Chapter 141: It's a knife mark, not a knife cut
Huaiyu pondered for a moment, looked at Chunyue, who was crying because she was worried about her life, and said loudly, "Where are the other ladies who went out of the city with you?" β
Outside the bamboo forest, there are crowds, and girls traveling together are everywhere, but since they are traveling together, they should be anxious if they haven't seen Li Nianqi go back for so long, right?
"Your young lady has been dead for a long time, why did you come here at this time?"
The two questions made Chunyue's face flush, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't say a word.
An Yiwen stepped forward and said to Huaiyu, "Sister Gu, you don't know, this Li Nianqi is not a good person, and when the other ladies see her away, I'm afraid it's too late to be happy, how can they come to her." β
This is strange, Huaiyu looked at the dead woman, although the death was not good-looking, but it could also be seen from between her eyebrows, she was once a beautiful daughter.
"What's wrong with the law?"
"She was born to Li Yuanwai's seventh concubine, and she is the most favored and arrogant on weekdays. Don't talk about outsiders, even the two sisters in the house, she can't look down on it, I heard that the two sisters on her head are bullied by her."
When An Yiwen talked about other people's gossip, she immediately became interested, chattering endlessly and telling Huaiyu one by one like pouring melon seeds.
"She looks good, she is young, her father and mother are spoiled, and she has developed a temperament that is not afraid of heaven and earth since she was a child, and she is not inferior to men. Li Yuanwai has no sons under his knees, only three daughters, so he loves this little daughter who is a little manly, I heard that Li Yuanwai is looking for a son-in-law for her recently."
Is this story so twisty?
Huaiyu shook his head and instructed Xiao Liu to call a member of the Li Mansion to go out of the bamboo forest in advance, and look at the young ladies who went out of the city with Li Nianqi outside.
Although it is not a way to let the deceased lie here like this, the people here, except for those few timid rat-like family members, are only a few women, and it is not an easy task to move the deceased out of the bamboo forest.
Huai Yuyin pointed to the Li Mansion family members, "You guys, take good care of here, if anything happens to your young lady, I will only ask you." β
Those family members are trembling, this person is dead, what else can happen?
Could it be that he will still deceive the corpse?
Thinking about it like this, several people felt more and more cold at the back of their heads, and their eyes only dared to stare at their toes, and they didn't dare to glance at the place where Li Nianqi was lying.
Duan Qinqin is funny, a few big men, but she is not as weak as a woman.
She saw that Huaiyu walked to the other side by herself, and she didn't know what she was looking at, so she and An Yiwen also walked over.
"Huaiyu, do you see something?"
Huaiyu looked back at the two of them and said slowly, "This murderer is good at kung fu." β
An Yiwen looked excited: "How can you see it?" β
"Look at this row of bamboo forests, broken from root to root, it shows that the murderer is a person who is accustomed to using swords."
Hearing Duan Qinqin say this, Huaiyu nodded approvingly, "Yes, the bamboo forest is cut off, and the murderer must have a weapon in his hand, but he doesn't use the weapon in his hand to kill, he prefers to cut down the bamboo and kill with a bamboo pole."
"What does this mean?"
"That meansβ"
"The murderer is afraid that his weapon will be recognized?"
It's not impossible.
It's just that if you use a sword, or a knife, what if you are recognized, there are so many people who use swords in the world, why are you afraid of the one that recognizes him?
Huaiyu bent down, and looked carefully at the row of cut bamboos in front of him with the light coming in from the forest, and the cut marks were neat and neat, with a slight inclination.
Duan Qinqin also squatted down, "This knife is really very skillful. β
"Why do you say it's a knife?"
Hearing this, Duan Qinqin looked at Huaiyu suspiciously, "This slash mark, in addition to using a knife, can it be a sword?" β
Huaiyu smiled, "Although this is like a knife mark, it is not caused by a knife." β
She patted the bamboo leaves on her body, stood up, and looked at the dead Li Nianqi with an inexplicable expression.
Interestingly, in a place like Anqing, there is actually a person who makes the sword so exquisite.
The sky became darker and darker, and when the last light in the forest finally disappeared, Zhao Yan's anxious voice came, "Huaiyu." β
Huaiyu hurriedly replied, "Here." β
Zhao Yan personally brought more than a dozen black-clothed people, one by one, holding torches, looming in the dark bamboo forest, if they hadn't heard Zhao Yan's voice, everyone would have thought that it was a ghost fire from hell.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
"I'm fine."
Zhao Yan pulled Huaiyu in front of him uneasily, lit the torch, and saw that Huaiyu was in a blazing spirit, so he let go of his heart.
Several people watched from afar, and the secret guards of Xunyan Tower were busy carrying the deceased onto the stretcher.
Zhao Yan suddenly said, "I said Huaiyu, it seems that every time you go out of the city, you will encounter dead people." β
Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, remembering that the last time she went out of the city, she happened to meet Han Tongshan and Han Jingquan trading in Shili Pavilion, and saw the dead Qianniang.
"It's none of my business." Huaiyu said, "The last time I went out of the city, I also brought Sister Qin and Xiaoliu with me. β
Duan Qinqin and Xiaoliu didn't follow you out of the city in their hearts? If you don't come out, how can we get out?
However, both of them tacitly agreed not to speak, and the young couple loved each other, so they just watched quietly.
However, An Yiwen, who was originally looking at Zhao Yan stupidly, suddenly looked at Huaiyu with admiration.
"Oh, Sister Gu, it turns out that it's not the first time you've seen a dead person, no wonder you were so calm just now."
This, if you want to talk about calmness, the calmest person is her, right?
Huaiyu smiled lightly, it wasn't the first time she had seen a dead person, there were already too many people to die under her hands.
"Sister Gu, tell me quickly, what did you see last time? Why haven't I heard of any dead people? β
An Yiwen forcefully pulled Huaiyu from Zhao Yan's side to herself, looking like Huaiyu wouldn't let her go without giving her a good explanation.
Zhao Yan remembered the scene of being confessed in public last time, and for a while he didn't know whether to go up and pull Huaiyu back, or just stand.
Huaiyu smiled and pinched An Yiwen's lovely cheek, "It's dark, let's go out first, and I'll tell you later." β
"Okay."
Zhao Yan was curious, when did the two of them become so good? Huaiyu is really, he has never been so gentle and patient with him, and he is so good to a woman who once thought about himself.
Her heart is too big!
He thought so in his heart, but he walked up to Huaiyu quietly, reached out and clasped Huaiyu's hand, quickened his pace, and walked far ahead of everyone with Huaiyu.
