Chapter 212: Ups and Downs
The spring sun is soft, the mountains are quiet, but the comfortable and luxurious private room, the large room, but silent like the empty valley in the world.
The three of them, two men and one woman, all sat upright on comfortable and flexible rattan chairs, but on the chair where the girl was sitting, there was a large soft cotton cushion, which at first glance was carefully prepared for her.
The soft and bright sunlight illuminates the room even more clearly and brightly, Liu Yunyun nests in the soft big cushions, allowing herself to enter the most comfortable position of this soft chair, watching Zhou Minhao wearing a short shirt lined by his knife-like figure is even more pen, Jun has a consistent indifferent expression on his face, and his fingers lightly tap the desktop, but it is silent.
"I don't agree with what I just proposed." Zhou Minhao opened his mouth gently, looked at Liu Yunyun and shook his head and said: "This matter, you have to deal with it more calmly, after all, the people behind it are not sure, if you are rash, it is easier for them to take advantage of it." ”
Li Molin obviously agreed with Zhou Minhao's proposal, and also looked at Liu Yunyun and nodded.
Liu Yunyun closed her eyes and let out a long breath of turbidity, but her heart was even more sad, although Xiao Taoer said that she was just one of Zhao Enhao's maids, she was a cheap maid, but in the end, it was a human life, it was her mother who was pregnant for ten months, and the child she gave birth to with hard work was raised little by little, although she was sold to the Hou Mansion at a young age because of family problems, but in the end, all this could not erase her right to live, and she could not ignore that a child finally grew up, but was killed and died.
Because of their parents, girls who become slaves and maids should be ignored that they are also raised by their parents? Is it because they want to live a good life that they should be used to death?
Just now, Liu Yunyun proposed, saying that it should be reported to the Criminal Department first, so that Liu Tingting and everyone in Liufu can accept the review of the Criminal Department, even if the reputation is not good, but it is better than being pointed out behind the back, and the Criminal Department should accept the case, to the trial, to the opening of the court, everything is open, let the people comment, let the people see the evidence, see all the procedures of the trial, all open, this is an inevitable process of the development of the judicial process, but also let those people see, The Liu family is not afraid of the determination of public opinion.
However, in the end, this proposal was still too radical and bold, how could Zhou Minhao agree to let the Liu family take this risk?
In this matter, there was a serious difference between Liu Yunyun's thoughts and Zhou Minhao's thoughts of these original indigenous ancient people.
The "legal system" that Liu Yunyun believes is that all ideas that should be judged according to the law whether a person should live or die have been completely overturned.
Zhou Minhao and they felt that, first, this matter was obvious, in order to blame the eldest lady of the Liu family; Second, the meaning of the person behind it is obviously to put pressure on the Jian'an Hou Mansion, as for the source of this pressure, the most obvious thing is naturally related to the marriage of the prince Zhao Enhao; Third, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and at this time it should be dealt with in a constant response to all changes, and cold treatment is obviously much better than fierce defense; Fourth, the one who died this time was a girl, her status was not high, she had no status, and she didn't need to make a big deal for her.
This is ancient times, this is the thinking of ancient people whose thoughts are imprisoned, whose horizons are not broad, and whose world view cannot be fully formed, a little grievance, a little thought, who will take "human life" as a bargaining chip at every turn, and who will be killed and chopped at every turn, as big as the whole society, iron cavalry and soldiers, as small as a backyard of a house, and women can easily kill a few girls and slaves in order to fight for face and favor, etc., this kind of extreme view is actually a kind of mental disability after the brainwashing of the whole people.
What to do?
Liu Yunyun couldn't think of any powerful words to refute it, the disability of the mind is not something that can be changed overnight, but through hundreds of years, or even thousands of years of civilization evolution, even the people of the Great Heavenly Dynasty in the previous life could not be completely cured of the mental disability, how can the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty be asked to realize it?
The feeling of powerlessness spread all over her body, Liu Yunyun hung her head, and her heart was desolate, but she could only resist silently.
"Alas...... Yun Yun, don't do this, there is no way to do it, at this time, the prince's wedding is imminent, if we go to investigate this case with great fanfare at this time...... Think about it......" Zhou Minhao sighed, reached out and took Liu Yunyun's hand, watching her rub and comfort.
Zhou Minhao glanced at Li Molin, Li Molin received his instructions, and hurriedly followed suit: "What His Royal Highness said is, Yunyun, you have to focus on the overall situation. ”
"I see." Liu Yunyun nodded helplessly, she knew and understood that it was indeed difficult to deal with this matter according to her thoughts at this time.
"What does Zhao Shizi mean? What about the Marquis of Jian'an? What about Madame? Does my sister know about this? There is also Sister Sun, but do you know? Have you sent someone to keep an eye on the Sun family? Liu Yunyun cheered up, raised her head, looked at Zhou Minhao and asked.
"Zhao Enhao's meaning couldn't be more obvious, otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped talking about the mother-in-law at the first time, as for the Hou Ye and Mrs., he will naturally have to discuss it with them, your sister's matter, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to get out, but you don't have to worry, Zhao Enhao is not the kind of person who is easy to be bullied, since your sister already has the premise of discussing with the Hou Mansion of Jian'an, the responsibility of protecting her naturally is Zhao Enhao, since you gave me the letter, I have already sent someone to keep an eye on the Sun Mansion, Sun Zhixiang, I don't have a wide range of friends, and the places I go to on weekdays are very limited, and it is not difficult to control it, but Xiao Taoer's business is obviously not done by Sun Zhixiang. Zhou Minhao patiently answered Liu Yunyun one by one.
Liu Yunyun nodded absentmindedly.
This thing is too strange, although the calculation is rough, but in the end, it can be seen that it has been carefully planned, who is it? General Zhenguo? It's unlikely, his current mind should be on the pregnant concubine, besides, there is also the Eighth Highness, he doesn't need to provoke the Jian'an Hou Mansion at this time, let the Jian'an Hou Mansion and the Liu family have a grudge, it will not be good for him, General Wu? Liu Yunyun shook her head in her heart, who else? ……
"I want to see Peach's body." Liu Yunyun's eyes burned, staring at Zhou Minhao, and made her request, "I have to go and see her corpse." ”
Li Molin turned his head to look at Zhou Minhao, he also wanted to see the corpse, as the governor of the Terracotta Division, under his nose, such a big thing happened, it could really be said that the man slapped him in the face fiercely, and he could even hear the crisp sound of "popping" when he was slapped.
Zhou Minhao looked at Liu Yunyun's resolute gaze that he could not refuse, hesitated for a while, and then reluctantly agreed: "You can see it, but you must obey my arrangement, you can't go your own way, you can't be smart, and you can't do anything against our agreement." As for your ......" Zhou Minhao turned his face to look at Li Molin, who was also looking at him with burning eyes, and thought to himself that he was worthy of being a cousin, there are some things, it is really ...... It's too similar, "You also have to listen to the command, you are responsible for assisting Zhao Shizi, he himself is from the Criminal Department, this case, naturally he will take over, you brothers and sisters...... Alas, forget it, Li Molin, you are responsible for watching your cousin, but you can't let Yunyun make any trouble. ”
Li Molin simply should be, but he thought to himself, what can I do if you can't manage the affairs of the two princes?
Zhou Minhao did not let Liu Yunyun go back to Liufu, but let her follow him to have lunch in Xianglou, Li Molin left Xianglou early, he still has official business, naturally it is impossible to stay for a long time.
After lunch, Liu Yunyun didn't have much of the heart to take a nap, she asked Zhou Minhao to find a pen and paper and start drawing by herself.
The afternoon sun was lazy and mild, and Zhou Minhao was half-lying on the recliner by the window with a fold and watching.
Liu Yunyun was lying on the table next to her and painting seriously, the window was wide open, the light was hazy and not dazzling, and the corners of the table were piled up with folds that Zhou Minhao had seen, stacked on top of each other, and Liu Yunyun threw a few pieces of discarded rice paper at her elbow, which looked a little messy.
"What are you drawing?" Zhou Minhao's voice sounded from behind him.
Liu Yunyun was so frightened that she turned her head and tilted her neck, glanced at Zhou Minhao, who had gotten off the recliner at some point, and walked behind her.
"When you walk, you can't make a sound, can you? Cat reincarnation, you! I don't know that people can be scared to death? Liu Yunyun gave him a blank look, and then turned back to re-examine what she had drawn.
Zhou Minhao smiled, not angry, as if he was used to being murdered by Liu Yunyun with words, took her shoulder, sat on the chair next to her, put his head close to the rice paper, looked at it, and guessed: "Are you painting the crime?" ”
Liu Yunyun made a plain face, nodded, and said in a calm voice: "Well, we have to summarize the existing information, so that when we look at Xiao Tao'er's corpse again, we can find out the information we want more accurately." ”
"Look at you, even when I appeared from behind you just now, you can be startled, this look at Xiao Tao'er's corpse, are you really not afraid?" Zhou Minhao looked at Liu Yunyun's side face and said worriedly.
Liu Yunyun would look at him, quickly kiss him on the lips, and then picked up the drawn rice paper, pointed to the details and said: "People are scary, Xiao Tao'er has passed away, even if she is wronged, the bardo body will not disperse, she will only be trapped in the place where she died, and will not follow her body freely, the pain of the bardo body is not something that people like us who have degraded bodily functions can see, alas...... I just hope that we can find the person behind the scenes as soon as possible and stop him from continuing to do evil as soon as possible. Come and see ......"
Liu Yunyun moved the chair to Zhou Minhao's side again, bringing the two closer together, and continued: "The time of Xiao Tao'er's death, according to the results of the autopsy, should have been in the middle of the night yesterday, I also think it is reasonable, otherwise, the smell of blood and water will never be so fresh and pungent, Xiao Tao'er's fingers are almost neatly cut off, but the fingers are not placed in that box, which is a little strange, if they can sneak into Liufu and hide those fingers in a corner of Liufu, can also indicate that it was my sister who killed or someone in Liufu killed someone, then, the purpose of this murderer is clear, but, according to Zhao Wu's report, in all the eyeliner of Liufu, I have not seen a stranger or a person in the mansion have suspicious behaviors, then, the most likely thing is that the fingers are not complete, it may have been lost when carrying the corpse again, or there was something in it, which caused the person to not have time to place those fingers neatly. ”
Liu Yunyun raised her head and said seriously: "According to the man's action of cutting the corpse, it is obviously slight." Obsessive-compulsive disorder', this is a behavioral characteristic caused by his own psychological pleasure when he kills, and it can also be seen that at the moment when he kills, he has a very strong psychological pleasure, and this pleasure leads to him not deliberately trying to figure out my sister's behavior and habits, and it may be that he doesn't know my sister in the first place, so he simply takes it for granted that this is the case with girls killing people, but in the process of cutting, he followed his own psychological direction. ”
Zhou Minhao's mouth was upturned because Liu Yunyun took the initiative to kiss him, but with Liu Yunyun's analysis, it gradually flattened, and when he heard the back, it was already a little downward.
However, thinking of another level, Zhou Minhao squinted his eyes, hugged Liu Yunyun tighter, and asked in an indistinct voice: "How did you think of this?" How do you know so much about the mindset of a murderer? Also, What is OCD? ”
"It's called behavioral analysis, you know, I don't like to read, especially serious books, but, when I was a child, I didn't have any entertainment, so I could only read books in the house to pass the time, I like to read, one is a book on feng shui numerology, but, once it comes to the number of techniques, I can't, even if it doesn't come to the problem of mathematics, in one, it's some psychological books, I gave them a name, called behavioral psychology, in fact, it's the mysterious weird talk you say, as for saying, Obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is also a kind of psychological distorted behavioral reaction of people, corresponds, as well as depression, bipolar disorder, or others. ”
Liu Yunyun gently stroked Zhou Minhao's face and said with a smile: "Don't think you're normal, didn't you tell me that you are disgusted when you see other women?" If you don't manage it in time, it is likely to become more and more serious as you get older, and at the worst time, it may affect your normal life. ”
"What am I afraid of?" Zhou Minhao's face was full of indifference, "It's enough for me to have you, as long as you are always by my side, I'm afraid that I won't be able to relieve it in the future?" ”
Liu Yunyun: "......" this kid is not serious again.
Liu Yunyun seemed to think of another layer, looked at Zhou Minhao, and said in a heavy voice: "I suspect that Xiao Tao'er is not the first woman to be killed by him, there should be someone killed before Xiao Tao'er dies, although we haven't seen the corpse yet, but I feel that that person's method is not like the first time." ”
After Liu Yunyun finished speaking, she pursed her mouth tightly, and between Zhou Minhao's handsome eyebrows, there was heavy deep thought.
With the passage of time, the sun has slowly tilted down, and the afterglow of ups and downs corresponds to the ups and downs of life.
Life is so fragile, but life is so tenacious.
Zhao Enhao sent to pick up Liu Yunyun's carriage, comfortable and low-key, Liu Yunyun did not bring any subordinates, Xiao Duoer had been sent back to Liufu by Zhao Wu as early as after lunch, the piece of paper she drew in the afternoon had been put away by Zhou Minhao, at this time, she was the only one in the carriage, Zhou Minhao had already beaten her half an hour before her to go to the criminal department.
According to speculation, Liu Yunyun felt that the mother-in-law who couldn't wait to confess that Liu Tingting was the messenger must not know the real murderer, but she is a rare key witness, Zhao Enhao should have experience in dealing with witnesses, even if Zhao Enhao doesn't have it, the Marquis of Jian'an must also have it, so she doesn't need to worry about this, but what is missing? Liu Yunyun always felt that a very important detail was missing from her analysis.
The carriage quickly stopped, and Zhao Enhao personally picked up Liu Yunyun at the door of the Criminal Department.
It is rare to see the beautiful Zhao Shizi when he has such a serious expression.
"Don't look at me like that, let you see that kind of scene early in the morning, this prince promises, your face is definitely even uglier than my current one." Zhao Enhao glanced at Liu Yunyun, who had been staring at him, and said sarcastically.
Hehe, it's all at this time, and it's still machismo.
Liu Yunyun didn't bother to argue with him, this kid was really stimulated today, so it's better to be kind to yourself.
"You...... Sad? "In terms of the relationship between men and women, Liu Yunyun must be partial to her sister, if Xiao Tao'er lives well, maybe Zhao Enhao really doesn't take her seriously, but now, the person is gone, and she is still so miserable, it is inevitable that Zhao Enhao will always have such a woman who has been with him for many years in his heart.
If this is really the case, then it is really unfair to Liu Tingting.
Zhao Enhao paused, his face was a little ugly, and he continued to walk, but he said in a low voice as if he was holding his breath: "I know what you mean by asking, you don't need to test me, my heart for Tingting, the sun and the moon can be seen, Xiao Tao'er has been with me for so many years, to be honest, I didn't love her, and I chose her to be a room at that time, too...... It's a logical thing, she has a straight temper, her heart and eyes are on her face, she is easy to control, she won't cause trouble for me, she is still a woman, she looks passable, that's enough, she doesn't need too much, but in the end, ......" Zhao Enhao seemed to choke up, made a slight grunt in his throat, closed his eyes, calmed down, and continued: "After following me for so many years, serving for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, and the work is also diligent, and suddenly a living person around him is not there, Just broke his neck and stood in front of me...... Who can be comfortable in your heart? ”
Liu Yunyun lowered her eyes and nodded.
