The arrival of Mrs. Huai and her entourage made the hall quiet.

She left suddenly, and suddenly turned around, and there were a few more unfamiliar outsiders behind her, and everyone couldn't help but be curious, and the look at Lu Li and the four of them was very obvious. Among them, the one with the worst face and the worst love is Huai Deshui's favorite concubine Shi.

Shi Shi was already crying with the help of the maid, but now he is crying even more heartbreakingly, and he glared at Lu Li and the four of them with dissatisfaction when he took the corner of his eye.

Although her daughter Huaiyu is a concubine, she is also serious and surnamed Huai, and she is the master of the Huai family! Now the death is miserable, just carried home, the housemother's buttocks are not hot, so she left in a hurry, and then came back with four foreign men, do you want others to see her jokes? It's still up to see how miserable Sister Yu'er died!

She looked outside the house by wiping her tears, there was no one, the master hadn't arrived yet, and he hadn't even shown up as a small guy standing in front of him, it seemed that he should have been stumped by business and couldn't come back for a while......

"Madame......" Shi Shi's heart bowed down, and his voice was full of grief, "The concubine knows that Mrs. is in charge of the house, and everything is busy, but Sister Yu has not yet finished her life, so she left her father and mother like this...... The concubine couldn't bear it, so she begged her wife to give her an order to go to the government office and ask for a skilled servant to come back, so that she could find out the cause of death, find the murderer, and give an explanation to the master......"

She wore a delicate dark embroidered moon white Hunan skirt, and Chu Chu's pitiful temperament was set off even more obviously, so she bowed and cried, as if Mrs. Huai bullied her.

Mrs. Huai's eyebrows drooped slightly, as if she hadn't heard this, she didn't pay attention to her at all, Gu Zi walked to the first place, and sat down.

Sixth Miss Huaixin didn't hold back, jumped out and pointed at Shi's nose and scolded, "What do you mean by that?" Accusing her mother of not caring about her fifth sister? Or use the name of the father to suppress the mother? You are just a concubine, and when your father is away, your mother will weigh and deal with the affairs of the house, so you can't intervene! ”

Shi Shi looked at Huai Xin with red eyes and a look of surprise, "Why did Miss Six say this?" The concubine is just a pity that the fifth lady is in a miserable state, the lord and the lady are kind-hearted and virtuous, and they will be more grateful than the concubine, and the concubine is worried that the old lady is too sad and negligent, and she reminds her in a whisper, and there is no secret ......"

"Just this word attracted the accusation of the sixth lady, and the concubine was really wronged!" Shi Shi said and began to wipe his tears again, "The concubine only begs-"

"Aunt Shi should stop a little," Huai Shuyu, the eldest son of Huai Fu, walked to Mrs. Huai and stood still, and looked at Aunt Shi coldly, "Although the fifth sister was born to you, her surname is Huai, calling my father my father and my mother mother, and it has nothing to do with you." She died tragically, her parents naturally couldn't bear it, and they strictly investigated the murderer, if you have the heart to fight, it is better to stand aside and wait. ”

"If Madame wanted to strictly investigate, she would have ordered it a long time ago, how could she entertain foreign guests at this time-" Aunt Shi stood up and pointed at Lu Li and the four of them, excited and ready to go, it seemed that she could pinch it in the next second, and Shi Yi grabbed her.

"Sister...... Sister! ”

In order to hold Aunt Shi, Shi Yi dragged her to a kneel, the two of them turned around, and when everyone saw the back of Shi Yi's head, he used his figure to cover Aunt Shi tightly. I don't know what he did, when he moved away, Aunt Shi had already quieted down, looking at the ground from the corners of her eyes, and it seemed that she didn't want to make any more trouble.

Huai Xin pursed her lips, "Should this have been done a long time ago-"

Shi Yi turned his head and glanced at Huai Xin.

Huaixin's temper is actually not calm, otherwise she wouldn't have quarreled with Huaiyu in the jewelry store because of a hairpin, Shi Yi looked at it, she wanted to quarrel back, but when she saw Huaiyu's corpse on the ground, she bit her lip, endured it, and didn't speak again.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Done arguing?" Mrs. Huai put down the teacup slowly, "After the quarrel, let's get down to business." A few of the people in the hall are specially invited by me. The young man in the middle of the light blue robe, named Lu Li, is a god and ghost skill, and the other three are his friends, and the four of them are very good at autopsy and solve the case. ”

Aunt Shi was surprised, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction, obviously thinking that this servant was too young, was it not Mrs. to fool her!

Mrs. Huai snorted coldly, "I have been in charge of the back house of Huaifu for many years, and I am always busy, I don't bother to do anything that wastes time, whether you have an opinion or not, this matter has been decided." Lu Li, you start the autopsy! ”

In this way, she obviously saw through Aunt Shi's meaning, saying that she didn't have the spare time to fool her, she was not worthy! And also domineeringly declare that the old lady's old lady in the back house has the final say, no opinion is the best, there is an opinion to hold!

Aunt Shi still wanted to speak, but her name and wisdom were all crushed by Mrs. Huai, and there were Mrs. Huai's own sons and adopted concubines at the scene, all of whom were at odds with her, and her younger brother was unwilling to help her, so he was blocked everywhere!

The partial master is not here yet!

When I was not with me, Aunt Shi bit her lip, so she had to do it, and looked at the corpse on the ground with tears in her eyes.

The daughter she gave birth to, how could the flesh that fell from her not feel distressed? But the lights go out, she has been in the Huai family for so long, and the house fight is carrying her line at any time, and she can't ignore the cause of putting it aside at any time, otherwise the consequences of a careless move will be unimaginable, and she still has a son to raise......

The handkerchief wiped her eyes fiercely, and Aunt Shi glared at Lu Li, she wanted to see what such a small trick could detect! If the test is wrong, she promises to tell him to walk around without eating!

Lu Li saw Aunt Shi's eyes, but he didn't care at all, he came to Huaifu for Mrs. Huai, for his mother's past, how the women in this house were torn apart, it had nothing to do with him. His observations were only for one point: whether these people had anything to do with the death of the deceased.

Mrs. Huai spoke, and no one objected, so Lu Li walked to the door, squatted down, and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.

At this glance, I felt that the corpse was a little strange.

According to Zhou's mother, Huai Wu Miss Huai Yu participated in the flower banquet five days ago to show off, and disappeared when she participated in another family's small banquet the next day, only four days away from this time, even if Huai Yu died at that time, it will be four days, but the swelling of this corpse is not like only four days.

Generally, the corpse is immersed in water, whether it is drowned or thrown after death, the change of the corpse in the water is slower than on land, even in the hot summer, it takes two to four hours for the skin of the fingers and toes to wrinkle, it takes a whole day for the skin of the palms and soles to be white, it takes two days for the skin of the back of the hands and insteps to turn white, and it takes seven to fourteen days for the entire skin on the hands to swell and white, and to fall off like gloves.

The skin of this corpse is swollen and white, its facial features are distorted and unrecognizable, and although the skin on its hands has not yet fallen off like a glove, it is not far away.

It doesn't look like a corpse that has been dead for four days at all.

Unless, the corpse has been in a place where the water temperature is particularly high, the alkalinity is particularly high, and there are many bacteria......

Lu Li frowned slightly and carefully observed the corpse.

There is no mushroom-shaped foam in the mouth and nose.

The hand shape is naturally extended, and there are no water plants or branches in the hand.

The cornea is highly opaque, the pupil cannot be seen through, and the conjunctiva has a faint subscattered hemorrhage point, which is small and indistinct, and cannot be used as evidence of asphyxiation.

Conjunctiva, detachment of the oral mucosa.

The corpse's head, hands and feet were all scratched and scraped, and it seemed that it was scratched by a tree branch or a stone wall by the river......

About the wrong direction when the body fell into the water, the scratches on the head and face were particularly heavy, and the skin was swollen, and the appearance could no longer be recognized, if it weren't for the fact that she was wearing Huaiyu's clothes, and her body size was similar to Huaiyu, the Huai family probably couldn't confirm her identity.

After reading it, Lu Li stood up, "Is there wine vinegar in the house?" ”

Everyone was curious about why Lu Li asked, but no one was smart enough to ask, only Mother Zhou, who was beside Mrs. Huai, stood up with a smile, "Yes, the old slave will send someone to get it." ”

Lu Li arched his hand, "Thank you Mother Zhou, if you can find the fine white cotton, you can bring some with you." ”

In the hot summer weather, the corpse was fished out of the river and walked all the way, and now the covering cloth was removed, the dress was untied, and after a while, the corpse was already dry.

Lu Li folded the fine white cotton cloth, poured wine vinegar, and covered the corpse with fine layers, uncovering it after a quarter of an hour...... I saw that on the pale corpse that was still around Fang just now, there were large blue and red corpse spots!

Everyone covered their surprise, biting their lips sideways and couldn't bear to look at these traces...... It's horrible!

Only Lu Li and his three friends were quite calm.

Shen Wansha swept the hall around, and said in his heart that this is where it is, the little oak will also dissect the corpse, scaring you to death!

Helian Yu is not more experienced than Shen Wansha, but he is not as knowledgeable as these people, and he maintains a consistent smile on his face, like a spring breeze.

Zhao Zhu's slender eyes were inky, and his scorching gaze never left Lu Li's hand. These hands are slender and lush, and they are obviously in contact with the corpse, but they are not disgusting at all, on the contrary, they are particularly clean and dexterous, as if there is a strange magic, which is particularly attractive...... I can't get enough of it.

Lu Li ignored all the background and carefully observed the deceased.

The deceased's shoulder blades, back, and buttocks have large corpse spots, and the corpse spots do not fade when pressed with fingers, and the corpse spots do not transfer when turned over.

There are bruising and compression marks on the neck, the larynx is slightly collapsed, and the neck bone is not damaged......

Later, Lu Li wiped his hands, frowned, and came to a conclusion, "The deceased did not drown. ”

"Not drowned?" Aunt Shi covered her mouth, her face full of horror.

Lu Li nodded and looked at Mrs. Huai, "The deceased was already dead before falling into the water, except for the strangulation on the neck, there were no other obvious fatal injuries, it is likely that he was strangled to death, but if you want to know a more detailed examination, you need to dissect." ”

"Strangulation?" Mrs. Huai's eyes shone slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Indeed, the dead were violently choked." Lu Li actually had some doubts, he always felt that this corpse was a little strange, but he couldn't see it if he only looked at it like this, it would be nice if he could dissect it......

"It's you! You strangled my daughter! Aunt Shi screamed and pounced on Huaixin, "You are jealous of Sister Yu, you didn't win the quarrel, you feel embarrassed, and you are angry, so you strangled Sister Yu!" ”

Huai Xin took a few steps back to avoid Aunt Shi, frowning and replying, "She has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, except for comparison, what is there to make me jealous!" I have quarreled with her countless times since I was a child, and if I had no resentment, I would have killed her a long time ago, so why wait until now? Don't spew blood! ”

"There's no one but you!" Aunt Shi continued to pounce on Huaixin, eager to tear Huaixin apart, crying while pounced, "My hard-working Sister Yu ......"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and a pink porcelain teacup was thrown on the ground and shattered.

Aunt Shi immediately stopped.

Mrs. Huai looked at him coldly, her voice was as cold as frost, "Huaiyu is your daughter?" You deserve it too! ”

Aunt Shi shook and realized that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry, so she bit her lip and stopped talking.

Seeing that the hall was quiet, Lu Li looked around, "Dare to ask what happened to Miss Fifth before she disappeared?" ”

Mrs. Huai closed her eyes slightly, sat on the top and didn't speak, Huai Shuyu was quiet, stood up and said, "Before the fifth sister had an accident, she participated in the small banquet with me. ”

"If it's convenient, please let me know the details." Lu Li gave up.

Huai Shuyu returned the salute seriously, "There is nothing inconvenient, Mr. will come to help solve the death of my fifth sister, and he should know this." ”

After that, he told it in earnest.

It turned out that this day's banquet was different from the flower banquet of the previous day. The flower banquet is hosted by the wife of the transfer envoy, and the ladies bring their daughters to the banquet together, saying that it is to enjoy the flowers, but in fact, the elders look at the girl, if they are satisfied, they can be sons and daughters. And this day's small banquet was hosted by the eldest son of a five-grade official family, and friends of the same age were invited to play. The eldest son had a half-sister, and when the elder brother was going to hold a banquet, she joined in the fun and invited her friends to play.

Because of the large place in the house, there are two sides of the meal, one side of the banquet for male guests, and the other side for female guests, which does not affect each other.

Because such a small banquet is not small, it also separates men and women, and there is nothing rude, even if the young boys and girls are curious and gather together to peek at each other, as long as it is not too much, the elders will acquiesce and let them make trouble.

After all, etiquette is etiquette, and sometimes elders also hope that their children can be childhood sweethearts and achieve good karma.

Because of Huaiyu's entanglement, this day's small banquet, not only Huaixin went, but Huai Shuyu also went.

Huai Shuyu was playing with his friends to make poems, and he was in the mood, and someone came to report that Miss Five and Miss Six were making trouble again. As an elder brother and a man in the family, it is impossible for Huai Shuyu to ignore it, and the sisters at home follow them no matter how much trouble, but it is not right to come out and be embarrassed, so he hurried over.

The two venues for men and women are separated by a canal, the canal is meandering, and there is a rockery on the side, so he is not good to walk directly to the abrupt female guest, so he stands on the high place of the rockery and overlooks, and at the same time listens to the reply of the maid.

It turned out that Huai Xin's handkerchief was accidentally handed over, and the tea was splashed on Huai Yu's hand a little, but fortunately, the tea was not hot, and Huai Yu was not injured, but the handkerchief was stained a little. But Huaiyu was unhappy, she didn't say it at the moment, and when others started talking again, she suddenly stood up, deliberately knocked over the cup, and poured the entire cup of tea on Huaixin's handkerchief. She clearly meant it, but scoffed, 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.'"

Huai Xin couldn't help but reply. Just because this time this tea is new, it is very hot, the clothes are dirty and not to mention, the little girl's hands are burned red, she thinks Huaiyu is very excessive, if you have an opinion on her, you can come directly to her, and it is not a good thing to go to her friend.

Huaiyu arrogantly said that it was just an accident, or someone else came to make trouble first, she avenged herself unexpectedly, and she couldn't blame her at all.

In front of the public, Huaixin Huaiyu didn't dare to make noise openly, so she found another way to fight.

The games played by the girls, throwing pots, and shooting, both of them went to compete, and they looked kind, but the bets became more and more outrageous, which fully explained the ugly Cheng dù of the scene, and the two of them were unconscious, and they felt that no one could see it.

Huai Shuyu looked at the two vindictive sisters, and then looked at the group of girls around the sisters, and felt a headache.

He asked the maids to go over and send a message, and told them to stop at once, go and ask the master to take their leave, meet at the gate, and go home at once!

The maid walked across the white jade bridge to pass the word, Huaixin Huaiyu followed the maid's guidance, saw the figure standing on the rockery far away, stomped his feet, and had to be obedient.

At this moment, the main family informed that the banquet had been set up, and everyone was invited to the table. followed the young master of the main family to invite him, as well as Shi Yi.

Huaixin Huaiyu looked at Huai Shuyu with a begging gaze, without it, it's too embarrassing to leave now, and the banquet will be held immediately, but they left, as if they were driven away by the master's family, even if they were not driven away, they did something bad, and they continued to stay without face.

Shi Yi also came over and said to Huaishu Yuyuan, saying that it would be unruly to leave if he didn't eat, and the two sisters now knew that they were wrong, so it was better to slow down and save face for each other.

This is reasonable, and it is difficult for Huai Shuyu himself to resist the enthusiasm of the young master of the main family, so he has to agree. However, he still asked the maid to pass on another word, after entering the banquet, leave immediately, and no trouble is allowed!

At this banquet, Huai Shuyu was not happy at all, and only used two chopsticks, so he said goodbye to the son of the main family and went to wait for his sisters at the door.

But he just waited for Huaixin to come.

Because Huaixin Huaiyu was awkward and did not sit at the same table, Huaixin did not know Huaiyu's situation.

This time, the Huai family brothers and sisters went on a trip, and sent two carriages, one for Huai Shuyu and one for Huai Xin and Huaiyu. In order to prevent the two sisters from quarreling again when they met, Huai Shuyu helped Huaixin into his carriage, recruited someone to come over, and escorted her back to the house first. He himself turned back to Huaiyu and prepared to go back in the same car with this sister.

Because Huaixin is a woman, Huai Shuyu, who is an elder brother, cannot escort him personally, so he sent all the subordinates he brought over to protect him, and only the personal maid and the little maid were left by his side. He sent a maid into the inner courtyard to inquire and search, the little maid looked for any news in the outer courtyard, and he waited in the bamboo pavilion outside the second gate.

After a while, the maid and the little maid returned, indicating that they had not seen Huaiyu anywhere, nor had they heard any information about where she had gone.

Huai Shuyu was a little worried, and asked the maid again, if the guests in the inner house could leave.

The maid replied, since Huaixin asked for resignation, many young ladies were tired of playing, and also asked for resignation, and many of them left one after another.

Huai Shuyu remembered that Huai Xin and Huai Yu often quarreled, basically quarreling from childhood to adulthood, they were close in age, and often needed to take a car.

So he immediately went home, wanting to see if Huaiyu had returned.

Huaixin's car went very slowly, but he borrowed the master's horse to ride in a hurry, so he and Huaixin arrived home with their front and back feet, but Huaiyu did not come back.

Huai Shuyu was worried, so she reported the situation to Mrs. Huai, and Mrs. Huai immediately sent someone to secretly visit Miss Heyan's list to inquire if Huaiyu was traveling with her.

But until the banquet ended, there was still no news.

Mrs. Huai was worried. Because although Huaiyu has a little temper, she doesn't dare to go too out of line, she dares not to come back in a car with Huaixin, but she will definitely avoid the elders and send her back first, otherwise she will be punished when she goes home.

She had never been as silent and unheard from as she had been this time.

Mrs. Huai immediately informed Huai Deshui of the news. Huai Deshui was also anxious, and the husband and wife each cast their nets to find it. It was about the reputation of the girl's family, and they didn't dare to look for it, so they only tried their best to make secret visits.

It's a pity that there has been no news until today......

Huai Shuyu's eyebrows were deeply locked when he spoke, and his tone was calm, but Lu Li could still see that this young man was not afraid.

After experiencing such a thing, his sister lost and had an accident in his own hands, whether this sister was close to him or not, whether she liked it or hated it, he definitely felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Aunt Shi glared at Huaixin and said hatefully, "You hurt Sister Yu!" It's common for sisters to quarrel, but Sister Yu never wanted to kill you, but you strangled her to death without blinking an eye, it's really ruthless! ”

Huai Xin raised her little face and glared back, "Fifth sister suffered this evil thing, you don't want to find out the reason, what does it mean to push me all at once!" Could it be that you know the beginning of this matter, and you don't want to continue the investigation, you just want to rely on me! ”

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Huai Shuyu couldn't help but be angry, "Don't quarrel!" ”

He stared at Aunt Shi, "If you are here, you will definitely find out the facts of the case, what's the use of arguing around!" ”

Aunt Shi bit her lip and suddenly broke out, pointing at Huai Shuyu, "It's you!" You can't get used to me competing for favor and letting the lord alienate his wife, so you want to kill my daughter! ”

Shi Yi had already quickly stepped forward to stop her when she raised her hand to Huai Shuyu, but Aunt Shi was so fast that he couldn't stop it at all!

Huai Shuyu's eyes narrowed suddenly, and her voice sank, "Aunt Shi is cautious." My mother is my father's wife, and she is the wife of the Huai family, even if you give birth to nine tails, you can't snatch it. Just because I was suspected of killing Sister Yu, Aunt Shi dared to guess too much. ”

"But you still suspect that I killed your deaf sister!"

"Sister be cautious!"

"Shi's!"

Aunt Shi was stimulated by Huai Shuyu, and when she said the above sentence impulsively, Shi Yi immediately pulled her and covered her mouth tightly.

At the same time, Mrs. Huai's eyes shot like sharp arrows, and her hand on the chair trembled slightly, and her expression was quite scary, as if she wanted to eat Aunt Shi alive.

Huai Xin took a few steps back, covered her mouth with her hands, and didn't dare to make a sound.

Huai Shuyu stepped forward, her eyes were like cold stars, aggressive, "Then please ask Aunt Shi to explain, why my sister was born deaf?" Why did my mother get rubella when she was pregnant with my sister? ”
