Chapter 968 Clues(2/2)
Xiaohong thought about it carefully before saying, "It should be the third day of April last year. That day she said she would go back to see her parents, but she didn't expect that she would never come back after leaving!"
Jiang Lang turned his head and looked at Qian Zhengbang next to him. Qian Zhengbang hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "Sir, it was March 28th when Lord Xie passed away!"
"It's five days apart, and this time is very suitable!"
Jiang Lang whispered, turned his head and looked at Xiaohong kneeling on the ground again, and then asked, "So do her family know that she is back?"
Xiaohong shook her head and said, "I don't know this, I only know she's back!"
She didn't know that it was reasonable today, and Jiang Lang didn't continue asking here. If Cui'er was the real poisoner, then she must have her motive. If Qi Tianci was behind the scenes, then there must be enough reason to make Cui'er willing to poison. After all, this poison is not just the next time.
So Jiang Lang continued to ask, "So did Cui'er show any special behavior before when she left, or before?"
Xiaohong hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is one thing I don't know if it's said or not. Please don't blame me!"
"you say!"
Jiang Lang said!
Xiaohong then said: "In our yamen, there is a Lord Qi who is very kind to Cui'er and often buys her some rouge and powder. One day Cui'er told me that Lord Qi wanted to marry her. However, I thought she was telling a joke at that time and didn't take it seriously. After all, Lord Qi and our status are too far apart, so of course it is impossible. When she left, she also said something that was done, and she went back to meet her family, and I don't know what to do, and she didn't come back now. As for where she left, we don't know. I also want to ask Lord Qi, but I'm just a maid and I don't dare to ask!"
Although it was a very simple passage, it was a great inspiration for Jiang Lang. Could it be that Qi Tianci used to marry Cui'er as a means of seduction and asked her to poison her and then killed her after she poisoned her? In this case, people would be unaware of it. If no one realized that Murong Yan's death was not caused by his reason, then this matter might be covered up in his life!
Well, this passage provides a good clue. Although this is not necessarily called evidence, it at least proves one direction. So Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for what you said to us, so that you can live here now!"
Xiaohong's face suddenly turned pale and she said, "Sir... I...!"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I am not trying to take you to the cell, I want you to live here, just like staying in the yamen, do you understand?"
Xiaohong was still a little worried, but now she was scared and couldn't say this.
Qian Zhengbang added: "Don't worry, we have no malice. Now you will live here for a while. When the matter is over, we are asking you to go back. Do you understand?"
Xiaohong nodded then, and then Qian Zhengbang immediately called the guards and took her down.
After she left, Qian Zhengbang said: "Sir, I guess Cui'er should be silenced!"
"Very likely!"
Jiang Lang nodded, stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and then said, "If Cui'er was silenced, the clues would be cut off. Well, in this way, you will immediately send someone to check where Cui'er is, and then start from the capital and see if there have been any murders along the way this year. At the same time, you will also send someone to Cui'er's house to see if she is not back!"
"But would Qi Tianci choose not to start on the way?"
Qian Zhengbang also raised his own question. If this is the case, it would be considered a needle in a haystack.
