Qiong Zhi immediately sent the news one by one.

Sure enough, it was Zhou Yun's third son who was involved in the homicide case.

As a student, he should not have been in and out of brothels from time to time.

However, Lanyin Pavilion has always been elegant among many brothels, and the prostitutes in it are all famous for their art.

Therefore, this young gentleman felt that it was an elegant thing for him to listen to music and drink by himself, and he had a bit of the grace of a literati.

Wednesday Lang was invited by a friend yesterday to go to the Lanyin Pavilion for a drink. During the banquet, these gentlemen of the family also invited green beads to the banquet and played the pipa.

After only three songs, Luzhu pushed off his discomfort and went back to the room early to rest.

Seeing that Lu Zhu retreated, Wednesday Lang told his friends that he had something to do, and hurried out of the room.

According to the maid who was waiting for Lu Zhu by his side, after Zhou Lang came out, he stepped forward to stop Lu Zhu, saying that he had recently come across a volume of pipa music scores, which was from the hands of Liu Wushuang, who was in the previous dynasty, and wanted to discuss one or two with the lady.

Lu Zhu knows that this Wednesday Lang is the same as himself, and he is also a person who is obsessed with music, and in the past he came to listen to music, and the two occasionally chatted a few words, but he felt like a bosom friend.

Therefore, Lu Zhu didn't think much about it, so he invited him to his room to talk.

The maidservant waited outside the door, and could faintly hear the sound of tuning the piano and plucking the strings coming from the room.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of the pipa gradually slowed down, and Lu Zhu opened the door and ordered: "Go and get some refreshments, I still have some doubts in the score, I'm afraid I have to discuss with Zhou Langjun for a long time, you send the refreshments and go to rest first." ”

The maid knew in her heart that she was afraid that she was going to stay overnight on Wednesday.

Luzhu is an Oiran lady, her reputation is gradually fame, and she naturally doesn't have to ask the bustard mother one by one who wants to stay.

The maidservant lowered her eyes and agreed, and after offering refreshments, she withdrew.

Then, there was the tragic appearance she saw in the early morning of the second day.

Qiong Zhi said: "According to what the maid said with the people in the brothel, after Luzhu returned to the room yesterday, they have never seen anyone else go to her place again. ”

"If there is no accident, the last person to see Green Pearl last night should be Wednesday Langjun. And when the maid saw Green Bead today, she saw that her clothes were disheveled, so she insisted that Wednesday Lang wanted to force Green Bead, but she refused, and then she was angry and killed him. ”

"It's just ......," Qiong Zhi hesitated, "Since the green bead is already going to stay in Wednesday, why should Wednesday Lang be so ......?"

He Lingjiang shook his head: "The affairs of men and women have always been about your affection and my wishes." Green beads had that meaning at first, but what happened later, you and I don't know. ”

Xing Xu disagreed, but Luzhu changed his mind halfway, and the two had a dispute. Perhaps, this is not what the servant girl guessed at all.

She continued to ask, "Is there any evidence besides the words of this servant?" For example, if two people are arguing, has there ever been a voice? When did Wednesday Lang leave the Lanyin Pavilion, but had anyone seen him? ”

Qiong Zhi shook his head: "I heard that Luzhu likes to be pure, and he wants to practice the pipa from time to time, so he deliberately chose the room in the innermost." If it weren't for someone waiting at the door, it would be difficult for others to notice the ordinary sound. ”

"What's even more strange is that the concierge in the Lanyin Pavilion has never seen when Wednesday Lang went out."

A good person, since there is progress, it is natural to have out.

When he came, he came in with everyone, unless he had a ghost in his heart, so he deliberately avoided people and sneaked out of the Lanyin Pavilion.

He Ling Jiang let out a light "um", lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea: "Let's take a look." Now it sounds like Wednesday Lang is indeed suspicious, but in the end there is a lack of evidence. ”

When the government handles cases, it either pays attention to the acquisition of personal stolen goods, or it pays attention to the complete collection of personal and material evidence. Even if Wednesday Lang is suspected, there must be more tangible evidence.

Now that the suspicion has been concentrated on him, in addition to collecting more evidence, the people of Jingzhao Mansion will inevitably have to go to the Zhou Mansion and ask a few questions routinely.

But after half a day, the people who were staring at the place soon passed the word.

Jingzhao Mansion sent someone to take down Wednesday Lang, and he has been put in prison as usual to be tried tomorrow.

He Ling Jiang's eyebrows moved slightly: "Is this an empirical evidence?" ”

Qiong Zhi nodded: "I heard that when the people from Jingzhao Mansion arrived at the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Lang was in the Mansion that day. He met the people of Jingzhao Mansion with an unknown expression, and was quite shocked when he heard that Lu Zhu had been killed. ”

"It's just that the people of Jingzhao Mansion have determined that he is the murderer based on just one thing."

"Oh?" He Lingjiang looked up at her.

Qiong Zhi cleared his throat and continued, "That Wednesday Lang's hands happened to be newly injured, as if they had been strangled by the strings. When others asked him, he only said that he woke up today. ”

You must know that the fatal part of the green bead is cut by the strings of the lute.

The people of Jingzhao Mansion sent a comparison of them, and sure enough, the thickness of the strangulation marks left on the palms and thumbs of Sanlang this week was the same as that on the neck of the green bead.

Midori died last night, and he had a new wound on his hand, both of which were related to the broken string that was missing from the lute.

In addition, there is also the testimony of Luzhu's personal maidservant, this crime of killing Luzhu, Zhou Lang can't run away.

If it is someone else, he may still be worried about the name of Zhou Yun's criminal department, and this matter still has to be maneuvered.

But now this Jingzhao Yin, surnamed Du, heard that because of the old things, he has always dealt with Zhou Shangshu.

Compared with the official position, although he is not as big as Zhou Yun, Jing Zhaoyin is also in real power, and there seems to be a Duan King standing behind him, so there is no need to be afraid.

Now that Wednesday Lang has bumped into his hands like this, he will definitely not let go of this case lightly.

Although the deceased was a brothel woman and was in a lowly position, after all, she was a famous Oiran lady in Yingdu, if someone in the court was determined to seek justice for her, Zhou Lang would have to shed his skin if he didn't die this time.

It's just that......

She looked at the daylight outside the window, her eyes narrowed slightly, it happened to happen at this stall, and it happened to be in the Lanyin Pavilion where she had been staring at it for a long time.

Is this case really as simple as it seems?

He Lingjiang stood up and ordered, "Call Qingzhu over and let her go to the Zhou Mansion with me." ”

Thinking of figuring out all this, it is natural to meet the party of Wednesday Lang first.

But she has no relatives with the Zhou family, and she has no friendship with Jingzhao Yin Du Xiannian, so she rashly went to Jingzhao Mansion, afraid that it would be difficult to see Zhou Sanlang.

It's better to go to Zhou's house and see what their relationship is there, so that she can meet her.

However, when he arrived at the Zhou Mansion and saw the sad faces of Zhou Yun and his wife, He Lingjiang knew that he had underestimated Du Xiannian's courage this time.

He was determined to investigate the case strictly, not to mention, and went directly to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

Although Zhou Yun is the secretary of the criminal department, he has to avoid suspicion, and Du Xiannian specially told him not to be accommodating in prison, so it is Zhou Yun, the secretary of the criminal department, and now it is difficult to see his son in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.

When he saw He Lingjiang, Zhou Yun's eyes couldn't help but light up: "He Qi Niangzi, you can help me think of ideas and save my child!" ”
