Chapter 181: The Willows and Flowers Are Bright
After branching out Jialan, I stood in front of the gate of Chengfu for a while, and the previous events passed by one after another, as if everything started here. Jialan, Biluo, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wei, Cheng Jing, Cheng Si...... A qiē ...... ten years ago
I sighed and finally turned around.
I didn't mean to see anyone, I just happened to get here. A carriage drove to the gate of Chengfu the moment I turned around, and I didn't care who the people in the carriage were, whether it was someone I knew, and left.
Seeing that it was approaching dusk, there were many fewer people on the streets.
Then all the doubts seemed to be solved the moment I stood in front of the restaurant again.
I stretched out my hand and pushed open the closed door, the restaurant was empty, and the backyard was already empty.
Why?
With a light flick of his palm, a touch of different color in his palm wiped off the heavy dust on the table. I turned and leaned back against the clean spot, calming down and pondering every detail.
That's right, ten years later, to investigate the matter of Mrs. Ruyi in the palace, it seems to return to the predicament of Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Li ten years ago.
It's that I'm too anxious, too self-righteous, and ignores other possibilities, and I think I'm thinking everything right, and others don't think of it. But it turned out that someone took advantage of this and set a trap for me step by step.
Using my suspicions, I was asked to determine what I suspected, but in fact, the truth and falsity of the facts were disguised by others.
I thought there was only one murderer.
I thought it would be enough to find out the murderer of Mrs. Ruyi's death.
But it turns out that when everything is mixed into interests, everyone may be the murderer in the first place!
For what you can get, for what you don't lose, for what you frame, for what you can fulfill...... The truth is changing, just because people's hearts are changing, everyone has the truth he wants to hide, everyone wants to hide themselves from this conspiracy, the world is helpless, but there are selfish desires, only hope that the truth of what they have suffered will be revealed, but they have become the perpetrators of others.
I'm starting to miss the peace of Shaoshan......
When I returned to the courtyard of the palace, it was already dark. I walked alone along the dark path, but stopped at the door...... For I could clearly see that there was a man standing in front of the stone table in the courtyard with his back to me.
Perhaps hearing my movements, Wonhyuk turned around.
"Why are you here?" After all, it's getting late, and I think he should be very busy now in place of their father, Wang Guo.
I inadvertently paid attention to the courtyard, and there was a strange feeling in my heart, Jialan and I were pressed for time, and Mrs. Meng had delayed some effort, she smashed a piece of the courtyard, and naturally it was too late to clean up and let us out.
And now it looks like everything has been packed up.
Except for the scar on the tree when she wielded a knife to cut the swing, there was nothing unusual in the courtyard.
When Wonhyuk saw me looking at the tree, he thought I was thinking about the swing. "That tree vine is not easy to find now, if it is broken, I will let people withdraw first, and I will also send people to find a new one, ...... in two days"
"No need. That swing wasn't mine, and I didn't like it that much. "The swings made of vines and rattans look even more out of place among the high walls of this palace," besides, I won't be staying here for long, and you really don't need to bother with my liking. ”
"Don't worry, no one will bother you in the future." Wonhyuk mistakenly thought that I was angry at Madame Meng for smashing my place.
"It's okay." And I don't care about this, "Actually, Mrs. Meng will come to me to make trouble, which is understandable." I lived in the palace for no reason, and I didn't explain our relationship to her clearly, because she cared about you, and she misunderstood, and came to trouble me, probably the normal reaction of every wife woman. ”
"Aren't you angry at all?" Wonhyuk asked cautiously.
I laughed, "When she first came to make trouble, she did get a little angry because she was unreasonable. I just went out and figured out a lot of things, so I felt that Mrs. Meng's affairs didn't care much about it. I hope you didn't get angry with her because of this matter, I hope to find an opportunity, you can explain to her in person, we are just friends, and I will stay to investigate this case because of Yun Chu. ”
"Let's not talk about it." Who knew that Yuan He deviated from the topic again, "Tell me about what you went out to check today, are you still smooth?" ”
When he just changed the topic, I was still a little surprised, but since he asked about what we investigated today, I also put down what I was talking about just now, and smiled lightly, "With the help of a dignified son, how can it not go well." ”
Yuan He was stunned, his face changed slightly, but he laughed at himself, "Sure enough, I still let you find out." ”
"How can you not find out? A qiē seems too deliberate, isn't it, are you still thinking that I was ten years ago? I wasn't embarrassed by him, so I didn't particularly care, "Why would you do that?" The restaurant that is going to be plated, that Boss Wu, who is it? ”
"Don't get me wrong." Yuan He hurriedly explained, he asked me to sit down first, and then sat on the other side of the stone table, "That restaurant is indeed Boss Wu's, and Boss Wu is indeed himself, he and my mother's wife, Mrs. Ruyi's palace, the chief manager Jia Da are indeed brothers." ”
"In that case, why didn't you sue me directly at first, but instead ...... "It's really hard for me to say the word trap, although he may not have intended to set a trap to frame me, but he played me, but I was still sensible, and I knew that some words were destined to hurt." What the hell is going on? ”
"Actually, the people I sent out to look for clues have already found out about Jia Dajia Er." Yuan Hyuk didn't particularly want to hide it, but he just saw that his face was embarrassed, as if he had something unspeakable.
"If what Boss Wu said to me was true, I think he probably thought he was hiding it properly, but he didn't know that someone already knew his identity." After all, he said that before getting Jia Da's last money, they lived in a three-bedroom house on the edge of the city, and it was only later that he changed his name and bought a place in the city to open a restaurant, Xu was at that time, he was recognized by people who came and went, and thought that he had hidden it well over the years, "I think, the person who told this secret just thought that Jia Da was still in the palace at first, and although he was curious about Jia Er's name change, he didn't think much about Jia Da's identity until the person you sent to track down the clues, Only then did someone tell me about these things. ”
"That's right, I didn't tell you in person at first, because I knew that I handed over this case to you to investigate in the hope that you could be fair and just, even if it was me, you would have some doubts, so you might as well let them recreate the scene at that time and let you ask for yourself." Wonhyuk did not deny the fact that he was hiding me, but calmly stated his motives in the first place.
I immediately understood why he had arranged for those people to play that play again. just said helplessly, "If you explain it at the beginning, maybe I will still consider it, just going around in such a big circle, aren't you afraid that I will be more suspicious when I know the truth?" ”
Won Hyuk was at ease, "But, how exactly did you find out?" ”
"It's very simple, the dust on the table is unnatural, and even if the store is really going to be discarded, it may indeed be a long time before anyone cleans it. But Boss Wu inadvertently said that there was a small courtyard at the back door of the restaurant, and their family lived there. At that time, I thought, since there are people living, it is impossible to let the restaurant in front of it accumulate so much dust, Xiao Er led us in to sit, the whole restaurant did not even have a clean stool, Xiao Er can shake the rag, is to remind us that it is very dirty here so no one comes, including the plate posted outside, in order to lead to what they are going to say next, because of the increase in the war and chaos in front of the people, so the restaurant can not continue. "When I returned to the restaurant, I sat at the table and assumed that I was everyone present at the time, starting from everyone's words and actions, and trying to find out what was wrong at that time," Jialan's reaction at the time was a little weird, so I wondered if Xiao Er would also be fake. ”
Because I noticed that when he noticed that the rag was dirty, he couldn't wipe the stool clean. He didn't go to find water or a new rag, but used his sleeves, trying to ask an ordinary person who does business and chores, would he be willing to use his still neat clothes to wipe the dirty stool? Perhaps, but this behavior was the opposite of his reaction when he first saw us, so I suspected that he wasn't the shopkeeper at all, because he didn't know where the other rags or water were.
When Boss Wu told about the past experience, it was originally a very secret thing, and he had concealed it for many years, but when he saw us, he seemed to be deliberately saying that he wanted to say those words. It's like reciting a confession, and it makes me wonder if he's ready to sue me for this. There is also the part where he was talking about getting married, saying that his wife was Xiao Er's aunt, and his reaction at that time was a little strange, but he instinctively wanted to tell us about the relationship between Xiao Er and him, but in a trance, his outstretched hand hesitated, as if he suddenly found that the people around him were different, so his hand was higher, and he could only pat Xiao Er's shoulder. Based on the posture he was sitting in at the time, it would have been a little awkward if he had planned to pat Xiao Er's shoulder from the beginning, because Xiao Er's shoulders were too high, and he needed to raise his arms to a very uncomfortable height.
Unless he didn't want to put his hand on Xiao Er's shoulder, but only reacted when he turned his head sideways, it was inconvenient to touch that person's head, or he couldn't reach it. From this, it can be inferred that there was indeed a second child in the store, who was also the son of her wife and sister, but it was definitely not the second child in the store today.
If he had wanted to touch Xiao Er's head, probably the original Xiao Er was much lower, and I remember that the tables and chairs in the store had marks left by mud and water, although they were covered with a layer of soil, I thought someone was cleaning them about three months ago. But what kind of person would wipe a table and stool with a dirty rag? Coupled with the initial height of Boss Wu's gestures at that time, I imagined that his nephew might have some congenital deficiencies, so his physical and intellectual development was somewhat delayed.
"I really didn't expect that the deliberately arranged for you was instead seen by you as flawed." Won Hyuk Road. "That's right, the people I sent out earlier found him, and he didn't cooperate much at first, but he had a nephew, who was the second child in the original restaurant, who was a fool. He felt very sorry for the nephew, and he was afraid that his nephew would be hurt, so he confessed it. And yesterday, when you entered the palace and I told you that this case was handed over to you for investigation, I thought that if I directly sued you about Boss Wu, you might be suspicious of my words because this matter was directly related to my mother, Mrs. Ruyi, so I thought of putting Boss Wu back for the time being, letting people replace the role of Xiao Er, and waiting for you to find the restaurant in person and ask him again. ”
"You are right, but why don't you believe me, maybe I will believe you." That would save you a lot of trouble.
"Will you believe me?" Wonhyuk asked.
"Can I trust you?" I asked him rhetorically.
Yuan Hyuk probably didn't expect me to ask like this, so he was a little surprised to see his reaction for a while, he just smiled awkwardly, and then thought seriously for a while before sighing and saying, "Yes." I promise you that I will not hide anything from you. ”
"Well, if you find anything else, you might as well sue me directly, and save me more time on useless things." I think since he promised, there should be nothing to doubt, but seeing that he is so serious, I think it is really impossible for him to lie to me.
After Yuan Hyuk heard me say this, he seemed to be very surprised, and his reaction was a little late, before he said, "Well, since you said so, then I will sue you, as for whether you believe it or not, and how much you believe, you can ......check it later."
"When the body of Chief Manager Jia was found in the river, although the palace tried to block the news as much as possible to prevent it from spreading. But there are still a few people who know, because two days after the death of my mother, Mrs. Ruyi, Mr. Jia had an accident. This incident caused a lot of turmoil in the palace, and later the former subordinates in her palace disappeared one after another, which caused even more panic. The first time I knew of these things was when I was four years old, and my mother was killed a few days after I was born, so my father gave me over to other ladies in the palace to raise me, and it was my nurse who told me about it, and she hanged herself in her room the next morning. ”
"Because she knows that if she doesn't tell something, my mother may be wronged for the rest of her life, maybe she sued me for me, but she is afraid of offending someone."
"You started to suspect Mrs. Qimo from that time." I told him what was on his mind.
If it is said that the person in this palace who may be feared is probably Mrs. Qimo, who has the highest status at that time, Yuan He will doubt her, which is not surprising at all. And he kept these things in his heart for sixteen years, during which he had to pretend not to know in the face of Mrs. Qimo, no wonder he began to strictly investigate the things of the year when he gained a little power.
