Chapter 280 Details Determine Success or Failure
Waiting in advance?
impossible.
No one was sure who was calling Lin Yangyang.
This can only explain one thing, that is, the time when the murderer made up his mind to act must have been after Lin Zhiqing ordered Aunt Mu to find someone.
Then, the only person who knew that Lin Zhiqing had instructed Aunt Mu to find Lin Yangyang was...
Lin Zhiqing looked at Chao Yan and frowned slowly:
"Chao Yan, didn't I tell Aunt Mu to find my cousin and tell you to notify the rest of the Lin family and tell them not to move around?"
"Miss, it is true." Chao Yan nodded.
"Then let me ask you, did you have all the necessary notifications at that time?" Lin Zhiqing continued to ask.
Asagao's eyes moved to the upper left, staring at a certain point in the void. After recalling for a while, she replied:
"Miss, I went to the East Courtyard first to inform the eldest master, then the fourth master, and then Master Jiusi."
"After I have notified all the rooms and returned to Shuqing Pavilion, Miss Yangyang will send someone to inform Auntie of the accident."
"After that, I never left Shuqing Pavilion."
"That's right." Lin Yangyang nodded, confirming her statement.
"During this period, have you told anyone else about Aunt Mu's whereabouts? At that time, only you and I knew that Aunt Mu went to find my cousin." Lin Zhiqing's eyes were very sharp.
"No." She spoke slowly and in a low voice. She was unaware of Lin Zhiqing's intention and was still immersed in the sadness of Aunt Mu's death.
No one else knows... Lin Zhiqing slowly sat down.
Asagao's eyebrows were pressed down, her eyelids were half closed, and her expression and movements were normal.
Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly: "Not many people know about Aunt Mu's search for my cousin. I'm afraid someone took advantage of my visit to the Dali Temple to do it."
"The person who knows this news is very likely the murderer, Chao Yan, think about it carefully."
When saying this, Lin Zhiqing stared at Chao Yan's eyes.
After hearing what Lin Zhiqing said, Chaoyan lowered her head slightly, frowned slightly, and pursed her lips.
This means that she is under a lot of pressure.
It was as if she couldn't find the murderer unless she thought of the key.
This was Lin Zhiqing deliberately putting pressure on Chaoyan.
Because when people are under high pressure, they are more likely to reveal their true thoughts.
If this matter is related to Chao Yan, she will definitely give some feedback.
But the problem was that Lin Zhiqing didn't see any expression of guilt or nervousness on her face.
What went wrong?
Seeing that Chaoyan still couldn't figure it out, Lin Yangyang couldn't help but feel a little anxious:
"Asagao, if you can't figure it out, then doesn't that mean you're the only one who knows? Could it be that you tipped off the murderer?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Yan stood up suddenly, lowered his eyebrows to the center of his face, and raised his eyebrows to the sides of his face.
"Miss Yangyang, what you said is totally unreasonable. The person who died was not someone else, but my aunt!"
There was some grievance in her anger, but there was no anger or shame.
Lin Zhiqing did not stop the conversation between the two.
The reason why she always used gentle words to guide Chaoyan was because she was not sure whether Chaoyan had done anything to betray her.
If Chao Yan had really misunderstood, the estrangement between master and servant would obviously not be a good thing.
Fortunately, Lin Yangyang jumped out. With one of them playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, who knows, they might be able to get something out of them.
Lin Yangyang didn't know what Lin Zhiqing was thinking, so she spoke quickly: "Then tell me what you did that day. If you don't tell me, how can I know if you are lying?"
Chao Yan was also anxious: "When I received the news from Yun Feng that day, I immediately went to the garden to report to the young lady. At that time, only the young lady, my aunt and I were present."
"Wait." Lin Yangyang interrupted her: "I didn't ask you where you found them, why are you saying this?"
After being with Lin Zhiqing for a long time, Lin Yangyang has invisibly learned some skills of mind-reading.
When people explain something, they basically only remember the issues related to that thing and are unlikely to mention a specific location.
Chao Yan stood up and said, "The reason I mentioned the garden is because I fell there and my arm is still bruised, so I remember it vividly."
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves.
She did have a bruise on her wrist.
Lin Yangyang has been jumping around since he was a child, and his body is often covered with bruises. Naturally, he could tell that the injury on Chaoyan's wrist was indeed caused by a fall.
However, precisely because she often jumped up and down, she was very familiar with every brick and tile of the Lin family:
“When I was little, I often went to the garden to play. My father was worried about my safety, so he ordered people to replace the garden path with bluestone slabs.
"There are people who usually clean that area of the garden to prevent small stones from tripping people. It's such a large flat area, how could you have happened to fall?"
"You're lying!"
When Chao Yan heard this, she became a little anxious:
"Miss Yangyang, I felt very strange at the time, too. I had never fallen when walking along that path in the garden before, but that day, for some reason, it seemed like I stepped on something and fell."
"The news was so important at the time that I didn't have time to think about what tripped me. I was just anxious to pass the message to the young lady."
"What did you say?" Lin Zhiqing, who had been calm and composed just now, suddenly changed his expression and spoke first:
"Asagao, think about it carefully again. Try to describe the process of your stumbling as carefully as possible."
Lin Family Garden is special, and Lin Zhiqing is of course very clear about this.
When she first arrived in Dasheng, she found out that someone was trying to murder Lin Yangyang by flying a kite in the garden.
The maids like to play here because it is a very flat place. Unless it rains and the road becomes slippery, the possibility of falling is really small on normal days.
Although this cannot be used as a basis for judgment, Lin Zhiqing does not want to ignore the possibilities brought about by these details.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing speak, Chao Yan's voice was slightly aggrieved:
"When I got to the garden, I found my young lady and aunt were on the other side of the pond, so I quickened my pace to go around them."
"After jogging about ten steps, I felt something strange under my feet."
"However, before I could take a closer look, I fell down."
"When I wanted to see what was under my feet, my aunt and the young lady found me. I was concerned about the news from Yun Feng, so I quickly got up and didn't pay attention to what was under my feet."
"That's the whole story."
After Chao Yan finished speaking, her eyes were a little red: "Miss, I really have never told anyone where my aunt is going. You must believe me."
Lin Yangyang was still puzzled: "But if you hadn't told anyone, how would anyone know that Aunt Mu came to see me?"
"You are the only one who knows this."
"No, there might not be just one of them." Lin Zhiqing said slowly:
"If there were still people in the garden at the time, someone would have had a motive to do it."
