Remember in One Second [800 ♂ Small/Say → Net
There was no pop-up window for free reading!
The jailer was stunned, and then slapped his forehead hard.
"Thank you for reminding me! I'll go and have a look now, in case they do something bad to you! "
The jailer, who had wasted his time for many years and was unfamiliar with "work", obviously did not know that Lin Mengya's words had saved him.
When he ran in quickly, the jailer was about to swallow the poison.
Fortunately, the jailer was agile and snatched it away.
"You want to commit suicide to escape punishment! Wait, I'll find a rope now and tie you up! "
The commotion coming from inside made her feel a little more at ease.
Obviously, since the poison was brought by his companions, the real culprit behind the scenes was naturally hiding in a place where they could reach at any time.
The guests in the guest room at that time became the first target.
But no matter how she thought about it, she did not pose a threat to anyone, except that her arrival might make one of them leave.
What was the reason for them to be so deranged?
The commotion inside quickly subsided.
The jailer directly tied him up like a dumpling. After thinking for a while, he tore off a corner of his clothes and gagged his mouth tightly.
Now, he could not even kill himself with his tongue.
After doing all this, the jailer thought that it was thanks to her reminder.
At night, there was an old soft quilt on Lin Mengya's bed.
"This was made by my wife. You can use it first."
Faced with the simple kindness of the jailer, Lin Mengya nodded with a smile.
At night, except for a light in the corridor, everywhere in the prison was dark.
She nestled in the warm quilt, thinking about her own things.
All of a sudden, a very special feeling made her subconsciously tense her body.
It seemed that someone was standing outside her cell, watching her.
She turned on the night vision function of the system, but was surprised to find that there was no one here.
Could it be that she was oversensitive and thinking too much?
But she did not know that there was indeed someone watching, but it was not here, but behind the iron door.
The next day, Cai Ru came again and brought her some food and some news that only outsiders would know.
After using a pot of wine to coax the big brother jailer away, Cai Ru lowered her voice and reported, "Our people have never left the shop. These past few days, there have been many people who wanted to inquire about the situation, but they were all blocked by Old Li and the others. As for Old Li, he also sneaked out a few times. We followed your instructions and did not send anyone to follow them. "
Lin Mengya nodded. The current situation was quite complicated.
Old Li belonged to the Immortal City's faction, and the ones who harmed her were related to those merchants and the sheriff.
With her as the focal point, the three forces could be considered to be completely mixed together.
"Very good. When we return this time, Old Li will probably start to test you. Don't worry, just pretend to reveal some information about us to him unintentionally. Remember, it has to be 30% fake and 70% real. "
Judging from the way Old Li and the others posted up, the mastermind should have repeatedly used this method to inquire about outsiders like them.
In this case, if it was too perfect and there were no loopholes, it would instead arouse suspicion.
Therefore, the mastermind behind the scenes would only believe it if it was a mixture of truth and falsehood.
As soon as they finished talking, the big brother jailer rushed over.
"Sister, someone is coming today. Hurry up!"
Before Cai Ru could say anything else, she was taken away by the jailer.
Not long after, the seemingly righteous sheriff walked in with his men.
Seeing the things in the cell, he did not say anything, but just ordered the jailer to open the door of the cell.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
She stood up and bowed calmly.
In fact, she also felt that it was time for the sheriff to come.
"About this murder case, do you have anything else to say to me?"
Lin Mengya shook her head and said, "I have nothing to say. I believe in your judgment, Your Excellency, and you will definitely prove my innocence."
The sheriff stared at the woman in front of him, and then he tentatively said, "I have read the documents you left in the commercial office. Let me ask you, are you really just a traveling merchant who sells spices for a living? "
There was a hint of sternness in his words.
But Lin Mengya did not feel guilty. Instead, she smiled at the sheriff.
"Your Excellency, you are really funny. Of course, I can't just sell spices. Whether it's leather goods, mountain goods, or local specialties, I sell them all. But I have a special characteristic, I only sell the most popular ones. In this way, I can earn back the money in the shortest time. "
Seeing that she did not seem to feel guilty, the sheriff felt even more strange.
"Since you only sell these things, why would there be people who schemed to kill you?"
Speaking of this, she was also confused.
She could forget about her real identity. Anyway, she had offended too many people over the years, and she was not afraid of being bitten by lice.
But as a small merchant, she was cautious at every step. She almost wore a sign around her neck that said "I am an honest person".
"Your Excellency, in fact, I am also puzzled. The real murderer behind the scenes did not target others, but why did he come to make things difficult for me? Is it because I am a woman and easy to bully? "
She was smart and answered the question with a question.
Now, not only did the sheriff not get the answer he wanted, but he also beat around the bush for her.
"Well, I don't know for the time being. But if you think of something, you'd better tell me the truth. So that I can find out the truth this morning. "
She thought for a while and said, "It's not a clue, but I do remember a strange thing."
"Oh?"
She pretended to be distressed and said, "When we were in the guest house, the spice boss framed me for secretly changing his spices. But after that, I deliberately asked the shopkeeper of the guest house. Besides me, there were two merchants who specialized in selling spices, and they also stayed here. At that time, the spice boss was also there. I am a little curious, why is it me, and not the other two? "
Although she was talking about herself, she was deliberately reminding the sheriff of a very important question.
If the spice merchant only wanted to blackmail, why did he let go of the first two?
Also, although most of them would choose to stay in the guest house, except for a few merchants who set up stalls, most people would move to the shop after renting the shop.
After all, the profit was pitifully small, and living in the guest house was also a cost, so everyone naturally saved as much as possible.
Obviously, the sheriff also realized this problem. He frowned and said, "This matter is indeed suspicious.
"This matter is indeed suspicious. I will get someone to investigate it."
"If that's the case, then I'll thank you, Sheriff."
She bowed gratefully.
The sheriff had a stomach full of questions, but at this moment, he could only suppress them in his heart.
He could see clearly that even if he asked the question, the other party would easily and skillfully block him with the answer.
This girl could be considered smart and quick-witted.
Thinking of her documents, it was written that she had traveled with her family since she was a child, he did not have many doubts in his heart.
To begin with, it was impossible to fight in the mortal world without some tricks up his sleeves.
At this moment, he did not hesitate.
"This is my duty. Just wait here. I will find out the truth myself."
"Yes."
Watching the sheriff leave, the corner of her mouth slightly rose.
Now that the sheriff had his eyes on the guest house, the person behind the scenes must not have a stable life.
Ha, scheming against her? Let's see if they are lucky enough to do so!
Life in prison was not difficult. These days, Cai Ru came every day, and even brought her a few books to relieve her boredom.
The jailer was familiar with them, and every day, he happily waited for Cai Ru to come, or bring him a pot of wine, or some food that she made.
She could tell that the jailer was a good man, but he was too lonely here, so he wanted to talk to someone every day.
"The sheriff has summoned the caravans that stayed in the guest house that day. A few of them tried to escape in the night, but they were caught."
"Why didn't I see them here?"
Cai Ru looked around and whispered, "When they were caught, they were said to be fine, but they fell to the ground and died after a few steps. According to the news from our people, they were bleeding from the seven apertures when they died. It is very likely that they were poisoned to death. "
She nodded, thinking of the poison brought by the waiter's companion that day.
When the poison took effect, it was indeed like this.
"Then what happened?"
"Later, the sheriff was furious, and this matter really touched his bottom line. So the sheriff ordered everyone who was there to return to the guest house and not to leave."
This news surprised Lin Mengya a little.
Although she did not have much contact with the sheriff, he was not a muddle-headed official.
He must have his own reasons for doing so.
Cai Ru left. She was resting with her eyes closed, and it was rare for someone to come to interrogate her.
Lin Mengya looked at the man, and was slightly relieved when she saw that he was really the sheriff's man.
"Sir, where are you taking me?"
The man said without looking back, "You will know when you arrive. Hurry up, the lord is still waiting for you."
But she did not expect to go to the guest house again.
And in addition to those groups of businessmen, her waiter and Cai Ru were also in it.
They were also very surprised to see her.
The sheriff was standing in the center of the yard. She walked over and saluted, "Bai Jing greets you, sir."
The sheriff nodded, "Since you are here, stand where you should stand."
At this moment, Lin Mengya was even more confused.
"What do you mean, sir?"
