Chapter 258: The Mandarin Duck in the Fire (7)
The victim was burned to death in a somewhat remote abandoned log cabin, where there should have been no one at the time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The scene was burned to ashes, and the only thing left was the jade bracelet under the window, which could prove the identity of the female deceased, and it was indeed the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, Qiu Chenghuan.
The man's identity is unknown, and no clues about the man have been found at this time.
Under the window, in addition to the jade bracelet, there was also a small pile of burned ashes, and the fabric was the clothes worn by Qiu Chenghuan.
In the open space not far from the cabin, there was a leaf vein mask, the kind sold at the stall.
It's all that can be called a clue in the field.
Suspiciously, there are two people, one is the husband of the female deceased, Lin Jiashu, and the other is the female deceased's dowry maid, Cai Wei, the two of them rushed to the scene at the same time, and directly determined that the female deceased was Qiu Chenghuan.
There doesn't seem to be any clear clues in the Lin Mansion, but there are suspicious things.
Uncle Liu's identity, as well as the hand-carved leaf vein mask in Uncle Liu's hand, and Lin Jiashu's attitude towards Uncle Liu.
There is also Yu Chusheng heard from the maid, and the relationship between Lin Jiashu and his father Lin seems to be a little tense.
Who is the man Qiu Chenghuan is carrying Lin Jiashu behind his back, the Lin Mansion seems to be secretive about this matter.
The man in people's mouths and the man who was burned to death with Qiu Chenghuan are not the same person.
Yu Chusheng thought about it for a long time, and felt that the key people who could get more clues now were Uncle Liu, Lin Jiashu, Cai Wei, and Master Lin, who had not yet met her.
Lin Jiashu and Cai Wei seem to be hiding something, and they must not be willing to really cooperate with the investigation.
Let's start with the rest. As for the clues, Yu Chusheng felt that the mask was very important, and it seemed to connect all these people.
The facts of the case are somewhat clearer. Yu Chusheng got up, and Tang Tian and Tang Feng had already brought breakfast. She simply ate some and handed over the things she had packed up last night to Tang Feng and Tang Tian.
Last night, Luo Yunqing said that if she didn't like the palace, she would live in the Anning Palace, which had been cleaned up, and it was still the same as before.
Yu Chusheng suddenly remembered that Feng Huatuo had handed over the handkerchief to Xiao Qi, so he asked Luo Yunqing to send someone to inquire, but after all, he couldn't get out of the big light, since it was recruited back by the eldest princess of Changle, he must be among the people of Chushanhe now.
Yu Chusheng set off to the government office first, and Tang Feng and Tang Tian were like farts and couldn't get rid of them.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Er's efficiency was quite high, and the things that Yu Chusheng explained to him yesterday were almost done.
But it doesn't seem to have much effect.
I have learned about the current situation of the Qiu family in Jiangnan, the Qiu family is now in decline, and its strength is far inferior to that of the Lin family, and the current situation can be said to be very bad.
It is said that Emperor Xuanwen suppressed the Qiu family during his reign, and now the Qiu family is no different from ordinary official eunuchs.
Zhang Er bought off a subordinate of the Lin Mansion, and inquired that Uncle Liu had indeed been the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion and was very much used by Master Lin.
But in addition to Lin Jiashu, Master Lin actually has an eldest son named Lin Liangmu, who was not born to the same mother as Lin Jiashu.
Lin Liangmu's mother is the original wife of Master Lin, the two love each other very much, and soon after they got married, the original Mrs. Lin became pregnant with a child, but her life was also very hard.
When Mrs. Lin gave birth to Lin Liangmu, she couldn't survive and died in childbirth.
And Lin Jiashu was born to Master Lin's maid, and Lin Jiashu's mother was pregnant with Lin Jiashu, also during Mrs. Lin's pregnancy.
It is said that the maid in the room used means to make herself pregnant with Master Lin's child.
After Mrs. Lin gave birth to Lin Liangmu and died, Lin Jiashu's mother was raised from a room to an aunt because she was pregnant with Lin Jiashu.
Lin Liangmu was only a few months older than Lin Jiashu.
After a few years, Mrs. Lin's position was vacant again, and Master Lin saw that Lin Jiashu's mother was very virtuous, so she was promoted from aunt to Mrs. Lin.
Master Lin has always felt guilty because of the death of Lin Liangmu's mother, and naturally he has always been very good to Lin Liangmu.
But I didn't expect that when Lin Liangmu was four years old, strange pus began to appear on his body, and he found many famous doctors and prescribed a lot of good medicines, but he still couldn't be treated.
What's even more terrifying is that as soon as he is exposed to the sun, the pustules will become redder and larger, and even the pus inside will flow to other parts of the skin, and new pustules will be born.
Lin Liangmu was disgusted, and everyone said that his disease was too strange, and that his disease would be contagious, and he would get such a strange disease if he touched him.
Although Master Lin has always preferred Lin Liangmu, there is no way.
He couldn't see the sun, and he had such a strange disease. The doctor said that it was recommended to let him live in a cool place, not to go out during the day, and even if he went out, he had to wrap up strictly.
Master Lin arranged Lin Liangmu into that mansion and asked his most trusted Uncle Liu to take care of Lin Liangmu.
That courtyard became a forbidden place for the Lin Mansion, and people outside couldn't go in, and Lin Liangmu was inside, and he wasn't allowed to come out.
When I saw Uncle Liu, he was so strict, he should have been infected with that disease.
When Yu Chusheng heard Zhang Er say this, she thought about it carefully, she seemed to understand something, but it was not clear enough.
She asked Zhang Er how the Li family was doing, and she remembered hearing from the maid of the Lin Mansion that Lin Jiashu wanted to marry the girl of the Li family.
The facts surprised Yu Chusheng. I heard that the girl of the Li family has a bad temperament, is arrogant and unreasonable, and is already eighteen years old, and no one has proposed marriage so far.
But her family background is very hard, her mother is from a family of eunuchs, her uncle is an official in the court, and her father is a businessman, and he is one of the richest people in Kyoto.
Lin Jiashu had to marry her, definitely not because of love.
Yu Chusheng also heard that Qiu Chenghuan has a good temperament, is gentle and virtuous, and is knowledgeable.
Lin Jiashu wanted to divorce her and marry the girl of the Li family, it must be because Qiu Chenghuan had no use value for him.
Lin Jiashu is ambitious. It's just that he used the wrong method to achieve his ambitions.
Yu Chusheng probably understood this, and said to Zhang Er: "We have to go to the Lin Mansion again now, first, to visit Master Lin, and second, to ask Uncle Liu about some things." ”
Yu Chusheng suddenly understood the meaning that the young master who had been talking about in Uncle Liu's mouth yesterday was gone.
Uncle Liu said that it was not that Lin Jiashu was gone, but that Lin Liangmu was gone.
The man who was burned to death with Qiu Chenghuan happened to be unknown to him.
Lin Liangmu's attitude in the face of Uncle Liu was also very abnormal.
If the man who was burned to death was Lin Liangmu, what was his relationship with Qiu Chenghuan?
It was Lin Jiashu who deliberately used it to hide people's eyes and ears, but there was a conspiracy behind it.
