Chapter 38 Li Yuanwai, Why Do You Want to Cover Up the Murderer?
Han Qi looked sideways at Ye Qing, and deliberately didn't ask Ye Qing's name all the way just now.
At this time, he asked, "By the way, I don't know what you call you, little brother?" ”
"Oh oh, oh, I was negligent, please forgive Steward Han." Ye Qing's face was full of shame, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "So that Steward Han knows, the kid's name is Ye Qing." ”
Hee-hee~
A slight coquettish smile came from among the maidservants.
They looked handsome, looked at the gentle man, they were stupid, silly and cute, don't laugh out loud.
"Qing Xiaolang, just ask." Han Qi smiled slightly, and lowered his guard against Ye Qing a little more in his heart.
Ye Qing nodded quickly, took a few steps forward, and faced the many delicate maids who looked at him curiously, and asked with some restraint:
"That, which girl is Dongmei, the servant girl of Li Zhuoran's son? Who is Miss Lee Cheuk-yi's maidservant Qiu Xiang? ”
"I've seen Ye Gongzi, the slave is Dongmei, but the slave serves Miss Zhuoyi." A baby-faced handmaiden, with a big grin, stepped forward.
"The slave is Qiu Xiang, and the one who serves is my son-in-law!"
Qiu Xiang had a cold temperament, looked at the younger and older, and stood beside Dongmei with a melancholy expression.
Ye Qing blushed and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I remembered wrong." ”
At the same time, he looked at Han Qi very worriedly.
After getting the latter a gesture of no hindrance.
Ye Qing turned around at this time.
deliberately misremembering the master served by the two maidservants, making Han Qi, who was standing behind Ye Qing, a little less vigilant in his heart.
After being kicked by the old man with anger, he walked so far that he felt a faint pain in his waist, so he sat down on the stone chair in the courtyard.
casually summoned a servant girl, asked her to rub her shoulders for herself, and calmly commented on Ye Qing.
Seeing the two main masters coming out, Ye Qing opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Dongmei, when did your young lady finish her meal and when did she go back to the house to rest?" Have you ever been with you? ”
While speaking, Ye Qing took out Wang Liu's booklet specially used for recording, took out the short brush he was holding in between, and directly put Mao Feng into his mouth and licked it, after wetting it, a piece of black was left on the tongue coating, and the pen was hung on the booklet, ready to record.
Speaking of business, the corners of Dongmei's raised mouth bent, her eyes instantly hazy, and she said in a trembling voice:
"My young lady ran out of food at the end of the day, and said that she would go out for a walk and let the slave make a bed for her and go to bed, but the slave didn't follow."
"Miss seems to have come back at about two o'clock, and the slave began to cook white fungus lotus seed soup in the side room when Miss left, and Miss will drink it every night before going to bed, and it takes about two minutes to cook."
"As soon as the slave was cooked, he heard the movement, and when he knocked on the door of the lady's house, the light went out, and the lady said that he wanted to rest, and the slave went back to the side room."
Ye Qing's heart moved, and he wrote down two items in his heart.
First, you have to drink white fungus lotus seed soup every night, and if you don't drink it, you can turn off the lights and rest.
Second, Dongmei did not see Li Zhuoyi who returned to the room.
At the same time, things that I didn't care about before came to mind.
Suppressing doubts, Ye Qing repeated Dongmei's words one by one, and recorded them in the booklet.
Seeing this, Han Qi, who was staring from afar, became less vigilant again, but he still stared seriously.
Then Ye Qing looked at Qiu Xiang, only to see that between her melancholy eyebrows, there was a trace of panic when she met Ye Qing's clear gaze.
Ye Qing's heart moved again, and he asked casually, "Miss Qiuxiang, when did Miss Li enter your son-in-law's room?" Are you accompanied? Do you know what they talked about? And when did Miss Lee leave? ”
A series of questions, Qiu Xiang's eyes appeared in a panic, and she hurriedly replied:
"I arrived around the hour, I didn't remember the specific time, and I left not long after that."
Qiu Xiang, who paused for a moment, thought for a while, raised her sleeve to wipe the mist in her eyes, and continued to choke up:
"The young lady said that she wanted to discuss some things with her son, so the slave left the room to avoid suspicion, and carried a lantern to prune the flowers and plants in the yard."
"Later, when the young lady left, the slave didn't see it, but he knew that when he went back after being busy, the lights had been turned off in the child's house."
Ye Qing nodded and chuckled in his heart: "The unreasonable place is too obvious. ”
"According to what Wang Liu said, Liu Weikang is a master of investigating cases, and he must understand."
"I think it was Liu Weikang who wanted to continue the investigation, and Li Yuanwai stuffed the money so that the case was hastily closed."
"This murder case is simple, but the difficult thing is to find the real murderer."
Thinking like this in his heart, Ye Qing continued to ask, "When did you hear the screams and enter the house to find that the young lady had killed your son-in-law?" ”
Qiu Xiang didn't think about it, and replied directly: "At the second moment of the second hour, there was a scream from the young lady's room, and when the slave entered the room to check, the young man had already died. ”
Ye Qing, who sneered in his heart, looked at Qiu Xiang's sad expression, and asked while recording: "Are you sure it's this time, no mistake?" ”
Qiu Xiang, who wiped her tears, looked panicked, subconsciously looked behind Ye Qing, and said, "The slave remembers clearly." ”
Ye Qing, who didn't open his mouth to ask, recorded everything in the booklet, and was just about to ask again, when he noticed a figure appearing behind him.
Han Qi didn't know when he appeared behind Ye Qing and saw the content of his record clearly.
Ye Qing, who noticed that there was an extra person behind him, hurriedly turned around, presented the booklet, and said worriedly: "Steward Han, do you see that there is a problem with what I recorded?" ”
"No, no, I'm just curious." Han Qi waved his hand and said with interest: "I just haven't seen the torture room investigating the case, so I'm curious to take a look." ”
Having said that, Han Qi, who had finished waving his hand, naturally took the booklet and flipped through it.
After realizing that what Ye Qing recorded was exactly the same as what the two maidservants said, he returned the booklet and motioned for Ye Qing to continue.
Ye Qing then asked the other maidservants if they had seen Li Zhuoyi during this time, and they all said no.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ye Qing, who clearly noticed Han Qi's relaxed expression beside him, asked in a speech, "Are all the maidservants in the house here?" ”
The question was to ask all the maidservants in front of them, but everyone was silent and subconsciously lowered their heads.
Especially Dongmei, who lowered her head, clenched her calloused hands.
Han Qi frowned, and then said with a smile: "The eighteen maidservants in the mansion are all here. ”
Hearing this, Ye Qing bowed his head and pretended to be relaxed: "It's good to be here, otherwise you have to walk for a long time to ask, this house is really too big." ”
Seeing that Ye Qing didn't look like a fake, Han Qi's smile instantly brightened.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Qing Xiaolang, who else do you want to ask?" ”
Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "By the way, in addition to recording the confessions of the maidservants, the previous file also recorded the confessions of the servants. ”
"Butler Han took me to meet the servants, and this matter should be over."
Han Qi, who was smiling even more, turned sideways directly and made a gesture of please.
"It's not troublesome, but it's troublesome Qing Xiaolang, please come here."
"Thank you, Steward Han."
Ye Qingcheng clenched his fists in fear and bowed down, and followed Han Qi out of the courtyard where the maidservant was.
In less than half an hour, the two appeared in the courtyard full of old men.
After some inquiry, Ye Qing, who had no gain, followed Han Qi back to the main hall.
Wang Liu drank too much tea and went to the toilet to solve physiological problems.
Li Jiaxu, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Han Qi.
After getting the indication of his chin, Li Jiaxu, who was full of haggardness, greeted:
"Ye Qing, thank you for your hard work."
Ye Qing hurriedly waved his hand and handed over the booklet.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, Li Yuanwai looks at this and remembers, is there a problem?"
Li Jiaxu, who was moved in his heart and stretched out his hand, withdrew his hand again.
He sat upright and said with a smile:
"I won't look at it outside of my own staff, just ask the little brother and remember everything clearly."
Ye Qing, who was gentle and smiling, put away the booklet and stuffed it into his arms, straightened his waist, and said indifferently: "I have asked clearly and remembered clearly." ”
"So, the kid dares to ask, Li Yuanwai, why do you want to shield the real murderer, and even frame your own flesh and blood Li Zhuoyi Miss Li?"
