It can be seen that this female corpse is very young, her skin is smooth, her face is good, but her clothes are disheveled and her lower body is bare, according to Liu Shun's years of experience, most of them died of rape and murder.

Several people from the Arrest Department took a detailed look in the cave, Liu Shun squatted down and carefully looked at the female corpse from top to bottom, and saw that her right hand was tightly held, and there seemed to be something faint in it.

Liu Shun took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully, this is a piece of Hetian jade seed material, the color is good, the feel is warm, and the openwork is immediately sealed, and it is very valuable at a glance.

The woman's body was curled up, a pair of embroidered shoes fell on her sides, there were many abrasions on her feet, and the nails of her hands were split, apparently she had struggled hard before she died.

She was holding this jade pendant in her hand, which was most likely worn by the murderer, and was torn off by her in a panic.

Because the cave was narrow and the light was dim, Liu Shun ordered his subordinates to carry the female corpse out of the cave so that the people in the house could identify the body.

Most of the people who died in the house were people in the house.

The female corpse was carried out and placed in the open space next to the lotus pond in the back garden, and many timid people turned their faces and did not dare to look at it. But there are also sharp-eyed ones who recognize who it is at a glance.

"Isn't this the spring warbler in the lady's room?!"

One sentence caused an uproar, and everyone including Bao was shocked.

stepped forward to identify it carefully, and it was undoubtedly a spring warbler.

"Madam, is this indeed the maid in your room?" Liu Shun asked Bao.

Bao's heart was also full of suspicions: "This is indeed the big girl next to me, but a few days ago, she told me that she was going home to live for two days, so I told her to leave, and she didn't come back since." ”

Although Chunying was only on leave for two days at that time, because it had been raining, she didn't feel strange that Bao didn't come back. , and then Wei Yiwan's incident happened, where do you still have the heart to worry about a maid?

"What day did she take a leave of absence from you?" Liu Shun asked.

"It was the day it started to rain at night," Bao replied without hesitation, "It's been seven or eight days." ”

"Will anyone see her go home after that?" Liu Shun continued to interrogate.

The servants of the Zhiyong Mansion all said that they had not seen the spring warbler come back.

"So she should have been killed on the day she left the house." Liu Shun thus determined the time when the spring warbler was killed.

Wei Yining took a closer look at Chunying's body in the crowd, and saw that she had a large bruise on her neck, bite marks on her shoulder, and her clothes were torn, obviously strangled to death after being humiliated.

"Grandpa, madam," Liu Shun said with a salute, "According to the regulations, if there is a murder, you must be an official." We had to take away the bodies of the fourth lady and the maid, and have the yamen do an autopsy and fill in the corpse grid. ”

Liu Shun and the others did not come with a service, and even if they were there, it would be impossible to dissect the corpse in the Zhiyong Mansion.

Wei Zongyong naturally knew the regulations here, and nodded immediately.

When he saw the corpse of the spring warbler, his heart shook greatly, but he also knew that he must not show it.

Liu Shun asked again: "I don't know if there is someone named Yongchang in your mansion?" ”

Wei Zongyong didn't understand why he was asking this, and said: "Yongchang is the character of the dog Chang'an, why are you asking this?" ”

Liu Shun nodded, took out the jade pendant that was immediately sealed and said, "I don't know if this jade pendant belongs to the eldest prince?" The word Yongchang is engraved on the back of this jade pendant, so the lower officials have this question. ”

Wei Changan already felt that something was wrong when he heard that the female corpse in the artificial cave was Chunying, and he forced Chunying to do so that night, and it was in this place.

But he didn't kill her!

Why did she die?!

Is it humiliated but self-inflicted?

Why does Liu Shun have his own jade pendant in his hand?!

Liu Shun looked at Wei Chang'an, and the sweat on the other party's white face was dripping down.

If he didn't have a weak heart, how could he have such a reaction?

"This jade pendant was found by Xia Guan in the hands of the female corpse, and she held this jade pendant tightly when she died." Liu Shun opened his mouth and said: "Since it is the eldest prince's thing, I would like you to come back to the yamen with us, and then send you back after the trial is clear." ”

He said this, but everyone could hear it, he had already regarded Wei Changan as a suspect, and if he was really convicted, would he be able to come back?

Wei Changan immediately collapsed on the ground in fright, crying and saying to Wei Zongyong and Bao: "Dad, mother! I really didn't kill anyone! Help me! ”

Bao only felt that God was joking with him, her daughter's suicide had exhausted her, why did her son be suspected of murder again? !

Wei Zongyong was already dumbfounded, his toad eyes were straight, and his walnut-sized brain rolled into a pot of porridge.

There was only one voice in his head: his son raped and killed the maid who had an affair with him! If this thing spreads, his old face will be completely gone!

"Liu Patrol Arrest," although Wei Zongyong had long heard that Liu Shun was a glass ball that did not enter oil and salt, he still had a trace of luck at this time, and lowered his voice and said to Liu Shun: "Do you think this matter can be discussed in the long run?" ”

Liu Shun smiled: "My lord, I'm just a small official, you can remove me from my post now, but you can't let me bend the law for personal gain in office." There is a saying that the fire cannot be contained in the paper, and the one who says it is clear is self-purifying. If you really believe that the eldest young master is innocent, the best way is to go to court to clear his name. Otherwise, how to block the mouth of Youyou? ”

Wei Zongyong's donkey skills are poor.

Wei Changan is weak and aggrieved, and he is weak in heart because he did rape Chunying, and he can't get rid of it. The grievance is that he obviously didn't kill him, but Chunying died, and he didn't want to take his life.

His eyes were flustered, and he was anxious to find someone who could save him, and suddenly met Aunt Mei's gaze, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Aunt Mei's expression was indifferent, with a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth.

Wei Changan suddenly remembered that day when he and Chunying were pulling in the back garden, he bumped into Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei killed her sister Wei Yiwan, her mother wants to kill her, Aunt Mei is still a trapped beast, and she will definitely climb herself!

Wei Changan couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and he suddenly felt that he was trapped in a dead knot.

In the end, the people of the Arrest Department took away the two bodies of Wei Yiwan and Chunying from Wei's house, and also took away Aunt Mei who was suspected of killing Wei Yiwan and Wei Chang'an, who was suspected of killing Chunying.

and the little grass carp next to the corpse of the spring warbler.

Wei Changan was dragged out by the soap officer, because his legs were already weak with fright, and he just cried and begged his father and mother to find a way to save him.

Compared with him, Aunt Mei seemed much calmer. She looked around at the crowd, and finally landed her gaze on Wei Yining's face, and smiled meaningfully.

This glance was short, but Wei Yining saw it.
