Chapter 287: Male and Female
The real murderer is about to be revealed!
"When did you find out?" Lin Congyan's brows furrowed slightly.
"Last month!" Zheng Suihe answered without hesitation.
Lin Congyan obviously sensed something was wrong: "Stupid, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"
"If she takes advantage of the opportunity you gave her and informs the outsiders, won't we be in trouble?"
Zheng Suihe also knew that what Lin Congyan said was most likely true. She only realized it now, but it was obviously too late.
Lin Yangyang also became anxious: "Aunt Si, when was the last time she went out?"
"I hadn't seen Aunt Mu for about half an hour before the accident."
After hearing this, everything became clear.
Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly:
"Fourth Aunt, I'll have someone send you to Bianliang to accompany Sister Jingya tomorrow. The situation in the capital is complicated, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
This is the superficial statement.
Lin Zhiqing knew that Zheng Suihe had no bad intentions and was just a poor woman trapped in the backyard. She was obviously unaware of this matter.
But even so, she has a simple personality and is a gentle version of Lin Yangyang.
She was indeed negligent and was someone who was easily deceived.
The current Lin family cannot accept this uncertainty.
Therefore, Fourth Aunt's going to Bianliang was a good thing for both the Lin family and Fourth Aunt herself.
"Good, good, Bianliang is good." Zheng Suihe knew in her heart that she had caused trouble again and again and brought trouble to the Lin family.
Bianliang was indeed a good place for her.
She looked at Lin Congyan, her eyes reddened. "Congyan, take good care of yourself in the capital. I will definitely not cause any more trouble after I go to Bianliang."
"If Yangyang does something wrong, I will discipline her."
Lin Congyan took a deep breath, not looking into Zheng Suihe's eyes. "Once this matter is settled, our family of three will go to Bianliang to reunite."
"Suihe, I can't leave now. Please wait for me."
Zheng Suihe didn't expect Lin Congyan to say such a thing, and burst into tears: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang on the side didn't say much.
They brought Yun Jian back to Shuqing Pavilion.
Lin Zhiqing asked Lin Yangyang to assist her. She filled the entire room with candles and had people play various musical instruments outside the room.
This method of strong light exposure and noise interference is to put psychological pressure on Yun Jian in order to achieve the effect of collapsing her psychological defenses.
After waking the person up with a basin of clean water, Lin Zhiqing went straight to the point.
When Yun Jian heard the name "Zixiaofang", her expression was obviously not right.
Because of this, Lin Zhiqing has been putting psychological pressure on Yun Jian.
In this situation, the more Yun Jian spoke, the more mistakes he made.
She was just an ordinary maid, not a spy with strong psychological qualities.
Until finally, she could no longer hold on and told everything in a sweat.
Yun Jian did indeed pass on news about the Lin family every month. The sister she was talking about had passed away due to illness several years ago.
As Lin Zhiqing guessed, it was she who revealed Aunt Mu's whereabouts.
Because the last time Yun Jian met with the people from Zixiaofang, the task they gave her was to inform them in a timely manner if she heard any important information about the minister.
Following this point, Lin Zhiqing also dug out the contact person of Yun Jian in Zixiaofang.
According to Yun Jian, she always wrote down what she wanted to convey on a piece of paper, then placed it under the inkstone on the counter and left.
The other party would also put the message for her under the inkstone on the counter.
That's how they spread the news.
One time, Yun Jian forgot to pick up the message. When she turned back, she saw an extremely thin man in black taking away something from under the inkstone. The man in black had a small mole at the corner of his eye.
She guessed that was the person she had contacted.
Apart from these, Lin Zhiqing asked Yun Jian about the person behind her and why she betrayed the Lin family, but Yun Jian remained silent.
Seeing that no other information could be found, Lin Yangyang knocked the man unconscious again and hid him.
Lin Zhiqing felt that sitting and waiting for death was not a good idea. She felt that the person who killed Aunt Mu must be in this Zixiaofang!
So, she and Lin Yangyang changed into men's clothes, made some simple preparations, and headed straight to Zixiaofang in the East Market.
The name Zixiaofang is relatively unfamiliar to Lin Zhiqing, but it is very familiar to Lin Yangyang.
She used to like disguising herself as a man and going to these places.
However, now it is an enhanced version of women dressing up as men.
After taking Lin Zhiqing into Zixiaofang with ease, Lin Yangyang randomly found a table to join in the fun.
If you don't pretend, others will definitely become suspicious.
Lin Zhiqing followed behind her, looking in the direction of the counter calmly.
There was no one there except a middle-aged man with a small mustache.
Lin Zhiqing carefully observed the other people in the gambling house, but did not see the thin man in black with a mole at the corner of his eye that Yun Jian mentioned.
Half an hour later, Lin Zhiqing confirmed that the person he was looking for was not here, and left Zixiaofang with Lin Yangyang.
Lin Yangyang's trip was not in vain, as she won a lot of money: "Sister Qing, how is it?"
"I didn't see anyone suspicious." Lin Zhiqing replied.
"Could it be that Yun Jian is lying?" Lin Yangyang was a little suspicious.
"No." Lin Zhiqing affirmed: "From the perspective of psychology, she is not lying."
"Perhaps we came at an unlucky time today, or perhaps... that wasn't the man in black at all."
"Huh?" Lin Yangyang didn't understand: "If it's not the man in black, could it be the man in white or the man in red?"
Lin Zhiqing shook his head:
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, is it possible that the man in black that Yun Jian mentioned is actually a woman disguised as a man to hide his identity, just like us?"
"This... isn't impossible." Lin Yangyang clapped her hands. "If that's the understanding, then the thinness does fit in."
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Let's go check it out tomorrow. I think we'll run into him someday."
"If all else fails, let Yun Jian go. It's possible that person will only show up after seeing Yun Jian."
"Okay." Lin Yangyang agreed.
They all knew that Yun Jian was emotionally unstable, and asking her to lure the snake out of its hole was not a good idea, but this was the only way.
After returning to Shuqing Pavilion, Lin Yangyang went to the side courtyard to check on Yun Jian's condition.
Lin Zhiqing was wondering whether the owner behind Zixiaofang might be the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
As soon as I sat down, a rustling sound came into my ears.
Her eyes lit up. Lu Huai was here!
After making sure that there was no one around, Lin Zhiqing opened the window.
As expected, Lu Huai was already standing in front of the window.
He knew that Lin Zhiqing was concerned about Aunt Mu, so he didn't exchange any pleasantries and spoke directly:
"Ah Qing, I've screened some people who passed through that alley. You can take a look."
"This time, I found a very suspicious woman."
"A girl?" Lin Zhiqing thought to himself, "Doesn't she have a small mole at the corner of her eye?"
