After the Old Mama finished, she knelt in front of Lin Chujiu and knocked her head on the floor three times.
“Mama, get up quickly. You don"t need to say anything, I will do it eventually. Lin Chujiu stretched her arm to help the Old Mama, but the Old Mama refused, she kept sticking her forehead to the floor: "With Young Miss words, this slave is relieved. Young Miss, Master Meng is waiting for you outside. This slave is going to change laofuren"s clothes. Laofuren lived as a n.o.ble all her life. There"s no reason for her to wear ordinary clothes like this."
“Good.” Lin Chujiu knows that the Old Mama will eventually change Meng Laofuren"s clothes. There is no reason for her disturb her.
When she got up, she looked at the old lady emotionally. Lin Chujiu stopped crying, but she knelt once again.
“Grandmother, I" sorry.” Lin Chujiu knelt in front of the bed and bowed her head three times, then she went outside firmly.
She won’t, she will never let go of that person who killed her grandmother.
No matter who it is, that person will pay the price!

When Lin Chujiu came out, she asked Meng s.h.i.+ where are the two dead maidservants.
“They are still in their room, I"m ready to report this case to the officials by daybreak." Although Meng s.h.i.+ was not a capable master, he was not stupid. Of course, he knows that there was something strange about this matter. However, just like what the Old Mama said, even though he knew something was wrong, he has no way to find out.
“Take me there to see them.” Lin Chujiu said with red eyes.
Everyone knows that Meng Laofuren"s death was related to the two maidservants. Seeing Lin Chujiu wanted to see the two people"s corpse, everyone understands it.
“I will take you there.” Meng Dafuren stood up.
Meng Laofuren"s death forced Meng Dafuren to grow a backbone.
Because the two maidservants take care of the old lady, they live in the backyard not far away from her.
The two maidservants lived in one room together. Meng Dafuren concluded that the other one strangled her companion to death before she killed herself. Lin Chujiu refused to accept this conclusion. She let the maidservant next to her to open the door and enter with the lantern.
The ground under the maidservant’s feet was an ordinary ground. When she walked in, there were footprints. Lin Chujiu also came in, but stared at the ground for a long time… …
Meng Dafuren was standing outside, so she saw Lin Chujiu"s strange behavior. She was puzzled by this, but she didn"t say anything.
The footprints on the ground were very messy. It seemed like many people walked in recently. The footsteps were overlapping each other, there was no proper direction at all.
Lin Chujiu went in and walked over to the bedside. Not so far from the bed, she found two deep footprints. From its size and depth, it should belong to a woman who carried a heavy object.
Looking at the two dead bodies lying on the bed side by side and their shoes. Lin Chujiu was sure that the deep footprints don"t belong to the two deceased. If her inference was right, the murderer killed them outside and carried them into this room.
Obviously, this room was not the first scene of the crime.
So, where is the first scene?
Whose footprints are those?
This, this matter must be checked clearly. If not, she will not be able to live in peace for the rest of her life!
