Mrs. said: "You find out who poisoned and took away whom, there is no reason to take it away, so isn't this home empty?" The body of the second lady is still in the house. ”

Meng Tianchu snorted and said, "Don't you wish the second lady died?" Didn't you say before she left her to fend for herself? Now that people are dead, you are concerned. ”

The eldest lady was robbed of a sentence by Meng Tianchu, and she said angrily: "If you have the ability, find out who it is, and if you don't have the ability, you will bring us all back." ”

Zhu Hao stepped forward, the eldest lady had seen this person's kung fu before, and instinctively took a step back, Zhu Hao said: "If we want to take someone away, I'm afraid no one can stop it." ”

Miao Zhe stepped forward and said to Meng Tianchu: "You know that my Xue'er has been in very bad health recently, do you see if you can..."

Meng Tianchu said: "We will all take away the people, as for the fourth lady, I will instruct my subordinates to make arrangements." ”

Seeing that there was no hope, the eldest lady said, "Then you should always let us go back to our room and pack some clothes, for now that the weather is so cold, if it freezes us, we will sue you." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "No need, if you need anything, we will send someone back to get it for you." ”

Wang Yi came over at this time and told Meng Tianchu that he could already go, Meng Tianchu walked in front of Miao Rou and her father-in-law, and before he could speak, Miao Rou said: "It's okay, let's go together." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said to Wang Yi: "Take them all back, and don't let me stay here." ”

After Wang Yi took all the Miao family away, Meng Tianchu took Zhu Hao and Murong Zhenxue to the front yard. The courtyard suddenly seemed empty. The cold wind was still blowing fiercely past them, and Murong Yuxue couldn't help but shiver.

Meng Tianchu looked around and said, "Did they let the third lady keep the key to the room?" ”

Zhu Hao handed a string of heavy keys to Meng Tianchu's hand. Meng Tianchu checked it and said, "Fortunately, they haven't entered their own room, in a sense, there are some things that they should still put in their original place, let's go to the eldest lady's room first." ”

The three of them opened the room of the eldest lady, and it was completely like a Buddhist hall. There was cigarette smoke inside, and the whole room was foggy, and after Meng Tianchu instructed Murong Yuxue to open the door, there would still be things in the room for a while.

Meng Tianchu said: "Zhu Hao, when you went to the eldest lady's room last night to see, was her room like this?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "How is it possible? How can you see the people and things in the house? Besides, if it was still like this at that time, she would still want to sleep, she would choke people to death. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I think so too. ”

When the smoke cleared, the furnishings in the room gradually became clear. In fact, the furnishings of the eldest lady's room are very simple, and it is not even gorgeous, and the eldest lady's room in a large family is much larger and more gorgeous than other lady's rooms, after all, she is the main house.

Meng Tianchu took a closer look in the room. This eldest lady thinks she is also a thrifty person on weekdays, and the quilt on the bed is covered with linen. There was no jewelry on the dresser either. Walking to a cabinet, Zhu Hao said, "This is where I found it that day." ”

The door of the cabinet was closed, Meng Tianchu opened it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, thinking that this eldest lady was not liked by gold and silver treasures and silk satin, but by these bottles full of cabinets.

Murong Yuxue walked up to him, couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "This is more than the bottle in the room." It's really worthy of being sold at home. ”

Meng Tianchu found that the bottles in this cabinet were of different sizes, and the colors of the bottles were also different, including the most common blue and white porcelain and white, as well as rare red and black, there were nearly a hundred bottles, four layers up and down, but there was nothing pasted on the bottles.

Meng Tianchu said: "There are so many bottles, how can the eldest lady identify what it is?" ”

Zhu Hao and Murong Zhenxue also shook their heads, Meng Tianchu thought about it, so he closed the door carefully, and asked Murong Zhenxue to seal the cabinet with a seal first, and then walked out of the door.

Coming to Miao Zhe's study, Meng Tianchu looked at it briefly, it was nothing more than some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but there was a bottle of calligraphy and painting here, Meng Tianchu was about to go out, suddenly Murong Zhenxue behind him stopped him, he turned around and looked, and saw Murong Zhenxue standing in front of a shelf with antiques, he walked over.

Murong Yuxue pointed to a wooden square box, the box was already there

Rong Yuxue opened it, and Meng Tianchu looked inside, it was actually a pair of long-lived people

Meng Tianchu took out the longevity lock from the box, looked at it carefully, and the workmanship was very exquisite, although it was similar to the longevity lock that ordinary people bought for their children, it was made of silver, but the craftsmanship was good. The front of the two locks is "auspicious" and the other is "ruyi", and the reverse side is some patterns.

Murong Xue said: "It's a couple, do you think it will be for those two children?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "It's not impossible, it's just that I don't know if this pair of longevity locks has ever been worn by those two children." ”

Murong Xue said: "Generally, children will be given to their children when they are born, if they don't wear it for their children, since he has already bought it, why don't they wear it?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "We can ask Miao Zhe or the fourth lady, and we will probably know." ”

Meng Tianchu asked Murong Yuxue to put the lock in the box, and then took it back to the yamen, and then they continued to go to other rooms.

—

After coming out of the third lady's room, Murong Zhenxue had another thing in her hand, so Meng Tianchu wanted to take it home and let Zuo Jiayin see if it was the ancient "contraceptive" she and Xia Fengyi said. ”

Meng Tianchu came out of Miao's house and went straight to the cell, at this time the sky changed again, this winter Hangzhou seems to have a northern climate, it is snowing every day, Meng Tianchu walked from the outside to the cell only ten meters, and his body was already full of snowflakes.

Meng Tianchu called Wang Yi and asked, "Are they detained separately according to my wishes?" ”

Wang Yi said: "Everyone else is, I just put Miao Jue and Miss Miao Rou and Miss Miao Rou's father-in-law together, the maids are all locked together, and the family members are also locked in separate rooms, and then the fourth lady is locked in a cell with a brazier, and I also ordered two people to watch, the fourth lady thinks that she is really sick, and she doesn't even have the strength to walk, and she doesn't know what kind of disease she has." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "Time is pressing, let's start quickly." ”

Murong Zhenxue took the pen and followed closely behind Meng Tianchu, gently patted the snowflakes on Meng Tianchu's body, and then said, "Who do we start with?" ”

Meng Tianchu sighed, looked at Murong Zhenxue and Zhu Hao beside him, and said, "Who do you think I should go to first?" ”

The two of them were very surprised, they knew that Meng Tianchu had always been very assertive, and he rarely asked others about the matters on the case, they looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and said, "I'm just talking, I know that you won't tell me, I really don't know who to look for this time." So, let's find someone's room first, and I'll ask who's it. ”

Murong Yuxue said cautiously: "You mean, you don't have a score about who is the murderer in your heart now?" ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Murong Yuxue and said, "How is it that it seems that everyone knows who it is, but I really don't know who the murderer is?" Could it be that something is wrong with my brain, you all see a lot of flaws, and I am in the dark. ”

Zhu Hao said: "It's not that you haven't seen the flaws, but you can also see it, young master, but you have always used evidence to speak, so naturally you won't just determine who is the murderer from our eyes and feelings like us." ”

Murong Yuxue hurriedly nodded yes, and Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "You are all my teachers, I really want to know who you think is the murderer from your mouths?" ”

Murong Yuxue stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't want to give you a misunderstanding of your thoughts at this time, my feelings can't represent anything. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Zhexue, you have been with me for so long, and you have only learned one thing. ”

Murong Xue said, "What is it?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Sell Guanzi." ”

After saying that, all three of them laughed.

Sure enough, according to Meng Tianchu's meaning, they asked whoever they went to first, and the first thing they saw was actually the third lady.

The jailer opened the door of the cell, Meng Tianchu walked in front of the third lady, the third lady sat on the bed, saw Meng Tianchu coming over, smiled and did not stand up.

Meng Tianchu said: "As a last resort, you also said that you can't let them be suspicious of you, so I have to lock you up together." ”
