Facing the female boss's questions, Li Nanke didn't seem to hear him. He just lowered his head and sipped tea, looking like he was in a state of wandering.
"Li Nanke?"
Leng Xinnan's voice rose a little.
Lin Jiaoyue's attention was also attracted.
From the moment he entered the door, this man lowered his head and said nothing. She just thought he was Leng Xinnan's subordinate and didn't pay attention to him.
At this moment, when I took a closer look at the other person's figure, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Seem to have seen it somewhere?
Let me see a hammer! Li Nanke, who was called out, cursed secretly, but could only raise his head and said expressionlessly: "I have no opinion on my humble position. I will obey your orders in everything."
After saying that, he turned his gaze outside the hall.
Outside the hall stood two young girls.
There is no difference in body, appearance, or even skin color between these two people. They are almost cut from the same mold.
Typical twins.
Although her facial features are not as refined as Leng Xinnan's, they still look delicate.
It was the two sisters Caiyun and Caiyue who Leng Xinnan had specially arranged to be next to Lin Jiaoyue.
"No idea?"
Faced with the man's perfunctory attitude, Leng Xinnan narrowed her beautiful eyes.
The invisible pressure from the female leader forced the man to correct his attitude and asked Lin Jiaoyue: "Miss Lin, when He Qingyu pestered you, what was the attitude of your two sisters?"
The girl said nothing.
Instead, he stared straight at Li Nanke's unrivaledly handsome face.
It was as if he was fascinated by it.
"Ahem..."
When Lin saw this, he thought his daughter was a nymphomaniac, and he couldn't help but cough twice as a reminder.
But the girl showed no reaction and still stared at Li Nanke.
The iron cow on the opposite side is sour.
What do you mean, I, Tieniu, am not bad in appearance, why can’t I see this girl being infatuated with me?
Not knowledgeable!
"Yue'er, didn't you hear what the adults asked you?"
Lin's face turned dark and he raised his voice. He thought to himself what was going on with this girl, she had never been so out of control before.
Is it possible that this pretty boy can confuse people with sorcery?
Lin Jiaoyue finally came to her senses, but her eyes were still glued to Li Nanke: "Have I seen you before?"
Li Nanke looked calm and said with a smile: "Maybe, I am the clerk of Dongqi County Government. I accompanied the county magistrate last time. It is normal for the eldest lady to have some impressions."
"Wu Zuo..."
The girl still looked confused.
She doesn't know why, but she always feels like there's a thin film blocking her memory, as if the answer is right at her fingertips, but she can't touch it no matter what.
"I believe that Miss Lin will look down on He Qingyu."
Li Nanke returned to the topic. "I understand that He Qingyu is pestering you. After all, Miss Lin's behavior will make any man's heart flutter. But what I want to know is how Wan Yingying and Wen Jin'er reacted when they saw He Qingyu pestering you."
The man's praise made Lin Jiaoyue's previously accumulated anger dissipate a lot.
She slightly pouted her rosy mouth and said, "There's no reaction at all. Yingying knows that I don't like him, so she doesn't take it to heart. The same goes for Jin'er."
"On the fourth day of August, why do you go to Lichen Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings?"
Li Nanke asked.
"Yingying suddenly wanted to go, so we went with her," the girl said. "Then she wanted to climb a mountain to relax, so we went to Cuihong Mountain. Who knows..."
The girl's eyes were red and she could not continue to speak. The tears that appeared were full of sadness.
"We have investigated and it is indeed the case."
Guo Gang, who was sitting at the end, said lightly. "According to the transcript provided by Wan Yingying's father, he said that on the third day of August, Wan Yingying said she was going to Lichen Temple to offer incense. On the fourth day of the eighth month, she called Miss Lin and Wen.
Jin'er accompanied her.
In addition, we also asked the monks from Lichen Temple, and they can also prove that they heard Wan Yingying’s proposal to visit Cuihong Mountain at that time.”
Li Nanke tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, and after thinking for a few seconds, he looked at Lin Jiaoyue: "So you don't know why Wan Yingying went to the temple to offer incense?"
"I don't know." The girl shook her head.
"What was her mood like at the time? Did she have any other abnormal behavior?"
Lin Jiaoyue thought about it for a while and then said: "Wan Yingying was in a good mood at that time and there was nothing abnormal. You can also ask her father about this."
At this point in the questioning, the case reached a dead end.
The case can only be roughly sorted out based on some of the information currently known.
Wan Yingying likes He Qingyu, and He Qingyu loves Lin Jiaoyue. Even Wen Jiner may have a crush on He Qingyu...
Three best friends and one man, a typical love triangle.
To say that there is no subtlety between them, even a fool would not believe it.
On the fourth day of August, Wan Yingying suggested going to the temple to offer incense, and then insisted on going to Cuihong Mountain for a visit. In the end, the three of them accidentally encountered a monster.
As a result, Wen Jiner died and Wan Yingying became paralyzed.
Lin Jiaoyue was also injured.
That night, He Qingyu climbed over the wall and went to the hospital to visit Lin Jiaoyue's injury, but was discovered by his servants and kicked out.
Depressed, he planned to go to Baiyun Restaurant for a drink, but disappeared on the way and died at home.
His death was also disguised as accidental soot poisoning.
Who was his murderer? And why did he want to be killed? Did he choose this time period to do it?
It's all very confusing.
It stands to reason that the case could be brought to an end here, but I didn't expect that the rest would be even more magical.
Two days later, on the seventh day of August, He Qingyu was resurrected in the form of a "grave man".
According to the law of the Grave Man, the deceased does not have the memory of death after resurrection, but only vaguely remembers what he was doing some time before death.
So Grave Man He Qingyu naturally went to Baiyun Restaurant to drink.
However, after drinking, it disappeared again.
The next night, Wan Yingying, who had been paralyzed and unconscious in bed, fell into a red rain dream and eventually died.
Later, Lin Jiaoyue was given the red rain drug again.
If Li Nanke hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid this girl would have died.
"Miss Lin, I still have a question." Li Nanke stared at the girl's eyes. "Generally speaking, encountering nightmares means that the person has inner demons. I want to know what your inner demons are."
Everyone else in the room also looked curiously.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even Lin Yuanwai, who is a father, has a puzzled expression.
How could a carefree young lady who has lived in a money jar since she was a child have inner demons in her?
"If you saw your good sister die in front of you, if you were chased by monsters, if you jumped off a cliff...would you not feel scared, would you not have nightmares?"
The girl asked with suppressed emotions.
This answer is reasonable.
The others also nodded, looking at the girl with eyes full of sympathy.
Having experienced such a horrific and tragic thing at such a young age, to be able to stand here and answer their questions at this time is an extremely rare psychological quality.
But Li Nanke felt a little awkward for no reason after hearing this.
He couldn't tell what caused this "awkwardness", but it was just very uncomfortable.
I felt that the other party’s answer was too ‘smooth’.
It was as if the question bank had been guessed and the answers had been prepared in advance.
Just when Li Nanke was about to continue questioning, a shrill scream of terror suddenly came.
The sudden scream broke the tense atmosphere in the living room instantly, and everyone present was shocked.
"It's the backyard!"
Lin Yuwai lost his voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure swept out of the hall in an instant. It was Leng Xinnan.
Guo Gang and Tieniu immediately followed.
Running quickly out of the hall, Leng Xinnan suddenly remembered something, turned around and ordered Caiyun Caiyue and the two girls: "Stay here and don't run around, protect them!"
"yes."
The two sisters hurriedly responded in unison.
Li Nanke originally planned to stay, but he had already chased Tieniu, and his curiosity was so serious that he simply followed him.
When they came to the backyard, they saw several maids and servants running away in panic and forming a chaotic mess.
There was also a dazzling trail of blood trailing in the corridor.
The stone lamps placed on both sides were broken and scattered on the ground.
Before Leng Xinnan and the others could react, a figure flew towards them like a sandbag, and then hit the courtyard wall heavily.
He was actually a servant.
Fortunately, the servant's breath is still alive and he can still cry out in pain.
In the middle of the courtyard, there stood a monster that was more than two meters tall.
The monster has a huge body, its limbs and muscles are tangled and bulging, and the surface of its skin is covered with blood vessels and veins, as if a burst of energy is bursting from its body at any moment.
It has no hair, but it is not bald either, but is densely covered with moss-like growth.
Two fists are as big as a casserole.
The monster's face is also so distorted that it is difficult to distinguish its facial features. A pair of blood-red eyes are like dragon's eyes, emitting a terrifying bloodthirsty coldness.
"It's a monster!"
Guo Gang exclaimed in surprise.
Li Nanke frowned slightly when he saw this scene and quietly retreated behind the crowd.
