While saying these words, Ling Shu's eyes never left Yue Dingtang's face.

The other party's reaction was beyond his expectations.

Yue Dingtang was slightly surprised.

"Why do you think so?"

Ling Shu didn't answer and asked, "Have you seen Du Yunning's body with your own eyes? Have you checked it yourself? Is that really Du Yuning?"

Yue Dingtang fell into deep thought and spoke slowly after a while.

"I remember that she had a red mole on her left wrist near her elbow. When she was in school, those female classmates joked that it was Shougongsha. Also, she fell on a bicycle before and left her knee behind. Scars. I've seen them all."

This time, it was Ling Shu's turn to frown.

Yue Dingtang: "Why do you have such doubts?"

Ling Shu: "During Du Yuning's life, during my dealings with her several times, I found that she was not only dissatisfied with Yuan Bing, but also likely wanted to escape from the Yuan family. Even the day before her accident, she even asked me to elope. After being rejected by me, she once said a word."

"Um?"

Yue Dingtang issued a questioning tone.

Ling Shu: "If you don't want to go with me, I'll go by myself, and go far, to the ends of the earth, you don't regret it."

Yue Dingtang: "It's like her tone."

Ling Shu was not happy anymore: "Dare you think I'm making up a story?"

Yue Dingtang: "Of course not, but since childhood, Yun Ning often talked a lot and did little. Although he was dissatisfied with his situation, he never had the courage to make changes. This was the case when he went to study abroad and later married Yuan. Home, too."

Ling Shu: "If you just rely on this sentence, of course not. Do you remember, I told you that she would give me a piece of property for safekeeping to avoid being taken away by Yuan Bing."

Yue Ding Tang hummed, not thinking that Ling Shu was delaying time.

The other party will mention it again at this time, and there must be new content that was missed before.

Sure enough, he heard Ling Shu say: "At that time, she gave me a property list, which listed the property she wanted to transfer. But I saw the handwriting of two people on it."

Yue Dingtang: "Could it be that her maid helped her write it together?"

Ling Shu: "I understand that when she married into the Yuan family, she only brought one dowry, the maid who is following her now, but the other party is illiterate."

Yue Dingtang: "That is to say, there is another person who is helping her to make plans to help her leave the Yuan family."

Ling Shu: "Du Yuning has a weak personality and no opinion. She has no courage to leave the Yuan family alone. She used to ask me out and only complained and cried. Until recently, she started to elope until she took out her belongings. The list is kept by me, step by step, quite planned, it's not like she can come up with it."

Yue Dingtang pondered: "So, you suspect that she used you as a murderer to attract the attention of others, and then took the opportunity to fake death to elope with others?"

Ling Shu: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Yue Dingtang: "Why didn't you tell such an important clue earlier?"

Ling Shu: "Because the timing of your appearance is too coincidental, I can't be sure whether you are related to Du Yunning."

Yue Dingtang: "Do you still think so? If you say that your current situation is equivalent to embattled, I am the only one who can open up a way for you. Don't you want to find out the real murderer for her and let her Jiuquan Can you rest in peace? No matter what, she used to be a good girl."

Ling Shu stopped talking.

Yue Dingtang couldn't see anything from his expression.

A long time ago, Ling Shu was not like this.

This person will be competitive in terms of academic performance, and he will often tell others vividly about the current situation and social anecdotes. I don’t know where he got so many news and anecdotes. Every time after class, he is always surrounded by inside and outside. On the third floor, the students were happy to listen to his slightly exaggerated and ups and downs stories.

Although Yue Dingtang thinks that most of those words are nonsense, he actually likes to listen to them. What young man doesn't like to listen to those bizarre stories

He didn't admit it in face, but he always stood quietly on the periphery, pretending to pass by casually, and rubbing his ear.

In the crowd, Ling Shu is always the focus of being chased. His expression is changeable, and there is a little smugness in his high spirits, especially those eyes, which seem to be smiling when they are not smiling, and even more vivid when their eyebrows are dancing.

It's definitely not like this now, lazy, lack of fighting spirit, just living by.

"I'm going out for a cigarette."

Yue Dingtang got up and walked out, groping in his pocket, but found that he came out in a hurry, and even forgot to bring his cigarettes.

Half a pack of cigarettes was thrown from Ling Shu, and the other party pouted at him.

Before Yue Dingtang was moved for half a second, he heard Ling Shu say: "Borrow one and return two! I'm poor."

Yue Dingtang: …

Ling Shu guessed that he didn't really go out to smoke.

After all, when Shen Renjie sent him over before, there were two patrol officers who were escorting him waiting outside.

Shen Renjie did not dare to take this responsibility, and Yue Dingtang had to personally come forward to solve these troubles.

Sure enough, before half a cigarette, the surnamed Yue came back.

Ling Yao and the old servant have already arranged a table of dishes.

It's not as refined as the Yue Mansion, but it's better than ordinary.

Ling Yao wiped his hands and waved the air.

"It's too late to go out and buy your favorite dishes at this time. Aunt Hong and I will just make some, please bear with me!"

Yue Dingtang glanced at it and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, so many dishes are just casual, I don't eat so much at home."

Ling Yao smiled and said: "That's different. You are a guest, and you must make you feel at home. Come, sit down, don't be polite, eat more, I won't let you go out if you're not full today!"

Yue Dingtang didn't plan to stay for dinner, but Ling Yao Shengyi Quanquan and Ling Shu had not given him the final answer on Du Yuning's case. He agreed and took off his coat and scarf.

Needless to say, the old servant immediately came to pick it up and put it away, and then took it out and returned it before the guests left.

It is difficult for the servants of Xiaofu's family to have such agility and eyesight, and it is not difficult for a conscientious person to see the scenery of the Ling family from the details.

Yue Dingtang's gaze fell from the old servant to the dining table in front of him, and inadvertently saw that the corners of the table were badly worn, and one of the legs of the table was padded with a little bit of paper.

Ling Yao's cooking skills are good. Yue Dingtang used to eat at Ling's house in the past. At that time, she also cooked by herself. The familiar taste after a long time, coupled with Ling Yao's enthusiasm, is enough to offset Ling Shu's passive indifference.

"Dingtang, where are you now?"

Ling Yao scooped him a bowl of chicken soup and asked casually.

Yue Dingtang: "I am now teaching law in a university, mainly teaching the history of Western legal systems."

Ling Yao's eyes lit up: "This job is good, decent and leisurely. Are there many well-educated female teachers in the school?"

Yue Dingtang: "There are some, but not many."

Ling Shu felt bad: "There seems to be someone knocking on the door outside, I'll go take a look."

"sit down!"

Ling Yao shouted, gave Ling Shu a body-fixing technique, and then looked at Yue Dingtang with a smile on his face.

"What kind of girls are they? Are there any unmarried ones? You and Ling Shu are old schoolmates. The eldest sister has no other requirements for him. She just hopes that he will get married soon. It's good to have a good character and a clean family background. Ling Shu is not like you. He works in the police station all day long. His colleagues are all men. The only woman he sees is a suspect. !"

Ling Shu couldn't escape, and looked helpless: "Sister, you can let the guests eat a meal, but don't scare people away!"

Yue Dingtang: "It doesn't matter, eldest sister, there are not many female teachers of the right age in the school, but my third sister knows a lot of people. I will ask her to pay attention to it later."

Ling Yao grinned wide-eyed, and responded in succession.

"Ding Tang, you are so good, you should have married, right? When will you bring your sister-in-law over to have a meal together, eldest sister has nothing else, you can still master this cooking skill."

Yue Dingtang smiled: "Not yet, the family can let me, they are not in a hurry."

Ling Shu saw the needle and inserted the needle: "Sister, look, he didn't marry himself. You asked him to help me find it. Isn't this a blind man lighting a lamp?"

Ling Yao sighed: "You don't have to worry about such an excellent child, the girl who is willing to pursue you will definitely be lined up from the Bund to Northern Jiangsu, unlike Ling Shu, I'm afraid no one wants to stand on the street and shout. ."

Ling Shu: …

The man surnamed Yue seemed to think that the firewood was not burning enough, so he pretended to comfort him: "Maybe Ling Shu dated a girl outside and didn't tell you, eldest sister, don't worry too much, this kind of thing has to take its course."

Ling Yao pouted: "He? He won't bring me back a dancer someday, and said he wants to get married, I'll be thankful!"

Ling Shu couldn't help but complain: "You said last time that as long as I'm willing to marry and bring back a dancer, you'll recognize it."

Ling Yao gave him a fierce look.

The conversation is over, after three seconds of silence—

"Dingtang, you stayed abroad for a few years before, why is there no news now?"

"Staying in France for three years, and then studying abroad in Europe for two years, going to some countries."

"So you can speak all the foreign languages in Europe?"

Yue Ding Tang said modestly: "No, I speak English and French fluently. Others, like Russian and Spanish, can only speak a few words. After I came back, I almost forgot about the language environment."

Ling Yao: "It's really amazing, I deserve to be able to teach in a university, but our Lingshu family can't do it, and now I can't even speak a few foreign languages."

Ling Shu: …

He finally understood that Yue Dingtang was the "perpetually outstanding kid next door", and as long as he was there, he was doomed to not be able to have a quiet meal.

"Sister, I can't say the same thing. After all, we all speak Chinese since we were young, and we will definitely not get used to it when we suddenly go abroad. I have also seen people who have been there for several years and can't even speak a word of foreign language. Still stammering."

Yue Ding Tang was slow and slow, and made a timely relief.

"You're right, but they're both studying abroad. It's definitely better, not worse. If Ling Shu is half as good as you, I don't need to worry about it all day."

Ling Yao looked at him, how he looked at him, with a pleasant face and a gentle voice, in stark contrast to when he faced his younger brother.

"Ling Shu was very good when he was studying, but now it's just that everyone has different experiences after graduation, and the direction is different. With Ling Shu's ability, he must have a bright future soon."

Yue Dingtang reassured and said, looking at Ling Shu, who is not afraid of boiling water, is in a good mood.
