252 Praying mantis catches cicadas
In the morning, when it was dawning, I heard someone say that a body had been found in the woods, and several people went there to find that it was the master, and they were frightened, and hurried back to report it, and the lady fainted when she heard it.
"What about the little minions who followed at the time?"
The housekeeper pointed, and the two servants on the side were glazed, one of them was in a better mood, looking at the person in front of him, Xiao Mu said lightly, Yesterday, the master suddenly said that he had an appointment with someone to go out.
After going out, the coachman drove to the place that the old man said, which was a temple.
Two minions followed in, did not come out for a long time, the coachman was alone at the door, there was no sound inside, and after a while, two people ran out and said that the master was gone, which made the coachman anxious, and the three people went in at night, why was the master gone, he had been guarding the door, and did not see anyone come out.
A few people were scared, could there be something unclean inside.
Although they were afraid, the three of them entered the temple again, and the lord couldn't find them and didn't dare to leave without permission.
After looking for it, they made sure that the old man was not in the temple, so they went back to find the lady.
When Mrs. learned that the old man was missing, she hurriedly asked someone to go out to look for him, and searched for it overnight, and finally found that the old man was hanged.
The lady fainted because of the anger, she didn't believe it, why the old man committed suicide, it was impossible.
Fu Bo carefully examined the corpse, and there was only one wound on the neck, indicating that Liu Wenyou was not strangled to death by a rope, and then hung on a tree.
Xiao Mu asked Bai Yu to go to the temple first and stay here by himself.
The deceased's fingernails were clean and free of dirt. There is no dirt in it.
It seems that he did not fall to the ground, without any struggle or resistance.
The soles of his shoes are not worn, proving that they were resisted here. It's not dragging.
Xiao Mu looked at the deceased's face and hair, neat and clean, without any traces, it seemed that he had lost the consciousness of resistance after being knocked out.
Fauber examined the back of his neck and found no signs of being hit, Fauber subconsciously looked at his nose, and there was a line around the edge of his nostrils. This was an important clue, and Fauber hurriedly took out the thread, which was probably left on the veil. But where can I find the white veil?
Nothing else was found, and several officials from the yamen took the initiative to step forward, "This corpse ......"
Xiao Mu spoke. Carry it to the yamen first. A few people to get started.
As soon as Xiao Mu turned around, he collided with one of the officials.
He was stunned, and the official was also stunned, "Xiao Zhutou, are you okay, the little one is not a heart." ”
The little servant's face was flushed, and he hurriedly went to help Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu was stunned for a while after falling, got up and didn't say anything, and took a slave to Liu's house.
"Official. You're here, and the aftermath of the lord is being arranged. The lady fell ill and rested in her bedroom, and it was not fit to see guests. ”
The slave guarding the door made it clear that Xiao Mu did meet his wife to talk to him.
"I want you to spread the word, I must ask Madame personally about some things, after all, it involves the life of your master."
The minion bowed his head, and these words seemed to be of little use.
He didn't move, he just stood there and watched.
Obviously, Madame didn't want to see her.
Xiao Mu must see this lady, so he threatens the little minion that if he doesn't report it, he will deal with the lady like a murderer. As soon as he said this, the servant entered the house tremblingly, and came out later, "Madame said that she was really uncomfortable, but she wanted to know how the master was killed, and she would see her in the main hall in a moment."
In a quarter of an hour, several maids came out with a woman in their arms.
She is Liu Wenyou's wife, she is sick, she walks with a leaning body, and several maids are tightly supported, which is more stable.
She walked to the main hall, sat down slowly, and looked around sadly, which was where the old man had once walked.
"I'm sorry for neglecting you, I have a good relationship with Xianggong, and I lost him all of a sudden, I ......"
She swallowed the words in her throat alive.
Xiao Mu asked, what kind of person Liu Wenyou is on weekdays.
She pursed her lips, Xianggong was very good to herself, he hurt himself very much, and cried again as he spoke.
Xiao Mu walked up to his wife, looked at her face carefully, and the lady hurriedly covered her face with a handkerchief, and asked what this was for, the official master can't be so rude, men and women have been intimate, and now that their husband is dead, they are even more inviolable.
The moment she covered her face with a handkerchief, Xiao Mu showed a frightening smile, "You are the murderer!" ”
Mrs. Liu paused, this thing can be eaten indiscriminately, and words cannot be talked nonsense, if the murderer cannot be caught, the goose cannot rely on herself.
"The crime of killing a husband is to kill the head."
"If you know, it's good." Xiao Mu picked up her handkerchief and was confident, "The fragrance on your handkerchief is strong, and I fell today, and I happened to find that Liu Wenyou's shoes also have the same fragrance." Xiao Mu sighed, or said that people will always have loopholes.
Seeing this situation, Mrs. Liu had to say that it was normal for the two to be married and have a fragrance on his body.
Xiao Mu saw that this woman was still sad just now, but at this time, he said that it was normal to say this lightly.
"It's true that it's normal to have a fragrance on her body, but Liu Wenyou doesn't have a fragrance on her body, and her shoes have a fragrance, why is that?"
Madame covered her head, saying that she was not feeling well, she lowered her head and was about to leave, but Xiao Mu stopped her, "You go to the yamen with me, the adults have something to ask you." ”
Mrs. Liu was startled, turned her head and said, "It's not me, it's really not me, it's a man." ”
"What did you say?" Xiao Mu looked at her, she was forced to be helpless, she had to admit that she saw the old man go out that night, so she took the maid to follow secretly, and saw the old man enter a temple, she looked at it from a distance, but heard that the old man was gone, she was curious and went around with the maid, and found that there was a hole in the wall of the temple, at this moment, she saw a person, carrying another person to the woods in front.
Xiao Mu wondered why he didn't call someone to stop that person since he saw it.
She whispered, she wasn't sure, she wasn't sure if it was Liu Wenyou.
"In that case, why did you follow him into the woods, and how did you get the incense powder on his shoes?"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yu came back, there was indeed a hole outside the temple, and an object was found in the temple.
He didn't take it out, saying that he had sent it to the yamen and gave it to Master Li.
Xiao Mu looked at Mrs. Liu in front of him and asked her to follow.
"I ...... I'm not feeling well" Mrs. Liu coughed dryly a few times, Xiao Mu didn't care, he must go today.
Mrs. Liu reluctantly followed and left.
Along the way, Xiao Mu was thinking, if it was really not her who did it, then it was the son of the deceased who was killed.
When Master Li saw a few people, he asked, "People in the hall, you will truthfully explain everything you know about this case." ”
