Hu Bo panicked: "Young lady, something happened to Yalan!" ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"Mo Ju and the others were about to cook when they came back, and when they arrived in the kitchen, they smelled blood, but they found Yalan's body in the firewood!"

Xia Sihan was a little frightened, and stood there blankly for a long time.

Hu Bo was a little anxious when he saw this situation, after all, there was a murder case that urgently needed Xia Sihan to get an idea. "Young lady, you must be steady! If this matter is not handled well, it will affect our Li family. ”

Hearing this, Xia Sihan suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Does Madam know about this?" ”

Hu Bo shook his head: "The old slave was worried that his wife was not in good health, so he only told Mother Wu." I've been waiting for you to come back to deal with this matter, and Miss Xiao Jiu is still checking in the courtyard. ”

Hearing that Xiao Jiu was dealing with it, Xia Sihan was much more relieved. When they arrived at the courtyard, everyone knelt on the ground, and Xiao Jiu stood in front of them.

Seeing Xia Sihan, Xiao Jiu hurriedly greeted him, "Dongjia, Yalan is dead, and the murder weapon should be a slender weapon." The people in the courtyard are here, and the last person to see Yalan is Xiuzhu. ”

Xia Sihan walked over and saw them kneeling on the ground, Yalan's body was lying in the middle of the courtyard, covered with a white cloth, and the people in this courtyard were trembling with fright. Especially Xiuzhu, her fear and panic are extremely obvious!

Seeing Xia Sihan, she hurriedly rushed to Xia Sihan's side, raised her head with a panicked face, and prayed: "Young lady, the slave really doesn't know anything. You instructed the slave and maid to clean up the mattress with Yalan, and as soon as you left her front foot, she went out of the room with her back foot, and the mattress was all cleaned up by the slave and maid alone, and they can all testify! ”

Xia Sihan said lightly: "The matter of judging the case is a matter of the official yamen, although Yalan is a maid in the back house, but in the end, it is a human life, and you had better find witnesses to prove your innocence." Huber, bring the wind. ”

"Hey! The old slave will go. ”

Xia Sihan's words stunned everyone, but most of them were still very calm, after all, they had a clear conscience. But Xiuzhu was different, she was the only one in the inner courtyard at the time, and when she took out the mattress, she did say that Yalan was gone, but no one went in at that time, and it really couldn't prove whether Yalan was in the room at the time.

Xia Sihan walked into the room without hurrying, and Xiuzhu's heart chuckled. At the moment, she just has no witnesses, but that doesn't mean she's the murderer. Besides, she has a back-up move, as long as they turn it over like that, she can get out of it smoothly.

Xia Sihan looked around the room, and the mattress had indeed been renewed. She walked over and shook it twice, and there was nothing to hide.

There was nothing on the ground, Yalan's body was found in the firewood pile in the kitchen, and no one in the outer courtyard heard any cries for help, either the murderer was taken by surprise or the man was a strong martial artist.

She looked outside and saw that Xiuzhu was the only one standing in the courtyard. Xia Sihan couldn't help frowning when he thought of the scene that Yalan peeked at. If it was really she who killed her, could it be that Arlan found something?

Seeing Xia Sihan looking at herself, Xiuzhu couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly came to Xia Sihan, "Young lady, the slave doesn't know anything, and the slave and maid have no witnesses, but the slave and the maid really didn't kill anyone!" ”

"Don't be nervous, Arlan's death is indeed strange. Since the murderer is from the house, I will definitely find him out and bring him to justice. Xia Sihan said loudly: "Come on, search around to see if there is anything suspicious left." ”

As soon as her words fell, Mother Liu, the steward of the outer courtyard, led people to search one by one. When Xiuzhu heard this, her face gradually revealed a touch of joy, as long as she found the things she hid in Yalan's room.

Xia Sihan had been observing Xiuzhu's reaction, and seeing a hint of joy flashing in her eyes, she knew it in her heart. No one can escape the nose of the wind, even if all traces are erased.

"Young lady, look!" At this time, Liu's mother rushed out of Yalan's room, holding a handkerchief in her hand.

Xia Sihan looked down, Seven Star Grass?

"Young lady, this was found in Yalan's room. There were several bottles under the pillow in her room, and they smelled very pungent. Liu's mother's words made Xiuzhu's heart happy.

"Young lady, this must be a poison that Yalan is secretly hiding! I've seen Yalan sneaking around in your room before, she must be plotting against her, young lady, Yalan she ......" Xiuzhu was anxious to explain, but was interrupted by a dog barking.

She turned around and saw Hu Bo leading a big black dog in, and as soon as the dog came in, it pounced in the direction of Xiuzhu, and Hu Bo couldn't hold it at all.

"Ahh Young lady, help! Xiuzhu screamed, but the wind bypassed her and rushed to Xia Sihan's side, circling around her master.

Xia Sihan reached out and touched its head, and said with a smile: "Good wind, quickly help me smell this person and see where she fell?" ”

Wind, as if he understood her, sniffed around Arran's corpse and then went to the kitchen, where the corpse was hidden, and the smell of blood was strong.

Xia Sihan followed, Xiuzhu's heart was about to rise to her throat, she clenched her fists tightly, and her heart was pounding. She had already washed all the blood stains on the ground, and when Xia Sihan came back, the ground had already dried up, and it was impossible to see with the naked eye. Can this dog smell it?

The wind smelled all the way, but it didn't enter Xia Sihan's house, but just circled around the yard, which made everyone very puzzled, and Xiuzhu was even more relieved. It seems that this is just an ordinary dog, no big deal! Xiuzhu was proud, and suddenly the wind rushed towards her!

"Ah~~~" Xiuzhu screamed and fell to the ground, the wolfdog held her down with two front paws, grinning at her, and the low roar in his throat made Xiuzhu almost faint.

"Young lady, young lady save me!" Xiuzhu cried out to Xia Sihan, who walked up to her and squatted down to carefully inspect the decorations on her body.

Xiao Jiu was the first to notice that the bead hairpin was plucked from her head, and the bead flower at the other end of the bead hairpin was still stained with blood.

Xia Sihan sneered: "Okay, Uncle Hu, go to Dali Temple, just say that the maid Xiuzhu killed someone, intending to murder the main mother, and the human and material evidence is there, let the good students of Dali Temple investigate and see who is behind this maid." ”

The people in the courtyard were stunned, and Hu Bo didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly sent the little servant to report to the official. Xiao Jiu took the wind aside, and Xiuzhu trembled like chaff, but he still didn't forget to shout grievances.

"Young lady, you can't wronged the slave so much!"

"You are presumptuous! When the servants come to test the blood on your pearl hairpin, you will know if you have been wronged! ”

Xiao Jiu shouted loudly, Xiuzhu cried even more miserably, and threw herself at Xia Sihan's feet and shouted: "Young lady, the slave maid has always done her duty, and now the slave and maid are judged guilty just by the unknown blood stains on the bead hairpin, and the slave and maid are really wronged!" ”

"Whether it is wronged or not will be known by the people of Dali Temple in the first trial! Xiuzhu, you have to think clearly, if the person behind it knows that your identity is exposed, I am afraid that they will not keep you, you can do it yourself. You hid the Seven Star Grass, didn't you? Do you think I don't know that you came into my room that day, I just wanted to see what you wanted to do. ”

Hearing this, Xiuzhu's face turned pale with fright. She knew very well that Xia Sihan's analysis was right, and the person behind it would not let herself threaten him.
