On this day, Long Er was invited by the emperor to go hunting in autumn. He greeted Ju Muer and said that he would come back in three days. But on the second night after he left, people entered Ju Mu'er's courtyard.
It was a gloomy day, and it looked like it was going to rain.
It was freezing in autumn, and Ju Muer was afraid of the cold, so she went to bed early and slept wrapped in a quilt.
When someone knocked on the door, she was in a daze. Later, she heard Lin Yueyao call "Ju girl" outside the door, and she subconsciously answered. Then she suddenly realized that her courtyard door was locked, so how did Lin Yueyao get in
Before Ju Muer could think about it, there was another knock on the door.
Ju Muer hurriedly responded, got up hurriedly, wrapped herself in a coat, picked up her cane, stood behind the door and asked, "What's the matter, girl?"
"Ju girl, open the door quickly, I have something important to discuss."
Ju Muer felt different, but the door had to be opened. Fortunately, the guards of the Dragon Mansion were watching in the dark, which made her somewhat at ease, so she said "wait a moment", she touched the candle and came out to light it, before she dawdled over to open the door.
The door opened a little, and Lin Yueyao squeezed in.
Ju Muer was forced to take two steps back, and hurriedly asked, "Girl, what's the matter?"
"I'm being watched, and I think someone is going to kill me." Lin Yueyao's tone was full of panic, which made Ju Muer stunned.
"Someone wants to kill you? Why?"
Lin Yueyao closed the door, and Ju Muer heard a click, as if the door was bolted, but it didn't sound like there was any movement in the room, and she couldn't help but feel tight.
Lin Yueyao seemed to have brought a helper.
"During these days, I always felt that someone was spying on me, so I saved my mind. A few days ago, I went to a restaurant for dinner, and someone pretended to be my second brother and broke in. I think those people are going to kill me." Lin Yueyao spoke from behind the door , invisibly blocked the door, "Miss Ju, what do you think I should do?"
She really knew it all.
At this time, Ju Muer calmed down instead. It took Lin Yueyao a few days to come to Xingshi to inquire about her crimes, she must have been prepared; she came to the door in the middle of the night, she must have a plan; now she is pretending to be a deliberate temptation, what is she trying to do
"Miss, do you know who the other party is? Why did you kill you?"
"I don't know about this. Could it be because of Mr. Shi and Yibai? But Yibai's death has been found out. Although I am very unwilling, it is a fact that he died in an accident. Besides, I There are no enemies."
"Maybe Brother Yibai's death was not an accident? Maybe someone found out that you were investigating this matter?"
"There is no one to track down this matter. It is seamless and there is no flaw. How can someone track it down?"
Seamless, flawless? So she's not going to pretend anymore
Ju Muer clenched her cane tightly, pulled the skirt of her clothes, and sat down.
"He didn't get drunk and drowned, did he?"
"He is." Lin Yueyao also sat down, "The drinking buddy I mentioned does exist. Miss Ju should have checked it, didn't she?"
Ju Muer didn't say anything, she did tell Long Er and asked someone to investigate. It's just that she didn't think Lin Yueyao would know about the investigation. So it should only be that she realized that she was seen through, so she inferred.
Lin Yueyao didn't wait for Ju Mu'er's words, she continued on her own: "Yi Bai left Xichun Hall that day, it was indeed that drinking friend who dragged him to drink, and they were both drunk. You know, drunk Especially after a rainy day, the muddy road at the embankment is slippery." She paused here, "Even if you can't fall, if someone who knows martial arts hits a stone on his foot, you can't. He just fell. Anyway, he fell into the water that night when he was drunk, there was absolutely no flaw. The drinking buddy witnessed it with his own eyes, which is a personal proof. No matter how we investigate this matter, the result will only be an accidental death."
The more Ju Muer listened, the more her heart sank. She knew that this woman could tell her these things, but she didn't intend to let her go. She had to buy time, the longer it took, the more chances the guards outside would notice something was wrong in the room.
"The testimony of that witness will also be flawless, because everything he said is true, right?" Ju Muer asked.
"That's right."
"Young lady told me that Brother Yibai died in an accident, did she want to dissuade me from pursuing the investigation further?"
"Yes. For a long time, only you and I have been investigating this matter, but there has been no progress in the past two years. And after you saw Qian Jiangyi's fate and was abandoned by her husband's family after the interview, you must have suffered a lot in your heart. Small. If the partner who has been advancing and retreating together finds out that the original question is nothing at all, normal people will give up."
Ju Muer smiled, remembering what Mr. Long Er said - those who learn the piano are all crazy. She said to Lin Yueyao: "The girl wants to say that I am abnormal?"
"You are indeed different from ordinary people."
Ju Muer smiled again: "Young lady came here to tell me this? Praise me for being different?"
"I just said clearly that I am being watched and someone wants to kill me. I want the girl to give me some advice. What should I do?"
"I really can't do anything about it. I've been under surveillance for the past two years, and someone wants to kill me, and I haven't figured out a good solution."
"You worry too much." Lin Yueyao sneered, "Maybe no one wants to kill you. Otherwise, how could you be safe and sound for more than two years?"
"That's true, but it's a bit strange. Tell me, girl, why didn't you kill me?"
Lin Yueyao didn't answer, but asked: "How did you know someone was watching? Where did the other party make a mistake?"
Ju Muer didn't answer, but asked instead: "What about the girl, how do you know that someone is following you?"
Lin Yueyao laughed loudly: "Miss Ju, you are really interesting. To be honest, I have met many men and women, but none of them are as calm as you. You know what I am here for, you You can't beat me because you can't see with your eyes. Also, I brought helpers, and the door is locked from the outside. If you don't die, the door won't open. I know that there are guards of the Dragon Mansion hidden in your courtyard. Since I have If you are prepared, you will not come here rashly. Let me say this, do you feel a little nervous?"
"I'm very nervous, I'm afraid of death." Ju Muer said so, but there was a faint expression on her face.
"I really can't tell."
"I'm just better at pretending."
Lin Yueyao smiled: "It turns out that we can tell the truth to each other only when we get this kind of time."
Ju Muer couldn't laugh, her mind was spinning rapidly. Lin Yueyao's self-confidence must have done something to the guards of the Longfu, so she doesn't mind sitting here and talking to her slowly, she thinks that she is now a turtle in the urn, and she will never escape her grasp.
Ju Muer's palms were covered with sweat, and she almost couldn't hold her cane tightly.
At this time Lin Yueyao asked: "Do you know why I came here today?"
"The sky is gloomy and there is no moonlight. I am going to find help for a few days. Also, the second master is leaving Beijing."
"Smart." Lin Yueyao nodded, "He said you're smart, but I actually think so too. It's just that I'm not stupid. Do you want to know how I knew you saw through me?"
"Please speak." Ju Muer didn't mind Lin Yueyao's showing off, she needed time to think of a countermeasure, so the longer Lin Yueyao said, the better.
"You are reconciled with Second Master Long, and you live alone at home. There is no flaw at all. Second Master Long has a weird temper, and you are not an ordinary woman. It is reasonable to be angry if you become stiff. Originally, this is a good time for you to give up investigating the case. I It is true that I have taken this step. But later I found out that your sadness and grief only lasted for a few days. After you recovered from your illness, I will see you again. You are full of joy and tenderness that cannot be concealed."
Lin Yueyao sneered at this point: "Ju Muer, you are really good at pretending, but do you know that no matter what kind of woman, when she is with the person she really loves, there will be an indelible feeling in her body?" Breath. A woman's appearance can be dressed up, her expression can be disguised, but the feeling of love and hate on her body cannot be changed. Ju Mu'er, I have seen too many people, even if you have a face on the board, even if you pretend nothing happened, I can still see it , you are still a little woman loved by others."
Ju Muer was stunned, she never expected this to be the reason.
Lin Yueyao said again: "So I was thinking, why did you two reconcile, and then I figured it out, this is a conspiracy, a big conspiracy that you want to lure snakes out of the hole. You can't find any clues for a long time, so you have to use this trick, right wrong?"
Ju Muer didn't speak, although she didn't mean it, but things seemed to be developing in this direction.
To lure a snake out of its hole? The snake did come out of its hole and came to bite her.
"Tell me, why are you so persistent? Wouldn't it be good for you to be your Mrs. Long Er? Who are you, Shi Boyin, and who are you, Hua Yibai? Why are you doing this?"
"I want to live a good life, will you let me?" Ju Muer smiled bitterly, "I have had such a dream more than once. I gave birth to two dolls for the second master, a boy and a girl. I taught them to play the piano, and the second master was very angry. Hey, it's better to learn to dial the abacus than to play that shit. This is a sweet and beautiful thing, but when I wake up, I feel scared in my heart, how can you understand this feeling?"
"Over the past two years, we haven't hurt you, can't we make you feel at ease?"
There seemed to be something wrong with these words, but Ju Muer didn't have time to think about it, and just said: "Girl, don't forget, it was you who asked me to investigate this matter with you."
"I was looking for you. If I don't look for you, how can I be sure what you know, and how can I know what you plan to do?"
"Sure enough." Ju Muer said, "You led me around in circles, seemingly eager, but you seized every opportunity to let me know that there was no hope of tracking down. You must be looking for an opportunity, planning to be in a certain appropriate time. Time to tell me that brother Yibai died accidentally, Mr. Shi was not wronged, right?"
"Yes. You did tell me everything you doubted, and I knew exactly what you were going to do. I dragged you, slowly wearing away every doubt you had, and made you desperate about it ...and then at some point, you'll realize that it's boring and pointless to do it. I'm your only partner, and if I give up, you'll give up soon without support. Look, I said, We never thought of hurting you, and this is proof."
"Then why have you changed your mind now?"
"Because you are too ignorant, it doesn't matter if I accompany you slowly, but I won't give you a chance to find him from me." Lin Yueyao's voice was cold, and she slapped a dagger on the table, " You must die."
Ju Muer was startled by the sudden heavy sound: "How are you going to kill me?"
"Use a dagger."
"Kill me, how can you escape?"
"You don't have to worry about me. As long as it can kill you, I'm willing to take my life."
"Wait a minute." Ju Muer's face was pale, she quickly jumped up and retreated to the corner of the room, her hand holding the cane was shaking, "Don't you want to know how I saw you through?"
Lin Yueyao laughed when she saw her frightened like this: "You want to procrastinate? What's the use of procrastination, let me tell you, those two Dragon Palace guards are dead, no one will come to rescue you. I know some martial arts , more than enough to deal with you blind. Also, there is my helper outside the door, even if you get out of this house by chance, you will be killed. Ju Muer, I will not come if I am not fully prepared. As I said, I won't give you a chance."
"We never meant to hurt you."
"I won't give you a chance to find him from me."
Some things are ready to come out, but hazy. Ju Muer's heart was beating violently. When she heard Lin Yueyao stand up, she took another step back in fright, and said loudly, "He must be very good to you if you do this for him."
Lin Yueyao was about to take a step, but she couldn't help but stop when she heard this. She said: "He is indeed very good, he is my nobleman. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that my life would be worse than death."
Ju Mu'er closed her eyes and tightly held her cane: "Second Master is also my nobleman."
Lin Yueyao stared at her, looked at her, and suddenly said: "The most precious thing in a woman's life is to meet a nobleman. If that nobleman can repay you with the same affection, then it will be happiness." She sighed Say, "Ju Mu'er, if I were you, I wouldn't care about other people, what grievances, what death in vain, what have those things to do with me? You are really in the blessing and don't know how to be blessed, and you don't know how to cherish, that's why you have what you are today Evil consequences."
"My bad result is because I saw through you."
Lin Yueyao thought for a while, and said, "That's right."
"You acted cautiously, but I still saw through it. Do you know where there is a flaw?"
"I saw the false reconciliation between you and Second Lord Long. In order to prove it, I sneaked into your house and searched while you were away. The guards of the Long Mansion who watched the yard saw this, right?" Lin Yueyao Smiling, "Actually, I saw through you because of this. Your bed has been replaced with a new one, and there are new wax marks on your table, and there are several places. It means that someone is staying here at night, and that person is not blind Well, he needs candlelight. You still have a few men's clothes in your trunk. However, I put everything back as it was before I turned it, so you can't detect it. So there must be someone watching your house, They found out what I was doing, that's why I was exposed, didn't they?"
"No. You searched my house to let me know that I was exposed, so the second master and I decided to put bait for you, because if you drag it on, no bait will work." Ju Muer said, "I saw you through earlier."
Lin Yueyao thought for a while, looked at Ju Muer's scared look huddled in the corner, then looked at the door, then bent the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Forget it, you can't escape at all, I'll give you a little more time , listen to what you say."
Ju Muer secretly breathed a sigh of relief, everyone has curiosity, she has to use this to procrastinate for a while longer.
She began to say: "When you came to me, I thought about why you asked a blind and weak woman to help you to solve the mystery of Brother Yibai's death, because Brother Yibai told you that I was helping you." He wrote the piano score? This is unreasonable. There is a big difference between writing the piano score and solving the murder case. If you want to find out the truth, you should find someone who is really capable to help. But I blame myself for thinking too much, I don't think I should doubt a sad woman who has lost her lover. Because Brother Yibai mentioned you to me from time to time, and there is affection for you in his words. I think it must not be one-sided feelings that make him so happy and satisfied. .So in the end, I chose to believe you."
Lin Yueyao didn't speak, she listened quietly.
"It's been a long time, and all I get from you are useless and mixed news, and I can provide very little, I am very anxious, I don't know when I will see the injustice case, but you are very calm. I have to say , I was able to settle down and persevere, and most of it has something to do with you."
This slightly sarcastic remark made Lin Yueyao sneer.
Ju Muer went on to say: "The first thing that made me doubt you was your piano skills. In order to find out more information, I taught Hua Niang to play the piano. We meet secretly and exchange news in this way. Maybe you also borrowed I came here to test and monitor me, but it was also because of this that I heard you play the piano. Your piano skills are mediocre, and I can't tell what talent you have that can be appreciated by Brother Yibai so much. He once said that you are his bosom friend, But the violinist bosom friend can’t do without two brushes for the violin. Therefore, I have been suspicious of this point and can’t let go of it.”
"Qin Yi?" Lin Yueyao's voice was very high-pitched, she seemed to be quite surprised, but also seemed to be stunned, "It's really hard to be a bosom friend for those who love the piano."
Ju Muer waited for her to continue, but Lin Yueyao was speechless after saying this. Ju Mu'er cleared her throat, and continued: "Later, I found an opportunity to test you. I gave you two piano scores and asked for them back. Then I told you a few days ago that it was written down that Mr. Shi was dying. The score of the song you played. It stands to reason that you should be anxious to ask me for the whereabouts of the score, but you don’t have it. Because you know, the score is not in my hands.”
"Because I changed the score." Lin Yueyao didn't mind telling the truth at this time.
"That's right, you switched. And it's because of you that I affirmed my guess about you. You think I'm blind, and I don't know if I come back with a sheet music of the same size and thickness?"
"Not only are they the same size and thickness, but even the feel of the paper is the same."
Ju Muer smiled: "You really have a heart. It's just that you don't know. The moment I touched the music book, I knew it was fake."
"how is this possible?"
"I poked holes in the sheet music with needles. Every sheet of my sheet music is marked like this. So I can tell which sheet is which sheet by touching it. Girl, how I wished I was wrong Now, how I wish you were a true friend."
"Friend?" Lin Yueyao shook her head and sneered, "Aside from what happened today, we can't be friends. You don't know how much I hate you."
Ju Muer pursed her lips tightly.
"Okay, is your story finished?" Lin Yueyao knocked on the table with a dagger, "Do you have anything else to surprise me? If not, I should do it."
"I know how you spread the news in the restaurant."
Lin Yueyao laughed: "You really have endless things to say. But you are lucky, I am really interested in hearing about this matter."
"At that time, you closed the door, and the spies pretended to be the little boy and entered the room to check to see if there was anyone else sneaking in besides you. If they knocked on the door in advance, they were afraid that the people inside would hear and avoid them, so they walked in without saying hello. It was a risk that he had to take when he went in. But after he entered the house, he saw no one, and there was nothing unusual in the house, and he found nothing."
"That push of the door really made me suspicious." Lin Yueyao sneered, "I'm as suspicious as you. But it doesn't matter to me whether he comes in or not. I didn't see anyone that day, and he couldn't catch me. .”
"After you left, the spies went into the house to check, but they didn't find anything."
Lin Yueyao proudly said, "I am naturally careful when I do things."
