There were no clues here in the well, Di Renjie raised his hand and said to Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying: "Let's go, let's go to the place where Xiaocui lives and have a look!" ”

The three of them came to Xiaocui's room, although Xiaocui was demoted to a maidservant, but she did not live in the backyard like other maidservants, because she was the personal maid of the owner's wife Begonia, so Xiaocui lived in a house not far from Mingyue Tower!

Di Renjie looked around the entire room and didn't find anything abnormal, the furnishings in the room were the same as usual, and there were no traces of a fight in the room!

Xiao Ying looked at it for a long time and said, "Elder Ge, there doesn't seem to be anything here?" It seems that this Xiaocui was killed before she returned to the room? ”

Di Renjie stroked his long hair, smiled slightly, and said, "Commander Xiao, you must pay attention to the details when investigating the scene!" Look at that! ”

Xiao Ying looked in the direction of Di Renjie's finger and found that Di Renjie was pointing to Xiaocui's bed!

Xiao Ying walked to the side of the bed, carefully observed it for a long time, and asked puzzledly: "Ge Lao, there is nothing on this bed?" ”

Di Renjie smiled again and said: "Sometimes when we observe a thing, we always pay attention to the details, but we often ignore the most superficial things!" You see, only half of the drapery of this bed has been collected, but the other half has been confiscated, which is a situation that a large family like Xilin Villa will never have! This kind of big family has extremely strict requirements for subordinates, and this curtain must be put away after getting up, so this Xiaocui was lying on the bed to sleep last night, and this half of the curtain should have been hung by the murderer! ”

Li Yuanfang interjected with some puzzlement and asked, "My lord, maybe this Xiaocui got out of bed last night and hung up on her own?" ”

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "This is unlikely, do you think, if Xiaocui got out of bed by herself last night, she would just need to lift the curtain, why hang it up?" Of course, that's not the point, you see what's missing in this bed? ”

"What's missing?" Xiao Ying was full of doubts and checked again, and suddenly, Xiao Ying's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "Ge Lao, there is a quilt missing on this bed!" ”

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Hmm! That's right, this is the most abnormal place, think about it, in such a cold season, doesn't this Xiaocui need to cover the quilt when he sleeps at night? But the quilt on the bed is gone, what does this mean? ”

Li Yuanfang said suddenly:

"My lord, I know, Xiao Cui was injured in the back of her head, and the reason why there was no blood in the process of moving the body was because the murderer wrapped her tightly with Xiao Cui's quilt, so the blood did not drip to the ground!"

Di Renjie nodded approvingly and said, "Hmm! Yuan Fang's analysis makes a lot of sense! If Yuan Fang's inference just now is true, then the scene of the murder should not be far from this room, and it may even be in this room! ”

Saying that, Di Renjie carefully checked inside and out on Xiaocui's bed, but found nothing!

Di Renjie said slowly: "It seems that Xiao Cui was not here when she was hit by the murderer!" Otherwise, it is impossible to see not a drop of blood on the bed! Let's go and take a look in the yard! ”

The three of them looked around in the courtyard, but still found nothing, and at this time the sky was getting dark, and the three had to give up the survey!

Just after dinner, Di Renjie was sitting in the room, constantly recalling all the information collected during the day in his mind, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Someone outside the door called softly twice, it was the voice of the housekeeper Tang Lu!

Di Renjie got up and opened the door, "Oh, it's Steward Tang, come in and talk!" ”

Di Renjie dodged and let Tang Lu into the room and closed the door, "Steward Tang came to visit at night, is there anything wrong?" ”

Tang Lu bowed down and said, "My lord, Tang Lu has something that he thinks may be related to the death of his servant Xiaocui, so he has come to report it to my lord!" ”

"Oh? What is it? Di Renjie's expression tightened, and he hurriedly asked!

The housekeeper Tang Lu said: "My lord, it's like this, today a maid told the villain that Xiaocui had a quarrel with a maid named Chunhong when she was washing clothes with other maidservants, and Xiaocui beat this Chunhong, and this Chunhong later said to other maids more than once that she must make this Xiaocui look good!" Therefore, the villain speculated that Xiaocui's death might be related to this Chunhong! ”

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said, "Steward Tang, this Xiaocui was indeed thrown into the well after being beaten, but Chunhong is a female streamer, I'm afraid it can't be completed, right?" ”

The housekeeper Tang Lu said: "My lord doesn't know, this Chunhong has a good match, it is the guy from the Jinyuan rice shop in Shanyin County called Gou Er, and the rice in our villa is sent by this Gou Er, and the maid Chunhong is good with the maid Chunhong!" The villain asked the room, last night, this Gou Er happened to come to deliver rice

！ Chunhong may not have the ability to kill people and throw corpses, but this Gou Er has the strength to do so? Killing Xiao Cui and then throwing the corpse, isn't it easy for him? ”

After listening to the words of the housekeeper Tang Lu, Di Renjie couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and said after thinking for a moment: "Well, Steward Tang, the situation you provided is very important!" In this way, don't alarm this Chunhong first, check this Gou Er first, in this way, Steward Tang, I bother you to go to this Jinyuan rice shop, ask the shopkeeper, when did this Gou Er go back after sending the rice yesterday, come and tell me immediately when you have the result, and we will discuss the next move! ”

"Yes! The adults let them go, and the villains will do it! The housekeeper Tang Lu answered and exited Di Renjie's room!

As soon as Tang Lu left, Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying came to Di Renjie's room!

Li Yuanfang opened his mouth and asked, "My lord, I saw Steward Tang go out of your room just now, why did he come to you so late?" ”

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Steward Tang just provided me with a situation, he said that there was a maid Chunhong who had a dispute with Xiaocui, Xiaocui beat Chunhong, Chunhong once threatened to retaliate, and Chunhong has a good friend, it is Gou Er who sent rice to the villa, and yesterday this Gou Er just came to the villa to deliver rice!" ”

Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying were both shocked, Li Yuanfang said: "In that case, it is very likely that this Chunhong instigated Gou Er to kill Xiao Cui, and then threw the body into the well?" ”

Di Renjie nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation we have, there is indeed this possibility, the maid Chunhong and this Gou Er, both have motives and time to commit crimes, and the most important point is that these two people know the situation in the villa very well, and how to avoid the night patrol family is even easier!" ”

Xiao Ying opened her mouth and said, "Elder Ge, then since this is the case, we will arrest this Chunhong now, and won't it be clear to interrogate her?" ”

Di Renjie shook his head slowly, and said: "No, it's not time yet, I've already asked Steward Tang to go to Jinyuan Rice Shop to investigate, if this Gou Er wasn't in the rice shop last night, then the possibility of Chunhong conspiring with him to kill the maid Xiaocui will be greatly enhanced, and then the two of them will be taken down together, and it will not be too late for a second trial!" ”

In the middle of the night, the wind suddenly rose in the villa, Di Renjie suddenly woke up from his sleep, sat up, the moonlight reflected on the window, the dead shadow of the branches cast on the window paper, swaying with the wind, Di Renjie was completely sleepy at this time, sat on the bed, and fell into contemplation......
