Chapter 54 Shulan's Confession
As soon as I went out, I saw Aunt Rujing and Fu Sheng standing outside the ancestral shrine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Why......" I said as I closed the door and came out.
I have entered this ancestral shrine several times before, and no one has stopped me, I think Shulan also sat in it generously, there is always nothing in this village, women can't enter the ancestral shrine.
"This ......" Aunt Jing was particularly concerned, her smile was already frozen on her face, she looked at the big house where the tablets of the clansmen in the village were placed and said, "There is ...... in this"
Oh, I suddenly understood what she meant, she didn't mind the three corpses of Changjing, Ni and Yushan placed inside, so she didn't want to go into the courtyard. "Let's talk about it here."
Aunt Rujing nodded again and again, and when she heard that she didn't have to go inside, she was relieved, and she was much more generous, "Then, if you have anything to ask, just ask." ”
"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite to me, I have something to ask you to come." I don't think it makes me feel comfortable that she is talking to me so politely, "You were the first to discover Shulan and Yushan, right?" Can you tell me about the specific situation when you found them at that time, the more detailed the better? ”
"Specific...... What's the situation? Aunt Rujing looked at Fu Sheng, and didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence, but Fu Sheng nodded at her, and she seemed to know what to say. Oh, that's right. Then I got it...... Actually, it was like this at the time......"
Late at night, Aunt Jing came out to collect things, and vaguely saw two strange shadows at the entrance of the village not far away. This look almost frightened her soul, Shulan knelt on the ground with a pale face, and a corpse-like figure stood motionless in front of her.
The two approached, but Shulan still didn't react.
Rujing Auntie called Shulan twice, Shulan slowly raised her head, and Rujing Auntie was full of hair. “…… Miss Huo Xi, don't you know, at that time, Shulan's eyes were just like ...... Just like ...... Just like the evil spirits in the mountains! Aunt Rujing finally thought of the most appropriate description she felt, and she couldn't wait to put her hands and feet on her hands and feet, and compared it to the scene she saw at that time, "Oops...... Shulan was about to be scared to death at that time, she was not angry at all, and her eyes almost burst out of green light. ”
From Aunt Jing's description, it is not difficult to judge that Shulan should have been stimulated by something at that time, which caused her behavior to be sluggish, and the whole person looked sluggish and lifeless. Something must have happened in the two days that a person could suddenly become like this, enough to change her temperament in these two short days.
"Then I asked the old man to look at the man on the ground......" Rujing continued to recall.
Ru Jing's wife's wife stepped forward and turned over the person in front of Shulan, and recognized that the person who had lost his breath was Yushan, who had been missing for many days. Aunt Rujing's wife was so frightened that she fell on her heels, and hurriedly retreated and ran back to the village to call someone.
"The fourth uncle is the closest to my house, so he called me first. When I opened the door and saw the appearance of the fourth uncle, I felt that something must have happened, and it happened that Zhuya was not far from me, so I called Zhuya to rush over together. Aunt Rujing was scared silly at the time. We saw Shulan kneeling there, so I discussed with Zhuya, and Zhuya and the fourth uncle brought Yushan and Shulan here first, and I went to tell the adults. Fu Sheng continued with Aunt Jing's words.
And I already know what happened after that.
And the biggest problem now is that if Yushan was dead at that time, with Shulan a weak woman, how could she bring Yushan's body to the entrance of the village and be found. I thought that the days of Yushan's disappearance had just been figured out, but now Shulan has also been missing for two days......
"Your Excellency is here." Fu Sheng heard the voice and turned around.
The watchman pushed Xiao Jue to this side.
"Your Excellency." When Aunt Jing saw Xiao Jue, she also retreated a lot.
"How's it going?" Xiao Jue asked, and he quickly turned his head to notice my location.
I sighed, not knowing how to explain the situation to him.
"It's okay." Xiao Jue groped, reached out and pulled me, and comforted me very simply. "Let's go see Yushan."
"Okay." I didn't know what to say, but I just answered him.
Shouwang pushed Xiao Jue up, and we continued to walk towards the ancestral shrine. Hearing the sound, Zhuya opened the door from the ancestral hall and greeted him, "My lord, Miss Huo Xi." ”
"Fusheng, you can send Aunt Rujing back first." Xiao Jue just heard that greeting just now, and knew that it was Aunt Rujing. After arranging Fu Sheng and Aunt Rujing, he said, "Zhuya, you are guarding the door, if you wait for Qingshan and them to come, you must stop it." ”
"Yes, sir." Bamboo Ya turned and moved out of the way.
"Your Excellency." Shouwang hesitated for a long time, but he still opened his mouth, he looked at me in embarrassment, and asked with a very lack of confidence, "I want to ...... Is it okay to go see my eldest sister? ”
Xiao Jue listened to the watchman's request and did not answer him directly.
Now Shulan is sure that she killed Changjing and Yushan, although her words are full of loopholes, but let her continue to be stubborn like this, her testimony will only harm her after all. Shulan cares about her younger siblings very much, and if she asks Shouwang to meet her, maybe Shouwang can persuade her to tell the truth for Shulan's sake.
I had this idea, so I took over the work of pushing Xiao Jue's wheelchair from the watchman's hand. "Anyway, Shulan is your sister, although she now admits that she killed Changjing and Yushan, but after all, there is no evidence to confirm, and it is probably too arbitrary to decide the case based on her words alone. Before it was confirmed that Shulan was the real murderer, she was still your sister, our friend, she disappeared for two days before the accident, and you are also worried, just go and see her, she is in that warehouse. ”
Before I could finish speaking, the watchman nodded at me gratefully, then turned and rushed to the warehouse.
"Shouwang was shocked when he heard me say that Shulan admitted that she killed Changjing and Yushan, which shows that he didn't believe Shulan would do this at all." I lowered my voice and told Xiao Jue what I saw, and then pushed Xiao Jue up and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Walking into the ancestral hall, I pushed Xiao Jue to Yushan, went back and closed the door, and confirmed that there was indeed no one around.
"Yushan, not dead?" Xiao Jue just took the pulse of the watchman and immediately questioned. "Why is this happening?"
"Shhhh I said, hurriedly approaching him, afraid that his words would attract the attention of others again, "I took a risk, but Yushan did take the poison of the Broken Intestine Grass, but the time is just a little different from what the real murderer believes, and now it is up to you whether you can save him or not." ”
Xiao Jue paused for a moment, "Don't worry." ”
With that, Xiao Jue turned the wheel and turned sideways to touch the things behind him.
Seeing that he was a little clumsy, and it was not difficult to guess what he was looking for, I took down the box he was hanging from the back of his wheelchair and handed it to him. Xiao Jue took the box, opened it unhurriedly, and took out some strange things from the box, similar to the silver needles of later generations, Xiao Jue groped for several places on Yushan's body to pierce it....... or rather, just pricked it, and then began to bleed. Xiao Jue forcefully squeezed out the black blood from Yushan's wound, and used something like moxibustion to point it around the wound......
"When did you discover Jade Mountain?" Xiao Jue's work did not stop, but asked quietly, so plain that people thought that he just wanted to find a random topic to talk to me.
"When Daddy Moon Cicada and Ni fell off the cliff together, but what made me even more sure was the reaction of the people around me later." I was actually very lucky, and it can also be said that Yushan was very lucky, for the first time, I used my reasoning to save people. "Do you remember what Aoyama relayed, Yushan told him that because there were many people in the village, it was inconvenient to go back here several times, so I suspected that Yushan was not completely controlled by anyone at that time, so that he was coerced and hid somewhere. He hid himself, in a place he thought was safe. And that place should be in the village, or very close to the village. During that time, the people of the village would often go up the mountain in groups in order to find him, and at that time, a group of people always gathered in the village from time to time, and if it was not very close, he would probably enter the village without knowing it and bump into other people. But he didn't, and during that time, no one noticed him at all, so I wondered if Yushan would be hiding in the village at that time, hiding in the house of someone he felt very relieved. But then I thought, if he can go back to the village, why not just go back to his home then? Could it be that the family of the person he was hiding in would be more worthy of his trust than Qingshan? ”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Unless this person is the same as Qingshan who makes him trust. When I went up the mountain with Fusheng to check the cave, didn't I find a small footprint? And judging from the environment at the scene, Yushan left the cave only after he had enough time and freedom to extinguish the fire in the cave in the presence of another person. So I speculated that the mysterious man found the cave after Aoyama left the cave, and he persuaded Yushan to believe him and left the cave with him and went down the mountain, returning to the village and hiding in his home in a state where Yushan was completely unrestrained. Or at that time, something happened, like it was like Aoyama was suddenly attacked. I asked Zhuya, at that time, it was he and the moon cicada who found out that Qingshan was attacked, and it was the moon cicada who first shouted at the person who attacked Qingshan and ran away, so that Zhuya thought that the person who attacked Qingshan was Yushan, and then as soon as it was spread to the hundreds, the people in the village believed that Yushan attacked Qingshan, and then began to suspect that Yushan drowned Changjing. It was because of this that it was inconvenient for Yushan, who was hiding in that person's house, to come out and meet Qingshan at this time. But there is a big loophole in this reasoning, that is, the moon cicada. "Speaking of the moon cicada, I didn't deliberately pause again to observe Xiao Jue's reaction, I just did it instinctively, and even I was surprised when I realized this behavior." Why did the moon cicada make Zhuya and the others mistakenly think that the person who injured Qingshan and escaped was Yushan? ”
