Chapter 1088 Who Is the Murderer?
This courtyard was kept airtight. After entering the main hall, Lianyi saw three young masters from the Wen family, as well as a majestic man with gray hair.
In addition to her, there were also Hong Ling'er and Song Jia in the main hall. They seemed to have entered the main hall one step ahead of her.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start!"
The white-haired man glanced at the three people in Lianyi and said calmly.
"Yes, Great Elder!"
Lianyi looked straight at Wen Shirui with the expression of a Zhang Er monk who was confused.
Wen Shirui did not respond to the ripples, but took a step forward and said:
"My father was assassinated last night and is still unconscious from his injuries. Wenjiabao is temporarily closed. No one can leave here until the murderer is found."
"What does this have to do with me? I stayed in Ziyun Garden last night and didn't go out."
Lianyi frowned.
"Miss Hua, please be patient and take a look at what this is."
Wen Shirui said calmly, then waved his hand, and a guard came over carrying a tray with a blood-stained handkerchief inside.
"Eh? Isn't this my handkerchief? Why is it here?"
Lianyi asked doubtfully.
"My father was holding this handkerchief in his hand before he fell unconscious."
Wen Shirui said softly.
"You doubt me?"
Lianyi immediately lowered his face and said displeased.
"Miss Hua, this is your belongings. Why did it appear in my father's study? Please explain."
Wen Shirui asked still calmly.
"Is there any explanation for this? Someone must be trying to frame me! I have been staying in Ziyun Garden since I entered the Wen Family Fort. Miss Ben doesn't know whether the Wen family's study room faces south or north!
Even if I knew it, how could I get past so many guards? Is it possible that the Wen family's guards are just decorations?
Besides, I have more than just this one handkerchief. I change one every day. After using it once, I won’t use it a second time. Just now, Manager Wen Ying brought the box where I put the handkerchief and purse. You can Check it out.
I am not the only one who has access to the handkerchief. The two maids who serve me in daily life can also have access to my handkerchief. They were arranged for me by Wenjiabao. Who knows whose instructions they received.
Besides, if I want to kill someone, why would I carry something like this with me that reveals my identity? "
Lianyi picked it off cleanly in just a few words. Finally, she looked at Wen Shirui, raised her lips, smiled, and said meaningfully:
"Master Wen, you should be able to find out whether I left Ziyun Garden last night!"
Wen Shirui coughed lightly and did not respond. Instead, he turned to Hong Ling'er and asked lightly:
"Miss Hong, why did you leave Xianyun Garden last night?"
"I just couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go for a walk, and then I saw this"
Having said this, he glanced at Ripples before continuing:
"I saw a dark shadow flashing, and it seemed that it was entering Ziyun Garden, so I subconsciously chased after it to see what happened, but I lost track.
When I wanted to go back to the yard to find the maid, I found that I couldn't enter the yard."
"Hong Ling'er, please stop throwing the shit basin at me. You are a guilty thief and want to divert trouble to others. Are you sure that the man in black jumped into my yard?"
Ripple asked with raised eyebrows.
"I"
Hong Ling'er looked at Lianyi's determined expression, lowered her eyes and thought, seeming to have noticed something, and immediately whispered:
"Perhaps I was preconceived. After all, the direction the man in black went to was not only Ziyun Garden but also Luoyun Garden."
Song Jia, who had been serving as the backdrop, also raised his head at this time, his almond-shaped eyes full of surprise:
"I asked the maid to light some soothing incense before going to bed. I slept until dawn and had no idea what happened. I was brought here after breakfast. I don't know anything."
The hall fell silent for a moment.
How could Lianyi make the scene cool down? With such a good opportunity, she would naturally cause trouble:
"First Elder, First Young Master Wen, I can understand why you doubt us outsiders because Master Wen is injured. After all, it was only after we entered the inner courtyard that something happened to Master Wen. It is reasonable to suspect that we are reluctant.
But the three of us are not orphans, but were brought in by Wenjiabao. We are the future Mrs. Wen. You cannot accuse us unjustly without sufficient evidence.
And in my opinion, the injury to Patriarch Wen was most likely caused by someone in your fort. After all, there are not many people who are familiar with the environment, were not discovered by the guards, and were not guarded by Patriarch Wen. "
Everyone in the hall fell into silence after hearing Ripple's words. In fact, they also had speculations in this regard, just because when outsiders were present, they naturally had to check the outsiders first.
"The murderer might have used the three of us to distract you so that he could escape easily."
Lianyi spread his hands and said.
Wen Shirui took a deep look at Lianyi and did not answer. He just glanced at the guard beside him, and the guard quietly retreated.
Wen Shixuan suddenly said:
"Actually, there is another way to find the murderer."
"Shixuan, what can I do?"
The great elder asked.
"As long as my father wakes up, he will naturally know who the murderer is."
"But the master of the house has fallen into a coma. Are you sure you can revive the master of the house?"
"Yes, it's just that I'm short of some medicine."
After Wen Shixuan finished speaking, he looked at Ripples.
Ripple rolled her eyes and understood what the other party meant, but she didn't answer.
"What kind of medicine? Have you ordered someone to find it?"
"You can't find it outside, only Miss Hua has it in her hands."
Wen Shixuan told the truth.
As the words fell, everyone in the hall looked at Lianyi, and Lianyi curled her lips and said with a smile:
"It turns out that I am thinking about the Purple Cloud Flower in my hand. It's not impossible. It's just that the medicine in my hand is too precious. If I were asked to donate it for free, I wouldn't be willing to do it."
"What does Miss Hua want?"
"I told the three Young Masters Wen that Zi Yunhua is my dowry. If Young Master Wen marries me, I will naturally be willing to use it to save people. After all, the head of the family is also my father-in-law, so there is no need to talk about anything else."
Lianyi said decisively.
After hearing this, Wen Shixuan turned to look at his eldest brother, trying to get him to make up his mind. After all, there was only one Ziyun flower, and he would not be able to relieve the cold poison for his eldest brother after saving his father.
"This matter needs long-term consideration. Before the murderer of the family head is found, the three young ladies will feel aggrieved for the time being."
The great elder waved his hand, and the black-armored guards led the three of them out of Wenjiabao's meeting hall. The three of them were taken to the dungeon and were given single room treatment.
After entering the dungeon, the three of them remained silent, as if the dispute in the main hall had never happened.
In the middle of the night, when everything was quiet, a burst of white smoke was blown into the dungeon, followed by a "Gada" sound, the door lock was opened, and a black shadow flashed into the cell where Lian Yi was, reaching out to touch Lian Yi's waist.
Lianyi opened her eyes suddenly, grabbed the other person's hand, and sneered:
"Why are you so restless? Do you think I will carry the Purple Cloud Flower with me?"
The masked man knew that he was exposed, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and the sword in his hand stabbed directly at Ripple's chest.
Dear friends, yesterday Fengling's back hurt so much that it almost broke. She lay in bed all day. Today she felt better and got up to code. I will upload four chapters first, and then upload the fifth chapter once it is coded. Thank you all for your patience.
