Chapter 81 81 Shi Mansion
To investigate a murder case, you have to find the motive.
As a coroner, Su Yan is used to being treated as a constable.
Yan Zheng is searching the mansion, and someone has to interrogate the people in the mansion, so Su Yan is the only one who can offend people.
If it was any other case, she wouldn't want to be too conspicuous, but Shi Fu was an exception.
This case is a good opportunity to find out the origin of the jade pendant.
Su Yan was extremely positive, "Your Highness, I need someone to take over the blame, you have to come with me."
Liang Yi said excitedly: "Of course I am willing to join you... Uh, what do you want to take the blame for?"
How did you pick up the pot?
Shi Yangui said: "I need to be there."
Liang Yi said: "Of course you have to be here, we can't do without you."
Su Yan refused: "You can't."
"Why?"
"You also met the old lady three days ago," Su Yan said confidently, "You are a criminal suspect. What if I ask you to listen to other people's confessions and frame you?"
Liang Yi: “…”
She dares to say anything now.
"How could Brother Yan Gui be the murderer? He has no motive to kill."
Su Yan did not back down, "On the surface, other people have no motive either."
Liang Yi can never win an argument with Su Yan.
Jiang Yun hasn't left Shi Mansion for ten years, so the possibility of him making enemies with outsiders is low.
She is old, and even in the Shi Mansion, she has limited room for movement.
The person who poisoned Jiang Yun must understand the properties of mercury and would not be an ordinary person.
Most of the maids and servants in the Shi family were illiterate, and the few who could read only learned a few common words from their masters.
The source of the poison is also a problem. Su Yan asked Feng Tu to check the people in the mansion who had contact with the clinic, and then took Liang Yi to meet other people in the Shi Mansion.
The main house in the courtyard where the old lady lived became their "interrogation room", which provided an opportunity to see their first reactions.
The first person brought here was Shi Yanqing.
Shi Yanqing is about the same age as Shi Yangui. He spends the whole day doing nothing in his house and is a well-known playboy in the capital.
Others always have to give in to Shi Yanqing for Shi Yangui's sake, but in fact he has already made countless enemies.
Shi Yanqing didn't even take Liang Yi seriously. After entering the main room, he said in a strange voice: "Grandmother died, which fulfilled his wish."
Su Yan asked: "What does the eldest young master mean?"
Shi Yanqing raised his eyebrows and planned to make some arrangements.
The one who interrogated them was just a little maid, no older than twenty years old. If it weren't for her pretty appearance, she would have been no different from the other maids in the Shi Mansion.
Shi Yanqing smiled frivolously, "Who else could it be? Of course it's my third uncle. Little coroner, go back and tell your boss that my third uncle has been at odds with my grandmother for a long time."
Su Yan said politely: "I will convey it truthfully."
Shi Yanqing sneered, she was indeed just a useless girl.
He was about to perform according to the choreographed speech when he heard a voice similar to Su Yan's - "You are going to start telling lies and playing people like fools."
"Little did they know that he was the stupidest person."
"I guess he thought his title was taken away from him and he hated Shi Pei, so he dragged him into this."
"Well, let's hear what he's going to say."
Shi Yanqing: "..."
Liang Yi urged: "What are you standing there for? Speak quickly."
Shi Yanqing: "..."
Su Yan still looked respectful, "Master, please go ahead."
Shi Yanqing heard again - "It's really troublesome that I can't even make it up."
Shi Yanqing: "I..."
What was he trying to say?
It took Shi Yanqing a long time to recover from his shock.
Because Liang Yi was there, Shi Yanqing didn't dare to do anything to Su Yan. He heard that the young prince was very partial to his friend who was a coroner.
"I am, how should I put it, this..."
Liang Yi asked: "Don't you understand?"
Shi Yanqing: "..."
"How can this be a fabrication?" Shi Yanqing finally regained some of his memories. "Although my third uncle inherited the title, of course, I have absolutely no intention of grudge against him."
He looked at Su Yan guiltily.
Liang Yi was speechless.
Who asked him?
Shi Yanqing said, "Grandmother has a strong personality and always interferes in the affairs of the mansion. She even refuted Uncle San's face in front of the servants. The two of them have been at odds for a long time. Everyone in the mansion knows about it. You can go and ask around. It is definitely not something I made up."
Su Yan asked: "Do you suspect that the fashion book harmed the old lady?"
Shi Yanqing said confidently: "It must be him! And my grandmother loves me the most, no matter who it is, it can't be me."
This is indeed true. Shi Yanqing is the oldest among the younger generations in the Shi family. He was the only child in the family and lost his father at a young age, so he was naturally loved.
Even during the most difficult years for the Shi family, Shi Yanqing lived a very comfortable life.
Su Yan asked: "Have you seen the old lady recently? Why did you meet?"
"My grandmother's birthday is coming soon. I'm looking for a gift to celebrate her birthday. I went to see my grandmother to find out which gift she would prefer."
Shi Yanqing raised his eyebrows, his filial piety was obvious to all.
Su Yan concluded: "Although the old lady likes you the most, you don't even know what the old lady likes."
Shi Yanqing: "..."
Is this the summary?
"When I came, the maids were there. You can go ask them!"
"But you also sneaked in while the maid was busy with other things. I have asked, and the maid is not always by the old lady's side."
Shi Yanqing said angrily: "Do you think I am the murderer? I..."
Liang Yi stood in front of Shi Yanqing, raised his eyebrows, and acted like a little prince.
Shi Yanqing sneered, "If you were only relying on my second brother, without him, your Liang family would have been brought down long ago!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard entered with a sword in hand. Feng Tu stood in front of the door and saluted, "Young Master, General Shi reminds you that disaster comes from the mouth, so be careful with your words."
Shi Yanqing sat down angrily.
Su Yan asked: "Has your mother, the eldest lady, visited the old lady in recent days?"
"Mother has to visit her every day, especially when she is sick, she has to serve her personally." Shi Yanqing said, "Mother's filial piety to grandmother is evident to all. Mother will not harm grandmother."
Su Yan nodded, "Master, you can leave now."
Shi Yanqing wanted to leave, but he didn't dare to. The strange noise made by the young coroner left him with lingering fears.
I always feel that no matter what bad things he wants to do, she will secretly tell him...
No, say it openly.
Shi Yanqing looked at Su Yan warily.
Su Yan: “……,?”
Shi Yanqing refused to leave.
Su Yan: “???”
Liang Yi urged, "Please invite Brother Yan Gui in quickly."
Shi Yanqing stared at Su Yan as he moved to the door, then quickly slipped away.
Su Yan: “…”
The next second, tens of thousands of "idiots" popped up.
Fortunately, he walked fast, otherwise he would have heard it.
Liang Yi asked: "Is he a suspect?"
"I don't know yet, but..." Su Yan's eyes rolled around, "If we can't get any clues, can we also look for clues in the mansion with Captain Yan?"
If I can find clues, maybe I can see other people's jade pendants, and find out how many jade pendants there are in total, and then...
Liang Yi: "..., my friend, can you not show your scheming directly on your face?"
I can hardly suppress my expression of wanting to cause trouble!
