"What did you see?"

Alan couldn't answer, so he just made a vague whine in vain.

But her face was clearly filled with extreme fear and panic, and all the content that could not be expressed in words was written in her expression, so that her whole body was shaking like a sieve.

She clenched the corners of her clothes tightly, shivering, and took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her sweat. However, because she was too nervous, she took out all the keys and miscellaneous items with her. The jingles rolled down the stairs and scattered all over the floor.

.

She gestured wildly, trying to explain it to everyone, but only the old housekeeper could understand it.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The old housekeeper also changed his expression.

"What's going on?" Yue Dingtang asked.

The old housekeeper hesitated: "She, she is unconscious, you don't need to worry about her..."

Yue Dingtang's face darkened: "Say!"

The old housekeeper was helpless: "She said she just saw Madam. How is this possible? Madam has passed away a long time ago, not to mention this in broad daylight!"

Even though he said this, he still couldn't help showing a look of fear.

The patrolman was still hesitating, so Ling Shu took the stairs three steps at a time and then two steps back to the room.

Of course the room was empty.

They didn't close the windows just now, so the wind blew them open again.

The bed curtains were fluttering with gauze, elegant and soft. Perhaps this was the reason why the maid had the illusion just now.

"There is nothing, you saw it wrong." Ling Shu said.

But Alan hid behind the housekeeper, afraid to come in again.

"Is this yours?" Yue Dingtang came over and handed over the thing in his hand.

Keys, handkerchief, lipstick.

Alan hurriedly took it, but he couldn't hold it properly, and the lipstick fell to the floor again, and rolled into the bottom of the bed.

Ling Xiao bent down to help her pick it up.

When he straightened up again, in addition to the lipstick, there was a ball of black debris in his hand.

It's not pure black, with a little grayish-yellow mixed in here and there. It looks like cinders, but it's definitely not.

Yue Dingtang: "Gongbantu?"

Ling Shu looked at the old housekeeper and Alan: "Your wife still smoked heavily when she was alive?"

The old housekeeper was subconsciously stunned by the question, but Alan was a little flustered and quickly danced and made gestures.

"Alan said that my wife used to hate the master's smoking of cigarettes, but one day he suddenly asked her to buy some cigarettes for her to try. Alan couldn't resist her, so he had to buy them. She didn't see his wife often.

I just smoke it once in a while when I'm in a bad mood, and I don't dare to tell others."

Opium can also be divided into good and bad varieties, and Gongban Tu is the top grade.

Nowadays, among knowledgeable people, everyone hates opium when they hear it. However, the world is in chaos, and orders cannot be banned, so it becomes a piece of paper.

Those who are short of money and addicted to tobacco will smoke pipes after work, while wealthy people will naturally smoke at home.

Ling Shu: "When was it a while ago?"

Old housekeeper: "Alan said about a month ago."

It’s been a month and I haven’t become addicted yet, so naturally I don’t smoke often, but this is already the first step into the abyss.

Just looking at Yuan Bing's current virtue, you can see how heavy smoke can turn a person into a beast.

Who would have thought that Du Yunning, who was good at singing and dancing in school and was admired by many progressive students, would end up like this?

Those laughters and youthful spirits seemed to have happened a lifetime ago.

Ling Shu: "Is this mouth fat yours?"

Alan made gestures.

Old housekeeper: "She said it was given to her by the lady who no longer needed it during her lifetime."

Alan nodded and pointed to the drawer of the dressing table.

Ling Shu stepped forward and opened it. Most of the boxes were filled with various kinds of lipsticks, including imported foreign brands and new domestic models.

Rich ladies these days are keen on chasing famous brand fashion. Since the Chinese market was opened to foreign goods, clothes, hats and cosmetics such as Chanel and LV have become commonplace, and they will compete with each other. Du Yuning's half-box of lipstick is actually not a luxury.

, but compared with the Yuan family's current declining situation, it is a bit ironic.

The old housekeeper said: "Madam is very generous. Sometimes she will bring us snacks from outside when she comes back from a trip. An old servant who has worked in the Yuan family for decades, A Feng, wants to retire and return home. Not only did she pay for several months

With my wages, I also bought some new clothes for Ah Feng."

He and Yue Dingtang went to the small building at the back and asked the Yuan family one by one, but unfortunately they couldn't get any useful information.

After the decline of the Yuan family, the wages that Yuan Bing gave them were sometimes delayed. Except for old people like the housekeeper, others naturally had other thoughts, and some privately took over jobs elsewhere, just waiting for the last piece of driftwood to sink to the bottom.

The trees will fall and the hozens will scatter.

But when it comes to outsiders and colluding with outsiders to kill the mistress, they probably don't have the guts.

There was a lot of noise these days, and the Yuan family was not allowed to go out. Everyone was very frightened. The people in the patrol room questioned them repeatedly, and they had already collected almost everything they needed to ask.

Ling Shu: "What did Yuan Bing say?"

Yue Dingtang knew what he was going to ask, so he shook his head and said, "We have asked all the questions that need to be asked. He and Du Yunning have been living in separate rooms for a long time. They usually live under the same roof, but they don't see each other even a few times throughout the day.

On the day of the incident, Yuan Bing went to the Jinfen Building to find Sister Yao, and spent the night there. He never came back. There was evidence. Also, when we interrogated him, he happened to be addicted to smoking, so we couldn't ask questions at all.

That’s why.”

People who are addicted to smoking will not recognize their relatives, their mouth and nose will water, and they cannot tell the difference between the enemy and the enemy, let alone communicate without hindrance.

Ling Shu: "Has Yuan Bing heard of anyone who Du Yunning has a close relationship with?"

Yue Dingtang: "Yes."

Ling Shu: "Who?"

Yue Dingtang: "You."

Ling Shu:......

Yue Dingtang: "The warlord's daughter-in-law died mysteriously, and his son identified the suspected adulterer as the murderer. I don't have to think about it. I already know what the newspapers will write. This is definitely explosive news. In order to gain attention, many newspapers even include 'suspected'

I won’t add two words.”

Ling Shu said angrily: "For my precious little life, I want to solve the case as soon as possible more than anyone else."

Yue Dingtang patted him on the shoulder: "There is a long way to go."

Ling Shu: "Where are Yuan Bing's relatives? I remember that the Yuan family is a big family. After Yuan Bingdao died, although the family property was left to Yuan Bing, Yuan Bing still had several aunts. There were many lawsuits at that time, and some of these people also committed murder.

motivation."

Yue Dingtang: "Yuan Bingdao has three sisters. The eldest sister is married to the United States, the second sister is in Hong Kong, and the third sister was the one who was involved in a lawsuit with Yuan Bing at the time. She contracted an illness and passed away last year. She has no children, so there is nothing suspicious."

While talking, the two of them went downstairs and prepared to get in the car.

Yue Dingtang raised his head and looked back at the balcony on the second floor.

That was Du Yunning's room they had just visited.

There was a lot of traffic and people coming and going in front of the door. Day and night, Du Yunning looked at the prosperous world from here.

Her soul has long been imprisoned in this gorgeous cage.

I long for the outside world but don’t have the courage to escape. I envy the wings of freedom but are reluctant to let go of the extravagance I am used to and enjoy.

Her fate was almost destined as early as when she obeyed her parents' orders and married into the Yuan family.

But, the moment he raised his head, there was a flash of lightning.

Yue Dingtang's expression suddenly changed!

Ling Shu was about to tell Yue Dingtang that he wanted to go back to sleep, when suddenly a strong force came from the direction of Yue Dingtang. He was pushed and thrown, and fell heavily to the ground.

He didn't even have time to react. His shoulders fell to the ground and he was stunned.

"You fucking——"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang!

Where they were standing just now, there was a flower pot.

The pottery pot was broken into several pieces, and the soil and branches and leaves were scattered on the ground, scattered, incomplete and broken.

Without the protection of the soil, the delicate rose died on the spot and refused to rest in peace.

"Mr. Yue! Are you okay?"

The patrolman looked frightened.

If Yue Dingtang hadn't looked up and looked back just now, and if his reaction had been slower by half a second, the flowerpot would have been smashed down, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
