"She's lying."

Zhuo Ran walked forward quickly, and at this moment the light rain in the sky had stopped, and the figure of the sun was actually revealed in the shallow dark clouds.

"That little maid is quite normal, where is she lying?"

Zuo Qingfeng couldn't keep up with Zhuo Ran's pace.

"Why are you walking so fast?"

"Su Qian's letter has obvious suicidal tendencies, and there are only a few ways for Miss Shen to commit suicide, one of which is to hang herself."

After all, Zuo Qingfeng's physique was stronger than Zhuo Ran, and he finally caught up with Zhuo Ran.

"I said, what are you looking at when you move a chair and stare at someone's beams? How can this show that the servant girl is lying? ”

"Traces." Zhuo Ran's heart was a little messy at the moment, but the clues he got during the trip to Su Mansion all pointed to one person.

"Do you mean the marks on the beams?"

"Yes, I've found more than two traces of the rope rubbing against the prism. That is, Su Qian has tried to commit suicide many times, and her intention to die is so resolute, but why did she not succeed once? ”

Zhuo Ran's words, Zuo Qingfeng also understood.

"You mean they were all stopped by that servant?"

"Yes, as the servant girl said, until the night before the accident, Su Qian's every move was in her eyes. It is not difficult for her to stop Su Qian's suicide in time. ”

After listening to this, Zuo Qingfeng still felt a little puzzled.

"You say there's a loophole? A young lady will be subject to a servant? ”

Hearing Zuo Qingfeng's doubts, Zhuo Ran's face was a little unpleasant, "What if this servant girl is the murderer's accomplice?" The most important thing for a woman is the reputation of chastity, if this maid makes a fuss about Su Qian's unclean body, she Su Qian takes care of her own face, and she is likely to be subject to her. ”

After listening to Zhuo Ran, Zuo Qingfeng already knew in his heart, "It's hateful, there is such a subordinate, it is simply unreasonable." ”

Zhuo Ran's feelings at this moment are actually the same as Zuo Qingfeng's, but the key at the moment is another matter.

"Hey, Brother Zhuo Ran, where are you going to go so fast?"

Zuo Qingfeng was surprised at the moment, and Zhuo Ran could still run so fast with shackles. Zhuo Ran didn't pay attention to him anymore, and his heart was in turmoil.

After passing through a downtown area and a market, the two arrived at the destination of their trip.

"The palace? Brother Zhuo Ran, why are you in such a hurry to come back? ”

"Is the rubbing of that shoe print still on you?" Zhuo Ran stopped his body, panting slightly, and there was a faint tingling sensation on his ankle, which seemed to be the wound torn open again.

"It's on me, why do you want this?"

There were two servants of the royal palace guarding the door, and when they saw them, they bowed and saluted. He stroked his chest to calm himself down as much as he could.

"Where is Big Brother now?"

"Back to the third young master, the business of the cloth village has been left behind in a few days, and the eldest young master is busy counting the silk cloth purchased in the cloth village."

Zhuo Ran didn't hesitate anymore after hearing this, and stepped into the palace. Through memory, following the bluestone road, it is to go around into the courtyard. Zuo Qingfeng kept asking Zhuo Ran, but Zhuo Ran ignored him.

It wasn't until in a courtyard that Zhuo Ran stopped.

"Give me a rubbings of the footprints."

Zuo Qingfeng hadn't reacted yet. "Whose yard is this?"

And Zhuo Ran took the rubbing and stepped into the courtyard, and pushed the door of the house straight open.

Zuo Qingfeng also followed, and saw that the room was full of landscape calligraphy and paintings. Zhuo Ran bypassed a screen and entered the back room, only to find a cloth shoe.

At this moment, his heart was beating wildly, and he compared the cloth shoes with the rubbing of the footprints with his still trembling hand, and Zuo Qingfeng also came in.

"This is Brother Wang Ran's room? What are you doing here? Zuo Qingfeng looked at Zhuo Ran comparing the shoe prints, and he was also shocked in his heart.

"Are you suspicious of your eldest brother?"

The cloth shoes are covered on the rubbing, but they are so smaller, and according to the extra bottom edge of the straw sandals, it is still much smaller. Finally, Zhuo Ran let out a long sigh of relief.

"I don't doubt it for now." Zhuo Ran ignored the mess, sat on the ground, and looked at the rubbing.

Zuo Qingfeng picked up the cloth shoes and compared them, "Why do you suspect Brother Wang Ran?" ”

Zhuo Ran's eyes were a little hesitant, "Yesterday, the eldest brother's scholar told me something, plus the suicide note from Su Qian, it seems that the alluded Ran'er is my eldest brother." ”

After Zhuo Ran's nervous emotions were relieved, he slowly explained to Zuo Qingfeng. It turns out that Wang Ran and Wang Zhuoran have both pronunciation of their tail names as 'ran', so their milk names are 'ran'.

In Su Qian's letter, she and 'Ran'er' were just first acquaintances, but they fell in love at first sight. The Xiangjiang temple fair was last year's Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhuo Ran remembered it clearly, because he had just fallen seriously ill and almost died.

At that time, Wang Ran accompanied his mother Wang to the temple and was willing to pray for him, and it is very likely that he met Su Qian at that time.

In ancient times, this kind of free love was still rare, and both of them implicitly did not tell each other's real names. Maybe it was the queen mother who called Wang Ran's milk name, and after the young lady knew the eldest brother's milk name, it was written as 'ran'.

Su Qian was in love, so she asked the maid to inquire about the origin of the son she met at the temple fair, but the maid found clues in Wang Ran's museum, and since then she has often asked the maid to buy back Wang Ran's calligraphy and paintings.

It is speculated that Wang Ran has become the most suspicious person. First of all, the Dashang Wang family naturally has its own boat branch at the ferry, and secondly, Wang Ran is very familiar with Zhuo Ran's residence structure, which is all possible to commit crimes, and the little maid often goes in and out of the literary hall opened by Wang Ran, and it is not difficult to buy a maid under the lure of heavy money.

But there is one thing that Zhuo Ran can't figure out, and that is the motive for committing the crime. It stands to reason that Wang Ran and Su Qian can be said to be a good match, in this case, why does Wang Ran still do things like beasts, can't normal Ming media be married?

After listening to Zhuo Ran's reasoning, Zuo Qingfeng was also shocked, the possibility that Wang Ran was the murderer was indeed very high.

"Although I'm a little hard to believe, I have a guess, is it possible to buy a murder?"

Zhuo Ran nodded, this Zuo Qingfeng's comprehension ability is quite good.

"So it's just a temporary suspicion, and I can't find a motive for the crime, but at least he's one of the suspects."

When Zhuo Ran said this, he was very depressed. He noticed these in the Su family, and came back in such a hurry, but he still couldn't let go of his cheap big brother in his heart. Nowadays, even if you compare shoe prints, it is difficult to clear the suspicion.

Compared with Zhuo Ran's frustration, Zuo Qingfeng had a big head.

"I didn't expect this case to be so confusing, how can this be good now..."

Listening to Zuo Qingfeng say this, Zhuo Ran keenly noticed something.

"You're in such a hurry, what else do you have to do?"

Zuo Qingfeng looked at Zhuo Ran and smiled bitterly, "A big case that has attracted much attention in Chang'an, I'm afraid I won't stay in your Luocheng County for too long." ”

After Zuo Qingfeng finished speaking, Zhuo Ran couldn't help but have a jump in his right eyelid, and an ominous premonition was drawn in his heart. If Zuo Qingfeng is forced to leave on official business, the case will definitely fall into the hands of Liu Yishou again. When the time comes, whether he can get away with the crime or not, the truth of Su Qian's death will be buried underground forever. And the murderer who is not as good as the pig and dog will get away with it, and if he has a fluke, maybe there will be another victim.

This is something that Zhuo Ran can't stand at this moment.
