Chapter 5: The Warm Bracelet (2)
This is the most widely circulated version, and it is often held by the government. Now that the facts of the case are clear, where does the word 'mystery case' come from? β
"Because this is just what Nanzhuang said when he entrusted me to try the case, back then, for the outside world, overnight, the owner of Nanzhuang died and the eldest lady disappeared, which is indeed a mystery case."
"I heard that the eldest lady of the Nan family has supernatural powers, is the Nan family asking you, a detective, to arrest sinners?"
"Heh, she does have the ability, she chased her for three months and couldn't take her, and then she and Kong Saburo worked together to board the boat she escaped. San Lang was not the head of the family at that time, but he was still a friend of so-and-so, hehe. β
He lowered his head, feeling sad for his former friend.
I asked, "Is the truth that Nanda Lady killed her father by mistake?" β
"It's hard to conclude in the world, since Nanzhuang already knows the murderer, why should he entrust a detective just to catch him, is it just to convince the people of the rivers and lakes? But a certain found her personal belongings at the scene-the white duck bracelet, probably torn off in a dispute with the ancestor of the Nan family, and I have examined the body of the ancestor and died, it was indeed because the skull touched the wall, so I have some faith in Nanzhuang's remarks. β
He used his fingertips to trace the shape of the white duck bracelet, "When I first met the lady of the Nan family, she stood on the deck, her clothes floating, and the green silk fluttered. The sunset on the horizon came into the eyes, as if the red light was rouge, the eyes were shining, and the posture was arrogant, just like the rumored pet. The most beautiful scenery I've ever seen is nothing more than that. β
"You ......" I couldn't see his eyes, but I saw him have a peaceful face when he recalled his first encounter with the eldest lady of the Nan family.
"I can't bear it, but I haven't forgotten the commission of Nanjiazhuang. We drifted at sea for half a month before we landed. Fang got off the boat, and Nanjiazhuang wrote: Please return to the village as soon as possible, and Da Langjun is willing to take Nanjiazhuang as an appointment and be the head of the family with him. I have no reason to join hands with her anymore. β
"Even if he is an adopted son, isn't Nanjiazhuang a rebel?"
"Yes, but the Nan family is in full swing, who dares to criticize? She received the letter, without saying a word, and when she heard that she was going to send her back to the village, she just looked at a certain smile, and her eyes were full of ridicule. When we entered the village, Nanda Langjun greeted him personally, and reprimanded and cared for the eldest lady, and he was a brother who loved his little sister. A certain did not live up to the entrustment and brought back the eldest lady, Nanjiazhuang set up a family banquet to express gratitude, and the eldest lady could not attend due to sin. Half of the feast, the maid came to report ......"
"Ahem!" He coughed lightly.
I hurriedly instructed my attendant to take out the soothing incense and said, "A certain Guanjun has a gloomy face, this soothing incense is the most pure and nourishing spirit, you can try it." β
He waved his hand and called the maid to order, and then continued: "The eldest lady was found guilty in the garden by the patrolling maid, and she rushed to the backyard, and the slave maid had already placed her on the couch in the bedroom. I saw herβher eyes had lost their brilliance, like a flower about to fall, and she struggled to her feet, and threw herself into someone's arms, covered in blood, and wrote the word 'mandarin' in someone's hand. β
"Mandarin ducks?"
Taking advantage of his tea drinking, I asked the question that has always existed in my heart: "Actually, there is a question, mandarin ducks are more than a metaphor for husband and wife to love each other, like-minded friends also have a metaphor, Nan Langjun and Nan Niangzi are brother and sister, even if they are righteous brothers and sisters, on the family tree, they should not wear pairs of mandarin duck rings, why did the owner of Nanzhuang hand over the mandarin duck rings to the two children?" β
He analyzed: "This is the key, in view of Nan Wen's desire to marry the eldest lady, I once doubted whether the ancestor of the Nan family had already planned to let the two get married, after all, the eldest lady is a woman, standing among the men in the rivers and lakes is inevitably weak, if the son-in-law comes to the door, Nanjiazhuang is rich and the master is weak, and he is afraid that the family business will change his surname." β
I echoed: "It's possible to say this, and besides, the people of the rivers and lakes don't pay attention to hypocrisy. β
Listening to this, it can be seen that Mr. knows very little about the ancestors of the Nan family. Nanjiazhuang is based on martial arts, and carries forward the literature with literature, and the ancestors of the Nanjia family are superior in martial arts, and they love Confucianism more, especially the courtesy, even if they are helpless, they will never make this decision to rebel against the norm. As he spoke, the hand on his lap trembled.
I asked, "That's?" β
"Do you know that after the eldest lady was seriously injured, her personal maid found me, and bluntly said that the white duck ring is not a personal thing for the eldest lady since childhood, but only three years ago, and it is not often carried. When the maid had finished crying, she was innocent of her innocence, and went to the garden, where she touched a stone and died. β
I exclaimed, "That's the case, that big man Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Sir should remember: to see the essence of a person clearly, not in childhood, not in life, after gaining power, when you release your desires." He didn't answer me directly.
"Since it wasn't ordered by the Lord, it was Nanwen's own will. What he covets is not only Nanjiazhuang's property, but also Nanjiazhuang's daughter. The Southern Ancestor is Wise I, how can he not see the wolf ambition of the Nanwen thief? It's him! Ahem! He began to cough violently.
The servant on the side stepped forward. "Alang, it's time for you to rest."
He waved his hand and said, "If you don't say it, I'm afraid I'll never have a chance to say it, the truth is unknown, after a hundred years, what face will I have to see the eldest lady?" β
He relented and replied: "Nan Wen is my client, and all my knowledge of the case comes from him, if all possibilities are overturned, is it possible that it was wrong in the first place?" I realized that it was a little late, no, it wasn't too late. β
I saw that one of his blindfolds had darkened, and the dark areas had a tendency to expand.
"Mandarin ducks have always come in pairs, and if there is a duck ring, there should be a mandarin ring. When I saw the duck ring, I thought that the duck ring was the evidence of the cause of death of the southern master, and the mandarin ring must also be the key, I investigated the case for two months, but I have not seen it. Until the eldest lady was injured, Da Langjun hurriedly came, the cuffs were slightly untidy, and when he sealed the eldest lady's heart, he saw the white mandarin ring exposed on his wrist. A certain rummaged through the medicine cabinet to temporarily protect the life of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady fell into a coma and still breathed. On the hilt of the sword on her chest is her handprint, but the blade is not fully entered, and she can't do it with her strength, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows how powerful the lady of the Nan family is, she actually doesn't know martial arts, which was discovered by someone who has been with her for nearly a month. If so-and-so knows, the one who hurt her will not know, or so-and-so will not know. β
He sighed and replied: "Late at night, I got the mandarin duck double ring, and the two were combined into one, which turned out to be the secret key to the last words of the ancestor of the Nan family. β
I suddenly realized and asked, "The successor of the Nan family master is the eldest lady?!" β
