Chapter III

Xu Chu nodded, and then asked, "During the young lady's rest, has anyone ever been to Wen Wanyuan or seen the young lady?" ”

"The slave doesn't know very well, at that time, only Mama Zhang was taking care of the young lady."

When he asked this, Xu Chu didn't say anything more, turned his head and asked Young Master Qian if he might meet someone related. Young Master Qian also cooperated, got up and beckoned his subordinates to bring Mama Zhang and Aunt Xun to come.

Compared with Mama Zhang's calmness, Aunt Xun was trembling, and as soon as she entered the house, she knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy. Fortunately, Xu Chu was not impatient, but asked separately, and sure enough, there was no difference with what Ying'er said.

When the young lady came back, she rested by herself, and asked the old slave to send the people in the courtyard away so as not to disturb her rest. In the meantime, the step-wife came to deliver some supplements, only said a few words outside the screen and left, and no one came after that. "Mama Zhang said 1510, not adding more than half a point, and not panicking at all, thinking carefully about the inappropriateness of the day." However, when he came to inspect it in the afternoon, the old slave obviously smelled the smell of wine on his body, as if he and Ah Sheng had eaten wine before coming. ”

On the contrary, Aunt Xun couldn't hold her breath, her mind was in a mess, and she only remembered that she was lazy and slippery and was discovered by the master's family.

"The old woman is really not lazy, she is really idle at the back door, and the legs and feet of the old woman are not comfortable in the past few days, so she likes to eat a few glasses of wine to relieve her fatigue when she has nothing to do, who knows that she ate a few more glasses that day, and she actually slept for a while." As she spoke, Aunt Xun kowtowed again to admit her mistakes, for fear that one of the lord's family would be angry and drive her out. You know, she is not a house slave, she just works as a doorkeeper in the Qian family to earn a month's money to make up for the family, if she is really kicked out, she is so old and a country man who can't read a word, that is, she is afraid that people will dislike it when they bring children.

Seeing Aunt Xun's annoyance crying, the young master of the Qian family waved his hand to let her go down.

After seeing a few people who were directly involved, Xu Chucai asked again: "I don't know if Madame's room has changed?" We might go and check it out? ”

The young master of the Qian family shook his head, and said as if he was very tired: "Ya Niang and I live in Wen Wanyuan, since Ya Niang's accident, no one has been in and out since the cleaning subordinates. If you can return the innocence of my Qian family, the girl can go. ”

As he spoke, he lifted his robe and led the way first, leading the group to the place where Mrs. Qian lived, and it was also the last place where Mrs. Qian was found. At this time, Xu Chu and the others found that his left leg seemed to be a little inconvenient, and his body was slightly tilted when he walked.

It was probably inconspicuous, and the young master of the Qian family was walking in his robe, so no one noticed. However, for Xu Chu, who is proficient in medicine and has worked as a forensic doctor for two lifetimes, she will never let go of even the slightest abnormality.

"Young Master Qian, is this a leg obstacle?" Xu Chu asked as if he had no intention of doing so.

Young Master Qian was still sighing and talking about depression and grief in his heart, full of infatuation, but because of Xu Chu's words, the whole person stumbled, and Xu Chu followed closer, and stretched out his hand to drag him so that he didn't make a fool of himself in front of others.

"Let everyone laugh, in fact, it is okay, it is just that I have been busy with the funeral of my deceased wife in the past few days, and I am dizzy and fell down for a while, but it is not hindered by a little abrasion." Young Master Qian's tone seemed to be holding on to greeting people, he sighed and waved his hand and didn't want to say more, and he was in no mood to speak anymore after the words fell.

"Young Master Qian's day mourning."

"How can I mourn, Ya Niang and I are a young couple, and there is still a little bit of childhood friendship, she is gone now, how can I feel at ease." In the end, it was a family affair that was set up since childhood, and the two families have had a friendship for many years, Young Master Qian sighed and said, "I ignored her, if I came back in time at noon that day, she wouldn't ......"

"Young Master Qian didn't come back that day, but what kind of entertainment is there?"

"It's not a glorious thing to say, I'm afraid it will pollute Miss Xu's ears." Young Master Qian's face was scornful, full of embarrassment and as if he was extremely embarrassed, and waved his hand, "Because of business matters, I ate wine with Tang San and a few others all night the day before, and I didn't wake up until noon on the second day......"

Hearing this, even though Xu Chu was not a person who spent a lot of time and drank a lot, he probably guessed his itinerary that day. It is estimated that he ate flower wine, had a hangover all night, and had a dewy marriage with a singer or a dusty woman, so he delayed going home.

As soon as he got home, he encountered his wife's death, and it is estimated that he was reluctant to speak out, and he was also afraid of telling the truth. Especially at the juncture when the Zhang family hated to pick up the upper and lower layers of skin of the Qian family, he didn't dare to make it clear. But now that Xu Chu, a well-known detective girl, is here, it's different, but as long as he can get rid of the suspicion, he will never hide it.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, he saw that the sad faces of the old man of the Zhang family and the old lady suddenly changed. Master Zhang is better, because outsiders are there, he doesn't really fight and abuse, but Rao is cold and resentful eyes are enough to make people feel cold. And Mrs. Zhang is different, in the end, it is a female dependent, her heart is unstoppable, and she directly pounces on Young Master Qian, and her eyes are like desperate.

No matter what you say, Young Master Qian is still a son-in-law in the end, and he is chased and beaten by his mother-in-law, and he can only dodge. If a woman really has a desperate mind, the physical strength and ferocity are often beyond the reach of men, and now the old lady of the Zhang family is not even scratching, and the young master Qian is full of scars on his face and neck?

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more ugly, a few people on the side hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him, although Master Zhang, who had been silent, protected his old wife at this time, he also looked at Young Master Qian like an enemy. When his daughter had an accident, he, as a husband, was still spending all day drinking, which is unforgivable to think about.

Xu Chu looked at the embarrassed Young Master Qian, and when he saw him facing Ai Ai, he couldn't help but step forward and pull him. This hand, but found that a piece of jade pendant fell from him, which was extremely beautiful.

"Young Master Qian, is this your jade pendant?" The jade pendant in his hand is delicate and moist, even a person like Xu Chu who doesn't understand jade can see that it is a good thing, "It looks very valuable, you should put it away." ”

"Let Miss Xu smile, this is the heirloom of the Qian family, I am afraid that there is no second piece of the same in the world." may have been furious by the hateful gaze of the Zhang family, and Xu Chu gave a step at the right time, which made Young Master Qian's attitude towards Xu Chu even kinder.

After the chaotic scene, several people arrived at Wenwanyuan.

The next thing is actually to say that the boundary of the work has been crossed, but Xu Chu is different from the general work, she has known since she was a child that in addition to the autopsy, she must also collect evidence as much as possible, so as to provide the most basis for the person who investigates and judges the case. What's more, if she wants to get the reward of fifty taels of silver, she has to help the Zhang family solve the doubtful case, and as for the follow-up of the government, it is not for her to care.

Now that Xu Chu entered the room where Mrs. Qian Shao died suddenly, he saw that the doors and windows were intact, and then he saw that there were no unevenness on the bed, but because of the great business of the Qian family, the bedding was soft and extremely comfortable. So, where did the mark on the young lady's back come from?

During the previous autopsy, Mrs. Qian Shao had obvious symptoms of suffocation, but there were no injuries on her mouth, nose and neck, and she also carefully checked the deceased's mouth and nose and there were no foreign objects. In addition to the sudden illness and sudden death, how did the murderer do it? And what is the relationship between the cause of death and the mark on her back?

Xu Chu frowned, ignoring the anxious expressions of the few people who would enter the house with her, and he didn't care about the intentions of the man who had been examining him, but he was just a person who was curious about her investigation of the case. After so many years, she has encountered so many doubts and disdainful eyes, so naturally she will not care about it for a few scrutinies.

She carefully looked at the bed, reached out and touched the soft pillow and quilt, and finally her fingers stopped on the Shu brocade pillowcase embroidered with mandarin ducks. At this time, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in her mind, and then as if she had some doubts, she rubbed her hand slightly. After a while, he leaned over and knelt down on the bed. It's just that her posture is very weird, not like kneeling, not like investigating anything, but like comparing the size of the bed......

"I see."

The muttering voice fell, and she began to bend down and look up and down the bed inch by inch, as if to confirm something. Until I found a bead-like object at the foot of the bed.

At this time, because of the touching scene, the Zhao family who came with him had already avoided the door, and although Young Master Qian forcibly followed in, he only stood outside the screen and did not speak, but the strange man looked at her without saying a word.

"What did you find?" The autumn breeze blew in from the window, with a bit of coldness, but it made the man's low and cold voice a little less abrupt.

Xu Chuxiu's eyebrows were raised slightly, his eyes were condensed, and he looked up at the man, and then said lightly: "I don't know if King Jing'an brought the guards with him?" ”

The man was stunned at first, as if he didn't expect Xu Chu to guess his identity, and when the two looked at each other, he suddenly felt relieved that Xu was really going to make this trip worthwhile. He immediately spoke: "Naturally." ”

"Then I bothered the prince to help invite the shopkeeper of the Yunhai Rouge Shop to come, and then bring the record book of the young lady's purchase of rouge."

King Jing'an saw that Xu Chu didn't want to say more, so he stopped asking. First, he also had a guess in his heart, and secondly, he really wanted to see what step the inconspicuous woman in front of him could check.

There are many smart women in ancient times, but there are many who can perform autopsies and investigate cases alone, and it is simply unique. But a case at hand needs a woman's examiner......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but squint and then walked to the side of the bed in a few steps and commanded. Then, a black shadow fell, and I saw that the man was dressed in a dark robe, majestic, and although he didn't speak, he was still murderous.
