Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 315 Heart Attack

  The yard behind is very bright, a pomegranate tree with lush branches and leaves spreads freely, and there are scattered little red flowers that are about to wither.

  Qi Shuo stood still in the courtyard: "We won't go in. Yesterday I went to ask Ling Ai's five playmates, and I plan to ask again today."

   "What does your lord mean, some of those girls lied?"

   "Sister-in-law, don't think too much about it, we'll talk about everything after checking it out."

   The woman's face changed and she wept silently.

   Qi Shuo turned to Liu Zoutou: "Liu Zoutou, please bring those five girls here."

   "Yes." Liu Zhaotou thought that Qi Shuo was too lazy to run, and he was not surprised at all when he thought of the identity of the other party.

  The children of other clans, it's not bad if they don't play horses all day long, how could they run around under the sun like these yamen servants.

   Liu Zhaotou led his men away, and Qi Shuo explained a few words to the woman.

The    woman's face changed constantly, and finally nodded.

  The courtyard was quiet for a while, and the wind blew through the pomegranate tree and blew off a few residual flowers.

   After a while, the woman asked, "My lord, can the murderer of Yan'er be found?"

   Before Qi Shuo could answer, she rubbed her red and swollen eyes: "Little woman heard that a headless female corpse was found in Tianyuan Temple last year, and the murderer has not been found until today..."

   Qi Shuo glanced at Lin Hao.

  Lin Hao comforted in a warm voice: "Skynet is extensive and not leaking, don't worry, sister-in-law, the murderer will be found sooner or later."

   In fact, many murder cases will eventually come to an end, but this is obviously a serial case. As long as the murderer's footsteps of murder do not stop, the possibility of revealing his fault will be greatly increased.

   Not long after, five girls came with the yamen one after another.

   They all looked like they were fourteen or fifteen years old. They were obviously very nervous when they were taken out of the house by the yamen, especially when they saw the haggard-looking woman, there was nowhere to put their hands and feet.

  The woman rushed over and knelt in front of several girls: "I beg you, does anyone know the news about Yan'er, tell me, Yan'er can't even find her head, she can't rest her eyes..."

   How many little girls have encountered such a scene, all of them looked panic, not knowing what to do.

  Lin Hao came over, pulled the woman up and handed it over to Baozhu to take care of him, his eyes swept over a few little girls: "You don't have to be nervous, I will ask you something in the room, you can leave after you answer."

   The five little girls looked at each other, their faces less nervous.

   "This sister comes with me first." Lin Hao casually pointed at someone and turned around and walked into the room first.

  The selected girl looked tense, and she froze in place for a while before slowly walking towards the house with her head lowered slightly.

  The main room is connected to the east and west rooms, and Lin Hao is waiting in the west room, and the west room is Yan'er's room.

  Because she used to come to Yan’er to play frequently, the girl who walked in was very familiar with this room, which made her both relaxed and anxious, and her mood was very contradictory.

   "Sit down." Lin Hao pointed to the stool not far away.

  The girl hesitated for a moment, then sat down cautiously.

   "I ask you a few questions, I hope you can answer truthfully."

   The girl nodded.

   "Did you see Yan'er on the day she disappeared?"

   "No!" The girl answered without hesitation.

"You don't have to answer in such a hurry." Lin Hao's expression was gentle and his tone was indifferent, "Look, I didn't even ask your name, and after exiting this door, no matter who of the five of you provides clues, it will not be revealed to the public. Think of Yan'er's mother who lost her daughter, and of your friendship with Yan'er, I hope you think clearly before answering."

"Really?"

  Lin Hao curved his lips: "Of course."

  Analyze what the little novice said. Yan'er and her companions had a few words that day, but her companions dared not admit it, because she was afraid of being talked about by the public. Fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls have nothing to do with the city, and after eliminating their concerns, there may still be a lot of questions.

Sure enough, the girl's expression was quite relaxed, and she glanced out the window subconsciously, seeing that the window was tightly covered by curtains, she whispered, "I really didn't find Yaner to play with her when she disappeared, but I know that Yaner has often been with Meihua recently. Let's play together, Meihua is the one in the white dress in the courtyard..."

   Lin Hao nodded and asked a few more questions, all of which the girls answered cooperatively.

   "Can I go out?"

   "Sit down for a while." Seeing the girl's puzzled eyes, Lin Hao explained softly, "I'll give you the same amount of time, so no one else can guess."

   The girl was grateful when she heard it: "Thank you, sister--"

   Xu is really feeling safe, her eyes were red, and she burst into tears: "Sister must find out the murderer of Yan'er, Yan'er is too miserable..."

   "Definitely." Lin Hao clapped her hand.

   After sitting for a while, the girl went out and another girl came in.

  Lin Hao said the same thing, the girl who came in dropped her guard like the previous girl and said a lot about Yaner, but she also denied that she played with Yaner that day.

   Until the fourth girl came in, Lin Hao swept over her white silk dress without a trace, and asked her to sit down warmly.

   "I wasn't with Yan'er that day."

   "But they all said that it was you who played with Yan'er the most recently."

   "They're talking nonsense!"

The girl looked angry, but Lin Hao saw that he felt guilty, so he said those words again, and finally said: "Meihua, you are a smart person, you should find that the three of them came in at the same time, and you will be the same later. , outsiders will not know who went to Tianyuan Temple with Yan'er that day. What worries do you have? You are only fifteen years old, do you really want to live in guilt all your life?"

   "I—" Mei Hua moved her lips.

   These words hit her heart like a hammer, shaking her determination to hide it to the end.

   "Plum Blossom, tell what you know, not only can you help Yaner who died tragically find the murderer as soon as possible, but you can also help you get out of the shadows as soon as possible. This is not only for Yaner, but also for yourself."

  Speaking skillfully, every word Lin Hao said made Meihua feel that the government had recognized her, which was undoubtedly a huge pressure for a little girl with little experience.

   "Don't you suspect that the person who went to Tianyuan Temple with Yan'er is the murderer?" Meihua blurted out.

  Lin Hao was sure in his heart, knowing that Plum Blossom's mouth was pried open.

"How could that be? Some monks saw that they were just arguing a few times. Isn't it common for friends to argue with each other? Why kill people and cut off people's heads. The government has long deduced that the murderer must have suffered a change of heart and twisted his mind. man of."

   "Really won't spread it out?"

"I promise."

   "I, I said..." Mei Hua covered her face with her hands, and the pressure she had endured for the past few days turned into tears.

  Lin Hao silently handed a handkerchief.

  The plum blossom didn't pick it up, she wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said, "That day I went to Tianyuan Temple with Yan'er to seek marriage, but when we shared our thoughts by the Free Life Lake, we found that our sweethearts were the same person..."
