Chapter 187 Killing Building
A carrier pigeon flew from Li's house to the third floor of the largest brothel in the city and landed on the windowsill.
The window was opened, Lan Qi reached out and took the secret letter from under the pigeon's feet. Instead of closing the window, he walked into the house.
"Master, we still have orders to accept during the New Year."
Qi Yao was half lying on the comfortable and soft bed, flipping through a book in his hand. He didn't even glance at the person who was speaking, and spoke in a lazy voice.
"It's interesting to receive orders during the Chinese New Year. I hope it's a big deal."
Lan Qi opened the note, glanced at it quickly, and then handed it over carefully.
Qi Yao reached out to take it. It seemed to be a really big deal that he could take a look at the note. He looked at the contents of the note and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"It's a pity."
The big deal just flew away.
When Lan Qi heard that his master meant to refuse the answer, he took the note back and prepared to stamp it and return it.
"Lan Yi."
A woman in black tights appeared from the shadows, lowered her head and waited for instructions.
"Go find out what interesting things happened tonight."
"Yes."
After a while, Lan Yi came back and reported all the information he had obtained.
"Interesting, Lan Qi, take the previous one, otherwise things will become too easy and boring."
"Yes."
Qi Yao put down the book in his hand and thought to himself that the woman's appearance appeared in his mind and he felt funny. This Lin Jiaojiao must have offended the Li family and was actually going to buy the lives of their entire family.
It’s a pity that the price is too low, otherwise he would be tempted.
Li House.
Mr. Li was walking back and forth in the room anxiously. Finally, he heard the sound of flapping wings outside the window and hurried over.
Only when he saw that the first request was stamped with "Accept" did he feel completely relieved. His mood improved and he continued to read on with a smile, but he only saw the stamp of "Reject". His face immediately darkened.
Why! Even Shalou wants to help them!
He had accidentally learned about Shalou two years ago. It was a well-known assassin organization in the underworld. Information and lives could be purchased for money.
He didn't take it seriously at first, but later he accidentally learned that his wife's concubine was pregnant. He used money to shut the doctor's mouth, and then found a channel according to the method recommended by the underworld.
First he found a crime to sell the servant out, and finally he went to the assassination house to buy the life of the servant and the doctor.
Later on, he seemed to have tasted the benefits and became obsessed with it. He could eliminate all the people he hated without having to do it himself, and no one would suspect him.
Was it because the price was too low? But he had already squandered most of his dowry, and even the price he wrote down today was the last of his assets.
No! He wants to raise the price!
...
The next day.
Lin Jiaojiao woke up before dawn. Not only her, but everyone else had already gone to the hall to have breakfast.
The group was getting ready to set off for the yamen when they saw a constable riding over at full speed. Seeing that they were still there, he immediately stopped in front of them.
"Miss Lin, you don't have to go to the government office. The servant committed suicide last night out of fear of punishment. This is the letter from Lord Su to you."
Lin Jiaojiao took it with a frown. Sure enough, the thing she was most worried about happened. She opened the letter and took a quick look at it.
Then she handed the letter to Lin Yiyan beside her and thanked the detective editor.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. Tell Lord Su that I have learned about this. We will proceed with today's trip as planned."
After receiving the reply, the constable bowed, mounted his horse and left. They all returned to the hall and sat down.
"Aunt Lin, go prepare the carriage. We should go to Qingyu Temple as planned and return to Linjia Village early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Boss, Chun'er, follow me."
"Here comes mother."
They went to prepare the carriage, while Zhou Xiaofeng, Tongfu and Zhao Xiaotong returned to the guest room to pack their things.
Now besides Lin Fei, there were only Lin Jiaojiao and her family sitting at the table. Lin Yiyan had finished reading the letter. Although he was a little disappointed with the final result, it was nothing compared to his current worry.
"Jiaojiao, let's just let this matter go. I'm afraid that if I delve into it further, it will lead to..."
She took his hand to comfort him, looked at everyone and said, "That's what mother meant. Although we all know who the real murderer is, we have no evidence. The only accomplice is dead, and he has admitted that he was the only one who did it. But mother said that the deaths of Li Qionglan's two husbands and servants were a little strange. She will start from this aspect, so we don't have to worry about these things."
"Oh, what a sin..."
Father Lin didn't expect that so many people had died. Thinking of Lin Yiyan's face covered in blood, he felt scared.
They were going to the temple soon, so he wanted to pray to the Buddha and pray for him to bless their family with health and safety.
The two carriages followed the Su Mansion's carriage and drove out of the city. After driving for half an hour, they arrived near the Qingyu Temple. There were already many carriages parked around.
Because the temple is on a hillside, carriages cannot go up, so you have to walk up the stairs.
After they got off the carriage, they all stared at the long ladder above, especially Lin Jiaojiao, who looked miserable. How long would it take to climb up?
Many people got off the Su family's carriage in front. After getting off the carriage, Su's grandmother came to Lin Jiaojiao with the help of Su Tongpan.
"Jiao'er, this is grandma."
Lin Jiaojiao came back to her senses and looked at the old lady in front of her who was leaning on a cane and had gray hair, then called out respectfully.
"Hello, Grandma."
The husbands behind her also greeted her. Grandmother Su's eyes turned slightly red. She didn't expect that the child had grown so big. She had only held the child shortly after she was born.
"Okay, my child, you have worked hard these years. Your mother has told me everything. Grandma can understand, but grandma still wants you to come back..."
"Why are you talking about this again..."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. This is the doctor, right?"
When Lin Yiyan saw Grandmother Su calling his name, he held his belly and saluted carefully.
"Yes, grandma, I'm Lin Yiyan."
Grandma Su looked at the handsome man in front of her, especially his bulging belly. She became happier and happier because she was going to have a great-granddaughter soon.
She took off the jade pendant from her waist and handed it to him, "I was in a hurry to leave today and didn't bring anything with me. Take this jade pendant as a gift for my soon-to-be-born great-grandson."
Lin Yiyan turned his head to look at Lin Jiaojiao, and when he saw her nod, he smiled, took the jade pendant with both hands and thanked her.
"Yi Yan would like to thank grandma on behalf of Xiao Bao first."
Su Tongpan continued to explain to them the person behind her. Lin Jiaojiao also saw her second husband and the two boys with him, who were hiding behind him and staring at her vigilantly.
She smiled helplessly. Kids nowadays were so hostile, but she didn't care.
"Finally I caught up with you! Didn't we agree to come to the temple together?"
Lin Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Fu's mother and her group behind her, and slapped her forehead. Look at her memory.
I actually forgot about Fu Mu and the others...
