Chapter 113: Murder

When Xiao Yu'an first heard that someone had smashed the store, he frowned, but he was not worried about the smashing of Huanyan Pavilion, he was more worried about whether Gu Wanchao was injured.

The next moment, he heard Gu Wanchao's general temperament, but his original worries were diluted.

It seems that he has thought too much, Gu Wanchao seems to be gentle, this gentleness is not a weakness that others can use to threaten her, but a disguise of her resolute soul.

It is impossible for Gu Wanchao to suffer in this kind of thing.

It was also rare for him to see Gu Wanchao with such teeth and claws.

"Then I should apologize to you." Xiao Yu'an took two steps back as he spoke, folded his hands, and saluted Gu Wanchao, "It's no wonder that I don't discipline myself on weekdays, which has attracted so much right and wrong and implicated Miss Gu." ”

was originally angry for no reason, but being treated so solemnly, Gu Wanchao's anger disappeared a little, and he stopped talking.

When Xiao Yuan straightened up, "It's better like this, I'll compensate for the losses in the store." ”

Gu Wanchao's eyes lit up, and there was such a good thing.

However, this kind of surprise is fleeting, Gu Wanchao has always had a clear distinction between public and private, although he was angry for a while, and he didn't choose what to say, but in the final analysis, the cause of this incident had nothing to do with Xiao Yu'an, Gu Wanchao still opened his mouth to refuse, "I ......"

"You don't have to be so polite, at this time, because of me, the store suffered losses, and I spent some money to redecorate, I volunteered, and the emperor rewarded me with a lot of silver......" Xiao Yu'an's words dispelled Gu Wanchao's worries.

Xiao Yu'an had been rewarded a lot for his meritorious work in patrolling salt before, and he must be rich at this moment.

"I'll borrow you." The incident happened suddenly, and in order to open this store, Gu Wanchao can be said to have bet on all his net worth.

However, the two are familiar with each other, and this monetary exchange is harmless.

The most critical problem has been solved, and Gu Wanchao has reverted to his old ways.

Only then did she realize that Xiao Yu'an's appearance here in official uniform must have happened to something.

"Why are you here?" Gu Wanchao glanced at the gate of the prefect's mansion, this is the place where Lord Qingtian decides right and wrong.

"There has been a murder in the past few days, and I was sent by the emperor to assist." In the end, this matter is not glorious, Xiao Yu'an just brought it simply, implicating human life is often accompanied by a huge conspiracy, and the investigation is full of mysteries, and the twists and turns are not enough for outsiders.

"What homicide?" Gu Wanchao didn't hear any rumors today, you must know that this kind of thing was in the past, and the streets and alleys didn't know what kind of words to say.

Xiao Yu'an saw that she was curious, so she pinched her head and explained the matter.

In the morning, the lady who went to the vegetable market in the morning accidentally saw a figure floating in the water in the river, and thought it was her old eyes and dizzy, but when she took a closer look, she found that it was a female corpse.

The incident happened too early, and the people from the government immediately went to deal with it, and during the period, only one and a half pillars of incense were brought back.

"Huh?" Gu Wanchao inexplicably felt a chill on the back of her neck, she also got up early this morning, speaking of which the time coincided, but the road to Huanyan Pavilion was contrary to the river, otherwise maybe she would have a chance to see it.

"The silver will be sent to Huanyan Pavilion another day, and I will say goodbye first." Xiao Yu'an only thought that she was smashing the store to hurt her spirits, just a few simple words of comfort.

Gu Wanchao had a voice in her heart guiding her to follow.

"What are you ......" Xiao Yu'an heard the movement behind him, turned his head and found that Gu Wanchao followed him into the prefect's mansion, "You don't want to go with you, it's not a clean thing, isn't it the most taboo for a young lady like you?" ”

"I don't care, didn't you say it before, I'm not an ordinary boudoir lady." Gu Wanchao's eyes were clear and bright, and there was no trace of fear.

Xiao Yu was relieved, but acquiesced to her continuing to follow, "Don't cry when you see it later." ”

"Naturally it won't ......" Gu Wanchao has the experience of his previous life, so he is naturally not afraid of gods and ghosts, but now he is just a corpse, nothing to be afraid of.

Tossing and turning, the closer he got to the room where the corpse was parked, the more he could smell a rancid smell, and Gu Wanchao subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.

"Use this." Xiao Yu'an saw Gu Wanchao's rejection of the smell sideways, and took out a silk handkerchief from his body.

Gu Wanchao subconsciously turned out to see two geese embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief, vivid, Gu Wanchao's fingers rubbed on it, and he could feel the delicate stitches, and the person who sewed it must have put a lot of thought.

And the aroma on the silk handkerchief is reverie, this is the aroma of rouge gouache......

Gu Wan looked Xiao Yu'an up and down, this person was deeply hidden, and he was really a playboy.

"I know what you're thinking." Xiao Yu'an didn't squint, but saw through Gu Wanchao's thoughts, "This is what my aunt sewed for me, and the osmanthus fragrance on it is her commonly used incense powder." ”

Explained so vividly, Gu Wan smiled wryly, "Haha." ”

Waiting until facing the open door, the rancid smell mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus on Juan Pa formed a more indescribable atmosphere, Gu Wanchao frowned, and when he looked up, he saw a pair of pale feet facing the door.

At this moment, there was already a person in the room, covering his mouth and nose with a white scarf, and was disposing of the corpse.

"Presumably this is the work of the invitation." Gu Wanchao followed behind Xiao Yu'an, the person in front of him blocked his vision, and Gu Wanchao subconsciously wanted to probe to look.

Because the corpse had been soaked in water for a long time, Zhou Shen's skin was swollen, revealing a strange blue-white.

Fortunately, the key part was already covered by a white cloth, and Gu Wanchao moved upward, and only then could he see the face of the dead woman clearly.

Gu Wanchao glanced at it, feeling a little familiar, and when she took a closer look at the characteristics of this woman's face, she realized where the familiarity came from.

On the left and right cheeks of this woman, there are a pair of symmetrical tear moles, and it is a coincidence that Gu Wanchao saw this woman's appearance when he was Murong Zhao in his previous life.

Li Changning has a noble status, and many people are serving, and Gu Wanchao wrote down this woman among this group of people because of the two moles on her face.

Since she was the maid by Li Changning's side, how could she die silently outside the palace.

Everything can be involved with Li Changning, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter, Gu Wanchao smelled a hint of conspiracy, maybe it could be this matter and find out Li Yu.

Thinking of this, Gu Wanchao thought it was necessary to inform Xiao Yu'an of the identity of the dead woman, maybe he could provide it with some clues.

Just as she spoke, she was one step ahead of Gu Wanchao.

"My lord, this woman did not die because of drowning, the villain has just checked, there is a bruise on the back of her skull, I think it was caused by a violent collision, this is a fatal injury, and the river is shallow, I am afraid that someone committed the murder first, and then threw the body into the water."
