Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 136

[Chapter 102 [Three shifts in one] Tonight she and…]

Lin Chengyou quickly glanced left and right, suddenly seemed to see something, turned to find Kuannu, waved at him, waited for Kuannu to come to him, whispered a few words, Kuannu nodded, and mixed with a dozen guards into the crowd middle.

Yan Sizhi discussed with Lin Chengyou in a low voice for a while, then turned around and pointed to the two yamen in uniform, asking them to find a cage immediately, while he got up and was responsible for maintaining the order at the scene.

Lin Chengyou looked down at Wu Zhang again, and suddenly pointed to a large stain on her right elbow: “When did this get stained?”

Wu Yuanluo’s face was already gray, and after hearing this, he looked at his sister’s arm and couldn’t help but feel the same. Startled for a moment, she said sharply to the maid next to her, “Speak!” The

maids shuddered and shook their heads in panic: “I don’t know, but the lady’s clothes are still clean…”

Teng Yuyi looked at the place in fear. , The color is obviously darker than other places, and it looks like something like oily soup has been poured, not to mention Wu Hang herself, the maid would never allow her lady’s clothes to be so dirty.

Therefore, it must have only been a short period of time from the time when the clothes were soiled to the accident at Wu Hang.

Suddenly I remembered the scene outside Jushuangzhai’s window. Lu Zhaoan appeared on the front foot, and Aunt Wu had an accident on the back foot. In addition, Shaotang’s classmate Hu Gongzi, who was suddenly deprived of his soul, couldn’t help but think about Lu Zhaoan. Even if Lin Chengyou had the ability to reach the sky, he couldn’t take care of him, so Teng Yuyi was afraid that Lu Zhaoan would escape in the chaos, so he hurriedly signaled Chang Geng to remind Lin Chengyou.

“The officials of Dali Temple are handling the case here, and they can’t come forward if they don’t serve him.” Yan Sizhi stopped Chang Geng in a good voice.

Lin Chengyou recognized Chang Geng at a glance. Although this guard changed his face, he was always with Teng Yuyi tonight, only when Teng Yuyi was looking for him, he quickly said, “Brother Yan, let him come.”

Chang Geng approached Teng Yuyi just now. Discovery said.

Lin Chengyou looked around, and most of the people who were crowded in the front row to watch the excitement were five big and three thick men. He couldn’t find Teng Yuyi in the crowd for a while, so he could only whisper: “This place is dangerous, take your master back to Jushuangzhai first.”

Chang Geng responded. .

Teng Yuyi was in a hurry to find Ajie and Shaotang, and she was busy coming out of the crowd after hearing the words. She didn’t worry about anything else now, but worried about Ajie and Shaotang’s safety.

Before walking too far, I saw Sister A and Shaotang coming towards each other. There was a handsome man beside A Sister, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance was almost carved out of a saint.

Teng Yuyi was stunned, how could A-jie be with the prince?

The prince’s line apparently heard that something happened here, and his face was a little uneasy. Du Tinglan’s face was pale, and he was looking for something in the crowd while walking.

Gradually getting closer, the prince seemed to have noticed the gazes around him, quietly opened the distance with Du Tinglan, and then quickly walked through the crowd with the people around him, and suddenly saw Wu Zhang on the ground, he was taken aback and walked to Lin Chengyou. He crouched down beside him and asked in a low voice what was going on.

Du Shaotang saw Teng Yuyi in the crowd, and couldn’t help being surprised and happy: “Cousin Yu! We are looking for you.”

Du Tinglan hurriedly approached and grabbed Teng Yuyi’s arm: “What happened over there?

” In the past, the murderer may have been in the crowd.” Teng Yuyi was still full of astonishment, and pulled Du Shaotang and his brother to a place where there were few people, “Sister, why are you with the prince?”

Du Tinglan blushed slightly, and Du Shaotang glanced at Ah. Sister, her expression suddenly became strange.

***

Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi discussed the matter of attracting thieves tonight when they came out in the evening, so when Teng Yuyi used an excuse to buy Sugar Man, Du Tinglan didn’t follow him. He also found an excuse and took his younger brother out of the building.

As soon as the sister and brother arrived outside the door, a servant in the crowd approached silently. Huo Qiu was about to take action against that person, but when he recognized that he was the long follower beside Lin Chengyou, he was stunned. The two brothers invited them to an inconspicuous corner and politely declared their intentions.

He said that he wanted to ask Mrs. Teng about something important, and asked Mrs. Du to help cover up. The shopkeeper of Zhai also said hello in advance, so Mrs. Du doesn’t have to worry about it.

Sister Du Tinglan had dealt with Lin Chengyou several times and knew that this person was Lin Chengyou’s confidant. Even if they were full of doubts, they had to answer.

In order to make it look more natural when they returned, the sister and brother bought some jade-pointed noodles, and returned to Jushuangzhai to distribute them to their classmates. Du Shaotang reluctantly endured for another half an hour. Seeing that there were not many people in the building, he said, ” Sister

, it’s so lively tonight, what’s the point of sitting all the time, let’s go shopping too.”

building.

Du Shaotang became active as soon as he got outside. He placed a wishing lantern by the river, and dragged his sister to hang out. Du Tinglan walked and looked for Teng Yuyi, but unfortunately there was no news until Linshuizhai.

The siblings had no choice but to go back along the same path. Halfway through, they encountered a barbarian who was looking for a scorpion. The barbarian was wearing brocade clothes and red trousers, jumping up and down on a long rope in mid-air, and his dexterous figure was comparable to that of an ape. , Du Shaotang was young and fun-loving, so he immediately became interested, dragged his sister to watch, and happened to have an old woman carrying her grandson out of the crowd and bumped into Du Shaotang head-on.

Du Shaotang took a few steps back in fright.

Du Tinglan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stretched out his arms to support the old woman.

Du Shaotang quickly stabilized his figure: “Old Madam, are you alright?” The

old woman was wearing a plain skirt, and there was no hairpin on her head. The grandson in her arms was holding a worn rattle and was also dressed in coarse cloth.

The old woman was not careful that someone stepped on her feet, and she was full of fire. She had to spit a few words, only to find out that the person who stepped on her was a young man with luxurious clothes. Then she looked at the little lady who was supporting her, and she was also very expensive. Angrily, knowing that the other party is either rich or expensive, he swallowed the phrase “do you have no eyes?”.

Pai didn’t dare to spit, but there was no anger on his face, the old woman pushed Du Tinglan’s hand away, limped to the side with her grandson in her arms, and cried out in pain, “Oh, oh, oh, it hurts my body.”

She said this . When he shouted, he attracted the attention of the people around him.

Du Shaotang panicked, this woman was already very old, and if he stepped down, he probably would have broken the other’s toe bone.

Du Tinglan’s face was also hot, but fortunately, he was wearing a hat on his head, so he wouldn’t be surrounded by too many people. He hurriedly signaled to his younger brother to apologize, while he supported the old woman and kept comforting with a warm voice: “My younger brother is rash, old man. Don’t be annoyed, there’s a medical center nearby, we’ll accompany you to take a look.” Du Shaotang

bowed deeply and said sternly, “I’m sorry, it’s all the fault of the younger generation.”

It’s very bad. After thinking about it, the other party could have ignored it. It was only because of good upbringing that he stayed and apologized. After listening to the soft words of the sister and brother, the anger in my stomach disappeared long ago. Almost there. Besides, there is no serious problem with the feet. If you really want to go to the medical center, maybe the medical worker is too lazy to take a bottle of medicine, so he said gruffly: “No need. This little man, you look thin and weak. , the strength of stepping on people is strong enough, I’m afraid my feet will be swollen for several days.”

Du Tinglan felt sorry for herself, seeing the old woman said she would not go to the hospital, so she had to take out a small purse and put the few coins in it. To the grandson of the old woman.

This time, the old woman felt sorry for her. Knowing that the old woman had concerns, Du Tinglan said with a smile that her grandson was born cute, and the money was for Xiao Langjun to buy food.

The old woman then smiled wide-eyed.

The sister and brother turned around, and saw a young man in purple clothes looking at him with a smile not far away, his eyes were gentle and amiable, and his bearing was also graceful. The scene just now was seen by this person.

Sister Du Tinglan saw the prince in Ledao Villa, and they couldn’t help but look at each other in surprise: His Royal Highness.

The prince seemed to be out and about alone, dressed in a white dragon fish, with only a few followers by his side. In this case, it was not easy to rush forward and salute, so the siblings had to pretend that they did not recognize the prince.

Not long after walking, Du Shaotang saw a vendor selling steamed pears on the side of the road, and said excitedly, “Sister loves this, wait a minute, I’ll buy two bowls.”

Du Tinglan had to stop . pace.

After the incident just now, Du Shaotang was afraid that he would step on the feet of others again.

Du Tinglan was thinking about finding Teng Yuyi, and when she saw it, she wanted to call her brother out, but at this moment, a few people walked to the stall and bought several bowls of steamed pears in one go. The prince turned around and handed two bowls to Du Shaotang, laughing. He said, “Young Master Du, take it.”

Du Shaotang was stunned for a while. He thought that the prince and his party had already gone elsewhere, but unexpectedly they were here too. It was not good for the prince, so he respectfully took the pear. After thanking him, he came out of the crowd and gave one of the bowls to his sister.

Du Tinglan’s doubts turned into doubts, and he could only accept this kindness at a loss.

With the friendship of this bowl of steamed pears, it is logical for the prince to walk with his sister and brother.

“Young Master Du is studying in the Imperial College? How many years have you been studying?” The

prince’s voice was like a breeze.

Du Shaotang has always been timid, but now he was so frightened that he was so scared. When Qiu sent to him, Huo Qiu was very cautious, and he never made a single mistake. Thinking about it, he was trained by Cousin Yu, and Cousin Yu was only four years older than him… In the

past, he did everything He listened to his grandfather and sister. During this period, he assigned Huoqiu a lot of things, and he gradually got used to the feeling of making his own decisions.

He settled down and tried to answer according to his own thoughts: “A certain five-year-old Kaimeng has been studying in the Guozijian for six years.”

The prince said warmly: “The children of the Du family are all zhilan and jade trees, and your honor is more talented than Eryou. I heard that Duke Du was the first in the scholastic division, but he was sent to the Ministry of Officials because of his long poem “The People’s Suffering”. I was fortunate enough to read this long poem. Other officials used to sing praises for their merits, but Ling Zun complained for the common people every word. Unfortunately, this long poem was not passed on to my grandfather. The faint and incompetent Gu Shangshu pressed it down without authorization, this… Du Gongzi has heard of it?”

Du Shaotang secretly squeezed the sweat, that was a major turning point in the grandfather’s career, and he had a promising future, and has since fallen to the bottom of the valley, these words It was about the future of the Du family, so he couldn’t answer at will. He couldn’t make up his mind for a while, so he had to look at his sister as if asking for help.

The prince looked at it, and couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. He wanted to talk about it casually, but he didn’t expect to call the two brothers and sisters like a formidable enemy.

Du Tinglan noticed her brother’s gaze for help, but she didn’t say a word, but her back became straighter.

Du Shaotang’s heart lit up, and he thought about the words and said: “Grandpa often said that as a court official, the first priority is to share the worries of the saints and the common people. It is precisely because the sage is a wise monarch who regards the people as his sons, that grandpa dares to write straight and straight.” The

prince smiled slightly, and these words were neither humble nor arrogant. While praising the monarch, it also revealed the loyalty and honesty of the Du family again. .

He heard that Du Yuzhi’s temperament is too upright, and he often confronts people. From this point of view, Du Shaotang seems to be softer than his father, round outside and square inside, which is particularly valuable.

Yes, Mrs. Du was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the temperament of her sister and brother probably followed her mother’s. It was no wonder that Du Tinglan was so gentle and honest.

Du Tinglan’s heart was even more mixed. Ayu always said that her younger brother should be on her own, but she and A-Niang were always worried. Now it seems that she and A-Niang have made too many mistakes. There is no bird in this world that can’t be separated from its wings. , As if in an instant, the younger brother grew up.

I don’t know what the prince will ask next, but it seems that she doesn’t have to worry about it all the time.

The prince was a little helpless.

Blame him, this is also the first time he has chatted with the little lady.

A-Niang took care of everything else, except for her future daughter-in-law’s affairs. Before moving into the East Palace, he had no maids by his side. After moving into the East Palace, there were only some older nanny in the palace.

Not only that, but A-Niang also instructed several sons to take the grandfather as a model and not to take concubines all their lives.

The prince knew very well in his heart that it was precisely because the late emperor was surrounded by many concubines that the grandfather in the swaddling clothes was almost poisoned. In his eyes, he also felt that this was a matter of course.

This year, at his mother’s request, he began to pay attention to these ladies in Chang’an. Originally, he was very curious about Teng Yuyi because of Teng Shao, but unfortunately Teng Yuyi had a rubella attack that night at Ledao Villa. He couldn’t see Teng Yuyi’s appearance. Du Tinglan sucked all his mind away.

In the past, it was only from a distance, but just now I saw Du Tinglan’s appearance up close. When the wind blew, the thin gauze curtain couldn’t stop anything. Du Tinglan’s nose was full of cherry lips, and she was born with a pair of crescent-like eyes.

He had never seen such gentle and clear eyes, and when he looked at it, his heartbeat couldn’t stop speeding up.

Seeing that Du Shaotang was a little embarrassed, he decided to change the subject and said with a smile, “There’s someone talking about changing the text over there, why don’t you go and listen?” The

siblings breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

At this moment, a large number of people rushed towards the arch bridge in front of the Qinglong Temple. Du Tinglan did not expect it and was almost washed over by the crowd.

Du Shaotang was so thin that she couldn’t protect her sister. Huo Qiu was separated by three feet, so she couldn’t get close for a while. Du Tinglan was constantly pushed by the crowd behind her, and when she was about to fall, someone stretched out her hand to help her steadily. Living.

Du Tinglan raised her head in embarrassment, and happened to meet the prince’s eyes. The prince let go of his hand and said, “There seems to be some trouble over there. Let’s go and see.”

Du Tinglan was very grateful.

But the further she walked, the more doubts she felt in her heart. No matter how crowded the crowd was, as long as she couldn’t walk, the prince would calmly help her out.

She naturally knows what this means. Only by paying special attention to a certain person will she take all the actions of the other person in her eyes, and the appearance of the prince tonight is too coincidental. The Qinglong Temple theater is so big, but the prince has been with them all the time. road.

The more she thought about it, the more shocked she became.

Fortunately, as soon as the incident happened, the prince spontaneously separated from them.

***

“Sister?” Teng Yuyi looked at Du Tinglan curiously.

Du Tinglan didn’t know how to answer the question. It was really weird, but after thinking about it, he felt that everything was just a coincidence. Du Shaotang thought that the prince’s attitude was too enthusiastic, so he scratched it in his head and quietly said everything he had just said. .

Teng Yuyi was stunned.

There are so many places to play near Qinglong Temple. It’s not good for the prince to go anywhere.

Of course, in Teng Yuyi’s eyes, elder sister is the most beautiful woman in the world. Last time, she won the top spot among the talented girls at Ledao Villa, but the prince was not there. It’s not surprising that she would be moved when she was there.

It’s just that the crowd was full of tourists tonight, and the scene just now was probably seen by many people. Fortunately, my sister was wearing a hat, and not many people nearby knew the prince.

Teng Yuyi was relieved and took Du Tinglan’s arm: “This place is hard to talk about, let’s go back to

Jushuangzhai first.” Du Tinglan tiptoed to look at the place of the incident: “What happened?”

Teng Yuyi told the previous incident.

The siblings were shocked.

The three returned to Jushuangzhai, and two yamen from Dali Temple stood at the door.

Almost all the classmates came back. Teng Yuyi counted silently in her heart. Everyone was there, but Wu Zhang and Wu Qi were missing. One was in trouble, and the other accompanied Brother A to help.

Liu Siniang and others wiped away their tears: “Everyone came out to play happily, who would have thought such a thing would happen, the murderer is really bold.”

Aunt Peng and Erniang Peng also sighed: “Didn’t you see, what happened to Young Master Wu and Wu Qi? If something like this happens, the Wu family will never give up.”

“What is a lost soul? Meaning, I don’t know if I can get it back?”

Deng Weili also had tears in his eyes, and he was silent for a long while and said bitterly: “Tonight’s events are too strange. Wu Hao said that he wanted to take me to see someone and asked me to be at the seventh bridge pier. I waited for her, but I didn’t wait for Wuchang, but everyone mistakenly thought that I was traveling with the Prince Cheng.”

Li Huaigu was stunned: “You didn’t know that the Prince Cheng was by your side?”

“After the incident, I two The maid told me, but in fact, at that time, I was so focused on waiting for Wu Zhang that I didn’t pay attention to the people around me.”

Teng Yuyi couldn’t help but said, “Wu Zhang said this to you personally? ”

Wu Zhang told me personally.” Deng Weili snorted for a while, “The strange thing is that after saying this, I couldn’t find her all night, and I finally saw her passing by the front of the building without waiting for me. When asked what the hell she was doing, she had an accident.” The

classmates looked at each other: “Is this too coincidental to make us mistakenly think that you are having a tryst with the prince? But what good will it do to herself? A

distant relative of the Liu family interjected stupidly: “I heard that Mrs. Wu is one of the candidates for the crown princess. If you make everyone mistakenly think that Mrs. Deng is having an affair with the Prince Cheng, she will not—”

Liu Siniang changed on the spot . His face changed: “Goro, shut up.”

The man was too frightened to speak.

Deng Weili said categorically: “Impossible, I still don’t know what kind of temperament Mrs Wu is? She won’t hurt anyone because of such a thing.”

Others also agreed: “That is, Mrs Wu is notoriously soft-hearted. , I don’t have any disputes with the world on weekdays, otherwise Duan Qingying from the Zhenguo Gongfu would not have stolen the corner.”

“But there must be a reason for the murderer to take Aunt Wu’s soul.”

Peng Jinxiu seemed to have remembered something, and shivered suddenly: “Last time I heard that the prince has a crush, saying that he has a gentle temperament, the prince fell in love at first sight, there are many talented ladies in the academy, and gentle But there are not many, it’s Aunt Wu, is the murderer because of this—” The

girls were stunned.

The candidate for the crown princess will move the whole body, and before the dust settles, there will never be any rumors in the palace.

Where did the Peng family get the news? Peng Huayue

interrupted her sister loudly and forced a smile: “Don’t be surprised, the second sister is very straightforward. It is estimated that a certain classmate is joking with Aunt Wu, but my sister believes it is true.”

She lived with the woman, and she didn’t dare to say a word next.

Just listening to someone talking outside the door, the yamen came in and said, “Which is Mrs. Deng? The officials of Dali Temple have a few words to ask in person. Please go to the elegant room on the second floor, Yan Sizhi and Lin Pingshi will come later. , In order to avoid suspicion, you can take your maid and maid by your side.”

Deng Weili put on the hood and led the people upstairs.

The clerk said again: “Please ask Mrs. Wu’s classmates to wait here, they may ask questions one by one later.”

Deng Weili waited for a while in the private room on the second floor, when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs, and soon Lin Chengyou and Yan Si Zhi pushed the door and came in.

Deng Weili got up and saluted.

Yan Sizhi sat down and asked, “Wu Zhang asked Mrs. Deng to go to the bridge tonight?”

Deng Weili explained the previous events one by one.

Lin Chengyou said: “Did someone give you a piece of jewelry tonight? Where did you give it? Do you know who that person is?”

Deng Weili ordered the maid to present the brocade box of Zhaixinglou to the two: “When I got off the bridge, I wanted to go directly to Jushuangzhai, but when I saw a puppet seller on the side of the road, I couldn’t help but stop. The hawker said There is a complete set of 18 pieces of Quyi in his cargo box, but it is just at the alley over there. If I am interested, I can go to the alley and take a look. I have a lot of servants with me, and there are pedestrians all around, forgive me The hawker didn’t dare to think badly, so he followed to the alley. The hawker took out a brocade box from the cargo box and stuffed it into the maid. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away. I asked the maid to throw the brocade box away, maid But I opened the brocade box and looked at it, there was a pair of precious and extraordinary moon-reflecting bead rings, and there were three words ‘Zhaixinglou’ engraved on the outside of the box, by the way, there was a letter attached to the inside of the box lid.”

Lin Chengyou asked: “Do you like to buy puppets?”

Deng Weili said frankly: “I like to buy puppets since I was a child. Every time I go out to play, I will buy a few and go back.”

Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi looked at each other, no wonder they were able to pinpoint every step. The hobby of Mrs. Deng.

“What about that letter?” Lin Chengyou asked again.

Deng Weili asked for the letter to be presented.

Lin Chengyou opened the letter and was stunned on the spot. The content of the letter was very unfamiliar, but the handwriting was familiar.

Yan Sizhi was even more surprised: “This is not…”

Isn’t this Lin Chengyou’s handwriting?

This letter is very touching, and almost every sentence expresses his admiration for Deng Weili. Coupled with the “tour together” of the arch bridge and the jewelry of Zhaixinglou, anyone will mistakenly think that Lin Pingshi has a crush on Deng Weili.

Lin Chengyou looked at the place where the signature was signed, but there was not a word.

“Does Mrs. Deng know who wrote this letter?”

Deng Weili was silent for a while: “I have no clue.”

Lin Chengyou smiled: “If you really have no clue, you will throw the brocade box in the alley on the spot, and then How can the maid be careful to keep it?”

“Okay.” Deng Weili held his cheek and sighed, “I thought it was given to me by His Royal Highness, so I didn’t dare to discard it without authorization.”

Yan Sizhi was stunned, this lady Deng’s demeanor was not the same as that one. General Teng’s daughter is a bit like.

Lin Chengyou closed the brocade box smoothly: “This matter may be related to the murderer. Dali Temple needs to find out the source of the jewelry immediately. If it is given by one of Madam Deng’s admirers, we will return it to Madam Deng when we find out.”

Deng Weili He breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s okay.”

Lin Chengyou said again: “So when Wu Liang had an accident, who were the classmates in Jushuangzhai?”

Deng Weili was surprised.

“Besides me, there are Mrs. Teng, Liu Siniang, and Wu Qi, and the other table is…” Deng Weili recalled carefully, and added, just to be cautious, “By the way, Mrs. Teng was the last one to come in. , within a quarter of an hour after she sat down, something happened outside.”

After Deng Weili left, Yan Sizhi wrote in his notebook: “It seems that these people from Jushuangzhai can be ruled out of suspicion… After taking the soul, everyone The time of the attack was different. Although Mrs. Teng was in the building when the incident happened, the accident happened within a quarter of an hour after she sat down. In this way, she was suspected.” But

Lin Chengyou said, “It can’t be her.”

Yan Sizhi meal.

Lin Chengyou looked at the notebook in front of him, and said lightly: “She stayed with me before, I asked someone to inquire about things in the academy, and after a few words, I asked Kuannu to send her back to Jushuang. Zhai, I met Mrs. Wu halfway. According to Kuannu, Mrs. Wu was conscious at that time and stopped to chat with Mrs. Teng before breaking up. Kuannu and several followers can testify about this matter. Under the watchful eyes of Kuannu and others, Mrs. Teng had no chance to act.”

If this matter is not made clear in advance, Yan Sizhi will definitely investigate Teng Yuyi carefully in order to investigate the case, so that the private meeting between him and Teng Yuyi will be recorded. in the case.

Yan Sizhi stared at Lin Chengyou in a daze, and said what he said, his face turned red, his heart suddenly lit up, it turned out that Lin Pingshi’s sweetheart was Mrs. Teng.

It must be, otherwise, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to help Mrs. Teng get rid of it. I thought that when I went to look for Lin Pingshi, I happened to bump into a slender figure and hurried away. Lin Pingshi was staying in the alley at that time. If he didn’t want to meet a little lady in private, he would never do this.

Yan Sizhi didn’t pierce Lin Chengyou, but nodded sympathetically: “Alright, then—who shall we ask to answer next?”

“Ms. Teng.”

Teng Yuyi came up quickly, and as soon as he pushed the door, he saw Lin Chengyou, Lin Chengyou was sitting After the case, motioned her to sit down opposite.

“Sit down.”

Teng Yuyi nodded. Although he was wearing a hood, the shrill sound of his steps was clearly audible.

Lin Chengyou looked up at her head, and then lowered her eyes again, looking as usual: “Where was the last time Mrs. Teng saw Mrs. Wu tonight?”

Teng Yuyi said: “Near the arch bridge.”

“At that time, Mrs. Wu was surrounded by people. Who are there?”

“It seems that there are only three maids.”

“No classmates?”

Teng Yuyi shook her head.

“Wu Yuanluo wasn’t there either?”

Teng Yu thought for a while: “Anyway, she wasn’t with Aunt Wu at the time.”

“Aunt Wu’s face was abnormal? Did she speak clearly when she spoke to you?”

Teng Yu nodded: “It’s very clear. She held a lot of gadgets in her hand, a small kite the size of a palm, a small hammer, almost four or five gadgets, and when she saw me, she stopped and smiled and said a few words to me, and then she took her maid. We went the other way.”

“Did she say where to go?”

“She said she was going to put a wishing lantern by the river.”

Lin Chengyou paused: “Does she have a lantern in her hand?”

” No.” “Where

‘s the maid?”

“No lantern.”

Yan Sizhi frowned . : “I’m going to put a wishing lantern by the river, but I don’t have a lantern in my hand, so I plan to go buy a lantern first.”

Lin Chengyou suddenly said again: “Are there any suspicious people around you at that time? For example, someone is carrying a piece of Meat and meat, follow Aunt Wu quietly.”

Teng Yuyi blinked, who would walk around with a piece of meat on such a good night, could it be that the murderer was a butcher?

She thought back seriously: “I didn’t see it. There were too many people on the main street, and I didn’t pay much attention to it.”

“Then did you encounter something strange on your way back?”

“Yes.” Teng Yuyi said hurriedly, ” Have you returned to Jushuangzhai? How long ago, I saw Lu Zhaoan walking past the building, and then I heard that Wu Xiang had an accident.”

Teng Yuyi had already sent Chang Geng to tell Lin Chengyou about this, but Yan Sizhi didn’t know about it, so he was horrified: “Lu Zhaoan?

” It is such a coincidence that every time there is a case of losing a soul, Lu Zhaoan happens to be nearby. The first Hu Jizhen, Mr. Hu, had a falling out with Lu Zhaoan before the accident. The second victim, Li Ying’er, accidentally fell into the well of Chuguo Temple. The two incidents were not far from Lu Zhaoan’s residence.

Tonight’s Aunt Wu finally had nothing to do with Lu Zhaoan, and Lu Zhaoan appeared nearby before the incident.

Yan Sizhi picked up the pen and wrote this record: “Lin commented on the matter, it seems that we can formally arraign Lu Zhaoan.”

Lin Chengyou said to Teng Yuyi again: “Spread your hand out, I will see if there is any trace of using the talisman. Teng Yuyi knew that this was for

Yan Sizhi to see, so she stretched out her arms and spread her palms in front of the two of them.

Lin Chengyou got up and approached, and tried it with the talisman in front of Yan Sizhi.

“Okay, you haven’t used the talisman before, so you can go.”

Next, Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi passed on Li Huaigu and others to ask questions.

Lin Chengyou asked straight to the point: “Where were you before Mrs. Wu’s accident?”

Li Huaigu said calmly, “I have brought my maid to buy a kite. My servant said that I flew kites near Chuguo Temple when I was young, but unfortunately I was seriously ill when I was young. I forgot about these things a long time ago, my servant first talked about it, and out of curiosity, I went to the kite shop to have a look.”

She said, and asked the maid beside her to take out the kite she just bought.

Lin Chengyou was stunned for a while, this kite looks familiar, and I don’t know where I’ve seen it.

“Where have you seen Aunt Wu tonight?”

Li Huaigu shook his head: “I drank tea at Jushuangzhai after I came, and then I went to buy a kite, and then I heard that something had happened, and I spent the whole night. I haven’t seen Aunt Wu.” The

kite shop is nearby, and Li Sanniang will know how long she has been in the shop when she asks the shop. She dares to say this, thinking that she has a clear conscience.

Lin Chengyou got up from behind the table: “Please spread out Mrs. Li’s hand, I have to check whether you have used the talisman tonight.”

“Okay.” Li Huaigu raised his arms and spread his palms.

Lin Chengyou approached and bent over to observe.

Yan Sizhi’s eyes fell on Li Huaigu’s hand, but this little lady’s fingers were unusually white and slender.

Strangely, Li Sanniang’s chest suddenly heaved up and down when Lin Chengyou approached, she seemed to be a little nervous, but also a little shy, she quickly came back to her senses and calmly stabilized herself. arm.
