Temporarily restraining his anger, Lu Lingyan carefully checked and recorded the condition of the corpse, as well as any clues he could find.

After she came out, she handed over the records to Mr. Gongsun with a serious expression on her face.Mr. Gongsun immediately flipped through it, and Zhan Zhao asked Lu Lingyan softly, "Lingyan, are you okay?"

Looking at this expression, it is really a harbinger of a storm, I don't know why Ling Yan is like this.

There are only people from Kaifeng Mansion left in this house, and Mr. Gongsun told the matter without any scruples after reading it. Zhan Zhao glanced at Lu Lingyan, no wonder Lingyan is like this.The murderer was really insane. He not only insulted Miss Gu's family, but also killed her.

But thinking about it carefully, even if the murderer didn't kill Miss Gu's family, he might not be able to survive in this strict Gu family.

Mr. Gongsun sighed: "This matter must not be publicized."

"Yes, Mr. Gongsun." If this matter gets out, it won't tarnish Miss Gu's reputation. Even if that person dies, he should be respected.

Zhan Zhao and Lu Lingyan were walking in the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion, when Zhan Zhao suddenly asked Lu Lingyan, "Do you think the murderer will be the man I caught that day?"

Lu Lingyan frowned, and carefully counted the time: "Then Miss Gu's death should be around the same time as I was dressing up. Although it is possible, that person's speed is really fast, cough."

Zhan Zhao pondered for a while: "Whether it is or not, I want to go to the prison for interrogation, maybe I can get some clues."

The place where Miss Gu's family lives is not far from Lu Lingyan's home, so even if that person wasn't the murderer, he might know something by now.

"Okay, then I'll go and see that maid. It's convenient for me to go because there are no female relatives in Kaifeng mansion except the cooking lady." Lu Lingyan said while holding her chin. She really wanted to find the murderer quickly. What she hated the most was Rebellion and picking flowers.

After the decision, the two soldiers divided into two groups, one went to the prison in Kaifeng Mansion, and the other went to the servant girl's side.

The maid was taken to the Kaifeng mansion by the dynasty and lived in the guest room, so Lu Lingyan went to find the dynasty first.

"Brother Wang, can you take me to see that maid?"

Wang Chao was stunned for a moment and quickly realized: "Miss Lu, I've already troubled you enough, you can go back and rest, as long as I'm with you."

Lu Lingyan smiled slightly and shook his head: "No trouble, I also hope that the murderer can be caught quickly, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."

"Well, okay." Wang Chao felt that Lu Lingyan's words made sense, and it was rare for Miss Lu to be so warm-hearted, so why would he refuse.

Bringing Lu Lingyan to the room where the maid was, Wang Chao guarded the door. After Lu Lingyan went in, he closed the door, and there were still some things that had to be said quietly.

As soon as the servant girl saw someone coming in, she immediately got into the bed, wrapped her tightly, and kept trembling.

Lu Lingyan comforted in a soft voice: "It's okay, you are safe in Kaifeng Mansion."

She put her hands on the quilt to lift it off, but the quilt was still pulled tightly.She frowned slightly and listened carefully, feeling the trembling again.

In an instant, she lifted the quilt away without giving the servant girl any room, and the servant girl just sat there, motionless.

Lu Lingyan leaned close to the maidservant's ear and whispered, "Actually, you're not crazy at all, are you?"

The servant girl's pupils constricted instantly, but her body froze when she wanted to move.Yes, she was indeed pretending to be crazy, but since the young lady died, this was the only way for her safety.A madman can't say anything, and if he says it, no one will believe it, so she's safe.

Lu Lingyan raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Why are you pretending to be crazy? Could it be that you killed your young lady?"

In fact, Lu Lingyan knew that this maid would not be the murderer, but she would definitely have clues about the murderer.

"No, it's not." The servant girl retorted vigorously waving her hands, and the reaction was very intense.

Lu Lingyan grabbed her hand and covered her mouth: "You'd better keep your voice down, and don't pretend to be crazy, I can tell whether you're telling the truth or not."

Seeing Lu Lingyan's slightly raised lips, the maid widened her eyes and nodded.

After letting go of her hand, the servant girl cried and said with a sad face: "I didn't mean to pretend to be crazy, I was afraid."

"What are you afraid of? I heard that your lady is very kind to you. If you have clues instead of telling us to let your lady die with hatred, can you live with peace of mind?" Lu Lingyan said word by word, like a hammer. Destroyed the servant girl's defenses.

Tears could not stop falling from the corners of the servant girl's eyes, she wiped them and said, "I, I really can't say."

If you say it, I'm afraid that more than one person will let her die, and Master Gu will definitely not let her go.

Lu Lingyan smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the maidservant's shoulder, then said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen if you tell me, I will help you."

"Help me? What can you do to help me?" The servant girl glanced at Lu Lingyan's delicate and soft appearance. She looked much healthier than her young lady, but she was still a weak woman.

Lu Lingyan narrowed his eyes and smiled, took out a valuable pearl and said, "I can help you redeem the contract of sale, and I can also let you go far away, and no one will know you by then."

"But how can I guarantee my safety here?" The servant girl has good eyesight, and this pearl is enough for her to live a good life for a lifetime.

But money still has to be spent, and what's the use of money if you don't have life.

Lu Lingyan casually picked up a teacup and squeezed it casually. The teacup was crushed to pieces, and the servant girl was startled when she saw it.

"My martial arts are enough to protect you, and Kaifeng Mansion will not let you, a witness, die." Lu Lingyan knew that this maid had too many scruples, but as long as she could get rid of her scruples, he could get many clues.

Things that can be done with money and martial arts are not a problem. She doesn't mind spending money or fighting with someone.

The servant girl seemed to have gained some confidence, and her face softened a little.

Lu Lingyan didn't continue talking, but let the servant girl think about it and make adjustments.After figuring it out, I'm not afraid that this servant girl won't tell her everything she wants to know, she has plenty of time.

The maid sat on the bed and meditated. Lu Lingyan picked up the kettle and was about to pour water when she found that the glass had just been crushed by her.Fortunately, there were no two cups of water, so she poured two cups of tea, drank one by herself and handed over the other.

The servant girl took the tea and drank it in one gulp. After a long sigh of relief, she finally opened her mouth: "Okay, let me say."

"Yeah." Lu Lingyan sat there and listened to the maid while drinking.

The servant girl recalled that it was a few months ago.

One day, she accompanied her young lady to go out to offer incense, but in the temple, she met a man who looked handsome.

The man saw the bracelet dropped by his lady and came over to return it. After chatting for a while, he found that their homes were also quite close.I thought it was a good beginning, but it was actually a tragedy. If they hadn't met each other, maybe the lady would not have died.

Lu Lingyan listened carefully to each word, and when she heard this she said: "Then your lady fell in love with him, so you help your lady and that man exchange heart and soul, and let them meet secretly?"

"Oh? Miss Lu, how do you know?" Lu Lingyan had already introduced himself just now, so the maid changed her name to Miss Lu.

...Can she say that many novels and TV dramas have this plot?

"I guess, you continue."

The maid continued: "Miss wants the man to propose marriage, but the man repeatedly declined and said it was not yet time. Just before Qixi Festival, the man suddenly said that we would meet on Qixi Festival and surprise Miss when the time comes."

"Miss naturally thought that he was finally going to propose marriage to her, so she agreed very excitedly. On Qixi Festival, the master and the others all went out, so I let him in secretly. He entered the lady's room and then I was arrested. Swipe back and leave." The servant girl lowered her eyes, if she hadn't left, the miss would be fine.

But she did so many things for the young lady without telling the master, but in the end she harmed the young lady, the master and the others will definitely not let her go.

Lu Lingyan snorted coldly: "Stupid, a weak woman puts a grown man in like this, even so, at least she has to take some safety measures to protect her own safety."

A martial arts expert like her is naturally not afraid, but she will always pay attention to these despicable methods. When she is caught in a trick, there is nowhere to cry.

Alas, I'm still raised in a deep boudoir and don't know the sinister nature of people's hearts.

Some people can't just look gentle on the outside, but they are filthy on the inside.

"If only Miss Lu was here." The servant girl wrinkled her face again and wiped her tears.

Lu Lingyan let out a long sigh: "Speaking of which, if you tell me this matter now, these are not enough to convict that person."

Because it has been hiding it from all kinds of people, only the servant girl and Miss Gu know, as long as the person is beaten to death and refuses to admit it, saying that the servant girl talks nonsense, there is no way to convict him.

Strong and irrefutable evidence is needed. Of course, even if Mrs. Bao can't convict that person, she can do it without anyone noticing.

"Then what should we do?" The servant girl panicked all of a sudden.

Lu Lingyan curled his lips: "Why are you panicking? Evidence can be found or fabricated, hmph."

It's just that it might be difficult to find evidence, but difficulty doesn't mean that you can't find it. Lu Lingyan continued to ask the maid about some details.
