Chapter 229 Is it my fault for not eating melons?



After each guest has finished speaking, a discussion ensues and everyone votes for who they think is most likely the murderer.

"It should be the second lady Jiang Ning. If something happens to the eldest lady, in order to prevent the family from being punished by the palace, the second lady will enter the palace in place of the eldest lady. From this perspective, the person who benefits is the second lady." Yu Lei voted for Jiang Ning.

Zhu Jixun and Qi Tao looked at each other and took out a letter from their purses.

"This is the money bag we won from gambling with Eunuch Chen. Inside is a letter saying that the emperor is ill and is recruiting young women of marriageable age to enter the palace in order to take their blood to revive his body."

The new news still has a great impact on the vote. If the emperor has health problems, and if the eldest daughter knows that the emperor has an illness, it is very likely that she will commit suicide in order to avoid such pain.

"The eldest lady is gentle and weak by nature. She is unwilling to face the pain of entering the palace, so it is possible that she will end her life early." Lin Mian said.

For a moment, everyone was unsure whether the young lady committed suicide or was murdered, so they decided to go to the crime scene to take another look.

When they arrived at the eldest lady's boudoir, everyone looked for clues.

Jiang Ning found several letters that had not been sent.

"Looking at the content of the letter, it was written to the lover. That means the eldest lady has been secretly in love with a man outside her family for a long time. So she doesn't want to enter the palace as a medicine inducer, but she also doesn't want to disappoint her lover by hanging herself?" Qi Tao thought, stroking his chin.

Meng Ying picked up one of the letters.

"It shouldn't be possible. The eldest lady told her lover a month ago that she would go back to her lover and wrote this love letter. She died to protect this love. The probability is not high."

After reading the letters, Lin Mian said, "There is too little information to be sure. Let's expand the search area and look for it again."

The guests agreed and expanded the search to the entire house, then split up to look for clues.

After we got back and gathered in the lobby, everyone took out what they had found.

What Jiang Ning found was a bloody knife, and there was indeed a bloodstain in the clothes of Meng Ying's character, indicating that there was an injury there.

"Maybe the eldest lady didn't die by hanging. She was killed with this knife before, and the murderer disguised it as suicide by hanging." Zhu Jixun made Ke Lan's gesture.

After saying that, Zhu Jixun took out a pipe he had found and said while scratching his head.

"I don't know if it will be useful, but I found this one without any dust, and I felt it was evidence left by the production team, so I took it."

Jiang Ning took out the pipe and keenly smelled some other smells remaining on it.

After smelling it, he felt that the smell was a little familiar. He glanced at Chen Lin, and while the other's nerves were tense, he walked over, sniffed twice, and pointed at Chen Lin with his pipe.

"Eunuch Chen's clothes smell of tobacco. This pipe is his."

To Chen Lin, tobacco was something that only poor people bought to satisfy their smoking addiction. How could he smoke a pipe?

After hearing this, I reflexively clarified, "How could I possibly smoke this stuff!"

Jiang Ning and other guests looked at the excited Chen Lin strangely.

"Who is talking about you? I'm talking about Eunuch Chen, okay?" Jiang Ning gave him a speechless look.

[Or does Chen Lin really think that this title fits him very well and wants to claim the label of Eunuch Chen? ]

Chen Lin vomited blood after hearing this.

Who the hell wants to claim it? And his thing is still growing there. He is not like a eunuch at all. He is just a rootless person, okay?

But thinking this in his heart, Chen Lin knew that if he really said it out loud, it would definitely cause people to start discussing the topic of eunuchs. In order to prevent himself from becoming the center of heated discussion on the entire network again, Chen Lin used his ninja skills and endured it!

He regretted investing some money in the show after hearing that Lin Mian was coming. Thinking of Lin Mian's cold-bloodedness and the pain in his body, he felt that he was spending money to bring suffering upon himself.

While Chen Lin was regretting, several other people also took out the clues they had found.

Lin Mian was looking for a few letters, the kind written to the eldest daughter.

"Where did you find Teacher Lin? Could it be that the eldest lady's lover lives in this house?" Yu Lei asked, holding the letter.

The role played by Qi Tao is the same as Zhu Jixun, both of them are servants in the house.

"So Qi Tao knew his identity and couldn't give the young lady happiness, so he deliberately wrote a suicide note to make the young lady misunderstand that he fell in love with another woman?" Zhu Jixun made an exploratory guess.

This is one possibility. After all, according to the content of the script, this family still attaches great importance to family background. It seems normal that two lovers are forced to separate because of their family background.

But if you haven't confirmed it yet, then keep looking for clues.

Qi Tao found a jade ring, and Meng Ying found a string of Buddhist beads.

"I remember that this jade ring was worn on the hand of Eunuch Chen when he came to the house, but it was gone when the eldest lady was found hanged." Lin Mian recalled.

Chen Lin was still a little uncomfortable with this title, but he still followed the script.

"I took it off to wipe my hands at the banquet, and someone might have taken it."

Everyone said nothing and went to look at the Buddhist beads.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"The only person worshipping Buddha in the house is the old lady. This string of Buddhist beads belongs to her." Jiang Ning, who remembered the contents of the script clearly, said.

Lin Mian also started to explain, "The Buddhist beads fell to the ground and got dirty, so I asked the maid to wash them, so I didn't wear them."

Everyone has their own reasons, and it’s hard to tell who to vote for.

After thinking about it alone, Yu Lei changed her vote and voted for Chen Lin, not for anything else, but because he didn't seem like a good person! Chen Lin: "..." I was numb.

Qi Tao and Zhu Jixun also had similar ideas.

Although Chen Lin felt that the latter was most likely just because he was unhappy with him and deliberately voted for him.

Therefore, Chen Lin decisively voted for Zhu Jixun.

Meng Ying voted for Jiang Ning differently. The reason she gave was.

"There was too little inner drama in Teacher Jiang's performance today. Something was wrong."

Jiang Ning was just concentrating on playing games with an innocent expression.

No, not eating melons can also be considered as evidence? Meng Ying nodded heavily. Others would not count, but for Jiang Ning, a melon-eating maniac, it really can be counted!

They also believed that Jiang Ning did not eat the melon while playing the game, so there is a high possibility that Jiang Ning is the murderer!

When the other guests heard this, they also thought it made sense and they were eager to take back their votes and vote for Jiang Ning instead.

But in the end, looking at Chen Lin's gloomy face, which looked as if he was going to poke anyone who came, and Jiang Ning, who looked like a man who didn't do anything scheming but just wanted to get involved, Jiang Ning suppressed his restless hand and voted firmly for Chen Lin.

"It really wasn't me." Jiang Ning cried out like an innocent person.

Then vote for Lin Mian.

Lin Mian also looked at her and blinked, then moved his hand and voted for himself.

Meng Ying and others were stunned and quickly tried to take their votes and vote for Lin Mian, but it was too late. The countdown had ended and the vote could not be changed.

They can only wait for the final result with their heads down.

"Jiang Ning and Lin Mian voted correctly and won a share of the grand prize!"

I'm so annoyed. I didn't expect the word blind date to appear so soon after graduation. Fortunately, the other party has gone to work, otherwise the thought of chatting with a strange boy face to face would make me even more socially anxious. Does it mean that people must get married? Leave a separate world for socially anxious people. Children are afraid.
