Chapter 154 Is this a deliberate prank? (Update )
Tao'er sobbed for a while and said, "Before my girl came out of the room, she had been... had been accompanying Miss Zheng Wu. Later, she suddenly said she wanted to go out for a walk. After asking me to touch up her makeup, she went to the back garden.
I followed the girl at first, but after walking for about 25 minutes, she suddenly said she was thirsty and asked me to get her a glass of water. When I came back with the water, the girl... she disappeared..."
Ye Yujun indeed put on some makeup before leaving the room!
She asked Tao'er to get some water, she must have wanted to get her away so that she could go to the appointment alone!
Su Liuyue looked at her closely and asked, "How did she feel when she said she wanted to go out for a walk?"
"It's OK, just... just quite peaceful, no different from usual."
"Before that, did she do anything special or weird?"
Tao Er frowned in embarrassment, and thought hard. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "I remember that before the young lady said she was going out for a walk, she opened the luggage she brought with her. Miss Zheng Wu was in a bad mood because of the dispute with Miss Su San at noon. The young lady was trying to make Miss Zheng Wu happy. Miss Zheng Wu used to like to eat the sesame candies made by our Madam. It happened that the young lady brought some sesame candies as snacks this time, so the young lady wanted to take out the sesame candies to comfort Miss Zheng Wu.
I wanted to take it for the girl, but she was anxious and went to unpack her luggage herself.
I remember that the girl stayed at the luggage for a short while. At first, I thought she didn't know where she put the bag of sesame candy, and I even asked her.
The girl just said that she had found it and that I didn’t need her to come over to help. But after that, the girl stayed there for a while before coming over…”
She couldn't understand why her daughter stayed with the luggage for so long. If you have to say it was weird, it was indeed a little weird.
Su Liuyue immediately exchanged glances with Zhou Yunke.
It seems that the murderer left a note in Ye Yujun's luggage, asking her to meet him!
Su Liuyue asked again: "Is the place where your girl asked you to get water close to this pavilion?"
Tao'er shook her head. "Although that place is also by the lake, it's not that close. When the young lady asked me to get some water, she said she wanted to walk around here. If I don't see her when I come back, don't worry. Just wait there for a while. She will come back."
So, when she came back, she didn't see the girl, nor did she think much about it. She just waited there stupidly.
After waiting for almost two quarters of an hour and still seeing the girl not coming back, he became anxious.
Su Liuyue had asked her so many questions just now that even if Tao'er was dumb, she had noticed something. Her eyes turned red as she said, "Miss, did you... purposely send me away? Just so you could meet the man who harmed you alone!"
Su Liuyue was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, so we suspect that the person who invited your girl here is an acquaintance of your girl, and an acquaintance whom she trusts.
Do you know which of the people attending the banquet this time meet this requirement?"
Tao Er bit her lip and said, "Our girl is quite reserved and doesn't have many friends she can get along with, except... except for Miss Zheng Wu and the others, there is only Miss Zhou Si."
Su Liuyue immediately asked: "Who is this Zhou Si girl?"
"Ms. Zhou Si... is the daughter of Zhou Sizhi. She is my good friend since childhood. She is a very upright person and does not tolerate any injustice. Ever since... ever since I started playing with Ms. Zheng Wu and the others, Miss Zhou Si has ignored me. I was very sad about this for a long time. Until now, I still care about Miss Zhou Si from time to time."
Zheng Qilang, who had been silent since just now, was a little surprised when he heard this, "Miss Ye actually knows Miss Zhou Si!"
He was also the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, so he naturally knew Chief Justice Zhou. Miss Zhou Si was the only daughter of Chief Justice Zhou, and he always regarded her as the apple of his eye.
It turns out that Miss Ye and Miss Zhou Si have such a relationship!
Su Liuyue asked again: "Has there ever been any conflict between Miss Zhou Si and Miss Zheng Wu?"
Tao'er waved her hands and said, "No, the girl always said that with her background, she and Miss Zheng Wu should be from two different worlds. If it weren't for chance, they wouldn't have become good sisters. The same goes for Miss Zhou Si. Therefore, Miss Zhou Si and Miss Zheng Wu can be said to have almost no intersection, and the girl never mentions Miss Zhou Si in front of Miss Zheng Wu and the others..."
Su Liuyue couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Although Ye Yujun was dependent on Zheng Jinyu, she knew what kind of person she was from the bottom of her heart. She never mentioned Miss Zhou Si in front of her, probably because she wanted to protect her.
After asking the questions, Su Liuyue asked someone to take Tao'er away, looked at Zhou Yunke and Zheng Qilang, and asked: "What do you think?"
Zheng Qilang's face looked very ugly, "The maid said that Miss Ye had stayed in front of her luggage for a strange period of time. She must have found something in the luggage, probably a note asking her to come here.
Miss Ye brought her luggage with her, and after entering the villa, she kept it in Qingfengju.
Although they had lunch in the middle, because Qingfengju was the residence of the female family members, the security around it was very strict. If any outsiders entered, they would definitely be discovered.
Therefore, Miss Su San’s previous speculation should be correct. The murderer is a female family member who was also invited here. Moreover, she should be an acquaintance that Miss Ye trusts..."
In this way, his fifth sister becomes even more suspicious.
But...even though his fifth sister is naughty, she wouldn't do something like killing someone!
Su Liuyue glanced at him and shook her head gently, "After listening to Tao'er's words, I feel that it is true that the murderer is very familiar with Miss Ye, but he is not necessarily someone Miss Ye trusts."
Zheng Qilang was startled, his face became a little stiff, "Why did Miss Su San change her mind again?"
Is this a deliberate prank on him?
She was the one who was more likely to say that the murderer was someone Miss Ye trusted, and it was also she who overturned her previous decision!
Su Liuyue couldn't help but laugh, "Zheng Qilang thinks I'm playing a trick on you? That's really unfair. The speculation about the case will change as the case develops.
According to Tao'er, Miss Ye came to the pavilion most likely because she received a note, rather than someone coming to her and asking her to do so.
If it is the latter, then I can say with certainty that the murderer is someone Miss Ye is familiar with and trusts.
But if it's the former...it's too easy to forge a note."
Zheng Qilang reacted immediately, "You mean, the murderer may have used the name of Miss Ye's acquaintance to forge a piece of paper to ask her out!"
"Yes."
Su Liuyue smiled faintly and said, "So, in Miss Ye's eyes, the person who asked her out was still someone she felt she could trust, which is why she later put on makeup and obediently sent Tao'er away to meet her.
Although the murderer hid the note in Miss Ye's luggage, she could not predict who would see the note first. It was unlikely that others would casually rummage through Miss Ye's luggage, but Tao'er would.
Therefore, the murderer did this, obviously not worried that Tao'er would find the note and know the contents on it, which means that the murderer probably did not use the name he used to ask Miss Ye out! "
Zheng Qilang couldn't help but frown.
That is to say, even if Miss Ye could wake up and tell them who asked her out, that person might not be the murderer!
He couldn't help but feel a headache and said, "But isn't this back to square one?"
Not really. It is mostly certain that the murderer is a woman.
But there are already quite a lot of girls invited this time, don’t they have to eliminate them one by one?
The most important thing is...
He suddenly looked at Su Liuyue, "In this case, isn't Miss Su San also a suspect?"
