Lianxiang smiled slightly. "Half a month ago, Lianxiang and her sisters went to the Queen Mother Temple to burn incense, but when they came back, they couldn't find it. Maybe they lost it at the Queen Mother Temple, or maybe they lost it on the way. I even asked Xiaohong to look for it for a long time! It's just a pity that she couldn't find it. But I didn't expect it to be in Mr. Shi's hands. No wonder Xiaohong couldn't find it."
Half a month ago?
Hearing this, An Tingyu's sharp eyes flashed with a deep feeling. That happened long before the crime. Could it be that this hairpin was picked up by a woman? And this woman was also implicated in the dead jailer. In this case, Lianxiang had nothing to do with the jailer's death?
"Since Mr. Shi is here to return it, Lianxiang would like to say thank you!" Lianxiang said again at this time.
An Tingyu dodged Lianxiang's outstretched hand and said, "I'm sorry, the item must be returned, but not now, because this hairpin has been implicated in a murder case. So Miss Lianxiang, please wait until we close the case before taking it back!"
"Murder? Could it be that Mr. Shi is looking for me because he suspects Lianxiang?" Lianxiang looked surprised, then panicked and said quickly, "Lianxiang is just a woman. I don't even dare to kill a chicken, so how could I dare to kill someone? Please don't blame this on me. I don't want to get into trouble with the law."
"Miss Lianxiang, don't worry. As long as it wasn't you who did it, no one would dare to blame you. But if it was you who did it..." An Tingyu curled her lips coldly, a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes, "Those who hurt my loved ones will end up in the end."
"I'm sorry to bother Miss Lianxiang today, Dangyan!" After saying that, An Tingyu stood up and left without waiting for Lianxiang to speak.
Behind him, he put the gold leaves on the table without saying a word and left.
"Miss An, why did you tell Lianxiang such an important thing? What if she really is the murderer, wouldn't she hide far away?" Fengyun said meaningfully after walking out of Yihongyuan.
The hairpin is related to the murder case. This is information that should not be disclosed before the case is fully revealed. However, An Tingyu directly told the suspect. Is this clearly telling Lianxiang to be on guard?
An Tingyu glanced at Fengyun indifferently, "Lianxiang is just a prostitute. Even if you question her, she will probably say that she just had an abnormal relationship with the jailer. What can you do with such an answer? So this hairpin can't be used as solid evidence at all."
"So I found a useless piece of trash? All my efforts were in vain?" Feng Yun said disappointedly. He thought it was a new development, but it turned out to be of no use at all.
"That may not be the case!" A shrewd look flashed across An Tingyu's sharp eyes, and then she waved her little hand to Fengyun. Fengyun was a little confused, but still leaned over and turned his ear towards her.
"We can do this..."
In the early morning, dew moistened the earth, the sky was filled with white light, and the morning sun rose in the east. A slender figure disappeared from the windowsill and quietly came to an old mansion.
"What did you say?" In the secret room of the mansion, a cold voice broke the silence of the early morning.
"Master Imperial Master, I'm sorry. Lianxiang left traces when she lured that man to his death. Last night, a man named Mr. Shi came with Lianxiang's hairpin. Lianxiang wanted to deny it, but there was only one hairpin in the whole city. If Lianxiang denied it, it would only arouse suspicion, and Lianxiang's identity could also be used as a cover, so..."
Fu Mo glared at her with his sharp black eyes, "Besides these, what else is left?"
"No, there's only that hairpin, but..."
"But what?"
"There is someone around this Mr. Shi that Lianxiang is very concerned about, because he is Miss An's personal bodyguard Dang Yan. But Dang Yan suddenly became Mr. Shi's servant, which made Lianxiang a little concerned, so Lianxiang suspected that this Mr. Shi might have been sent by Miss An." Lianxiang analyzed. There was another person accompanying him at the time, that was Fengyun, the behind-the-scenes boss of the weapons store. Fengyun had business dealings with An Tingyu. She didn't think this person was a big deal, but the appearance of Dang Yan made her feel strange.
"Dang Yan?" Fu Mo frowned secretly. "He is a very proud man. It is indeed puzzling that he would serve as a servant to someone other than Mr. An and An Tingyu."
Fu Mo pondered for a while, then said: "Tell this master what Mr. Shi looks like."
As if she had anticipated his question, Lianxiang took out a portrait she had already drawn. "This is Mr. Shi. I drew this Mr. Shi after they left last night. He's probably not from Tianmen. I've investigated the high-ranking officials and nobles of Tianmen, but I have no information on this Mr. Shi."
Looking at the portrait, Fu Mo suddenly laughed, "It's not that you don't have her information, it's just that she is smarter than you, but... no matter how smart she is, she can't escape the eyes of this master."
"Master Imperial Master, do you already know who this Mr. Shi is?" Lianxiang was a little surprised.
"Make her eyebrows thinner, remove the red mole between her eyebrows, and make her lips thinner, and then see who she is."
Hearing this, Lianxiang was doubtful, but she still repainted it according to his instructions. However, with each stroke, she became more and more frightened, "Is it... is it Miss An?"
"My teacher has been with her day and night for three years, and her appearance is incredibly familiar to me, not to mention that she looks so much like her mother. Seeing those eyes and the words you mentioned, I thought of a possible disguise. I just didn't expect her makeup skills to be so impressive. If I weren't so familiar with her, I probably would have fallen for her tricks."
"So what should we do now? Miss An is not easy to deal with!"
Fu Mo supported his chin elegantly, thinking for a while before saying, "Since she told you that the hairpin is related to the murder, then she has no evidence. So as long as you don't make any more mistakes, she can't do anything to you. Don't take any action in the near future. In two months, as long as An Tingyu can't find anything, the An family father and son will die."
