Di Renjie saw that Chunhong had been lying down and crying, so he stopped asking, turned his head and said to the maids who came to testify: "Okay, there is nothing for you to do here, you can retreat!" ”

The handmaidens were relieved, kowtowed again and again, and withdrew from the main hall, Di Renjie slowly came to the butler Tang Lu, and said: "Steward Tang, go out of this pavilion, you take someone to guard this Chunhong here, and go back to this pavilion!" ”

After speaking, Di Renjie glanced at Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying immediately understood, and walked out of the main hall with Di Renjie, Di Renjie looked up, and saw that the few maids who had testified had not gone far, so he said to Xiao Ying: "Commander Xiao, go and stop them!" ”

Xiao Ying stepped forward quickly and stopped the handmaids, and when they looked back, they found that Di Renjie had actually walked towards them, and several of them couldn't help but feel frightened, and their expressions were panicked!

Di Renjie walked in front of a few people, and several maidservants hurriedly gave a salute, but Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Okay, no courtesy, no courtesy!" This pavilion wants to ask where you maid Chunhong lives? ”

A servant girl replied, "My lord, I know Chunhong's room, I can take you there!" ”

Di Renjie nodded and said very politely: "Okay, that's tired!" ”

This handmaid took Di Renjie and Xiao Ying and continued to walk forward, and the remaining handmaidens couldn't help but look puzzled, feeling that the Lord Di in front of her and the one in the main hall just now were like two people!

The maid took Di Renjie and Xiao Ying to a house in the backyard, this is a house with a ridge, one on the left and one on the right!

The maidservant said, "My lord, this is Chunhong's room, and this is the people's girl's room!" ”

Di Renjie was stunned for a moment and asked: "It turns out that you are adjacent to Chunhong, and the pavilion asks you, on the night of Xiaocui's accident, did you hear any movement in this Chunhong's room?" ”

The maid shook her head slightly, and said: "The maid didn't hear any movement, but it seems that this Chunhong didn't come back very late that night, and maybe she never came back, the maid's clothes were scratched that night, and I wanted to borrow a needle and thread from her, and I came to find her twice, but she was not in the room, thinking that when she took the lamp, the maid came over again, and then I didn't see her come back until the maid fell asleep, and then I didn't know if she came back!" ”

After listening to the words of this servant, Di Renjie nodded and said, "Okay! This pavilion knows, you go back first! ”

The maidservant gave a salute and retired, and Di Renjie said to Xiao Ying: "

Let's go inside! ”

Xiao Ying stepped forward quickly, pushed open the door, Di Renjie stepped into the room, the room was not big, and it looked much shabby compared to Xiao Cui's room!

Xiao Ying sneered: "No wonder this Chunhong will be so sarcastic about Xiao Cui, there is a big gap between this maid and the maid?" ”

Because the furnishings in the room are very simple, Di Renjie quickly surveyed every detail, and said with some loss: "It seems that there should be no clues in this Chunhong room, okay, let's go!" ”

Xiao Ying nodded, and the two were just about to go out, but Di Renjie stopped abruptly and moved his eyes to a thing standing next to the door!

"Elder Ge, what are you looking at?" Xiao Ying asked curiously!

Di Renjie pointed to the thing and said, "Commander Xiao, look at this!" ”

Xiao Ying stepped forward and picked up the thing, and said disapprehantly: "Hey! Ge Lao, isn't this the laundry pestle used by the maidservant to do laundry? Nothing unusual, huh? ”

Di Renjie took the pestle, held it in his hand and waved it, and said slowly: "Commander Xiao, do you think this thing can form a wound like the one on the back of Xiao Cui's head?" ”

"Elder Ge, you said that this is the murder weapon that hit the back of Xiao Cui's head?" Xiao Ying took the clothes-pounding pestle in Di Renjie's hand with questions, held it in her hand, touched the edge of the clothes-pounding pestle, and recalled the shape of Xiaocui's head wound in her mind!

Suddenly, Xiao Ying's eyes lit up and said, "Elder Ge, judging from this position, if the murderer hits the back of Xiao Cui's head with this clothes-pounding pestle, it can indeed form that special wound, this should be the murder weapon!" ”

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Commander Xiao, take this to Xiao Cui's corpse for a pair!" ”

The two walked out of Chunhong's room quickly, and came to the firewood room where Xiaocui's body was parked, Di Renjie lifted the white cloth covering the corpse and beckoned to Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying took the clothes pounding pestle and measured the wound on the back of Xiaocui's head, changing a few angles, Xiao Ying exclaimed: "Ge Lao, look, it is completely consistent!" ”

Di Renjie twisted his hair and pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head!

Xiao Ying was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Elder Ge, is there any problem here?" ”

Di Renjie thought for a moment and said, "It was indeed the clothes pestle that hit Xiao Cui's head and left a scar, but it shouldn't be this clothes pounding pestle!" ”

Xiao Ying was surprised: "Pavilion Lao, this clothes pounding pestle all looks the same, and those maids who are responsible for washing clothes have a hand, originally."

Can't tell the difference? ”

Di Renjie twisted his hair and said: "The clothes pestle that hit Xiao Cui should be Xiao Cui's own, Commander Xiao, think about it, just now you said that those maids and women have a hand in this clothes pounding pestle, but we searched Xiao Cui's room, but we didn't see the clothes pounding pestle, so where did Xiao Cui's clothes pounding pestle go?" ”

Xiao Ying recalled the scene of searching Xiaocui's room at that time, and indeed did not see the clothes pestle!

Di Renjie continued: "I think it should be the murderer who took materials on the spot and hit Xiao Cui with Xiao Cui's clothes pestle, and it is very likely that the bloody clothes pestle was thrown into the well along with Xiao Cui's body!" ”

"Hmmm! Reasonable! Xiao Ying agreed!

Di Renjie stroked his long hair lightly and continued: "If this is really the case, then this Chunhong's suspicion is even greater, the murderer of Xiaocui did not carry a murder weapon, but took local materials, it can be seen that he should have acted in a hurry and did not prepare in advance, and according to Steward Tang, Gou Er also received a temporary notice to come to the villa to deliver rice, and after he arrived at the villa, Chunhong mentioned to him that he was beaten, so this Gou Er wanted to avenge his sweetheart, so it was also temporary!" That makes sense! ”

Xiao Ying nodded and said, "Well, Elder Ge's analysis is flawless, maybe that's the case!" ”

Di Renjie stretched out his hand to cover the white cloth on Xiao Cui's corpse, and said, "Let's go, continue to judge this Chunhong!" ”

The two walked out of the firewood room, walked straight to the main hall, and when they arrived at the door of the main hall, they suddenly heard bursts of angry scolding, "You damn slave and maid, behind the criticism of the head of the family, and murder, and still arguing here, today I will tell you to open the skin and flesh, come to someone!" Call me! ”

Di Renjie's expression tightened, and he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked into the main hall, Di Renjie shouted: "Stop!" ”

When everyone saw Di Renjie coming back, they immediately retreated to the side!

Di Renjie said with a straight face: "Steward Tang, this pavilion just ordered you to be detained, but I didn't let you use lynching, although Chunhong is suspicious, but if it is tortured, you also need to listen to the judgment of this pavilion!" ”

The housekeeper Tang Lu hurriedly apologized, "The adult is angry, the little one is really angry, and he didn't hold back his anger for a while, so he acted recklessly, and I hope the adults will forgive me!" ”

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can step back first!" ”

The housekeeper Tang Lu retreated to the side with interest, Di Renjie sat back on the Taishi chair, looked at the trembling Chunhong, and asked, "Bold Chunhong, don't you explain truthfully?" ”
