Chapter 156: Clues

Chunfang's hesitation made Xie Qingqi extremely impatient, and said coldly: "Just say anything!" ”

At such a time, is there anything to hide?

"Later, the uncle was diagnosed with dreamwalking syndrome by the doctor, and the lady was worried that the uncle would be in danger if he was not awake at night, so he slept outside, so that the uncle could hear the movement and wake up in time once he sleepwalked......" Chunfang has served Mrs. Yongchang for many years, and choked up when she said this.

Xie Qingqi burst into tears, covered his face and cried: "Ah, my father and mother are so good, why did this happenβ€”β€”"

Jiang seemed to look at the blood-stained mattress.

If there is someone else who kills Mrs. Yongchangbo, because Mrs. Yongchangbo sleeps outside, it is very likely that she will not alarm the sleeping Yongchangbo. When the murderer killed someone, he put the candlestick in Yongchangbo's hand, and Yongchangbo woke up and suddenly saw the tragic death of his wife, and his first reaction was to pick up the candlestick at hand......

Of course, this is only a speculation based on the premise that Yongchangbo is not a murderer, and it cannot completely eliminate the possibility that Yongchangbo is not a murderer, after all, people can indeed do unthinkable things when they sleepwalk.

Jiang seemed to close his eyes and sniffed.

She was going to try to find a hint of something unusual in the bloodshed of the room.

Mrs. Yongchangbo is a person who loves incense, Jiang seems to be sniffing quietly, the faint orchid fragrance lingers in the room, and then there is a pot of four-season orchid on the flower table.

What else is the special smell?

Jiang seemed to try his best to distinguish it, and finally sniffed out a faint sweet smell.

The smell is very light, there are almost no traces of it, and the ginger seems to even think that it is luck to be able to smell it.

She still had her eyes closed, and she followed the smell.

Xie Qingqi grabbed her: "Ah, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang seemed to open his eyes, and the smell that he had struggled to catch suddenly disappeared, and then he looked at a blood-stained candlestick lying at his feet.

She was just about to take one more step before she stepped on the candlestick.

In addition to the blood-stained candlestick, there were also messy bloody footprints on the ground, apparently left by people in the chaos at the time of the incident.

Jiang didn't seem to pay attention to Xie Qingqi's words, tried his best to recapture the smell, and gradually smelled the smell again, and followed the smell in a certain direction.

Bypassing the screen that had fallen to the ground, avoiding the bloodstains on the ground, Jiang seemed to finally stop in front of the closet.

The wardrobe is divided into upper and lower cabinets, with four doors on the top and eight drawers on the bottom, symmetrical on the left and right, and the surface of the cabinet is carved with exquisite patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects.

It is not unusual that such a cabinet can be found in any rich house, and even the wood is almost the same.

"Ah, what are you looking at?" Xie Qingqi asked puzzled.

Jiang Ru took a deep breath and reached out to open the two cabinet doors.

In the door of the cabinet were the clothes, which did not fill the cupboard, but were folded and placed in the innermost part.

Xie Qingqi glanced at it and couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows.

The clothes placed on the top look crumpled, which shows that the maids are not careful at all.

Jiang seemed to sniff lightly.

The source of that smell is indeed here.

She couldn't tell what it was, but it was certain that it wouldn't be the usual incense used in lavender.

"Ah, did you find something?" Jiang's strange behavior made Xie Qingqi more and more confused.

Jiang seemed to carefully inspect the situation in the cabinet, and suddenly saw two fingerprints in the hidden place in the corner of the cabinet.

The fingerprints were not complete, but they were clear on the smooth lacquered countertop.

Jiang couldn't help but squint and leaned in to take a closer look.

Based on the angle and position of the fingerprints, it is unlikely that the maids packed up their clothes and put them in the closet.

"Qingqi, come and see."

Xie Qingqi saw two fingerprints under Jiang's guidance.

"Qingqi, do you know what that means?"

Xie Qingqi shook his head blankly: "Ah like, if you have something to say, you can just say it, my brain is messed up now, and I can't think of anything." ”

The sudden drastic change made this lively and hearty girl's thoughts wooden, and she lost her previous cleverness.

"Someone has been hiding in this closet." Jiang seemed to have come to a conclusion.

Xie Qingqi's apricot eyes widened a little: "What did you say?" ”

Without waiting for Jiang Yi to answer, her expression became excited: "Who would hide in the closet?" ”

At this time, she had already thought of the answer: the murderer who would hide in the closet, of course!

Xie Qingqi grabbed Jiang Yi's wrist: "Ah like, there is a murderer, then it proves that my mother was not killed by my father, right?" ”

Jiang seemed to hold Xie Qingqi's shoulder with one hand and said softly, "Of course." ”

With this discovery, she can already determine that there is someone else who killed Mrs. Yongchangbo.

This is the greatest possibility, but it needs to be proved by evidence. Someone hiding in the closet is the strongest evidence.

Only, what exactly is the smell?

"I'm going to tell my father and brother!" Xie Qingqi couldn't bear to be excited, and pulled Jiang Qi and walked out.

Unconsciously, this little girl has regarded Jiang as the backbone.

Jiang didn't seem to move with her: "Qingqi, I have a suggestion-"

Xie Qingqi paused: "You say." ”

"It's better to report the crime. The current Lord Yin Zhen of Shuntian Mansion has solved the case like a god, and has successively solved the case of the torture and murder of ten women by the Hou Shizi of Changxing and the violent death of 'Uncle Yang Guo'. Let his uncle invite him to come, and he will definitely find out the murderer and give his aunt justice. ”

Now that Yongchang Bo has been hit hard, Xie Qingqi is just a simple little girl, as for Xie Yinlou, Jiang doesn't seem to think that he alone can find out the murderer.

After thinking about it, it is the most appropriate way to ask Lord Zhen to intervene.

Of course, the deceased was Mrs. Bo, and she didn't want to invite anyone from the government to any of them. These noble families are very dignified, how can they tolerate the interrogation of people in the government, and it is even more difficult to accept the examination of the noble deceased.

Jiang seemed to say this, Xie Qingqi was really stunned, and he didn't react for a long time.

Jiang seemed to persuade: "What is more important than restoring my uncle's innocence, so that my uncle no longer bears the guilt of killing his wife, and finding the murderer to avenge my aunt?" ”

Xie Qingqi woke up like a dream: "You're right, I'll go and tell my father and brother!" ”

Seeing Xie Qingqi hurriedly running out, Jiang seemed to glance at the two maids guarding the door, and explained to Aman: "You stay here for the time being." ”

Since the murderer is someone else, how do you know that these maids who serve Mrs. Yongchangbo are innocent? To be on the safe side, of course, Ah Man was left to guard so as not to destroy the evidence they found.

At this time, Yongchangbo was tied up and couldn't move, and gradually stopped scolding, motionless as if he had lost his life.

Jiang Ancheng looked at his old neighbor, who had suddenly aged more than ten years, and sighed deeply.

How could this happen?

"Father!" Xie Qingqi ran quickly with his skirt, and because he was in a hurry, he knelt on Yongchangbo's knees, "Ah seems to have found someone else who killed his mother!" ”

Xie Yinlou, who had been silent, couldn't help but look at Jiang Ru.
