Chapter 115
Naturally, Youhe can't admit that he has killed someone.
Until Xie Yiying accompanied the eldest princess of Gaoyang to have breakfast, the housekeeper reported the news to the eldest princess.
The fourth man, cut off the bones and cut the flesh.
In just a few days, four people died, and the cause of death of each one could not be found. Xie Yiying still felt tired, let alone the eldest princess of Gaoyang.
She sat on the chair and stared at the butler for a while: "What's the use of me raising you." ”
The housekeeper immediately knelt down and knocked his head on the ground again: "It's the slave's fault, please forgive the princess." ”
"Auntie, this matter is so strange that it cannot be found out by one person. If my aunt agrees, please allow me to try the matter of Youhe, after all, she is the person I brought in. ”
Xie Yiying took the initiative to bring it up, on the one hand, to find out what this unbelievable sacrifice was, and on the other hand, naturally because she didn't believe in Youhe killing people.
Youhe and the deceased did not know each other, and how did a thin girl take a kitchen knife and cut off the limbs of the corpse one by one?
Since knowing that this matter involved the extermination of the Yi clan twenty years ago, the eldest princess of Gaoyang intentionally or unintentionally wanted Xie Yiying to stay away from this matter, but after all, it was her person who was suspected today, and if there was no other evidence, this girl would be executed.
Executing Xie Yiying's person, but not letting her participate in the investigation, naturally can't be justified.
The eldest princess of Gaoyang had to agree.
When Youhe was brought up, he had already changed into new clothes, but he was embarrassed, still like a little chicken soaked in a rainstorm.
"Youhe, are you sure you don't know the killed Wen'er?"
"The slave and maid really don't know," Youhe lay on the ground with her upper body, "The slave and maid obey the instructions of the imperial concubine, except for going to the kitchen, she has never been out of the courtyard where our family lives, which other people can testify, how can the slave and maid know that question." ”
"You said you went to the kitchen yesterday to check on the soaked beans and then lost consciousness?"
"Yes."
"Then tell me in detail about that night."
Youhe knelt down and sat up, thought for a while, and narrated: "At that time, just after the end of the year, the slave maid wanted to go to the kitchen to see how the beans used to prepare today's porridge were soaked, so she went to the kitchen. At that time, the kitchen was still lit, as if someone had just left, and it was not uncommon for someone to be there at that point, and no one answered after the slave and maid called a few times, but they didn't feel anything, probably who went out temporarily. After checking the beans, no one had returned, and the slave felt that she could not leave the kitchen empty, so she found a chair and sat down, wanting to wait for the others to come back, and waited...... I fell asleep. ”
"Asleep? Were you sleepy? ”
Speaking of this, Youhe also seemed to be puzzled, "No, the slave and maid won't be sleepy at that hour on weekdays, but last night somehow ...... Yes! She looked at Xie Yiying, "The slave drank a bowl of water on the table!" ”
"Who put that water there?"
"The slave maid doesn't know," Youhe was a little anxious, "but the water in the kitchen, and the bowl of the servant, is placed on the table that the slave and maid are used to, and there is no one left, but which cook lady put it there." And when I drank it at the time, there was no strange taste, it was just ordinary water. ”
Xie Yiying's expression remained unchanged, and it didn't matter whether he believed it or not, "After drinking the water, you were unconscious, and then you woke up this morning, in your house?" ”
"Yes. When the slave wakes up in the morning, her brain is dull, like ...... I slept for a long time at once, but I felt that someone pushed the slave maid, saying that the imperial concubine wanted to porridge with Sakura, and urged the slave and maid to do it. The slave and maid woke up. ”
Hearing that this story had her own role, Xie Yiying narrowed her eyes, "Do you remember, whose voice is that?" ”
Youhe thought about it very seriously, and then shook his head in frustration, "The slave doesn't remember." ”
"Go check if the bowl of water on the table is still there, and in addition, bring Chunzhu, who lives in the same room with Youhe, with you."
After a while, Gongfu Chunzhu came over, obviously having heard about the matter, and his eyes were a little timid.
"Meet the eldest princess, meet the princess." She knelt beside Youhe, and Xie Yiying noticed that the distance between her and Youhe was a little farther than normal.
"I called you to ask you about Youhe, when was the last time you saw her yesterday, and when did you see her today."
"The last time the slave saw Youhe last night was before she went to the kitchen, and she said she wanted to check the beans again, and then left."
"What time was that?"
"Hmm...... Approximately...... Let's do it. When the slave and maid went out to watch the night, she had not yet returned. The servant maid has been in the imperial concubine's room until this morning, when I heard about it...... Her thing. ”
"Anything else?"
Xie Yiying wanted to ask for more details, but Chunzhu's tears flowed out all of a sudden, and he suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed a few times: "The imperial concubine saw that it was definitely not Youhe who killed people, how could she kill people!" ”
Chunzhu's sudden appearance is a little strange, and the abnormality is a demon. This emphasizes that Youhe did not kill anyone, but it seems that she knew something, and she did kill evidence.
"Don't worry, we'll get things to the bottom of things, what else do you know? Tell us as much as you can. Otherwise, you also know that something is going on in the house now, and when the time comes, when we find out what you are hiding, will you be able to afford to be responsible? ”
Little girl, if you are scared, you will naturally say everything.
When the slave and maid were about to pass the child, they wanted to go back to the room and take the tricks, but as soon as they came out of the house, they saw the young lotus coming back, it was so late, the slave and the maid felt strange, so she called her a few times, but she didn't seem to hear it, and went straight in. The slave and maid were still in a hurry to go back, so they did not look at her again. It's just that I want to be like her now...... It's like I'm obsessed. ”
Youhe went to the kitchen and came back at the time, and the body was found at three o'clock in the morning, and the time was right.
At this time, the person who went to the kitchen to look for evidence also came back and reported: "There is no bowl in the kitchen. ”
Youhe pressed a qiē on the water in the bowl, and now when he heard that there was no bowl, he suddenly fell into despair: "But...... But the slave did drink the water......"
Xie Yiying no longer listened to her explanation, and only turned to Princess Gao Yang and said: "Auntie, now the physical evidence and human evidence have proved that Youhe has been to the deceased's house, but there are still some doubts, Youhe has never been acquainted with the deceased, let alone has a grudge, why do you want to kill her?" Even if they really gave birth to **** because of some things, Youhe held a grudge and killed people at night, how could she, a weak woman, cut off the joints of the deceased one by one? This method is so cruel that it is not an ordinary vendetta, but more like a deep hatred, or ...... As we speculated before, this is the fourth person in the sacrifice of the Yuyi tribe, Youhe has been in the prince's mansion since he was a child, and his father and mother are both from Beijing, and they have nothing to do with the Yuyi tribe. ”
"Auntie, Youhe kills people, it doesn't make sense."
"Oh? Then you don't think she killed it? ”
Xie Yiying looked at her and laughed helplessly: "I think there are only two explanations now, one is that she was indeed possessed by an unjust spirit, and the other is that she did drink the water in question." (To be continued.) )
