Chapter XXIV
When the maidservant saw Zhuo Ran, she looked very frightened, and her eyes were uncertain. He didn't even dare to look at Zhuo Ran.
"On the night of your lady's accident, did you notice anything unusual?"
The maid heard Zhuo Ran's question and looked at Su Liang timidly. Su Liang was expressionless at the moment, and just nodded at the maidservant.
"Little..., on the night of the accident, the young lady specially instructed me not to wait in the side room at night."
"Did she mean to break you away?"
"The little maid doesn't know, but these days, the young lady always asks me to rest and serve in the side room, and I don't have to go back to the maid's room to rest."
After speaking, the little maid's eyes were red, and there were sobs in her voice.
"But that night, I didn't have to wait, but just this time, something happened to Miss."
After saying that, the maidservant began to cry. Zhuo Ran looked at the servant, lowered her head and thought for a while and continued to ask.
"On the night of the crime, but you were the first to find out that Miss was missing?"
"Yes, when I left Miss's room that night, Miss's face was not very good, and I was not at ease when I returned to the maid's bedroom, so I returned to Miss's room after midnight, but found that Miss was gone?"
Zhuo Ran looked at the maidservant, as if she was looking for something. Then he took out Su Qian's last letter.
"Who found this letter?"
"It's me, I found Miss missing on the edge of her collapsed bed."
When the servant girl finished answering, her body was still trembling uncontrollably. After hearing this, Zhuo Ran's doubts rose in his heart.
"Now the last question, why do you say that this is me?"
When Zhuo Ran asked this question, he could clearly feel the servant girl's body stunned, obviously affected by this question in his heart.
"This is what the young lady asked me to investigate, knowing that I came into contact with a few members of the Wang family, I knew that the third son of the palace was called Ran..., Ran'er."
When the maidservant spoke, Zhuo Ran's eyes ignored her body for a moment, as if she was looking for something. After a long time, he sighed.
"Brother Su, I have a question now, can I ask you conveniently?"
Su Liang stood aside, listened to Wang Zhuoran's question, and took a sip.
"If you have something, you can ask."
"Did you know your sister is pregnant?"
When Su Liang heard this, his expression was stunned, and then he became incredulous.
"Whose gibberish? My sister is pregnant? ”
Zhuo Ran looked at Su Liang's expression and judged that he was not lying, and suddenly his heart jumped slightly.
Turning his head to look at the maidservant, "Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, you can go and get busy." ”
After watching the maid leave the room, Zhuo Ran continued.
"There are rumors in the streets and alleys of Los Angeles County that Su Qian's death is one corpse and two lives, and there is a fetus in her womb. Such a secret matter, only your Su family should know best, but why do you seem to know nothing about this matter now? ”
Su Liang listened to Zhuo Ran's words, turned his head and looked at Zuo Qingfeng, as if he was seeking something. Zuo Qingfeng saw Su Liang looking at him and nodded, indicating that what Zhuo Ran said was true.
"Hateful, how can my Su family say that they are also big families in Luocheng County, how can they tolerate such shady rumors?"
Zhuo Ran took two steps forward and stared at Su Liang's eyes.
"There is no wind and no waves, and such an unbelievable rumor is not so easy to make up. Unless this person who spreads rumors really knows that Su Qian is indeed pregnant. ”
Su Liang listened to Zhuo Ran's words, and also thought about it, and then sneered.
"Then if you say so, the person who spread the rumors may be you."
Zhuo Ran smiled when he heard it.
"People's actions are purposeful, and if I release such rumors, what will I do? aroused the anger of thousands of people, and then a joint complaint with No. 100 convicted me of the crime? ”
Su Liang listened to Zhuo Ran's analysis and couldn't help but lower his head and think. Indeed, this kind of rumor is very unfavorable to Zhuo Ran.
"Maybe we can think about it the other way around, the purpose of this rumor is to let my Wang Zhuoran return to the abyss of this verbal criticism, and I can't get away with it?"
"So who is the ultimate beneficiary of this rumor?"
Zuo Qingfeng listened to it for a long time, and he also reacted, and slapped the folding fan.
"You mean the murderer?"
"That's right, this rumor is likely to be released by the murderer."
Zuo Qingfeng, who figured out the joint, was a little excited, and Su Liang on the side was also full of surprise.
"That being said, maybe it's a coincidence? You have a bad reputation, maybe someone wants to deliberately aspire to you, right? ”
Zuo Qingfeng's words asked the key.
"It's very simple to prove whether this person who unleashed the rumors is the murderer, an autopsy! See if the deceased is pregnant. ”
Zhuo Ran blurted out directly, making the other two people in the small hall stunned for a while.
"Impossible, no, my sister died in such humiliation, how could she still disturb her rest?"
Su Liang obviously couldn't accept this proposal, and his body took two steps back, but Zhuo Ran was a little pressed at the moment.
"Brother Su, since the deceased has suffered such a great humiliation, we should do our best to find out the real culprit for her. If it could be like this, she wouldn't mind this little inquest. ”
Zhuo Ran began to persuade, but Su Liang was very complicated, and tangled and painful emotions swirled around his face. Zhuo Ran didn't urge, after all, everything he could say had already been said, and it was also his duty to respect the wishes of the deceased's family.
Zuo Qingfeng also showed a look of embarrassment.
"Brother Zhuo Ran, although Tang Law does not prohibit the autopsy of a woman, this kind of thing is really a bit against ethics."
Zuo Qingfeng's words were not wrong, Li Cheng of the county government was at most a preliminary inspection, that is, a simple inspection, and a few visible scars and characteristics were recorded.
And the autopsy proposed by Zhuo Ran is obviously not so simple, if it is like a man's autopsy, it will be difficult. In a way, this is a desecration of the female dead.
Zhuo Ran ignored Zuo Qingfeng's words, but looked at Su Liang. As a modern person, it is difficult for him to understand the conservative ideological imprisonment of ancient times. But he believes in the urgent family mood - to find the real culprit. This should be the same in any era.
After waiting for a long time, finally, Su Liang gritted his teeth and nodded. Zhuo Ran saw it, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Things have developed so far, and it is very important to characterize the evidence through an autopsy for the identification of the murderer.
"Thank you, Brother Su."
Zhuo Ran bowed his waist, and admired this Su Liang's temperament in his heart, if he was to persuade that old man Su at this moment, it would be impossible.
"My sister is arranged to be buried tomorrow, and her eyes are mixed during the day, when you enter the back door of my Su Mansion, I will send someone to pick you up."
Su Liang's expression was very depressed, obviously this decision also made him very uncomfortable.
"Okay, thank you Brother Su for a lot today, I will definitely live up to Brother Su's expectations! Then I'll take my leave. ”
Zhuo Ran saluted again, and pulled Zuo Qingfeng, who was already stupid, to leave.
When Zuo Qingfeng was pulled out of the gate of Su Mansion by Zhuo Ran, he still couldn't understand why Su Liang would agree to Zhuo Ran's such rude request. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Zhuo Ran say.
"Hurry up and send your subordinates to keep an eye on one person, it is Su Qian's personal maid."
Zuo Qingfeng was a little clueless by Zhuo Ran's words.
"Why? What's the matter with that little maid? ”
