She bent down to examine the blood stain carefully, and even reached out and rubbed it twice, only to see a thin layer of blood shattering and falling off.

"She's not a murderer!" The words are concise and to the point, but the tone is very affirmative and unquestionable.

Song Derong didn't expect her to say such a sentence when she looked at the dagger and quilt, but knowing that it was not Aunt Liu's doing, he was secretly relieved.

As long as it wasn't for the fire in his backyard, he wouldn't be an outcast in Rong Gong's place. Even, as long as it works properly, he may be a blessing in disguise.

So the person who was so angry just now that he almost beat Aunt Liu to death also restrained some emotions at this time.

"Why?"

Xu Chu saw that several pairs of eyes looked over, and he was not anxious, so he just raised the bloody dagger and said, "First of all, this blood stain is wrong. Although it is also human blood, it is not the one used by the murderer when he committed the murder last night, but the one that the murderer smeared with blood afterwards. Because this dagger has not cut through the face, it has only been smeared with blood, so it will cause a dry blood layer to be even, and even slightly less at the tip of the knife. But if it was really a murder weapon that peeled the skin and cut the face, it should be a lot of blood at the tip of the knife, and there was even no blood layer at the hilt. ”

"Second, the blood stains on this quilt are menstrual blood, that is, the woman's sunflower water, not the blood stains left by the skin wounds." As she spoke, she pointed to the place she had just pinched, "Generally speaking, in addition to blood, Kwai Shui will also have some shedding endometrium, mucus, and secretions unique to women's private parts. Because it is a mixed liquid, it is dark in color and slightly sticky, and it will produce small, thin fragments when drying. What's more, the blood shed by the deceased last night was enough to soak half a quilt, and it was impossible to have only a few small pieces......"

"Yes, yes, I remembered, I came to Aoi Shui the day before yesterday, and it was stained a lot on the quilt. But that quilt, I obviously told Xiang'er to take it to change and wash, how could it smash under my bed? As soon as she heard that it was Kwai Shui, Aunt Liu instantly burst out of her strength and explained again and again. At the same time, questioning eyes also looked at Xiang'er.

Xiang'er also accepted her crying at this time, choked up and said: "The slave did send the quilt to the laundry room, and Granny Song was not there at the time, so I put the quilt up and put it directly into the dirty clothes basket." ”

Regardless of what happened during this period, as long as you let a mother-in-law check it on Aunt Liu, you can know if she is lying. And now, in order to protect herself, Aunt Liu will not lie about this matter.

"Therefore, although Aunt Liu is suspicious, she cannot be concluded that she is the murderer." When he said this, Xu Chu's voice changed, and he said coldly, "But if Aunt Liu insists on not telling the truth, then I'm afraid that I will inevitably guess that you are the accomplice of the murderer, and now this move is just to cover up!" ”

Aunt Liu had just put away her tears just now, because Xu Chu had cleared her suspicions, and she was relieved and sat on the ground, but she didn't expect Xu Chu to suddenly look at her.

She was stunned for a moment, and waited until she met the eyes that were perceptive to the world, as if there was no way to hide the dark secret in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "I...... I did leave the room, but that was when I first entered the room. At that time, I heard Xiang'er talk about it, and Yan'er went to the next room to crowd again, so I took Xiang'er out. ”

"Earlier, I suspected that Aunt Yang had some unsavory fox tricks, so I asked Xiang'er to keep an eye on it. Sure enough, I heard that she often rested by herself at night, and did not even need to serve people who served tea and water, and then one night I found that she had sneaked out of her yard for most of the night, but when I followed her to the garden that day, I saw no trace of her. It happened that I heard that Xiang'er went down early last night, so I quietly guarded her outside her yard with Xiang'er, and sure enough, when I was about to see her sneaking into the garden with something. ”

As soon as Song Derong heard this, his face instantly turned red, and he was about to scold. But he didn't want to, Xu Chu directly blocked in front of him, separated him from the sight of Aunt Liu, and continued to ask sharply, "Where did she go?" Who are you meeting and what are you doing? ”

Aunt Liu paused for a moment, sobbed, and then said in a dumb voice: "I didn't see it clearly, but I saw her from a distance when she arrived at the back door Si Qing, and after a while, I heard a few bird calls, and then a black rumbling figure." But I'm sure it's a man......"

"At that time, I thought that it must be a little girl in the yard who had a personal affair with Aunt Yang, and just wanted to go up and catch the two of them, but I saw that the two of them suddenly disappeared. I went up to look at it for a long time, but there was nothing, and I felt very crazy at that time, and I wanted to call someone. Speaking of this, Aunt Liu couldn't help but shudder, and said with a shocked face, "But before I could scream, I felt a gust of wind behind me." Xiang'er and I were so scared that we didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried back. ”

It is precisely because of this that she will burn the wormwood with Xiang'er all night.

"My lord, my son and I still need to go to the four seasons that Aunt Liu said to have a look." Xu Chu turned around and suppressed the countless conjectures in his heart and said. However, she could also see Song Derong's ugly look, so she said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will never spread this matter." ”

Song Derong frowned and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xu Chu couldn't help but set his eyes on Xiao Qinglang, who had been silent. Xiao Qinglang bowed slightly, glanced at her soothingly, and then said quietly: "My lord, the so-called relaxation is moderate. Since adults have bigger chips, they might as well show their shortcomings to others. In this way, it is beneficial and harmless to adults. ”

"What's more, for the sake of the court's awards and achievements, adults should handle this case fairly and honestly. It is necessary to know that now the officials in the court, headed by Wenchen, mostly respect those who kill their relatives in righteousness. ”

As he spoke, his voice lowered slightly, and he said incomprehensibly: "The playboy once revealed that the Qin Cha of this secret visit was Lord Yuan, who tied up his son to see the official back then. ”

When Song Derong heard these words, the hesitation in his heart instantly dissipated. He thought about it for a while, and said in his heart that now he and Xiao Qinglang are grasshoppers on a rope, and even the bookstore and Wenyan Lou he opened are also attached to his own support. Come to think of it, he shouldn't hurt himself.

But think of the consequences if that person is found out...... He had to be cautious, "Since Childe said so, then I only have one thing to ask for." The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, so no matter what mistakes Aunt Yang made during her lifetime, please ask the son and the girl to save her face, don't dig into it. ”

Xiao Qinglang replied, and Shi Shiran left the hall with Xu Chu. As for Aunt Liu, who was still paralyzed on the ground, and Xiang'er, who was kowtowing her head, he didn't take a second look. It is precisely because of this that Song Derong became more and more satisfied with his attitude.

Xu Chu walked behind Xiao Qinglang, bowing his head and thinking deeply. According to Aunt Liu's words, what she saw Aunt Yang holding should be the lost quilt.

By the time Xu Chu came back to his senses, Xiao Qinglang had already taken her hand and stood beside Sijiqingcong. And Wei Guang had already knocked with the wooden stick in his hand for a long time, and after a while, he shook his head at Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu, indicating that no secret passage had been found underneath.

Xiao Qinglang looked over with Xu Chu, but saw that although Sijiqing was lush and green, there was a free place inside.

Suddenly, the quilt that Aunt Yang carried flashed in her mind, if it was......

Thinking of this, she simply stepped into the green bushes by herself. Compared to the verdant four seasons green outside, the inside is very desolate, and there are even some dry grass clippings and dead branches.

Xu Chu squatted down and looked carefully, and said after a while: "They didn't enter any secret passages, but hid their figures here. ”

Because it was dark and there was no light, when Aunt Yang and the mysterious person hid or lay in the bushes, Si Siqing was enough to block the sight of others. Then, it made people mistakenly think that Aunt Yang and the two disappeared out of thin air.

She got up and paced around Si Si Qingnei, and finally looked at Xiao Qinglang and said, "The reason why the murderer started is probably as the son said, it is for punishment. ”

The ground was littered with dead branches, and the grass was crumbled with obvious signs of being crushed. Looking at the shape of the dead grass that has been pressed, it is just long, like the shape of a quilt.

Who was the last person to see Aunt Yang? If Aunt Yang really went out of the wall, then who is the other party? Could it be her so-called distant cousin, and how much does Song Derong know about this matter!

She returned to Xiao Qinglang's side and said: "In addition to the characteristics of the murderer inferred before, it can now be concluded that this person has a clear purpose, a paranoid personality, a very high regard for women's morality, and has a certain status or face in the Song Mansion. Moreover, she has deep feelings for Song Derong or the Song family, and she cares about the face of the Song family. After a pause, she added again, "Or maybe she has a second personality." That is, there are violent tendencies. ”

She knows the habits of Aunt Yang and Aunt Liu well, and she calculates the days when Aunt Liu comes to Kwai Shui very accurately. Or, I work in the laundry room, so it's convenient. ”

"I like to read scripts, or listen to some folk wonders, and I am eager to try the punishment of peeling the face but I can't do it."

She thought calmly, speculated on all the phenomena and clues she had seen so far, and then drew a psychological portrait of the murderer.

"Good at disguise, and know the truth about the Song family's haunting. It can be seen that she has been in the Song family for a long time, and even whatever she does is just right, it will not make people suspicious. ”

As the portrait in her mind became clearer and clearer, she turned her head and frowned at Xiao Qinglang, and said in a deep voice: "Now there are only two women left in the Song Mansion who have agreed to these conditions and have not been checked for their fingers......

Xiao Qinglang's eyes were heavy, and he nodded and said, "Old Madam Song, Mrs. Song." ”

But Mrs. Song obviously had hysteria, and she was overly frightened by the haunting, so how could she go out in the middle of the night?
