Chapter 39 Post-mortem
It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the black magpie was flying south, and the cold wind outside the curtain was bleak, and the already bare branches outside the door creaked, making people have no intention of sleeping.
Jiang Cailing had already washed and lay down, but she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so she simply lit the candle and got up and sat next to the table.
Although the murderer of Yu Hejia was not found today, he already knew in his heart that this case must be indispensable to Su Qingcheng. The thousands of strands are like a thin rope that is entangled, and the cutting is still messy, except for guessing that this matter is related to Su Qingcheng, there is no clue at all. The only clue is counting on He Xiaoxiao's body, and how to arrange He Xiaoxiao to be by his side in the future is also a problem, sighing softly, and comforting himself in his heart: There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.
With a low sigh, Gu Jiming's face appeared in his mind again, thinking about what he said, and even Bai He didn't know when he pushed open the door.
Bai He came in with a smile, "Girl, the hibiscus cake made by Mrs. herself, said that it was the girl's favorite food, and told her to rest early." ”
Seeing Bai He holding a mahogany food box in his hand, he nodded and asked her to put it on the table.
"You go and rest first." After that, Bai Lotus retired, Jiang Cailing picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, the white glutinous pastry was crystal clear, and the hibiscus filling in the middle was mixed with rose juice to make it more pink and ruddy, which looked appetizing. She gently pinched a piece and put it in her mouth, and couldn't help but sigh that this mother's craftsmanship was really exquisite. Interested, Jiang Cailing took out a jar of plum wine hidden under the bed, uncorked the wine, and the room was instantly fragrant.
However, after a long time, a plate of hibiscus cake has been eaten up by Jiang Cailing, and the plum wine has also bottomed out.
Leaning on the back of the chair with a drowsy mind, the window was blown open by the wind, and the cool breeze blowing in did not relieve Jiang Cailing's drunkenness, the corners of her lips smiled, and her slender fingers held the wolf's hair, dipped in pen and ink, and sprinkled what was written on the rice paper.
The pen is arbitrary, the font is flying, and it is exactly the words that were once sent to Gu Jiming's flower note, "The flowers fall in the water, and the flowing water flows eastward." ”
Fallen flowers can no longer be branches, how can flowing water return to the west.
Jiang Cailing looked at the ink with a foolish smile, and muttered softly, "Ah Ye, we ......"
Half-dreaming and half-drunk, Jiang Cailing seemed to see a cold and handsome face, a pair of black eyes filled with fine starlight, and gently held her in her arms......
At the beginning of the dawn through the window, Jiang Cailing woke up, the hangover made her forehead a little painful, she raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, and found that she was lying on the bed, covered by the quilt, and even the window that was blown open by the wind yesterday was tightly closed, thinking that it was made by Bai He, so she didn't take it to heart.
Jiang Cailing was about to go to Taozhenju to have a look, wearing a hat and dressing up in disguise in the old Tang Dynasty, but she was afraid that the hat would happen again that day, so she thickly applied a layer of white fat powder on her face, and then put on a heavy blush, knowing that even she could see her true appearance, and then quietly left Hefu.
Taozhenju was full of people, very lively, and there was a long queue outside the door, and Huzi was busy maintaining order. Jiang Cailing didn't expect the business to be so prosperous, and when she was surprised, she suddenly heard the crowd say, "This Taozhen Ju is really strange!" ”
"What's the strange way?"
"You don't know this, this Taozhen House was first cut the ribbon by Mr. Qingyu, and yesterday it was rumored that the Soul Rejuvenation Pill in this store actually saved Gu Xiang, do you know that Gu is injured from time to time!"
It was to perfunctory everyone why she had an excuse to bring Gu Jiming back to life, but she didn't want anyone to hear about it, which had advantages and disadvantages for her, the advantage was to expand her reputation and increase her income, but the disadvantage was that it was extremely easy to expose her identity.
Qingniang was the first to see Jiang Cailing standing outside the door, and asked Hao Zheng to help spread all the way so that Jiang Cailing could come in and enter the quiet inner room.
Jiang Cailing flipped through a few pages of the account book and found that since yesterday, the store's income has doubled, and just as she was about to leave, Hao Zheng grabbed Jiang Cailing's cuffs and said, "Girl, I still have something to tell you about the case of Princess Hejia." ”
Jiang Cailing couldn't help but be surprised, and sat down again, "Brother Hao, please speak." ”
Hao Zheng looked around and saw that there was no one around, and he whispered, "I heard about Princess Hejia, and I don't know why this trumped-up charge is always on the girl's head?" I remembered a case that happened when I was still arresting fast, and I wondered if it would help the girl find out the truth. ”
Jiang Cailing sat down with interest and nodded to him, allowing him to continue.
"It was a case a few years ago, the eldest son of a rich old man's family has a wife, the two are very affectionate, the eldest son has no concubines, and he never goes to a place like Hualiu Lane, which shows that he is very affectionate to his wife. But one day, because his wife was taken captive and raped, she committed suicide with hatred, and the eldest son killed the bad guy in anger. ”
"There are feelings outside the law, but it is really sad to kill people to pay for their lives."
"Do you know who is behind this?"
"Isn't it a wicked man who is dead?"
Hao Zheng shook his head and said helplessly, "This eldest son's younger brother is a gentleman, and his person has a bad record, but his brother is extremely talented, especially in business, he has a unique vision, and he will only have a small share of this huge family property in the future, and he can't help but feel dissatisfied in his heart, so he used the love and intimacy of his brother and sister-in-law, and united outsiders to kidnap his sister-in-law to tarnish his innocence, anger his brother, let him go to prison after murder, and finally enjoy the family property alone." It's the same root, so why be in a hurry. ”
This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other.
Jiang Cailing, not only was her eyes deep in thought, but Hao Zheng obviously deliberately told her this story.
With a flash of eyes, Nanzhao Helian and Hezhi are such examples, the state affairs of Nanzhao have always been complicated, especially the current crown prince has no earth-shattering talent, Helian, who can be civil and martial, is her biggest threat, if it is not for the eldest son, I am afraid that there is no chance to become a prince at all, but it is like the vicious brother in the story.
Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Cailing's expression froze, and after thanking Hao Zheng, she hurriedly walked out of Taozhen Residence and rushed to Dali Temple, where Princess Hejia was parked.
I have been delaying too much time on human evidence, how can I be stupid enough to forget that the real evidence should be on the deceased!
Just because of the hurry, Jiang Cailing's forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat, and her face was pale.
As the princess of Nanzhao, Hejia's body is also very important, especially about the war between the two countries, whether tens of thousands of people will be displaced. After the leadership of several guards, she finally came to the cold stone room, only to see a crystal coffin placed in the middle of the stone room, Jiang Cailing had not yet approached, the weaving felt cold, and she was brought closer by the puppet, only to see that there was an ice coffin in the crystal coffin.
And the princess of Nanzhao, who was still very conceited a few days ago, has died at this moment, and her soul has been broken.
She was lying in the ice coffin like that, the face that originally had the posture of a captivating city was very pale at the moment, and the beautiful eyes were still very wide, and the back of the full head was also half broken due to the fall.
Jiang Cailing's eyes flashed unbearably, she looked away, and asked the servant on the side, "Have you found it?" ”
He rolled up his cuffs, led Jiang Cailing and said, "Princess Hejia fell from a high altitude and died, and there was no trace of struggle before her death. We have sent people to inspect the scene of the crime, although the tower is 100 feet high, but it is very strong, including the surrounding fence is very solid, it is impossible to fall down. ”
Jiang Cailing nodded in agreement and spoke slowly, "And there was no one at the scene of the crime at that time except me, so I am afraid that the person who can make Princess Hejia ask out and relax her vigilance is a familiar person, could it be an acquaintance who committed the crime?" ”
I didn't expect that the waste material lady of the He family still had such reasoning ability, and she couldn't help but be impressed by her.
In this way, the target is very easy to lock, and it is a competitive relationship between himself and Princess Hejia, and it is feasible to make an appointment, but it is not possible to let him relax his vigilance, and there are only Helianjia and Gu Jiming left. Helian Jia is about impossible, first of all, his sister, and secondly, he also hurt Gu Xiang, an important minister of a country, because of his anger that day.
If he wanted to make meritorious contributions in Nanzhao, he would never do such a thing without consideration, and Gu Jiming would not do anything to a weak woman.
These people are all excluded, so who else? Can you make an appointment to let your guard down and kill you, or walk away without leaving a trace?
While Jiang Cailing was pondering, a gust of wind blew, blowing out all the lights used for lighting around, and someone shouted: "Princess Hejia has come to ask for her life!" ”
Jiang Cailing frowned, she only felt that her wrist was cold and was grabbed by someone, she couldn't help but feel a little bored in her heart, she reprimanded, "Who dares to make a mistake here, come here!" Palm light! ”
The already clear voice became full of nobility at this moment, so that others listened to it, and there was fear in their hearts.
The crowd gradually quieted down, and after a while, someone turned on the lights again, and the next moment, everyone exclaimed, only to see that Princess Hejia, who was still lying in the ice coffin, had sat up at this moment, she looked straight at Jiang Cailing, and her hands were still holding Jiang Cailing's hand, and there were a few lines of big characters written in blood on the crystal coffin, "Give me back my life." ”
Jiang Cailing turned around and faced a pair of hideous faces, because they were moved, the skin implanted on the repaired face fell off like wall skin, revealing white blood vessels. Seeing such a terrifying scene, if it were an ordinary woman, she would be screaming, but who was she Jiang Cailing?
When it comes to ghosts, she is now a ghost whose longevity has been possessed by others.
It's all ghosts, and it's good to meet each other.
Jiang Cailing shook off the dead body's hand, only to see Princess Hejia's body stiff and collapsed, and everyone regained their composure.
The stone chamber is impermeable, where does the wind come from? Jiang Cailing fears heaven and earth, but she doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, and Fang Cai's tricks are very clumsy. The other party blocked her like this, just to prevent her from finding out the truth.
The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, so that the truth really lies in Hejia's corpse!
