Chapter 1088: Who is the Killer?

he heThe young earthen ability user stuttered a bit, he had watched the whole process just now, never expecting the willow tree to start "eating" the zombie birds."Plants have also begun to mutate!"W...This courtyard was guarded so tightly that it was impenetrable. After entering the main hall, Lian'er saw three young masters of the Wen family, and an elderly man with white hair who radiated authority.

Besides her, there were Hong Ling'er and Song Jia in the main hall. The two seemed to have entered the hall earlier than herself.

"Since everyone is here, let's begin!"

The white-haired man glanced at the three ripples, and spoke in a faint voice.

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

Lian Yi looked at Wen Shi Rui with a bewildered expression, as if he didn't know what to make of the situation.

Wen Shirui did not respond to Lianyi, but took a step forward and said:

My father was stabbed last night and is currently unconscious due to his injuries. Wentian Fort is temporarily closed until the culprit is found. No one is allowed to leave until then.

"What does this have to do with me I stayed at Ziyuntang all night and didn't go out."

Liàn Yī wrinkled her brow.

"Miss Hua, please calm down and take a look at this first."

Wen Shiru said faintly, then waved his hand. A guard came over carrying a tray with a blood-stained handkerchief on it.

"Huh Isn't this my handkerchief How did it get here"

Ripples asked in confusion.

Before my father fell into a coma, he was clutching this handkerchief in his hand.

Wen Shiru said softly.

"Do you suspect me"

Ripple immediately pulled a sour face and said, displeased.

Miss Hua, this is your personal belonging. How did it end up in my father's study Please explain.

Wen Shirui still calmly asked.

"What's there to explain Someone must be trying to frame me! After I entered Wenjia Fort, I stayed in Ziyun Courtyard the whole time. I have no idea whether the master's study faces south or north!"

Even if I knew, how could I get past so many guards Are the Wen family's guards just for show

Furthermore, my handkerchief isn't just this one. I change it every day. Once used by me, I won't use it a second time. Just now, Wen Ying, who is in charge, brought over the box that holds my handkerchiefs and pouches. You can take a look.

It's not just me who has access to my handkerchief. The two maidservants who attend to me can also get it. They were assigned to me by the Wen family, but who knows who they are taking instructions from.

Besides, this young lady is going to kill someone. How could she possibly carry something that would expose her identity

With just a few words, she cleansed herself thoroughly. In the end, she looked at Wen Shirui and smiled, her lips curving into a knowing expression as she said:

"Young Master Wen, you should be able to find out if I left Purple Cloud Courtyard last night, shouldn't you"

Wen Shirui let out a light cough, but didn't respond. Instead, he turned to Hong Ling'er and asked faintly:

Miss Hong, why did you leave Xianyun Garden last night

I was just having a little trouble sleeping, so I came out for a walk and then I saw...

Having said that, he also glanced at the ripples before continuing:

"I saw a dark shadow flash, it seemed to enter Ziyun Courtyard, so I instinctively chased after it, wanting to find out what was going on. But I lost track of it."

"When I wanted to go back to the courtyard to find the maidservant, I discovered that I couldn't enter the courtyard."

"Hong Ling'er, you're trying to frame me! You're guilty yourself and want to deflect blame. Are you sure that man in black jumped into my courtyard"

Liàn Yī raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Me"

Hong Ling'er looked at Lian Ri's determined expression, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, as if she had realized something, she immediately whispered:

Perhaps I jumped to conclusions. After all, besides Ziyun Garden, the direction the men in black went also leads to Luoyun Garden.

Song Jia, who had always been in the background, also raised her head at this time. A pair of surprise-filled almond eyes:

I told my maid to light some incense to help me sleep before bed. I slept soundly until dawn and didn't know what had happened at all. After breakfast, I was brought here, but I don't know anything about it.

The grand hall fell silent for a moment.

How could ripples cool down the atmosphere With such a good opportunity, she naturally wanted to stir things up: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Grand Elder, Young Master Wen, I understand that you suspect us outsiders because the head of the Wen family was injured after we entered the inner courtyard. After all, it's reasonable to have suspicions given the circumstances."

But we three are not young women living alone. We were brought here by the Wen family, as future wives of the Wen clan. Before sufficient evidence is presented, you cannot wrongly accuse us.

And in my opinion, the most likely person to have injured Master Wen is someone from within your manor. After all, they would be familiar with the environment, could move undetected by the guards, and wouldn't be anticipated by Master Wen himself. Such a person wouldn't be common.

Everyone inside the main hall fell silent after hearing Lian Ri's words. In fact, they had guessed this possibility as well. They just needed to investigate the outsider first due to their presence.

"The killer might have used us three to distract you, making it easier for him to escape."

Ripples spread her hands.

Wen Shirui gave Lian Yi a deep look, but did not reply. He only gave the guards beside him a look, and the guard silently withdrew.

Wen Shixuan suddenly spoke:

Actually, there's another way to find the culprit.

"Shixuan, what's the way"

The Elder asked.

Once the father wakes up, he will naturally know who the culprit is.

But the master is in a coma, are you confident that you can wake him up

"Yes, but I'm missing one ingredient."

Wen X Xuan finished speaking and looked at Lian Yi.

With a flicker of her rippling eyes, she understood the other party's meaning, but she didn't respond.

"What medicine Have you sent someone to find it"

"

It can't be found outside, only Miss Hua has it in her hands.

"

Wen Shixuan spoke frankly.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the hall turned to look at Lianyi, who smiled and said:

"So you were thinking of the Violet Essence Flower in my hand, it's not impossible. It's just that the medicine I have is really precious, and I wouldn't be willing to donate it for free."

What does Miss Hua want

“I told Third Young Master Wen, the Zi Yun flower is my dowry. Since First Young Master Wen married me, I am naturally willing to take it out to save people. After all, the head of the family is also my father-in-law. The rest is irrelevant.”

Ripple said resolutely.

Wen Shixuan turned her head to look at her older brother after hearing this, hoping he would make the decision. After all, there was only one Ziyun flower, so if it was used to save their father, there wouldn't be any left to cure her brother's cold poison.

This matter requires careful consideration. Before the culprit who harmed the homeowner is found, the three young ladies will have to bear with this inconvenience for now.

The Grand Elder waved his hand, and the three were escorted away from the Council Hall of Wenjiabao by black-clad guards. They were taken to the dungeon and even enjoyed single rooms.

After entering the dungeon, the three of them fell silent, as if the argument in the hall had never happened.

At midnight, when all was still, a puff of white smoke drifted into the dungeon, followed by a "creak" as the lock clicked open. A dark figure slipped into Lian Yi's cell, reaching for her waist.

Ripple suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the other person's hand, and sneered:

"How can you be so impatient Do you think I would carry the Zi Yun flower with me at all times"

The Masked Man knew he was exposed, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. The sword in his hand plunged directly towards Ripple's chest.sigh, Lian Yi spoke softly:"Cherries, you have to know that I wasn't raised by my mother after all. Our relationship is naturally a bit distant, and there are some things I can't hope for."Cherry watc...
