did you see the contents of the candle? ”
When Xiao Tao heard her rhetorical question, she suddenly froze in place with her mouth open.
Aunt Jiang looked at the broken candle suspiciously, but saw nothing.
So she stepped forward and looked down at the fracture carefully.
Then everyone noticed that Aunt Jiang's face suddenly turned an unusually terrifying pale.
It was as if I had seen something terrible.
She gasped and jerked back.
knocked the maidservants behind her and almost fell!
Old Madam Wei and the others all looked at Aunt Jiang suspiciously, but Aunt Jiang didn't care about answering, and stammered: "This, what is this!" ”
The dense transparent dots made her scalp explode.
Li Qingyi looked at Xiao Tao and said, "Xiao Tao, what is this?" ”
The cold sweat on Xiao Tao's forehead became more and more, flowing down her cheeks and mixing with the fat powder on her face, looking very embarrassed.
If she could still quibble that this candle was planted by Li Qingyi before, but she took the initiative to say it herself, there would be no room for justification.
She tensed, gritted her teeth and glanced at Li Qingyi, and suddenly closed her eyes.
Just as she was about to bite the mouth poisoning pill, someone suddenly pinched her chin!
Chang Yan sneered and took out the poison pill hidden under her tongue and motioned to everyone: "She wants to kill herself!" ”
If you didn't do something wrong, why did you kill yourself?
The third lady looked at Xiao Tao in surprise and wondered, "Is it Xiao Tao?" ”
Xiao Tao knew that he was exposed, and the poison pill was taken away again, and he shrank aside without saying a word.
Old Madam Wei glanced at her coldly, turned her head to look at Li Qingyi, and asked, "Qingyi, you explain the matter carefully from beginning to end." ”
Li Qingyi picked up a severed candle and motioned to everyone.
"In this, countless red-backed wolf Zhu, don't doubt it, they are all alive."
The people around him approached and saw the dense red dots, and their hairs stood on end.
Rao is county lord of Yuanheng was never shocked in front of everyone, and he couldn't help but stroke his arm and said in horror: "These are red-backed tarantulas? Is it alive? ”
