Chapter 362: Exposed
"Master, it's not good, Xu ran away from the firewood room!"
The matter of Xu's escape was soon followed by a maid to Rong Shifan and others.
"What? How did you let that poisonous woman escape! Madame Rongda stood up in shock.
"Miss Biao went to interrogate Xu, and Xu took the opportunity to bump into Miss Biao and ran out."
"Quick, lock all the doors in the house, you must not let this poisonous woman escape!"
"Yes."
"Miss Cousin is back."
Lin Mumu covered her hands and walked into the inner hall.
"Cousin Mu Mu, are you okay?" Rong Qin said with a concerned face.
Lin Mumu shook her head. "It's okay, the important thing now is to find the Xu family immediately, the longer the time, the more likely she is to escape, aunt, I suggest sending someone to search the whole house, and the murderer must not be allowed to escape!"
"You're right, the old lady is so good to her, she even brutally killed the old lady, our Rong family will not let her go if anything."
Mrs. Rong immediately called the subordinates of the Rong Mansion and began to search the house.
Lin Mumu glanced at Qiaoqiao, and Qiaoqiao willingly followed those people to look for it.
However, after a search, there was still no trace of Xu.
"Uncle, the killing of someone by the Xu family is beyond the scope of the Rong Mansion's disposal, it is better to report to the official and let the people from the official government get involved, so as to catch the murderer of the Xu family faster."
Mrs. Rong looked at Rong Shifan.
Rong Shifan was silent for a moment and said, "Come on, take my sign and go to Jing Zhaoyin." ”
"Yes."
The people of the Rong Mansion did not give up the search, but they all turned over the Rong Mansion and did not find Xu's figure.
During the search, the people from Jingzhao Yin Mansion also arrived.
"Master Ji." Rong Shifan and the others stepped forward to greet Master Ji.
"The person who went to report to the official has already told the official, this Xu family is really vicious, don't worry, the official will send more people to find the murderer."
"There's Lord Lao Ji."
Master Ji waved his hand and asked the official to follow to search for people.
"My lord, we found something suspicious."
While everyone was waiting in the front hall, an official came in with a cloth bag.
"What's that?"
The official opened the cloth bag, and inside was a pair of women's shoes and the scabbard of a dagger.
Lin Mumu stepped forward and picked up the scabbard and looked at it, and then took out the dagger that assassinated Mrs. Rong and compared it with the scabbard, and then directly inserted the dagger into the scabbard, and the scabbard was completely consistent with the dagger!
"Where did you find this thing?"
"Lord Hui, it's in the West Cross Courtyard."
"Impossible!" As soon as the official's voice fell, Rong Zhou stood up and retorted sharply.
Master Ji's brows moved and he looked at him. "Why is it impossible, who is in this West Cross Courtyard?"
"Master Ji, this must be the Xu family who deliberately framed my son, and the West Cross Courtyard is my son Rongzhou's residence." Rong Shifan explained.
Master Ji picked up the shoes that were obviously women's and turned them over and looked at them, and there were large dark red blood stains under the shoes. "Who are these shoes?"
Mei Ying, who was standing behind Rong Zhou, stepped forward and bowed down with a frightened face: "Lord Hui, these shoes belong to a little woman." ”
Master Ji subconsciously looked at Mei Sakura's feet. "Who are you?"
Mei Ying looked at Rongzhou a little helplessly.
Rong Zhou pulled Mei Ying behind him and said, "She's my person." ”
Master Ji raised his shoes and exposed his underside in front of everyone. "How do you explain the blood on the soles?"
Rong Zhou looked at the shoes and frowned. "This must also be the poisonous woman of the Xu family who wants to frame Mei'er, this poisonous woman is so vicious, killing her grandmother doesn't count, and now she still wants to frame me and Mei'er!"
Master Ji looked at the official errand. "Where did you find it in the West Cross Courtyard?"
"The side house on the south side."
When the official's words fell, Mei Ying's face turned pale, and she leaned on Rong Zhou as soon as her body became weak.
The side house in the south is the house that Rongzhou asked people to sort out for her after she came back this time.
"Framed, framed, this is framed! How could Mei'er be the murderer of her grandmother!? Rong Zhou shouted angrily.
The thing was found in Mei Ying, and Mrs. Rong didn't say anything, anyway, she didn't like Mei Ying very much, she always felt that she had fascinated Rong Zhou too hard, and having such a woman by her son's side might be bad in the future.
"My lord, you must find out, how can the little woman be the murderer of Mrs. Rong, the murderer is clearly Mrs. Rong, this is what Mama Huang, who was waiting by Mrs. Rong's side, saw with her own eyes." With red eyebrows, she looked at Ji Dadao with a pair of angry eyes.
"My lord, I have something to say." Lin Mumu said suddenly.
"Say it."
"At that time, after the murder, Mama Huang promptly asked people to guard the house, that is, my eldest uncle, they did not enter my grandmother's house after the incident."
Hearing this, Rong Shifan and the others nodded. "I didn't go in."
Lin Mumu continued: "There are blood stains on the soles of these shoes, which proves that it has been to the scene of the murder, if the shoe prints of these shoes can be found in the house where my grandmother was assassinated, can it prove that the owner of these shoes is inseparable from the murder?" ”
After listening, Master Ji nodded. "That's true."
Mei Ying, who was leaning on Rong Zhou, glanced at Lin Mumu, and a trace of killing intent flashed quickly in her eyes.
"Come on, go in and see if there are any similar shoe prints in the house."
"Yes."
The two officials put cloth covers on their shoes and walked into the house.
At this time, Qiaoqiao quietly returned to Lin Mumu's side and whispered a few words beside Lin Mumu.
Lin Mumu listened and nodded.
Two quarters of an hour later, the official who had gone in to search came out. "My lord, we've found similar shoe prints."
"Oh? Where? ”
"On the beams."
"Roof beams?" Master Ki's eyes narrowed and he looked at Mei Sakura.
Mei Sakura was stunned. "Someone must have stolen my shoes to commit murder, I, I have never been to the old lady's house, let alone how can I, a powerless woman, leave shoes printed on the beams of the house?"
"Suffer death!" Just when everyone didn't come back to their senses, Lin Mumu suddenly pushed Rongzhou away, pulled out the dagger in the scabbard and stabbed at Mei Ying's life, if Mei Ying didn't avoid this knife, she would definitely die!
Mei Ying was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around and kicked Lin Mumu's hand holding the dagger!
This change shocked everyone present.
After making a move, Mei Ying suddenly realized that she had revealed her stuff, so she simply stopped pretending, and glared at Lin Mumu with a hideous face, pulled out the dagger on her waist and pounced on Lin Mumu.
Lin Mumu was already on guard, and quickly turned sideways to avoid her attack.
Master Ji came back to his senses and let out a loud sigh. "Come on, take her down for me!"
Mei Sakura's face sank, and when she saw that the situation was not good, she turned around and was about to run.
"Go after it, you must not let this murderer escape!"
"This, how can this be ......" The sudden change made Rong Zhou stunned on the spot, and he pinched himself fiercely, as if he couldn't believe what he had just seen.
"It turned out to be this, I thought there was something wrong with her before, you fool has left a scourge by her side for so long!" Mrs. Rong came back to her senses, and patted Rong Zhou twice with a frightened face, Mei Ying has been by Rong Zhou's side for so long, if she wants to kill Rong Zhou, wouldn't it be a simple matter? !
"Master, we found the Xu family in the abandoned well in the backyard of the West Cross Courtyard." The subordinates of the Rong Mansion came to report.
"How did she end up there?"
The subordinate came to the crowd with the fainting Xu.
Lin Mumu took out a bottle of medicine from her body and put it on the tip of Xu's nose for her to smell, and after a while, Xu slowly opened her eyes.
"It's Mei Sakura, it's Mei Sakura who killed the old lady!" Xu Shi woke up and said weakly.
"How do you know that it was Mei Sakura who killed the old lady?" Rong Zhou looked at Xu, whose face was as pale as paper, and said stiffly.
Xu Shi looked at her and smiled coldly. "Because before the old lady was killed, I saw Mei Sakura on the beam!"
Xu's words happened to coincide with the eyebrow cherry shoe prints found by the official on the beam of the house.
Rong Zhou's body staggered, and he fell to the ground.
Master Ji immediately asked people to file a case for investigation, and the Rong Mansion also began to prepare for the aftermath of Mrs. Rong.
The mourning hall of Rongfu was quickly erected.
Lin Mumu, who was dressed in white, knelt in front of the mourning hall and threw the money paper into the brazier.
"Grandmother, do you know, I have never regretted it so much in more than twenty years of life, I regret why I went out of the house at that time, why I didn't let people look at Mei Sakura when I obviously suspected that there might be something wrong with Mei Sakura...... Grandmother, don't worry, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find her out and avenge you! If she had asked Xiaojia to send someone to watch Meiying at that time, maybe such a tragedy would not have happened, she still underestimated Meiying too much.
At that time, she didn't leave the house immediately after cleaning up Old Madam Rong, but took a very detailed look around the house, and the reason why she knew that there might be a problem on the beams of the house was that she found strange dust on the small round table of Fang's potted plants.
Mrs. Rong's house would be cleaned up every day, and it was impossible for dust to fall on the table, so when she had doubts in her heart, she climbed up on a stool to take a look, and sure enough, she found suspicious footprints on it.
The footprint was not so big if it was said to be a man's, but it seemed to be a bigger one for a woman, and she immediately concluded that it was the foot of a woman who practiced a family.
In her memory, there was indeed such a pair of feet that were very similar to that shoe print, and that was Mei Sakura's feet.
This was the first time she met Rongzhou in the broken temple to give Meiying first aid to see it inadvertently, at that time she was still curious about Meiying's weak temperament and those big feet really didn't match, but she didn't expect her unintentional glance to become the key to finding the real murderer.
She concluded that Mei Ying didn't have time to destroy the evidence after the hasty killing, so she secretly asked Qiaoqiao to focus on searching Mei Sakura's house when she was searching, but she didn't expect to really let her find it, Mei Sakura left in a hurry after the killing, and she definitely didn't have time to properly dispose of the tools of the killing, or maybe she felt that no one would suspect her, so she didn't dispose of the bloody shoes and scabbard afterwards.
Mrs. Rong's body was transported back to Qingcheng three days after the suspension of the spirit in Xijing, which was also Mrs. Rong's last wish, Lin Mumu escorted Mrs. Rong back to Qingcheng for burial before returning to Xijing.
"Miss, Mei Sakura has been caught."
