Lan Dian guarded Shen Feiming as usual today, watched from a distance what she told Almond to do, and then went back to the room to play the piano. As soon as the sound of the piano sounded, he quickly found cotton and stuffed it into his ears. Shen Feiming didn't seem to be going out today, Lan Dian was the most careless of the four brothers, he looked at Shen Feiming in the mansion today and even settled down, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and the man in black swept over the glazed tiles on the roof of Shen Feiming, or it could be that the people from the rivers and lakes took advantage of Shen Xiang's mansion. But Lan Dian was indeed a little boring, and he saw that the person was so light, not like an ordinary person, he should have been guarding Shen Feiming safely, he actually jumped up and chased after the black shadow.

At this time, a maid knocked on Shen Feiming's room door, handed a sword to Shen Feiming, and said, "Miss." Someone outside the door just asked me to give you this sword. ”

Shen Feiming looked at this sword inexplicably, the hilt was decorated with gems and pearls, shining in the sun, and the sword body was also cold, engraved with stars, sun and moon, and the nobility was striking.

"Who sent it?"

"I don't know." The little maid honestly returned: "The person who delivered the sword seems to be still outside. ”

Shen Feiming walked out of the house with this sword in her hand, this sword looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it. There was no one outside the house, the little guy guarding the door pointed her in the direction of sending the sword man away, she hurriedly caught up, and when she passed through an alley, a handkerchief with a peculiar smell covered her mouth and nose, and the sword also fell to the ground, with a crisp sound of "ding", and then Shen Feiming's eyes were black and he fainted.

Almond followed Shen Feiming's instructions and invited all the people on the list she wrote to the Criminal Department.

The fifth prince happened to come to visit Gu Peiqing again, knowing that Shen Feiming was going to gather everyone to go to the criminal department, and he was interested in going with him, Gu Peiqing thought that Ah Ye was bored to stay in the small courtyard, so he took him with him.

Gu Peiqing entered the lobby of the Criminal Department, in addition to the people from the Criminal Department, there were also Red Silk Girl, Boss Qi, Liu Ya, a middle-aged man with bamboo poles in the herbal medicine shop, a drunken bustard in Chunwei, Boss Xiao who rented a cruise ship, Walnuts, Almonds, Shen Duzhi, Princess Rui and Lord Rui, Gu Peiqing hurriedly saluted, Shen Duzhi is now forty-three, he looks extremely capable, and he knows that he is a capable minister when he looks at his face.

"Why can't Fei Ming come over? She said she already knew the truth of the case. Lord Rui took a sip of tea, and his curious eyes reached out to Gu Peiqing.

Princess Rui also looked strange: "She has always kept the time, why haven't I seen her come yet?" ”

Lord Rui slowly walked towards Gu Peiqing, opened the folding fan to half-cover his face, and said softly: "Lord Gu, do you know the truth of this case?" ”

Gu Peiqing was about to nod, and then thought of Shen Feiming's confident smile when he talked about asking her to reveal the truth, and also whispered: "Let's wait for Feiming." ”

Lord Rui saw that he didn't answer what he asked, but he already had the answer in his heart, and the corners of his lips unconsciously hooked up slightly on his face.

After a stick of incense, Shen Feiming still didn't come, Almond was a little anxious, she approached Walnut, and her tone was worried: "Walnut, I'll go back to the house to see if Miss is in the house, can you go and help me find Miss Qiuyan again?" The two of them summed up and went their separate ways.

The look on the face of Xiao Zhiwei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was not impatient, but panicked, he looked at Lord Rui and Shen Duzhi at the same time, and said anxiously: "Second Miss Shen is not here yet, can't you solve this case today?" Shen Duzhi didn't answer, frowning and thinking, Rui Wang Ye cleared his throat, walked to the middle of the crowd and said: "Actually, Feiming has already discovered the real murderer, and I don't know when she will come, but we gather like this, which may make the real murderer worry and run away in advance." Master Gu knows the whole truth, so it's better to let him solve the puzzle. ”

Everyone looked at Gu Peiqing in unison, he didn't know what to say for a while, he shook the folding fan and shook it, and didn't say a word.

"Gu Qing, if you know, it doesn't hurt to say it. What Lord Rui said is very reasonable, if we disperse like this today, we will already be startled. Shen Duzhi's voice was indifferent, but it carried an irresistible force.

"Yes." Gu Peiqing sighed secretly, so Shen Feiming might have to lose his temper for a while.

"The rumored three murders of the evil star female ghost were indeed committed by the same person, first of all, how the murderers of the three cases committed the murder, the first Zheng Jixiang rode home at night, his neck was cut by a thin blade, and he bled to death. In fact, it was very simple, on the way back, he tied strings to the trees on both sides, which were the strings of the guqin Jinse, which were extremely tough and sharp. It was not clear at night, and everyone was attracted by the gold on his body, and did not see the murder weapon. I also went to see a tree with traces of string binding. Someone took advantage of the chaos to pretend to grab gold from everyone, but actually threw the strings to Zheng Jixiang's side. ”

"So how did the murderer retract the strings of murder? At that time, the government office was about to arrive, and it would be obvious if someone was collecting strings under the tree. Xiao Zhiwei asked.

"The strings are tied in the deserted North Courtyard on that street, and the other side is just a camphor tree around the side of the road, and when Zheng Jixiang dies, the murderer hiding in the North Courtyard only needs to cut the strings short with scissors and then take them back. Taking advantage of the confusion of the people, he came out of the north house. ”

"And what about the second one?" Xiao Zhiwei asked, "Suicide is also man-made?" ”

"That's right, the owner of the herb shop is not a suicide, the red leaf building has the fifth floor, and the herb shop directly opposite has the fourth floor, everyone is drying clothes and sheets on the roof, there are multiple iron rods, there are arcs on it, which is convenient for pulling the line to dry. The murderer used the same tying method to connect the red leaf building with the drying iron rod of the herb shop. The owner of the herb shop went to the Red Leaf Building that night, and his hands were tied to the strings on the roof, and he hung on the strings, and as soon as the murderer pushed, he rowed towards the building of the herb shop, and when he was about to reach the edge of the building, he cut the strings short, and the owner of the herb shop fell to his death. ”

The middle-aged man with bamboo pole widened his eyes and his heart was agitated, he couldn't believe it at all, and asked tremblingly, "How did the murderer tie the strings to our upstairs?" ”

Gu Peiqing shook off the fan, "This question can be answered by my sister who is not drunk, will your girl use this roof to throw sandbags?" ”

The bustard was suddenly asked, and returned in a panic: "Yes, this is one of the few ways for girls to play physically, not only us, but also the girls from other flower buildings, our buildings are so close to each other, and there are also people who throw them into other people's buildings, but the distance between the red leaf building and the pharmacy is still there, and the average girl's house can't throw it over, right?" "Don't look nervous on her face, but you can still ask questions.

"My sister is an understanding person, because it's not an ordinary girl's family." When Gu Peiqing said this, the red silk girl's face sank, as if she understood something.

"In the third case, Xiao Gongzi died when he entered the Red Silk Girl's room, he had been drowned on the fourth floor, someone wore his wet coat into the Red Silk Girl's room, it was night, the candle was burning but I couldn't see clearly that his coat was full of water. Miss Hongsu's bead curtain is very particular, she can only see the face of the person sitting on the wine table drinking, Xiao Gongzi doesn't like to speak, so Miss Hongsi comes according to the old rules. Xiao Gongzi's body was tied up with a rope on the corridor on the fourth floor, and the other end of the rope was also tied with a sandbag and thrown onto the corridor on the fifth floor. Then he hid in the curtain by the window, and when the red silk girl screamed, she came out of the curtain, opened the door, and pretended to come in, but she was wearing Xiao Gongzi's wet clothes before, and the clothes inside should have been wet, so in order not to make people suspicious, she knocked over the basin of water, right? Liu Ya, you came out of Huanyifang, and your strength has always been great. ”

Liu Ya hurriedly knelt down and said, "Is it because I came out of Huanyifang?" The girls who practiced sword dancing also had a lot of strength. ”

"And what the three of them said about the lack of gold, wood, and water, how did the murderer know their birthdays, in those brochures in the lobby of the herbal medicine shop, I found that Zheng Jixiang and Xiao Gongzi had gone there to see a doctor. Uncle, have you seen this maid in Hongye Lou come to your herbal shop? ”

The middle-aged man with the bamboo pole glanced at Liu Ya and said, "I know her, not long after the Red Leaf Building opened, she came to see her illness, and then she had a good relationship with our boss." Our boss looks down on fireworks women, but for such maids, he thinks they are hard-working and serious people. ”

Liu Ya still wanted to quibble, but she seemed to have figured out something, and said prostrately: "That's right, it's me, I killed the three of them." Please surrender your sins. ”

"I haven't finished talking yet, are you so quick to confess your guilt for fear of harming your accomplices?"

Liu Ya's face turned pale, but her tone was still unwavering: "One person does things and one person does things, I don't understand what Master Gu is saying." ”

"You slipped away from the North Courtyard, who threw the strings next to the corpse? Who is the rich lady who asked Zheng Jixiang to come out to discuss the sale of the fruit shop? Who told you that there is no one in Beihu all year round? Who was involved in the decoration of Miss Red's room? When you pressed Xiao Gongzi's head into the bucket on the fourth floor, I think it was impossible for Miss Qiuyan not to hear it. And then there are that strings are very rare, and it is difficult for the people to find them at all, only Miss Qiuyan can find such strings from the workshop. ”

Boss Xiao echoed on the side: "Miss Shen Er came to us to check the rental brochure before, and on the day Zheng Jixiang died, Miss Qiuyan did come to rent a cruise ship. ”

Boss Qi's forehead was frightened into a layer of sweat, and he knelt down tremblingly and said: "My lord, the villains don't know anything about this, they all came out of the palace, and they are very innocent, so they took them in and hired them, the villain really doesn't know all this, please be aware of it." ”

Gu Peiqing wanted to continue, but Shen Feiqing spoke: "Lord Gu really lives up to his reputation, and today is really hard. I also ask the adults of the Criminal Department to convict this woman. Gu Peiqing understood what she meant and let him stop here.
