Chapter 39: Murder

"Huh-"

I don't know how many times she sighed, looking at the white paper spread out in front of the table, half an hour passed, she still didn't put down the pen, she was dazzled by the words in the book, and finally she decided to go out for a walk and change her mood.

From the back garden to the backyard, I saw a maid sneaking around by the lake, looking very weird.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ling Xiaoxiao screamed.

When he heard the sound, the man fled in a panic as if he was frightened, without looking back.

Ling Xiaoxiao was very curious, looked at the middle of the lake, and saw a woman's clothes floating on the surface of the lake from a distance.

Where is this dress, there is a real person floating in the middle of the lake!

Soon, the backyard was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and although they were stopped, a group of maids and servants still came forward and speculated with each other.

"It's miserable, you're young, why can't you think about it like that?"

"Eh, that's not necessarily if you can't think about it, in case someone murders you." As soon as the words fell, the maids, you look at me, I look at you, and there is a look of horror on your face.

"You can't talk nonsense about this, let's wait for them to catch people, I don't know who is so unlucky."

......

Half an hour later, the officers and soldiers carried a corpse on a stretcher, and the wet hair covered the cheeks, making it impossible to distinguish the man's true face, but judging from the exposed skin, it seemed that it had been soaked for a long time.

Just as the maid and the little maids were discussing, a loud voice sounded behind them: "Isn't there anything to do?"

You don't have to listen to the sound to know who it is, the maids and the little maids have avoided it, and they have made a way in the middle.

A woman of about forty years old walked from the middle, and the ring ruler in her hand waved back and forth in the air, which was very dazzling.

"Official, what happened?" The face changed from the seriousness just now to the current flattery, and everyone looked at each other.

The official at the head looked at Aunt Liu, and then asked, "You are in charge of things here?"

Aunt Liu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I am in charge of the people." ”

Pointing to the corpse on the ground, "Then go and see, is it from your Fengxian Pavilion." ”

Aunt Liu stepped forward while answering, took out a handkerchief from her arms, covered the tip of her nose, pulled the hair, and looked at it carefully.

got up, bowed his head and replied: "Official, it is from our pavilion, and his name is Shizuka." ”

The official nodded, then stepped forward and asked, "Who was the first to find the body?" ”

The crowd looked at each other, and then a man emerged from the crowd, raised his hand, and said, "It's me." ”

The official waved at her, "Come here." ”

Ling Xiaoxiao passed the officers and soldiers who were blocking and came to him, and heard the official ask, "Tell me, how did you find the corpse?" ”

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the corpse lying on the stretcher, he was still a little cold, and raised his head to meet Shangguan Cha's searching gaze.

"That's the kind of official, I stayed in the house a little idle today, so I went out for a stroll, and when I got to this backyard, I happened to see a person sneaking by the lake, so I shouted, and the man ran away in a panic when he heard the sound, and then I saw the corpse floating in the lake." Ling Xiaoxiao said truthfully.

"You're saying you're not the first eyewitness?"
