Chapter 260 This Thing Is Most Emotionally Significant
Yu Manli paused at this point in her story.
At the same time, a look of hesitation and struggle appeared on her face.
This is a sign of a lack of self-confidence.
Even though she already had the answer in her heart, she still refused to believe the fact that was right in front of her.
Ye Shaohong had developed feelings for Yu Manli over time and naturally understood her temperament. With a glance, he saw Yu Manli's expression as if she wanted to speak several times, and Ye Shaohong immediately became suspicious.
He didn't rush to urge Yu Manli to respond, but instead stepped forward and put his arm around Yu Manli's slender waist.
With a hand as large as a palm leaf, Ye Shaohong instantly dispelled Yu Manli's struggles and anxieties. Only then did Ye Shaohong lean down and whisper in Yu Manli's ear.
"Don't be afraid."
"Tell me who that person is?"
At this moment, Yu Manli had already succumbed to Ye Shaohong's skillful techniques. If it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders in the room, she probably would have already collapsed into Ye Shaohong's arms.
Also with some reservations, Yu Manli twisted her waist and broke free from Ye Shaohong's clutches.
She then gave Ye Shaohong a look that seemed both angry and resentful before calming herself down and slowly recounting what she had discovered.
"It's Grandma!"
"I've only ever smelled this rouge scent, which is similar to osmanthus and has a hint of orchid fragrance, on my great-grandmother."
Yu Manli's guess made Ye Shaohong fall into deep thought. He suddenly remembered something.
When I was having dinner and drinks with Sun Yihai just now, he mentioned that the night Sun Yihui died happened to be a stormy night.
When Sun Yihui returned home by car, his clothes were soaked through.
Grandma personally changed Sun Yihui's clothes and brewed ginger soup for her to drink to ward off the cold.
That same evening, Sun Yihui committed suicide.
He also drank poison.
At the scene of the Third Concubine's death, Yu Manli smelled the scent of the rouge that the First Madam used daily.
Are those two consecutive cases related to the eldest grandmother?
It's fair to say she's highly suspicious.
So what was her motive for murder?
With too little information, Ye Shaohong couldn't make an accurate judgment. He could only suppress his doubts for the time being and prepare to find an opportunity to investigate further.
"Besides the lingering scent of rouge in the room, have you discovered anything else?"
After a brief moment of thought, Ye Shaohong casually asked another question.
"Have!"
"I also discovered that the third concubine had a habit of frequently taking contraceptives!"
As the voice rang out, Yu Manli had already opened a very hidden little mechanism on the dressing table and taken out three prescriptions of different ages.
It was handed over to Ye Shaohong.
"Are these all prescriptions for contraception?"
"Judging from the condition of these three prescriptions, Third Madam has been taking medicine for quite some time now." After a brief inspection, a smile quietly crept onto Ye Shaohong's lips.
Ye Shaohong found that things were getting more and more interesting.
If he remembers correctly, Sun Yihai also said that his older brother, Sun Yihui, married seven concubines, but only gave birth to three daughters for him.
None of them have a handle.
Given this situation, the third concubine should have taken fertility medicine in order to gain favor and secure her position in the Sun family.
Why would someone take contraceptive pills?
Could it be that she and Sun Yihui have a conflict?
Moreover, this conflict was so great that she disregarded her own situation.
Or is this contraceptive not intended for Sun Yihui at all, but for someone else?
Is the third concubine having an affair? If so, who is the man?
Servants of the Sun family?
Or... Sun Yihai?
If it's Sun Yihai, how much of the story he told at the banquet tonight is true and how much is false?
One question after another arose in his mind, but they were all speculations without any evidence, and Ye Shaohong was unable to make an accurate judgment.
He could only keep these discoveries in his mind.
At the same time, Ye Shaohong looked at Yu Manli with anticipation, wanting to see if she had made any new discoveries.
The result, of course, was no.
Yu Manli shook her head. Seeing that neither Li Yunlong nor Zhuang Yifan had noticed her, Yu Manli raised her hand and gently pinched the tender flesh on Ye Shaohong's waist.
Ye Shaohong felt the pain and quickly fled into the distance.
Ye Shaohong walked back to the body of the third concubine and coughed lightly.
Li Yunlong stood up upon hearing the sound.
"Team leader, the inspection is complete."
"Indeed, no other findings were made."
Zhuang Yifan, who was standing next to him, also responded in agreement.
Seeing this, Ye Shaohong was somewhat disappointed, but he did not give up completely.
"In that case, let's go out first."
"Manli, you stay here for now and examine the Third Concubine's body again to see if there are any new discoveries."
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped out of the room. Li Yunlong's eyes flashed, and he was about to follow him out, but suddenly he found that Zhuang Yifan was still standing there dumbfounded.
He looked completely confused and bewildered.
"Let's go."
"Are you stupid? Do you want to stand here and watch women take off their clothes?"
"what?"
"Oh, I see..."
Zhuang Yifan was startled and finally understood the real reason why Ye Shaohong had called them out. After the three of them left, Zhuang Yifan immediately closed the door.
Yu Manli's suppressed laughter could be heard coming from inside.
After leaving the house, Ye Shaohong and the other two naturally turned their attention to Zhou Haichao.
Looking at his pale face, trembling body, and the terrified look he kept glancing at the room, Li Yunlong made no attempt to hide his smirk.
"Deputy Section Chief Zhou, this won't do either."
"You've seen dead people before, haven't you? You've killed plenty of people yourself, so why are you afraid of this?"
Zhuang Yifan chuckled foolishly. Although he didn't directly kick Zhou Haichao when he was down, he didn't hide the disdain in his eyes.
"this……."
Zhou Haichao smiled sheepishly and quickly bowed to Ye Shaohong, apologizing repeatedly.
He claimed that he had lost his composure.
Ye Shaohong was disappointed.
Ye Shaohong waved his hand, as if he didn't care about the matter. He even went up to Zhou Haichao himself and asked about his health in a hypocritical and polite manner.
I told him to get a good rest tonight.
Such a caring attitude naturally moved Zhou Haichao to tears, and he almost burst into tears in front of Ye Shaohong.
Just then, the door to the room behind them opened.
Yu Manli walked out of the room, nodded slightly to Ye Shaohong, and then handed him a handkerchief. Ye Shaohong took it and looked at it, his smile widening.
Because he saw a line of delicate handwriting on the handkerchief.
"Red beans grow in the south, and this is the most evocative symbol of longing!"
