Chapter 28

Generally speaking, in order to prevent thieves from looting or enemies coming to the house, some wealthy families will dig a tunnel and secret room in their own house to protect themselves and their families.

You can even transfer treasure secretly.

Especially considering that the courtyard where Yuanwai Lin lived was refurbished on the basis of the old courtyard of a wealthy businessman during the previous turmoil.

So this house, will there also be a tunnel secret room?
Otherwise, how could Mei Xing'er disappear out of thin air?

Having figured this out, Li Nanke immediately asked Lin Yuanwai: "Is there a secret room or a tunnel in this room!"

Sure enough, upon hearing Li Nanke's words, Member Lin nodded, "Of course."

Member Lin was not stupid, he immediately realized his answer, rushed to the corner next to the bookcase, and pressed down an inconspicuous wooden stake.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the bed was lifted up, a tunnel appeared, and a wooden ladder could be seen extending down.

"lady!"

Lin Yuanwai rushed into the tunnel, and because he was too excited, he accidentally stepped on the ladder and fell down.

Leng Xinnan and the others quickly followed.

Fortunately, the ground at the entrance is not high, so even though Lin Yuanwai fell, he was fine.

Li Nanke climbed down the ladder and heard a 'whoosh' sound similar to an old fan turning.

After lighting the wall lamps outside the forest staff, he discovered that there were indeed two bamboo fan blades installed at the two corners of the secret room.It should be that there is a waterwheel rotating outside, and the design is used to store cold water in the tank to form an artificial fan, which arouses cool air and makes the air flow.

But everyone's attention was attracted by the woman lying on the ground.

It was Mei Xing'er!
At this moment, Mei Xing'er was lying on the cold ground, one side of her head was stained with blood, and there were also blood stains on the ground.

Although motionless, it can be seen from the rising and falling chest that the woman is still alive.

Li Nanke judged at a glance that Mei Xing'er jumped directly from the entrance of the tunnel and hit her head on the hard ground, which made her look like this.

Especially at that time, she was poisoned by the drunken fairy peach, which had an anesthetic effect, and she basically had no strength to get up.

"lady!"

Lin Yuanwai hugged his semi-conscious wife, weeping with joy.

As if sensing her husband's breath, Mei Xing'er opened her somewhat chapped lips, but was unable to speak.

It's just the corners of the eyes, but there are tears falling down.

I don't know if it's guilt or regret.

Everyone helped and lifted Mei Xing'er out of the tunnel.

Leng Xinnan gave a precise analysis based on the information Li Nanke found before: "At that time, Mei Xing'er should have realized that she had been hit by the drunk fairy peach, and was planning to go out to ask for help, but it happened that the monster Lao Qintou came.

In desperation, Mei Xing'er thought of this tunnel, so she hid in it.Because of the anesthesia reaction in her body, she couldn't land normally, she accidentally fell down and injured her head, and she fell into a semi-comatose.

The monster failed to find Mei Xing'er, so it vented and smashed up the room, and Xiang'er and the others heard it, and only then did the following things happen. "

Li Nanke remained silent, just staring at the beautiful woman who was recuperating on the bed in a daze.

After taking good care of her, Mei Xing'er gradually recovered a bit.

You can also open your eyes and talk.

"master……"

Looking at Lin Yuan who blamed himself in front of her, the beautiful woman's eyes were full of shame, and there was a bit of embarrassment in her weak cry.

Lin Yuanwai held his wife's hand tightly, and said in a sobbing voice, "It's all my fault. I should have thought of it earlier. It's my incompetence. I didn't protect you, madam. I didn't protect you well."

As he spoke, he drew his mouth.

Seeing this, Xiang'er hurriedly stepped forward to stop her to comfort her.

Everyone sighed secretly.

Li Nanke signaled Xiang'er to take Lin Yuanwai aside, and said to Mei Xing'er: "Before we talk, I have a small request, and I hope Madam will not refuse."

"The official said so."

Mei Xing'er said weakly, subconsciously dodging her eyes.

Li Nanke said: "Madam, can you take off your clothes and let me see."

As soon as these words came out, the beautiful woman was stunned.

Lin Yuanwai, who was wiping away his tears, stayed where he was, then blushed and wanted to reprimand angrily, but was suppressed by Leng Xinnan's cold eyes, and was speechless.

Li Nanke smiled and said, "Take it off, madam, I think...you don't want your daughter to have trouble either."

A faint blush appeared on Mei Xing'er's pale delicate face, her jade fingers gently grabbed the clothes, for fear that this handsome young man would rush up and strip her clothes off.

"It's okay if you don't take it off, then answer my question."

Li Nanke took out a painting and asked lightly. "Does Madam have such a birthmark?"

Mei Xing'er froze her delicate body.

The very familiar painting in front of her was like a bloody knife, piercing straight into her heart.

"Ma'am, you are also a smart person, so you know how to answer."

Li Nanke threw the painting on the woman.

Mei Xing'er was stunned for a while, looked at everyone in the room, and finally her gaze paused on her husband, she closed her eyes as if resigned to fate, and said softly: "That's right."

"So, the woman He Qingyu fell in love with back then was you, right?"

"Correct."

"And Lin Jiaoyue is you and his daughter, right?"

"..."

This time the woman did not answer, but a long silence.

It wasn't until the blood came out of his lips that he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and squeezed out a word from his throat.

"Correct."

thump!
In the room, a man sat slumped on the ground, with a dazed and unbelievable expression on his face.

Who else but forest staff.

Li Nanke clapped his hands and said, "Very good, then I can have a good talk with you and reveal the truth of the whole matter by the way."

Li Nanke signaled the irrelevant people in the house to go out, and even thoughtfully found a blanket to cover Mei Xing'er.

"Let's unfold this drama step by step according to the timeline.

A month ago, the Lin family had a happy event.Bai Buai, the young prince of Anping Palace, happened to meet Miss Lin Jiaoyue when he came to Dongqi County to relax, and fell in love at first sight.He even made an oath with his own mouth, saying that he would marry Lin Jiaoyue.

So Lin Jiaoyue was appointed to be the little princess, and she was about to fly to the branches and become a phoenix.

For a girl who aspired to become a master since she was a child, this is definitely the most important and biggest opportunity in her life.She would never let the opportunity be missed like this.

I can even conclude that Lin Jiaoyue deliberately created an opportunity for the little prince to meet her by chance.

From the first meeting, a glimpse, and then left a deep impression.And then to hide behind closed doors, playing hard to get... This chain of tricks, although very clichéd, is also very effective.

At least, the little prince was hooked. "

The room was quiet, only Li Nanke's clear voice echoed, and everyone listened quietly.

Mei Xing'er held onto the painting that her ex-lover had painted for her, but her eyes were looking at her husband, full of sorrow and remorse.

Li Nanke felt a little thirsty, so he asked Xiang'er to pour him some tea, and continued:
"It stands to reason that everything is going well, Miss Lin just needs to wait for the good news. Even if the little prince fails to promise, she can continue to be a rich lady.

However, everything changed half a month ago.

Half a month ago, Lin Yuanwai took his family to Lichen Temple to offer incense. Wan Yingying and Wen Jin'er were also with him.

No one would have thought that offering incense this time would change everyone's fate.

When Mrs. Lin was staying alone in the meditation room, the old lover He Qingyu suddenly appeared, and then began to question whether Lin Jiaoyue was their daughter.

But this quarrel was overheard by Lin Jiaoyue and the others next door.

Obviously, Mrs. Lin admitted this.

Admitting that Lin Jiaoyue was her and He Qingyu's child broke Miss Lin's dream of being a princess in an instant.

Why is it broken?

First, He Qingyu was originally a down-and-out scholar, far less than the daughter of the Lin family.The second, and the most deadly point, is that He Qingyu was charged with the crime of cheating in the exam back then.

Even if King Anping doesn't want to see his youngest son anymore, for the sake of face, he will never allow such a 'stained' family to marry him as in-laws, and be taken advantage of by others! "

Li Nanke stared at the pale Mei Xing'er and asked slowly. "Mrs. Lin, am I right?"

Mei Xing'er had a faint, shallow bitter smile on her lips, she remained silent.

Just when Li Nanke was about to continue speaking, she said softly, "Qing Yu and I fell in love with each other back then and decided to spend our lives privately. But because we were concerned about each other's identities, we hid it and waited for Qing Yu to redeem me when he became famous.

But with a fraud case, Qingyu's future is ruined.

He was so devastated that he couldn't recover from the setback. In order not to delay me, he resolutely severed his friendship with me.He even lied to me that he was going to marry someone else soon.

In a fit of anger, I married Lin Yuanwai in a fit of anger.

It was later learned that Qing Yu was not married to anyone.But it was too late, and our fate was over.

What Qing Yu didn't know was that I was actually pregnant at that time..."

Mei Xing'er's tears welled up in her eyes, and she slid across her softly contoured melon-seeded face, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Yuanwai stared blankly at his wife who had been with him for more than ten years.

It's like losing your soul.

The once-familiar figure seemed extremely strange at the moment.

Maybe he didn't even think that he was happy to find his wife, but God gave him such a big 'surprise'.

"Then go on."

Li Nanke picked up the teacup, moistened his throat, and spoke slowly.

"When Miss Lin knew that she was He Qingyu's biological daughter, her heart must have collapsed. All her ideals and wishes were wiped out at this moment.

Fortunately, she has two good sisters who intend to keep this secret for her.

So monk Chang Ming saw the scene where the three of them swear in the hall.

Although the girl Wan Yingying is arrogant and savage, domineering and mean.Although Wen Jin'er loves vanity.But they did regard Lin Jiaoyue as a good sister and were willing to keep a secret for her.

But Lin Jiaoyue didn't think so.

Can they keep it for a while, can they keep it for a lifetime?Who can guarantee that today's sisters will not become enemies in the future.

At that time, the so-called secret was the knife to kill!
In this world, there is only one kind of person who can keep a secret, and that is the dead! "

Li Nanke breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was very complicated.

Before, he really didn't want to believe that a young girl in her prime would have such a vicious heart, but facts are facts.

Reality is often more magical than fiction.

If you watch those juvenile delinquency documentaries, whether they are foreign or domestic, it is hard not to doubt whether some people are born with a devil hidden in their hearts.

The crimes committed send chills down the spine.

It doesn't matter whether it is created by the environment or by the character... These people are born with the 'bad seed' genes in their bones.

Li Nanke couldn't comment on Lin Jiaoyue.

But he only knows one thing... This girl's blood is definitely cold.

Li Nanke calmed down, and continued: "So Lin Jiaoyue made the first plan, killing her two sisters.

For this plan, she took advantage of the conflict between Wan Yingying and Wen Jin'er, and deliberately provoked it from the sidelines.This made Wan Yingying believe even more that Wen Jin'er wanted to steal the man she liked.

Don't underestimate Lin Jiaoyue's tricks, this woman has a deceptive mouth by nature.Otherwise, the entire government and the Night Patrol Division would not be fooled around by her.

Finally, under her instigation, the opportunity came.

Wan Yingying decided to go to Lichen Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and planned to have a showdown with Wen Jin'er while visiting Cuihong Mountain.

Lin Jiaoyue, on the other hand, wanted to seize this opportunity and plan to kill her two sisters!
She needs a murderer.

And this murderer is a monster.

Especially considering that Yuncheng, which is the closest to Dongqi County, has seen a monster in recent days, and has never been caught by the night watchman.

There are precedents before, no one will doubt.

Since the murderer is a monster, the monster must appear, so she asked Mrs. Lin to persuade He Qingyu to pretend to be the monster.

Of course He Qingyu would agree, after all, it was his own daughter's request, plus the plea of ​​Mei Xing'er, an old lover, he had no reason to refuse.

In fact, here, Lin Jiaoyue kept an eye out.

She didn't tell her mother and He Qingyu that she was going to kill the two sisters in Cuihong Mountain, but coaxed them with other reasons.After all, this is killing, no one will take the risk.

Otherwise, He Qingyu would not have climbed over the wall of the Lin Mansion to find Mei Xing'er that night, nor would he have gone to Baiyun Restaurant to drink in depression.

Because He Qingyu knew that he had been cheated, that's why he wanted to go to Lin's mansion to question her!
According to the clues provided by Xiang'er, after He Qingyu was kicked out of the Lin residence, Mei Xing'er and Miss Lin had a quarrel.No need to guess, Mei Xing'er was angry at her daughter for murdering her. "

Listening to Li Nanke's eloquent analysis, those doubts that were once confusing were also solved in everyone's mind.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Mei Xing'er with complicated eyes.

It is unfortunate to have such a daughter.

Mei Xing'er also understood at this moment that the truth could no longer be covered up, she said shyly: "That's right, Yue'er just said at the time that she wanted to play a play of 'saving people', so that Miss Wan and Miss Wen would appreciate her life-saving kindness, Keep her life a secret forever.

But originally she planned to let me pretend to be a monster to frighten me.But at that time, I was afraid that I would be suspected by the master after I left.After all, I seldom go out on weekdays, so I let Qing Yu go.

Qing Yu has already promised me that he will not reveal Yue'er's life experience, and he also understands that this will harm Yue'er and me.

Perhaps out of guilt for me and my daughter, he didn't think too much, so he agreed to the plan of pretending to be a monster and wanted to do something for his daughter.

But neither Qing Yu nor I thought that Yue'er would..."

Mei Xing'er's tears rolled down her cheeks, she was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
