Chapter 112 - 70: Recognizing the White Bone
Wan Lu got off the carriage for a while and came back, saying, "Wife, Inspector Liu wants to personally preside over the murder case, the one involving Fan Chun!"
Ran Yan looked through the bamboo curtain and glanced outside. Wan Lu leaned forward and whispered, "Wife, it is said that Wei Niang has exposed that Yin Miaomiao is the mastermind..."
Ran Yan tensed up, lowered her gaze in contemplation for a moment, and said, "Go quietly to the entrance of the Government Office and tell the Government Official that Ran Shiqi wishes to visit Inspector Liu regarding the case."
At this moment, Inspector Liu might not necessarily agree to meet her. Ran Yan was just trying her luck; if she could get in and listen, that would be best. If not, then so be it.
Wan Lu acknowledged and got off the carriage again. Ran Yan watched the tightly shut doors of the Government Office, connecting all the events of the past few days in her mind, including the dream that had troubled her for a long time.
Yin Wanwan had been drowned in a pond. Why was she drowned? Ran Yunsheng had said that she often ignored family rules and sneaked out to play. Could it be because she broke the family rules and thus was drowned by the Yin family? But in the progressively liberal Great Tang, were there really such cruel feudal punishments?
Or did Yin Wanwan have some intimate interactions with Qin Silang, so Yin Miaomiao killed out of jealousy? Later, feeling sorry for Yin Wanwan, thinking that all this was because of Qin Silang, did she want to die with Qin Silang to atone for her sins?
That explanation was somewhat plausible. Then why would Wei Niang and Cui Mei collaborate with Yin Miaomiao in the crime? What was her motive for killing the maid Fan Chun? And what was her motive for killing Han Shan?
