Uncle Wu was obviously brought in by Gu Xuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shen Qiao smiled and said: "Uncle Wu, if the corpse is not on the boat, but is tied to the bottom of the boat, when passing through the middle of the water, put the rope that binds the corpse looser, but do not break away, in this way, the corpse will not sink to the bottom of the water, and after the people on the shore find out, someone will definitely go over to fish, and when the person goes to fish, the person who controls the rope will let the rope be completely broken, in this way, it can be concealed." ”

Uncle Wu and Gu Xuan's eyes lit up.

According to what Shen Qiao said, it is feasible.

If he found the dragon boat that was closest to him when the body was found in the first place, he would be able to narrow down the area.

"Yes, the closest is the most likely. We now have to find out which dragon boat was the closest to the corpse of the first person to see the corpse at that time. ”

Shen Qiao affirmed.

"Miss Shen, I also went to find out after the officials asked yesterday, the first person to see the corpse was a girl, she was so frightened that she didn't know why, if we asked her, she might not be able to remember."

Uncle Wu hesitated.

Shen Qiao frowned.

This is also possible, the average little girl estimates that the dead have never seen it, and this sudden appearance of floating corpses must have frightened people.

"Hey, what else do you ask, little girl. Let's just ask the deceased's good friend! ”

Gu Xuan said with a smile.

"Okay?"

Uncle Wu was puzzled.

"Well, that's good. Uncle Wu, you can't have heard that Xu Jinhua had that dragon yang fetish before his death, and his good friend was also participating in this dragon boat competition at that time. ”

Gu Xuan said.

"Oh? Gu Gongzi is talking about Lu Yun! ”

Uncle Wu was stunned.

"Huh? Uncle Wu, do you know Xu Jinhua's good friend? ”

Gu Xuan said curiously.

"Know, how can you not know. The matter between Xu Gongzi and Lu Yun, it is estimated that no one in this Qianxian County does not know, and Master Xu is angry with him because of this. It's just that these are all rumors, so I listened to them and didn't take them seriously. ”

Uncle Wu said.

He's not nosy, and he doesn't usually take this kind of business to heart.

"Uncle Wu, have you finished examining the corpses? If the inspection is over, let's go back to the yamen and let Lord Huang go directly to Lu Yun! He was indeed very suspicious about this. ”

Shen Qiao thought for a while and said.

Yesterday, Lu Yun's small action of wanting to escape, Shen Qiao still remembered it clearly.

She wasn't sure that this Lu Yun was the murderer of Xu Jinhua, but Xu Jinhua suddenly appeared from the middle of the water, and it must have something to do with Lu Yun.

"Okay, it's checked, it's been recorded. You can go back. But before leaving, I put on Xu Gongzi's clothes first. ”

Uncle Wu replied.

After dressing Xu Jinhua, the three of them left the room.

Mama Xu followed the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion and waited outside.

Shen Qiao found that this housekeeper was not the same as the housekeeper who talked to Master Xu yesterday.

I immediately understood that it was good for Master Xu to come to the outer room, and he must have bought a small yard, and there was a housekeeper to take care of it.

But Shen Qiao didn't understand.

Why is this old man Xu so bold, knowing that his wife's cousin is a princess, and he dares to blatantly raise people outside.

Looking at the tone of Mrs. Xu's speech, she must have known, and it was possible that she was laissez-faire.

It's really blind to Princess Qi such a big backer.

Women, you just shouldn't put up with this aspect of men.

Endure it, and people will gain an inch.

"Everybody, walk slowly."

The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion sent a few people to the gate.

"Oh, by the way, butler, I have something I want to ask."

Shen Qiao stopped, looked at the old butler, and asked.

"Girl, please say, the little old man must know everything."

The old butler arched his hand.

"I want to ask, what diseases did your son-in-law have when he was alive?"

Shen Qiao asked.

"Disease?"

The old butler's face changed for a moment, and his face was embarrassed.

Gu Xuan pulled Shen Qiao over, looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Butler, Qiao Qiao means that Xu Gongzi had heart disease, or abdominal pain, these physical diseases before his death. ”

"Ah, this, my son-in-law is in good health, he rarely even gets wind and cold, and he has no disease physically."

The old butler replied.

"Oh, got it. Thank you housekeeper. ”

Gu Xuan smiled, then pulled Shen Qiao to turn around and leave.

Shen Qiao understood why the old housekeeper was like this just now, too, in modern times, homosexuality is not a disease, but in ancient times, Longyang fetish was considered by many people to be an unspeakable disease.

Yes, she asked like that just now, and the old housekeeper was embarrassed.

"Uncle Wu, since the deceased was not sick before his death, then it is ruled out that his black lips were due to illness, can you be sure that he was poisoned?"

Getting into the carriage, Shen Qiao asked.

"It's hard to say."

Uncle Wu shook his head.

"Because some diseases can also be fatal at the first onset. Therefore, even if he was in good health before his death, it cannot be said for sure that he was poisoned. And even if it is certain that the deceased died of poisoning, what kind of poison is not visible in him. ”

Uncle Wu then explained.

"Oh. In that case, there are only other clues. ”

Shen Qiao was also a little helpless.

Backward feudal society!

The county government, Lord Huang accompanied Princess Qi in the backyard, and Mrs. Xu was still in a coma.

Princess Qi had already asked someone to call Master Xu to the yamen.

"Lord Huang, the little one did an autopsy again just now, and it was found that the deceased did have traces of being tied up by ropes, as for the cause of death of the deceased, it is still uncertain."

Uncle Wu told his results again.

Lord Huang frowned and said anxiously, "Then what did Gu Gongzi and Miss Shen see?" ”

Shen Qiao looked at Lord Huang and said, "My lord, can you call someone named Lu Yun from yesterday's dragon boat, I have something I want to ask him here." ”

"Oh? Lu Yun, does this person have anything to do with this case? ”

Lord Huang wondered.

"Lord Huang, please cooperate fully."

At this time, Princess Qi walked in slowly, her tone was unquestionable.

"Xiaguan has seen the princess, Xiaguan will let people go to Lu Yun!"

Lord Huang was shocked and hurriedly replied.

"Hmm."

Princess Qi sat on the chair and looked at Gu Xuan and the others.

Gu Xuan told Princess Qi about the results of the analysis of the few people just now.

When she heard that Xu Jinhua and Lu Yun were Longyang lovers, the corners of Princess Qi's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

For a moment, Gu Xuan didn't notice it, but Shen Qiao, who didn't speak, did.

Shen Qiao was very curious about Princess Qi's expression.

It seems that Princess Qi must have known that her nephew has this habit, but when she heard others talk about it, she just twitched the corners of her mouth and looked speechless, and she didn't feel ashamed like Master Xu.

What a strangeness!
