Chapter 3: The Case of the Palace Maid (3)

According to Gu Peiqing's request, Fei Lan called the post chief, Ah Chai, Xiao Ran, He Qing, Zhou Chengzuo and a few guards to the wing where Yun Niang was hanged.

"Lord Gu has solved this case?" Feilan asked.

Gu Peiqing put his hands behind his back, looking like he was in his chest, "That's nature." First of all, I would like to thank Miss Hongsi for reminding her, she thought that Yun Niang did not commit suicide, although the two points she mentioned before were speculations, and there was no definite evidence, but Zhou Yanzuo told me that Yun Niang had ecstasy in her body, just imagine how a person who took ecstasy hanged himself? ”

"Now we have a few questions, how did the first Yunniang get to the upper class? The second Yun Niang died after the time, but at that time the upper wing room was already guarded by the guards, how did the murderer escape? ”

"Let's talk about how the murderer killed Yun Niang, Yun Niang drank the lotus seed porridge yesterday with ecstasy. So after he waited for Yun Niang to faint, he carried Yun Niang to the upper room. Then hang up the white silk, move the table under the white silk, put two fruit wood stools, put two fruit wood stools on the fruit wood stool, and carry Yun Niang up, one side of the fruit wood stool against her shoulder, the other side against her buttocks, put the white silk into Yun Niang's neck, at this time maintained a balance, only when Yun Niang woke up, after the drug, he was still delirious, and did not understand the situation he was in, and the balance was broken after a little movement, and the fruit wood stool also fell, and Yun Niang was hanged like this. ”

The post chief asked, "What evidence does Master Gu have for this reasoning?" ”

Gu Peiqing walked to the window and said, "Let's see first, what hit the beak of this bird on the windowsill?" The post chief leaned over and nodded, Gu Peiqing picked up a fruit wood stool again and said, "Look at this trace, did the stool hit something?" You can compare these two imprints. ”

"But we don't know if the marks on the bird's beak and the stool are new or have been there?" The postmaster still didn't want to believe it.

"Then there is another evidence that the floor of the upper wing room is covered with blankets, the table has not been moved for many years, and the indentations on the carpet are exceptionally clear. Now look under this table, all four indentations are exposed, because yesterday the murderer was in too much of a hurry to restore the table to notice this. ”

At this time, the red silk girl stood up, "And yesterday the table was placed under this white silk, and the four fruit wood stools on it plus Yun Niang's weight will actually leave indentations on the blanket." She pointed to a place and said, "You can come and touch it, this is it." ”

The postmaster touched it and nodded in surprise. Gu Peiqing stretched out her index finger and tapped on the head of the red silk, and said, "The red silk girl is also extremely smart." Fei Lan looked at this scene with an intriguing expression.

"This adult man with a little strength can complete such an arrangement, and please ask Lord Gu to point out who the murderer is." The county magistrate, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"After Yun Niang's death, the table and stool still need to be put in place. And the people who have been to the wing room at night are me, Red Silk Girl, Ah Ye, Feilan's father-in-law, and Ah Chai. Gu Peiqing stared at Ah Chai with a pair of eyes, and at this time he had shrunk into a ball, trembling, and stammered: "It's not... No... I. ”

"Ah Chai said that he called a few words at the door, and then the door suddenly opened a small crack, he decided to go in and check, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Yun Niang's body, but like this?" Gu Peiqing asked.

The rest nodded, and the postmaster said, "That's exactly what he said last night. ”

"So the guards who were on duty last night are here?"

"The subordinates are here." The two men came out in unison.

"Did you see him knock on the door last night, or did you hear only a voice?"

"Back to my lord, we stayed in the stairwell last night, checked the snacks he brought up, and let him go up. Then I heard him ask if he needed a snack, followed by a loud scream. ”

"Because he's pretending to be on the scene of recovery at the same time."

"And the ecstasy in the lotus seed porridge given to Yun Niang was also put by you, you deliberately went to the back kitchen to find Xiao Ran, and put the ecstasy in while everyone was not paying attention."

Xiao Ran's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, but there was still a glimmer of hope in her voice: "But that was when he arrived in the back kitchen to know that the bowl of lotus seed porridge was given to Yun Niang, how did he prepare the ecstasy." ”

"Because he has been carrying ecstasy with him, the post station has already learned the news that we will come, so he is ready to start when there are many people and chaos, and always prepare ecstasy to act when the opportunity arises, even if it is not the bowl of lotus seed porridge, it will also be placed in Yun Niang's other foods, but the amount of it is different according to the time. Then when the officials were waiting for us to arrive, there was no one in the hall, and he took advantage of this time to carry Yun Niang up to the fourth floor. ”

"I didn't," Chai repeated.

"I picked up the Ecstasy you threw away last night, guess what it fell with?" Gu Peiqing showed a wicked smile, and the young man in front of him seemed to be his funny toy.

Ah Chai suddenly put away his pitiful look, a cold air appeared in his eyes, and said: "Master Gu is really worthy of his reputation, but you never thought about the consequences of doing this, you will regret it." The young man suddenly laughed, and everyone was shocked, only Xiao Ran was crying. He jumped to his feet, pushed open the window in an instant, and jumped down.

Feilan's father-in-law looked suspicious, Gu Peiqing pursed her lips, the red silk girl didn't have much emotional change, and she was thinking about something.

The two teams began to move slowly again. In Gu Peiqing's carriage, the red silk girl was staring at him, Ah Ye picked the curtain and looked down, even if he didn't know much about this person's sophistication, he also felt the electric light and flint in the sight of the two, as if it was a revenge to destroy the door. "Come on, let's find out." Gu Peiqing opened the box, and the two of them took a note at random and opened it, both of which were written with the word "Ah Chai".

Gu Peiqing pulled out a bamboo fan from a few clicks, and suddenly approached Hongsi's face and said, "I'm quite good at guessing." His eyes were full of playfulness.

The red silk girl took the lead, put her hand on his hand, and said with a smile: "I have a good heart with Gu Lang. ”

Gu Peiqing was stunned for a moment, pulled his hand out, and his face was slightly red, but fortunately, the light was insufficient, and Hongsi didn't see his momentary embarrassment clearly.

"Master Gu, have you forgotten that I, Hongsi, is not a woman from a good family."

"By the way, Master Gu, you said that you found the ecstasy discarded by Ah Chai, and what else is it with, what is it?" Red Silk abruptly changed the subject.

Gu Peiqing hurriedly coughed, pretending to be casual and said, "That's just me talking nonsense, in fact, there is already panic in his eyes." We found out that Yun Niang did not commit suicide, and he would also be busy destroying evidence. Although this case has been solved, it is not simple for Yun Niang and He Qing. In March, there are impatiens, and it is estimated that there is a basement where ice cubes are stored. It also needs to buy ice cubes, which is not cheap, and the two of them at the post station will not be so rich anyway. And every month, Kuaima will go back to his hometown? It's enough to go to the city and merge it. And Red Silk Girl, you've been to Yun Niang's small room twice, what did you find? ”

Hongsi suddenly put her index finger on his lips, and Gu Peiqing was completely stunned, "Master Gu, don't say it, don't get angry." Her voice was soft, soft, and fell into his ear.

Her eyes met his, and they were all stunned, and immediately looked away. "I mean, in short, Master Gu just needs to take care of his own affairs. I'm gone, I'm gone, and since we have the same name written, then there is no win or loss in this bet, and we don't owe each other. ”

As soon as she got up and was about to ask Ah Ye to stop the car, she saw a few times drop out of the book. She went to pick up the book, "The Legend of Cangzhi National Chronicles (Volume 1)". "You like to watch this?" She asked Gu Peiqing.

Gu Peiqing took out another copy from a few small days, "It's just a little hobby." ”

"Lend me a look, I like these. Do you know Mengye Jushi, he wrote "The Encyclopedia of Demons and Ghosts", and recently he has been serializing the story of a scholar and a spirit teaming up to solve a case. ”

"Of course, many of the strange novels written by Mengye have been changed into drama books."

"Let me tell you, I have a sister who has been arguing with me, and she thinks that the murderer in Mengye Jushi's latest book "Book from Heaven" is the one..."

Suddenly, Ah Ye poked his head in, "Red Silk Girl, Feilan's father-in-law has something to do with you." ”

"Got it, we'll talk next time." Hongsi waved her hand at Gu Peiqing, Ah Ye stopped the carriage, and she jumped out of the carriage like a happy bird. Father-in-law Feilan brought a chestnut horse over at this time and said, "Please get on the horse." "The chestnut horse has a well-proportioned structure, a small and sharp head, and must be the best of the best.

Gu Peiqing watched her jump onto the chestnut horse, and Feilan's father-in-law also got on his black royal horse, and the two walked towards the front of the team as they spoke.

"Ah Ye, Feilan's father-in-law seems to really appreciate the red silk girl, first prepared a first-class wing room for her, and now let her ride such a good horse."

"Master Gu, don't you know, before the death case happened last night, I went to fetch water for you, and Boss Qi was chatting with a guard in that hall, and he said that Boss Su didn't want the Red Silk Girl to go to the city, but the King of Chuan named the Red Silk Girl, and I didn't hear it too clearly, probably because the King of Sichuan wanted the Red Silk Girl to be his concubine."
