Chapter 463

"I did go out that night. I wanted to look for Mingzhu, but when I went to her yard, her maid told me that Mingzhu had gone out, and I didn't know where. I couldn't see anyone, so I came back naturally."

Xu Qing: "have you ever been to the cliff?"

"No

Xu Qing: "but your side is very close to the cliff. If you come back from the road near the cliff, you will probably see the Pearl on the other side of the cliff."

"No, I didn't see it. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly."

Xu Qing: "really not? If the pearl is there, it must be a lantern with lighting. If it is bright, it should be very conspicuous in the dark. "

"No! Do you mind! "

As soon as the angry voice rang out, she didn't scare Xu Qing. Instead, she was startled.

At the moment of the sound, Mingcai's fingers trembled quickly, but no one noticed the subtle change.

Xu Qing continued to ask, "Miss Xiao, can you tell me what happened when you went to see Mingzhu that night?"

"I I'm just going to play with her when I'm idle. "

Xu Qing: "but as far as I know, you have always loved the son of Mu Yan family, and Mingzhu has been hesitating between Bai Chu and Yan Ying. Later, Mingzhu could not choose Bai Chu, so she would probably choose Yan Ying as her husband. Do you have any idea about this?"

Miss Xiao showed an uneasy and slightly sarcastic smile: "what can I think, the orders of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, it's not that I can marry whoever I want to marry. My marriage can't be decided by myself."

Xu nodded: "I see. Thank you very much for your cooperation. We'll talk again when we have time."

Miss Xiao opened her mouth to ask Xu Qing whether she doubted her or not. However, thinking of her asking, she seemed very guilty and could not help swallowing her words.

The next few also have no valuable information. Most of them have very clear alibi, which can be ruled out basically. The rest, let's observe again.

When Xu Qing came out, he said to Mingcai, "it's hard for you to accompany me on this trip. I still have a place to go. Can you accompany me?"

Mingcai: "where?"

Xu Qing: "crime scene."

Mingcai nodded: "naturally."

Two people came to the edge of the cliff, the height of the railing of the cliff in Xu Qing's waist position, the railing is very strong, easily can't hit open.

Just above the railings, there is an obvious and clear finger mark, which is the mark of fingernails. Some sawdust even scraped on it. We can see how much strength pearl used at that time.

By the way, Wuzuo found sawdust of the same material as the railing in the cracks of Mingzhu's fingernails. One finger's fingernail was also broken. It can be basically determined that these finger marks were left by Mingzhu.

Xu Qing stretched out his hand to compare. The finger mark is from the inside to the outside. At that time, the Pearl should have fallen out of the railing. Only when he grasped the railing with one hand could he leave the finger mark.

It's very remote here. I'm afraid no one can hear you even if you fall down and shout.

Xu Qing looks around, and the light from the corner of his eye also pays attention to Mingcai. Mingcai is also seriously helping to find something suspicious.

Several days later, even if there is something that must have been dealt with by the murderer, Xu Qing found nothing.

"Forget it, let's go back." Xu Qing got up and sighed. He said to Ming Cai, "it's hard for you today. Go back and have a rest."

Mingcai pursed her lips and laughed shyly: "it's not hard, it's you who work hard."

Back at his residence, Xu Qing sorted out today's survey results with Li Changting and duanmuxiang.

"Miss Xiao is very suspicious. She seems to know something, but she doesn't dare to say it. I'm going to ask her in the evening."

Duanmu ring did not understand the way: "why do you have to bring Mingcai, you do not doubt her?"

Xu Qing: "it's because I suspect her that I take her all the way, because I can't see anything unusual in a few words. It takes patience to wait for the murderer to show his feet."

Duanmu ring: "Oh? Does that mean there's something wrong with it? "

Xu Qing: "after meeting Miss Xiao, she seems a little absent-minded, but I'm not sure. It's just a feeling."

Li Changting: "find a chance to cheat her."

Xu Qing: "let's make a quick decision tonight."

Xu Qing asked Li Changting to take her away from her eyes and ears to meet Miss Xiao.

When Miss Xiao saw Xu Qing coming in through the window, she almost screamed.

"Shh, I'm here to ask you a few questions." Xu Qing whispered.

Miss Xiao showed an impatient look: "haven't you already asked?"

Xu Qing: "but it seems that you still have something to hide. That night, you were the only one who said that you had gone out, but you still went to the Pearl."Miss Xiao: "so what? I'm definitely not the killer!"

Xu Qing: "I didn't say you were a murderer. In fact, I don't think you are a murderer. I've inquired about it. Your family doesn't have a good relationship with Yan family. You didn't have a chance to marry Yan Ying. You went to Mingzhu to tell her that you won't compete with her, did you?"

Miss Xiao looked at Xu Qing in surprise: "this You know that? "

Xu Qing: "in fact, it's not hard to guess that you frankly won't fight with Mingzhu. You don't want to destroy the sisterhood between you. Anyway, it's only men who can let you talk. So, what did you see that night?"

Miss Xiao

Xu Qing: "there is no one else here, only me. You can speak out boldly. Mingzhu is your sister. You don't want to let the murderer go unpunished."

Miss Xiao: "even if we catch the murderer, what can we do?"

Xu Qing: "if you catch the murderer, you will be handed over to the master of Ming village. Then there will be nothing for us. I want to go down the mountain early, and you want to be fair to the dead. If the pearl is alive in heaven, I hope you can tell the truth, and don't let her die in peace."

After hearing this, Miss Xiao could not help but shed tears. "I also want to return the Pearl to justice, but I dare not..."

Xu Qing: "why don't you dare? Is the killer Mingcai?"

Miss Xiao stares at Xu Qing with big eyes, suddenly shakes her head and says, "no, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything."

Xu Qing said it was no surprise, "you can say nothing, but I need your help."

Miss Xiao: "what's up?"

Xu Qing: "right now, help me make an appointment for Mingcai, just on the cliff."

Miss Xiao: "you What do you want to do? "

Of course, it's cheating. If there is no evidence, the murderer can only admit it.
