Chapter 139: Suicide (2)
Zhao Zhutou asked Xiaolian the same question, and Xiaolian replied: "Last night, neither the lord nor the lady called me, I stayed in my house and didn't go anywhere." ”
"Did you hear anything unusual last night?"
"Nope."
After Xiaolian left, Huang Wanglan, the second daughter of the Huang family, was brought into the house, and after she sat down after the ceremony, she said with tears in her eyes without waiting for Zhao Zhutou to ask: "My sister will never commit suicide!" She had just made a lifelong engagement with Lang Zhong of the palace during the day yesterday, and it was impossible for her to commit suicide at night. ”
Bai Haohong asked Huang Wanglan: "Do you approve of your sister going to the capital?" ”
"We have a deep sisterhood, of course I don't want her to leave, but the stepmother is reluctant to give a dowry, if my sister stays here, there will be no good home."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Dad hopes that our sisters can marry scholars, and also went to the matchmaker, recently, the matchmaker told my sister about a show, my father wants to send a shop to my sister as a dowry, but, the stepmother is firmly opposed."
"How many shops do you have?"
"Three. My stepmother said to my sister: 'As long as I am here, don't think about taking the shop.' Recently, I heard that my father wanted to sell a shop and give the money to our sisters as a dowry, but my stepmother still objected. ”
Bai Haohong asked again: "Are you married?" ”
Huang Wanglan blushed and shook her head.
Zhao Zhutou said: "You can tell me about the situation last night." ”
"Last night, I wanted to go to my sister's room to sit down, and when I saw my stepmother there, I went to my father's room and sat down for a while. Later, I went back to my sister and saw that my stepmother was still there, so I went back to the house and went to sleep. ”
"Does your sister have a ring?"
"My sister and I share a Yahuan Lilac, and my sister is used to doing everything by herself, so Lilac mainly takes care of me."
Bai Haohong took out the sachet for Huang Wanglan to identify, Huang Wanglan took it, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said: "This is not mine, and my sister does not have such a sachet, it may be the stepmother's." ”
After Huang Wanglan went out, Yahuan Lilac was brought into the house, and after she introduced herself, she began to talk about last night's situation.
"Last night, after the second girl came back from the master's place, I waited for her to go to bed, and the second girl asked me to rest early, so I went back to the other room to sleep."
"Did you hear anything last night?"
"Nope."
"What's the relationship between the two girls?"
"They are together every day and have a good relationship."
Bai Haohong asked, "Can the second girl be interested in someone?" ”
Lilac was stunned, rolled her eyes, and replied, "I don't know." ”
"You've been with the second girl all day, don't you know?"
Lilac glanced at Bai Haohong, immediately lowered her head, and replied, "She didn't like anyone." ”
Bai Haohong asked: "You said to the second girl last night: 'He said it, come late at night.'" Who is this 'he' referring to? ”
Lilac was taken aback when she heard this, and replied in a somewhat flustered manner, "I, I don't remember saying this." If she really said this, she was also referring to the big girl. ”
"Who do you think the murderer is?"
"I think the big girl is suicidal because lately she always wants to die. I also heard the second girl say to the eldest girl, 'You just died like this, it's too cheap for the stepmother.' ’”
Bai Haohong asked Lilac to identify the sachet again, and after Lilac looked at it, he said, "I have never seen this sachet." ”
After Lilac retreated, Zhao Zhutou said hello to Bai Haohong and went to the thatched house. Liz took the opportunity to sneak in, sat down, and said, "I gave you the house, and I don't even have a place to stay." ”
Bai Haohong asked, "Isn't Yiming awake yet?" ”
He snored like thunder, and Bai Cheng also went to bed to make up for his sleepiness.
"Liz, you just said that you know a big secret, what is the secret?"
Liz looked at Bai Haohong, smiled slyly, and said, "I have too much information!" However, I don't want to tell you, you always say that I gossip and don't let me listen, this time, you have to apologize! If your sincerity impresses me, I can consider revealing a little bit to you. After saying that, Liz stared at Bai Haohong, wanting to see his regretful expression.
Bai Haohong blinked and said, "Your words of the cowhide king are not credible at all!" It's up to you to get useful clues! At most, you know something that everybody knows. ”
Lizi was so angry that she jumped three feet high and shouted, "I'm the King of Cowhide? Let you know now that I know what I'm capable of! The information I have must be top secret! Let me tell you, Wanglan has a good name named Fang Baojiu, who is the head of the Qinglong Martial Arts Hall. During the Shangyuan Lantern Festival last year, he saved the second girl, and the two fell in love at first sight, but Huang Yuanwai likes to read people, and hopes that his daughter will marry Xiucai or lift people, so he refused Fang Baojiu's courtship, but Wanglan and Fang Baojiu have been secretly in contact. ”
After Liz finished talking about this in one breath, she said triumphantly, "Well, you should admire my intelligence gathering ability." ”
Bai Haohong smiled slightly, and asked with a gentle expression, "These are all what Huang Wangmei told you last night, right?" ”
"Yes, I said to Wangmei, if your sister is reluctant to let you go to the capital, she can also go together, and in the future, find a good family for your sister in the capital. After Wangmei heard this, she told me this. Is this news available to everyone? Big Brother Bai, you can't always see my abilities! ”
At this time, Zhao Zhutou came back and saw Lizi in the house, so he said to Bai Haohong: "There is still one cook left who hasn't asked, Lord Bai, just let Miss Shangguan stay here, she is pitiful outside." ”
Lizi hurriedly thanked: "It's better to be Brother Zhao!" I was out there with dizzy hair and black eyes. ”
Bai Haohong asked, "Do you want to call Lang Zhong?" ”
"It doesn't matter, I'll sit here for a while."
When the cook came in, he only said a few bad things about his stepmother, and he had slept early last night and had not heard anything unusual.
After the cook left, a catcher walked in and reported to Zhao Zhutou: "In the mezzanine of Mrs. Huang's jewelry box, I found sweat medicine, and there is also sweat medicine in the tea that Huang Yuanwai drank last night." After speaking, he handed over the sweat medicine he found to Zhao Zhutou.
Zhao Zhutou ordered: "Bring Mrs. Huang here!" ”
After Mrs. Huang was brought in, Zhao Zhutou shouted, "Mrs. Huang, are you guilty? ”
Mrs. Huang said nervously: "Zhao Zhutou, I didn't do anything." ”
Zhao Zhutou looked incredulous, looked at Mrs. Huang with burning eyes, and said, "Didn't you do anything?" Last night, you first went to your eldest daughter Huang Wangmei, took advantage of her unpreparedness, put sweat medicine in her tea, and then returned to your room, and put sweat medicine in Huang Yuanwai's tea. Late at night, after you got out of bed, you pushed Huang Yuanwai twice, and when you saw that he couldn't wake up soundly, you boldly and quietly came to the eldest daughter's residence again, sneaked into her room through the back window, hanged the sleeping eldest daughter, made a suicide illusion, and finally escaped through the back window. As everyone knows, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky! On the dirt floor outside the back window, there is evidence of your crime, and that is your footprints. ”
