Chapter XVIII
However, after all, now he is still under the jurisdiction of the Lin County Order, and now he is acting like this, so that Pei Yuan, who is the inspector of the imperial history, will see it in his eyes, how will he feel?
Do you feel that you are not strict?
Thinking of this, Lin Xian Ling took a deep look at Lu Jinyan and secretly made a note of him.
Lu Jinyan never expected that he was just clearing his throat and offended his top boss.
Lin Xian Ling bowed his hand to Pei Yuan and said, "Please ask Pei Yushi to ask." ”
Pei Yuan is not such a restrained person, and he also wants to see whether Lu Qinghuan's ability to defend his innocence is true, so he raised the corners of his lips, showed a kind smile, and said to Lu Qinghuan: "If the lady has any questions, just ask." ”
Lu Qinghuan glanced at him, not pretentious, and continued to ask Helan Xuanyi, "I wonder when the deceased died last night?" What was the cause of death? ”
Helan Xuanyi arched his hand towards Pei Yuan and Lin Xian Ling, and slowly said the autopsy results in a cold tone: "The deceased's daughter, about twenty years old, died between yesterday's unitary hour and Wu hour, and suffered beatings in many places on her body, according to the scars, most of them were formed by bamboo branch whipping. The face was also damaged by someone with a sharpened bamboo branch, and the wound turned outward, and the bleeding was profuse, which was committed before his death. The cause of death was due to the penetration of a bamboo branch about one and a third inches in diameter on the anterior chest. ”
The time of death, which is forgotten, just proves Lu Qinghuan's innocence, she was still in the courtyard at this time yesterday, and Pei Yuan and Lu Jinyan were there, even if Lin County ordered her to be a scapegoat, it was impossible.
Sure enough, after listening to the results of the autopsy, Pei Yuan ordered Lin County: "I only left from the Sacred Heart Nunnery last night, and I have seen Lu Niangzi, presumably she lacks skills and will not appear in the bamboo forest to kill people." ”
"Yes, yes......" Lin Xian Ling didn't expect Pei Yuan to personally prove Lu Qinghuan's innocence, so he was so frightened that he sweated profusely, and said yes again and again.
"Now that the corpse has been experienced, I wonder where the presiding officer of the Sacred Heart Nunnery is?"
"The host went to Linxian a few days ago, and he was not in the nunnery, and the eldest disciple is currently in charge of the affairs of the nunnery." Yesterday, Lu Qinghuan also asked about the whereabouts of the host, so Lin County ordered someone to ask, if it weren't for that, Pei Yuan would ask at this time, and he wouldn't know anything!
"Forget the dust?" Pei Yuan groaned: "I heard that the person who reported the case yesterday is this sister-in-law named Wuchen?" ”
"Exactly! Yesterday, Wangchen came to report the case early in the morning, saying that the sister-in-law of the Sacred Heart Nunnery was missing, and said that the sister-in-law had a dispute with someone and might be killed, but she didn't expect to be really hit by her. ”
After listening to Lin County's words, Pei Yuan and Lu Qinghuan's faces were a little ugly, and they all asked, "Isn't Lin County's order strange?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone around them fell on the two of them.
Lin Xianling shook his head very embarrassedly: "Xia Guan saw that she was weak and a monk, how could he doubt her?" ”
"Confused!" Again, in unison.
Lu Qinghuan couldn't help biting his lip, glared at Pei Yuan, who had the intention of catching narrowness in his eyes, turned around, and simply looked away, but in the end, he was still concerned about the case, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the conversation between Pei Yuan and Lin Xianling.
"And who found the dead today?"
"This ...... Xia Guan didn't know ......, "Rao is cold, Lin Xianling's sweat has never stopped, he came later than Pei Yuan, and he didn't carefully ask the tolerances below, where do you know so much about the situation." Seeing Pei Yuan staring at him without saying a word, he couldn't help but sigh secretly that this time his job was difficult to protect!
At this moment, Liu Ming, who was waiting on the side early, replied: "It's a nun named Forget Ruo." ”
"Where are the people?"
"Back to Pei Yushi, the nun named Forget Ruo has fainted because she was frightened."
Forgetfulness again?
Yesterday, Wang Erniu said that Forget Ruo and Forget Xin are in the same room, so there is no alibi, and now she is the first to discover Forget the Vulgar, will these two cases be related to her?
Yesterday, I forgot the vulgar and left the Sacred Heart Nunnery in a hurry, who did I want to see? Why didn't the worries who went out with her have an accident, but it was her? Could it be that the person she wants to see is the murderer?
A series of questions quickly appeared in Lu Qinghuan's mind, she touched her smooth chin, and her brows tightened.
"I don't know if Liu is tolerant, how can you tell that this dead person is forgetful? Why did she come here? ”
"Forget if you come here to chop wood, and she recognizes Forget Vulgar because there is a red mole behind Forget Vulgar's ear."
Although Liu Ming looks wooden, his mind is still thoughtful, he has already made some inquiries about Lu Qinghuan's question, and the answer at this time is like a stream, which is very different from the unclear situation of the Lin County Order.
A timid person who can faint at the sight of a corpse can still carefully observe the red mole behind the ear of the corpse, it seems that this forgetfulness is not as simple as it seems.
Although she thought so, Lu Qinghuan didn't say the guess in her heart, she also wanted to see if this Pei Yushi was such a shrewd person on the surface.
But apparently Pei Yuan didn't dwell on this issue, and instead asked about other situations, trying to find out the entry point of these two cases.
Lu Qinghuan did not follow, but walked to Helan Xuanyi's side, and saw him standing silently next to the corpse, his expression was indifferent, and the robe on his body was stirred by the mountain wind in the bamboo forest, looking fluttering like an immortal, like an immortal.
"Helan Divine Doctor!"
Hearing the voice, Helan Xuanyi turned his eyes and fell on Lu Qinghuan's face, and only after a long time did he speak: "Just call me Helan." ”
"Okay, Helan Divine Doctor......" Lu Qinghuan nodded, and then smiled: "I wonder if Helan has ever tested that silver hairpin?" ”
"Yes, I have tested. It is indeed consistent with the wound of the deceased, and there is no doubt that it is a murder weapon. ”
"I found that part of the blood stains on this silver hairpin had been erased, it seems that the murderer wanted to clean up the dried blood stains on it at that time, what does Helan think?"
Helan Xuanyi nodded, took out the hairpin and handed it to Lu Qinghuan, "That's true, there are indeed traces of being wiped on it, and it didn't wash away all the blood stains when it fell into the water, presumably the blood stains on it had dried up at that time." ”
Hearing this, Lu Qinghuan pondered, it seems that her guess is not unreasonable, this silver hairpin was not deliberately thrown away by the murderer, if it was to frame herself, why not leave the hairpin at the scene of the crime, after the murderer killed someone, he must have wanted to wash the hairpin, but because the water's edge was slippery, the murderer did not fall the silver hairpin into the water, but because it was dark and could not be seen clearly, there was no way to pick it up immediately, which was discovered by Lu Qinghuan.
Thinking about it this way, this hairpin must have a certain meaning for the murderer.
As soon as Lu Qinghuan figured it out, he immediately found Liu Ming, handed him the silver hairpin, and instructed him carefully, and when he saw him leave clearly, he was relieved.
As long as the owner of the hairpin is clarified, the identity of the murderer will be revealed.
It's been more than twenty hours since the rosary disappeared, and if the killer can't be caught and found her, the chances of her survival will only get smaller and smaller.
