Chapter VIII Affiliated Households
"When we entered, the door was locked from the inside, and you were the only one in the room, could the murderer be invisible? Look at the bloodstains on your body, if you say that the murderer is someone else, no one will be convinced. ”
Hearing this, Lu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Where is the window?" ”
After asking, she regretted a little, there are still two kinds of windows in this era, one of which is fixed and cannot be opened, and the other can be opened, which can only be built in the palace and in the homes of the nobles.
Such a small nunnery, of course, uses the former, so her question seems very redundant.
However, Lin Xianling did not directly refute her, but in order to make her die, he immediately sent someone to check all the windows in the room, and when the tolerance all replied that the windows had no traces of loosening, he glanced at Lu Qinghuan with great disdain, and asked coldly: "Did you hear that?" ”
"Even if the windows were tightly closed, the door would be easy to tie from the outside, and you can't conclude that the dead man must have been killed by me."
Lin Xian Ling groaned slightly, and some yellowed eyes turned around a few times, as if looking for words to refute Lu Qinghuan's words.
Just before he could speak, someone in the crowd on the side shouted: "You must have killed Forget Xin, if it weren't for you, how could you be the only one here?" ”
"Yes, it's definitely you!"
"You madman, you must have a grudge against her, so you will kill her!"
The nuns are like lit firecrackers, you exploded the pot with a word, and they were noisy, provoking Lin County Ling to stomp his feet fiercely: "Shut up to the official, Hugh is noisy," After speaking, he pointed to a nun at the door and asked: "What do you know, say it and let the official know." ”
Lu Qinghuan knew that nun, who was bullying herself with Forget Xin, named Forget Worry, there were several sisters-in-law standing next to her, blocking the door tightly, and looking at Lu Qinghuan with a sense of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Forget worry has always been spicy, listened to Lin County's words, and said busily: "Forget Xin once quarreled with Lu Niangzi, forget Xin must have been killed by her!" ”
"Did you hear that? Even the nuns here have identified you as the one you killed, what else do you have to say? Lin Xian Ling touched his goatee, glanced at Lu Qinghuan, raised his hand and waved, "Come on, since the prisoner has been caught, bring me back to the yamen for a good trial!" ”
No, looking at the appearance of this county order, it doesn't look like a clean official, and when he enters the yamen, he doesn't know if he has come out!
"The county order, my son is really wronged!" Lu Qinghuan was pressed by two people and walked out, and when he passed by Lin County's order, he didn't care much, and approached him and whispered: "Son is Cui Shangshu's niece, ask the county order to let Er clarify the misunderstanding!" ”
Sure enough, when Lin Xianling heard Lu Qinghuan mention Cui Shangshu, the expression on his face fluctuated slightly, his eyes rolled slightly, glanced at the people watching around, and then glanced at him.
Lu Qinghuan was taken out of the South Courtyard by tolerance, but he did not go to the county office, but was taken to a remote corridor outside the South Courtyard.
"Little lady, what did you just say about Cui Yi Cui Shangshu?"
Lu Qinghuan nodded hurriedly.
Although she doesn't like to go through relationships, she also has to admit how important it is to have relationships sometimes. Although Cui's didn't recognize her mother back then, Cui Yi's uncle once came to see them, which shows that they have not completely severed contact with each other.
This matter must be known to Lin County, who is the head of a county. Lifting Cui Yi out at this time is simply her life talisman.
"In this way, isn't Master Lu Lingzun?"
Lu Qinghuan nodded, he was very displeased with Aye, who was the chief bookkeeper, but at this moment, he had to admit it truthfully, and silently hoped that this cheap father had not offended the county magistrate.
"Er is not a murderer, but is framed, if the county order is willing to give Er a chance to prove it, Er guarantees that the murderer can be caught!"
Lin Xianling frowned, and paced a few steps in the corridor with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about whether to listen to Lu Qinghuan's words.
"You must know that now you are the most suspicious, and there is even a great possibility that the nun was killed by you, if I let you go for personal gain, as long as someone sues me," the county order waved his fists with both hands and made a gesture to wipe his neck, "That is to dismiss and investigate!" ”
Lu Qinghuan knew that it would definitely not be so easy to let him go, so he hurriedly said: "Don't ask the county order to let him go, as long as you let your child take a good look at the scene and give your son a few days, your son will definitely prove his innocence!" ”
Seeing that Lin County Commander was still hesitating, Lu Qinghuan hurriedly added: "If you can't find out that the murderer is someone else, your son will be Fu Fa, and presumably my uncle will never blame the county order for this!" ”
With Lu Qinghuan's words, Lin Xianling nodded hesitantly, in his heart, of course, he felt that the person was killed by Lu Qinghuan, but if the case was hastily closed, and he was worried that Cui Shangshu would blame him, her promise was just a few more days.
"Okay, the official will give you three days, if you can't prove your innocence within three days, then the official has no choice but to do business." Lin Xian Ling raised his chin at a man in the corridor again, and said, "Liu Ming, you have followed Lu Niangzi in the past few days to protect her safety." ”
"Yes."
That Liu Mingchang has a square face and wide lips, and at first glance, he knows that he is a mellow and honest person, but his eyebrows are a little too thick, which shows that he is very stubborn, but he didn't expect the county order to look mediocre, but his vision is still good, and he actually sent such a person to look at him, and he didn't have to worry about him letting her go for personal gain.
Although it is inconvenient for her to solve the case with a tail, she has no time to worry about these at this time, she has to take advantage of the fact that the scene is not destroyed to see if there are any clues.
Lu Qinghuan, accompanied by Liu Ming, returned to the scene of the crime.
Lin Xianling promised to let her check the scene by herself, so she drove all the tolerances of the scene to the outside of the courtyard to guard, not letting people approach, and only waited for the servant to come and examine the body.
She walked slowly into the room from the courtyard, and the first thing that caught her eye was a large pool of dark red blood, and the corpse of a woman lying on the blood.
This is the nun named Forgotten Sin.
Lu Qinghuan still remembers that she was sweeping the leaves in the courtyard yesterday morning, and this forgetfulness also laughed at her, but now her face is ruined, and if someone hadn't called out her name before, she wouldn't have recognized her at all.
She circled around the blood stained on the floor, then crouched down to examine Forgotten Guilt's body.
Although in the past, there were forensic doctors to help check the corpses when cases were solved, but based on the backward technology of this era, she did not dare to pin her hope for life on the unfamiliar man.
