Chapter 44: Blood Letters

In the forest, He Li and the others wore a black towel on their faces, covering their mouths and noses.

He Li stood far away, and his eyebrows and eyes looked more resolute and cold in the faint light, and there was no trace of panic or pity in his eyes.

Before Huanhuan could get close to them, he was discovered by He Quan.

He Quan held the hilt of the sword in his hand and stepped on the moonlight and walked towards Huanhuan.

"Girl, this is not where you should be." He Li stretched out his hand holding the hilt of his sword to stop them.

"I've seen it, and I'm not afraid." Hwan Hwan bypassed him and walked straight to that place.

He Qi knew that she was persistent, and he had seen it last time when he prevented her from leaving the house. No longer persuasive, neatly took out the hyacinth on his waist, lit it, and walked beside Huanhuan to illuminate the dark future for her.

"He Quan, can you see the blood next to the corpse?" Huanhuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and the closer he got to the rockery where the corpse was hidden, the more disgusting the unpleasant smell of the corpse became, "But there is still a face towel?" Lend me one. ”

"No more," He Li looked down at her, seeing that her eyelashes were like glowing crow feathers in the firelight, he couldn't help but look at them a few more times, "The girl's handkerchief can also hide the taste." ”

"How do you know I'm wearing a handkerchief?" Huanhuan touched her waist when she heard this, she remembered that she used to have the habit of wearing a veil, but she touched her waist and didn't find a handkerchief.

Huanhuan looked a little depressed, and he didn't give up and touched it, He Li was beside her and gently held the fire hyacinth and waited for her slowly.

"The girl entered the Drunken Immortal Residence that day..."He Li wanted to explain the question Huan Huan asked, but as soon as Huanhuan smelled the Drunken Immortal Residence, he stretched out his hand to block his mouth, and he was not allowed to continue.

"It's okay, I'll just raise my hand and cover my mouth and nose with my sleeve."

Huanhuan glanced at Ling'er weakly, for fear that she would hear He Quan's sentence that she had entered the Drunken Immortal Residence and saw that she was a little far away from herself, so she was relieved. Taohuamei glared at He Quan, and said with a slight threat: "I haven't been to the Drunken Immortal Residence. ”

He Li has been by Li Zerong's side for so many years, and he is very calm, and he understands what Huanhuan means, "Okay." ”

Soon I saw the corpse of the tragic dead woman hidden here in the evening, but there was an extra rotten straw mat for the cover, and the hideous rotten face was blocked by a black scarf that covered the face.

Huanhuan glanced at the corpse, sighed secretly, and then moved his gaze to the blood word not far from the corpse.

"This blood word has been changed!" Huanhuan took the fire letter in He Quan's hand, and squatted directly at the row of crooked blood words regardless of the smell, "That's not the case." ”

Realizing that something was wrong, Huanhuan turned his eyes to look at the female corpse again, and found that the placement of her corpse was also different from what she and Mo Niang saw.

At first I saw that the corpse was lying on its back, but now the corpse was lying on its side, and there were drops of dirty blood connected to the row of blood characters, as if the deceased had only one breath left before his death, and he was desperately writing.

Seeing that she was so frightened, He Qi reached out to hold her arm, and said softly: "The girl has seen something. ”

"After we left, somebody came to re-move the body. That's not the case..."

Only then did Huanhuan realize that things were not as simple as he imagined, and he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp. Could it be that when they found the corpse here today, the murderer was watching them darkly, watching all this quietly.

Ling'er was afraid, so she deliberately got closer to the crowd, her hand tightly grasped the lantern handle, and cold sweat once again covered her forehead. Hearing Huanhuan say that someone had moved the corpse from behind, I suddenly remembered that when I was looking for Huanhuan and Mo Niang, I felt that someone behind me was staring at her closely...

Ling'er shook her head and didn't dare to think about it, she trembled and approached Huanhuan, and said in a trembling voice: "When I was looking for Miss and Mo Niang alone, I felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at me behind me. ”

When Huanhuan heard this, his pupils dilated, and his voice was determined, "Someone must have done something!" ”

Seeing her reasoning like this, He Qi couldn't help coughing dryly, and said roughly: "It's them, they want to drag the corpse to bury it, and move the corpse." ”

Huanhuan's nervous heart suddenly relaxed when he heard this, glanced at He Quan, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he said embarrassedly: "Oh." ”

Ling'er also breathed a sigh of relief, holding Huanhuan's arm close to her, looking still a little scared.

"The girl is very attentive." He Li looked at her and saw that her face was flushed, and he couldn't help but say this.

Huanhuan ignored him, but turned to look at the typeset again, scratching his neck, "What does this mean?" ”

Ling'er shook her head and looked at Huanhuan helplessly, "Maybe it's just a mess." ”

"It was used by the murderer to wipe away the blood stains on the knife and scratch it at will." He Li walked in and pointed to the row of bloodstains, "Didn't the girl find that there were knife marks under the bloodstains?" ”

"How can the knife marks be so crooked? It must be deliberate. ”

Huanhuan has already been dismantled by He Qi once, and she doesn't want to be despised and denied by him anymore, not to mention that she really feels that this bloodstain has been changed.

"It's because he has too much blood on his hands."

"What do you mean?" Huan Huan was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and raised his eyes to look at He Quan, "There are so many blood stains, even if it is stained with blood, it will not be the same." ”

He Li stopped talking, took the torch of the guard beside him, leaned closer to Huanhuan, and stared at the row of blood characters.

"There aren't many messy blood stains."

Huanhuan understood what he meant, except for some obvious knife marks, there was not much dirty blood scattered outside.

Seeing Huanhuan's thoughtful appearance, He Qi reminded again: "I am afraid that the corpse will die for less than three days, and it is not so easy to change this bloodstain." ”

Huanhuan's face turned white and red when he heard this, and being poked in front of him for his stupidity made Huanhuan feel a little embarrassed. She glanced back at Mo Niang, and saw that Mo Niang's face did not show a trace of surprise, so she wondered if she was really wrong. Mo Niang has seen this bloodstain with her today.

Huanhuan stopped guessing, and asked without giving up: "Then do you have any clues?" ”

"The girl is not in a hurry, she will have the truth when she tells the prince tomorrow."

"Why are you so sure that Li Zerong will find out the truth?"

He Li's rare eyes showed a smug look, "Because he is the prince." ”

Huan Huan snorted coldly and said, "He doesn't care if he's just a prince!" ”

Dropping these words, Huanhuan took the hyacinth and wanted to leave angrily. She thought that she would immediately come up with the truth, but she didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of He Li again and again.

"Girl," He Quan called to her, "the hyacinth is about to be extinguished." ”

He Quan handed her the torch in his hand and motioned for her to take it away.

Seeing him like this, Huanhuan was a little moved, and when he reached out to take the torch in his hand, he happened to meet his eyes, "I have always had a question, I want to ask General He." ”

He Li didn't respond to her, didn't talk, just looked at her faintly.

Huanhuan looked away and sighed softly, "I never understood why you followed him. I remember you, I've seen you a long time ago, haven't I? ”

"There's no need for the girl to know that." After He Quan handed over the torch, he walked away, leaving only this sentence.

"Uninteresting." Huan Huan was buried and walked slowly with a torch.

"It's like a prince." Ling'er has seen He Qi a few times, and this is her most intuitive feeling about He Quan.

Huanhuan looked back at Ling'er with a torch and chuckled, "Ling'er feels the same way?" ”

A master and a servant were all amused by this rare tacit understanding, and their faces were smiling. The fear slowly dissipated in them, but it was infinitely magnified in Mo Niang......

Early the next morning, Huanhuan sat in the courtyard, looking at Mo Niang, who was busy boiling porridge in the kitchen, sleepy.

In the past, she should still be dreaming of butterflies, but a loud thunderclap this morning woke her up. As soon as she woke up, she thought of the female corpse she saw yesterday, and she didn't have the heart to sleep, and she wanted to find He Li to explain.

But when the sky turned white, she sat in the yard and came to sleepiness again.

Huanhuan raised his eyes to look at the morning glow in the sky in the distance, and was so fascinated by the fantastic light reflected in the sky that he didn't notice that there was one more person behind him.

"Miss, it's cold in the morning." Ling'er took a cloak and put it on Huanhuan's shoulder, "Did you have a nightmare last night?" ”

"No, Ling'er has a nightmare?" Huanhuan looked back at her with a smile, "This morning's thunder scared Ling'er to pee." ”

The corners of Ling'er's mouth barely pulled out a smile, and her face was a little pale, "I dreamed yesterday that I was brutally murdered, just like the woman yesterday, and her death was extremely miserable. ”

Huanhuan noticed that when Ling'er said this again, she couldn't help but touch her chest, and it seemed that she was really scared.

"Silly Ling'er, dreams are reversed." Huanhuan leaned out, took Ling'er's cold hand and clasped it, and comforted, "With me here, I won't let anyone hurt my good Ling'er." ”

Ling'er looked at her with tears in her eyes and nodded slowly.

"Miss is going to find the prince?"

"I must be looking for him to find out the truth." Huanhuan pulled Ling'er to sit side by side with her, and gently cut her sideburns, "I always feel that this matter is inseparable from the princess." ”

"I was so scared that I couldn't sleep last night, and I thought about it for a long time, wondering if the princess would deliberately do this, using the fate of the tragic death of the maidservant to intimidate you, give you a horse, and prevent you from marrying the prince. And at this time, it is close to Qixi Festival, and the young lady and the prince are about to get married. Ling'er looked a little sentimental, secretly hoping that the incident would be as she guessed, and that the princess would be able to prevent her young lady's marriage to the prince.

"Wait for an answer." Huanhuan let go of Ling'er's hand and raised his chin with both hands, "It's a pity that I didn't find evidence last night, and I was laughed at by He Quan." ”

"Why doesn't Miss suspect General He? What if he was prepared in advance and waited for us to jump down? ”

"He Li is not that kind of person." Huanhuan raised his eyes to look at the golden xia in the sky again, and sighed lightly, "He has no reason to be like this, he only listens to Li Zerong's orders." ”

"Did Miss forget that on the day he fell into the water, who did General He obey and delay in saving you?"

Huanhuan glanced at Ling'er meaningfully, and at some point, she began to gradually lose her ability to guess Ling'er's thoughts, and she no longer felt her simple cuteness. On the contrary, she always felt that Ling'er was hiding something on her body, and she was reluctant to tell her.

"Don't talk about it, Hao Ling'er went to see if Mo Niang's rice was cooked for me?" Huanhuan stretched his neck, looked at the kitchen, and muttered, "Why did you wait so long?" Is Mo Niang in poor health? ”

Ling'er got up and walked to the kitchen, and when she opened the door, she bumped into Mo Niang carrying a pot of fresh fish porridge and wanted to go out.

Mo Niang only raised her eyes to look at Ling'er, then hurriedly handed the porridge in her hand to her, and then made a hilarious movement, looking a little painful, and pointed to the direction of the thatched house, and hurriedly pulled out her legs and ran away.

The golden morning glow shone golden on the two small kitchen knives hanging from her waist. Since Mo Niang appeared, Huanhuan's attention was attracted by the two silver kitchen knives tied around her waist, and she suddenly felt strange.

Why did Mo Niang hang two knives on her waist when she went to the thatched house? Yesterday, I went to the rockery forest and hung a knife on my waist.

Huanhuan felt faintly uneasy in his heart, looking at Mo Niang's distant back, hoping that she would be able to come back in a while, and lovingly watched himself eat the food she cooked, just like before.
