171. Show your face

"If you ask in person, the murderer will naturally want to hide it," Lu Lian's calm gaze swept over Qiao Lezi and the young talents who were also looking at her in front of her, "The key to this case is who has entered the room where Miss Gao is alone, in order to prevent the murderer from improvising, you might as well send a note to everyone present, and tell you how many times you have entered that room, and who can testify for yourself. When I entered the room, I also saw someone writing it down in the room, during which no one was allowed to talk to each other, and after writing it, he signed his name and handed it to the adult, who only had to compare the contents of the paper one by one, and then he could find out the liar. ”

When the young ladies heard it, they felt that this method was okay, not only would they not expose everyone's quarrels today, but they were not afraid of accidentally offending people, only Qiao Lezi could read this paper, and others would not know about it - this Lu Lian is really loved and hated today!

Qiao Lezi couldn't help but laugh "hehe" when he heard Lu Lian's idea, and after laughing, he realized that his smile was very similar to Yan Da Snake's nerves that usually smile and don't smile, and he didn't expect this "hehe" to be so good that he could fully express his mood at the moment, if this hehe mood is summed up in two words, that is:

SB。

"Since this young lady is so enthusiastic about proposing a well-thought-out method," Qiao Lezi said with a smile, "Then you might as well try this method first, this official can't live up to this young lady's kindness." ”

"Don't dare, the juniors are just doing their best, and justice is what every one of our Kyoto people should do," Lu Lian smiled gently, and gently raised her jade wrist to pull the hair (not) behind her ears, this action can best reflect the charm and charm of the girl, "The juniors want to help the adults to solve this case as soon as possible, and ask for an explanation for Miss Gao." ”

Wu Yue really wanted to slap Lu Lian's face.

Why did this Qiao Datou listen to her idea! Can he still be a little assertive?! No wonder he can't marry a daughter-in-law until now!

Qiao Lezi felt an itchy nose, and forcibly didn't put the sneeze out, so he sat on the top for a long time, watching the daughters below take a pen and paper and find a table to write and draw on it, five, six, seven and three people were the first to hand in the papers, because they were always together, and Miss Gao's room had only been entered once, and there was no one else in the room except Miss Gao when she entered.

Wu Yue handed the paper into Qiao Lezi's hand, and couldn't help but lower his voice and said to him: "Master Qiao, you listen to her so lightly?

Qiao Lezi glanced to the side, suddenly turned her big head towards this box, and also lowered her voice and said: "It's not enough for her to know a 'fart' herself, she has to let everyone know that she knows a 'fart'." ”

"Poof-" Wu Yue hurriedly covered his mouth, and Lu Rong was also next to him, but he didn't dare to laugh.

Qiao Lezi blinked at the two of them, sat up on the shelf again, and after a while, everyone handed over the paper in their hands, Qiao Lezi turned over the paper one by one, handed the stack of paper to Xuandehou next to him, and said: "The situation seems to be a little complicated, the official can't figure it out for a while, how about asking Xuandehou to sort it out on behalf of the official?"

Xuandehou took it and flipped it for a while, and laughed directly: "I can't help this, let's ask Liu Shen to help in the future." ”

Liu Shen is both civil and military, and after half of Shanwen read the paper in his hand, half of Shanwu unceremoniously sprayed: "What kind of thing is this!

Lu Lian's face suddenly turned into a pickle, and it took a long time to adjust it back, and asked Qiao Lezi with a strong smile: "My lord...... This is the ...... What's wrong?"

"Oh, this young lady can go over and flip through it herself. Qiao Lezi pointed to the table.

Lu Lian walked over worriedly, took the stack of papers in her hand and looked at them carefully, and when she landed, she felt that her face was staggered and staggered, and she saw that all kinds of different handwriting on those papers were similar answers:

"It seems like I've been in three times."

"Went in 2 or 3 times"

"I didn't pay attention to anyone else when I went in"

"There were people when I went in, but I didn't pay attention to who it was"

"Zhang San and Li Si can testify for me, and we will go in together" - Wang Wu

"I went in with Li Si alone" - Zhang San

"I went in with Liu Liu and Zhao Qi" - Li Si

……

At that time, everyone was in a hurry to find the wrench, who would pay attention to others!

At that time, all the attention was on the corner of the corner, who would count which room they had entered several times!

This messy answer was like a small hand with a strange shape, long and short, and it was slapped Lu Lian's face, and the horn sounded directly, so that everyone in the audience could hear it clearly.

Qiao Lezi withdrew his gaze from Lu Lian's slightly trembling hand holding the paper, and shook his big head: This little girl thinks about a piece too simply, the more crowded the occasion, the more preoccupied with something, the more vague and confused the parties' memories of the surrounding things and characters, and it is very easy to deviate and misjudge, although the context of this case is clear, it is actually quite difficult to get accurate testimony, and the most effective way is also the slowest way, that is, to interrogate one by one, relying on words and emotions and interrogation skills to force the murderer to show his feet。

Qiao Lezi was very confident in this, but it just took some time, so he regrouped his spirits and prepared to call people to other rooms one by one to ask questions alone, and he began to secretly observe the looks on the faces of everyone in the hall from the moment he sat down to the upper seat, a group of twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, impulsively injured people, and now life and death are uncertain, it is strange if he is not panicked in his heart, and he is born from his heart, unless he is like the little fat girl of Yan Zike's family, who has not encountered a wooden face for a hundred years, otherwise he will definitely show something on his face or actions.

In fact, after this observation, Qiao Lezi had roughly circled two or three suspicious people, so he planned to start with these two or three people.

raised his arm and was about to point to one of the heads, when he suddenly heard the little girl named Lu Lotus next to him whisper with a little hesitation: "My lord...... Is it possible that the pears and dates that Miss Gao grabbed in her hand were to testify against the murderer?"

Qiao Lezi lowered her arms and tilted her head to look at this little girl who had always been quiet and quiet, at this moment she was looking at him, her shy eyes were full of serious thoughts, there was no self-righteous publicity, there was no impetuousness that did not know the depths, and there was no self-expression with other plans, her simple thoughts were all presented in this pair of eyes like a clear spring stream, and at a glance she could understand her only thought at the moment, that is, "I have seriously considered this matter and come up with a well-founded answer."

"Why do you have such thoughts?" Qiao Lezi asked her with a pleasant face.

"The fruit bowl in Miss Gao's room, we used to flip it when we were looking for a wrench," Lu Rong said softly, "I remember that plate contains pears, citrus, apples, peaches and dates, there are not many dates, they are all piled on top, if the fruit bowl is touched to the ground, the dates should roll the farthest, if Miss Gao grabs the fruit on the ground to find a sense of security, why do you want to grab the smallest date inside?" The other fruits add up to more than the number of dates, since one hand has caught a pear, then the other hand should be able to catch pears or other fruits nearby, it is unlikely that there are only dates nearby, and if there are both dates and other fruits nearby, in order to seek a sense of security, Miss Gao should choose to catch a larger fruit to ......"

Qiao Lezi raised his eyebrows when he listened to it, this look was also learned from his good friend Yan Zike, but how tasteful it is for people to raise their eyebrows, he raised his eyebrows like he was watching fun, and the lack of beating value directly exploded the table, so that Lu Rong didn't dare to go on as he spoke: Did I say something too bizarre that made this person start to look at me as a joke?

Qiao Lezi didn't notice it, and his thoughts were following Lu Rong's words: "When you say that, it seems that it is really a bit of a doorway, just now I checked the scene in that room, and found that from the bloodstains, Miss Gao had crawled on the floor, I originally thought that she was struggling or trying to escape because of pain, but now it seems that it is also possible to catch the dates that fell far away." However, how can this jujube identify the murderer? Could it be that some of these people are called pears or jujubes, or are there relatives in the family who are engaged in the business of pears or jujubes?"

Lu Rong pursed her lips and said softly tentatively: "If you want to testify against the murderer, I think it is more straightforward to point out the name of the murderer, not to mention that Miss Gao was in danger at the time, I am afraid I don't have time to think too much." ”

"That makes sense," Qiao Lezi smiled encouragingly at Lu Rong, and turned to ask the people below, "Do you have any homonyms with the word 'pear' or 'jujube' in your young lady's name and surname?" ”

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, then shook their heads in unison.

I don't know when Lu Lian, who hid behind others, raised her eyelids and glanced at Lu Rong.

It's good to dare to be affectionate, I can't lose this face alone, since you also want to take the opportunity to show off and win the attention of those men, then I'll quietly watch you slap yourself in the face.

Qiao Lezi touched his double chin and fell into thought, although this idea was denied by everyone, he still felt that Lu Lotus's direction was correct, there must be something that was not thought of......

"My lord," Lu Rong interrupted his train of thought with some apologies, "Actually...... It is not necessarily that the name contains the words 'pear' and 'jujube', but it may also be ...... 'pear jujube'. ”

"Pear dates?" Qiao Lezi's eight-character eyebrows were raised again.

"Isn't that the same?!" Min Hongwei, who hadn't dared to squeak for a long time, couldn't help but brush her feelings.

"The poem "Gift to Mao Zhuoren to Learn Bo" has clouds: "Yushan Jigu Pavilion, pear jujube can be spring clouds. Lu Rong said softly.

"Folk engraving and printing books mostly use pear wood or jujube wood, so 'pear jujube' is the synonym of the book version, and also refers to 'book'," Qiao Lezi continued, Doudou's eyes swept sharply down to the crowd, "Which one's boudoir name has the word 'book'?"

Before the words fell, some people's eyes were already on a young lady standing in the most inconspicuous corner, who was already full of panic at the moment, and almost fell to the ground with weak legs-

Sure enough, it's her! Qiao Lezi quietly observed everyone for a long time and came to the conclusion based on experience, this one is the most suspicious!

"Ge Shuhua!" someone shouted in a low voice, and no matter how dull a person was, he could see that Ge Shuhua's heart was weak and flustered at the moment.

"I didn't mean to-" Ge Shuhua cried in a broken heart, "I didn't want to kill her-I-I just slipped my hand-I didn't expect it-......"

"Why are you so ruthless?" Qiao Lezi asked.

Ge Shuhua sobbed and said before and after, it turned out that Gao Qizhu was a little bit of a match with her on weekdays, although the two of them did not rise to the top of the mouth, but secretly they were more energetic with each other, from time to time you make a stumbling block for me, I will give you a set, but they are all small fights, harmless.

However, Ge Shuhua had just suffered a secret loss in the hands of Gao Qizhu before, and he was not very happy in his heart, and today he saw that Gao Qizhu's grandmother's relics were broken, and she couldn't help but be secretly happy.

As a result, Gao Qizhu's already sad and annoyed feelings were ignited all of a sudden, and she rushed up to push Ge Shuhua, Ge Shuhua dodged at first, but saw that Gao Qizhu was about to take the knife that was put on the table to cut fruit, and was panicked, for fear that she would be killed by her, out of self-preservation, she took the vase on the shelf next to her and smashed it towards Gao Qizhu's head......

Ge Shuhua's nerves, which had been tense, completely collapsed at the moment of being exposed, and he fainted on the ground before he could finish speaking, Qiao Lezi ordered several maids in the hall to step forward and lift her up and put her on the chair to settle down temporarily, so far the case was all clear, and everyone also breathed a long sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated, and they couldn't help but start to talk to each other.

The first few people were also talking, Xuandehou looked at Lu Rong with a smile and asked, "This case is thanks to this young lady's Bingxue cleverness, I don't know how I thought of the meaning of 'pear date'?"

Lu Rong lowered her eyes a little embarrassed, but still replied seriously: "It's just that we used to play the game of 'you learn and I guess' in the hall before, and at that time, everyone used all kinds of things in the hall to represent the meaning of the words in the poem...... I didn't think about it freely with the thought I had when I was playing the game......"

"Being flexible and drawing inferences from others is a smart table. Xuandehou smiled and took a few deep glances at Lu Rong's face.

"It's the same 'on paper', but the results are very different. General Liu Shen unceremoniously threw his eyes at Lu Lian, who was listening to this side with his ears open, as a soldier, the most intolerable thing is that the discipline is not strict, and there is no form up and down, Lu Lian has already made him feel disgusted by Qiao Lezi's words several times, and that person is still pretending to be smart, which is ridiculous!

When Lu Lian heard this, her face was red, blue, and white, how ugly it was.

The high-spirited and high-spirited appearance just now made her even more ridiculous and embarrassed at this moment, she endured the humiliation and flattered Min Hongwei and her gang in a low voice every day, and followed them everywhere, just to wait for an opportunity to get in touch with the upper, better, and more promising young talents, today she finally waited for this opportunity, and she also seized this opportunity as she wished to be in the limelight, and even did not hesitate to risk the consequences of offending these female dependents, stepping on their shoulders and desperately exposing her face......

Then she really showed her face completely in front of everyone, but she was torn off and thrown on the ground, so that everyone could clearly see the ignorance and arrogance all over her skin, she did endure the humiliation, and then she desperately climbed to a high place, climbed to a place where more people could see her clearly, and once again brought humiliation on herself......

Now it's okay, her face has not only been lost in the former small circle, but now even the larger circle has seen it, Lin Dacaizi, Xuandehou, Liu Shenjiang, not to mention others, only these three people have respectively represented the new generation of literati circle, elite circle and military general circle, her reputation can finally spread, but it is not the good reputation she dreamed of, maybe by tomorrow, everyone in the upper circle will know how ignorant and ridiculous she is......

She finally understood why Qiao Lezi was willing to agree to listen to her advice and try the method she proposed, and she also understood why he still had to put the words "thoughtful" in his words—all in order to make the results she got seem more ridiculous and make her ignorance seem inferior! Why did he do this? She already understood! She saw the sachet hanging from his waist! It was made by Lu Lotus, of course she recognized, she happened to go to her room to look for her when Lu Lotus made this sachet, and she saw it!

——These two people—— it turns out that this is the case—— it turns out that Lu Lotus actually has such a mind—— ho! Ho! Okay! It turns out that Lu Lian is not the only one who started planning for her marriage early, Lu Lotus, this cheap hoof, also has such a thought—— it's funny! It's so funny! Lu Lotus, this is your vision?! An old man! With such a ridiculous appearance, even the prefect of Kyoto is only a fourth-grade official, and your requirements are really low enough! Sure enough, sure enough, you and your cowardly mother are not on the table!
