Chapter 624: New Clues

As Qiu Yin spoke, the two stopped frolicking.

Hearing what she said, Ling Shengyi stopped bothering her, got up first and then helped her up.

"You invite Zhu Hou to sit in the lobby for a while. We'll be right here. Ling Shengyi said.

Qiu Yin didn't expect Ling Shengyi to be here. He stammered at first, then ran away quickly.

The prince is inside, you can imagine how hot the picture inside is. But this matter is not trivial, and she can't help but report it.

"Qiu Yin, what are you doing running so fast?" Zhu Xue walked over with hot water and passed by Qiu Yin.

"The prince did not go to court today." Qiu Yin saw that Zhu Xue was going to serve, so she reminded her.

"Then shouldn't I go over at this time?" Zhu Xue hesitated.

"Zhu Hou is waiting for the prince and his wife in the lobby, and they are also going to get up at this time. You used to be just right. Qiu Yin said: "You go to serve first, and I'll report to Zhu Hou and come over." ”

"Okay." Zhu Xue walked to the bedroom with hot water.

By the time Chu Yuqin and Ling Shengyi came out, Zhu Han had already drunk two cups of tea.

If it was usual, Chu Yuqin left marks on Ling Shengyi's neck and the root of her ears last night, she had to cover him with rouge gouache, otherwise how could she have a face?

It's just that if this rouge gouache is not used well and leaves obvious traces of makeup, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here? So she put some thought into making his skin look normal.

"It's been three poles in the sun, and the two of you are really idle." Zhu Hou laughed. "Alright, let's get down to business! I've been trapped by us for a few days, and if I don't investigate and find clues, I will have to resign from the Criminal Department and change to a civilian job. ”

"Brother Zhu, what is the new clue you are talking about?" Chu Yuqin walked over and sat down next to Zhu Han.

Ling Shengyi sat down beside her.

Zhu Han unfolded the painting on the table and tapped the poem in the painting.

"Do you see anything?"

Chu Yuqin looked at it again and again: "I didn't see anything." ”

Ling Shengyi took the painting, looked at the scenery in the painting, and carefully studied the poem in the painting.

"When we first look at it, we all just notice that the poem complements the painting. The poem describes the beautiful scenery in the painting, expressing the poet's appreciation of the beautiful scenery. After you reminded me of this, I found out that this is a hidden poem. ”

"Hidden head poem?" Chu Yuqin came over. "Graceful. What does that mean? ”

"What is Aunt Zhu's grandmother's name?" Zhu Han asked.

"She's an elder in the house, how do I know what her maiden name is?" After Chu Yuqin finished speaking, he looked at Ling Shengyi. "You know what?"

Ling Shengyi shook his head: "But it seems that Zhu Hou knows." ”

"For this case, I investigated the relevant people in the house. Unfortunately, once I found Aunt Zhu's embroidered handkerchief, which happened to have the word 'Wanxin' on it. So I suspect that this Wanxin is referring to Aunt Zhu. Originally, I didn't pay attention to it, but after discovering the hidden poem in this painting, I deliberately investigated Aunt Zhu's past. ”

"Aunt Zhu's grandmother's name is Zhu Wanxin. She was originally the daughter of a pharmacist. Because the pharmacist wanted to curry favor with Lao Guogong, he gave her to Lao Guogong as a concubine. But Aunt Zhu's grandmother already had a lover who was happy with each other at that time, and this person was called Wang Yixian. So the person who made this painting is none other than this Wang Yixian. Look at this picture again...... Does this house look like the Ling Guo Mansion? ”

"When you say that, it seems like that. And the villain outside the room, does it represent Wang Yixian himself? Chu Yuqin pointed to the villain outside the house.

The other party only drew two strokes in a hurry, and if you don't look closely, you can't tell that it is a person at all.

"There were two more people in the house. The other party used very simple and crude brushwork to draw these people. Everyone will be attracted by the beauty of this place, and you will not find these few people. The most important thing is that there is such a mansion in such a beautiful landscape, who would have thought that this is implying the Lingguo Mansion? Zhu Han said.

"Brother Zhu, I still don't understand. Even if the person in this painting is Aunt Zhu's grandmother, and this painting is also painted by Aunt Zhu's old lover. What does this mean? Chu Yuqin said.

"Aunt Zhu's yard is covered with bloodstains and all kinds of flowers and plants. I thought it was suspicious, so I looked it up. Then it was found that Mingxue was already a little delirious before committing suicide and always said strange things. Everyone thought that she was tortured by Zhang Fangsheng, so she became like this. But I found one thing, and that is Mingxue was poisoned. ”

Zhu Han said: "This poison is colorless and tasteless, and no one has found it. If I hadn't opened the coffin again and examined Mingxue's body, I wouldn't have found that her bones were starting to turn black. That's when it was determined that she had been poisoned. ”

"The ordinary flowers and plants in Aunt Zhu's yard usually look very good, but if they are concocted, they can be turned into poison. This can only be used by those who know how to heal.

In addition, Aunt Zhu's grandmother has been widowed for many years, and she has been fasting and chanting Buddha all these years, and only Mingxue was left to serve alone, but now she has left that grandmother to serve. It's not surprising that she likes purity so much. But I found out...... Some of Aunt Zhu's grandmother's things are very delicate. This is not like the behavior of a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha. ”

"What do you mean?" Chu Yuqin didn't understand Zhu Han's hints.

"Hmm......" Zhu Han put his fist to his mouth and coughed. Small clothes. ”

Chu Yuqin: "......"

"A woman with a dead heart with delicate women's objects, and a fine rouge gouache in the room. This is not like what a person who sees through the red dust should look like. Zhu Han said.

"Everyone has a love for beauty. Aunt Zhu and Grandma Zhu were not very old, probably a few years older than Duchess Ling Guo. It's normal for her to still maintain her love for beauty. This doesn't mean much. Unless we find a strong clue that Aunt Zhu killed Ming Xue and Yan'er, we can't make such rash conclusions. ”

"That Wang Yixian was originally a scholar, and he was very smart. It is said that at that time, his master was particularly optimistic about him, thinking that he could make a name for himself. When Aunt Zhu and Grandma were sent to the Lingguo Mansion, Wang Yixian fell seriously ill. Then he vanished. Zhu Han said: "But I always feel that this Wang Yixian is still somewhere." ”

"Isn't Aunt Zhu very popular with Grandpa Guo?" Chu Yuqin said: "For this reason, the old lady still regards her as the number one rival in love. ”

"Aunt Zhu was indeed very favored when she was young. It is said that when he was most favored, his grandfather did not go to other concubines for a year, only went to the old lady on the fifteenth day of the new year. Ling Shengyi said: "It was also at that time that Aunt Zhu's grandmother was pregnant with a child, but she had a miscarriage. After that, the relationship between my grandfather and my grandmother became worse and worse. I love Aunt Zhu's grandmother very much. ”
