Concubine Jing Hua: Domineering Nine Thousand Years Old

Chapter 171 The affair is exposed, murdered to silence

When Qin Chenyan's words fell to the ground, everyone had different expressions, but they fell silent tacitly.

"Why are you so cold all of a sudden?" Qin Chenyan smiled awkwardly for a moment, walked to Ye Zhenzhen's side, looked at Xu Chengmo, "Master Xu, continue, I'm just watching the fun!"

Xu Chengmo frowned for a moment, glanced at Ye Zhenzhen, and said, "Liyue didn't slip or fall into the water and died."

Ye Xuyue answered first: "Master Xu, why is he so judgmental?" As she said that, she glanced at Qin Chenyan, and when she saw him coming over, she was secretly happy.

"It rained all night last night, and the ground was wet and muddy. Everyone, please take two steps back." Xu Chengmo said as he took two steps back, then looked down at the ground.

Everyone retreated a few steps together, and followed Xu Chengmo to look at the ground, thinking he was looking for something.

"What is Master Xu looking for?" Ye Xuyue frowned, looking confused.

"Footprints." Xu Chengmo replied lightly, "Everywhere you have stood, there are footprints, and you must have seen them."

The footprints on the ground are messy, although they are not very clear, but it is not difficult to see clearly.

"I see, but what does this have to do with the case?" Ye Xuyue was still puzzled.

"You're so stupid!" Qin Chenyan couldn't listen any longer, and cast a sideways glance at Ye Xuyue, then looked at Ye Zhenzhen, and said with a smile, "My little Zhenzhen is smarter, little Zhenzhen, tell her what's going on Something happened."

Ye Zhen Zhen was stunned when she was called suddenly.

Ye Xuyue took her reaction as if she didn't understand, and she didn't believe that she would understand this, so she snorted softly: "She will know? Don't come out and show yourself."

"Miss Six, I'll let you do the talking." Xu Chengmo looked at Ye Zhenzhen and nodded towards her.

"Okay." Ye Zhenzhen took a step forward, looked at the ground, and said slowly, "Liyue fell into the water, if she slipped or fell into the pond, why are there only two rows of people on the shore to carry Liyue ashore?" footprints, and left no other footprints?"

Everyone followed her words and looked towards the pool.Sure enough, apart from two shallow footprints, there were no other footprints.

"You all saw it with your own eyes just now. Where we stood, there are more or less footprints, but the depth is different." Ye Zhenzhen continued, "The shore is closer to the pond, and the ground will be relatively wetter, but No footprints left, how to explain?"

Qin Chenyan smiled deeply, and looked at her with admiration: "It should be that the murderer was afraid of leaving footprints as evidence, so he disposed of it!"

Tan's face darkened slightly when she heard this, she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, and quietly gave the maid beside her a look.

The maid understood and quietly hid in the crowd.

Yun Xiu's eyes were vicious, she turned slightly, seeing the maid's disappearance in her eyes, and gave Ye Zhen Zhen a look.

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head at her, looked at Xu Chengmo, and asked, "I don't know what Zhenzhen guessed, right?"

Xu Chengmo nodded, walked to the lake, then turned around and looked at the crowd: "Whether it is throwing into the pond or slipping, footprints will definitely be left within three feet of the pond. If the judge is right, this place will be It's the place where the dead fell into the water." He pointed to the location under his feet.

"In order to cover up the footprints, the murderer erased them with something, causing some weeds on the ground to be destroyed." Xu Chengmo said.

Compared with other places, the weeds growing here are almost all wilted, about a foot wide, extending to the path.

"Then Liyue must have been pushed into the lake!" Qin Chenyan folded his fan, raised his eyebrows, and looked thoughtful, "But who killed her?"

"It must be her lover who killed her because she was afraid that her relationship would be exposed." Ye Xuyue followed Qin Chenyan's words, took two steps towards him, and tried to get into his sight, "My lord, you What do you think?"

"My son thinks so too." Qin Chenyan nodded.

Ye Xuyue was affirmed by Qin Chenyan, and the smile on her face immediately became happy: "We must find out that man and bring him to justice!"

Tan Shi's face became more and more cold with Ye Xuyue, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only stare at her.

Ye Xuyue curled her lips and said nothing more.

Ye Zhen Zhen took Tan Shi's expression into her eyes, and thought secretly in her heart.If she hadn't found out that Li Yue's death was not an accident, she would not have reported it to the police.Because if she reported to the official, she couldn't hide the fact that Li Yue was pregnant.

Ye Shaokun has nothing to do with the whole matter, she must not let Liyue's death go unexplained.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen looked at Xu Chengmo with firm eyes, no longer hesitating.

The yamen servant who was assigned to inspect Li Yue's room came over, holding a locked box in his hand, and said to Xu Chengmo, "My lord, I found this from the cabinet next to the deceased's bed, and it is locked." .”

Xu Chengmo walked over, then looked at Ye Zhenzhen and asked.

Seeing this situation, Mu Jin who was beside her stepped forward and said: "My maidservant lives in the same room as Li Yue, this wooden box is indeed hers, and my maidservant often sees her taking it out to look at it."

"Do you have a key?" Xu Chengmo asked.

Ye Zhen Zhen answered: "I think Li Yue will have it."

Xu Chengmo looked at Wu Zuo and motioned him to check.

Sure enough, she found a key in Liyue's purse, took the key and handed it to Xu Chengmo. It was still stained with water droplets, and when the wind blew, it was cool.

The yamen servant took the key and opened the wooden box. In addition to some broken silver, there was also a high-quality jade pendant inside, and he immediately presented it to Xu Chengmo: "My lord, I found a jade pendant!"

"Mother..." Ye Yuhan's face changed suddenly, and the hand holding Tan's hand gradually tightened, full of worry.

After all, Mrs. Tan is someone who has seen the storm. After a moment of surprise, she looked calm, patted the back of Ye Yuhan's hand lightly, and glanced at Butler Qi.

Butler Qi understood what he meant, looked around at the servants who were watching the excitement, and said coldly: "It's all gone, there's nothing for you here!"

The servants heard the words and no one dared to stay longer, so they walked away quickly and left this place of right and wrong.

When the matter developed to this point, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was the Ye family's housework. After all, this kind of jade pendant was not owned by ordinary servants.

Xu Chengmo picked up the jade pendant, looked at it carefully for a moment, then looked at Qin Chenyan, and said, "Your Majesty Yan is well-informed, so you can identify this jade pendant."

Qin Chenyan was about to speak, but Tan said lightly: "No need, I recognize this jade pendant, it belongs to Kun'er."

"Oh? Why is Mr. Ling's jade pendant in Li Yue's room?" Xu Chengmo looked at Tan Shi and asked plainly.

Tan shook her head slightly: "I don't know about that either."

"It's obvious, brother Shaokun must have given it to Liyue!" Qin Chenyan smiled lightly, as if he was sure of everything, "A man's jade pendant has a special meaning. As the saying goes, jade can never leave the body. Brother is so affectionate that he has a private life with a servant girl!"
