"How do you know they both wore it?"
Ye Shunan asked.
"When Young Master Shen bought the pair of jade pendants, he said they were going to be given to his sweetheart."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper lowered his voice, as if for fear that others would hear, and said to Ye Shunan, "I know the sweetheart he is talking about is.
The young lady of the Yu family, although the affairs between the two of them were not made public at that time, But it couldn't escape my eyes.
Just by the way Mr.
Shen looked at Miss Yu, I understood.
And not long ago, when Miss Li came to my store to buy a jade hairpin, I was stunned when I saw the phoenix pendant.
Wearing it on her body, I don’t know when Mr.
Shen got Fengpei back from Miss Yu.”
Ye Shunan frowned slightly when he heard this.
How could it be possible that Zuo Jingqian clearly said that the phoenix pendant with Miss Li's name engraved on it was first given to Miss Yu and then passed into the hands of Miss Li?
"Are there any words engraved on that jade pendant?"
Ye Shunan asked the shopkeeper.
"There are no words for words."
"Where did that pair of dragon and phoenix pendants come from?"
It seems that there are more than one pair of dragon and phoenix pendants.
The pair that Mr.
Shen came here to buy had no inscription at all.
"Why are you asking this, girl?"
The shopkeeper looked at Ye Shunan alertly.
Ye Shunan said calmly: "Someone found a phoenix pendant by the river where the crime occurred, but Miss Li's name was engraved on it.
If there are not other jade shops that have sold the same jade pendant, you are lying.
Shopkeeper Yes, you don’t want to be taken to the Yamen for questioning, right?”
Zuo Jingqian had already asked someone to question him, but the shopkeeper obviously didn’t tell the truth before.
The shopkeeper's face tightened, and he looked at Ye Shunan and Sikong Zhanbai in confusion.
After a moment, he calmed down and said to them, "Please speak later."
Behind the shop is a courtyard for the owner to rest.
"Both of you, please take a seat."
The shopkeeper asked Ye Shunan and Sikong Zhanbai to sit down in the east wing.
"What the girl said is that the jade pendant worn by Miss Li really has her name engraved on it."
"I don't need to lie to you."
Judging from the shopkeeper's reaction, he indeed didn't know about it.
"This is strange.
The pair of dragon and phoenix pendants that Mr.
Shen bought from my store didn't have a single word on them."
In this case, the jade pendant worn by Miss Li was probably bought from other places.
"So I want to ask the shopkeeper, where did you get the dragon and phoenix pendant from?
Is it sold in other jade shops?"
Ye Shunan asked, staring at his face.
"I bought the pair of dragon and phoenix pendants from Old Man Xiao.
They were carefully crafted by him a few years ago.
He originally planned to add them to his daughter's dowry when she got married, but he didn't expect that her daughter would It died suddenly, so I bought it.
Alas, I shouldn't have bought it in the first place.
It was such an ominous thing," the shopkeeper said regretfully.

Ye Shunan is now very sensitive to the word death, "How did you die?"
"He lost his footing and fell into the river and drowned.
Thinking about it this way, it's really evil.
Why are these people related to the river?
Could it be the ghost of the girl from the Xiao family who is causing trouble?"
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's whole body was filled with excitement.
Shit, she shouldn't be looking for him.
After that, Ye Shunan asked a few more questions before he and Sikong Zhanbai stood up and left.
The shopkeeper stopped them, "Can you two keep what we talked about today a secret?
We are in business, we are afraid that something bad will come out."
If people know that the jade in our store is related to the murder, it will affect the business. " Ye Shunan looked back at him and said, "The people in the government will definitely know.
As for the other people, I don't have to tell them, but I can't guarantee that others won't tell them."
The reason why he didn't tell the truth to the people sent by Zuo Jingqian , this should be the reason, but no matter what, it involves a murder case, how can you hide it?
This is not how business is done.
After returning to the inn, as soon as Sikong Zhanbai sat down, a secret guard appeared and delivered news about the capital.
"The Emperor is bedridden."
Sikong Zhanbai burned the letter Sui Yuxiu sent him and said to Ye Shunan next to him.
Ye Shunan hummed softly.
She had already seen that the emperor could not hold on for much longer.
"Now that the government is controlled by Sikong Qianrong, it's your wish."
Sikong Zhanbai asked with a smile.
Ye Shunan took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Sooner or later, the throne will be his, maybe not just the throne."
At this point, she suddenly changed the subject, "Who do you think the murderer of this murder case will be?"
Sikong Zhanbai smiled slightly, "Shu'er is so smart, do you have anyone to doubt?"
Ye Shunan shook his head slightly, "Currently, the most suspicious person is Mr.
Shen.
He is related to the two dead ladies.
The event that was originally planned to be canceled this year was only held because of his father's insistence. , maybe his contribution is indispensable behind this, but I think it’s not him.”
"Oh why?"
Sikong Zhanbai looked at Ye Shunan with a smile on his face and motioned for her to continue.
"It's very simple.
The two cases are obviously related.
The murderer planned it for a year, maybe more than a year.
How could it be so easy for people to suspect him?
I think the key now is to find Miss Li.
As for the origin of the jade pendant, didn’t the shopkeeper say that Old Man Xiao had an eye problem a few years ago?
Can you no longer work after the question?
Then where did the jade pendant on Miss Li come from?"
Ye Shunan tapped her finger on the table, "I think it was probably the murderer who got it.
His purpose is to make everyone suspicious.
Go to Master Shen."
But she hasn't figured out what the motive is.
Moreover, another dead woman has appeared now, Old Man Xiao’s daughter.
She drowned three years ago.
Her heart was not ripped out, and her appearance was not disfigured.

But according to the shopkeeper, that woman seemed Not very good-looking to begin with.
It seems that the woman's death has nothing to do with this case, but is that really the case?
Why did they all die at the same place by the river?
And Miss Gongsun, who died with Miss Li, has been confirmed to have nothing to do with Mr.
Shen. , if it was love killing, why did the murderer kill her?
Sikong Zhanbai stretched out his hand and pinched Ye Shunan's cheek gently, and said with a smile: "You, didn't you say you wanted to take a rest before going out for fun?
Why did you leave the capital?
You are still thinking about it like this.
I'll leave this case to you."
The yamen will check it out, Mr.
Tan’s ability is not bad, you just need to wait for the results.”
Ye Shunan smiled lightly when he heard this, and leaned back on the soft cushion to relax his body, "I'm curious too, it's not that I can't trust Mr.
Tan, not to mention that there is an interesting lady beside him, and that little girl is also very smart. , If it hadn’t been for her, I’m afraid the people in the yamen wouldn’t have noticed the jade pendant
