Chapter Seventy-Eight: Clues
Sha Gu soon came to find Xiao Meng.
"Miss Xiao, you can go to the scene."
Xiao Meng followed Shagu to the place where Reed was killed.
The blood stained the ground, Xiao Meng held his breath and adjusted for a moment before entering without fear.
The house was a general furnishing, the body had been removed, and although the scene had not been cleaned up, many people had investigated and it was impossible to find any more clues.
However, Xiao Meng was still very careful in his examination.
Sha Gu was actually very puzzled, why Xiao Meng must insist on taking a look when he knew that it was useless.
Sha Gu felt that this was a complete waste of time. If it weren't for the young master's order for him to obey Xiao Meng's orders, he would not have bothered to pay attention to Xiao Meng's request.
After entering the scene for a while, Xiao Meng was still looking, and Sha Gu said, "What can be found here has already been discovered, Miss Xiao has seen it, please go back!" β
Xiao Meng knew that Sha Gu was very unhappy, but she didn't answer. Since you're here, you have to watch it all over.
From the threshold to the corner, to the bedside, and then to the bed, Xiao Meng looked for it by himself, and he didn't even let go of his hair.
Seeing that Xiao Meng ignored him, Sha Gu was slightly annoyed, "Miss Xiao, can she still see everything?" β
saw Xiao Meng suddenly pause, walked towards the corner of the wall, and squatted down, as if he had discovered something.
Sha Gu was stunned, could it be that he really found out?
Hurriedly followed, and saw Xiao Meng stretch out his right index finger and smack it on the ground, and then raised it in front of him.
Sha Gu looked at the ground, only dark gray solid soil and light dust, and nothing else.
Feeling naΓ―ve for a moment, Sha Gu asked jokingly, "What did Miss Xiao find?" β
Xiao Meng stared at the food and pointed at the god, but did not answer immediately.
Sha Gu looked at Xiao Meng's index finger curiously. There was nothing strange about the jade fingers being stained with a layer of ash.
It was a little inexplicable, and when Sha Gu was about to speak again, he saw Xiao Meng using the nail of his left index finger to wipe the dust on his right index finger.
As if there was something, Sha Gu stared closely, and in a moment he found that there was a silver bright spot in the dust that was not much bigger than the dust.
It's really small, so small that ordinary people can't even find it.
"What is this?"
Sha Gu didn't expect to be able to find something, not to mention whether this is an effective clue, just by being able to find this little sequins from thousands of dust, Sha Gu already admired Xiao Meng's eyesight.
Xiao Meng pursed his lips, stood up, and finally answered Sha Gu's words, "If I'm not mistaken, I saw this unique sequins not long ago!" β
Sha Gu was surprised, is it really a valid clue?
"Where have you seen it? What is it? β
Xiao Meng carefully took out a fine silk scarf and sealed the sequins, "I feel the need to go to see the young master once and tell him in person." β
Sha Gu became more and more suspicious, and without delay, he immediately took Xiao Meng to Tianyou Hall.
Although Reed's death has attracted attention, there is no clue at all.
The Gu family has not spread the news now, if it spreads, it will cause panic among many people who have not cultivated, and how many outsiders will discuss the Gu family's lax governance, and then the face will be lost.
If the real culprit can be found, it will be a great achievement.
In Tianyoutang, the head of the family and the young master are still arguing.
The young master proposed to deal with Yang Yue immediately and torture her to extract a confession, but the head of the family proceeded from the overall situation and did not want to make a big fuss.
"Father, you can't do that. Yang Yue may not just plan to kill Yuxun, Reed's death may also have something to do with her, father, how can you be so partial to her. β
"Not favoring her. It's just that if the young lady of the Gu family spreads this behavior, it will lose the face of the Gu family. It's better to take her as a concubine for other reasons and keep her under house arrest, even if it is a punishment. β
It was also the first time for Gu Shenrui to argue with Gu Qingling like this, if it weren't for Yang Yue's conclusive evidence, he wouldn't have been guilty of doing so.
First, there was the medicine bowl of the soul devouring cartilage, and then there was the note found on the dead man's body, plus Yang Yang had been to the lake, and the people who had seen it at the scene, only his cultivation was higher than Gu Qinghuan and Sha Gu, and it was suspected that he had secretly made a move.
The above three articles, coupled with Gu Yuxun's accusations before his amnesia, and Yang Yue's full motives and obvious benefits, are enough to convict Yang Yue.
It's just that the new young lady married by the Gu family is the murderer of the original young lady, so as to ascend to the throne, if this matter is spread, the outside world will only say that the Gu family is mediocre and does not know people, which leads to the reduction of the prestige of the Gu family, which is really unfavorable.
For the sake of the overall situation, Gu Shenrui did not agree with the continued interrogation.
As a result, the two fathers and sons argued.
At this time, Gu Shenrui's henchmen came to report, "The head of the family, Miss Xiao and Sha Gu ask to see." β
Outside Tianyou Hall, Yang Yang sat in the corner hall and waited anxiously.
Yang Yue came in a hurry and didn't go back, he came to ask to see him, but the head of the Gu family refused because he was busy, so he had to wait in the corner hall.
There was a soundproofing technique in the main hall, and he couldn't overhear it, and Bitong trembled from time to time with a teapot, which made him upset.
Yang Yang asked, "What are you shaking?" β
Bitong became more and more frightened, and whispered in a trembling voice, "Could it be, drugged, something, was discovered!" β
Yang Yang's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Take care of your mouth!" If you betray Yue'er at the critical moment, I can't spare you! β
Bitong trembled even more and hurriedly put the teapot down so that the teapot would not fall to the ground
After Yang Yang scolded Bitong, he raised his eyes and saw Xiao Meng in front of the main hall going up the steps to the main hall, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Miss Xiao!"
Xiao Meng was blocked by someone and looked up.
I saw a person standing coldly in front of him, with an ink robe, his facial features were hard, and his eyes were as sharp as wheat, making it easy for people not to look directly.
Xiao Meng met his gaze and asked indifferently, "This noble surname?" β
"Of course you don't remember me!" Yang Yang is not yin or yang, and said, "Why is Miss Xiao in a hurry?" β
Xiao Meng glanced at Bitong and shrunk to follow behind, and suddenly thought that this was Yang Yang, who had not seen his name for a long time.
Nine times out of ten, the murderer stood in front of him, Xiao Meng's heart was pounding with excitement, suppressing his hatred, knowing that it must be for Yang Yue's business, Xiao Meng directly refused.
"I don't want to accompany you!"
turned around and walked to the main hall, Yang Yang still wanted to stop him, but Sha Gu blocked it, and said politely, "Young Master Yang, the head of the family has something important to call Miss Xiao, and Yang Gongzi has something to say." β
Then followed Xiao Meng into the main hall.
Bitong followed, "It's because of her!" β
Yang Yang glanced at her coldly, and Bitong immediately stopped.
In the main hall, Gu Shenrui was very happy to let go of the matter of arguing, and he asked Xiao Meng, "What is the matter with you coming here?" β
Xiao Meng didn't say much, he directly took out the silk scarf and said, "Just now I went to the scene of Reed's death with Sha Gu, and I found a little interesting thing there." β
Gu Shenrui was slightly stunned, "What is it?" β
"A very small silver sequin, it should be a sequins embedded in the nail paint, if Xiao Meng is not mistaken, Xiao Meng has only seen it on one person's hand. This thing is very precious and rare, and it shouldn't be something that appears in a small room. β
"What?" Gu Shenrui and Gu Qingling were extremely surprised, and they came up and took the silk scarf in Xiao Meng's hand and examined it carefully.
After being amazed, I found someone to identify and ask carefully, and sure enough, the inlays on the nails were as expensive as gemstones, but they could only be used once, so there were few people in the entire Yingcheng who used them.
And in the Gu family, no one uses this, except for the guest who often visits the door.
The things on a guest's body appeared in the room of the head of the Gu family, and the scene of his death couldn't help but make people suspicious.
Not only that, Xiao Meng said, "Actually, when I took out the storage bag during the last debate test, this person named Reed was too surprised, and it already aroused my suspicions. β
