Chapter 488 Timid as a Mouse
After resting comfortably all night, as soon as I woke up the next morning, there was a strange sound outside the door.

There was a lot of noise, as if something had happened, occasionally mixed with a few low-pitched cries of a woman.

Cang Hao had already left the wing room and went to the front hall. Su Mo was washing up. He frowned slightly when he heard the sound, and said calmly, "What's going on?"

Mei Yun went out to check what happened, and came back to report: "Miss, a maid in the backyard committed suicide. Xue Lian and Feng Xing are inquiring about the cause and effect."

Maid suicide?

Su Mo said lightly: "What's your name?"

"Baby Liu."

"Baby Liu?" Su Mo frowned, and suddenly stopped what he was doing, with a cold look on his brows, "How did you die?"

"Take poison."

"...I'll go and have a look." Su Mo pondered for a while, then got up and walked outside, "Where is that woman named Feng'er?"

"It's also in the backyard. She lives with Liu Baobao. When she woke up in the morning, she found Liu Baobao bleeding to death from her seven orifices. She screamed, and then she was so frightened that she couldn't speak."

Mei Yun was just stating the facts, but Su Mo suddenly sneered after hearing it, "It's a perfect drama, timid, and it has an advantage everywhere."

"Uh..." Mei Yun was surprised, "Miss, what do you mean, this matter has something to do with Feng'er?"

"It's not that you can't get rid of the relationship, it's what she did."

Although Mei Yun was surprised, she didn't doubt what Su Mo said.

Feng'er seems timid, but if she is really a caring person, I'm afraid everything will be done for outsiders to see.

"Miss, do you need to report this matter to the young master?"

"Report it if you want, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to." Su Mo said, "Anyway, it's just a clumsy show to save your life."

Su Mo walked very fast, and while talking, the two had already arrived in the backyard, surrounded by a crowd of chaotic maids, the crying had stopped, only a wave of doubt and uneasiness was still flowing among the numerous maids.

Feng Xing and Xue Lian stood aside, they didn't interrogate anyone, they just did a simple inspection of the woman's body placed on the white cloth in the courtyard, then Xue Lian raised her head and glanced at everyone, "Those who have been out of the village yesterday and today Who is there?"

As soon as the words came out, the maids looked at each other in blank dismay, some with uneasy eyes, and some with obviously relieved expressions.

Su Mo raised her eyebrows. It seems that the poison Liu Baobao has taken has many tricks in it.

So, the maids who had been out of the village within two days stood together, all of them pale and about to cry.Those who had never been out of the village stood on the other side and breathed a sigh of relief because the matter had nothing to do with them.

Su Mo glanced lightly, and Feng'er was standing in the row that had never left the village.

The next step is bound to be interrogation one by one.

"I didn't realize that Lian'er, who has always been well-behaved, would have such an aura." Su Mo walked into the courtyard and praised casually.

Xue Lian and Feng Xing, who were standing aside, turned their heads at the same time, saw Su Mo coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"I've seen Miss."

"Meet the girl."

Mei Yun smiled and said, "Lian'er, Miss praises you."

Xue Lian was ashamed and said coquettishly, "Sister Mei always makes fun of me."

Su Mo smiled and waved her hand, her starry eyes scanned the yard, "How is the investigation going?"

Feng Xingdao: "The toxin in Liu Baobao's body is a kind of juice extracted from red grass. Its medicinal properties are very similar to arsenic. There is no such poison in the mountain village, nor are there any medicine shops in Yuecheng. This kind of grass has no name yet, and its medicinal properties are very special. Once picked, the medicinal properties can only last for two days, so it must be used in time, otherwise it will lose its medicinal effect and become no different from ordinary plants. "

"This medicine also has a characteristic. Within two days, the person who picks it will have a dark red color similar to dried blood on his hands. It cannot be washed off with ordinary water, and it will naturally fall off until the medicine's properties disappear."

Su Mo listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he smiled lightly and said, "Then do you think Baby Liu committed suicide? Or was he killed by someone else?"

Feng Xingdao: "It looks like suicide, and there are similar red marks on her palm."

"Suicide?" Su Mo smiled meaningfully, "A little girl with an innocent background, who has done nothing wrong, and has not suffered any devastating blows, why is she suddenly thinking about committing suicide?"

Feng Xing frowned, "This is also what I find strange. She looks like she committed suicide, but from all the signs, she is not. It's just that I can't figure it out. Although this woman has not been in the villa for a long time, she is said to be optimistic. Cheerful and easy to get along with, she is very popular among many women, and does not quarrel with others easily, logically speaking, there is nothing that can make her suddenly..."

Su Mo interrupted his analysis lightly: "There's no need to look it up, I know who it is."

The cold starry eyes swept across the crowd slightly, Su Mo raised her eyebrows and smiled, walked directly to Feng'er who had kept her head down, looked at her tender little face, and smiled lightly under the surprised eyes of many maids, " Feng'er, do you live with Liu Baobao?"

Feng'er seemed to be overly frightened, her palm-sized face was as pale as snow, and when she heard Su Mo's question, she said tremblingly: "Yes... yes, the baby lives in the same room as the servant, and I found out when I woke up this morning... "

"I woke up this morning and found that Liu Baobao was out of breath. Then you let out a terrified scream and recruited everyone here just to witness your innocence. Am I right?"

Feng'er was stunned for a while, "Servant...servant doesn't understand Miss's meaning..."

"You really don't seem to understand." Su Mo smiled lightly, "Has Long Lian contacted you recently?"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

In Jiyue Villa, even if they were just little maids, almost all of them had seen the world, and most of them had accompanied Mei Yun to handle some simple business dealings in the Jianghu.As for Long Lian from the Dragon and Phoenix Gang, even if he didn't know him, he had heard of it.

Feng'er's complexion changed, and she knelt down on the ground with a common sound, her little face was as pale as snow, "Servant... I don't know... I don't know what Miss said..."

Seeing this, Xue Lian frowned slightly, "Miss..."

Su Mo smiled coldly, "Lian'er, arrange for everyone to disperse, so what to do."

"Yes." Xue Lian got the order and hurriedly turned around to dismiss the crowd.Everyone took orders to leave, only Mei Yun and Feng Xing remained here.

"Liu Baobao's life experience, I checked it out on purpose. She is a citizen of the Western Regions, but her background is as clean as a piece of white paper." Su Mo walked to the side of the willow tree, slowly sat on the bench, and gently bent her legs. legs, casually fiddled with the tassels on the skirt, looked up at the little girl who was kneeling on the ground and almost huddled into a ball, and smiled lightly, "Feng'er, on the other hand, looks as timid as a mouse, but Where did you get the guts to do some self-defeating actions?"
