Chapter 019: Who's the Real Murderer
She looked around and turned her head to look at Fu Pingyuan and Shen: "Father, mother, my daughter thinks that until the real murderer is found, everyone in the dining hall is not allowed to leave here." ”
Fuping is far away, he has been an official for many years, and he has a lot of experience in investigating and handling murder cases: "It should be so." ”
Mama Zhu's eyes rolled, her neck turned red and said: "The Guogong Mansion is run by the eldest lady, and Hongyu is the person sent to Haitian Courtyard by the eldest lady, so if something happens, the eldest lady should come to decide." ”
"Mama Zhu, you are now the housekeeper of the second room," Shen's cold gaze fell on her, "You keep saying that the eldest lady decides, do you put me, the second lady, in your eyes?" ”
Mama Zhu pretended to be frightened on her face, but her eyes flashed with disdain, and she still refuted herself: "The slave maid is for the good of the second room, and I also ask the second lady to see it." ”
Shen pulled his lips: "Even if it is for the sake of the second room, just wait on the side, don't delay the investigation." ”
Fu Yuanyuan glanced at Yinbao, Yinbao cleverly stepped forward and pulled Mama Zhu away, and when she saw that Mama Zhu wanted to speak again, she simply clicked on her dumb and threw her on the bench on the side.
"Even if it is poisoned, there must be traces to follow."
Fu Pingyuan didn't want to go back to the house for a long time before someone died, frowning and glancing at the house, the usual little guys around him were all in the front yard, and if he wanted to investigate, he had to call someone over.
"Let Si Qi and Yinbao check the food bowls and chopsticks used by Hongyu first," Shen shook Fu Pingyuan's hand, "See if there is any poison left." ”
Both Si Qi and Yinbao know medical skills, and they also have a good understanding of poison.
The two men were ordered to go up and investigate.
Not only were the people in the dining hall not allowed to leave, but the subordinates in various places in the Haitian Courtyard were also detained in the middle of the courtyard by Mo Qin and the other three big girls, and they were not allowed to leave without permission.
After a stick of incense, Si Qi and Yinbao walked over.
"Mrs. Hui, no poison was found in the diet." Si Qi bowed, and then looked at Yinbao.
Yinbao wrapped a cup with a silk handkerchief in his hand: "Madam, the poison is in this teacup." ”
Everyone was shocked, and Shen hurriedly asked, "Is this the teacup used by Hongyu?" ”
In her previous life, she had never discovered this truth, and at that time, the eldest lady led people to search around, and she never sent anyone to verify it.
A second-class maid stepped forward to respond, and the cup that Yinbao was holding was indeed used by Hongyu.
"When you eat in the dining room, but everyone has their own cup?" Fu Yuanyuan asked.
"Back to the second girl, the cups are all shared," said the second-class maid hurriedly, "and tea was brewed at lunchtime, and each person put a cup on the table." ”
"Who's in charge of making tea?"
"This is uncertain, whoever gets it will rush." The maid hesitated.
"Then who made the tea today?" Shen frowned.
The maids looked at each other, and after a while, one of them said, "It seems that I have entered the dining room today, and the tea is already on the table." ”
"Qing'er was the last to come in," the maid who spoke had a good memory, "I remember that Hongyu was hungry and complained that Qing'er was too slow. ”
The heavy stone in Shu Sanniang's heart was slightly lowered, and Qing'er sat on the bench.
"Since the tea has already been brewed before entering the dining room," Fu Yuanyuan speculated, "then there are only two possibilities." The first is that the poison in the tea has been laid before everyone comes in, so this person will definitely take Hongyu to the place where the poisoned tea is placed and sit down. Is there such a thing? ”
The maid thought about it carefully, and there was a humane on the side: "Hongyu has been crying out for a long time that she is hungry, and she is the first to enter the dining hall for dinner today." ”
The reminiscing maid nodded again and again.
"If that's the case," Fu Yuan said, "it's very likely that the poison was laid after everyone sat down." ”
The maids looked at each other for a moment.
"Li'er and Qing'er sat next to Ruby," said the maid, "but because Ruby has just got a beautiful bracelet, everyone went to see it during the meal." ”
In other words, everyone is suspicious.
Just as he was about to speak, Mo Qin hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Shen's ear.
Shen's face sank and looked at Fu Pingyuan: "Husband, the concubine goes out to have a look." ”
"I'll go with you."
Fu Pingyuan took Shen's hand: "Manman, you continue to check here, you don't have to wait for your father." ”
Fu Pingyuan walked to the gate of Haitian Courtyard with Shen, and the eldest maid Zhishu and Xiaohua were stopping in front of the door.
The eldest lady rushed with a group of mother-in-law and servants, and when she saw Shen and Fuping coming out, the corners of the eldest lady's lips hooked: "Second brother, second brother and sister, sister-in-law heard that Hongyu had an accident and immediately brought someone to help, but what happened to these two maids?" How dare you stop your master? ”
"That's what I meant."
Fu Pingyuan shook Shen's stiff hand and took a step forward: "Sister-in-law, there is a maid poisoned in Haitian Courtyard, in order to ensure that the real culprit is found out as soon as possible, a cadre and others are not allowed to enter and leave Haitian Courtyard at will." ”
The eldest lady eased her expression, and her eyebrows rolled, "Can you find out the real murderer?" ”
"Not yet."
"Since it is poisoned, there must be traces to follow." The eldest lady looked familiar, "The first thing is to find evidence, detain the suspects and others, and search where they live, and you will definitely find clues." ”
"My sister-in-law said it so firmly, it really made my younger brothers and sisters admire."
The eldest lady smiled gently: "I have been in charge of the Guogong Mansion for many years, and I always have some experience. ”
Shen tugged at the corners of his mouth, looking curious: "My brother and sister have a doubt." ”
"Brother and sister, please speak."
"After the accident in Haitian Courtyard," Shen stared at the eldest lady, "for fear that the suspect would escape, my younger brother and sister asked the courtyard to be cordoned off, and no one ever went out." ”
"How did my sister-in-law know that something happened to our Haitian Courtyard? How do you know that the person who happened is Ruby? ”
As soon as these words came out, Fupingyuan's pupils shrank suddenly.
And the eldest lady Liu suddenly coughed lightly uncomfortably: "The sister-in-law happened to pass by the Haitian Courtyard, and when she saw that the courtyard door was closed in the daytime, she wanted to come over and have a look." ”
"As for the red jade, it is to listen to the mother-in-law who guards the courtyard gate."
Shen looked at Liu's cramped uneasiness, didn't bother to say anything, and only responded casually.
Although Liu was embarrassed, he quickly straightened his face: "Human life is at stake, and my sister-in-law is in charge of the Guogong Mansion, so I still have to take care of it in person." Can the second brother understand the sister-in-law's intentions? ”
Fu Pingyuan bowed lightly: "Thank you, sister-in-law." However, the situation is being traced inside, and the sister-in-law can only bring one person in at most. ”
Liu wanted to say it again, raised his eyes and saw Fuping's bottomless eyes, withdrew the words in his mouth, and nodded: "It should be like this." ”
The group returned to the dining room.
Ziyu, who heard it, screamed: "It's not a slave!" Slaves and maids are wronged! ”
Liu Shi was startled, stepped into the dining room quickly, glanced at Mama Zhu who was crooked in the corner and screaming silently, and saw Ziyu with her hands tied and tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but be angry: "What are you doing here?" ”
She turned her head to look at Shen: "Brother and sister, how do you take care of the inner house?" Why is it so inconvenient and framed? ”
