Chapter 103: A Burning Dream (2)
Liu Xi added: "I didn't go back to sleep in the room last night, but in the study, so I can't prove whether she went out or not." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
So Li Yuan may have really gone out, and he is indeed very suspicious.
Yu Chusheng looked at Liu Xi, thought for a while, and asked a question she was still curious about: "Why do you and your wife sleep in separate rooms?" Quarreled? ”
Liu Xi hesitated for a while, but still said: "I was too late in the study last night, so I slept in the study." ”
But Yu Chusheng could see that Liu Xi lied.
Why lie?
Yu Chusheng pretended not to know, and replied lightly: "Oh, that's right. By the way, the Li Mansion is next door to the Liu Mansion, and you and your wife are childhood sweethearts? Yu Chusheng asked casually.
This time, Liu Xi didn't lie, but said naturally: "Sort of, our two families are world friends." As he said this, his eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of the Li Mansion.
Looks like there's a story in it.
Maybe it's because the people who died in Liu Mansion were all aunts and had nothing to do with Liu Xin, Yu Chusheng felt that he was not so sad.
Liu Xi looked very tired, his eyes were very dim, and there was even a trace of sadness in it, but it was not sadness.
Sadness is not the same as sadness.
made Yu Chusheng feel that Liu Xi was sad because of someone.
Behind the ruined house, I vaguely saw a backyard with a broken door, and the roof of the house inside could still be seen, which should not have been burned down.
I just couldn't see what was inside, it just looked desolate.
Yu Chusheng pointed in that direction and said, "Have you seen it there?" It doesn't seem to be burned? ”
Zhang Er replied: "I didn't see it, it seems to be a ruined courtyard and it hasn't been burned." ”
Liu Xi also explained: "It is indeed an abandoned yard, no one has lived in it for a long time, and the fire did not spread last night."
The yard where no one lived was not burned, so the arsonist was there to burn the people of the Liu family?
Yu Chusheng suddenly thought of something, and continued to ask Liu Xi: "You said that your wife is the murderer, apart from the evidence you said, what is her motive?" Why did she burn Liu's mansion for? ”
Liu Xi was silent.
That is, Li Yuan did not have a motive to kill.
Yu Chusheng didn't ask anymore, and followed Zhang Er to look at the ruins again.
But a lot of things were almost burned, and there were no clues in sight, let alone those left by the murderer.
The murderer should have thrown the torch and left.
Yu Chusheng followed Zhang Er and looked at the original room of Li Yuan and Liu Xin, indeed, the degree of burning in this room was not terrible, and the bed and wardrobe inside were even intact, but the screens in the inner and outer rooms were burned and broken.
Li Yuan shouldn't be lying, she did wake up when she was asleep when she noticed a fire, and then went out.
Placed next to the screen, there seems to be something similar to a beauty couch, and there is also a pile of ashes left, and there are four wooden legs that have not been burned to the ground, which also looks black and swarthy.
Among the ashes was a pile of ashes that resembled the burning of a futon, tangled around the ground.
Yu Chusheng walked inside, and there was a smell of burnt wood everywhere, and a layer of ash was rubbed on his body and hands.
The brocade quilt on the intact bed also looked very messy, and it really looked like Li Yuan found out that it was on fire, and then he didn't have time to tidy it up, so he got up and rushed out.
According to the scene, Yu Chusheng felt that Li Yuan was indeed not lying.
However, about the scene when the next person saw Li Yuan at night, she still needs to understand Li Yuan.
Just as Yu Chusheng was about to take a brief look at the dresser, a servant outside shouted: "Zhang Zhutou, we found this!" Come out and take a look! ”
Zhang Er and Yu Chusheng glanced at each other, do you have a clue?
Walking out quickly, I found the official standing in front of the ruins next door.
The next room seemed to be unoccupied, but it was also affected by the fire in Liu Xi and Li Yuan's room, and it burned about the same.
Zhang Er asked, "What did you find?" ”
A servant replied: "A piece of Kodama pendant seems to have been left by the murderer." ”
Yu Chusheng also walked over and found a piece of Kodama lying next to a broken door.
The red rope on it has been burned, and half of it is tightly stuck to the jade pendant, although it looks a little dark burned, but it can be seen that it is a good jade.
The luster on the jade body exudes through the floating ash on it, which is warm and bright, light cyan, and looks unique.
Yu Chusheng carefully removed the red rope on it, and saw that there were still fine patterns on it, and outlined a circle, with a faint word in the middle.
Because it was an old handwriting, Yu Chusheng didn't recognize it, so he asked Zhang Er: "What kind of character is this?" ”
Zhang Er took it and carefully identified it a few times, and finally said: "This is actually not a word, it is just to decorate the jade pendant and make it look more beautiful." ”
Yu Chusheng took a closer look at it again and found that although it looked like a word, it was indeed not a word.
At this time, another voice sounded behind him: "This is the jade pendant of my young lady, I have seen it." "The one who spoke was the one who said he had seen Li Yuan last night.
Li Yuan's jade pendant? Yu Chusheng frowned and asked, "You mean this is Li Yuan's jade pendant?" Are you sure? ”
The man looked at it carefully, nodded, and said with certainty: "I have seen the young lady's jade pendant, she seems to be wearing it on her body, it is this shape, and there is a red rope on it, hey, what about the red rope?" ”
Yu Chusheng and Zhang Er both glanced at the burned red rope on the ground.
Could it be that Li Yuan accidentally fell out when he ran out of the room?
But this jade pendant was not in front of her room.
Yu Chusheng carefully looked at the location where the jade pendant fell, it was in front of the door of the next room, and the door was burned.
The study is in the opposite direction, according to what Li Yuan said, she found out that it was on fire and hurried to save Liu Xi, so she would not pass by here.
So what's going on with this jade pendant? But the extent to which Li Yuan's room was burned is not like a disguise.
Zhang Er scratched his head and said, "Then is Li Yuan an arsonist?" ”
Yu Chusheng glanced at Yu Pei again, looked at Liu Xin and Li Yuan's room, and said, "I haven't seen Li Yuan yet, I think I have to talk to Li Yuan." ”
All the clues that Yu Chusheng knew about Li Yuan were heard from others, and she did not personally understand the actual situation.
The Li Mansion was next door to the Liu Mansion, so Yu Chusheng didn't care about the staining of his clothes, and he forgot that he had a hand of dust on his hands, so he followed Zhang Er directly to the Li Mansion.
It's desolate indeed.
Although it was winter, as soon as I entered the door, there were large patches of dead grass, some of which fell to the ground. Some are still straight.
A path was cleared in the middle, and Yu Chusheng walked from that road.
