Chapter 471: Investigate the real culprit
Li Canghai touched his chin, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked the woman in blue, "What's your name?" Where was it last night? ”
"Slave Lan Yue, I taught Sister Yanrou to learn female red last night, and I didn't go back to the room to rest until it was getting bright." Lan Yue said.
"I can prove that Sister Lan and I have been embroidering in the room, and Sister Lan's maid can also testify to this." Yu Yanrou said.
Li Canghai looked at Yu Yanrou, among Zhang Wenyuan's concubines, she was the youngest, only sixteen years old, but her appearance was delicate and abnormal, a pair of big eyes full of aura, exuding a soul-seducing light, no wonder Zhang Wenyuan would build a hundred flowers building for her.
At the moment, there was only one woman left among the crowd, she looked at Li Canghai with some panic, and said, "Slave Qiuju, I played chess in the room last night, and then fell asleep while playing...... I didn't know that Sister Hongmei was dead until early in the morning. ”
"Who are you playing chess with in the middle of the night?" Li Canghai asked.
"I didn't ...... No, I'm alone, I'm playing chess with myself. Qiu Ju said a little timidly.
"Can anyone prove what you say?"
Qiu Ju shook her head, she looked at Zhang Wenyuan like a pleading for help, and said, "Master, I didn't kill anyone!" I have the closest relationship with Sister Hongmei, how could I kill Sister Hongmei? Sir, you have to believe me! ”
Zhang Wenyuan patted the back of Qiu Ju's hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The Immortal Chief was just asking now, and he didn't say that you killed Hongmei. ”
After saying this, Zhang Wenyuan asked Li Canghai, "Immortal Chief, what is going on?" Could it be that there are really ghosts? ”
Li Canghai lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and said: "What is going on needs to be investigated before we can know." But rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly. ”
"Since this is the case, then this matter will be long for Lao Xian." Zhang Wenyuan bowed to Li Canghai.
"Let's go, and I'll let you know when I find out." Li Canghai said.
After hearing this, everyone nodded and left the pavilion.
However, Yu Chengen did not leave, he sat next to Li Canghai and said, "Brother Li, who do you think killed Hongmei?" ”
Li Canghai looked at him and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
Yu Chengen frowned, and muttered: "Junior brother thinks that this person from the Zhang family cannot be a murderer. First, they are very familiar with Hongmei, and secondly, Hongmei has lived in the Zhang family for more than ten years, and has never had a grudge against anyone, if the murderer is a member of the Zhang family, why wait until today to kill Hongmei? ”
Li Canghai nodded and said, "What you said also has some truth, who do you think is the most suspicious?" ”
"Takashi Ueda!" Yu Chengen said bluntly.
"Why do you think it's him?" Li Canghai was a little surprised.
Yu Chengen said: "This person has always had eyes above the top, and he is a full color embryo, and when he sees a beautiful woman, he looks like he is fascinated." To tell you the truth, when I first saw him yesterday, Hongmei was practicing calligraphy and painting in the pavilion, and I found that his eyes looking at Hongmei were full of unkindness. What's more, he said that he was sleeping, and no one could prove it, maybe he just took advantage of the night to sneak into Hongmei's room, wanting to be lighter than her. Hongmei resisted, and Ueda Takashi killed him in a fit of rage, and then disguised himself as a suicide. ”
After Li Canghai listened, he nodded slightly and said, "This is also a possibility. ”
"So, Brother Li also thinks he is a murderer?" Seeing that Li Canghai seemed to agree with him, Yu Chengen seemed to be very excited.
"No, speculation alone does not mean that he is the murderer. During this period, there were still many suspicions, Hongmei's clothes were neat, there were no signs of messiness, and there were no signs of struggle in the room. If Ueda Takashi wanted to light the red plum, the red plum would have struggled and his clothes would be messy, and none of this happened, how can this be explained? Li Canghai said.
Yu Chengen thought for a while and said, "This could also be that he sorted out the scene after killing someone?" ”
"Ueda Takashi is indeed a pervert, but I don't think he should be a murderer." Li Canghai groaned.
"Why is that?" Yu Chengen said in surprise.
Li Canghai was just about to speak, when Conan came over from a distance.
After coming to the pavilion, he poured a glass of water, Conan took a few sips to moisten his throat, and said: "I have asked those family slaves and maids, they were all sleeping and resting last night, and they can prove this to each other." Even those patrolling family members are all in groups of two, which can rule out that the murderer is a family slave. ”
Speaking of this, Conan put down the teacup and asked, "Brother Li, how are you investigating here?" ”
Li Canghai told Conan what he was asking about, and said: "Everyone can testify to each other, judging from the time of the crime, none of them had the time to commit the crime, except for Ueda Takashi and Qiu Ju. ”
Conan thought for a moment and said, "Do you think the murderers will be the two of them?" ”
Li Canghai frowned slightly, he shook his head, and said: "I can't be sure at the moment, just now I found that there is an unclear kiss mark between the neck of Ueda Gaozhi, and Qiu Ju's speech is a little fragmented, it is really hard to say whether the murderer is them." ”
"I don't think Qiu Ju should be a murderer." Conan said.
"Why?" Li Canghai asked.
Conan said: "When I asked those family members, I asked them to tell what they saw last night, and two of them said that before patrolling to Qiu Ju's room, they saw Qiu Ju playing chess alone. ”
When Li Canghai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Did they really see Qiu Ju in the room?" ”
"Oh, not really. They just saw the shadow, and according to them, she had been playing chess from Zishi to Yin. It wasn't until after the hour had passed that he climbed on the chessboard and fell asleep. Conan said.
Yu Chengen frowned and said, "In this way, Qiu Ju can't be the murderer." At present, the person who is most suspected is still Ueda Takashi. ”
Conan nodded and said, "So far, it seems that this is indeed the case. To be able to kill Hongmei and lift Hongmei in the air, the murderer needs a lot of strength, and it is absolutely difficult for a woman to do it. Unless, that woman is a martial artist. ”
Yu Chengen shook his head and said, "It's impossible. I have lived in this Zhang family for more than half a month, and according to my observation, there is no one with martial arts in this Zhang family. ”
"If you exclude the female dependents, then the murderer can only be Ueda Takashi." Conan groaned.
Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Ueda Takashi can't be the murderer, he has alibi evidence." ”
As soon as these words came out, Conan and Yu Chengen were stunned at the same time.
"Brother Li, why do you think he is not a murderer?" Conan asked, surprised.
"Because someone can prove that he didn't leave the room last night." Li Canghai said. (To be continued.) )
