"No, I'm afraid this house is not clean." Who would have thought, Guo Chengsi categorically refused without thinking about it. In this era, the theory of ghosts and gods is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the vast majority of people are still in awe, and the nonsense of that mother-in-law has obviously made Guo Chenghei fall in love.

Zhong Ziyuan lowered her face, hesitated for a moment, and then she took out the peach wood carved aster hairpin from her sleeve, and said with a hint of shyness: "I carry this with me, whether it is an unjust ghost or a ghost, it can't get close to my body." ”

Zhong Ziyuan has received twenty-eight years of modern atheist education, so naturally there are not so many taboos, but she also knows that she can't change the thinking of people in this era. Fortunately, today, the ghost sent this peach hairpin to his body, so he simply used it to resist Guo Chenghe's mouth.

Sure enough, looking at this peach hairpin that exuded a dark red luster, Guo Chengsi's originally eagle-sharp eyes immediately softened, and the full tenderness almost overflowed. Zhong Ziyuan lowered his head and didn't dare to look, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you can follow!" ”

Zhu Fei covered his mouth and nose outside, and said in disgust: "What is so beautiful about the dead, then I won't go in!" With that, he lifted his robe and sat down on a chair under the porch. Guo Chengsi and Zhong Ziyuan looked at each other and smiled, and walked in together.

The corpse that had been inadvertently turned over by the maid was still lying stiffly on her back, her wide-open blood-red eyes staring at the top, and a few lines of dried black blood hung on her sallow and distorted face. The hand that was originally pinching his neck had slipped down and hung straight down the edge. You can see that there is indeed a circle of purple pinch marks on her slender and slender neck, and even the slender finger prints are clearly visible.

Guo Chengsi's brows furrowed deeply. Zhong Ziyuan suddenly pushed him and said, "Look at her hand." He subconsciously turned his gaze to the corpse's hanging hand. I saw that the silver-red cuffs embroidered with the Fu character pattern were slightly rolled up, and I could faintly see a green jade bracelet on her wrist. On the slender middle finger is a silver inlaid opal ring, and the dark green ring surface is refracted from time to time with a pattern of light like blue waves.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with her hands? Guo Chengsi asked puzzled.

Zhong Ziyuan reached out and touched the throat of the corpse, and through the sticky skin with a hint of coldness, she could feel the broken throat bone under the skin making a tooth-aching "cluck-cluck-" sound.

She pointed to one of the purple bruises on the corpse's throat and said, "Her throat bone is indeed crushed, and you can see the finger prints here, slender and slender, which look like women's handprints." Especially the little extra bruise here. The width was similar to the ring she was wearing. ”

Guo Chengsi took a closer look, as if he felt a little uncertain, and he simply took the ring off the corpse. Comparing it to the bruise between her throat, it was a complete overlap. He couldn't help but gasp: "Could it really be that she strangled herself to death?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan bit her lip and said quietly: "No one can strangle themselves to death by themselves." At most, after she was ruthless and knocked herself out, her hands would naturally relax. So no matter how you pinch. There's no way she's going to strangle herself. ”

After speaking. An indescribable coolness passed through the hearts of the two at the same time, and Zhong Ziyuan only felt that the cold hairs of the vest stood up. My heart is also numb, as if someone has gently swept it over with a brush.

She endured the discomfort in her heart, and looked at another corpse lying on her side, and sure enough, her hands were also tightly clasped around her neck. Zhong Ziyuan took some effort to break her hand, and after breaking it off, her hand was still stiff and half-nested.

Zhong Ziyuan originally just wanted to follow and watch the excitement, so the medicine box and everything were left in his carriage. was taken away by Fauber. With no tools in her hand, she could only take a cursory look at the corpse's appearance. He exited the room with Guo Chengsi.

The three of them went to the main room where Mrs. Zhang lived and took a closer look, the room was quite tidy and not as cluttered as in the pantry. The ink and blue and white curtains are half-covered and half-exposed, and you can faintly see the lotus lotus embroidered brocade quilt with acacia patterns on the bed. On the vermilion lacquer painted gold screen on the side, there is also a robe embroidered with roses in akazi, which Mrs. Zhang often wears at home. At a cursory glance, it seems that the owner of this room has only gone out temporarily, and will soon turn back to continue resting.

After taking a closer look, Guo Chengsi and Zhong Ziyuan came out of the house. After asking the subordinates of Zhang's Mansion to fetch two basins of water and wash their hands, Guo Chengsi asked, "Who was the first to find the body and Mrs. Zhang?" ”

Zhu Fei Nunu mouthed and said, "I asked, it's this little girl." ”

The little maid had evidently not recovered from the extreme impact, and she was on her knees trembling, her little face pale without a trace of blood.

Guo Chengsi patiently asked a few words, but unfortunately the maid's upside-down words did not help him at all. He had to wave his hand helplessly and let the girl take him down.

At this time, there was a chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard, Guo Chengsi and a few people looked over in surprise, and saw a young lady wearing a dark green cloak embroidered with gold edges embroidered with ink bamboo, combing a simple wishful bun, and a pearl lily hairpin obliquely inserted.

She is not very old, her figure is thin, but her temperament is very calm. As she walked, the cyan skirt fluttered like a lotus leaf between her ankles, looking extremely smart. The people of Zhang's mansion who were gathered outside shouted in a low voice: "It's the eldest lady." ”

This eldest lady is really more noble than that Zhang Gongzi in terms of identity, but unfortunately she usually lives in a simple place and hardly interacts with people outside the courtyard. No matter how you say it, she can be regarded as one of the veritable masters of this mansion. The people of Zhang's house, who were originally panicked, saw her as if they were seeing the backbone of the main heart, and their hearts were a lot more stable.

She entered the courtyard and bowed her knees to Guo Chengsi and Zhu Fei, and said, "I've seen Lord Guo, Zhu Shizi." ”

Guo Chengsi nodded and said, "Miss Zhang is polite, please get up." ”

Miss Zhang stood up, bit her lip, and said, "I didn't expect such a strange thing to happen in the house, please Lord Guo, Zhu Shizi must find her father first, the little woman is grateful." Guo Chengsi noticed that when she mentioned her father, her expression was indifferent, the corners of her mouth were downturned, and her eyes didn't even blink, and there was no trace of anxiety that a child should have.

Guo Chengsi was secretly surprised in his heart, but he didn't break it. But Zhu Fei said unceremoniously: "We also want to find them as soon as possible, so that we can go back to the business as soon as possible." It's a pity that Xue Ji and the others have been looking for so long, but they haven't sent any news yet. I don't know where they can hide? ”

I didn't expect such a big event to happen in Zhang's mansion, and the officials brought by Guo Chengsi were obviously not enough, but fortunately, Zhu Fei brought a lot of people. Therefore, it was temporarily requisitioned by Guo Chengsi and used as a servant.

Zhong Ziyuan frowned tightly and pondered: "I always feel that Zhang Shilang and Mrs. Zhang are still in this mansion and have not gone out. ”

Guo Chengsi secretly said in his heart: I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious to find it.

Duan Ling's heart moved, and he suddenly interjected and said: "The humble position should know the whereabouts of this squire" (to be continued......
