On this day, in addition to Shen Wansha, there was also Zhao Zhu. Romance debuts
The three of them were very surprised by Yan An's capital, Shen Wansha's eyes were round, and the shock was all written on his face; Lu Li and Zhao Zhu glanced at each other, in addition to being surprised, what they saw more was the thinking in each other's eyes.
Lu Li raised his eyebrows slightly: What do you think...... Questions?
Zhao Zhu's slender eyes narrowed slightly: Aren't you too?
After a quick exchange of glances, the two of them quieted down and listened carefully to Yan An's account of the crime.
Yan An said that Gao Cheng was killed by him. The reason is that Gao Cheng is not right-minded and obscenities in the backyard. If Gao Cheng just committed adultery with Pang Zi, did not do anything other harmful, and did not break the rules of the inner court, he would only look unpleasant and would not intend to kill, but Gao Cheng should not plot the position of the prince.
Shen Wansha asked: "Is it because of your master-apprentice relationship with the prince?" β
Yan An shook his head, "In addition, Wu'an Hou Cuiluo is kind to me. β
Wu'an Hou Cuiluo was kind to him, not only for saving his life, but also for knowing him. Cui Luo died too early, and it seemed a little unspeakable, but he promised Cui Luo to help him watch the Hou Mansion. A man's oath, in a word, for a lifetime, he will definitely do his best to do what he promised at Yan'an.
Lu Li's fingertips tapped the desktop, "How do you know that Gao Cheng is having an affair with Pang Zi?" And how do they know that they intend to plot for the position of the son? β
"I was there when the Marquis of Wu'an first opened the mansion, and then I went to the Cui family in Beijing to send servants, and the Marquis of Wu'an took his wife, and I helped with my hands. The rules in the house are strict, but it is more convenient for an 'old man' like me to want to know something. β
Yan An hung his head slightly, looking at his fingers, the blazing summer light shining through his eyelashes, leaving a faint shadow under his eyes, "As for their plan...... I guessed it when Gao Cheng found me. Gao Cheng promised heavy profits and wanted me to enlighten Cui Fen, the son of Pang Zi, and said that as long as I agreed, I would get unimaginable benefits in the future. When he said this, his words were vague, his eyes flashed, and the focus was not on how many heavy profits I promised, but on the 'unimaginable benefits in the future'......"
This move was a bit unusual, and Yan An felt that Gao Cheng might be testing him. Maybe Gao Cheng really wanted him to teach Cui Fen, but more than that, he tested his attitude. He has any attachment to the Hou Mansion, his sister-in-law Cui Zhi, his concubine Cui Fen, and Cui Jie.
Yan An began to hold the conversation, trying to get more information, but Gao Cheng was not a fool, and he refused to say another word after noticing it, but Yan An was already sure that Gao Cheng had a bad heart.
He hung Gao Cheng for a few days, and Gao Cheng invited him to drink, but he also refused. Later, Gao Cheng went to him with a wine jar, he asked directly, Gao Cheng's smile was cunning and had a deep meaning, but he still didn't have a precise word, he was angry, he threw the wine jar, and drove people out.
After that, Gao Cheng didn't come to him again, but he was more worried, I don't know if Gao Cheng found someone else again, and if he was going to do something to his husband and his son...... There are thieves for a thousand days, and there are no thieves for a thousand days, if you don't do it, Yan An will kill Gao Cheng.
"That makes sense...... Shen Wansha blinked and looked at Lu Li, "Little Lizi, what do you say?" β
Lu Li crossed his hands into a tower, pressed against his chin, and his eyebrows were slightly condensed, "Where are you, what did you use to kill Gao Cheng?" β
"Chaoyang Street and Alley." Yan An raised his head slightly, the sun shone on his face, from his forehead to the tip of his nose to his chin to his neck, the whole line was delicate and elegant, heroic and compelling, "Use ice blades." β
"Ice, skates?" Shen Wansha's eyes glared at the boss, "Can ice kill?" β
Lu Li nodded, "The frozen sturdy ice blades, with good hardness and sharpness, can indeed kill." β
As he spoke, he recalled the wounds of the deceased and the shape of the murder weapon that he had drawn according to the cut-out table of the wounds...... The tip is sharp and slightly narrow, the rear part is sharply widened, with unevenness in between, and the thickness is slightly larger than that of the sword, which is very sharp......
The shape of the murder weapon is too deformed, Lu Li thought that this was a disadvantage, but also a favor, the disadvantage was because it was difficult to find, and the advantage was because it was too special, as long as someone saw it, they could touch the melon along the vine...... I didn't expect it to be an ice blade.
Now Yan An said, his mind quickly went through the scene, corpses and other expressions, the murder weapon is a skate knife is very reasonable!
If it's an ice blade, you don't need to take it back at all, it will quickly turn into water under the scorching sun......
"No wonder we couldn't find the murder weapon after searching for so long!" Shen Wansha punched his palms, his eyes were round, and he was very excited.
Zhao Zhu's fingertips tapped the desktop, and his eyes were slightly cold: "Gao Cheng was killed by you, why didn't you call it?" β
Lu Li also remembered his previous analysis with Zhao Zhu: Gao Cheng was threatened.
Yan An hung his head and smiled slightly, "He doesn't dare, I told him, if he dares to scream, I will kill Pang Zi." β
Shen Wansha sighed: "This Gao Cheng is also sincere to Pang Zi......
Lu Li and Zhao Shu glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and asked, "When you killed Gao Cheng with an ice blade, was he shocked too much for a while and leaned on you?" β
Yan An raised his head slightly, and a 'how do you know' surprise seemed to flash in his eyes: "Yes." β
"Then your clothes ......"
"Naturally, it's dirty." Yan An's eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm about to kill someone, and I must have made preparations." I knew that Gao Cheng was going out that day, so I asked him to meet him at the mouth of the alley, and brought with him a small bag, an ice blade wrapped in cotton, and a dress that was exactly the same as that he was wearing at that time. I killed Gao Cheng with an ice blade, immediately changed my clothes, put it back in my small baggage, and burned it as soon as I returned home. β
Therefore, I can't find bloody clothes or anything.
Yan An said that he was the master of the Hou Mansion, and he couldn't do without pen, ink, paper and inkstone around him at all times, and he didn't like to take people with him, so he took everything by himself, and everyone was used to it, and no one doubted it. He takes a carriage in and out of the Hou Mansion, and there will be an ice basin on the carriage, his identity is not ordinary, how much ice is needed, it is easy to split out ice blades, and it is not difficult to keep ice blades.
Reasonable, reasonable.
"But why...... Want to kill Gao Cheng outside the house? As you said, it's not that you don't know about the Hou Mansion, and it's not that you can't help it. Lu Li groaned.
Yan'an's explanation is: Mrs. has strict rules, and it is inconvenient in the house.
There are people everywhere in the Hou Mansion during the day, and as soon as it gets night, the door key is all down, and he can kill people in the Hou Mansion, but it is very troublesome to solve it in the future, and it is even worse if it is known by the lady and the prince.
"But there's an official mansion outside!" Shen Wansha reminded Yan'an.
"I know." Yan An sighed lightly, "But Gao Cheng is just a subordinate. β
The main family is not guilty of killing the next person, although Yan'an is not the Cui family, but the physical status is different. Even if an ordinary good citizen kills a slave who sells his deed, the legal responsibility is one step lighter.
The law is harsh on slaves, for example, if a good citizen kills a good citizen, he will have to pay for his life, but if he kills a slave, he does not need to pay for his life, and the strictest and strictest sentence will be exile, and the punishment for the crime will be reduced by one degree. On the other hand, if a slave commits a crime, the punishment is increased by one degree.
Therefore, generally those who are subordinates will be subconsciously loyal, this society can protect them too little, and their lifelong honor and disgrace are all tied to the master. What can motivate him to turn his back on the Lord must be a great temptation.
So Yan An was very angry about this, Gao Cheng dared to betray the Lord, and he deserved this fate.
Lu Li and Zhao Shu didn't ask more about this, and asked about how messy Gao Cheng's room was, but what did he do?
Yan An shook his head in denial.
He didn't know why Gao Cheng's room was robbed and what he lost. The first time he saw the room key was in Mei Xiang's hand, "Maybe before Gao Cheng left, he gave her the key and entrusted her to help take care of the room." β
"You said, Mei Xiang was also killed by you."
"Yes." Yan An lowered his eyes slightly, "Mei Xiang found me and said that she knew a secret, which was related to the survival of the Hou Mansion. In order to gain my trust, she told me that he and Gao Cheng were in a group, and the key to Gao Cheng's room in her hand was evidence of their unusual relationship. β
The two of them met outside the ice cellar, because it was the most remote place, there were not many important things, and there were few guards to patrol at night. There are two of them, one is the 'old man' of the Hou Mansion, and the other is smart and introverted, scheming, and very smooth at night.
"But Mei Xiang has been around for a long time, and she still hasn't gotten to the point."
Yan An said that Mei Xiang brought β‘β‘ with her to prove that she had a will to die. She was very excited, and after talking for a long time, she asked Yan An to promise to be good with her, and as long as Yan An was with her, she would tell him all the secrets.
She was persuading, frightened and seducing, Yan An gradually lost patience, and he could see that Mei Xiang did know something, but she didn't plan to sue him. He thought that since she was in the same group as Gao Cheng, she must not be a good person, although he didn't know the secret, but keeping Mei Xiang was a scourge, so he killed Mei Xiang.
He has been in the Hou Mansion for many years, and a few years ago he accidentally got the key to the ice cellar, and the ice cellar lock has not been changed for many years, and he is very lucky that he opened it all at once. He said that when he heard movement outside, he hid in the ice cellar, and then took advantage of Mei Xiang's unpreparedness to leave abruptly, and quickly locked the ice cellar door again......
Yan An said that the process of his crime was like this.
As for Lu Li's question about the poisoning of Pang Cuijie, he said that he did not know, "The two people are constantly rubbing and poisoning each other, and it is not known that this matter is indeed a coincidence." β
β¦β¦
Shen Wansha suddenly realized, everything made sense, it was really Yan'an!
"It's time to close the case!" The young master announced loudly.
Zhao Shu knocked on the table and looked at the indifferent banquet, "What you say is the truth?" β
Yan An lowered his head: "Don't dare not hide it." β
Zhao Shu and Lu Li looked at each other for a moment, and Lu Li bowed slightly, "In this case, there is only-"
"You're lying!" A voice came from outside the door.
This voice is clear and tactful, with perseverance, strength, and gentleness, Lu Li is very familiar, "Aunt Zhang-"
The door was pushed open with a 'squeak', and the sound of shallow footsteps came from far and near, and Lu Li noticed that Yan An's body froze. He lowered his gaze to look at his hand, his eyes seemed to flicker, but he did not dare to look up at the person.
Sure enough, it was Zhang's who came.
As soon as Zhang came in, he gave Zhao Shu a salute, didn't say anything, and looked directly at Yan'an: "Did you see it?" β
Yan An still didn't look at her, just nodded his head slightly, "See." His voice was slightly deep, full of bitterness.
This question and answer were full of hidden meaning, and Shen Wansha's ears immediately stood up. Not only him, but Lu Li and Zhao Zhu's eyes also began to have light jumping.
"And you still plead guilty?" Zhang exhaled softly, turned to Lu Li and the three of them, and smiled on his face, "Don't listen to this idiot's nonsense, I killed the person." β
She sat down on the table, without explaining the scary words just now, and continued to look at Yan An, "How do you know that I killed Gao Cheng with an ice blade?" β
Yan An still hung his head, staring at his hands, his body was tense, and his voice was a little urned, "Gao Cheng was killed by me, of course I know." β
The corners of Zhang's lips twitched.
"Mei Xiang was also killed by me."
Zhang's forehead jumped.
Shen Wansha was a little confused, why did he argue that he had killed someone? He reminded Zhang: "Master Yan has just explained the process of the crime, and it is reasonable, reasonable, reasonable, and seamless......"
"I just heard his words outside. is worthy of being a great talent, the banquet master is quite anxious, and what he has never seen can be done well. β
This was said with anger, which seemed to be a compliment, but in fact it seemed to be disdainful, but Yan An was not angry, "I did it myself-"
"Little Lizi," Zhang ignored Yan An, directly blocked his words, and looked at Lu Li, "You already doubted me, didn't you?" β
Lu Li frowned and simply admitted, "Yes." But the evidence is insufficient, especially the murder weapon, the bloody clothes, and we have not been able to find it...... I prayed that the murderer would not be you. β
"Why? Because I killed someone, and I was a bad person? Zhang's eyes were bright and his smile was gentle, "Little oak is scared?" β
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just ......"
"It's normal to not be able to figure it out for a while, but you remember, I will never hurt a friend."
Zhang's words are very firm, his eyes are very sincere, the wisdom between his eyebrows is shining, and the whole person is full of a special beauty...... Lu Li found that he didn't hate the Zhang family at all, and he couldn't hate it.
"You are the number one in Great Xia, come, let Aunt Zhang listen, what do you suspect of Aunt Zhang?" Zhang smiled and spoke, the whole person was elegant and calm, as if what they were talking about now was not her murder case, but a trivial matter, as an elder, she wanted to see if the junior's ability was enough to make her proud.
Under her deliberate guidance, Lu Liqing's feelings were not low at all, but there was a kind of warmth of being cared for by her elders.
"I can't think of the murder weapon, but the bloody clothes ...... You are Mrs. Hou, you have a confidant, but you can't handle it yourself, and Mother Du and others can help you. I think it was you who got the key to Grove and went to his room, but I don't know why. The time you go is not necessarily at night, the house is under strict martial law at night, even if you are Mrs. Hou, it is not good if the movement is too big, you may go in the morning. Everyone in the house gets up early, and when the sky is just dawning, the room needs to be lit to see things. β
Lu Li thought about it step by step as he spoke, "Pang Zi slandered you and killed your husband, you are too calm." It's not that you don't have to do something bad and are not afraid of the ghost knocking on the door, just like a qiΔ in your hands, you expected that Ponzi would have this one, so you are not afraid, you are not worried, you are not even nervous, you have prepared in advance. β
He looked at Yan An again, "And the confession of the master who just feasted, it seems that there is enough motive and everything is reasonable, but you know that Gao Cheng has a plan, shouldn't the master sue Mrs. SΓΉ?" Even if you can't see your wife to avoid suspicion, at least you have to sue SΓΉ Cui Zhi, and then discuss a way, right? Cui Zhi lost his father, and the master taught Cui Zhi that he should let him understand people's hearts and world affairs, instead of protecting him secretly, cultivating an innocent temperament, and waiting for him to go out and fall hard in the future. β
When Shen Wansha heard this, the fan tapped his palm, yes, what Xiao Oak said was right! Could it be that the real murderer is really not the master of the banquet?
Lu Li paused, and said: "The master also said that he threatened Gao Cheng with Pang's life, so Gao Cheng didn't call for help, but these days, listening to the confessions collected by the messengers, Gao Cheng is not a motivated person, and his appearance on weekdays is also quite a bit of a mess. If Gao Cheng really likes Pang Zi and likes Cheng DΓΉ who can give up his life for her, then according to his ability, he can do a lot for Pang Zi. But Ponzi is still living a self-righteous life, and he can't even see through the situation in front of him...... I think it's more likely that Highgrade will take advantage of the opportunity. β
β¦β¦
The more Lu Li said, the clearer the coherence became, and Zhao Zhu also interjected from time to time, sorting it out in the same way, Yan'an's self-surrender and murder process became more and more untenable, and Zhang's suspicion became bigger and bigger.
Shen Wansha's eyes were straight. He listened to Yan An and felt that everything was right during the murder process, and firmly believed that Yan An was the murderer, but the little friend immediately turned around, and the suspect became someone else!
The young master looked at the fan in his hand in a daze, could it be that his ears were so soft that he sounded like anything?
Yan An's nose was sweating, and he seemed to be a little anxious, "I really killed it, maybe the details are a little vague and I can't remember it after a long time, I'll think about it againββ"
"You make it up again!"
Zhang snorted coldly, the light in his eyes shone brightly, and he said the next words very quickly.
"I killed Gao Cheng because he not only committed adultery with Pang Zi and plotted for the position of the prince of Wu'an, but he also wanted to persuade Yan An to become their person. Gao Cheng has another master on his head, I don't know who this master is, but this person is very powerful. β
"I did kill Gao Cheng with an ice blade, and after killing the ice blade and left it on Gao Cheng, I wiped the blood on my body, and did not take off my coat, but put on another piece of clothing that was exactly the same as that day. After returning, the bloody clothes were not burned, and Du's mother personally helped me wash them. Du's mother followed me all day, but when I killed Gao Cheng, she asked her to go to the shop to buy something, she didn't know, but she was very nervous after seeing the bloody clothes, so she was also a little uncalm in the past two days. β
"Pang's son Fen'er is not born to Hou Ye Cui Luo, his father is Gao Cheng. The two had already hooked up, thinking that the matter was tightly hidden, and no one else knew about it. I once secretly took the blood of Hou Ye and Fen'er to recognize each other, and the two did not blend. Cui Luo treats me badly, and I'm too lazy to care about these dirty things. Gao Cheng is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and he may not have sincerity towards Pang Zi, but he still has a fatherly heart for this son who is connected by blood, so I threatened Fen'er's life, and he naturally didn't dare to scream. β
"But he still didn't tell me who his accomplice was."
"I killed Gao Cheng on the busy street to show his master. I want people to know that even though I am a widow and a businessman, I am not easy to bully! β
"I have been paying attention to Gao Cheng for a long time, and I have not been able to intercept any evidence of his contact with outsiders, but in this Hou Mansion, there are people who are with him. There are tokens between them, I have seen the traces of tokens, but I can't catch anyone, this person is too smart, too patient. Originally, I had a lot of time to grind slowly with them, but Gao Cheng's heart was too big, and I hit Yan An and Shizi with the idea, I couldn't sleep at the table, and I couldn't eat well, so I simply killed Gao Cheng first, and then made his room very messy, found a wine vessel with a special pattern and a familiar impression, and took it away. β
"This move is to sue SΓΉ Gaocheng's accomplice, the token is in my hand, this accomplice doesn't know who I am, he will definitely panic, he will be chaotic, he will make mistakes, and he will make mistakes and show his feet."
"Sure enough, when I put it in a corner with a pattern, Mei Xiang came......"
Zhang's back is straight, his eyebrows are beautiful, his expression is dignified, and there is a strong tenacity in his eyes, "I personally took other people's lives, these hands are stained with blood, relatives and friends will be afraid of me, worry about me, maybe the world I face will be different from now on, but I don't regret it!" β
"No one can hurt my people!"
Zhang is too bold, her eyes are sharp, and at this moment, her momentum is as majestic as the sea, overwhelming.
Shen Wansha's shocked mouth opened into a circle, Lu Li was stunned, and looked at Yan An - Yan An sat elegantly and chicly, but his eyes were still hanging down, looking at his hands. Even if his hands were tightly clasped and his fingertips were white, there was really nothing to look at, and he didn't take his eyes off.
Zhang didn't look at Yan An either, Gu Zi spoke, his lips pursed slightly, and his eyes were firm.
Since she entered the room, the two of them hadn't made eye contact, but the atmosphere flowing between them ...... But it's so in tune.
This atmosphere seems to be as natural as being tempered, not deliberately, contrived, deliberately avoiding suspicion, Lu Li believes that if the two of them meet by chance in the next place, the way they get along is probably the same.
Lu Li remembered the way Yan An looked at Zhang's eyes through the window before......
Could it be that they have affection for each other, but they are all careful to keep their proportions, and no one will take a step forward?
"I know that this is only a bit insufficient, the details will be added later, I will tell you a story first, and after speaking, you will probably understand."
Zhang sighed for a long time, his voice was full of the vicissitudes of time and helplessness, "Things have to start from twenty years ago......"
Lu Li felt that Zhang's love was not good, and personally poured a cup of tea for her, "Aunt Zhang is not in a hurry, and said slowly." β
