Chapter 174: Private Questioning
Shui Wuyue was killed on the spot, and the murderer absconded, so Qu Youying did not conduct a further autopsy, but was arranged to rest in Shuifu for a while.
She leaned against the pillars of the cloister, looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, but her thoughts drifted far away.
When Yun Shu came over, she saw that she looked preoccupied, she took a cup of tea, walked up, handed it to Qu Youying, and said, "Miss, you drink some tea and calm down." ”
Qu Youying stretched out her hand to take it, opened the lid, and the fragrance of flowers inside rushed to her face, which was refreshing.
"Did Qianxi prepare it for me?"
This flower tea was developed by Qianxi, which can purify the mind and nourish the mind, and is most suitable for Qu Youying when she is upset.
Yun Shu nodded, and only after seeing that there was no one around, did he say, "Miss Qianxi knows that your heart will be disturbed, so she specially asked the slave maid to prepare." Miss, since you came back from the autopsy, you have been so preoccupied that you don't say anything, and your silence has become less like you. ”
"Really?" Qu Youying grinned, "Xu has had too many things recently, so I'm a little tired." ”
She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, the fragrance of flowers entered her throat, and her teeth continued to wrap around, which really calmed her heart a lot.
"Yun Shu, do you think we came out on this trip, is it right or wrong?"
Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was asking, but she still said according to her own feelings, "The slave maid feels that although a lot of things have happened on this trip, it is really worth it." ”
Qu Youying heard this, and looked up at her, "Why?" ”
"What do you think, if you didn't come here, how could you see all kinds of people's hearts, such a big family, but in order to achieve their own goals, unscrupulous means, even their own biological brothers and sisters can be ruthless, this kind of thing, if it is changed to us in the past, even if we know, we will only feel like reading a book, laughing and laughing. But only after the real experience, will you know whether the human heart is above or below the interests and power, will you know whether the human heart is black or red, and only after experiencing it, will you know how to distinguish, whether it is joy or sadness, at least it is not on paper, but a kind of experience. ”
Qu Youying looked at her maid in surprise, and when these words came out of her mouth, she was really surprised.
Because she has always felt that Yun Shu is a heartless person like her, and she can only live well by herself, but when she heard her say this today, Qu Youying felt that the person who lived without heart and lungs had always been her.
Although Yun Shu didn't know anything, she could see it better than anyone else.
"People's hearts!" Qu Youying looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and suddenly smiled, "It's really not a thing." ”
It was meant to be an insult, but after she said it, she kept smiling, even though she didn't know what she was laughing at.
Two little masters have died in Shuifu from last night to today, from He Shou to the present, a total of four people have died, although this matter is tried to hide it from the outside world, but one after another funeral, others will always have suspicions, and there will always be discussions.
Generally speaking, even the subordinates of the Water Mansion would propose to leave, but Qu Youying sat in the Water Mansion for a day, sent Yun Shu out for a walk, and got the news that the subordinates of the Water Mansion were still sitting on their own duties, and no one proposed to leave.
It's just that the atmosphere is obviously a lot quieter than before.
Mu Jingzhu has been busy looking for the murderer, and Shui Linze has to deal with family affairs while also being busy with tonight's dinner.
Originally, such a thing happened, and the dinner party should be canceled, or find another day, but it is said that the old lady insisted on announcing the head of the family to the public tonight, so the dinner party was held as scheduled.
It's just a participant, except for a few masters of the Water Mansion, only Qu Youying and his party and King Ji Jiang Tong.
Qu Youying asked Yun Shu to go back to the Supreme Residence to get a change of clothes, and seeing that the hour was almost up, she planned to go to the banquet hall for a banquet.
Before leaving, she saw Jiang Tong suddenly come to Shui Linze's courtyard, alone, a little strange.
"Lord Wang, why are you here?"
Jiang Tong glanced at Yun Shu behind Qu Youying, and said, "This king has something to do with you." ”
Qu Youying understood and said to Yun Shu, "You go to the banquet hall first, and I will go over with the prince." ”
"Yes."
Yun Shu blessed his body and turned to leave.
Qu Youying smiled at Jiang Tong and said, "I don't know what the prince wants to do with me?" We might as well walk and say,"
Jiang Tong nodded and walked side by side with her, "This king has been thinking about it for a long time, and I always feel that your identification of the murderer is a bit excessive, after all, what Mu Gongzi asked and looked for is the truth, and there are footprints there, how can you think that the murderer is a woman?" ”
Qu Youying smiled slightly and replied, "A woman's sixth sense, I don't know if the prince thinks it's credible?" ”
Jiang Tong shook his head, "This king believes in evidence." After you left today, the old lady ordered Mu Gongzi to find the murderer at tonight's banquet. ”
Qu Youying heard this, and interrupted and asked, "What if you can't find it?" ”
Jiang Tong glanced at her before saying, "Shui Wuyue's confession was written by him under questioning, and what happened in Shui Mansion before was also investigated by him, but the accident still happened." Even today, all the people involved have died, the head of the family has been selected, the crown princess has also been decided, and the two major events in Shuifu are all over. ”
Qu Youying listened as she walked, and said at the same time, "Wouldn't that be good?" Although I didn't hear how he analyzed the case, Jing Zhu did his duty and found what he should be looking for. ”
"But don't forget, the killers of Misty and Tsuki have not been found. It is not known whether this person is from Shuifu or not. The most suspicious thing is that both of them were killed after Mu Jingzhu asked for the evidence of the crime, which seems to solve the previous matter on the surface, but if you think about it, why at the end of the story, a murderer suddenly appeared and killed two suspects. Don't you think it's weird? ”
Qu Youying understood the meaning of Jiang Tong's words very clearly, but she pretended to be stupid and asked, "I don't know what the prince means by this?" It's better to be more clear, I really don't understand. ”
"This king came to you today to tell you that Shuifu has a lot of opinions about the death of several little masters, and several masters even believe that the children of Shuifu will not fight for profit at will, and someone must have deliberately borrowed a knife to kill people."
Qu Youying was surprised and said, "So what does the prince mean is that the deaths of the two young ladies before were not caused by Shui Wuyue, but by the murderer today?" What Jing Candle asked, Xu was the murderer who deliberately forced Shui Wuyue to admit it? ”
When Jiang Tong heard this, he frowned slightly, turned his head to look at her, although his eyes were hidden in the darkness, but at this moment, a strange bright color burst out.
"This murderer, only you saw it at the time, the person who chased him out was Mu Jingzhu, except for that, all the people in Shuifu had never seen this murderer. If someone in Shuifu believes that you are conspiring to lie, then it is a question of whether this murderer really exists. If the murderer does not exist, then the death of Shui Wuze and Shui Wuyue is to cover up the real murderer, and the only master who can do all this is Mu Jingzhu. ”
Jiang Tong said this quickly, and every sentence was on the point.
is to lead the so-called murderer to Mu Jingzhu's body.
Because everything is his investigation, everything is the truth and confession he asked, and last night, Shui Mistze's death happened after Mu Jingzhu left Shuifu.
If he turned back and killed, it would be easy.
Including what I saw in Shui Wuyue's room today, as long as Qu Youying is an accomplice, then Mu Jingzhu has evidence to clear his suspicion.
Qu Youying listened to his words word for word, but still walked forward unhurriedly.
She folded her hands in her wide sleeves, and her steps were leisurely, with a certain amount of casualness, which was not the reaction she should have after knowing that Mu Jingzhu would become a murderer.
"Lord Wang, you seem to care about Jing Zhu very much?"
"This king is just talking about things, and he doesn't want you to be sad."
"Then Lord Wang, I have a question for you."
"What's the problem?"
"Which beauty's gentle country have you gone to today?"
Jiang Tong frowned, and said unhappily, "This king told you about the case, why are you asking this?" ”
"If the prince didn't go to the gentle country of the beauty, then it would be the original taste of the prince, so I also refused to answer the prince's questions even more, including what the prince just said, I won't believe it."
"What do you mean? This king kindly reminds you that you are not worried about the safety of Mu Jingzhu at all? Tonight, the old lady seems to be holding a family banquet and announcing the head of the family, but it is actually a Hongmen banquet, in order to make Mu Jingzhu confess. ”
"If that's the case, then you shouldn't remind me of this as Jiang Tong, you should pretend to be Xie Xiaoer or Yun Shu." Qu Youying was on the edge of the rockery, stopped, looked at the noble man beside her by the brightness of the moonlight, and said with a smile word by word, "Am I right, Sister Qinghe." ”
Jiang Tong's face changed slightly, and he shook his sleeves and said, "What nonsense, how can this king be Qinghe." ”
"Yes, you are not Qing He, you are a murderer pretending to be Qing He." Qu Youying still looked like she was smiling, because of her height, she could only look up at her, "You know how to disguise, and the disguise is very similar, even the body shape and voice are imitated perfectly." But you're missing a point. ”
"What?"
"Jiang Tong will never call himself the king to me. It doesn't matter if he's angry or happy. And-" Qu Youying stretched out his hand and waved in front of his nose, and continued, "Although Jiang Tong is richly dressed, he doesn't have any fragrance on his body, and on your body, although you have changed your clothes and maybe taken a bath, that fragrance can't be completely washed off. My nose is very smart. ”
This time, "Jiang Tong" no longer bumped into the appearance of a good person, she grinned and looked fierce.
"I didn't expect you to be quite smart, but I underestimated you."
Although she admitted her disguise, she still did not reveal her original voice, and still spoke in Jiang Tong's voice.
"I'm just curious, Jing Zhu wants to protect you, but you took the initiative to come to the door to find me, why?"
As early as in Shui Wuyue's room, she guessed who Shui Wuyue's last message was referring to, but it was a pity that Mu Jingzhu identified it as a man at that time, which made Qu Youying suspicious.
Because at that time, only Qinghe was the only one who could start.
Although Qu Youying didn't see the person's face clearly at that time, when the wind blew, the fragrance brought by it was faintly familiar.
Therefore, Qu Youying knew very well in her heart that it was Qinghe who killed the two of them.
But Mu Jingzhu's words also made her understand that he had long known who the murderer was, but he didn't plan to expose it, maybe that footprint was also a disguise to draw everyone's attention to the man.
Despite this, Qu Youying didn't plan to expose Mu Jingzhu, she was waiting, waiting for Mu Jingzhu to take the initiative to tell her the reason.
didn't wait for Mu Jingzhu, but waited for Qinghe's initiative to come to the door.
