Beauty was also a kind of superpower. It could make people addicted and willing to sacrifice themselves.
Beauty was also a kind of disaster. When you didn't have the ability to protect your wealth, you could only be robbed.
Chen Jue was the first to recover from Li Xiao's beauty. But even so, his eyes still couldn't help but wander around her cheeks.
Wang Hua wiped his saliva, oh no, the tea that flowed out, and stared blankly.
Xu Ting took a sip of tea in a daze. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. With such a face, such an appearance … how could she be so miserable?
[Oh, that's right. She looks like a little girl who has no one to rely on. If she really shows that kind of face, I'm afraid she would have been abducted by some master to his backyard. The result wouldn't be good either …]
Li Xiao hurriedly lowered her head and pulled up the mask to cover her face.
Xu Ting pursed his lips. If she looked like this, she would be molested and wouldn't be able to fight back.
"Don't cover it. I've seen it. It's useless to cover it." Chen Jue snorted and turned his head to wave at the registrar.
The registrar hurriedly moved a stool to sit by the table, spread out the brush and ink, and seriously prepared.
"When did you move to the capital?" Zhang Tang looked up at Li Xiao and asked.
He didn't see Li Xiao's face just now. He was staring at Chen Jue, afraid that he would miss Lord Chen's every move. It was really hard to follow this lord. Not only was he ordered around day and night, but he was also often abused!
His temperament was unpredictable and unpredictable. One moment, he was fine, and the next moment, he could cause a storm. Unfortunately, the Emperor did not care much about him. He looked as if he was letting Jue Chen stir up trouble as he pleased.
Within the Yamen of the Supreme Court, it was really tough.
Li Xiao quietly glanced at Zhang Tang, then turned to look at Chen Jue before saying, "Two months ago."
Wang Hua and Xu Ting looked at each other. It was when the first pregnant woman was cut open.
Chen Jue, on the other hand, was leaning against the soft chair indifferently and drinking tea leisurely, as if he had nothing to do with the matter and was on vacation at the seaside.
But his calm face and the sharp light in his eyes let others know that he was listening attentively.
"Where is your ancestral home?" The registrar asked again.
They had already found out about this, but they still had to ask to see how this' criminal 'behaved.
"Yanshan, Beiping …" Li Xiao bit her lower lip. She quietly raised her eyes and saw that the registrar, Zhang Tang, was still staring at her. Only then did she lower her head and say, "Yuanling Li Village."
"…" Zhang Tang turned his head and glanced at Chen Jue.
Chen Jue glanced at Zhang Tang. Seeing that Zhang Tang's wild dog-like face showed an expression of wanting to say something, he felt disgusted. "If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hide it."
"Half a year ago, a case was submitted to the capital from Beiping of Yanshan. Twelve people died in a village. They were all smashed to death by boulders almost at the same time … However, the coroner investigated and said that it didn't seem to be a natural disaster or an accident … But it's impossible for someone to have the ability to make so many boulders fall from the mountain at the same time and smash twelve people to death."
Zhang Tang glanced at Li Xiao. "This case is still an unsolved case. Because there are no clues and it's reasonable, it's temporarily put on hold … I think it's called Li Village."
Chen Jue listened to Zhang Tang, but his eyes were fixed on Li Xiao.
Li Xiao lowered her head the whole time and didn't respond.
Xu Ting's eyes fell on Zhang Tang's face. He had long heard that there was a registrar in Dali Monastery who had a photographic memory. So it was this wild dog-like face?
Chen Jue waved his hand. Zhang Tang showed a dissatisfied expression, but he was afraid that Chen Jue would see it. He quickly put on a work expression and continued to ask, "What did you want to do when you went to Wang Yi?"
"I … A few days ago, I sent food that I made to Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao next door … I went to Big Brother Wang because I wanted to give him fried fruits to eat. I … I live here alone because I want to have a good relationship with the neighbors." Li Xiao's voice was soft, like a little sister next door.
"Well, then why did you knock on the door again after a while?"
Zhang Tang's voice was flat. It didn't sound like an interrogation, nor was it fierce. Instead, it sounded like a teacher testing a student's knowledge.
Li Xiao shifted his buttocks to make himself more comfortable before he said, "I'm not sure.
"I … I once learned the Six Lines Divination from a master, and I can be considered to have a rough understanding of it.
After I knocked on the door for the first time, I … I looked at Big Brother Wang's face and was afraid that there would be a bloody disaster.
After I went back, I felt a little uneasy, so I wanted to tell him as a warning. "This was the excuse she had thought of in the dungeon last night. At this moment, she didn't stutter when she said it.
Zhang Tang frowned and looked at the little girl in front of him. She was as thin as a little chick. Could it be that she also knew how to read people's faces?
Half a month ago, after the first pregnant woman died, three more pregnant women had their babies cut open one after another. The method was extremely cruel. They were all cut open with a knife, and it was bloody.
From the wound on Liu Yunan's back, it was obvious that the murderer was the same person. He was afraid that the murderer wanted to kill Lady Liu and take the unborn baby in Lady Liu's belly, but he didn't want to kill the wrong person in the dark.
Now, Zhang Tang really felt that it was meaningless to interrogate this little girl. How could such a weak child kill so many pregnant women?
Moreover, they were all pregnant women in different districts of the capital. Some pregnant women even lived in deep mansions. How could such a weak girl like her do it?
Moreover, if Li Xiao was so skilled, she could directly jump from the wall of her house to Wang Yi's courtyard to kill people. Wouldn't that save her a lot of trouble?
Why did she knock on the door and give him fried fruits? Wasn't this just looking for trouble?
It was just a coincidence. When Liu Yunan died, this unlucky little girl happened to be there.
However, Zhang Tang looked at Chen Jue's face and still chose to take notes seriously and be a well-behaved and obedient registrar.
"Tell me about what you saw, thought, and did that day," Zhang Tang said.
Under the sun, Li Xiao's eyelashes flickered. Her big black and white eyes were shining. She was very beautiful.
When she was first brought here, everyone just thought that she looked like a little beggar with big eyes.
But now, except for Zhang Tang, who didn't see her face, everyone's impression of her changed to: a beautiful, poor girl who could be bullied like a fairy.
Unconsciously, Xu Ting and Wang Hua's expressions softened a lot.
Wang Hua stared at Li Xiao's exposed skin and eyes hungrily.
Li Xiao thought about it. What appeared in her mind was not only Wang Yi and Liu Yunan, but also a moving shadow that she wasn't sure whether it was real or not. Maybe it was just an illusion caused by the light?
She licked her lips, lowered her head and pondered for a while. Then, she looked up at Chen Jue.
Could she say it?
Could she say those crazy words that would be regarded as demons and ghosts to Lord Chen?
The image of her mother being burned to death appeared in her mind again. She shrank back and lowered her head again.
Under the sun, Chen Jue was also looking at Li Xiao. His eyes were slightly deep, making his long and narrow eyes mysterious and difficult to see the emotions in them.
The shadow of his eyelashes fell on his eyes, making them look even colder and deeper.
