Chapter 81: The Death of Hanlin (3)

Hearing Bai Haohong's question, Mrs. Jia couldn't hold back her crying and said, "I forced my grandson to death!" About two hours ago, the grandfather hurried out of the door, and soon after he left, there was a knock at the door, and the butler went to open the door, and there was no one outside the door, but there was a letter on the ground. The housekeeper handed me the letter, and when I opened it, it said: My grandson and Miss Mei have gone to a tryst, and my grandson is going to divorce me. ”

Bai Haohong asked, "What about the letter?" ”

"I remember when I had a quarrel with my grandson, I threw it to him, and he took it in his hand and went into the study."

Bai Haohong took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Mrs. Jia, and asked, "Look at it, is it this letter?" ”

Mrs. Jia took the letter, glanced at it, and said, "Yes, this is the letter." ”

"And then?"

"After my grandson came back, I scolded him for having no conscience, and made it clear to my grandson: If he dares to divorce me, I will go to Miss Mei's father to judge; In addition, I will go to my father's friends who are officials and ask them to administer justice. When his grandson heard this, he didn't react, and he went into the study alone. I counted him outside the study for a long time, and my grandfather didn't reply a word, and I left. ”

The servant of Dali Temple came to Jiafu, and after examining Jia Hanlin's body, he concluded that it was a suicide, but he wanted to bring Jia Hanlin's body back and examine it carefully. However, Mrs. Jia disagreed, she did not want to make a big deal and become the laughing stock of the world, Mrs. Jia planned to finish the funeral as soon as possible, and then go back to her hometown immediately.

In Dali Temple, Miss Mei's father asked to bring Miss Mei's body back, and admitted that he forced her to marry, causing her daughter to commit suicide, and he hoped to bury her as soon as possible. Although there are many mysteries in this case that have not yet been solved, however, there is no evidence to prove that it was not a martyrdom suicide, and other motives for the murder cannot be found.

After the release, as soon as Bai Haohong arrived home, Lizi greeted him and asked, "Brother Bai, I heard that Miss Mei and Jia Hanlin committed suicide in martyrdom, is it true?" ”

Bai Haohong replied: "You still say that you don't gossip, who do you listen to?" ”

Du Yiming came out and said proudly: "Liz's news generally comes from me. ”

Bai Haohong asked strangely, "Yiming, why did you come back so early today?" ”

"The shopkeeper has something to do, so we'll come back early."

Lizi and Du Yiming hugged Bai Haohong and came to the hall to sit down, Lizi poured tea and urged: "Brother Bai, you can say it quickly." Did Miss Mei lie in Jia Hanlin's arms, Jia Hanlin touched her face, and the two of them drank poisonous wine in one gulp, and finally, hugged each other and died? Have you ever seen two butterflies flying around? I can't be a companion before I die, and I can't fly together after death, I didn't expect the two of them to be so infatuated, did they find a touching and tear-jerking suicide note? ”

Bai Haohong took a sip of tea and said, "What do you have in your head?" Talking is like telling a story. You think reality is a fairy tale. ”

Du Yiming interjected: "Brother Bai, Liz is elegant. I heard people say: Miss Mei has a child, and Jia Hanlin can't divorce his wife, so the two of them can only find death. Others said: They had an illegitimate child who was raised in the countryside, and the matter of the illegitimate child was discovered, so they committed suicide. ”

Bai Haohong shook his head and sighed: "Human words are terrifying. No wonder the families of both sides want to settle the matter as soon as possible and do not want our Dali Temple to intervene. ”

Lizi asked in surprise: "Does Dali Temple still care about martyrdom and suicide?" ”

"I don't feel like suicide by martyrdom."

Xu Feiyan walked in with a rag and asked while wiping the ashes, "Why doesn't it look like suicide?" ”

Du Yiming teased: "Sister Feiyan, when did you become a servant?" There are so many servants in the White Mansion, do you need to clean it yourself? ”

"I can't get used to their perfunctory work! I'm teaching them how to do things. ”

Du Yiming said again: "Sister Feiyan, you are really a hard worker, having a servant is more tired than not having a servant!" When I see that you are fine, it is better to rest, and not always walk around and look around like an overseer. ”

Xu Feiyan ignored Du Yiming, and then asked Bai Haohong: "Brother Bai, what do you think is suspicious?" ”

Bai Haohong replied: "Generally speaking, if you commit suicide by martyrdom, two people are about to die together, and the method of suicide should be the same. However, Jia Hanlin and Miss Mei committed suicide in different ways, which makes people a little confused. ”

"That's easy to explain." Xu Feiyan said: "They don't want people to know that they committed suicide by martyrdom, for fear that their families will be humiliated. ”

"That doesn't make sense." Liz interjected: "It turns out that after they committed suicide separately, the whole city was still in an uproar. Jia Hanlin is so smart, he should have expected this. ”

Xu Feiyan then analyzed: "It may also be that Jia Hanlin changed his mind halfway and didn't want to die. However, after escaping home, I was afraid of Miss Mei's father's revenge, afraid of the eyes of the world, and would be suspected of being a murderer, so I had no choice but to wipe my neck. ”

Du Yiming agreed: "This kind of example also exists in our hometown, where two people who made an appointment to commit suicide, after one of them died, the other party changed his mind and fled. ”

Bai Haohong asked rhetorically, "Where did Miss Mei get the poison?" ”

Xu Feiyan said: "I heard that a while ago, there were flower thieves in the capital, and many ladies were afraid of being spoiled by flower thieves, so they asked someone to find us people in the rivers and lakes to buy poison for self-defense. My master's poison pills were sold a lot and he made a lot of money. ”

Liz asked puzzled, "How can poison defend oneself?" ”。

Du Yiming said with a smile: "I committed suicide by taking poison." You are foolish! I can't even think of this. ”

"Sister Feiyan, give me a self-defense."

"Don't give it to her! Liz inadvertently eats it as a sugar pill. Bai Haohong continued: "The anonymous letter from Jia Hanlin's house is also very strange, and I think that the person who wrote the letter is likely to be related to their deaths. ”

Liz said, "Then find the person who wrote the letter in the handwriting." ”

"There is no suspect, how can you compare the law? You can't compare the handwriting of the whole city, so Dali Temple doesn't have to do anything else. ”

Xu Feiyan said: "There are a lot of gossiping people in this world, I like to watch other husbands and wives quarrel, and people who write anonymous letters are not necessarily related to Jia Hanlin's suicide. Big Brother Bai, since the case has not been filed, you don't have to think about it. ”

Du Yiming interjected and smiled: "Sister Feiyan, you also know the word 'gossip'!" ”

Xu Feiyan said disdainfully: "Your hometown dialect, you can understand it after listening to it a few times, I'm not as stupid as Liz!" ”

When Lizi heard Xu Feiyan say this, she immediately crossed her waist with her left hand, pointed at Xu Feiyan with her right hand, and said loudly unconvinced: "Xu Feiyan, this girl participated in the finals of the talented women, unlike you, who is not even qualified to participate......
