It was Daji who sent the palace people to find the guest house, and they explained their intention to Jinyang, but because of another tragedy, Jinyang was frightened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The palace people took us to the site of the fifth tragedy, the mansion of Lord Su Yin.

Ah Da kept his head down, and whoever said anything was a submissive look.

The deceased was the daughter-in-law of Lord Su Yin, Mrs. He Jiang. Her husband is the eldest son of Lord Su Yin, Lord Chensu, I heard that the relationship between Lord Chensu and Lord Su Yin is not very good, he was originally a son born to Mrs. Xiang Mi, the wife of Lord Su Yin, and others, and later Mrs. Xiang Mi and Lord Su Yin got married, which is of course, Lord Su Yin became the stepfather of Lord Chensu. Mrs. Xiangmi's maiden family is said to be very powerful, and Mrs. Xiangmi and Lord Su Yin were married for six years and gave birth to a son. Lord Chensu is fifteen years older than his half-brother, and he does not have a good relationship with his stepfather, Lord Suyin, so after getting married two years ago, he moved out of the mansion of Lord Suyin. And the reason why his wife, Mrs. He Jiang, had an accident in Lord Suyin's mansion, I heard that it was because Mrs. He Jiang came to serve food to Lord Suyin and Mrs. Xiangmi yesterday afternoon, and then had to stay in the mansion because of heavy rain, and this happened.

Ah Da's subordinates brought over the severed hand they had salvaged in a well in the back alley in the morning, which happened to match the broken left wrist on Mrs. He Jiang's corpse, and Xiao Jue went forward with bamboo teeth to check it.

I glanced around the courtyard and saw a man who had hurried back from outside the gate, standing in the middle of the court, looking very sad, staring at the corpse of Madame He Jiang, who tried to come forward several times but was stopped from him. When he noticed him, he left everyone and walked over to him, but he was met with angry eyes, and we were a little far away, and there were various voices in the court, so I couldn't hear what he was saying. But at this moment, I noticed a figure that was not unfamiliar and walked among them.

It's a summons!

I hesitated, then gave the watchman a look, and the watchman followed me toward them.

"It's you?!" When Zhao Qin was caught between the two of them, he was very surprised to see me.

"Zhao Qin, this is Mrs. Xiao who was invited by the queen to investigate this case, and she must not be rude." Lord Su Yin hurriedly stopped it.

"Mrs. Xiao," Zhao Qin muttered to himself, smiling disdainfully at Lord Suyin, "I know her." ”

I smiled silently, and I could really feel his rejection of me.

"It's just that I didn't expect that Mrs. Xiao turned out to be someone sent by the queen." He has a kind of hostility, very distinct.

"Summoning Qin." The man scolded him, although his voice was not loud and did not seem to be scolding, but his tone was serious and majestic. "Since it is a person sent by the queen, it is even more important to be neglected."

Zhao Qin turned his head away, looking angry.

"Mrs. Xiao." The man bowed to me, "Chen Su didn't know that Mrs. Xiao came to investigate, so I was negligent, and I ask Mrs. for forgiveness." ”

guessed right, he was really a minister. Then Zhao Qin should be the youngest son of Lord Su Yin and the younger brother of Lord Chensu. "It's okay, I also came to disturb because of the queen's entrustment. I can't take into account the feelings of Lord Chensu and Lord Su Yin's mansion, I hope you will forgive me. ”

Lord Su Yin subconsciously looked at Lord Chensu, and there was a lot of vigilance in his eyes, while Zhao Qin was obviously more inclined to Lord Chensu, and he had been glaring angrily at his own father. However, Lord Chensu turned a blind eye to Lord Su Yin's gaze, and at this moment, he was sandwiched between Lord Su Yin and Zhao Qin, but he was more like an outsider.

This family is really funny, I can only hold back a smile, "Lord Suyin, because the deceased is the wife of Lord Chensu, but because he died in the adult's mansion, I have to ask the two of you to ask separately for the time being, can you, please ask the adult to avoid it first, and then ask the adult to ask after I ask Lord Chensu?" ”

Lord Su Yin looked at Lord Chensu again, and nodded to me, "Okay, Mrs. Xiao is done with her work later, but you can tell the house slaves in this family to come to the minister." ”

After that, Lord Su Yin turned around and left, leaving me alone with Lord Chensu and Zhao Qin, who had no intention of leaving.

I don't mind if Zhao Qin is there, "Lord Chensu, can you tell me when was the last time you saw your wife?" ”

"Yesterday at noon." Lord Chensu didn't even think about it, so he answered me directly. "Yesterday was my mother's birthday, I was busy with official business and couldn't get out, it was my wife who said that she would come to serve some food in the afternoon and greet my mother for me."

Mother's birthday is not shown because of official business, but I heard that the relationship between this Lord Chensu and his father is not very good, and it is surprising that his relationship with his mother is also so dull. "What is the relationship between Lord Chensu and Lingtang?"

Zhao Qin suddenly looked a little angry, but before he could attack, Lord Chensu glanced at it lightly, and Zhao Qin immediately relented. Lord Chensu then explained, "Since Mrs. Xiao is entrusted by the queen, she must not be a vulgar person, and naturally she should also find out that Chensu is estranged from her parents, and she is not the biological son of Lord Yin." Since Chen Su got married and left home two years ago, he has returned here very few times in the past two years, but he has a lot of respect for his mother and does not dare to slack off. ”

What is surprising is that Lord Chensu did not hide the relationship between him and his mother and stepfather, and made it clear that he only had respect for his mother, but I didn't know what to ask for a while.

Zhao Qin sneered, as if he had expected that I would be speechless by Lord Chensu.

I thought for a moment, "What about Zhao Qin's son?" Did Zhao Qin Gongzi see Mrs. He Jiang yesterday? ”

Lord Chensu also turned his head, so that Zhao Qin had to tell the truth, he glanced at Lord Chensu, the smugness on his face receded, and replied very carefully, "I have seen it, but I have only seen it once, I went out, and I got the news back this morning, so I immediately went to find the eldest brother." ”

"So, can you recall the last time you saw Mrs. He Jiang yesterday?" I say. "Perhaps, can you think of something that Mrs. He Jiang said, or that Mrs. He Jiang had a conflict with someone in this mansion?"

"Does Mrs. Xiao suspect that it was the people in this mansion who killed her sister-in-law?!" Zhao Qin's temper flares up from time to time, but obviously, he was suppressed by Lord Su, and several sudden outbursts of anger dimmed.

"Of course." Of course, this sentence attracted the side eyes of Lord Chensu, and I explained it to them. "This is Lord Suyin's mansion, when I first came here, I confirmed that Mrs. He Jiang was found killed in the cooking room, from the gate to the cooking room, you have to go through three guards, from the back door to the cooking room also need to go through two guards, and the back door is usually locked very early, the security in this mansion is also very strict, and the possibility of the murderer outside breaking into the mansion to commit a crime is almost non-existent. So since Mrs. He Jiang was killed in the mansion, it cannot be ruled out that the people in the mansion killed her, so I must investigate. Otherwise, if the real murderer is still lurking in the mansion, it will pose a threat to the safety of others. Please understand Lord Chensu and Zhao Qin. ”

Zhao Qin looked at Lord Chensu and did not speak.

Lord Chensu hesitated cautiously for a moment before asking me, "Mrs. Xiao, is there any connection between the murder of my wife and the several murders that happened in Chaoge City before?" Was it the same murderer? ”

Lord Chensu's reaction showed that he cared about this matter.

I let out a long breath, "Lord Chensu, after a preliminary examination, Mrs. He Jiang died in the mansion of Lord Yin, and when the time of murder was judged to be last night, she was killed in the cooking room, and there was no one on duty near the cooking room at that time, because I think the murderer may be a person who knows this mansion very well. Compared with the previous four murders that occurred in Chaoge City, Mrs. He Jiang, like the four deceased, was killed by the murderer by biting off her neck......"

When I said this, I found that Lord Chensu closed his eyes as if he was in pain, and he had to pause for a moment before he said, "But one thing is very strange, in the first four murders, starting from the death of Harrier Zhu, the obvious scars left by the murderer on the deceased gradually intensified, and even in the fourth murder case, the murderer tore the fourth victim to pieces. However, Mrs. He Jiang did not seem to have suffered any other injuries, except that her left hand was cut off and discarded in the well in the back alley outside the mansion......"

This is a very serious bug, and I can't understand why the fifth deceased seems to have suddenly stopped when we have just deduced that the murderer is gradually increasing his cruelty to the deceased.

Unless, unless he has different feelings for Mrs. Hejiang.

But if this is the case, then what does it mean to cut off Mrs. Hejiang's left hand?

Lord Chensu's breath became heavy, he frowned, his eyes closed, and his hands behind his back, looking from the outline of his shoulders, were clenched into fists in his sleeves. He was sad, however, refused to show it directly.

It's the environment, right? He refused to be in this environment and showed his sadness.

Because he doesn't want to reflect his loss in front of Lord Suyin?

"Mrs. Hejiang, what kind of person is you? Does she have a feud with anyone? "If the murderer has specific feelings for Mrs. He Jiang, then it is necessary to start the investigation with the people around Mrs. He Jiang.

"She's a very good woman." Lord Chensu closed his eyes, sighed, and slowly opened his eyes as he said this. "She's nice, kind, and filial."

"Very kind? Very filial? It sounds like a very satisfactory answer, but think about it, the relationship between Lord Chensu and his biological mother and stepfather is so stiff, but the woman who is his wife is still thinking about his mother's birthday, and specially came to fulfill his filial piety and come to serve him.

But if she hadn't come to serve food, she wouldn't have died because of this.

"My sister-in-law is indeed a very good person, there is no doubt about that." Zhao Qin also affirmed He Jiang's personality, and said very firmly, "My sister-in-law married my eldest brother at the age of fifteen, and for two years she has adhered to women's morals, taken good care of my eldest brother, and treated my parents well. ”

If He Jiang married Lord Chensu at the age of fifteen, then he will be seventeen years old this year, no matter how Lord Chensu looks at it, he is in his thirties, and the age difference between the two is so much, and he can still live so well, it can be seen that He Jiang is really attentive in this marriage. "However, does Lord Chensu only have one wife, Mrs. He Jiang?"
