"I wonder what else is going on with Lord Su?" Gu Nanling stopped unhappily when he heard this.

"Miss Gu has seen any strange men in the house?"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yuyu's heart was half cold, it seemed that Su Mu believed Gu Nanyuan's words, that child was not his.

Gu Nanling was stunned for a moment, and then denied it, "I've never seen it." ”

"That young lady is often out of the house."

"No, although she is not liked by Nan Yuan, I have never seen her get close to others."

If so, then this child can only be Gu Nanyuan's, could it be that Gu Nanyuan is really a hard-hearted person, even admitting his own children?

Gu Nanling glanced at the crowd. Shi Li said: "It's not too early for a few adults, if there is nothing wrong, please go back."

The stunned few people were silent all the way.

Even the usual chirping Yuanshuang seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Wang Quanlin looked at the few people who had gained nothing, and he didn't ask anything, just beckoned the servants to prepare the meal.

The few people who went out early in the morning went back and forth several times, which can be described as physically and mentally exhausting.

"What are you watching me do?" Yuan Shuang's hand picking up the steamed eggplant stopped in mid-air.

"Nothing, nothing." Gangneung lowered his head as he spoke.

"Gnea~" Xia Yuyu's heart rolled and couldn't help but run outside the house.

"I'll go see her." Song Zirui got up and chased out.

Xia Yuyu, who hadn't eaten for a day, was extremely disgusted when she thought of the scene of Yuanshuang eating eggplant.

Jaundice water was spit out.

"How?" Song Zirui asked as he handed over a glass of water.

"Not good, I'm not good at all." After the words fell, she "vomited" again.

"Otherwise, you will rest in the mansion tomorrow, and you don't have to go with us."

Xia Yuyu glanced at him and shook his head with an ugly face, "No, I will definitely catch Gu Nanyuan, a scumbag, with my own hands." ”

"Gu Xiaogongzi didn't like the young lady in the first place, why did he suddenly want to kill her?" Song Zirui took the water cup and continued: "I think this matter has nothing to do with him. ”

"What? Independent? Xia Yuyu didn't seem to believe his ears, "It's because he doesn't like the young lady that he makes people's stomachs bigger." It's over, there's no way, just don't do it and keep it. ”

Hearing this, Song Zirui smiled and quipped: "Then according to what you say, there is no need to investigate this case, just arrest people directly?" ”

"He should be arrested now, preferably to death or something."

"Then I don't know how many unjust cases there will be in this world."

Xia Yuyu angrily shook off Song Zirui's hand, and said while returning to the room: "Song Zirui, just wait and see, a woman's intuition will not be wrong." ”

Song Zirui sighed speechlessly, probably this is a girl, and everything is done by intuition.

"Hey, Su Mu, why are you here?"

Su Mu, who was at the door, took his gaze back from Mu Yun's back and asked, "Is she okay?" ”

"I'm probably going to be hungry for days." Song Zirui pursed his lips, "I've seen a lot of it before, why did I ...... it this time?"

"That's fine, at least a little bit like my daughter's house."

"Yes." Song Zirui saw the two steamed buns in Su Mu's hand at this time, and said "heh", "For her?" ”

"It's not." As he spoke, Su Mu took a bite.

Song Zirui is not stupid, how could he not see his thoughts. Isn't it just pretending to be high, and not admitting it.

"Humph!" As soon as Yuan Shuang came out, he glanced his face to the side and shouted, "Yiyi, let's go!" ”

"Hey, princess, you see that the night is very beautiful today, why don't I accompany you to enjoy the moon and talk about life?" Gangneung chased him out of the dining room.

As he spoke, Yuan Shuang glanced up at the dark sky and ignored him at all.

"Gangneung, what are you doing here?" Song Zirui grabbed him and reminded him to glance at Su Mu.

Su Mu pretended not to hear or see anything, and quickly turned his face to the other side.

"Zirui, what are you pulling me for?" Gangneung shook his hand anxiously.

"Why is this dark night so beautiful?"

"Song Zirui, you know a fart, you are not done if you don't let go of my roots."

As soon as Song Zirui's hand was released, Jiangling chased out like a wild horse on the loose.

He also shouted: "Princess, wait for me, wait for me." ”

Seeing this, Song Zirui unconsciously looked at Su Mu, who had no reaction.

"You're ...... No, huh? Song Zirui asked euphemistically.

"What?" Su Mu looked dazed.

"Not angry?"

"Why am I angry?"

With that, Su Mu turned around and left, leaving Song Zirui alone and messy.

......

Wang Quanlin sat in the study, with a calm face and did not say a word.

In the past few days, the first thing he did when he got up was to look through the files about Mrs. Gu Shao.

Every time he found nothing, Su Mu would be called in, and then he would be severely reprimanded.

Wang Quanlin has reason to be angry, after all, he and Gu Qilin are both celebrities around the emperor, and they are both in charge of the military, the difference is that one is internal and the other is external.

On the surface, he is amiable, but in private, he has always wanted to compete.

looked at Su Mu, who was speechless.

Jiang Ling silently exchanged a look with Song Zirui.

Xia Yuyu's idea was very simple, he directly arrested Gu Nanyuan, and the case was solved.

"It's obvious who the killer is, okay?" Mu Yun complained in his heart.

Su Mu closed his eyes again and sorted out his thoughts.

Mu Yun snorted coldly and muttered, "I really don't know what you're hesitating about?" ”

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes and said, "The young lady's death is very likely to have something to do with this child. ”

Song Zirui echoed with a "hmm".

"So, it was Gu Nanyuan who killed the young lady?" Jiang Ling looked at Mu Yun.

"That's not right." Song Zirui frowned, "Although Gu Nanyuan is cynical, if I know him, the most he can do is make trouble and fight." He didn't have the guts to kill someone. ”

"Besides, if he wants to harm Mrs. Gu, he doesn't have to throw the body outside and deliberately let people find it."

With the situation of the Gu family, if Gu Nanyuan killed someone in the mansion, Gu Qilin could easily deal with it. If he throws the corpse, it will make things out of his control.

"Let's go, go out and have a look." Su Mu said coldly.

Xia Yuyu looked reluctant, "Go again?" ”

In the past few days, he has gone back and forth to Shangshu Mansion and the Governor's Mansion more than a hundred times, and Xia Yuyu really doesn't want to go anymore.

But in order to find evidence that Gu Nanyuan killed his wife, he complained in his mouth, and his feet still followed a few people out.

Shengjing, Long Street.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs step by step, but there were not many people on the streets and alleys for a few days to talk about the tragic death of Mrs. Gu Shao.

"Why throw away such a good garment?" Xia Yuyu curiously picked up the light green gauze from the tree roots on the side.

didn't even see the style clearly, so he was snatched up by Jiang Ling and thrown back, "This is the clothes of a dead man." ”

"Dead?" Xia Yuyu was stunned.

"When this person dies, she will burn her clothes and jewelry. Otherwise, you will have to run naked in the underworld. ”

Song Zirui handed over the handkerchief and emphasized: "It's all superstition, you don't have to go to the king's heart." ”

Xia Yuyu glanced at them: "It's a pity." ”

After a while, Su Mu said, "Go to Shangshu Mansion." ”

As soon as he arrived at Shangshu Mansion, Su Mu walked into the hall and covered his mouth and nose to conduct another autopsy.

This time, only Song Zi was accompanied by him, although the ice cube was preserved and lost, it could not hide the smell of the corpse from the inside and outside.

Due to the severe swelling of Mrs. Gu's head, it had been judged to be a blunt force blow before, and through another comparison, Su Mu vetoed his previous idea.

Seeing the two of them coming out, there was silence in the side hall, and Gu Nanling asked, "What new discoveries have you made?" ”

"Miss Gu, can you take us to the young lady's room."

"Come with me, several." Gu Nanling readily agreed.

The room was still the same as before Mrs. Gu's accident, and all the furnishings had not been touched.

Song Zirui touched the bottom of a table and found that there was still some vermilion lacquer that had not dried thoroughly. He rubbed his fingers and asked, "Has the house painted furniture recently?" ”

Gu Nanling shook his head, "Uncle Zhang is responsible for these things, and I don't know the specifics." ”

"Go and get Uncle Zhang." Gu Nanling immediately commanded his subordinates.

Uncle Zhang is an old man who is over the age of six, and he is a little hunchbacked, and he bows his hand to everyone as soon as he enters the door.

"You're Uncle Zhang?" Song Zirui glanced at him: "Have you ever been to paint the young lady's room recently?" ”

"Back to my lord, the lacquered furniture is carried from each room to the lacquer room to be painted, and it will be sent back when it is dry."

"Dry?" As he spoke, Song Zirui stretched out his fingers dyed with red paint.

"Uncle Zhang, what's going on?" Gu Nanling asked.

Uncle Zhang was also speechless for a while, unable to answer.

After a moment, Su Mu lowered his tone, "Which rooms have sent the table to paint these days?" ”

"Two were sent from the old lady's room, four from the next room, oh, one from the lady's room, and it was gone."

"There is no young lady in the room?"

"Nope!" Uncle Zhang replied in the affirmative.

"Get all these tables!" Su Mu ordered Uncle Zhang.

Jiang Ling, who returned to the side hall, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and asked puzzledly: "Zirui, which play are you playing with Su Mu?" ”

"Mrs. Gu Shao did not die by blunt object blows, but by impact."

"Impact?"

"That's right, the killer hit him on the head with a blunt object, just to cover up the truth."

Gangneung was instantly dumbfounded.

"My lord, all the tables have been found." Even if Uncle Zhang stood up straight, he gave people the appearance of bowing his head.

These small Eight Immortal Tables, except for the different shades of color, are almost exactly the same.

Su Mu skillfully took out a dagger from his waist and scratched it against the lacquer surface of each table.

Su Mu's operation made everyone look at it in a fog.

"As long as you scrape off the top layer of paint, the old paint below will leak out." Su Mu responded to the few people who were puzzled.

Just finding a key piece of information can lead to the murderer.

The murderer hid the entire Shangshu Mansion, destroyed the wounds, and even wanted to destroy the murder weapon.

In less than half a pillar of incense, Su Mu had already scraped three tables.

As another table scraped open, Su Mu put away the dagger in his hand.

shouted: "Uncle Zhang, come over and see if this table is wrong."

"How so?" Uncle Zhang's eyes widened, "I have never been wrong in Shangshu Mansion for more than 30 years. ”

"Hmm." Gu Nanling nodded decisively when Su Mu looked at him.

"Someone can do this to paint it." Su Mu asked.

Uncle Zhang didn't answer, his eyes lit up for a moment, "I remember, this table was sent by Xiaofuzi the day before yesterday." ”

"Go find Xiaofuzi." This time, Gu Nanling didn't wait for Su Mu to speak, and then rushed down and ordered.

Xiao Fuzi looked at the tables in front of him and was stunned for a moment, and then calmly saluted a few people.

Su Mu looked around him, pointed to the table that had been changed with paint, and asked, "Do you recognize this table?" ”

Xiaofuzi shook his head affirmatively, "This is not the table in my room. ”

A few people were shocked, this was obviously his table, why didn't they know it?

"Look carefully!" Song Zirui pulled him to the table.

"My lord, this table is indeed not mine, my table leg is missing a little edge, if you don't pay attention, you can't see it. This table is intact and definitely not mine. ”

"Then you're looking at this." Su Mu pointed to the table in Young Lady Gu's room.

"This is mine, but this color is wrong." Xiao Fuzi didn't seem to understand why his table had turned vermilion.
