The servant gasped and sat on the ground in fright, on the other hand, Huiqi, although he was frightened at first, but now he eased up, and his face also returned to his previous flush, but with a wave of anger he glared at Liansheng who was hanging on the beam.

Xu Yihua's eyes flashed, the long sword was in his hand, and with a slash in the air, there was a "stab", the white silk was broken, and Liansheng fell to the ground.

Stretched out two fingers to test the other party's pulse and snort, and after a while, Xu Yihua shook his head: "It's been more than a moment since I lost my breath." ”

Gu Qi frowned slightly: "Is it suicide or homicide?" ”

The sky was too dark, Xu Yihua couldn't see clearly, so he could only use the fire fold on the table to light a candle and get closer to check, carefully looked at the strangulation marks on his neck, Xu Yihua said: "Suicide." ”

Xu Yihua's words did not make Gu Qi's face show a look of surprise, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be through the window, and he went directly to Mrs. Yue in the east chamber.

"Report to the officer!" Gu Qi coldly spit out two words.

Gu Qi had no intention of reporting to the official before, and when they left from Chunyi Garden, they had already guessed who the murderer was, and they were going to arrest him directly and hand it over to Mrs. Yue, so that they could deal less with Zhong Weiyuan. For Zhong Weiyuan, Gu Qi always had a faint disgust in his heart, this person was scheming, presumably they couldn't hide their affairs here for long.

But now that Lian was alive and dead, and he died again, Gu Qi couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only let the servants of the Yue family go to report to the official, and let Zhong Weiyuan deal with this matter.

Moreover, he is almost clear about the cause and effect of this matter, and now he can connect all the details with only a few details, and now there is still a period of time before Zhong Weiyuan arrives, so it is better to take advantage of this time to solve the case.

The three of them went out of the west chamber, and across the courtyard and the rockery, they saw that the movement on the east side of the chamber gradually decreased.

"Mrs. Yue."

As soon as she stepped into the corridor of the East Wing, Mrs. Yue stood in the courtyard in plain clothes, supported by the old woman who opened the door for them before, her face was still blindfolded with the white silk cloth, but she couldn't hide a smile at the corner of her mouth.

This smile is a little unusual in Xu Yihua's opinion, not as gentle as the morning, not as miserable as last night, as if he had expected them to come, with a smile that was inevitable.

It's a strange thing.

"Gu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi, little master." Mrs. Yue said with a smile, "I was resting just now, and I couldn't greet the three of them in time, which is really neglectful." ”

Gu Qi smiled strangely: "It's a pity that Mrs. Yue was not there at the time and missed the show." ”

"Fun?" Mrs. Yue's smile remained unchanged, "I don't know what Gu Gongzi means by good play?" ”

"Naturally, it's a good show of pretending to be a ghost."

Mrs. Yue's face changed slightly, and she smiled again: "Pretending to be a ghost? Why don't you tell me about it? ”

"I can't ask for it." There was a strange smile on the corner of Gu Qi's mouth, "Just inside the inner hall, suddenly a strong wind rose, and it was dark in the inner hall, and suddenly there was a voice outside, don't look for anything else, just look for that Liansheng, only let him return his life." Mrs. Yue, guess who the owner of this voice is? ”

"Please also let Gu Gongzi know."

"The owner of this voice is Mrs. Yue's second son, Yue Ziran." Gu Qi asked, "I didn't expect that the ghost of the second prince was unwilling to be killed like this, and before he was reincarnated, he had to personally identify who the murderer was, and find out the murderer who really killed him for us, so as to return the innocence of the eldest son." ”

"I see!" Mrs. Yue feigned anger, her face burned with anger, and her face suddenly changed, and she lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Poor my Yun'er, she has suffered such an injustice, I will definitely not let go of Liansheng, the murderer!" ”

Gu Qi seemed to smile: "Mrs. Yue doesn't have to worry, that Liansheng has already committed suicide and hanged himself in his room." ”

"Dead?" Mrs. Yue seemed stunned.

"Exactly."

Mrs. Yue said sadly: "Because my mother is incompetent, I can't avenge Ran'er with my own hands, and I have to find the murderer by myself who died." ”

Gu Qi's eyes showed a look of concern, and he swept over Mrs. Yue's body, and then said slowly: "Strange to say, after that voice appeared, we immediately went out to investigate, and sure enough, we found something. ”

Mrs. Yue's face tightened, and she forcibly raised the corners of her mouth to maintain a smile: "Could it be that the two of you still caught this ghost?" ”

Gu Qi smiled slightly, with a determined smile on his face: "Mrs. Yue is really ice and snow smart, we just caught this ghost who pretended to be a ghost!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the other three couldn't help but be shocked, especially Hui Qi, who was surprised in their hearts.

What does it mean to catch a ghost!

The three of them are together all the time, and they didn't see any ghosts and ghosts after rushing out of the door, so how could they catch ghosts at this moment! Besides, Gu Qi swore in his mouth that there were no ghosts and gods in this world, why did he still speak like this at this moment!

Hui Qi looked at the confident expression on Gu Qi's face, his thinking was a little confused, could it be that he really caught it, did he not see it? But the three of them have been together, why haven't they seen it? Or is it ...... Gu Qi, the old fox, is playing tricks again?

It must be a trick! Hui Qi was sure in her heart that if she hadn't been by Gu Qi's side, she would have almost believed it!

It's just that she has been crawling around in the world since she was a child, and she is like that old fritter, plus she has been following Gu Xu and the others during this time, and she has seen a lot, although her thoughts are chaotic, but she can barely maintain a paralyzed look on her face.

Besides, Mrs. Yue, when she heard Gu Qi's words, she was also in turmoil when she was shocked, and her eyes began to be suspicious when she looked at the other party, and she still didn't know what the other party wanted to express, so she could only ask tentatively: "Then this ghost is ...... Where? ”

The corner of Gu Qi's mouth hooked up a smile: "This ghost is not an ordinary thing, unlike human beings who only need to be bound, I used some special means to catch it." So I'm afraid that when the time comes, I'll accidentally release him. ”

Hearing Gu Qi's words, Mrs. Yue was slightly relieved in her heart, the other party prevaricated like this, presumably the previous words were used to bluff people, and it was ridiculous to say that catching ghosts. Thinking like this in her heart, Mrs. Yue had to test her mouth: "That ghost is my son Ran'er, if Gu Gongzi really catches him, let me have a look, so that I can meet the last side of my son." ”

"This ......" Gu Qi had a look of embarrassment on his face, "It's not that I don't want to show it to Mrs. Yue, it's really inconvenient, why don't we wait for Lord Zhong to come and everyone watch it together?" ”

Now Mrs. Yue is completely sure, what the other party said before is probably just nonsense, it can't be true, she stretched out her hand and pulled the hair around her ear, and sighed: "In this case, I can't force it, just wait until Lord Zhong comes to watch together." ”

Xu Yihua's eyes also flashed with contemplation, he was thinking about the meaning of Gu Qi's words.

Unlike Hui Qi, Xu Yihua could understand what the other party meant from the moment Gu Qi started talking, Gu Qi lied that he caught the ghost and definitely wanted to test Mrs. Yue, but with Gu Qi's ingenuity, he must have guessed that the other party wanted to propose to check, and the countermeasures in the future would also be thought of. But his current actions are not as he guessed, what Gu Qi meant, Xu Yihua couldn't understand for a while.

Zhong Weiyuan naturally wouldn't come here so soon, the county government was still half an hour away from Yue's house, and it was night at this time, and the time had passed, and if the other party wanted to gather people over, it would take nearly an hour.

"Mrs. Yue cares about the second son, and the murderer Liansheng, why doesn't she care about the eldest son who is still in prison?" Gu Qi's eyes flashed.

Mrs. Yue said gloomily: "How can you not care, it's just that now the truth is revealed, the murderer is Liansheng, Yun'er was only innocently implicated, Lord Zhong distinguishes right from wrong, and will naturally release Yun'er, what do I have to worry about." ”

"If Mrs. Yue is not worried, how can she go to visit the eldest prince in prison." The smile on Gu Qi's face seemed to be a smile rather than a smile.

"When have I been?" Mrs. Yue's body shook slightly.

"There is an ancient tree in front of the cell in Zhaoyuan County, the soil under the tree is red, the whole county is the only one, if the lady doesn't go, where does the red mud on the soles of the shoes come from?"

Hui Qi's eyes involuntarily looked at Mrs. Yue's feet, and the other party also had a pair of plain shoes on her feet, and she hid under her skirt in a panic under everyone's gaze. But it was too late, and Hui Qi had already seen that not only the soles of the shoes, but even the upper of the shoes were stained with a little red soil, most of which were stained without paying attention in a panic.

"This must have been left over from when I went to see Yun Er last night." Mrs. Yue said in a panic.

"And where is Madame tonight?" Gu Qi's eyes flashed and he continued to ask.

"Tonight, of course, is resting in the room." Madame Yue tried to calm down, "Until you come and I am awakened." ”

"Then when Liansheng committed suicide, where was Madame, and why didn't she come to see us?"

"When I got up to freshen up, I found that one of my hairpins was missing." Mrs. Yue said calmly, "So I called all the people in the house to help me find things." ”

"What a coincidence, madame, I lost my things." Gu Qi sarcastically hooked the corners of his mouth.

Mrs. Yue seemed to have regained her emotions at this time, and the smile they had seen when they had just entered the East Chamber was on her face, and she said slowly: "Why, didn't Liansheng commit suicide?" Could it be that the three suspects that I am a murderer? ”

"No matter how suspicious you may be, I can't be the murderer of Liansheng, because I have an absolute alibi." Mrs. Yue said confidently, "Besides, you also said just now that that incident was done by Ran'er's ghost. ”

"Oh?" A question suddenly came from behind him, Zhong Weiyuan stepped over, with a smile on his face, and looked at Gu Qidao, "Gu Gongzi, can you let this official also take a look?" ”

Zhong Weiyuan!

He came so fast!

Gu Qi's gaze instantly sharpened, but in the blink of an eye, he became lazy again, looking very harmless, he smiled, and turned his head to look at Mrs. Yue: "Mrs. Yue, the ghost of the second son happened to be imprisoned in the coffin in that hall, now, let's go and see it together." ”

Mrs. Yue's face suddenly turned pale. 166 Reading Network
