Chapter 60: Shi Shumei
Shi Qingqing did not follow the fifth lady to the Lan Palace, which was used to entertain guests on weekdays, but went directly to Shi Shumei's room.
The door was closed, and Shi Qingqing pushed it directly with both hands, and Shi Qingqing was very polite to this, because she didn't use her feet.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it is not ordinary, the fifth lady came forward with a grinning waist swing, "Emperor Ji, although you are the emperor, but now you are in the master's mansion, you are also the daughter of the master family, so treat your aunt and sister like this, and the reputation will not be good, right?" ”
Emperor Ji ignored her, and Yun Zhi stretched out his arm and isolated the fifth lady from the division.
Shi Shumei woke up at this time, rubbed her dizzy eye circles, and asked in a dumb voice, "Mother, who are they?" Why come to my room? ”
Yun Zhinian is a master after all, although she doesn't know what Shi Qingqing wants, but she still explained the general for her, "Fifth Miss is bothered, Di Ji is investigating the case now." ”
"What are you doing in my room? Where is there any case to check here, you hurry up and let me out, you dare to trespass on the lady's boudoir, what crime should you be guilty of? Be careful, I'm gouging out your eyes. Shi Shumei had the air to get up, and she didn't even see the person who answered on the other side, and said: "Shi Qingqing, I know that if the smoke dies, you are uncomfortable, and the people in the house are not accommodating you, what kind of wild are you running to my room...... Mother, don't pull me, let me finish......"
Shi Qingqing took advantage of Yun Zhi to stop the fifth lady and turned around directly to Shi Shumei's dresser, one of the boxes was exactly the same as the one he saw when he was in Ming Cuixuan.
Shi Qingqing picked it up gently, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Sure enough, the smell is not bad in the slightest.
"Shi Qingqing, what are you doing in my room with such fanfare? What do you want as the emperor, and come to get my fat powder? Don't be afraid of people laughing when you say it. Shi Shumei naturally saw Shi Qingqing's movements from under Yun Zhi's hand, and couldn't help but sneer.
"If you really like it, take it quickly, I'm going to make up, you guys get out of here."
Shi Qingqing closed the lid again, walked to Shi Shumei's bed, and asked. "This incense powder was obtained by you from Ming Cuixuan?"
"It's nature. There is an engraved mark of Ming Cuixuan above, don't you recognize? ”
Shi Qingqing flipped the incense powder box over, and there was indeed an engraved sign of Ming Cuixuan, and said slowly: "Have you ever been out of the city yesterday?" ”
"No, why do you ask?" Shi Shumei was shocked by Shi Qingqing's sudden words. The fifth lady reacted immediately. "Yesterday, Mei'er and I have been in the house and have never been out of the city. Even the mansion has not yet come out, Emperor, you don't have to listen to slander. All the people in the house can testify for me and Mei'er. ”
"The sun was so poisonous yesterday, what am I going to do when I go out of the city, Shi Qingqing, you ......"
"Mei'er, Hugh has to talk nonsense." The fifth lady knew that Shi Qingqing felt that Shi Shumei was suspected of killing Ruoyan, although she didn't know where she judged it, but she must be suspicious, this matter is not trivial, whoever is involved will get into trouble even if it is fine.
Where would her daughter be suspected by Shi Qingqing, "Emperor Ji, Mei'er is young, maybe she didn't sleep well last night to make it so, and I hope Emperor Ji is not strange." ”
Shi Qingqing didn't answer, just looked at Shi Shumei, her eyelids drooped slightly, covering the essence of exploration, Shi Shumei was inexplicably looked at by this look, and shrank into the arms of the fifth lady, "What are you doing looking at me like this." ”
The people in this room probably know why Shi Qingqing came from, only Shi Shumei doesn't seem to know.
I don't know if it's pretending not to know.
Shi Qingqing looked at her for a long time, and then turned to leave, leaving a room of people relieved, and some hurriedly went to Luomei Garden to report to the eldest lady who came back.
In the verandah, Yun Zhi followed behind Shi Qingqing, who didn't seem to have the slightest doubt about her actions, and his face was as usual.
But Shi Qingqing was a little confused and asked, "Yunzhi, you said that if a person knows that others know that she is a murderer, can she be so calm and ordinary?" ”
"Maybe someone will be like this, but it may have to be people who have seen all the things in the world and have their own gaps in their hearts, but these people often disdain to be murderers, and those who are murderers will show their feet, small or large, just waiting for careful inspection."
"Yes, you're right." Shi Shumei is not like a murderer, the murderer can't admit it as calmly as she does, and keep the evidence for others to investigate.
Of course, it is undeniable that perhaps her sword is off the rails.
"Is Xin'er back?" Shi Qingqing asked.
"Maybe not, but it's time for the eldest prince to come back." Yunzhi replied indifferently.
Shi Qingqing then remembered that Yunzhi had been following him and had never left, she must not know if Xin'er came back, but how did she know about it?
Yun Zhi seemed to look at her doubts, bowed down and said: "Xiang Ye let his subordinates stay by the emperor's side, naturally it will not be just the safety of the nurse Qingqing, the subordinates have more or less understanding of this case, this is the first trial after the emperor Ji came out, Xiang Ye will not let the emperor return in vain." ”
Shi Qingqing nodded, although she didn't put Ruoyan's death in Yunzhi's eyes, what she cared about was Shi Qingqing's identity surnamed Shi, and she couldn't afford to lose, but at least her purpose to help her was to solve the case and find the murderer, so she didn't reject it, and it was also because of these words that she knew that maybe there were many people in the imperial capital who were waiting to see her jokes.
The two returned to Qingyuan, and saw that Jingyi was indeed waiting, and there was Qiutong on the side.
Shi Qingqing stepped forward quickly and asked, "How?" ”
In the past two days, Tong's busy feet did not touch the ground, and his cheekbones became more and more distinct, but his eyes were still bright, he saw Shi Qingqing coming, and he was busy with a salute, but was stopped by Shi Qingqing, "At this time, you don't need to pay attention to these false courtesies." ”
"Yes, today I searched the entire mountain in the Dumen Academy, and in the end, the emperor deserves someone, and we found this." After speaking, he took out a piece of silk silk from his sleeve, the thickness was not comfortable, and it was a piece of fabric for men's clothes.
"After discussing with Jing Gongzi, I concluded that it must be that Miss Ruoyan bumped into a person she knew well and met with a man, so she was killed, otherwise, if Miss Ruoyan's figure was a woman, the murderer would not have pushed her down the mountain so lightly."
"Yes, there must be two or more murderers, I looked at the thing you asked your handmaid to send, and I saw that there was a ...... in the list."
Jing Yi looked at Shi Qingqing with some doubts, Shi Qingqing naturally knew what she was talking about, "I just tested her, it doesn't seem to be." ”
"Well, trust your own judgment for a moment, but don't forget that there are exceptions to everything, and some people are always good at disguise." Jing Yi frowned slightly, and did not refute Shi Qingqing's words, but only made a point.
Shi Qingqing couldn't convince others to believe in a nihilistic intuition, so he had to nod.
"Lord Qiu, although it is now confirmed that there are two murderers, but it is only through guò incense powder and silk silk, and there are too few clues, I don't know how the adults plan to continue?" Shi Qingqing turned his head and asked.
Qiu Tong lowered his head slightly and groaned for a while, and said firmly: "Although there is little evidence, there are actually not many people who can commit crimes, and with this list, I think time will make people show their feet." ”
At this time, Jing Yi suddenly said: "Is it possible that the murderer went to Ming Cuixuan in someone else's name?" ”
Shi Qingqing's mind suddenly cleared, as if he had grasped something to look at carefully, but found that it was empty, and he always felt as if something was missing.
"What do you remember, Emperor?" In the autumn, Tong saw Shi Qingqing's appearance and thought that he was thinking of some useful clues.
Shi Qingqing shook his head, the thing that flashed by Fang Cai was too fast to grasp at all, "It's not impossible for Jingyi to say, it's better to start with Ruoyan first, focus on the people on that list first, I'll go to Liu's Mansion later and ask Ruoyan if he has interacted with people we don't know on weekdays, if there is anything suspicious, besides, I haven't officially visited Ruoyan." ”
"That's fine, I'm tired of the emperor, then let's continue to act separately!"
"Qing'er, shall I go with you?" Jingyi was a little relieved.
Shi Qingqing smiled lightly when he heard this, "Don't worry, I won't fall now, you also worked very hard yesterday and went out early in the morning today, go back to rest first, if there is something I will go to Jingfu to find you." ”
"Are you really okay?" Jing Yi stared at Shi Qingqing's eyes tightly, as if there was a hint of abnormality, he would not leave.
It's a pity that no, Shi Qingqing's face was as usual, but when he saw it, he became more and more uneasy, so he couldn't resist Shi Qingqing, so he had to go back to the house.
Shi Qingqing walked towards Liu's mansion. (To be continued......)
