Wen Chongxiao hadn't figured out the slightest clue, but he overheard a report from the guards in the palace, saying that Lord Chen had arrived at the mansion with dozens of Praetorian Guards from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Didn't General Ben tell you not to report to the official first, who informed the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Wen Chongxiao asked reproachfully

"Listening to General Wen's words, are you blaming the subordinate for coming uninvited?" As she spoke, Chen Lan had already led people into the back garden, and still saluted Wen Chongxiao and Princess An Ning first, and said with a straight face: "This official received a secret letter from the flying knife, which said that there was a murder in the General's Mansion, and asked someone Chen to come to investigate it quickly." ”

Flying knife secret letter? Wen Chongxiao was suspicious in his heart, but this matter really belonged to Chen Lan's power, and it was not easy to forcibly stop it, because he said: "The one who was killed was just a little girl in our house, and the incident happened suddenly, and she didn't dare to alarm Lord Chen." ”

"General Wen's words are wrong." Chen Lan walked in front of Wen Chongxiao, softened his tone and said: "General Rong Ma has been a great hero of our Xi Country all his life, Chen Mou, as the leader of the supervision envoy, it is incumbent on him to protect the safety of the General's Mansion, not to mention that now that there is a murder in the mansion, the lower officials have been derelict in their duties first, so how can they be alarmed." ”

With that, Chen Lan motioned for two guards to enter the house and search. After a while, he saw a person come out of the room, holding a jade pendant with a tassel in his hand, and reported to Chen Lan: "My lord, my subordinates have found a jade pendant in the room. ”

Chen Lan took the jade pendant, but saw that it was a piece of fine Roland jade, worth 10,000 gold, and it was definitely not something that the people in the house could have.

Aunt Huo saw the jade pendant from a distance, and saw at a glance that this jade pendant was the one Wen Changge was wearing, and said in a panic: "This, isn't this the third child's jade pendant, how could it fall in the Ruyi room?" ”

"You are a woman, what a mouth!" Wen Chongxiao glared at Huo's family, how could he not see that the jade pendant was Changge's belongings, but he was thinking in his heart that Changge had always disagreed with Ruyi's marriage, and he suffered a family law for this a few days ago, and it was inevitable that he would have resentments in his heart. If Ruyi died, the marriage between the two would naturally not be counted, could it be that Changge was impulsive and simply killed Ruyi? I don't think about it.

Chen Lan held up the jade pendant and said to everyone: "Since the jade pendant left at the scene of the murder belongs to the third prince, according to the rules, the third prince will be asked to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with the official to assist in the investigation of this case." ”

"Wait!" Wen Chongxiao stopped Chen Lan and said slowly: "Lord Chen doesn't know, this dead Ruyi girl and Changge have a marriage contract in advance, things like sachets, jade pendants, fan pendants, etc., it is not for nothing that they are given and received privately, and just a piece of jade pendant is not enough to arrest people." ”

"Dad, I haven't done it, so I'm naturally not afraid to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with him! Besides, I also want to know who killed Ruyi. Wen Changge ignored his mother Lin's obstruction, quickly took a few steps forward, and said calmly: "This jade pendant was not given to Ruyi by me. I lay in bed for a few days, and I didn't wear this rausch at all. I felt better today before I went out for a walk, and when I changed clothes in the morning, I found that the pendant was missing, and I thought it was accidentally lost outside, so I didn't care. ”

Chen Lan smiled and said: "This official will find out, but now with only the words of Wen Gongzi, I am afraid it will be difficult to clear the suspicion." ”

Although Wen Chongxiao has great achievements in war and has a high prestige, he is a martial artist after all, and he is far inferior to Chen Lan in terms of verbal kung fu. At this time, seeing that he insisted on taking Changge away, he lost patience for a while, so he simply showed his sword directly, and said, "If Lord Chen must take away the dog, he must pass the old man's level first!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the guards of the General's Mansion rushed forward and confronted the Praetorian Guards brought by Chen Lan.

It is said that there was a murder in the house, and it was Du Ruyi who was on the cusp of the storm who was killed, Jiang Wanluo's occupational disease was inevitably hooked again, taking advantage of the chaos in the house, she first had the courage to personally send Wen Caiqin back to the residence of the main garden, and then came to the back garden alone, mixing in the crowd to find out. Seeing that the two sides are deadlocked, the heart is really a godsend, if he can find a way to clear the suspicion for Wen Changge, it can be regarded as atonement, and then show loyalty to the masters, it should not be a problem to return to Zhengyuan to do things.

Although Jiang Wanluo was not completely sure, judging from Changge's reaction when he learned of Ruyi's death, the murderer should not be him. So he had the courage to squeeze through the crowd, walked in front of Chen Lan and Wen Chongxiao, and said, "General Wen, Lord Chen!" The slave may have a way to prove the innocence of the third young master. ”

Most of the people in the Wen family have never seen Jiang Wanluo, or they are not impressed, and when they saw her a yellow-haired girl suddenly stand up and say that they could help Changge get rid of their crimes, they couldn't help but talk about it.

Chen Lan naturally knew Jiang Wanluo's true identity, but when she saw that she had the courage to stand up for the Wen family at this time, she was very puzzled, and said sharply: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is handling the case, how can you allow a little girl to intervene and not retreat!" ”

Although Wen Chongxiao was suspicious, seeing that she was helping the Wen family speak after all, he also interrupted Chen Lan and said to Jiang Wanluo: "Little girl, what knowledge do you have, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"General, can you let the slave maid go to the body of Miss Ruyi to examine it first." Jiang Wanluo said, and there was another commotion in the crowd.

Tsk, listen, one of her girls actually said that she wanted to see the dead!

How dirty that thing is, it's an unjust ghost, we can't hide, she still has to go see it!

Oops, that's so obscure! Do you think she will be haunted by unjust spirits! It's really unbelievable!

Wen Chongxiao originally had some doubts, but seeing that Jiang Wanluo was so bold and knowledgeable, he allowed her to enter.

Although Chen Lan was unhappy in her heart, after all, Wen Chongxiao was born in a puppet, if he annoyed him by touching him hard, he would really be playful, and he was not his opponent, so he would keep quiet and wait and see what happened.

Jiang Wanluo walked to Ruyi's corpse, dipped her hand in a little blood stain on the ground, and then pushed Ruyi's head to the side, looked at the direction in which the flying knife was inserted, and felt the bottom of her heart.

Seeing Jiang Wanluo coming out of the room, Chen Lanfang shook off her official robe and said, "Since you have finished the inspection, you must carefully explain the reason, otherwise the official will punish you for the crime of obstructing the case." ”

Jiang Wanluo didn't pay attention to him, raised her bloodstained hand and pointed at everyone: "Miss Ruyi was killed by a flying knife through her throat, and there was not much bleeding, and the weather was hot at noon, but the only few drops of blood on the ground had not yet dried, indicating that Ruyi would not be killed for more than an hour." And just an hour ago, the slave maid met the third young master and the fourth young lady by the Stacked Green Court in the back garden, and didn't rush over until they heard that something was wrong in the house, so the third young master didn't have time to commit murder. ”

Hearing this, Chen Lan couldn't help laughing and said: "Are you a three-year-old doll when I think Chen Lan is a three-year-old doll, just based on a few drops of blood stains that have not yet dried and a few words of testimony, it is too far-fetched to conclude that this matter has nothing to do with Wen Gongzi." ”

"The slave hasn't finished speaking, what are you panicking about?" Jiang Wanluo smiled calmly, and then said: "The murderer was killed with one knife, it can be seen that this person's use of flying knives is very skillful, and he will not be able to do it without a few years of hard work." And the handle of the knife inserted into Ruyi's throat is inward, so this flying knife is shot by the murderer from his right hand, and according to the slave maid's observation, the third young master is a left-handed hand, which I think the servants and maids in the house can testify, even if he wants to hide from others and deliberately practice the right-handed flying knife, he will never learn such a skilled knife technique in such a short time. ”

Chen Lan and Jiang Wanluo looked at each other, with a little hostility in their eyes, but what Wanluo said was reasonable, so he couldn't refute it, so he paused and said, "Then how do you explain the jade pendant left at the scene?" ”
