Chapter 153 Surfaced
Aunt Tingwan followed the instructions without hesitation and indeed found a bag of food from the maid's body. "Sixth Miss, look at this."
Su Nianwei looked around and saw that no one spoke for her, so she let Qing Ning search her.
Soon, Qing Ning also made a discovery: "There are some here too."
This time, before anyone could question her, Su Nianwei said casually, "What's the big deal? I just feel sorry for the stray cat and feed it occasionally. Sometimes, if I forget, Xiaoju will help me feed it."
"Since you feel sorry for it, why don't you just take it in?" Su Shengsheng asked back. She ignored Xiaoju, whose mouth was blocked and could only make "woohoo" sounds.
This time, Su Nianwei kept silent.
Without giving her another chance to argue, Su Shengsheng said coldly, "The footprints here are clearly visible. The wild cat has never been here. We can just wait for it to show up."
As she spoke, she approached Su Nianwei, who had a complicated expression on her face, and looked directly into the dark light in her eyes. "Seventh sister, this is the last chance I'm giving you."
Su Nianwei's expression changed, but she just glanced at Su Shengsheng coldly, then looked at Xiaoju, whose mouth was blocked and whose eyes were full of fear.
Everyone knew that if the wild cat was caught, one of them would definitely be the culprit.
Now, she could only gamble that the other one would not recognize her.
Jiao was still a little hesitant at first, but now all the signs pointed to Su Nianwei, how could she still hold back?
She suddenly pounced on him, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Why are you trying to harm my daughter? What deep hatred do you have against her? Why would you use such despicable means to destroy her?"
Although the footprints just now were a bit messy, only Su Nianwei's footprints were rushing straight towards this side.
Moreover, she seemed uneasy in the house.
The maid had to serve her master during the day and could not move around freely, but she came here frequently.
The reason why Su Shengsheng chose to implement this plan during the day was because this thing would be exposed at night.
If she was not 50% sure, she would not dare to activate this plan easily, because this was her only chance to seize the opportunity to cooperate with both inside and outside.
Presumably, the people she arranged were only paying attention to the possible communication between inside and outside, but did not notice that the two people were feeding wild cats during the day.
Su Nianwei looked angrily at Su Jingshan, who couldn't believe it, and asked, "Father, don't you believe your daughter either?"
Su Jingshan was shocked and confused.
Her dying struggle fell into the eyes of the silent Old Master Su, making him even more heartbroken: "Don't you want to admit it?"
At this moment, a wild cat suddenly jumped out of the cave and pounced on the food spread on the ground.
Although Qing Ning was startled, she quickly caught the wild cat.
Soon, her face was shocked: "Miss, there is a letter!"
Everyone's faces were shocked and they gathered around.
In the light of the lantern Ning Yu was holding, Su Shengsheng could clearly see the contents of the note: "Poison."
Just two short words can make people feel cold in their hearts.
There is nothing outside of this.
But everyone's faces had darkened like the dark night outside.
"Could it be that they wanted to create the illusion that Yuan Ling couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide?" Zhong asked the question in her mind.
If Su Shengsheng had not caught the person in the act today, even if Su Yuanling's condition had improved today, once she died, everyone would only think that she passed away peacefully to say goodbye to her family, and would never think that she was murdered by someone.
Su Shengsheng stared at the note with her dark eyes, then looked at Su Nianwei, whose face was gloomy. "It doesn't matter who it is, it's fine, right?"
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed and they all looked back at Su Nianwei.
Qing Ning took a look and said, "Miss, I will go search the house again."
Since there is no poison in the cat, then this thing is still in Su Nianwei's hands.
Su Shengsheng returned her gaze to the cat in Qing Ning's arms. "Paint it all over with fluorescent powder, then release it. Have Brother Bao send more people to follow it."
Qing Ning responded quickly and hurried away with the cat.
Su Shengsheng turned to look at Su Nianwei, who was unusually quiet. Seeing that she still didn't speak, she asked Ning Yu to remove the cloth blocking Xiaoju's mouth.
But unexpectedly, a sharp whistle-like sound came out of the woman's mouth.
At this moment, Qing Ning had just found Brother Bao and released the cat. She immediately shouted in panic, "Miss, the cat hit the wall and died!"
Upon hearing this, Jiao Shi became extremely anxious. She rushed forward and slapped the woman hard, "It's you, you actually wanted to harm my daughter!"
The woman, whose head was turned to the side after being hit, let out a low, strange laugh from her throat. She slowly turned her head and stared at Su Shengsheng.
However, she didn't say a word. Suddenly, her whole body twitched and she fell straight to the ground.
Su Shengsheng was shocked, and Ning Yu, who had been on guard, became even more flustered.
Everyone was also shocked and didn't understand why the man's tongue, which was obviously fine, suddenly died.
At this time, Brother Bao followed Qing Ning back and saw the sudden scar on the woman's wrist. He walked forward a few steps.
He drew out his dagger and gently cut open the scar.
Unexpectedly, there was a mechanism hidden inside.
"I once heard my eldest brother mention that some people hide venom in their bodies, and once the mechanism is triggered, they will die instantly. I didn't expect to actually see it today..."
He lifted up a delicate mechanism, wrapped it in cloth and sniffed the black venom, "It seems to be snake venom."
People who hunt in the mountains all have some knowledge about poisonous snakes.
Upon hearing this, Jiao and the others turned pale. "Who is this person? He's so scheming..."
As they spoke, everyone looked at Su Nianwei, who had a smile on her face, and felt terrified.
Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, Su Nianwei looked aggrieved. "Grandfather and grandmother, luckily this man was found by Sixth Sister. I can finally be cleared of all charges."
Su Shengsheng gasped slightly.
She didn't expect it to be so tricky.
Even though I was so careful, I still missed...
She ignored Su Nianwei's provocation and looked down at the woman whose pupils were dilated.
Is she actually a beast tamer?
Who on earth is that person and why is he targeting her?
Also...
She raised her head again and looked at Su Nianwei, who looked relaxed, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Even Su Jingshan, who was usually not very sensitive to things, noticed that there was something wrong with his third daughter's expression.
"Did you actually do it? Why don't you confess the truth?"
Su Nianwei still looked innocent in the face of her father's questioning. "Father, this is not the time to talk about this, right? This woman didn't sign a death contract, and now she's gone. I don't know if the government will suspect us of beating and killing a maid."
The light words made Su Jingshan's face change drastically in an instant, "You...you..."
After saying this, she looked at Jiao, who had a bad face, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can report it to the authorities and have them investigate me."
She looked innocent, but this angered Jiao, "You killed my daughter, I will kill you and give you my own life as compensation."
Just as Jiao rushed forward and grabbed Su Nianwei's neck tightly, and everyone was in chaos, the men of the Su family happened to rush back from work.
When they saw the situation in the yard, they were shocked and hurried forward to separate the two.
"It was her, Su Nianwei, who colluded with outsiders to harm our daughter... Woo woo..." When Jiao saw Su Ruilin coming back, she could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears.
Su Nianwei knelt on the ground crying, "Uncle, you are back. I just fed wild cats for a few days, and Auntie misunderstood me." After saying that, she turned to look at Su Hengji, who looked confused, "Brother, Sixth Sister also misunderstood that I was going to harm Fourth Sister. Please help me."
"Grandfather, what's going on?" Su Yuan was holding his fourth sister, whose face was pale and her body was shaking, and looked at Old Master Su.
Su Shengsheng exhaled and met Su Nianwei's pleading eyes, "Then let's report it to the police."
After saying that, he didn't allow anyone to disturb the scene and directly asked Brother Bao to ask County Magistrate Sang to bring people to deal with the matter.
…
"General, something seems to have happened to the Su family. Miss Su's people are keeping a tight rein outside, so our people can't get close. But we saw Bao Er rushing towards the county government office."
