Volume 2 ❀ Ignorant years, two by two Chapter 034 The murderer
According to the recollections of people at the time, Song Mingqing was in good physical condition when he got up today, and his spirit was much more sufficient. So I decided to go to the study to sort out the documents that had been piled up in the Ministry of Rites in the past few days.
Song Mingqing never liked outsiders to disturb when dealing with government affairs, so he sent people to serve inside and outside the house. When it was almost noon, the next person went to the study to summon him for lunch, and saw that no one responded to many calls outside the door, so he went into the study to check, and found Song Mingqing lying on the ground.
The little guy thought that Song Mingqing was unwell, so he fell to the ground. But when he took a closer look, he found that Song Mingqing was no longer breathing, and there was blood at the place where his head fell.
So within a quarter of an hour, the people of the entire Song Mansion knew about it. After the old lady found out, she couldn't believe it, and when she saw Song Mingqing who fell to the ground, she couldn't withstand the huge fluctuations in her heart and fainted for a while.
When she knew that the old man was killed, the old lady hurriedly called all the suspicious people in the house, and after asking a few words, Ye Yufu came back.
The appearance in the study is still the same as when Song Ming and Qing were dead, and the stacks of books that were originally piled high on the desk have all fallen to the ground at this moment, and there are blood stains on the sharp corners of the table, and there are also dark red blood stains on the ground.
Wu Wei stepped forward to check the books scattered on the ground, Ye Yufu also looked around the study carefully, and the two of them checked for about half an hour.
"Princess, what do you think?" Wu Wei touched his chin and frowned, looking at the blood on the ground and asked Ye Yufu.
Ye Yufu stroked a book written by Song Mingqing when he was young, and said word by word with a heavy face: "Obviously, my grandfather had a violent dispute with someone, and the person pushed my grandfather in anger, but my grandfather's head hit the sharp corner of the table, and he fainted, and no one happened to find it in time, so he lost too much blood in his brain after a few hours..."
The two of them were silent all the way through the main hall, obviously digesting what they had just seen.
After being silent for a long time, Wu Wei said: "I think the person who killed Lord Song should be a man. ”
Ye Yufu was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "How do you say this?" ”
Wu Wei clearly began to state what he was thinking at this moment: "Judging from the way the books on the table fell, it was obviously not caused by Lord Song's body being pushed down, but by someone deliberately knocking him to the ground, I carefully checked the number of books scattered on the ground, the number was huge, and it was only done by one person at a time, and only a man with such arm length and strength was a man, and it was a man in the prime of life." ”
Ye Yufu thought about it carefully, and felt quite reasonable, but it was still not convincing enough, so she said: "But this is said to be a man's doing, which is rash and cannot convince the public." ”
Wu Wei had long thought that Ye Yufu would say this, so he replied: "Of course it's not just this, it makes me think that the one who murdered Lord Song must be a man, I don't know if the princess has noticed one thing." ”
Ye Yufu frowned and thought, Fang Cai himself also carefully checked everything in the study, but he couldn't find anything else noteworthy except for the books scattered on the ground. He shook his head at Wu Xu.
Wu Wei smiled: "The place I noticed is the piece of land in front of the threshold. There is a less obvious footprint there.
"Footprints? It's winter, and there's no dirt on the road, so how can I leave footprints. Ye Yufu really didn't notice the location of the threshold, but the footprints on the ground of this study would not be left behind.
"I believe that the person who murdered Lord Song would never have thought that he left footprints on the ground, and I don't think many people will notice it except me." Wu Wei's face was calm, and he was obviously already in control.
He continued: "Lord Song went to the study early in the morning, and the person who murdered Lord Song should have arrived in the study after a few of us left the house, that is, after noon. ”
Ye Yufu nodded and motioned for Wu Wei to continue.
"The temperature rose in the middle of the day, so the snow on the ground melted a little, and the man entered the door with a little water under his boots. stepped on the floor of the study. ”
"Then why is it just that there are footprints on the threshold, and there are no traces in it?" Ye Yufu then asked.
"It was because the stove in the study was so hot that the water on the ground quickly disappeared, and the location of the threshold was due to the cold wind blowing under the door from time to time, so it froze and stayed. And the size of the footprint is obviously only a man's own. ”
Ye Yufu suddenly realized: "Then all the women can get rid of suspicion, and the rest of the people just need to be investigated." ”
Wu Wei shook his fingers when he heard Ye Yufu's words: "Actually, it's not so troublesome, because I already have the answer in my heart." The princess will only need to play a play with me in a moment, and she will find the murderer. ”
Everyone in the room has been kneeling for more than two hours since the accident, and they can't cry anymore, and their faces are all full of sadness.
Where has Song Yue knelt for so long on weekdays, she couldn't hold back where the ghost cried and howled, and the second aunt was also pampered on weekdays, and she kept complaining and complaining.
And Song Chen was still under low pressure because of what happened just now, kneeling on the ground and not knowing what he was thinking, and the second aunt called him several times without answering.
Suddenly, there was a light cough, and everyone turned around, and saw that Wu Wei and Ye Yufu had appeared at the door at some point.
Everyone looked at the two of them nervously, and then unexpectedly, Ye Yufu lowered her long eyelashes with a layer of frost and said slowly: "Let's go back today, General Wu and I have found decisive evidence in the study, and we will go back to tell the old woman in a while." Ye Yufu deliberately bit the word study.
The second aunt moved her kneeling numb knee and asked in a shrieked voice, "I wonder if you can tell you who the prisoner is." ”
Wu Wei smiled lightly: "What I can say is that all women can get rid of suspicion." ”
Hearing this, the little guys below, including the guards and other men, all looked at each other.
Ye Yufu and Wu Wei glanced at each other, the purpose was achieved, the two of them first wanted to let the prisoner have this consciousness of betrayal, and then said that there were decisive clues in the study.
The next thing to do is to wait for the rabbit, and the two will next create the illusion that no one is patrolling the study anymore, and then hide aside, at this time, if there is someone sneaking up in the study, it must be to destroy the person who is trying to destroy the evidence.
When Wu Wei first said this plan, Ye Yufu didn't believe that it would succeed, after all, the other party might not necessarily believe in this evidence that did not necessarily exist.
But Wu Wei obviously looks confident. And let Yan'er go and call the old lady over.
The two of them hid behind a large screen in the study at the moment, quietly waiting for someone to appear for a while, and it didn't take long for Ye Yufu to hear the sound of someone stepping into the study.
Ye Yufu poked her head out lightly, but what she saw was a person she hadn't thought of.
Song Chen was bent over the books that had fallen on the ground at this time, with an anxious and panicked look on his face.
"How... How could it be..."Ye Yufu muttered.
Wu Wei also said softly: "It's not over yet, the next thing is the key." ”
I saw Song Chen looking down for a long time, and finally pulled out a letter that seemed to be full of words in a book. Then laugh out loud. Put it in your arms and leave.
This is Wu Wei's quick eye, so he dodged and left from the screen, and grabbed Song Chen, who had already stepped out of the threshold with one leg with a backhand, and looked down to see that the foot was exactly the same size as the ice footprints on the ground.
Song Chen broke free violently at this moment, and after breaking free for a long time but to no avail, he shushed and said, "I don't know why General Wu is in this place." ”
Wu Wei raised his eyebrows and asked, "I want to ask why you are here." ”
Song Chen's heart was weak at the moment, but he had to bite the bullet and say, "I... I'm the eldest young master of the Song Mansion, come to the study to see what's wrong. ”
After speaking, Song Chen aimed at Wu Wei's moment of relaxation, and his elbow quickly hit back, breaking free from Wu Wei's clamp.
But what kind of person is Wu Wei, his body reacts faster than his brain, his right leg quickly stepped forward and tripped Song Chen, and then his hands firmly wrapped around Song Chen's neck.
At this moment, Song Chen was completely unable to move, and scolded Wu Wei is loudly: "Little rabbit cub, what position do you have to take care of the affairs of our Song family, I can afford you to stay in the Song Mansion for the past two days, don't think that you can intervene in everything!" ”
Wu Weili ignored Song Chen, but summoned Ye Yufu, who was still hiding behind the screen.
Song Chen's face turned pale when he saw Ye Yufu, and his speech was also hesitant.
"Princess, take out the letter he just hidden!" Song Chen's body shook even more violently when he heard this, and he was anxious to get rid of Wu Wei's restrictions. But he still couldn't move.
"Nope! Don't take it out! Song Chen shouted at Ye Yufu, but it was useless at the moment, Ye Yufu suddenly took out the letter that Song Chen hid in his chest.
When I opened it, it turned out to be my grandfather's handwriting, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be the will he made before his death!
It is written that half of the property distribution of the Song Mansion was left to Mrs. Song, and the other part was given to the children born to the Han family, and less than one-tenth was left to Song Chen and his second aunt's children.
The Song family has been an official for generations, and the family background is solid, which can provide food and clothing for everyone in the Song Mansion for several lifetimes, and the amount of one-tenth is also considerable, but Song Chen will be satisfied with this. He also learned about the will by chance.
The more Ye Yufu looked down, the more cold she felt, and after a while, she gently folded her will and looked at Song Chen coldly: "Uncle, did you kill your grandfather?" ”
Song Chen tilted his head and didn't look at Ye Yufu, but his constantly trembling lips betrayed his heart, and he pretended to be calm and said, "What are you talking nonsense!" How could I have killed my own biological father! ”
Ye Yufu looked at Song Chen with a sad face, and was completely disappointed in his heart: "Then why are you here, and how should this will be explained." And you look down and see that they are the footprints you left earlier! ”
Song Chen lowered his head in disbelief, and found that there was indeed an ice mark under his feet that was not very obvious, and the size and size of his feet completely coincided...
Wu Wei said at this time: "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
Song Chen lowered his head, and after a while, he laughed: "Even if you have a little brain, you will really find out that it is me, but after all, two children, do you think that I will come unprepared by such a person." ”
Ye Yufu frowned: "What do you mean." ”
Immediately afterwards, I heard Song Chen shouting: "Come out for me and arrest these two people!" ”
But after a long time of speaking, there was no movement outside, and Song Chen shouted a few more times, but there was still no movement outside. But the person who appeared next made Song Chen completely desperate.
