That is to say, if she is really jealous and cursed for the wind, then Aunt Liu is more likely to commit a crime than others. Character is one thing, arrogance but no capital is another.

But in addition, if Aunt Yang does not abide by women's morals, the scope of the murderer will be wider. If that's the case, first of all, the murderer knows Aunt Yang's private life very well and is familiar with her habits. Moreover, the murderer himself attaches great importance to the rules and follows the etiquette and abides by the women's way of three obedience and four virtues.

But if you really want to be such a person, how can you deviate from the murder and skin? It's so bizarre that it's hard to understand.

However, according to criminal psychology, it is not impossible to have criminal behavior that violates common sense. Even the most unlikely scenario cannot be ruled out until the matter is settled.

She listed the doubts in her heart, and recalled the general orientation and layout of Aunt Yang's yard and garden. After a little calculation, he continued: "Why did the murderer tie up Aunt Yang with something as obvious as a quilt? If you change to cotton clothes, or even cotton cloth or the like, it will also avoid showing the scars of the bundle, and either one is much more convenient than the quilt. ”

"Unless the quilt was taken out in the first place, or the murderer had entered the deceased's room to take the quilt away......" Xiao Qinglang frowned slightly, his knuckled fingers tapped the table, and he said in silence for a moment, "And apart from the murderer, the only people who can take the quilt out of the house are none other than two people." It's either Aunt Yang herself, or the maid who serves her. And sneaking into the deceased's room is not too difficult......"

Xu Chu's expression was slightly stunned. However, she also knew that Xiao Qinglang would never talk about it, and in the past few cases, whenever he opened his mouth, he would inevitably find something. Therefore, she did not refute it at the moment, but wrote another article on the codex.

"Yan'er had already rested when she entered the dark, and many people testified, and she never left the room during the period. At that time, Aunt Yang had not been killed, so it could not be her. If according to the former possibility, the only possibility is that Aunt Yang brought the quilt out by herself. ”

But, for no reason, what did she do when she went out with the quilt?

But if it wasn't her, who had sneaked into Aunt Yang's room?

Suddenly, a possibility exploded in Xu Chu's mind, and she suddenly raised her head, "Let someone check that distant cousin of Aunt Yang." ”

A person who has no learning and no skills, and has a problem with his conduct, after being kicked out of the Song Mansion, can still get Song Derong's care, and even buy him a yard. Could it really be Song Derong Renyi?

No, judging from Song Derong's performance in Lotus Villa, as well as his cold-bloodedness during the incident with Yu Niang, he is not a good person. And all the things he did against the peace must have been done for a reason, and her intuition told her that it was related to the White Bone Case.

She thought of it, and Xiao Qinglang naturally understood. But seeing Xiao Qinglang take a sip of tea without hurrying, and then said with a smile: "I have arranged for someone to secretly investigate this matter, and I think we will see the results when we go back." ”

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that when he was in Liulin Village, he also had an early insight into the opportunity. Even when he uncovered the mystery one by one on the south bank, he had already laid out the game and could only settle the case.

If she said that at that time, she would still be in a trance, and she would feel embarrassed in her heart. Now, her thoughts are already very light. Regardless of the fact that she wanted to concentrate on the autopsy, just saying that there is someone who can think about what you think and shelter you is enough to make her feel at ease.

In her heart, the best state should be that one day she can devote herself to an autopsy and provide all the clues that can be provided for the detective. Then, one person was able to follow the clues she gave to find out the case. In other words, Xu Chu still hopes that the division of labor can be clear, after all, now, what she has done has long exceeded the boundaries of work and even forensics.

"When did Childe find out?" Xu Chu tilted his head, and his rare tone was a little relaxed.

Xiao Qinglang chuckled lightly, glanced at her, and said lightly but with a faint pride and pride: "After the official replied." ”

"Even if that person doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, he must have a basis, but when the official answers, he doesn't know the inside story. So I guess there must be twists and turns. ”

Xiao Qinglang, who has always been cold, didn't know at this time that his state was like a peacock showing off to a female. Because he likes it, and because Xiao Chu is too good, he wants to express himself more and more in front of her.

Xu Chu raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Childe's intuition is really keen, it seems that I still have to learn." ”

As the two of them were talking, they saw Song Derong open the heavy curtain with an angry face and entered. Behind him, followed by a pair of master servants escorted by two officials.

Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu were silent, and looked over with a little astonishment, but saw that the pair of master servants were Aunt Liu and Xiang'er.

At this time, the two of them, who were clean and slim, were already embarrassed, and now as soon as the official behind them let go, the two of them had collapsed and knelt on the ground. Especially Aunt Liu, her appearance was very miserable, she knelt forward and kowtowed to Song Derong one after another, crying: "Master, I was wronged, I didn't kill anyone...... I didn't kill anyone......"

However, before she finished speaking, she heard the official report of the visit, saying that Aunt Liu had sent her maidservant Xiang'er to buy cinnabar from Mr. Zhao, the doctor who was often invited by the house, yesterday. At that time, Dr. Zhao specially explained that cinnabar was poisonous and should be stored properly, and even took a small cloth bag for Xiang'er to place cinnabar.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and handed the thing he found under the pillow in Aunt Liu's room to Rong who sent it.

Song Derong looked up and opened it, but saw that there was half a bag of cinnabar inside, and the amount seemed to be quite a lot.

Immediately, Song Derong looked impatient, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "What about the bloody quilt found in your room, and your broken nails?" And this half bag of cinnabar, could it be that someone else framed you? ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, although there was pity for Aunt Yang, but more of it was worry about his career future. He gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect me to raise such a wolf-hearted thing as you, on weekdays, you are in harmony with Aunt Yang on the surface, but I have turned a blind eye to many evil things you have done in private." But now, you don't know how to measure anymore, you even dare to kill people, and you still want to skin people alive. Do you think that if you put on human skin, you can get/pamper/love? ”

"Master, I didn't kill anyone, it's really not ......me," Aunt Liu struggled and panicked, "I didn't put the quilt, and I don't know what's going on." On weekdays, I am jealous that Aunt Yang robbed the master's pet/pet/, but even if I resent and hate, I don't dare to kill anyone......"

She was really scared, she was just worried that the evil qi would infect her, so she filled the house with the smell of wormwood. Which Cheng thought, it was precisely because of the choking smell that the bloody smell of the quilt and dagger under the bed was also covered.

However, she couldn't figure out who was trying to harm her. But no matter who it was, she couldn't take any guesses now, looking at the old man's face, she knew that if she couldn't justify herself today, then she would definitely lose her life.

"Master, you know me, I'm just greedy, I always want to fight with my wife and Aunt Yang, but I really don't have the courage to kill." She whimpered and cried, "I didn't go out all night last night, and smoked wormwood for a night, this incense can testify to me." ”

Xiang'er on the side also kowtowed again and again to prove that her face had already been blurred by tears. The rouge powder was mixed, and the tears washed out of the two ravines, which was really miserable.

Aunt Liu was afraid that Song Derong wouldn't believe it, so she simply pulled her sleeves and clothes forward, "If the master doesn't believe it, just smell it, it's all the smell of wormwood smoke." ”

Song Derong looked at her like this, and the conjecture in his heart gradually wavered. Although this woman's temperament is a little worse, she is not bold enough to do this. However, for the sake of prudence, he still asked coldly, "Then what is the matter with your nails?" Why does it keep going early and late, but today it's half broken! ”

Aunt Liu saw that Song Derong was willing to listen to her, her expression relaxed slightly, and she hurriedly wiped a handful of tears and explained: "Master, in the middle of the night last night, except for that scary thing, so I asked Xiang'er to bring the stove for burning wormwood to the bed. As a result, when I woke up this morning, I accidentally threw my hand directly on it, and half of my fingernail was knocked off......"

"At that time, my fingernails were bleeding, and I asked Xiang'er to bring me a handkerchief to wrap it. The veil should still be in my house now, if the lord doesn't believe it, you can send someone to find it. She couldn't panic now, but she didn't dare to hide anything. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's useful or useless, as long as it can be explained, she will say it all in one go.

On the side, Xiang'er's head was broken, but she didn't dare to pause. She knew in her heart that if her aunt was charged with murder, then she would definitely not be able to escape as a maid.

My aunt is still protected by my lord, so I may not lose my life. But she's different, she's just a maid, if the master asks her to take the blame, then her hundred lives are not enough to die.

Song Derong waved his hand to let people check, and after a while, the person who came really presented a bloodstained handkerchief.

At this point, things are getting more and more confusing. Song Derong, who was very determined just now, also looked at Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu with a calm face.

The two of them naturally knew what Song Derong meant, so Xu Chu got up and walked to the quilt and the murder weapon to check.

The blood stains of the dagger had dried up and darkened slightly, obscuring the originally sharp blade. Xu Chu has seen this dagger repeatedly, and it looks like the dagger sold on the street outside, there is nothing special and no characteristics.

And on the inside of the quilt, there were indeed large blood stains. It's just that after seeing this blood stain, Xu Chu not only didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned, very solemn.
