Chapter 115: Clues
Gu Wanchao finally flipped from the other side of the wall to the courtyard, her feet touched the ground, and the heart that had been hanging was really put down.
In her previous life, she followed the rules, and in this life, it was the first time she behaved like this.
Inexplicably, there is some irritation of the heart.
Compared with Gu Wanchao's embarrassment, when Xiao Yuan jumped down, his movements were crisp and neat, with a hint of chic.
It's just that no one else appreciates it, Gu Wanchao's five senses are keen, and when he heard hurried footsteps not far away, he hurriedly squatted down, pulled Xiao Yu'an by the way, and reminded him not to expose his whereabouts, "Hide quickly!" ”
Xiao Yu'an's center of gravity is unstable, and the chic of Fang Cai is gone.
"There's someone up ahead." Fortunately, in front of the two of them was the bushes, Gu Wan was also startled at the figure that had just passed by the other party, she thought it was a patrolling guard, but when she looked through the gap in the grass and trees, she saw the back of a woman Zhang Huang, looking around and running away.
"It's really weird, she is wearing the maid service in this house, why is she as sneaky as us?" Gu Wanchao was puzzled.
Xiao Yu'an patted the floating ash on his body, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, just go and see it." ”
I came to investigate, but I just entered the house and saw something wrong, and God really helped her.
"That's nature." Gu Wanchao's curiosity about the truth was only a lot more than Xiao Yu'an's, and now that Li Changning didn't know that she was exposed, she had to hold on to these clues tightly.
Shun Teng, maybe the evidence obtained can defeat the enemy with one move at a critical time, thinking of this, Gu Wanchao immediately got up and took the lead to follow.
"Be careful." Xiao Yu'an whispered, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart for her resoluteness.
As she spent more time together, the more Xiao Yu'an felt that her essence was deviant, how could an ordinary boudoir lady run up and down like this, more positive than Dali Temple's case, even when facing the corpse, she was also indifferent.
Gu Wanchao followed suit, but the maid was more cautious than she thought, and she had to turn back from time to time, and her body turned sideways as if she was holding something in her arms, bulging with her pockets.
She always felt that it was an important clue, so she paid special attention to it.
In order not to be discovered, she hid her figure from time to time by the obstacles in front of her, but in the blink of an eye, the person she wanted to follow was gone.
"Lost? It's all said that you don't have to worry. ”
Gu Wanchao listened to the voice, but it came from above, Xiao Yu'an stood on the eaves, looking at her condescendingly, and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"In hindsight, come down!" Gu Wanchao hurriedly beckoned, such a swagger, if she attracted people, she would have to show her hole cards.
Xiao Yu'an stretched out his hand and nodded behind Gu Wanchao, he stood tall and had a wide field of vision, "She walked around the courtyard behind you." ”
At this moment, Gu Wanchao seemed to smell a smoke and fireworks.
This smell is very similar to the smell of burning paper money on the street during the Qingming Festival, Gu Wanchao looked up at the sky, and sure enough, he saw wisps of green smoke and paper ash circling where Xiao Yu'an was pointing.
Gu Wanchao got along with each other because of the memories of his previous life, and he knew the layout of Princess Gulun's mansion quite well, this is a deserted place in the corner of the courtyard, which should be abandoned to pile up sundries.
"Someone just died in the morning, and now someone is burning paper money." Xiao Yu'an clasped his hands in front of his chest, his toes fell lightly, and his clothes flew flying, "I think this person knows about this, grab it and ask?" ”
Gu Wanchao nodded.
The two thought of one place, and they crept towards the green smoke against the wall.
Not to mention the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, the walls of the courtyard were already covered with moss, accompanied by an old smell of rotten wood, Gu Wanchao's steps were faster, he didn't notice that the steps were slippery, and he almost fell to the ground if he didn't stand firmly.
Xiao Yu'an stepped forward at this time and grabbed her elbow and gave her support, "Be careful." ”
"Shh Gu Wanchao signaled him to be quiet, for fear that the people in the courtyard would notice that someone was coming and run away in a panic.
It was overgrown with weeds, and the crumbling door creaked as the wind blew.
"Why is this movement so like a ghost showing us the way?" Xiao Yu'an looked at Gu Wanchao unconsciously arching her body, with a defensive posture, knowing that she was nervous and wanted to say something witty to tease her.
"Didn't Lord Xiao say before that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, be careful that the unjust soul will entangle you in the middle of the night and fall into your dreams." Speaking of which, she is still the soul of the previous life, and she only got this body by chance, if the dead little maid really had a grudge when she died, I don't know if she will have another chance like her......
But that's another story.
"What do you think? So distracted? Xiao Yu'an waved his palm in front of her, "Go and see." ”
Gu Wanchao gathered his thoughts, nodded, and looked towards the probe in the courtyard.
I saw the maid squatting in the center facing the door, with a copper basin burning in front of her, and paper money scattered around, thinking that this was the source of the green cigarette paper ash.
The maid was immersed in grief, and she didn't realize that someone had followed the trail.
Her face, illuminated by the firelight, could vaguely see her red and swollen eyes, and she was choked up as she muttered to herself.
"Hongdan, my mother said, it's cold on the way to the Yama Palace, I'll send you your clothes, you have to have a good baby in the next life, don't be a cow or a horse for others, and you can't be free......"
As he spoke, he took out the contents of his baggage, but when he unfolded it, it was a dress.
Gu Wanchao always felt that this dress was related to the dead maid and was an important evidence, but when she raised her hand to throw it into the fire, she was in a hurry, and completely forgot her previous plan to wait and see for a while, "Don't burn it!" ”
The maid suddenly heard someone talking, and she looked very vigilantly, and suddenly felt a pain in her wrist, as if she had been hit by something, but the clothes in her hand fell in response, and she could have grazed the brazier.
Gu Wan stepped forward in three steps and two steps, ignoring the surprise on the maid's face, and hurriedly grabbed the clothes stained with sparks and hurriedly patted them, which were temporarily extinguished.
"You are ......" The maid was secretly doing these things, thinking of sending her friend on the last ride, knowing that this matter violated the master's taboo, but she still resolutely did so.
But now that she has been discovered by others, she still can't stop panicking.
"You know a woman with two moles on her cheeks." Gu Wanchao nodded his cheek.
Emotions flashed across the maid's face, verifying Gu Wanchao's conjecture.
"I ...... I, Hongdan's matter has nothing to do with me, I just want to burn her personal belongings to her......" The maid can guess that the identities of the two people in front of her are on par with her master, and she is not qualified to question the purpose of the two sneaking in, and now she only cares about protecting herself, "I really don't know anything." ”
Gu Wanchao learned the name of the dead maid from her words.
"Where's Hongdan's room?" Gu Wanchao saw that the maid was timid and could be further used.
