Chapter 44

After thinking about it, in order to get more accurate information, she had to go to the cell.

The whole family heard that she was going to visit Chen's father, and immediately wanted to follow. Chen's mother and Tong's quickly made some food and brought it to Chen's father to satisfy his hunger.

The family, old and young, spent a little bit of money before entering the cell.

Father Chen was nestling aside, listless.

In the dark cell, the pungent smell made Chen Yuanyuan beat Haqiu several times, and the sound alarmed Chen's father. Seeing his mother, wife and children all came to see him, with cloudy eyes, he hung his head for a long time before raising his head.

Father Chen's eyes were red, and he knelt down towards Tong Shi with a plop.

"Mother, it's the child who is unfilial and makes your old man worry."

Seeing that Tong's family and Chen's mother were about to cry again, Chen Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't have much time to visit the prison, and she couldn't waste it, so she immediately stopped the conversation between the three of them.

"Father, let's go out and talk about something."

"..."

Seeing that young and old looked at her puzzled, she grinned with a bit of anger, which inexplicably made people feel at ease.

"In the past, Dad always taught us not to give up easily. No matter how hard life is, we have to live on. How can we give up lightly now?" She looked at Father Chen with piercing eyes again: "Dad, trust me!"

The young girl's expression was solemn, she changed from her usual idleness, and her small face was more serious than ever before.

This is the first time Father Chen has seen such a girl.

He was startled again and again, and there was an inexplicable hope in his heart.

"Father, think about it carefully when you were serving tea, did you meet anyone, or did you encounter any strange things?"

"From the lobby to the attic, I was alone from the beginning to the end. The tea never left my hand, and I never even opened the lid of the pot. When I went to the attic, I stopped in the corridor for a while, and then gave the tea to the maid named Chunxi."

"Have you ever had physical contact with someone?"

"Never."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded, apparently the tea was not poisonous before handing it over to Chunxi.

"Father, has anyone else entered the box of the Liu family?"

His father pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No one ever went in, and there were seven masters and servants from the beginning to the end."

After finishing speaking, Father Chen's complexion changed suddenly, he was terrified.

Heartbroken grass is highly poisonous, and the poison took only a quarter of an hour, which means that after he handed over the tea, the poisoner must be in the private room!

Seeing Father Chen's face change, Chen Yuanyuan was also lost in thought.

Apparently her father had gone with her, and the poisoner was in the box—sometimes the most unlikely outcome is the truth!
Chen Yuanyuan took a deep breath, and now she finally has a goal—the target is the seven people in the box!
On the way back from visiting the prison, Chen's mother looked at the silent eldest daughter and hesitated to speak.Before they knew it, everyone had bet all their hopes on Yuanyuan, and she told Qingqing and Yun Sheng not to make noise about the eldest daughter.

Chen Yuanyuan stared at her hand and pointed out that except for the three servants in the box, they were all close relatives of Mr. Liu.

Mrs. Liu is the official wife, and it is not plausible that her husband's death is sad; the third young lady of the Liu family doesn't look like a poisoner when she looks at that idiot; Don't ask too much, and don't look like a poisoned person.

Could it be three servants?

But without witnesses, physical evidence, motive for the murder, and no evidence, anyone would think it was her father who poisoned her!
She scratched her head, feeling a pain in her head.

Who is it! ! !

When she got home, she had no intention of eating.

Early the next morning, in order to investigate the case, I specially asked the shopkeeper for leave.

Fortunately, with the help of the leather monkey, they went to several clinics in a row, but no one has ever bought the heartbroken grass, so the clues have been interrupted!
Now I can only check one by one!

She stayed at Liu's house for three days without finding anything unusual.

The Liu family was still in mourning, Miss Liu also went back to her mother's family to wear the mourning, including the three servants who were in the restaurant that day, none of them had ever been out of Liu's mansion.

After leaving Liu's house, she squatted down at the entrance of a remote alley, hugging her knees and buried her head deeply in her knees.

The tears that hadn't shed for three days finally fell to the ground like beans.

Seeing that it is already sunset and dusk, and the three-day period has come after tonight, what should she do?

She choked up, trying not to make a sound.

She is not a person who loves to cry. She has never shed a single tear in front of her parents, grandma, and younger siblings for three days in a row. She is afraid that if she becomes weak, everyone will fall into a hopeless situation.

She was like a life-saving straw, supporting the last nerve of the Chen family.

Now there is no other way, what should she do?
With only three or four hours left, the gate of the Liu family was locked up, and there was no way to find out why!

Do you want to watch your father be beheaded?
Although Chen's father was strict with the three siblings, most of the time he let them make trouble and pampered them.

Could it be that he is going to rob the court!
Chen Yuanyuan wants to cry but has no tears, this is Dijing!
The surrounding soldiers are very skilled, and they might be shot to death by random arrows on the spot!
She wanted to collapse, and she didn't dare to go home, fearing that her mother and grandma's eyes full of hope would suddenly fall into deep despair.

Which bastard killed Master Liu and blamed her father?
Suddenly she trembled, as if remembering something.

About a quarter of an hour after his father delivered the tea that day, Master Liu died of poison.

At that time, the servants of the Liu family ran out to invite the doctor and the police, and the restaurant was in chaos. Her father was bumped several times in order to stop the guests who were eating Bawang's meal.

She saw it clearly from the high platform, and someone happened to bump into her father, and that person was Chunxi!

Would Chunxi secretly stuff the medicine bag into her father's arms when he bumped into her father?
Assuming it was Chunxi who poisoned him, what was the motive for the murder?
Chunxi is Miss Liu's personal servant girl, could it be that she was wronged at the Liu family before, because of Master Liu's lust?
All of a sudden, she remembered being chased by dogs and hiding behind the eaves a few days ago. She had heard the third young master of the Liu family say that Miss Liu's family often went back to her natal family recently, and every time she broke up because of quarrels?

Could it be that Liu Yueniang planned to poison her father?
She frowned, what happened during this period?

Vaguely, she seems to have grasped something!
But now that night has fallen, she doesn't have enough time to investigate again!

She wiped away her tears, stood up quickly, and ran towards Fulai Building.

Fulai Building was about to close, she rushed in hastily, just in time to meet Song Zhiyuan in the restaurant, Chen Yuanyuan's small face suddenly had a glimmer of hope.

"Master Song, please do me a favor."

Seeing her like this, Song Zhiyuan already guessed a little bit, and when the latter said to ask Jing Zhaoyin for a little more time, he already pursed his lips and remained silent.

He had no choice but to sigh: "My official position is very small, and Jing Zhaoyin has given Song some face before, if I ask for mercy again, it will be very difficult, and Song will be powerless!"

At this point, Chen Yuanyuan also knew that the Song family had helped enough, and asking for more would only embarrass the other party.

She walked out of the restaurant dejectedly, helpless and humble under the thick night.

Suddenly, for some reason, a figure appeared in my mind.

Maybe... there is still a chance!
