Chapter 54: Finding the Murderer
"If this person's guess is correct, it should be my dowry maid, Hong'er." Sun Qingqing said firmly.
Li Shengshu watched from the side, and when he heard such a conclusion, a little interest appeared in his eyes: "How do you know?" ”
Sun Qingqing turned around the corpse, and then made a note: "First, the concubine's maid Hong'er has been missing for more than a month, which happens to coincide with the time. ”
"Second, this corpse also appeared in the concubine's backyard, and the location coincides."
"Third, and most importantly." Sun Qingqing paused, reached out and picked up a branch on the ground, and lightly tapped it on the bone of the left hand of the bone: "Hong'er's left little finger is unconscious, so this bone is also completely broken." ”
Looking in the direction she pointed, I saw the black and gray branches dotting on the snow-white bones, which was quite penetrating.
But it can be seen that this is indeed a small segment of the finger bone.
That's why there is no consciousness.
Listed one piece of evidence, it is undeniable that this is Hong'er, who has been missing for more than a month.
Sun Qingqing thought that Hong'er had encountered an accident, but what she didn't expect was that they had all turned into a pile of white bones, and no one had ever found it.
From this point, it may be possible to find the murderer.
Sun Qingqing pondered.
Hong'er was Sun Qingqing's dowry maid, and she died in her backyard, from any point of view, this speculation is not good for her.
But Sun Qingqing didn't feel anything wrong.
Li Shengshu's eyes were full of interest.
She is really different from others, she is so meticulous in her observations, her reasoning is the way, and she has never been afraid of a single bone.
However, those who dare to poison him are naturally bold.
Li Sheng shook his head and affirmed her speculation: "Since the princess said so, then this matter will be left to you to investigate." ”
"Yes, the concubine will live up to the prince's expectations."
While speaking, Li Shengshu wanted to stay and see how Sun Qingqing speculated the murderer, but who knew that at this moment, Zhao De came over and leaned over and said something in his ear.
He smiled and said, "This king still has some things, so he will leave first." ”
Sun Qingqing didn't feel much about his departure.
Staying here wouldn't help him anyway.
But she could probably guess why.
Li Shengshu is now "crippled", but he still has military power in his hands, and there must be people in the DPRK and China who are eyeing these powers in his hands.
Dangerous.
Retracting his thoughts, Sun Qingqing looked at the corpse in front of him again.
Before she could interrogate the people around her who were related to Hong'er, a voice rang out: "Hey, I heard that someone died in the backyard of Lanchen Garden, and I didn't believe it at first, but who knew it was true!" ”
Gazing at it, I saw that Qiaoxin, Sun Jiayao and others had already arrived.
Sun Jiayao saw the bones of Bai Sensen's corpse, and couldn't help but step back a little.
As a boudoir woman, she had never seen anything like it. When you meet for the first time, you will naturally be scared.
She looked around, but she didn't notice the person in her heart.
Sun Jiayao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't see Li Shengshu, but she knows that Sun Qingqing let Hong'er die here, and she is afraid that she will not have a peaceful birthday in the future.
Sun Qingqing looked at her coldly: "What are you here to make a fuss?" ”
"What's the matter, princess, this courtyard is not your property, do you care about the heavens and the earth or where I stand?" Clever tongue, retorted.
Sun Qingqing didn't bother to take care of her.
She doesn't have the heart to play tricks with kung fu now.
Sun Qingqing began to investigate the people Hong'er had been in contact with.
According to speculation, Hong'er should have died a month ago, and during this, she asked some people who were usually close to Hong'er, but she didn't find anything wrong with her.
Why did you kill Hong'er?
Sun Qingqing thought about it, and there was only the palace gardener who handed over to Hong'er, Gao Han.
He is the most suspicious.
But Sun Qingqing hadn't found a good reason to bring that person out.
But at this moment, Ah Ling hurriedly came in from outside and reported: "Miss, Mrs. Su and Mama Gui are here." ”
What are they doing at this time?
Sun Qingqing's eyes flashed, and he had to order: "Take care of this place, no one is allowed to leave without my order." ”
When she had finished her instructions, she went to the antechamber.
Su Shi and Gui Mama were already waiting.
When Sun Qingqing arrived, Su was comforting Mama Gui: "Mama Gui, don't be sad, Qingqing will definitely give you justice." ”
"What justice?" Sun Qingqing walked over and sat down, and asked directly: "What justice did Su Niang say?" ”
Several people were stunned.
Su Shi seemed to hesitate for a while before saying, "Qingqing, I heard that Hong'er is dead, right?" ”
Got the news so quickly?
Sun Qingqing's heart moved slightly, and her eyes swept over Qiaoxin and Sun Jiayao who followed behind, and she had a bottom.
It seems that someone is secretly reporting the news.
"Hong'er is my dowry maid, but she is just a maid after all, and she doesn't need Su Niang to come to the palace when she dies." Sun Qingqing made it clear.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Mama Gui, who was standing next to Su's family, shouted loudly with red eyes: "Hong'er is the daughter of the old slave, even if the princess can not care, the old slave must ask for justice!" ”
Mama Gui said these words almost hoarsely.
Sun Qingqing didn't expect that Hong'er was actually Mama Gui's daughter.
Mama Gui is Su's personal maid, and she is quite valued by Su on weekdays, her daughter died, and she died when she was with Sun Qingqing, no matter what, Sun Qingqing had to give her an explanation.
Su Shi seemed to be very worried about Mama Gui's body, and said softly on the side: "Mama Gui, don't be angry, the princess will definitely find out the murderer." ”
Sun Qingqing did not refute Su this time.
She bowed her head and promised: "Mama Gui doesn't have to worry, Hong'er is my dowry maid, needless to say, I will also find the murderer to avenge Hong'er." ”
Mama Gui only calmed down at this moment.
Only then did they rush to the backyard again.
Since Mama Gui is here, she must find out the murderer today.
Sun Qingqing could already predict how Mama Gui would make trouble if the murderer could not be found.
rushed to the backyard, and the backyard was still the same as before.
Mama Gui's eyes turned red when she saw Hong'er's corpse, and she almost couldn't stand.
Sun Qingqing hurriedly ordered a few maids to help Mama Gui, and then began to investigate.
She began to ask one by one: "Do you know where Hong'er was last seen before, and what is she doing?" ”
These maids usually have more contact with Hong'er.
I asked several questions, but the answers I got were all the same.
Until I asked the last maid.
That maid is Yue'er who sleeps in the same room as Hong'er.
Yue'er saw Sun Qingqing and hesitated.
Sun Qingqing saw her hesitant eyes at a glance, and softened her tone slightly: "You just need to tell what you know, and I will only punish the person who killed Hong'er." ”
Yue'er knew something at a glance.
is nothing more than afraid that Sun Qingqing will be angry with her.
If you really see a suspicious person related to the murderer, but you don't stop it at the time, you may also be held criminal.
But Sun Qingqing is not such a person.
Her clear eyes were steadfast, giving Yue'er a lot of confidence.
Yue'er bit her lower lip and began to narrate: "I lived in the same room with Hong'er, about a month ago, that is, two nights before her disappearance, when I went out at night, I found a sound in the backyard. ”
Sure enough, Yue'er knew something.
Sun Qingqing's gaze floated slightly, but did not interrupt her narration.
Yue'er continued to recall the events of that night: "Hong'er was not in bed, and I saw two people talking in the gap in the backyard through the crack in the window. ”
"Who are those two people?" Sun Qingqing asked out loud.
"One is Hong'er, and the other is ...... The gardener in the house is called Gao Han. Yue'er said.
Then you already have a clue.
What Sun Qingqing wants is such evidence.
Who would sneak up in the backyard without sleeping at night?
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she immediately ordered: "Go, bring Gao Han to me." ”
"Yes."
Soon Gao Han was brought over, he was still wearing the clothes he was wearing, and the cuff of his trousers was still stained with mud, looking like a very honest person.
Seeing that Gao Han was brought over, Su Shi's eyes flickered slightly, and the cold light swept through.
"Gao Han, huh?" Sun Qingqing stood a little tired, sitting on the chair that Ah Ling had moved intimately, but her momentum did not decrease at all, "Someone said that you saw the dead Hong'er a month ago, how do you explain?" ”
"Who is Hong'er?" When Gao Han was asked, he showed a blank look, looked around, and seemed to be a little scared: "The little one has never seen such a person." ”
"You really haven't seen Hong'er?" Sun Qingqing asked again.
Gao Han lowered his face, restrained but his tone was firm: "The little one has really never seen this person, please check it out with the princess." ”
If the investigation does come to this point, it will be a deadlock.
Qiaoxin watched the show on the side and looked at this side proudly.
But who knew that Sun Qingqing was not flustered at all.
She didn't show any other emotions when she heard this, but while lowering her head and fiddling with her tender white fingers, she said casually: "But how do I remember that on the day of Hong'er's disappearance, you had contact with her and went to the Guogong Mansion?" ”
After speaking, Sun Qingqing suddenly raised his eyes, and a fierce light erupted in his eyes, as if he wanted to see Gao Han's whole person in a real way.
Gao Han's frightened expression was a little stiff.
He looked around uneasily, and just as he was about to say something, Sun Qingqing interrupted him: "My people have seen it with their own eyes, Gao Han, please summon it truthfully." ”
was looked at by her like this, and was directly pointed out what she was doing that day, Gao Han had to admit: "Yes, I saw her that day." ”
"But she asked me to bring a letter to Mama Gui, just because I could come and go in the house at will, and she was fine when I left."
He said it word for word.
