Chapter 5: The Suspect
"The first to come was the little boy, and after I came, I persuaded you-"
Luo Sheng's eyebrows raised slightly: "Didn't you scold?" β
The red beans are stagnant.
Luo Sheng said expressionlessly: "You don't have to hide it when you talk to me in the future." β
She needed accurate information, not misled by embellished words.
Hongdou responded yes, and said eloquently: "The little boy came to scold you and left, and then the two cousins came." The eldest cousin said similar things to the little boy, and the second cousin advised you to discourage your anger and persuade you to fight......"
Luo Sheng's white fingertips tapped the tabletop: "So, the second cousin girl is good to me?" β
"Yes, the friendliest of your cousins is the second cousin, unlike the eldest cousin who goes toe-to-toe with you everywhere......"
Luo Sheng listened quietly and fell into thought.
To the point of killing, there must be a motive.
In the past three days, the master of Sheng Mansion has come to visit her one after another, she doesn't speak, listens more, and watches more, and has some impressions of everyone.
The grandmother was helplessly disappointed in her, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were disgusted but had to put on a caring posture, the eldest uncle was a little afraid, and the second uncle was not in the house.
Luo Sheng thought that these elders in the Sheng Mansion probably didn't want to watch her have an accident.
Miss Luo's father was in a high position and sent his daughter who caused trouble to her grandfather's house to avoid the limelight, and it was really difficult for the Sheng family to explain if something happened.
And it is not easy for outsiders to sneak into Miss Luo's boudoir without knowing it.
In this case, the peers of the Sheng Mansion will be very suspicious.
The eldest girl Sheng Jiayu, who dislikes her and defends her brother Luo Chen, scolds her and even disdains her "cousin", Sheng Jialan, the second girl who behaves in a friendly manner, and the four cousins who don't have much contact-
Who is the one who wants to harm Miss Luo?
Luo Sheng looked at the white silk hanging from the beam again.
I have to say that this murder method is a bit crude.
The motive may have been there for a long time, and the opportunity for the other party to make a hasty move was likely to be three days ago.
On that day, Miss Luo expressed her thoughts to her grandmother about Su Ergongzi, and then she was killed......
Nine times out of ten, there is a connection between the two!
Luo Sheng had a faint guess about the suspect, and had another doubt: Miss Luo was hung on a beam after falling asleep, and she didn't wake up and struggle during this period?
Her gaze slowly swept over the interior furnishings, and landed on the blue and white multicolored plum pattern tea set with a tea Gu missing a tea Gu in her hand.
The teacup that was missing had just been smashed by her, and the broken porcelain on the ground had not yet been cleaned up.
"Did my brother have tea when they came?"
Hongdou didn't understand how the topic jumped here, but he remembered Luo Sheng's instructions when he had something to say, and recalled slightly: "The little boy ran away after scolding, but when the eldest cousin quarreled with you, the second cousin poured a cup of tea and persuaded you to extinguish the fire." β
"I drank?"
"Drink itβ" Red Bean reacted with hindsight, "girl, do you think there's something wrong with the tea?" β
Luo Sheng was silent.
Even if there is a problem with the tea, it is still impossible to find out.
Hongdou was still shocked: "There is a problem with the tea, doesn't it mean that the second cousin girl has a problem...... Where did she get the guts to hurt the girl! β
The little maid jumped up and walked out murderously: "The maid is looking for her to settle accounts!" β
"Stop." A faint voice came from behind him.
Hongdou turned around, puzzled: "Girl? β
When is her girl a person who will swallow her anger, she often cleans up on the spot if she makes the girl unhappy.
"Don't startle the snake, and besides, it's just speculation."
It seemed to her that the killing situation was full of flaws, and such speculation was enough to make her take the next step.
She can't be trapped in Jinsha Sheng's house, she has to go to Zhennan Wangfu to have a look.
Take a look at what happened to the home surrounded by the sound of fighting that night.
Luo Sheng was anxious, but he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, and it was serious to solve the mess left by Miss Luo first.
Besides, Luo Sheng stroked his wrist.
The girl's wrists are like frost, and she is the best age.
She was unwilling to die, and she borrowed Miss Luo's body to be reborn to inherit Miss Luo's love.
There is kindness to be repaid, and revenge should be avenged, this is her consistent principle.
Seeing that Luo Sheng was silent, Hongdou was anxious: "Girl, is it just that?" β
Luo Sheng retracted his thoughts and smiled faintly: "Of course it won't be like this, you can't startle the snake, you can lure the snake out of the hole." β
"Lure the snake out of the hole?" Red Bean blinked, his eyes bright, "How to lure the snake out of the hole?" β
At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Cousin, Sister Frost Leaf in the eldest lady's house is here." β
Luo Sheng bowed slightly at Hongdou, and Hongdou immediately shouted, "Call her in." β
Luo Sheng stroked his forehead.
She was motioning for Hongdou to clean up the house, such as at least taking down the white silk hanging on the beam first......
A maid wearing a bean green armor walked in and saw a white silk scream in front of her, almost paralyzing on the ground.
Hongdou crossed his waist and scolded: "What are you howling, what should you do if you scare our girl?" β
Shuangye looked at Luo Sheng sitting at the table, and then looked at the hanging white silk, his lips trembled.
Who scares whom, my cousin is really terrible.
"What's the matter?" Luo Sheng asked.
Shuangye cleaned up her mood, lowered her eyes and said, "Tonight, the master of the house will have dinner together, and the eldest lady will order the maid to come and talk to the cousin." β
"Got it."
Frost Ye bent his knees at Luo Sheng, and after he went back, he described the scene he saw when he entered Luo Sheng's door: "A white silk was hanging in front of the maid's eyes, and the maid's heart and liver were so frightened that they were about to jump out." β
The eldest lady's face was a little ugly: "What is this going to do?" β
Fortunately, this cousin will not come to tonight's family feast, so as not to cause trouble to the children.
Every five days, each room in the Sheng Mansion will get together for a family banquet, Luo Sheng is a guest, although such a family banquet has only been to face once, but the eldest lady in charge of the housekeeper will send someone to invite every time.
The eldest lady's hanging heart was slightly relaxed, and she instructed Shuangye: "Go and tell the two sons, stay away from the cousin in the future." β
I didn't expect the old lady to have plans to give her cousin to her sons, and I knew that it would be better to go to Su's house today to talk about it.
Soon the sun was setting, and Luo Sheng rushed to Funing Hall with red beans.
Jinsha County is located in the south, although it is early spring, Shengfu is full of lush vegetation and spring flowers.
Luo Sheng wore flowers and willows all the way and met four men head-on.
She stood still, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the four.
The eldest cousin is the one who is as tall as a green pine, the second cousin who has a pair of peach blossom eyes and a folding fan, the third cousin who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the fourth cousin who is still childish.
The four of them had visited her once together when she had woken up, and although they had come and gone as if they had been on an errand, she remembered them.
When she woke up, the world was turned upside down, and she had to remember everything she heard and saw.
Luo Sheng bowed slightly and bowed to the four of them.
The four of them froze in place the moment they saw Luo Sheng, and they woke up like a dream when they saw her salute.
The three cousins who came back to their senses hurriedly saluted Luo Sheng, and said in unison: "I have something urgent to go out, so I won't go with my cousin." β
When the words fell, the three of them ran away, and Sheng Saburo didn't forget to drag the young brother who didn't react.
Hongdou opened his mouth wide: "What the hell are the cousins doing?" β
Luo Sheng didn't care: "Don't pay attention to it, let's go." β
The person who saw her and fled probably didn't have the courage to kill, not to mention that Miss Luo didn't show interest in getting involved with her cousin, and the other party couldn't do it.
The four people who ran outside the gate in one breath were panting and frightened.
"Three brothers, there's no need to be scared like this, right?" Sheng Shiro looked puzzled.
The peach-eyed Sheng Erlang knocked Sheng Shilang's head with a gold-painted folding fan: "What does the silly boy know, it will be dark if he is entangled by Cousin Luo!" β
