Chapter Seventy-One: Who Is the Murderer?
I raised my head, intending to look around, but it happened that Duan Hong also raised his head, so the two of us glanced at each other, probably the two of us thought of one place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Duan Hong turned his head to look around indifferently, and when I was air again, I didn't care, and looked around.
There didn't seem to be a place to hide people in the room, so I guessed that when An Ruren came in, the gangsters were likely to hide behind the door, and when they were horrified to find Chun'er's dead body, the murderer took advantage of the door wide open to leave the room, or the man hid in the crowd by fishing in troubled waters.
So I began to focus on the expressions of the group of people behind me, An Ruren and her maidservant, judging from the time, would definitely not be murderers. However, it is not impossible for them to kill people in advance and then pretend to be the first discoverers. It's just that no one is stupid enough to kill their handmaid in their room and then scream to attract other people. This kind of desire to cover up will only be self-defeating, so anyone with a little brain will not do this, and the suspicion of An Ru can be ruled out for the time being.
Chang Liangren and her maidservant, all have a frightened expression of seeing a ghost, Chang Liangren, who has always been bold, at this time his face is whiter than paper, it seems that she is usually ruthless and cold, that is, a paper tiger, and her courage is not as good as Yingcui and Taohong standing beside me. Usually teary-eyed peach, when I saw Chun'er's corpse, I was still very calm and stood behind me with Yingcui as a clock, it seems that I usually really underestimate her.
In addition to fear, there was a trace of panic on Chen Ruren's face, and her fingers pinched the handkerchief and trembled slightly, I looked at her, her eyes flickered, as if she had a ghost in her heart.
This is not her dormitory, how can this matter have anything to do with her? I decided to startle the snake, so I asked the people around me who had come in with whom, and who had come in behind me?
An Ruren and several of her maidservants were the first to discover the incident, so there is no need to say more. Chang Liangren said that she came in with her personal maidservant, and when she came, An Ruren and Chen Ruren were already there, and then a few more minions came to watch the excitement, she didn't pay attention to who was, but there was no face.
After hearing Chang Liangren's explanation, several servant maids fell to the ground, saying that they had come in together, and that they had come in with Chang Liangren, and that I had come in with Yingcui and Taohong, two personal maidservants.
After I brought Yingcui and Taohong in, Duan Hong followed and arrived, before that, there were already a lot of people crowded in the house, and there were no strange and suspicious people.
Duan Hong suddenly stood up, walked to the back of the window, glanced out, and then walked back and stared at everyone's shoes. I also curiously walked to the window and found that there was a muddy grass with a brand new shoe print on it, so I understood Duan Hong's thoughts.
However, none of the shoes of the people in the house were stained with mud, which means that someone jumped out of here and left. The propped up rear window should be propped up from the inside with a "fork rod" that supports the window so that it will not close. In other words, after someone jumped out of here, another person in the house held up the window door with a fork pole.
So, after someone jumped out of the window, there was another person in the house. Then my previous guess is correct, there is one murderer, and he must have been hiding in the house when An Ruren entered.
According to everyone's statements, no one saw them when they came into the house, and An Ruren said that because they saw Chun'er's corpse, all their eyes were attracted to it, and they didn't pay attention to who came in later. And if Chen Ruren came to see the excitement, why didn't he follow any maid around, this is completely illogical.
Chen Ruren is the biggest suspect, but there is no direct evidence in front of her to prove that she is the murderer, so I don't have much to say.
Judging from the wound on Chun'er's neck, it is thin and long, like a wound made of a long sword or a hidden blade, and the technique is very fast and accurate, cutting the carotid artery in one move. I suddenly thought of those black-clothed killers who Duan Hong called the Blue Eagle Gang, and the weapons they held seemed to be mostly sharp swords, and it was very likely that they had infiltrated the Shizi Mansion. This reminds me of another character who can be, the new beggar's descendant.
Chen Ruren has nothing to do with this matter, she is very likely to be an accomplice, at least an insider. I looked at her and wondered if I should ask her, but even if I did, how?
My current relationship with Duan Hong is the two ends of the North and South Poles, and he will definitely not believe what I say. So I'm going to hint at him, with Duan Hong's shrewd head, it's impossible not to understand my hints.
But before I could speak, Duan Hong ordered someone to carry Chun'er's body out, and arranged for someone to temporarily lead the frightened An Ruren to his Qingfeng Garden courtyard to live. Then he walked away without saying a word, without even looking at me.
An Ruren, who had been blessed by misfortune, immediately happily ordered someone to pack up her things, and chased after Duan Hong's ass happily.
I opened my mouth in embarrassment, and then flicked my sleeves, and I also warmed up the incense pavilion in a huff.
If it weren't for the fear that the Chang clan would give Duan Hong a funeral, I wouldn't have bothered with these things. Back in the room, I sat down on the incense table, picked up the teapot, and poured down several sips of cool tea, which reduced the anger in my heart a lot.
Seeing that I was not in a good mood, Peach Hong pushed my favorite snack in front of me, and then carefully peeked at me a few times, and said to herself: "It's really scared to death, there are dead people in the Shizi Mansion, and they are still killed." Mother, who did this? Chun'er, she is usually lazy at most, and she is by no means the kind of person who will offend people and lead to death. β
It is not uncommon for a few minions to die in the palace of the prime minister and the queen officials, which is not uncommon in this monarchical society. The so-called companion is like a tiger, if you are not careful, your head will move. But Tang Wu's murder incidents like this do not happen often, and there are many doubts and problems, and Chen Ruren is the key to this problem.
Duan Hong had a big fuss in the Chang family's Nuanxiang Pavilion before, and the bed carried out of the concubine's dormitory the next day immediately confirmed the rumors of discord between the prince and the princess. In fact, the rumors are true, I am indeed not in harmony with the son, and I am not afraid of others pointing fingers behind my back.
It's just that because of the previous incident, it's not good for me to talk to Duan Hong about this matter now, even if I take the initiative to say it, with Duan Hong's attitude towards the Chang family today, he won't listen, but will suspect that the Chang family has other plans.
I put my hands in my hair, not knowing what to do, so I had to say to Yingcui: "Go, give me a bowl of beef noodles, put more beef, not chopped green onions." β
One night, the beef noodles were eaten, and I felt that both my heart and my stomach were still empty, so I asked Yingcui to give me another bowl of beef noodles. The second bowl of beef noodles was in my stomach, and I felt that I was not full, so I asked for a third bowl. When I drank the third bowl of thick beef bone soup to the point that there was not a drop left, and was about to ask for another bowl, Peach Plop knelt on the ground, refused to let me eat any more, and hugged my thigh with a sad face: "Niangniang, the slave knows the bitterness in your heart, His Royal Highness the Prince will definitely change his mind in the future, so don't embarrass yourself anymore." β
I didn't eat a few bowls of beef noodles too much, why was it embarrassing for myself, and it also got to Duan Hong, which had something to do with him.
Yingcui silently put away the three empty bowls that I couldn't eat cleaner, then looked at me meaningfully, and then turned around and walked out.
I asked the inexplicable RosΓ© to stand up, but she didn't move, I glared at her, and she immediately stood up obediently.
"I know that whatever you two do, it's for my own good, so I treat you both as my own sisters. The relationship between me and Duan Hong, the son of the world, I decided to hand it over to God, everything is according to the will of God, I don't desperately refuse, I don't know how to take the initiative, let it be, and the two of you will not worry too much about this matter in the future. β
After Taohong heard these words, Nunu didn't say anything, just stood quietly beside me for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Niangniang, we will always be just people around you." β
I nodded, felt a little bloated, and went to bed. When I used to work in the police station, I would often go hungry and full, and sometimes I couldn't eat for a whole day, so I had stomach problems. But Chang's body, which seems to be weak, is very healthy, and even if she sleeps immediately after eating, she will not suffer from indigestion. Another day, she should really swallow two stones to see if she can digest her iron-beaten stomach.
I slept beautifully during the day, and I recuperated my spirit at night, since I couldn't tell Duan Hong about this matter, then I decided to investigate by myself, find evidence, get rid of the potential dangers in the Shizi Mansion, and protect the Chang family.
At midnight, in the dead of night in the Shizi's Mansion, it was pitch black, and I took advantage of the time when the watchman was resting in the room at this time, and quickly changed into the practice clothes that I had specially made when I exercised before, and secretly went out of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion. I'm going to check on Chen Ruren first, and then I'll go to the suspicious beggar to see if there are any clues.
I clinged to the wall, under the shade of the trees, behind the rocks, and quietly touched in the direction of the dormitory where Chen Ruren lived. When she arrived at her dormitory, she found that it was dark inside and outside the hall, and it seemed that she was already asleep. So I turned around and walked in the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, southeast of the Sekofu.
Along the way, there was no danger, and without encountering any night guards, I came to the courtyard where the chamberlains of the Ministry of Internal Affairs lived, and quietly touched the courtyard.
I had barely taken two steps into the courtyard when I heard a creak, and a door was pushed open on one side of the courtyard. I tried to dodge into the dark shadow in the corner, but suddenly a pair of arms reached out from the depths of the darkness, covered my mouth violently, and dragged me to the corner.
