Chapter 162: The Adulterous Gentleman

Liu Xianling and Huang Zhutou also came to take a look, only to see a shallow wound on the wooden wall, one side diagonally facing down, as if it was formed by the insertion of a sharp weapon.

Without Xiao Jiading's orders, Huang Zhutou hurriedly took the single knife and handed it to Xiao Jiading. Xiao Jiading took it and carefully inserted the tip of the knife into the wound slowly, all the way to the end. I looked at both sides, and it just matched the blade!

The three of them glanced at each other, Huang Zhutou and Liu Xianling obviously hadn't figured out the confusion yet, and looked at Xiao Jiading.

Xiao Jiading said: "The wound in the heart of the deceased Xiao Soul does not match the scissors inserted, indicating that the deceased was not stabbed to death by this scissors, and there is a trace of a single knife insertion on the wall, and it is preliminarily inferred that the murderer should be someone else!" This person's martial arts should be obviously stronger than Xiao Soul, because there are no other traces of fighting in the house, maybe the real murderer only used one move, and knocked Xiao Soul's single knife away and inserted it into the wall, but it was not inserted deeply, so the single knife fell to the ground. The real murderer stabbed Xiao Soul to death with a single-edged sharp weapon slightly wider than scissors, and then used Xiao Soul's single knife to hack to death the eldest lady of the Qu family on the bed, and then broke Xiao Soul's palm, put the single knife in his palm, and left. - However, there is a question, when they were fighting, why didn't the eldest lady of the Qu family call for help? There must be another reason! ”

Huang Zhutou said: "I must have been fascinated by the incense!" Whores like to do this! He inserted the incense into the window, released the incense, and charmed the people before committing the crime. There must be a hole in the window! With that, Huang Zhutou walked to the window and examined it carefully, but to his disappointment, the window was intact and there were no traces of damage!

Huang Zhutou scratched his head, and said a little embarrassed: "It's really strange, why is there no hole?" ”

Xiao Jiading said: "I have checked, not only is there no hole in the window where the incense is inserted, but there is also no trace of damage from opening the window from the outside!" There was also no sign of entry into the roof. Therefore. The murderer must have come in through the door......"

"I see! With a thin blade, pull the latch of the door, and you can come in. In this case, there should be traces of the blade toggling on the latch! So Huang Zhutou ran to check the latch again. But there was no sign of the tip of the knife on the latch.

Huang Zhutou was even more embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "What's the matter?" He didn't come in through the window, he didn't come in through the door, so where did the murderer come in? ”

Xiao Jiading shrugged his shoulders and said, "I haven't thought about this question clearly for the time being. With that, he walked over to his desk and placed the brush in his hand on the pen stand. His gaze casually landed on a piece of paper on the table. At a glance. He was about to walk away, when he suddenly stood up again, thought about it, turned back, carefully examined the handwriting on the letterhead, and took the letterhead and walked to the wall, and looked at the poem on the wall.

Wrong! The handwriting on the stationery on the table was jerky, as if it had just learned to write. But the poem on the wall. The handwriting is a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, very smooth and elegant, obviously not written by a person.

Xiao Jiading groaned slightly, and hurriedly asked Huang Zhutou to call the personal maid of the eldest lady of the Qu family.

The maid's eyes were swollen from crying. At the moment, he was still sobbing, and when he saw that he was inspecting the body of the young lady, he was even more sad, and he began to cry again.

Xiao Jiading waited for her to cry for a while. Then he took the piece of paper in his hand and asked, "Is this what your young lady wrote?" ”

The maid wiped her tears and took a closer look. Nodding: "Yes!" ”

"How to write ......"

Xiao Jiading only said half of what he said and didn't say any more, but the maid had already understood, and hurriedly explained: "Our young lady just learned to write, so ......"

"Just learned to write?" Xiao Jiading was very surprised, turned his head and glanced at the poem on the wall again, "Who wrote this poem on the wall?" ”

The maid glanced at it and said softly, "It's ......, it's the young lady's husband who wrote it......"

"Miss's sir?" Xiao Jiading was very puzzled, "Your young lady is so old, do you still ask Mr. Teacher?" ”

"It's not invited, it's ......, anyway, they don't know what to do."

"You lords don't know what to do?" Xiao Jiading remembered Zhang Sheng in "The Legend of the West Chamber", isn't this girl the matchmaker? "And what about this Mr. Teacher?"

The maid bowed her head and was silent.

"What's his name? What looks? Where are the people? How did you meet your lady? ”

The maid still didn't speak.

Xiao Jiading frowned and said, "I'll ask you!" ”

"I ......, I don't know what to do......," the maid said.

"You don't know what to do? You are your young lady's personal maid, will you not know the way? ”

The maid just lowered her head and said nothing.

Xiao Jiading sighed and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then I can only call your lord to come, and you instigate your young lady to hide from your lord and have a private meeting with men, and see what your lord will do with you!" ”

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, trembling, kowtowed, and said, "I said, ......, please don't tell our master." ”

"You speak first!"

The maid began to cry again, and said to the body of the thief on the ground, "The gentleman is him......"

Xiao Jiading, Huang Zhutou, and Liu Xianling were all stunned, and Xiao Jiading said in a deep voice: "This lewd thief is your young lady's teacher?" ”

The maid nodded.

"What the hell is going on? Tell me what happened! ”

"One night a month ago, this man entered our lady's house through the window and said that he liked our lady and wanted to be nice to our lady. The young lady saw that he was good-looking, and she liked it in her heart. But he said that he couldn't have an affair like this, and if he really had a heart, he would ask the media to kiss. But the man said that he couldn't trust the media, so he could only meet the young lady in private. But he couldn't ask the media for anything, but he refused to say anything. During the private meeting, he also recited poems, which made the young lady like it. Although the young lady admired his talents and made love to her, she never agreed to do the things of husband and wife. He wasn't reluctant either. He also taught the young lady to write. I am the only one who knows about this, and the young lady will not tell anyone. That's it. ”

"Did he tell you who he was?"

"No, he just said that his surname is Xiao, and let the young lady call her Xiao Lang."

Xiao Lang? Xiao Jiading muttered in his heart, grandma's, how do you sound like you're calling yourself! Then he asked, "Since he has a close relationship with your young lady, why did he kill your young lady?" Is he pretending? In the end, I couldn't help it, showed my true colors, and wanted to rape your young lady, so I was stabbed to death by your young lady with scissors? ”

The maid shook her head: "No, Miss told me privately that if he really uses force, Miss will not refuse, but in the future, if he wants to abandon the chaos, then Miss will become a sister-in-law." ”

"Hmm. When is he here tonight? ”

"The slave doesn't know. Really, he is very good at martial arts, and he can go high and high. So they meet in private, and a lot of times I don't know what to do. As soon as I saw the door of the young lady's room closed, I knew that he was coming, and closed the door of the stairs as well. So that the people below will not be able to come up. ”

"Did you close the door tonight?"

"It's off, so I heard the noise and ignored it. Later, late at night, I secretly went to have a look, because Xiao Gongzi would leave every time he came no more than the second watch. Now that it's over, I went to take a look, and found that the door was hidden and there was no sound, so I looked in through the crack in the door, the light was still on in the room, and Xiao Gongzi was lying on the ground, with a pair of scissors in my heart, I was frightened, pushed the door open, and saw the young lady...... Lying motionless on the bed, there was a big laceration in his neck, and the bed was full of blood. I was so frightened that I collapsed on the ground, and I couldn't hide it because of what happened to me, so I ran to call the master. I haven't said anything about Xiao Gongzi and Miss, for fear that others will know about it and tarnish Miss's reputation. ”

Xiao Jiading asked again: "When did you find out that the door of Miss's room was closed?" ”

"When it's just dark."

"What do you hear? Be specific! ”

"Well...... "The maid thought for a moment, "first the young lady's exclamation, which was very loud, and then there was no sound. So I went out to look and found that the door of the young lady's room was closed. I guess Xiao Gongzi came, so he didn't knock on the door and ask. I'll go back to my room. Then I heard a bang, and a thud, as if something had hit the wall. After that, there was no sound. That's it. ”

"Then how did Xiao Gongzi come to have a private meeting with your young lady? Walk the door or flip the window? ”

"Yes, usually the door and window of the young lady are open before going to bed, and sometimes he comes in through the window, and I have met twice, and I am accompanying the young lady as a female worker, and he will appear on the windowsill and smile at us. There were also a few times when they came in directly from the porter. The young lady was worried about being seen, and he said that no one in the house could see him, so there was no need to worry. ”

Xiao Jiading pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Has anyone ever been to Miss's boudoir before?" ”

"Nope." The maid replied in the affirmative.

"Now, I can tell you that your young lady and this Xiao Gongzi were killed by someone, and this person faked the scene. Think about it, who could have committed the crime? Who has a grudge against your young lady or this Xiao Gongzi? ”

The maid sobbed and said, "I also don't think Xiao Gongzi is a bad person." He also never bullied our young lady. He is also very good at caring for people, so I don't believe that he killed our young lady. But our young lady doesn't go out of the door, and she never makes enemies with anyone, so how can anyone want to kill her? I don't know if that Xiao Gongzi has an enemy, because he never talks about himself, and Miss asked once, but he didn't say it, and Miss didn't ask again. ”

Xiao Jiading pointed to the poem on the wall about the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and said, "This should be written by this surnamed Xiao, right?" ”

"I don't know how to do it, but the handwriting is quite similar, I've seen his handwriting. Our lady can't write it. ”

"When was this poem written?"

The maid shook her head again: "I don't know, but I should have written it tonight, because I didn't have this poem when I was in the lady's house in the afternoon." (To be continued......)
