Beauty has a disease

Chapter 118
"No brains, it's not tasty." A bird fluttered down on the window sill, and the maids who were sweeping were not surprised.

"Look at it, it's that parrot, here it comes again."

"But this time the master is not at home, so there is no way to feed it."

"Whose family raised this parrot?"

"Who knows, anyway, no matter whose family it belongs to, this parrot probably depends on the master, and it always comes to beg for food and drink."

The parrot kept repeating the words "brainless, not tasty", and the three maids looked at it in amazement, "Can this parrot learn anything?"

"Parrot, follow me and say something like a fairy."

"What about a fairy, why don't you call me sister, and I'll find some food for you if you call me sister."

The parrot didn't seem to understand. It tilted its head and looked at it for a moment, then flapped its wings and flew away.

On the window sill, except for a feather that fell, no mark was left.

After leaving Sun Li's house, Yu Jin went straight to the prison.

Yan Huai'an had already asked almost all the questions he could, and then waited for Ember to come back with evidence.

When Ember came back, Yan Huai'an was holding a bowl to feed Sun Li with water, but probably Yan Huai'an had never done such a thing before, so most of the water in the bowl leaked, and not much got into Sun Li's mouth.

"Miss Yu is back." Seeing Yu Jin coming in, Yan Huai'an stopped feeding Sun Li water. There was more than half a bowl of water left, so Yan Huai'an put it on the table casually, "Found it?"

Ember said yes, she first took out the things she found in the study from her arms, "These are evidences that he accepted bribes."

Then he carefully took out eight pieces of paper of average size from his narrow sleeves, pushed them in front of Yan Huai'an, and said, "This should be the portrait Sun Li was talking about."

Yan Huai'an's slender fingers flicked the pieces of paper apart one by one, and his two fingers occasionally fiddled and rotated. During the puzzle process, he asked, "Did you put it together to see what fell?"

Ember glanced at Sun Li, who was obviously disturbed, pursed her lips, and said, "I haven't tried yet, I don't know if it's missing, but if it's missing, I'll just look for it."

Yan Huai'an raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, which means that if it is missing, Ember will have a solution.

Eight pieces of paper, because the painting is a portrait, so it is not so troublesome to piece together, and the painting will be pieced together soon.

Fortunately, there are no gaps.

Ember subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

But when he saw the whole picture of this portrait, Ember's heart, which had just relaxed, lifted up again.

This portrait...

Yan Huai'an looked up at Ember, with a half-smile, and said, "Who does Miss Yu think this portrait is about?"

Although the drawing skills of the person who wrote this portrait is not very good, you can still tell who is painting it.

is her.

No, there is another person who matches this portrait.

It should be said that the face of Ember was painted.

Combined with Sun Li's explanation, he said that this portrait was brought to him about a year ago, and this time coincides with the basic timeline of the true and false daughter incident that was raging at that time.

Yan Huai'an raised his hand and knocked on the table, resting his other hand on his chin thoughtfully.

"a year ago……"

"So who is this portrait looking for?"

"Is the person behind the scenes really in the capital, or outside the capital?"

Yan Huai'an recalled the doubtful candidates one by one in his mind, but he couldn't think of a perfect match for a while. Anyone could be, but no one looks like.

Yan Huaian sighed, "There are still too few clues."

He gathered up the fragments of the portrait, then piled them together and put them in his sleeves, and even took a look at Ember's eyes.

Of course I didn't see anything.

Yan Huai'an got up with a flick of his sleeves, and strode out. "Let's go, sort out today's news, and come back tomorrow."

Yan Huai'an and Yu Jin left one after another, and Sun Li was still tied to the cross, half dead. He couldn't care about his physical discomfort at the moment, he could only feel his beating heart.

What to do, how could it be found out?Then, wouldn't the person who stored these papers also be searched out?

Now that it is found, will it be noticed?
Sun Li's throat rolled up and down, feeling flustered.

fluttering--

The sound of flapping wings stopped at the window of the cell, and an emerald green parrot slipped through the gap and glided to the table, sticking its head into the bowl to drink water.

"It's you!"

Sun Li opened his eyes wide and looked at the parrot, a light suddenly lit up in his eyes, he said anxiously: "Tell that lord, save me, save me!"

After the parrot drank enough water, it flew onto Sun Li's shoulder again, "It's brainless, it doesn't taste good."

"Don't worry about whether it's good or not." Sun Li lowered his voice, "Tell your lord, save me, save me!"

The parrot blinked and said imitatively: "Help me, save me."

"That's right, that's it, save me!"

"Help me, save me," repeated the parrot, and then flew through the window and disappeared.

Sun Li was still muttering, "Save me, definitely save me, definitely, I don't want to die yet..."

After a while, a guard from a new shift came in and untied Sun Li. Sun Li came back to his senses, looked at the water bowl not far away and licked his lips, "Give me some water to drink."

The jailer thought about it, although the master is a prisoner now, drinking saliva is not a big deal, so he agreed.

The jailer looked down at first, then picked up the jug, filled the bowl, and handed it to Sun Li.

Sun Li picked up the bowl and gurgled for a while, drinking it in two or three gulps.

He still didn't think it was enough, so he asked for a pitcher and drank it clean.

The jailer left, and Sun Li, who was full after drinking a lot of water, lay down contentedly, thinking "that adult will definitely be able to get me out", thinking about it, his vision gradually blurred, his eyelids became heavy, and finally he closed his eyes.

-

The next day, just as Yu Jin and Wang Xingzhi stepped into the door of the office, Yan Huai'an quickly walked out from the door with a gloomy expression.

Seeing Ember, Yan Huai'an said "Follow me", Ember didn't have time to ask, so she could only follow quickly.

Walking all the way to the government prison, Ember finally understood why Yan Huai'an's face looked so ugly.

Sun Li is dead.

Died in prison.

Seeing Yan Huai'an coming in with Ember, the guards in a circle hurried out of the way, and Ember saw Sun Li lying on the ground with a dark and purple face.

Yesterday he was alive and well, but today he was poisoned to death.

"what happened?"

The jailer who was on duty today and who was the first to discover that Sun Li was dead replied, "My lord, when I came to deliver the food this morning, I saw that Sun Li was motionless. , I became suspicious, so I opened the cell door."

"But I didn't expect..." At this point, the jailer swallowed, his voice trembling a little, "I didn't expect the master's face to be dark and purple, I checked his breath, it was gone, no breath, dead, just die..."

At the beginning, the jailer spoke clearly, but the more he spoke, the more chaotic he became, and it was obvious that he had entered the excitement when he saw the corpse for the first time.
