Chapter 332 Will I Hurt My Mother?



Chapter 332 Will I Hurt My Mother?

"Ask them separately. Shen Lan, help Zhao Xiangxiang back to her room first."

Pei Yan finished speaking and pointed.

Shen Lan nodded. Even though she hadn't yet recovered from what had just happened, now was not the time to be afraid and retreat.

Zhou Youyou walked over and helped Zhao Xiangxiang up from the ground, and the three of them walked towards the wing room together.

Qin Wei stood up and walked to Luo Zhi's side. She was still in a daze, as if she had never expected to encounter such a thing.

She walked over and raised her hand to touch Luo Zhi's arm.

Luo Zhi turned his head and looked over mechanically. He was stunned for a long moment before he spoke tremblingly.

"Second Miss Shen?"

"Are you okay? Let me help you go to your room to rest first." Qin Wei raised his hand, held her arm, and helped her up from the ground.

Naturally, when she stood up, she would see the corpse lying on the ground again, but this time, Mrs. Zhao's eyes had been closed by Pei Yan, so it was not as scary as before.

Luo Zhi swallowed his saliva and subconsciously leaned towards Qin Wei, his steps a little weak.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to see that..."

Qin Wei pursed her lips and helped Luo Zhi walk towards the wing room.

After leaving the yard, she clearly felt that Luo Zhi's body relaxed a little, but he was still muttering to himself.

Back in the room, Luo Zhi sat at the table, half lying on it.

Qin Wei sat next to her, raised his hand to pour a glass of water and placed it next to her, speaking in a calm tone.

"Drink some water first to calm your nerves."

"Well, calm down... calm down..."

Luo Zhi was a little dazed. He held the cup to his mouth but didn't take a sip for a long time.

Her mind was now filled with the miserable condition of Madam Zhao in the well, and she couldn't calm down for a while.

However, Qin Wei was very patient at this moment. He was not in a hurry at all and just waited quietly.

After a while, until Luo Zhi put down the cup in his hand, she finally raised her hand, tapped the table lightly, and asked her.

"Tell me, how did you find Madam Zhao?"

Luo Zhi was stunned and looked at Qin Wei.

She seemed to find it hard to believe why Qin Wei could ask her what happened so calmly when someone had died and she was so scared.

But this was just a question, and Luo Zhi didn't say it out loud.

She opened her mouth but no sound came out. After a while, a little sound came out of her throat.

"After I woke up, I wanted to wash my face, but there was no water in the room, so I went to get some."

"I dropped the barrel, but I heard it hit something, so I pulled it up and looked inside."

"Then I saw Madam Zhao..."

Having said that, it is clear now.

I can only say that Luo Zhi is just unlucky.

Qin Wei pursed her lips. There were no obvious external injuries on Mrs. Zhao's head and arms. It seemed that the wooden barrel thrown by Luo Zhi at that time must have hit her stomach.

Then she took the bucket back, looked down and saw the body in the well.

It does leave some psychological trauma.

"You should have a good rest first. Do you need me to tell your brother to take care of you?"

"It's okay, I'll be fine by myself for a while." Luo Zhi shook her head. She was very confused right now and wanted to be alone.

Qin Wei didn't force her. Since she refused, he didn't say anything else.

After going out, he closed Luo Zhi's door and went towards Zhao Xiangxiang's room.

At this time, Zhao Zhiyan already knew about Madam Zhao's death and went to the yard. However, before he could get close to Madam Zhao's body, he was stopped by Shen Yao.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid I need to explain what you have been doing this afternoon."

Zhao Zhiyan naturally felt uncomfortable when he heard Shen Yao's question.

"What do you mean? My mother was killed by thieves. Do you suspect me?"

"There is no evidence to prove that your mother was murdered, so we need to know what you did in the afternoon."

Shen Yao had a cold face.

Pei Yan just glanced over here coldly and then shifted his gaze.

He stood up and walked towards the wellhead nearby, carefully examining the traces on it.

The entire area around the wellhead was very clean, with no scratches, and even the rope and wooden barrel on top were not damaged.

But if an adult falls into such a well, he will definitely struggle subconsciously when falling.

How is it possible that there are no traces left around?

The only possibility is poisoning. After the poison took effect, Mrs. Zhao became unable to speak and had no strength in her body.

So when it was thrown down, there were no scratches left around it.

Perhaps it was because of the suffocation after falling into the water, so it showed a certain degree of struggling behavior.

But she didn't have the strength to climb out, nor could she call for help, so she could only drown in the water.

Who on earth is it?

If Madam Zhao was poisoned, is this poison the same as the one that Mr. Qin was poisoned with?

Was it done by the same person, or were two people holding the same poison?

But Shen Lan and the others also said that when they searched those rooms before, they didn't find anything suspicious.

So even if it was poisoned, this thing would not be carried by anyone.

Before killing someone, the person must go to the place where the drugs are hidden, take them out, and then go back to kill the person.

If it's so troublesome, why do these two people have to die?

Unless this is the murderer's last chance, and he will have no chance again after leaving the Ancient An Ning Temple, this is reasonable.

Pei Yan frowned in thought, just standing quietly beside the well, and couldn't help but sigh.

"We have no water recently, which is very sad."

Shen Yao was still stopping Zhao Zhiyan. If he didn't tell him what he was doing in the afternoon, Shen Yao would not let him touch Mrs. Zhao's body.

Zhao Zhiyan finally compromised and could only lower his head and tell in detail what he was doing in the afternoon.

He just read for a while in his room in the afternoon, and then fell asleep when he felt sleepy. Apart from getting up to go to the toilet, he did nothing else.

But there was indeed no one who could prove his innocence in the process.

"How could I do such a thing to my mother?"

There were tears in his eyes and his whole body was shaking with excitement.

Thinking of Zhao Xiangxiang's reaction just now, Shen Yao finally stepped aside and let Zhao Zhiyan go forward to see Mrs. Zhao's body.

He burst into tears almost instantly and knelt down beside Mrs. Zhao.

The trembling hand that was stretched out did not fall on Mrs. Zhao in the end, but just smashed to the ground in anger.

"Mom! I shouldn't have done that earlier. I should have stayed with you!"

He lowered his head and cried sincerely.

Pei Yan just looked at him indifferently, and only looked away after a long while.
