Chapter 489 Suicide in fear of sin
"The slave is not..."

"You want to say that Long Lian didn't know you, but Liu Baobao?" Su Mo smiled charmingly, "Did Liu Baobao commit suicide in fear of crime?"

Feng Xing's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Girl, when Liu Baobao died, someone saw her go out of Zhuangzi..."

"And then?" Su Mo narrowed his eyes with great interest, and said with a faint smile, "Fengxing, the manager of Jiyue Villa should not be so stupid that he can be easily deceived by appearances."

Feng Xing looked up at her, and heard a certain meaning from her simple words - any cover-up or superficial things could not cover up the truth she already knew.

And the murderer she identified was Feng'er, who looked timid and weak on the surface-a little girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old.

The evidence presented on the surface is indeed easy to mislead people's judgment. If he and Xue Lian were in charge of the investigation today, even if they knew that the suicide was a fake, they probably would not have suspected Feng Er in the first place.

After step-by-step investigations one by one, Liu Baobao had been out of Zhuangzi, and there were traces of red blood on her palm, or some more abnormalities about her daily behavior by the maids around her in recent days, enough to make people draw conclusions.
Feng Xing knew Su Mo's temperament and ability, so at this moment, silence was the best choice.

"I don't believe in any evidence, and I don't need to do any investigation." Su Mo said, her eyes locked firmly on Feng'er in front of her, "I always only trust my intuition and judgment. Feng'er, it's Long Lian What instructions were given to you, or are you guilty of your own guilt?"

Feng'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to lift her head, her voice trembled as if she was about to cry in the next moment, "Your maidservant is wronged, where did the young lady say that..."

"Actually, from the first time I saw you, this girl knew that Feng'er was not a simple person, but because Jimo Lian was already dead, even a little maidservant like you couldn't make any trouble, so I ordered you I came to Jiyue Mountain Villa with Liu Baobao to work." Su Mo looked at Feng'er, whose expression became a little ugly but tried her best to hide it, and smiled indifferently, "If you can always keep your own place, this girl didn't plan to do anything to you. , but now, no matter whether you planned to kill Liu Baobao because you wanted to put the blame on her, or there are other reasons, if a life is lost, I have no reason to spare you."

After finishing the last sentence, Su Mo sat on the bench without moving, but a strange light flashed in front of her eyes. Feng'er, who seemed to have expected how she would be dealt with next, suddenly pulled up her petite and thin body flatly, and lightning flashed across her face. He flew towards Su Mo fiercely and quickly, and his timid and cowardly eyes instantly became vicious and cold.

Su Mo slightly raised her eyebrows, and did not move her body. Seeing that the short sword that appeared in Feng'er's hand was about to pierce the vitals of her chest, suddenly a long sword stabbed diagonally and hit her chest. Two inches away blocked the blade of the dagger in time.

The short sword collided with the long sword, and the ear-piercing sound of "Dang" shook the eardrums.

Under the glare of the sun, the sharp cold light from the tip of the sword quickly leaped into the pupils, a smear of red flashed across, and the petite body fell limply to the ground.

On the snow-white jade neck, a thin but clear bloodstain was shocking, and the cold sword energy had mercilessly severed the carotid artery.

But on the tip of the sword, it is transparent and bright, and it is still as clean as a speck of dust.

"The swordsmanship is good." Su Mo said, and praised lightly.

Feng Xing put his sword back into its sheath, stood aside and bowed his head and said: "It's a lowly job."

"It's okay." Su Mo curled her lips lightly, and smiled lazily, "I won't tell Cang Hao, and I won't tell Yue Xiao, you, the majestic chief manager of Jiyue Villa, are so stupid."

Mei Yun and Xue Lian were startled at the same time.

Steward Feng Xing... Stupid?
The corner of Fengxing's mouth twitched, and he frowned and said: "Yes, this is a humble job, thank you girl in advance."

"Let's dispose of the body."

Standing up, Su Mo said: "Cang Hao is in the lobby of the main courtyard?"

"Yes."

Su Mo was about to leave.

"Girl." Feng Xing called out.

Su Mo turned back, "What else?"

"Young master ordered no one to disturb..."

"Yue Xiao ordered?" Su Mo's mouth curled up, "Who is in the main courtyard?"

"There are only three people, Master, Young Master, and Young Master Shu Tong."

Su Mo understood, casually picked up a willow branch next to her, and said lightly: "This girl is not included in 'anyone'."

After all, without any further hesitation, he walked away, heading towards the main courtyard where no one should disturb him.

Jiyue Villa is very large, and the backyard where the female family members live is in the northwest corner of the villa, at least an hour's walk away from the main hall in the front yard.

Fenglin Court is the east courtyard of Jiyue Villa, and it is also the main courtyard. Among them, Donghua Building is the main building in the main courtyard. Except for Yue Xiao, Shu Tong, and Feng Xing, only Mei Yun and Xue Lian are usually eligible to enter. Even the simplest cleaning work was done by Mei Yun and Xue Lian.

Su Mo's footsteps are not slow, and an hour's journey is not a problem for her at all. If she wants to, even if she can't do light work, she can easily reach it within a cup of tea.

But she didn't seem to be in a hurry, and she took a step by step leisurely. On the winding and winding corridors that stretched tens of miles away, the temperature became cooler and quieter as she went deeper, and the scenery became more charming. Entering the tip of the nose, with the coolness of the heart that can only be felt when late autumn is approaching and winter is approaching, it makes people feel comfortable for a while, lingering and reluctant to leave.

Because of this, a lot of time was wasted. When Su Mo arrived at Fenglin Garden, it was already half an hour later, plus the half hour that was delayed in the backyard just above, the breakfast time had already passed.

Of course, Su Mo has a noble status, and now she is a pregnant woman. Yue Xiao almost didn't order the people in the village to worship her as a bodhisattva Lafayette. Naturally, it is impossible for her breakfast to be restricted by time all the time.

As soon as she stepped into Fenglin Garden, she casually raised her head to look at the sun that was already high in the east, squinted her eyes, and said to Mei Yun who was by her side, "Has your young master eaten all?"

"Not yet." Mei Yun frowned, slightly puzzled, "Master entered the secret room early in the morning before dawn, stayed for nearly an hour, and then went into the main building with His Majesty."

First stayed alone in the secret room for half an hour, and then entered the Donghua Building together with Cang Hao?
"What's in the main building?" Su Modan asked, "Didn't Shu Tong be with them?"

"Donghua Building is the place where the young master handles important official affairs. The young master usually comes up two or three times a month. At the end of each year, the young master will call the managers of various villas to discuss matters in Donghua building."

In this way, it is actually just an office building.

Su Mo nodded, "Find a pavilion outside to rest for a while, I'll go in and have a look."
