"Miss, look here quickly!" Jingshuang pulled back a piece of hair on the back of Madam Wei's head and let Cen Xiyan watch.

Cen Xiyan held the candlestick and moved closer to Lady Wei's hair. He looked carefully at the place pointed by Jingshuang and saw a faint silver light.

"It seems like a silver needle!" Jingshuang said.

"Yes." Cen Xiyan nodded and stared at the silver light. It was indeed a silver needle!

The needle body had already penetrated most of Madam Wei's head, leaving only a small section outside the scalp.

This can explain how Mrs. Wei died. It seems that she first took a powerful psychedelic drug, and while she was unconscious, a needle was inserted into the fatal part of her brain, causing her to struggle.

It was too late, she was killed instantly, and then she was thrown into the water, creating the illusion that she slipped and fell into the well and accidentally drowned.

Because Lady Wei died after being comatose and her death occurred too quickly, her expression did not become painful and ferocious.

At this time, Jingshuang stretched out her hand and was about to take out the needle from Madam Wei's head.

Cen Xiyan stretched out his hand to stop Jingshuang and said, "No need."

Hearing this, Jingshuang raised her head and looked at Cen Xiyan in confusion.

Cen Xiyan explained: "No one in the house intends to investigate the cause of Mrs. Wei's death. The body will be buried tomorrow. It makes no sense for us to leave it without a certificate."

Even if she could find out who the owner of the silver needle was and the body was gone, she couldn't prove that it was the murder weapon that killed Madam Wei. Moreover, she couldn't explain to others how she found the murder weapon.

Cen Xiyan came over tonight to check on Mrs. Wei's body. Actually, Cen Xiyan just wanted to confirm whether Mrs. Wei really slipped and fell into the well or whether she committed suicide. As for other matters, she had to consider them in the long run.

Jingshuang is a smart girl. After a brief change of mind, she understood what Cen Xiyan was thinking. She nodded and restored Madam Wei's messed up hair.

Cen Xiyan re-covered the coffin lid, put the candlestick back in place, and whispered: "Okay, let's go back."

"Yes!" Jingshuang nodded, followed closely behind Cen Xiyan, left the memorial shed and walked out of the yard.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the courtyard, Cen Xiyan suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Jingshuang, and quickly led her to the corner of the wall behind a small shrub. He lowered his voice and said in her ear: "Squat down, don't make any sound, someone is coming!"

"

Jingshuang was startled and hurriedly squatted down next to Cen Xiyan, lowering her head and not daring to breathe.

Not long ago, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard. It sounded like it was not one person, but two people. Although their footsteps were very light, it was still audible. They did not deliberately cover up their whereabouts.

Jingshuang knew that her internal strength was not as good as Cen Xiyan's, so she breathed lighter and lighter, for fear of being discovered by others.

Soon, two people entered the courtyard from the outside. They were holding lanterns in their hands. They came unabashedly and openly.

Cen Xiyan looked at the person coming through the gap in the tree crown, and saw that among the two people who came in, the one walking in front was her third uncle Cen Lan!

As for the person holding a lantern in his hand, who was half a step behind Cen Lan, Cen Xiyan was not impressed. He looked like an old servant serving in Cen Lan's yard.

Cen Xiyan was not surprised to see Cen Lan come to check on Lady Wei's body. After all, Cen Lan was the first person in the Cen family to question the cause of Lady Wei's death.

When Cen Lan arrived at the simple funeral shed, she was not in a hurry to check the body. Instead, she burned some paper money in the brazier and muttered something.

Cen Xiyan pricked up his ears, but what he heard Cen Lan said was: "Mrs. Wei, maybe I harmed you. If you had participated in those things, you deserved this fate. If you had not participated... your

I will avenge you." He paused and then said: "It's a pity that you left before I asked you clearly about those things..."

After burning the paper money, Cen Lan said to the person next to him: "Uncle Mu, help me open the coffin."

"Yes, Third Master." The old servant named Amu trembled, then reached out and opened the lid of the coffin.

Cen Lan lowered her head and looked at Madam Wei's body in the coffin, then leaned forward and reached out to touch and inspect the body.

Amu quickly stopped him and said, "Third Master, this corpse is filthy and unlucky. Don't get your hands dirty. Why don't you let me do it?"

"Okay." Cen Lan didn't insist and directed Amu to check Madam Wei's body.

After checking for a long time and finding nothing, Cen Lan also took out the poison-testing silver needle and checked Madam Wei's body and blood to see if there were any venom components, but still found nothing unusual.

Cen Lan walked back and forth in the coffin with her hands behind her back. Then she turned back and looked into the coffin. Her eyes inadvertently noticed that Madam Wei's hair was a little messy.

As soon as his heart moved, he ordered Amu: "Check her head!"

Amu responded "Yes" and started groping for Madam Wei's head.

Originally Amu didn't have much hope and was just following Cen Lan's instructions to do routine things, but unexpectedly, he really discovered something!

"Third Master, look! There is indeed something in Madam Wei's head!" Amu exclaimed.

Hearing this, Cen Lan quickly lowered her head and came over.

At this time, Amu had already pulled out the silver needle that was buried in Madam Wei's head, and said in surprise: "Third Master, Madam Wei was indeed killed by someone!"

Cen Lan took out a piece of handkerchief, held the three-inch-long needle and looked at it, then carefully wrapped the needle with the handkerchief, and told Amu: "Don't make any noise about this matter!"

"Yes, Third Master, I understand." Amu quickly agreed.

Cen Lan then ordered Amu to close the coffin lid, and the two of them carried lanterns and left the small courtyard.

It wasn't until Cen Lan and Amu walked far away and the footsteps could no longer be heard that Cen Xiyan pulled Jingshuang out of the flowers and trees.

Fortunately, it hasn't snowed in the past few days. Although there is no one in the yard, it is usually cleaned very clean, so there are no footprints of their masters and servants on the ground.

"I didn't expect that Third Master would also come to check on Madam Wei's body, and that needle was actually taken away by Third Master." Jingshuang murmured in a low voice.

"Third uncle already had doubts about Madam Wei's death, so it's not surprising that he came to check out the cause of Madam Wei's death." Cen Xiyan paused for a moment and then said, "That's fine."

No matter what purpose Cen Lan had taken the needle for, or whether it would be exposed, it was more convenient than what she had to do.

After Master and Servant Jingshuang returned to Jinglan Pavilion in Cenxiyan, Jingshuang tolerated the pig bladder glove that had touched Mrs. Wei's body, and then ran to the clean room and vomited loudly, and ate the food she had eaten at night.

Vomited it all out!
