The Yancheng Evening News published such fanciful content in the most serious and serious language. Everyone was surprised and began to talk about the matter on a large scale.
However, a tabloid made a front-page headline saying that someone inside the Yancheng Evening News had "killed someone" and tried to divert attention by creating the illusion that the victim had escaped.
The front page headline of the tabloid said that not long ago, the police department found the body of a woman. Residents nearby witnessed a suspected love murder. The woman's body only carried a pocket watch. Combined with the content of the Yancheng Evening News, it must be a love object.
Then, Yancheng Evening News pretended to be looking for someone and tried to mislead everyone.
The Yancheng Evening News' missing person notice last night brought attention to today's headlines of the tabloid, and many people bought and read it. They combined the tabloid's yesterday's content and the Yancheng Evening News' yesterday's missing person notice, and everything matched it.
.
There was an immediate sensation.
Everyone in the Xi family discussed the matter again during dinner.
"It was actually a murder of love!" Fourth Master Xi sighed, "Can this person be caught?"
"If it was a love killing, she should be the one who deserves to die. She must have deceived other people's feelings," Du Xueru said.
Fourth Master Xi: "You can't say that..."
The children chimed in, and some of them talked enthusiastically.
Xi Wenlan grabbed the tabloid and read it word by word. Her face was particularly ugly, as if she couldn't understand it. She read the short page again.
"Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Xi Wenlan's back felt cold.
how so?
Fourth Master Xi also asked her: "What's wrong with Wen Lan?"
"I, I'm fine, I'm just a little scared." Xi Wenlan said, "This report is so disgusting, I have no appetite at all. Dad, Mom, I won't eat."
After that, she turned around and ran away.
Fourth Master Xi: "Let her rest. Even if she is hungry at night, she will have a midnight snack."
Du Xueru didn't say anything.
Xi Wenlan returned to the room upstairs, read some newspapers over and over again, and then rang the bell to ask the maid Ah Jin to go upstairs.
"Miss Ninth, the letter was written directly to Master Tao. It really has not passed through anyone's hands." Ah Jin cried, "You believe me, Miss Ninth."
"If I didn't know this in advance, could it really be a coincidence?" Xi Wenlan said with a gloomy face.
"Maybe there is a traitor in the newspaper office, but the secret is definitely not leaked from me, Miss Ninth." Ah Jin almost knelt down to her.
Xi Wenlan suddenly struck back and inserted a needle into Ah Jin's arm.
Ah Jin was so painful that she didn't dare to cry out.
"Trash, you are all trash!" Xi Wenlan scolded.
Everyone's attention was diverted by this tabloid's alarmist article.
Even if the investigation later revealed that the female corpse was not the "heroine" in the missing person notice, the onlookers would not be interested in knowing the truth.
At least today, everyone believes that the woman was killed.
There is no way to establish a connection between the dead person and Yun Qiao.
"Witnessed a suspected murder of love." Xi Wenlan looked at these words and almost became so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Witnessing is witnessing. Why do you still suspect it after witnessing? It is obviously a play on words.
At the moment, she just hates the tabloid. She hates the newspaper for deliberately manipulating the hot topics of the Yancheng Evening News for the sake of sales. At the same time, she also hates the maid for not doing things well, and for handling a small matter so poorly.
Xi Wenlan was still thinking about how to turn the situation around. She was unwilling to spend her own money, time and thought, and was messed up by such a tabloid.
"Does this tabloid take money to do things?" She couldn't help but wonder, "Does the chief writer know Yun Qiao?"
She pricked Ah Jin's arm several times before venting her anger and letting Ah Jin go down first.
At this time, Xi Wenlan didn't know that a bigger crisis had already arrived.
