The coldness of his fingertips made Su Peisheng's heart also cold.

He had already speculated about this, but there was no substantial evidence for it.

"Father-in-law Su, look."

Gu Qinghuan pulled Su Peisheng's arm, pointed to the little shallow marks on the wellhead, and said, "The mark here looks like it could be the mark of Xiuying's struggle when she fell into the wellhead?" ”

"The traces here are too vague and a little messy."

Su Peisheng came over and glanced at it, and said, "I've seen it here before." There are too many traces around here, and these frictions are not necessarily caused by struggling. ”

Gu Qinghuan took a closer look, and sure enough, he also found a lot of traces of the old and the new.

Look, there are some marks that look like buckets scraping on them.

If you want to talk about nail prints...

There are also two shallow openings.

"Hmm." Gu Qinghuan nodded, knowing that he couldn't judge anything with these. So I put the bracelet in order first, and then looked around.

Around the ancient well, the snow was relatively clean.

The ground isn't slippery, but it's unobstructed, and you can't see anything.

Gu Qinghuan stretched his neck and looked inside, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

"Grandpa Su."

Gu Qinghuan hesitated slightly, but still looked at Su Peisheng beside him, and asked, "Do you have... Have you sent someone down to see it? ”

Su Peisheng glanced at Gu Qinghuan. His eyes moved slightly, and he said, "No." ”

At the same time, Su Peisheng also had a bad premonition in his heart.

“…”

Gu Qinghuan suddenly glanced at Su Peisheng with some resentment.

Sure enough, as smart as Su Peisheng, he immediately understood what Gu Qinghuan meant.

"This..." Su Peisheng resisted the urge to vomit, but still ordered someone, ready to go down and take a look.

By this time, it was already getting dark.

Gu Qinghuan stood on the edge of the ancient well with a lantern and quietly rubbed his hands.

As the night progresses, it gets colder and colder.

Su Peisheng was directing the people who went into the water to look around, and they were busy in an orderly manner.

And a little farther away, there seemed to be some little palace maids quietly running over to see the excitement.

"What do you see? Don't you think you have less work to do on your own? Catch me one to watch the fun, and I'm not allowed to sleep tonight! Hurry up and disperse! ”

The housekeeper of the Huanyi Bureau, holding a thick wooden stick in her hand to pat the clothes, waved it at the palace maids.

The palace maids shrank in fright, and hurriedly retreated.

At the bottom of the well, there was a constant sound of splashing and tumbling in the water.

As time went on and on, Gu Qinghuan's heart sank slightly. After a while, he walked to Su Peisheng, who was also looking forward to it with his neck stretched.

"In the cold winter, or..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man at the bottom of the well suddenly heard a voice, "Found something..."

"Quick, pull people up!"

Su Peisheng's eyes were quick, he rushed to the edge of the well, and also helped pull the rope and pulled the little eunuch up who went into the water.

A moment later, a soaking wet little eunuch crawled out of the well.

One of his faces was bruised from the cold, and his whole body was still shivering. His lips were trembling, and it was clear that it was extremely cold under the well.

"It's this..."

The little eunuch trembled and took out a thing that was clenched in his hand, handed it to Su Peisheng, and said tremblingly: "Grandpa Su... Remember to promise me... A tael of silver! ”

"When is it, and you're still thinking about the silver!"

Su Peisheng said angrily, first took the things from his hand, and then instructed the people behind him, and said, "Take him back to change into clean clothes and drink a few bowls of thick ginger soup." ”

The corners of the little eunuch's mouth grinned slightly, and with the support of people, he was about to leave.

"Take it."

Gu Qinghuan stuffed the half-tepid soup woman in his hand to him, and said, "Go back quickly." ”

Life is not easy, and he also helped them.

"Thank you." The little eunuch trembled his lips and before he could finish speaking, he had already been carried away by someone.

Under the hazy twilight, Su Peisheng took the things that the little eunuch had stuffed into his hands.

Looking at the small round one, it looks a little familiar.

"This..."

Gu Qinghuan took a few closer looks, and immediately recognized it, and said, "This looks like a button." ”

A very ordinary button is the button on the clothes worn by ordinary eunuchs.

"There are some threads at the junction of the buttons."

Su Peisheng pointed and said, "Looking at the way the thread is disconnected, it doesn't look like the button is loose and falls off naturally, but it looks like... ripped apart. ”

"And... This button still looks relatively new, and it may have fallen these days. ”

Gu Qinghuan nodded silently, already having a guess.

Judging from the blood stains on the ground and this button, Xiuying may have been dragged by a small eunuch and thrown into the well.

At that time, Xiuying should still be conscious, and when she struggled, she ripped off the buttons of the little eunuch's winter coat. Together, they fell into the water.

"That's right."

Gu Qinghuan seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "That day, did you ever conduct an autopsy on Sister Xiuying?" ”

"Nope." Su Peisheng said: "I just looked at it hastily, and then I took Xiuying's body... I sent it back to her house. ”

"We were negligent..."

Gu Qinghuan lowered his head and said, "I've heard that if the deceased struggled before he died, generally speaking, there will be some residual marks between the fingernails. ”

"Maybe it's dirt, maybe it's some hair or something. And..."

"And what?"

Su Peisheng's heart was in his throat, and he couldn't wait for Gu Qing to finish his words happily. Gasping for breath like this, he was really curious to death.

"And if there is a struggle, it may leave traces on the murderer."

When Gu Qinghuan was a child, he saw the record of clearing grievances.

At that time, there were some traces left between the fingernails of the deceased in one episode. Song Ci, based on this, gradually investigated and found the murderer.

"But you're just speculating."

Su Peisheng frowned and said, "There are so many eunuchs in the palace, if you want to find out, I'm afraid it's even more difficult than climbing to the sky." ”

Is it possible to gather all the eunuchs in the palace and check them one by one for scars?

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Qinghuan smiled mysteriously, holding the button in his hand, and said, "It's enough for us to have this." There is a trick called luring the snake out of the hole, I wonder if Gonggong Su has heard of it? ”
