Madam is right

Chapter 357 257. Dagger
Liang Zheng continued to ask: "You also found Ji Nianhao's body this morning?"

Li Yi knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, so he could only reply with a trembling voice: "It's exactly..."

"Then tell me what it was like when you found the body."

Li Yi knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and recalled: "Just after Maoshi, the villain finished his last update and was about to go home. When he passed by the Yisi River, he found... he found someone lying on the ground by the river. ..."

Li Yi stopped suddenly as he spoke, his face was a little pale, maybe it was because he was overly frightened.

Mo Zhichu calmly got a cup of hot tea, and when he handed it to Li Yi, Li Yi was startled.

Mo Zhichu said warmly: "You don't have to be nervous, just tell the truth. You don't have to kneel anymore, come and sit."

I have never seen any high-ranking watchman in my life, and now, after hearing what Mo Zhichu said, he got up and sat down at the stone table while thanking him.

Holding the hot tea that Mo Zhichu brought him in Li Yi's hand, he continued: "The villain thinks it's strange, what are you doing lying by the river this early in the morning, when it's still daylight? At first, the villain thought Which drunken man is he? When I took a closer look, I realized that that man... that man actually had a dagger stuck in his chest..."

Li Yi's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and his pupils dilated uncomfortably, looking frightened.

He fell into his own memories for a moment, his face pale.

"The villain took a closer look, you don't know how scary it is! The man's eyes were wide open. His eyes were bloodshot, and he tilted his head to look at the entrance of the alley... It's too scary... It's too scary... "

Li Yi shook his head while muttering.

But at this time, Mo Zhichu discovered the difference between Li Yi's words and Qian Sheng's words.

Mo Zhichu asked: "You said, when you saw it, there was a dagger on the corpse?"

Li Yi nodded in horror: "It's still...the blood, dark red..."

"And what happened after you found the body?"

"This is the first time the villain has seen a corpse in these years... I was really scared at the time... The villain was about to call for someone at the yamen, but on the way, he met a man who stopped the villain and asked him what happened son..."

"When did you meet that person? How long was the interval?"

Li Yi lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "About Mo... make an appointment for a cup of tea..."

Later, Liang Zheng asked some more questions before letting Li Yi go home.

When Li Yi left, it was almost dusk.

Ever since Li left, Mo Zhichu had been sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, thinking about something alone.

I don't know how long it took before there was only one person sitting next to her.

But Mo Zhichu was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't react even if there was one more person beside him.

Mo Zhichu didn't realize until the man called her.

"Chu'er."

Mo Zhichu turned his head to look, only to realize that at some point, Mo Zhiqing was already sitting beside her.

Seeing his sister looking haggard, Mo Zhiqing was very distressed, and said softly: "Don't make things too difficult for yourself, go home and rest first, I heard you haven't eaten today?"

When Mo Zhiqing said this, Mo Zhichu suddenly remembered that he really hadn't eaten until now.

But she wasn't hungry either.

Compared to being hungry, she just felt stuffy all day long.
