"When I got to the bend in front of me, the lady surnamed Du asked me to stop the carriage, and I got out of the carriage and turned back to look for it, and the place where the woman was lying was actually ...... There was only a pool of blood left, and the woman was gone! ”

"Gone? Right there, isn't it? Stop, let's go down and have a look. Ou Zhengxue and the little prince glanced at each other, and they both felt that something was wrong.

After listening to the carriage and looking at it, the little prince said suspiciously: "There are wild grasslands on both sides of this road, and the nearest mountain forest should be about 100 meters. How can a wounded person disappear so quickly? ”

"The little old man is also puzzled." The coachman scratched his head, looking like he was a ghost.

Ou Zhengxue squatted down, looked at the dry red bloodstain, frowned, she thought for a while and asked, "Do you remember how the woman was dressed?" ”

"It's not blue or green, the little old man has a little impression." The coachman said.

Ou Zhengxue showed an expression of epiphany on his face, waved at the two, and said, "Get in the car!" ”

The little prince shrugged his shoulders, I don't know why, if I can't figure it out, forget it, it's important to chase Xiao Wu.

He followed Ou Zhengxue into the car, and the little prince threw a few pieces of broken silver to the coachman, and beat the horse and whipped all the way, and the car soon reached the bottom of the cliff.

The two hurried up the mountain, and when they reached the edge of the cliff, there was no one. In the place where Du Niangzi fell, there were a few pieces of paper money that had not yet been burned.

Ou Zhengxue doubled the unburned paper money twice, and sighed: "I have a little conscience, and I know how to send money to her mother." walk

and take a look at the woods in front. ”

The two of them approached the woods, and after walking for a while, they heard the sound of rustling.

The two gestured to each other and moved closer to the voice. The two hid behind the big tree and looked at the sound, only to see that on the big tree not far away, there was a woman in blue clothes, climbing down, four or five meters from the ground.

This woman is Xiao Wu!

"I'm going to ask, what is this little girl doing climbing up the tree? Something must be wonderful! I'm going to scare her. When she is nervous, she must tell the truth. The little prince lowered his voice and walked out quietly.

Ou Zhengxue grabbed him and whispered, "Wait!" ”

The little prince glanced at Ou Zhengxue inexplicably and asked, "Why don't you strike while the iron is hot?" ”

"She climbed this big tree alone, this tree is not the highest in the forest, so it is not a lookout, and it is not a fruit tree, so it is not picking fruit, you see, there is a tree hole in the big tree, presumably she is taking something, or putting something, that means that she may not be the only one in this forest at this time, maybe there are other people in this forest, and as soon as you appear, that person, little prince, will definitely be frightened, and it may not be necessary to run away." Ou Zhengxue pulled him back and motioned for him to continue looking out.

Although the little prince said unwillingly: "The person who took the things may arrive in a few hours, and if he puts the things, maybe the people will leave early." But he still quieted down, he knew in his heart that such a thing can only be believed in whether it is there or not, and it is better to be careful.

At this time, Xiao Wu came down to the tree, reached out to the broken one and touched it, as if he was afraid that something would fall, and at this moment he showed a relieved smile on his face.

It was also this little girl's bad luck that she came over at this time and actually passed by this Ou Zhengxue and the little prince.

was covered by Ou Zhengxue and dragged behind the tree.

Xiao Wu was so frightened that he trembled, but he couldn't scream. Later, I saw that it was Ou Zhengxue, and I felt a little relieved. But his face is also very pale, and his eyes are wide, which shows that his heart is still full of fear.

Ou Zhengxue motioned to her not to shout, and waited for her to calm down before letting go of her hand. Coldly, he whispered, "Take it out!" ”

Xiao Wu was surrounded by two people in the middle, leaning against the big tree with his back, clenching his teeth and refusing to speak.

The little prince pressed his waist, snapped, and pulled out a soft sword, the cold blade faintly glowed with bloodthirsty red light in the sun, reaching Xiao Wu's throat, he smiled evilly, and said in a low voice: "This king's flame fox sword, I haven't seen blood yet, why do you want to feed it?" I think you're greedy for money and kill the master, and you don't recruit it from the truth!! ”

Xiao Wu was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he begged in a low voice: "The maid is wronged, the maid is wronged, the hero spares his life!" It's a person who asked the little girl to send something here before dark. ”

Ou Zhengxue was amused by this little girl, is it true that whoever brings a sword can also be a hero? This powerless appearance intimidates weak women, where is the chivalrous demeanor?

Ou Zhengxue motioned for her to be quiet, and she quickly shut up.

The little prince had an idea at this time, and said with a little sword: "Don't talk nonsense, pull up the two sleeves up, and let this king see your arm!" ”

Xiao Wu was helpless and pulled up the two cuffs up. I saw that there was indeed a red scar on this arm!

"And deny! There are dander and blood marks in the nails of this Du Xiangru corpse, which shows that she tore with you before her death, but you ignored the friendship between master and servant, pushed her off the cliff, and caused her to die a tragic death, and her crime should be punished! Still want to deny it? ”

Ou Zhengxue looked at the injury on Xiao Wu's arm and said, "Sure enough, Xiao Wu is not a murderer." The little prince is a little restless, we have to be careful, if we are lucky, the case will soon be settled. ”

"Why is she not a murderer, one has a motive, and the other has physical evidence!" The little prince was very puzzled.

Ou Zhengxue grabbed Xiao Wu's arm and said: "Little Wangye, please see, the wound on this Xiao Wu's arm is wide, blurry, and very shallow, some of it is scabbed, and some of it is covered with blood, it can be seen that it was scratched when going up and down the tree, if it was scratched by a fingernail, it was a few clear red marks, deep and bloody, looking at the scars, Xiao Wu must not be the real murderer." Ou Zhengxue said.

At this moment, Xiao Wu burst into tears and was grateful, as if he had gone away from the ghost gate.

"Thank you lady, you cleared the charge for the maid, that Gao Langjun shouted that my lady died unjustly, and now he is insane, I am the most suspicious, the maid Actually, in fact, I just wanted to go to Ou Niangzi before you went out to vomit in your Jiaxin Building, but ...... But ......" Xiao Wu lowered his head and sobbed.

"Come one by one, don't cry." Ou Zhengxue said.

"I'm afraid that I told the truth, in case you don't believe Ou Niangzi, it will make me even more suspicious. Xiao Wu received a burden ten days ago, and inside was-" Xiao Wu took out a handkerchief from his bosom and opened it, it was a jade pendant that was broken in half. Half is white and clear, and half is a little dull yellow. It can be seen that it has been broken for a long time and has not been preserved in one place.

"This is ......" Ou Zhengxue and Xiao Wang Ye were stunned.

"This half of the jade pendant was left to me by my mother when I was a child in order to recognize each other in the future. There was a letter in the baggage, asking me to bring my wife to this cliff, and said that I wanted to know the information of my family, so I would look for the tree hole by the cliff alone, and there was what I wanted. Xiao Wu cried lowly.

Then she said: "I was thinking about reuniting with my family as soon as possible, and it happened that there was a legend that there was fairy grass on the cliff at that time, so I ...... I persuaded the young lady to come, and when I heard the lady's exclamation that day, I ...... I'm still in the tree, waiting for me to come down from the tree and run over, the lady she has already ......" Xiao Wu burst into tears at this time, and cried again.
