Chapter Ninety-Eight: Investigating the Real Murderer
Outside the inn, Tan Luo thought that the clothes on her body were too torn, so she went to the store to buy a skirt similar to what Yin Yin usually wears, and took a short rest before returning to the road.
It was already noon when she came to the Changsun Mansion, and Tan Luo walked straight to the Zhu Gate as before, but was stopped by two guards at the door.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The guard glanced at the beautiful girl, who was much more beautiful than the second lady of her family.
"I" Tan Luo wanted to speak and stopped, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I am the third lady of your family." ”
"Nonsense, the third lady of our eldest grandson's mansion was damaged as early as the day before yesterday, are you trying to make trouble?" The guard reprimanded.
"You mean she's dead?" Tan Luo was surprised, she was only missing at best, and looking at the white lantern hanging high on the door, and the black yarn wrapped around the guard's arm, how could they think that Yinyin was dead?
"Yinyin, she doesn't see anyone alive or dead, why do you say she's dead!" Tan Luo questioned loudly.
The guard at the door saw that the girl seemed to know her own young lady, and she actually knew the name of the third young lady.
"This matter is also a long story, but on the night of the third lady's disappearance, the second miss found a suicide note from her room, and it happened that the third miss had jumped into the lake once before to find her death, and she must have committed suicide one after another because of her unspeakable bitterness." The guard looked solemn and sighed at the death of the third lady.
"In the early morning of the day she disappeared, someone witnessed the third lady go out to find a carriage and go to the remote Longmen Mountain. What kind of place is Longmen Mountain, in the wilderness, I once heard that there was a martyrdom girl jumping off the cliff there. ”
"So you think she's jumping off a cliff too?" Tan Luo listened to it for a long time, and finally sorted out the clue.
"It's not just speculation." The guard looked sad, and then said, "The eldest young master and His Royal Highness King Qin sent five hundred elite soldiers to search Longmen Mountain and even the entire Luoyang City, and no news was found. When the old lady found out, she was in a coma for two days. ”
"Pity the third lady of our family, she is obviously going to marry King Qin and become a princess, why can't she think about it like this"
After listening to the guard's description, it was obvious that this was a misunderstanding, but the key to the misunderstanding was the suicide note.
"Where is the suicide note that the second lady found, can you show me?"
Carefully think about the cause and effect of the incident, from before she borrowed the corpse to return to her soul, Yinyin was pushed into the water, and then she was deceived into going to Longmen Mountain to go to the appointment with Hongyi, and then encountered the pursuit of the black-clothed masked man.
This is a prepared premeditation, first forcing her off the cliff, and then taking out the suicide note prepared in advance, creating the illusion that she is killing herself.
Who is it that has such a big blood feud with her?
"What is this suicide note, you ask?" The guards listened to her and looked at her vigilantly, this girl was a little incompatible, and a moment ago she wanted to pretend to be the third lady in their house.
"Actually, I'm Yinyin's best friend, and I'm also very sad to learn about it, so I want to read her last suicide note."
"That kind of precious object is naturally kept in the hands of the second lady." The guard said.
Hearing this, Tan Luo looked at the sky, and it seemed that she needed to come again in the evening.
It was late that night, and after Tan Luo changed into a set of night clothes, she came to the door of the eldest grandson's mansion again. Looking at the prominent word "Dian" on the lantern, she smiled helplessly, now this feeling of having a home and not being able to go back is really uncomfortable.
She inserted the dagger she had prepared in advance into her arms, jumped lightly, climbed over the wall, and saw that only the lobby in the mansion was still bright, and a few figures could be faintly seen shaking.
Through the open door of the lobby, she saw black and white silk hanging high on the beams, and a black lacquered coffin in the center. What was in this coffin must be the bones they found under the cliff, Tan Luo was cold.
And in the courtyard at the end of the right, is the boudoir of the second lady's eldest grandson, Huairou. Tan Luo sneaked to the door of the boudoir with ease, squatted outside to investigate for a long time, and after making sure that there was no one inside, she carefully pushed the door open and went into the house to cover it.
Usually women like to put precious objects on the dresser, or at least that's the kind of person she is. Tan Luo searched in the second lady's jewelry cabinet, and finally found the suicide note under the emerald jade bracelet.
She easily took out a luminous stone from the pile of jewelry of her eldest grandson Huairou, and when she opened the pupil, the faint light was enough for her to read the words on the paper.
Tan Luo looked carefully, this trace is indeed the sound of the sound, but it is only the main tone of the past.
Since she borrowed the corpse to return to her soul, she has never taken a brush, where did she get a suicide note. There are not many words on this suicide note, which can be described as concise and to the point, and the tone is very similar to the sound of the past.
Between the lines, she simply explained that she had already secretly promised that Mingzhu was secretly investing, but she wanted to marry His Royal Highness King Qin in an incomplete body, and she had no fate in this life, but she hoped that she would continue her relationship with her sweetheart in the next life.
This suicide note not only shows that Yinyin was not intended, and she was forced to marry the King of Qin, but she also ignored etiquette, righteousness and shame, and fornicated with a man and became pregnant, and her reputation can be said to be extremely ruined.
can use this kind of fake suicide note to confuse everyone, the murderer is definitely the person next to her!
Tan Luo's initial guess is that the maid in the house is the maid, but why did the other party do this?
Murdering her own lady is a big crime, Yinyin is dead, the only result is that this marriage is over, could it be that she still wants to marry Brother Yi?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the most likely. If it's just pure jealousy and revenge, there's no need to spend so much effort to get a human life.
Married to the King of Qin, she is the princess, and now the dynasty has changed, the war has been peaceful, and the national strength is becoming richer and stronger. The king of Qin had a heavy army, and even the crown prince of the dynasty did not dare to touch him. Putting these aside, with Hongyi's appearance and character, which woman does not have a spring and does not think about you.
I can't imagine that she herself is not greedy for these, but she is missed by other women, and she has to be put to death!
Tan Luo thought about it and put the suicide note back in its place. What she is entangled with is not to catch this murderer, but how to get things back to their original place and return to the Changsun Mansion to be her daughter.
She came all the way back in order to continue to stay in the eldest grandson's mansion to eat and drink, and by the way, on the day of her wedding, she would change places and continue to eat and drink. But who would believe that the girl who is now sinking into the fish and falling into the goose and closing the moon and shy flowers used to be the third young lady Yinyin who was not outstanding.
What's more, she wasn't in the first place, and she would be weak-hearted!
However, her ultimate goal is to marry Hongyi, the people of the Changsun Mansion don't believe it, as long as he believes it, it's enough, besides, Hongyi and her are also first acquaintances, and they are not impressed by the original main Yinyin, and it is a wise choice to coax him.
After making up her mind, Tan Luo was about to sneak out of here, and when she approached the door, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside.
It's too late!
She jumped onto the beam, held her breath, and watched the figure outside push the door into the room, and then the dark room lit up.
"As a subordinate of the house, don't you know that you shouldn't appear in Miss Ben's boudoir at night?"
The woman who said this was the eldest grandson Huairou, Yinyin's sister.
"Why, when the matter is over, you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" The man sneered, "Don't forget, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope now, don't forget the promise you made to me when you marry King Qin in the future!" ”
Tan Luo squatted on the beam, the two of them talking in a very low voice, and she could faintly hear some of them.
However, isn't the man standing with the eldest grandson Huairou the same person as Xu Zhangshi in her house, why did he have a private meeting with the second lady?
I only heard that Huairou was still holding a gentle smile, and she showed her famous demeanor in her gestures: "Miss Ben naturally remembers, said, why did you suddenly find me?" ”
"Remember the killers you asked me to find." Seeing that the woman's face froze, Xu Zhangshi continued unhurriedly, "Those killers were not successful enough to fail, and they were caught red-handed by King Qin's search team. ”
"What did you say!" The eldest grandson Huairou's face turned pale, but it was only a moment's work, and she returned to the same as before, "So what, the person is you looking for, and the order is also given by you, even if this matter is found out, it has nothing to do with Miss Ben!" ”
"Sure enough, it's a merciless person, no wonder even his own sister can't bear to do it, is this the answer to that sentence, called the most poisonous woman's heart!"
"Xu Zhangshi, you are just a subordinate of my house, even if you are doing things for Miss Ben now, what to say and what not to say, you shouldn't need Miss Ben to teach you."
"What the second lady said is very true, fortunately, there is no danger in this matter." Xu Zhang's accident was mysterious, "Those killers are said to be frightened and amnesiac, and they have forgotten everything about their assassination of the third lady. ”
"You mean, King Qin, he didn't find out who the mastermind was?"
"Exactly."
"There are still such good things in this world, and sure enough, even God is helping me." The eldest grandson Huairou evoked a sneer, Yinyin, my sister doesn't want to be ruthless against you, but you are too much of an eyesore.
"Now that the third lady has successfully disappeared from this world, you can also become the concubine of King Qin as you wish, but His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't seem to be enthusiastic enough about you." Xu Zhangshi said in a voice.
When the eldest grandson Huairou heard this, she scolded angrily: "Miss Ben's affairs are not allowed for you to intervene, take care of your own mouth, and when I become the princess, the position of Sima on King Qin's side is naturally in your pocket!" ”
"Then I won't disturb the future princess to go to bed, and the little one will retire." The corners of Xu Zhangshi's lips rose and bowed slowly.
The eldest grandson bowed his head and walked into the bedroom with his forehead.
The candles in the room went out, and Tan Luo squatted on the beams of the room in shock.
The truth of the matter turned out to be like this, for the position of the princess, she did not hesitate to buy murder, and she wanted to put her sister to death three times and twice!
Tan Luo suddenly felt infinite sorrow for the main voice, this innocent girl, and she didn't know who killed her until she died. Thinking that it was the man in purple who caused the tragedy, her expectation of marrying Hongyi was inexplicably colder.
No, how could she be so cheap to that femme fatale, go to see Hongyi, and tell him that I am Yinyin!
Tan Luo escaped from the eldest grandson's mansion and walked towards the distance under the night.
