looking for sister

The sky looked like it was going to be overwhelmed.

When Su Lian and Xiang Ling walked in, they saw the bright candlelight at a glance. Beside the desk was a pile of ingots, illuminated by the candlelight, looking golden.

"I'm sorry, I'll clean it up right away. I've been stacking these all day, and I've lost track of time." After speaking, Lin Jian stood up, but she didn't intend to clean it up.Because of getting up, the bag tipped over, and a few ingots spilled out.

Xiangling knelt down to pick it up, Lin Jian waved her hand quickly, "You are pregnant, it's better to stay away from these things. Although you are familiar with each other before, after all, after all, Xiangwu has some resentment after all, it's not impossible."

"No...it's okay." Xiang Ling's face turned pale immediately, she turned to look at Su Lian, and was glared at by him.Su Lianben's round face was kind of cute, but with the candlelight under his eyes, his expression seemed a bit fierce.After staring at him, he raised his chin towards Su Mu again, "Isn't there an interrogation? Let's start then."

"I don't know how my parents can agree to such absurd thing as setting up a private residence at home."

"Okay, let's get started, this way please."

Su Mu was standing by Lin Jian's side. He made a gesture of inviting someone, and his expression was as usual. However, Su Lian's arrogance immediately faded away, and his eyes dodged a little, "Brother."

Su Mu responded without any extra words.Su Lian bit the bullet and walked over, Xiang Ling moved a little slower, and was even pulled by him.

The purpose of entering is a screen, still the one embroidered with pink fans.Su Lian still remembered that a few days before the big wedding, when his mother came to decorate the new house, she said it was a wedding celebration.

However, at this moment, Su Lian had no intention of appreciating it at all.As soon as he stood on the side, he found that there were mats on both sides of the screen, other than that, there was nothing else, it had already been pulled out a little earlier.

"This is at home and the conditions are limited, but we just chatted briefly, which should be enough." Su Mu came over, his voice was not much different from usual, and finally signaled, "Go and sit down."

Lin Jianben was at the desk, and now he came over with a lamp, so he could clearly see the contest just now.He motioned to Xiang Ling beside him, and the two sat on both sides as promised.

On both sides of the screen, there is a shadow on each side, which are almost overlapping at the moment.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jian received a signal from Su Mu. He put the lamp aside, knowing that the inquiry was about to begin.

At this moment, he found himself nervous.I don't know if it's for these two people or for himself.

The trick of setting up a screen is really too cruel. People on both sides can't see each other, but they can hear each other's voice.I am afraid that I will be wrong and I am afraid that the other party will be wrong.Under the double torment, there will not be too many people who can persist for a long time, especially Su Lian and Xiang Ling, who are just fledglings.

Lin Jian was thinking wildly, until he heard a voice in his ear, and then realized that the inquiry had already begun.Su Mu asked something he didn't hear, so he stood up straighter, trying to concentrate.

It happened that Xiang Ling was facing him. Lin Jian looked over and found that Xiang Ling had twisted his fingers.

"On the [-]th day, the servant girl did go back with Xiangwu. At that time, the servant girl was very weak and she depended on Xiangwu to take care of her. She looked very happy, but worried, and asked the servant girl what her plan was for the child. I really don't know, at that time That's the same answer to her. Xiangwu didn't say anything, and brought me medicine and dates back."

Su Mu stood in the middle of the side of the screen, standing still, "I was asking where were you that night?"

It was the first time that Xiangling Xu saw such a formation, and his voice immediately trembled, "The maidservant rested for a while, then went back to the west courtyard, and did not come out for the rest of the night. Someone came to look for him the next day, and only then did he know that Xiangling Something happened to her."

"What about the tire-slipping medicine?" Su Mu lit the fire at the right time, and Xiang Wu was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Su Lian, who was opposite him, raised his voice, "You bitch..."

Lin Jian was stunned by the anger inside, but his voice stopped immediately. Presumably, Su Lian also realized that this was not the west courtyard where he was allowed to vent his anger. After a while, he continued, "Where is this child going?" Staying is not something you can consider."

Xiang Ling looked more cautious, and shrank back a bit. Su Mu followed up with another question, "Looking at A Lian's reaction, he should not have known about the medicine beforehand. Then, on the [-]th day , how did you get the injury on your face?"

"It's the servant girl who acted recklessly. When she found out that she was pregnant, she wanted to coerce the second son to give me a title. He couldn't be angry, so he hit me."

After saying this, Xiang Ling slowly raised her head, and Lin Jian met her eyes, ready to shudder, but also forced herself to calm down, "Then, the birth of a child should be more beneficial to you."

"Yes." Xiang Ling continued to wring his fingers, and Su Mu also took up the conversation, "I went back to the mansion on the day of the [-]th, and when I learned about you, something happened to Xiangwu the next day. And you said that you I didn’t go back all night, so when did you hide the medicine? You went to the scene after the murder? Did you see what it looked like when Xiangwu fell? I remember that I was there when Xiangwu helped you, At that time, the clothes on your body were not thick, so there was absolutely no possibility of carrying so much medicine on your body."

Su Mu's question became sharper, and the candlelight made it even more pressing.

Xiang Wu opened her mouth, feeling that her voice was stuck in her throat, and her shoulders trembled a little, "The servant never went back, not even once. The medicine was put back before. The servant suspected that she was pregnant at the time." , I went to the clinic, and the medicine was brought back at that time.”

"Then since you think you can be as valuable as a mother and a child, wouldn't it be contradictory to buy this medicine again?" Lin Jian couldn't help asking, and looked at Xiang Ling again.But a voice came from the opposite side, "You lowly servant girl, you have so many fancy thoughts."

Oh, I said a little more this time, Lin Jian was also happy to watch the show, and hoped that Su Mu would step up and add fuel to the fire, so that he could fish in troubled waters.

"Shut up." Su Mu took a deep breath, so he didn't rush forward to hit the person, he changed back to the previous question.

"On the nineteenth day, I was in the west courtyard. Everyone in the mansion knows about being grounded. As for why, brother should know better."

After many days, the old matter was brought up again, and it was the first time that Su Mu faced this kind of resentment directly.Lin Jian was next to him, and he could clearly see his sullen face, thinking about something, but he immediately relaxed.

However, before Su Mu asked anything, Su Lian yelled, "Brother, do you like sister Lin Tian?"

"We're talking about the case. This issue has nothing to do with the case." Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, and Lin Jian immediately walked towards him. He grabbed the man's hand, feeling warm and sweaty.

Why did Su Lian ask that?For a moment, both of them were a little uncertain.

"Sometimes you really disgust me." It was Su Lian who started the words first, but this sentence seemed to be the end of it all.

Su Mu continued the question just now, Lin Jian leaned on his shoulder, but his heart was disturbed.

"I stayed in the west courtyard all night and didn't come out until half an hour ago. If you don't believe me, you can ask the guards outside."

After this questioning, I don't know whose heart is more disturbed.

Lin Jian looked at the people on both sides, trying to calm himself down slowly.Judging from the situation just now, both of them have proof of their alibi.There is no need to cover up something that can be confirmed with a little questioning, otherwise, wouldn't it be deliberately discrediting yourself?

The point is that Su Lian really had no motive to kill Xiangwu.The matter of the child, whether he wants it or not, is actually just a sentence in his mouth.

But a person who is usually gentle and refined can blurt out such indecentness, and even slapped a girl in the face. He is obviously extremely angry, but such a big contrast seems to be covering up something.

Lin Jian naturally had such a question, so he immediately asked, but he avoided the embarrassment just now, and did not dare to visit him.

"Sister-in-law is a little bit of a grassroots soldier. I saved Xiangling, but she designed to rely on me. What if this happened to you?"

It seemed that Su Lian's loss of control was only a moment.Lin Jian's heart skipped a beat. He knew very well that these words overlapped with what Mrs. Su told him at the time, but was it really a hero who saved the beauty and made Su Lian angry when he fell into such a situation?Or is there some other reason?

Furthermore, he is now a sister, but the other party asks this, what does it mean?

Lin Jian had a fear of being seen through. He moved his finger, but Su Mu quickly shook it back. He naturally heard the meaning behind his words.I don't know if Su Lian targeted them by mistake, or if he really knew something.

But returning to the case itself, Xiang Ling's doubts are more serious.

"Encouraging the girl to come here and asking him to point out that Xiangwu is really wrong with the servant, but this does not prove that the servant has a grudge with her. It is even more impossible to kill someone because of this."

When Xiang Ling was asked later, she just answered this way.

"Then you also stayed with Xiangwu for a while that night, so you can see that she has something made of paper?" Su Mu was also in a state of confusion at the moment, saying this was just a routine inquiry.

However, Xiang Ling's eyes widened, suddenly different from the previous expression.

Su Mu and Lin Jian looked at each other and issued an order to evict the guest.

The two also walked out quickly, but the sound of their footsteps was extremely heavy, especially Su Lian's.

"Xiangling's reaction is obviously not normal."

Lin Jian couldn't hear the noise outside, and immediately moved towards Su Mu.

Su Mu managed to push the screen back and was about to fiddle with the portrait, but was slapped by Lin Jian.

"You saw it too, right? Are you going to play another trick of accumulating fear overnight?"

"Yes." Su Mu didn't hesitate.

"Speaking of such a bad move, have you used it before?"

"No, it's obviously better to pull it into the cell."

"So this can only be regarded as a stopgap measure?" Lin Jian pouted.

After some bickering, the original tense atmosphere was swept away.However, Lin Jian couldn't relax, "Tell me, Su Lian...has he started to doubt my identity? After all, the matter of pregnancy has been exposed. My mother often secretly goes to the west courtyard, and it is not impossible to reveal it by accident. Or I’ve been at home all this time, if I miss something and don’t know it, it’s not impossible.”

"The key is that he also asked, do you like Sister A? Judging from the time, it seemed like he was complaining."
