"Drive! You wicked obstacle is here! ”

Before Guo Qian could speak, a sudden voice attracted everyone's attention.

Looking in the direction of the voice, several people saw a middle-aged man wearing a red flower and a drama robe, and after appearing in everyone's sight, he continued to sing: "Look, what a beautiful lotus." ”

"Second uncle, second uncle." He had just finished singing when a young man chased after him. "Don't make trouble, second uncle."

Guo Qian took the opportunity to scold the young man, "It's not for you to be optimistic about your second uncle, why did you still come here, I have guests here." ”

This crazy middle-aged man is Guo Gan's younger brother Guo Kun.

Hearing his father's reprimand, Guo Hao hurriedly nodded, "It's my wrong father, I'll go and get the punishment myself in a while." ”

"You want to see the second uncle, why did he let him run here and frighten the guests?" Guo Kun learned from Guo Gan's way of speaking and sang again.

After he made such a fuss, Guo Gan's mind was relieved, and he said to Li Lianhua and the others: "Let a few people laugh, this is my brother Guo Kun, who has had a strange illness since he was a child, and he is a little crazy." This is the dog Guo disaster. ”

Guo Kun imitated him to speak again, and Guo Gan's forehead jumped with bruises, and he said to Guo Xuan: "Take him away, take him away quickly." ”

Guo Hao hurriedly pulled Guo Kun away.

"When my brother was sick, I was the only one who could stop him." Guo Qian sighed. "Forgive Guo for being out of company."

Seeing that Guo Qian wanted to leave, Li Lianhua said: "Master Guo Zhuang is not in a hurry, Li has a reluctant invitation, I heard that the lotus flower of Cailian Village is famous, I don't know if we can go to the village to appreciate the lotus." ”

"Okay, those three, please." Guo Qian nodded.

Under the leadership of the servants of the lotus picking village, the four of them walked towards the lotus pond.

"Be careful, guests are careful, there are Shoushan stones bought back by the owner with a lot of money along the way, don't touch them." The servant who walked in front reminded Li Lianhua and the others.

Following behind him, Fang Duozhi whispered: "This owner of the village with flickering words, the madman who suddenly broke out, and the young master who seems to be submissive, and the godly butler Jiang, the people in this lotus picking village all look strange." ”

"The three deceased married into the Guo family before and after, and there was no intersection, but they all died in this lotus picking pond, which is too coincidental." Li Lianhua frowned. "So this lotus picking village must have some secrets."

Hearing their words, Di Fei said impatiently: "I'm here to find the lion soul, not to investigate the case, I'm too lazy to listen to you analyze this." ”

"Ah Fei, why are you so anxious, I haven't finished my words just now, so you are busy interrupting." Fang Duozhi complained.

"He's just going to ask about the lion soul's past." Li Lianhua was busy playing the round.

"Wait, what are you talking about, what else is there in the past that I don't know."

Li Lianhua said: "When you find the lion soul, you will naturally know." ”

As they spoke, they had reached the lotus pond.

"Guests, please enjoy slowly, this is the best place to watch the lotus." The servant who led the way said to the men.

"I'm tired."

After the servant left, Li Lianhua stretched, "This is indeed a good place, such a large lotus pond, maybe you can still fish." It's useless for you to be in a hurry now, if the owner of Guo Zhuang has the intention to hide it, if you ask now, it will startle the snake. It would be better to look into the case and figure out what happened ten years ago. Maybe there's a new clue. ”

In the latter few sentences, he said to Di Feisheng.

"If you keep talking, you still want me to help you investigate the case." Di Fei said: "It's simple, I'll just arrest Guo Gan and torture him." ”

is worthy of being the leader of the Golden Mandarin Alliance, and his actions are unique.

As soon as he heard his words, Fang Duo became ill, "Ah Fei, don't mess around." ”

But Di Feisheng didn't listen to him at all, turned around and left.

Li Lianhua persuaded Fang Duoai: "Don't worry about him, let him go." ”

"He has no experience in investigating cases, and his temperament is violent, in case his temper comes up and moves against people, then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Lianhua interrupted: "No, don't worry, how big he is." ”

"Li Lianhua, I'm getting more and more curious, you trust him so much?"

"What trust?" This is not a matter of trust or distrust, Di Feisheng is the leader of the Golden Mandarin Alliance, where do you need their guidance, but Li Lianhua can't say this. He changed the subject, "This deceased hasn't been buried yet, so let's go to the mourning hall and put incense on her." ”

Fang Duozhi wanted to say something, but seeing that Li Lianhua and Shen Haofeng were gone, he could only helplessly catch up.

Mourning Hall.

"It's been seven days since the spirit stopped, and there is no one for three days, and Cailianzhuang really doesn't care much about this young lady who just died." Seeing the invitation in the mourning hall, Fang Duozhi sighed.

Li Lianhua didn't say much and pushed open the lid of the coffin.

Only three days later, the body was very well preserved.

Seeing the corpse, Fang Duozhi took a general look, "The abdomen is distended, and there is water in it, it does look like he has drowned." ”

"The corpse is swollen, and the corpse spots are light red, and it is true that the skin was soaked in water after drowning, causing the appearance of the corpse spots to be delayed." Li Lianhua agreed with Fang Duo's judgment, "There are a lot of bruises on her neck." ”

Li Lianhua just wanted to check the body again, the door of the mourning hall was pushed open from the outside, and seeing the coffin lid being opened, Guo Hao hurriedly said, "What are you two doing?" ”

"Young Master Guo, there are still strange circumstances about Mrs. Zun's death, and we still want to check it again, so as to give justice to the deceased." Fang Duo explained to Guo Qiu.

Guo Xuan frowned, his expression was displeased, "Everything that should be checked has already been checked, the deceased has passed away, so don't disturb the peace of the deceased anymore." ”

"Young Master Guo, this is not a secret, Mrs. Zun entrusted her dream to me a few days ago, crying and complaining about grievances, and she couldn't be peaceful, so we came to Cailianzhuang." Such a lie, Li Lianhua came as soon as she opened her mouth.

Guo was stunned, "Dream? ”

Or is it a dream to an outsider?

"This is the owner of the Lotus Building, known as Doctor Li in the rivers and lakes, he has psychic ability, and his dreams are very accurate." Fang Duozhi hurriedly beat the side drum for Li Lianhua on the side.

Guo Wei seemed to be fooled by them, "But even so, I should first explain it to my father and ask for his consent." ”

"Young Master Guo seems to be very afraid of Master Guo."

"It is a matter of course to obey the Father." What is afraid, Guo Hao defended himself.

Fang Duo, who didn't listen to his father's orders, said sickly: "Young Master Guo, since this coffin has been opened, the one who should be offended has already been offended, I will ask Master Guo Zhuang for the guilt later, if he really blames it, I will bear it alone." ”

When he said this, Guo Wei couldn't say anything more for a while.

On the other hand, Li Lianhua has already begun an autopsy.

"This body is not only a skin injury, but also a broken hand, and multiple injuries to the neck bone."

Hearing Li Lianhua's words, Guo Yu suddenly became anxious, "We haven't done anything to her, the people from the yamen have already checked it before, and said that it was caused by the bride's drowning and struggling." ”

"It's true that this doesn't look like someone has been beaten, but Young Master Guo, what happened before the bride died." Li Lianhua said.

Guo Yu recalled, "It's nothing special, after dinner that night, Su Su went back to the room alone and said that he wanted to try on the wedding dress again." When she was found, it was the maidservant who saw her drowning in the lotus pond. ”

"When the bride came back to the room, no one knew what had happened?" Li Lianhua was a little curious, "Doesn't the bride have a personal maid?" ”

"The wedding shoes made by the bride's mother herself were lost, and her personal maid went back to pick up the wedding shoes a few days ago." Guo Wei explained. "In fact, the ancestral wedding dress of our Guo family is equipped with wedding shoes. However, according to local wedding customs, if the bride gets married, it is unlucky not to wear the wedding shoes made by the mother herself. She didn't like to be served by others, so she didn't arrange other maids for her. Who knows, something like this will happen later. ”

"And how was this body found?"

Guo Wei said: "It was found by the family under the bridge in the village." The bodies of the two wives of the father's successor were also found there. Maybe it's because the water is deep over there, and the grass on the shore is slippery, so they accidentally stumbled..."

"That's a coincidence." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Lianhua, "Those corpses were all found in the same place. But the bride's death recorded in this dossier is the same as that in this coffin. It's just that Weiyuan Dart Bureau, set up by the coast, doesn't the daughter of the Dart Bureau know the water nature? ”

"If you know the nature of water, how can you drown?" Fang Duozhi also hurriedly asked.

Guo Wu thought for a while, "The maid said that the bride drank wine that night. ”

Li Lianhua nodded, "On the eve of marriage, the bride was drunk in her wedding dress, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Hearing his words, Guo Hao seemed to have just reacted, "Why didn't I think of it, couldn't she not have died by accident, but by someone?" But she has only arrived in Cailianzhuang not long ago, and she has no grievances with anyone, who will harm her. I've heard my father mention before that you're looking for a six-fingered weirdo, saying that he has come to our lotus picking village, but there is no trace of him, do you suspect that it's him? ”

As soon as Guo Yu finished speaking, before Fang Duozhi could speak, an object that he couldn't see clearly flew towards Li Lianhua. Fang Duo hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, and only then did he see that it was a picture scroll.

"What is this?"

Taking the painting he handed over and seeing the handwriting on it clearly, Li Lianhua said: "The handwriting of the lion soul." ”

"This person is really in Lotus Picking Village?" Guo Xuan looked surprised.

Di Fei, who threw the painting over, said, "I found it in the backyard, follow me." ”

They walked towards the backyard.

This room has been vacant for a long time.

Dust is everywhere.

"This is the room of my father's first wife, Xu Heyue." Guo Wu said on the side.

Fang Duozhi asked, "Is it the first woman to die in Cailianzhuang ten years ago?" ”

Guo Wei nodded, "The six-fingered monster you are looking for has really had contact with Xu Niangzi, is he the murderer?" Did he kill Xu Niangzi, killed my fiancée, and did he keep killing people in our Cailian Village? ”

Seeing that the more he talked, the more excited he became, Li Lianhua spoke, "Young Master Guo, that can't be so arbitrary, but the death methods of these deceased are all the same, maybe this case will be related." Let's look for it first and see what other clues are in this house. ”

A few people looked around.

Fang Duozhi picked up a painting from the table and dusted it off, "Look at this one." ”

Looking at the painting in his hand, Di Feisheng was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

"Let Young Master Ben, who is proficient in calligraphy and painting and has read a lot of books, explain it to you." Holding the painting in his hand, Fang Duo said sickly: "Look at this painting, its brush strokes and ink movements are basically exactly the same as that one." So I can conclude that this painting is also made by the lion spirit. ”

When he finished speaking, a light lit up on his body, which was the light emitted by the fragments. Shen Haofeng guessed that this fragment was obviously related to the appreciation of calligraphy and painting.

"And you see that the paper used for this painting is batik tortoise-patterned rice paper, and there is a faint gold dust as an embellishment, if I guess correctly, this should be produced by Han Yuezhai. When I was young, I learned to write, and it was also popular for a while. That's exactly about ten years ago. However, this paper is not good because of the ink dipping, and it has not been published again. Fang Duozhi then added.

Li Lianhua nodded, "Then these two paintings were indeed made by the lion soul at the same time." ”

"It was probably during May and June ten years ago, because this paper also has an elegant name, called May Jinxuan." Fang Duo was sick.

This speculation is inevitably a bit far-fetched, and it is normal to buy paper and not necessarily use it immediately, and it is normal to put it for a while.

That is to say, the last time Qiao Woman received a letter of peace from the lion soul was in May ten years ago. If you reason like this, the lion soul would have disappeared at that time. Li Lianhua frowned.

Di Fei looked at the small words on the painting, "The Temple of the Sun, the Six Selfs of the Family, the Mirror Mouth Cube, and the Small Eyes." What does that mean? ”

This has no head or tail, and a few people don't know what it means for a while, Li Lianhua looked at the painting that Fang Duo found in his hand, "Look, why is this piece of grass and trees so messy?" The one just now is clearly very neat. Did you find out? In this room, there are only these two paintings, are they made by the lion spirit? ”

"At the moment, these are the only two that can be found." Fang Duozhi nodded.

As they spoke, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and before anyone could enter, a voice said quite sternly: "Why are you so rude, you dare to break into the backyard of my lotus picking village." ”

The person who came was naturally Guo Qian.

Seeing him, Guo Wei trembled a little and said, "Father... Father. ”

Glaring at Guo Xuan, Guo Gan angrily reprimanded, "You are becoming more and more daring to assert yourself." This is the former residence of the late Xu Niangzi, Guo respects a few heroes of Baichuan Courtyard, and he is a good hospitality, but he can't imagine that a few of them are so rude. ”

In the latter sentence, Guo Qian said it to Li Lianhua and others.

was accused by him, Di Feisheng looked disdainful, "The owner's lies come as soon as he opens his mouth, this is also called etiquette?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Di Feisheng stared at Guo Qian, "You haven't seen the lion soul, why does his calligraphy and painting appear in this room?" ”

Li Lianhua and the others who were standing behind Di Feisheng also looked at Guo Gan. (End of chapter)
