Chapter 17: Cheap Things
The body of the fifth lady, Shen Nianyi only temporarily examined, put it in place behind the secret door, and told the others not to approach again, waiting for the servants of Dali Temple to come.
Qiu Guiyue's whole body was drained of his spirit, and he was slumped on the big chair and didn't want to move a finger.
The study was lifeless, Qiu Cheng came over and talked back, the guests over there were all dealt with, those who should go home were sent home, most of them were female dependents, but one or two people left the scene to go to the toilet, and the rest who had never left their seats had no time to kill at all.
"Where's my sister?" Sun Shining asked with a ripe sale.
"She has left during the banquet, and she has already asked people to record the roster and send them back to the Sun family with your younger brother." Qiu Cheng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, you don't have to be afraid." ”
"I'm not afraid." Sun Shining was telling the truth, she had seen uglier corpses, but she felt that the beautiful woman had died of incense, and she was a little sorry, the night was heavier, she felt cold, her arms couldn't help but wrap around herself, and she was the only one who had to stay.
"Girl, girl." Holly was poking her brain outside, holding her large cloak in her hand, and Qiu Cheng let her in.
"Why didn't you go back?" Sun Shining hurriedly put it on, only to feel that the cold had subsided.
"Said that something happened here, I don't worry, let them go back first, there is amber to take care of at home, I asked Qin's mother, who came with me, to go back and tell me, Qin's mother is my godmother, the girl can rest assured." Holly was afraid that she had been standing outside for a long time, her cheeks were red from the cold, "Girl, I heard that it was a dead person, so I won't frame you again, right?" ”
Sun Shining took her hands and rubbed them twice for her: "I'm staying to be a personal witness, and Lord Shen is also here, so it's okay." ”
"It's good that Lord Shen is here." Holly took out a silk handkerchief, which was filled with two delicate snacks, "Is the girl hungry, first pad the hunger." ”
Sun Shining smiled at her and said, "Only you think thoughtfully." ”
Holly leaned closer to her, the study was clearly brightly lit, and there were many people standing or sitting, how could it be so cold and indifferent, which made people uneasy.
Yu Ze came back to report, saying that he would leave all the people in the troupe, Shen Nianyi still nodded and was silent, until a short figure appeared at the door, he suddenly stood up and greeted him: "Why did you come?" ”
Sun Shining couldn't help but look at it twice, the person who came was more afraid of the cold than her, the clothes were worn a lot, wrapped tightly like a ball, and only after entering the house did he begin to slowly loosen his clothes: "The weather is cold, I have slept at home." The voice was weak, it was actually a young woman, and when the hood and cloak were taken off, the small round face that was revealed looked smaller than Shining, and the words that came out were strange and terrifying: "Where is the body, I will conduct an autopsy first." ”
It turned out that this girl was a servant of Dali Temple, Sun Shining was startled, she thought that she had experienced some major events, but she didn't expect that there were people outside the sky, and there were more daring women here.
"That's Tang Churou, who has been working for three generations in the family." Qiu Xiangyan wanted to solve her doubts, "Master Chu said that he didn't want a man to touch his fifth lady, even if that man was a fool. ”
Tang Churou's work was all based on a pair of skillful hands, carefully probing the wounds of the fifth lady, and then opening her eyelids to see the contraction of the pupils, Shen Nianyi stood behind her, and the two explained two sentences from time to time, which was very tacit.
Sun Shijing watched this scene quietly, her heart was slightly sour, but she didn't want the people around her to see it, so she lowered her face, but she heard someone asking: "You say, is she a beauty?" ”
It's clearly Qiu Guiyue's voice, who is he asking? Sun Shining raised his head, it turned out that he relieved his spirit a little, and the person who asked was her, she did not hesitate, nodded decisively, although it was the first time they met, it was still far away, and she had to admit that the fifth lady was a complete beauty, and the beauty with gorgeous clothes complemented each other more and more.
Qiu Guiyue slowly stood up and walked to the door of the dark room: "Lord Shen, do you have eyebrows?" ”
"An acquaintance committed a crime, and the fifth lady was strangled by her neck at that time, almost without a struggle, and she had no defense." Tang Churou had already finished work and put on her thick cloak again, "The rest, hand it over to Lord Shen, and I will leave first." ”
"Who is it, who is the poison of Anu!" Qiu Guiyue saw a few plays brought in by Yu Ze, and he suddenly grabbed the paperweight on the table and threw it headlessly, "It's you scumbags who will kill my Anu, you all have to die, and it's not a pity to die." ”
The paperweight missed the target, fell to the ground, and shattered, Shen Nianyi walked over and said concisely: "Master Qiu, don't be impatient." ”
Qiu Cheng came over and asked them one by one what they were doing at the time, whether there were others to testify, everyone understood that there was a big matter of human life, they didn't dare to do much, and answered obediently and seriously, there was only one person, his face was still painted with thick oil and heavy color, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, a pair of eyes traced a bewitching curve, when he stared at people, he also looked like a hooked soul, he shouted unconvincedly: "There are so many people present, why should we check a few of us, we have bad people written on our faces, who didn't know at the time, we were all on the stage, dozens of pairs of eyes watching, we killed, We can sing and kill people! ”
"Xiao Lou, don't talk too much!" Someone covered his mouth and dragged him back, and the class leader bent over to play the round, "He is reckless, please bear with me, all the adults are here, just ask, just ask me, keep every sentence honest and credible." ”
"When the fifth lady got up and left, the people on the stage should have seen it clearly, and not everyone was necessarily present at that time, so what you said about everyone on the stage is not credible." Shen Nianyi didn't move, but his face was slightly tense, and the others didn't dare to come out, "If there is no suspicion, I will let it go, and I will not take anyone to kill the good and take the merits, Dali Temple has always been fair and strict in handling cases." ”
A few simple words, which had already shocked the other party, Qiu Cheng rubbed the tip of his nose, and continued to ask one by one, until he finished asking in a circle, everyone else had someone to prove his innocence, but it was the person who quarreled just now, neither on the stage, nor anyone could tell where he went at that time, and the class owner was dumbfounded.
Shen Nianyi looked at this person from the side for a while, and when he saw that his face was red, he couldn't say why, and said lightly: "You have some kung fu foundation, don't you?" ”
"Yes." The man replied quickly, "My lord, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't have any grievances, how could I kill someone!" ”
"And where were you?" Shen Nianyi asked slowly, Sun Shining was separated by a few people, and saw that there was no anger in his eyes, but there was a kind of clear meaning, could it be that he had already guessed the whereabouts of that person, and when he said the wrong word, he might be convicted, this person was so strange, why didn't he say it?
"Xiao Lou, when the adults asked you, you said, what's the use of being rash at this time!" The head of the class came over angrily and slapped him on the back of the head, "Say, where were you then!" ”
Xiao Lou was really stubborn, stiff his neck and kept silent, Shen Nianyi waved at the class master: "You auspicious class people can go back, just leave him behind." ”
"My lord, he, he won't kill anyone, you give me some time, I will definitely let him explain what he is going to do, my lord, please forgive me a stick of incense." The head of the class knelt down and pleaded.
Shen Nianyi stood up and didn't answer, he walked straight to Qiu Guiyue: "Master Qiu, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy, the corpse of the fifth lady can be collected." ”
Qiu Guiyue took a look at him, and saw that Shen Nianyi's dark eyes were bottomless, and he couldn't see any thoughts at all, he said in a dumb voice: "Lord Shen, please be sure to avenge Anu, no matter who it is, you can't get away with it after taking away my Anu." ”
"Master Qiu, please rest assured." Shen Nianyi replied calmly.
The class owner over there dragged Xiao Lou to the corner, lowered his voice and asked a few times, Xiao Lou just shook his head blindly, and the class owner hated to kick him a few times, but he still couldn't ask why.
Sun Shining didn't notice it for a while, Shen Nianyi had already come to her: "You come with me." She didn't have any more words, she stood up and followed him, and he stopped in front of the door of the dark room, "You go in first." ”
There were still dead bodies inside, although it was not ugly, when Sun Shining landed, she was cautious and stopped next to the corpse of the fifth lady, she was a little at a loss, she didn't know Shen Nianyi's purpose, but she completely trusted him.
Through the door, Shen Nianyi's gaze stayed firmly on her, and after a moment, he asked, "What do you smell?" ”
Sun Shining suddenly, it turned out that it was for this, she slowly closed her eyes, in the dark room, the air was not circulating, and the breath left was a little sticky, and when she opened her eyes again, she said: "The fifth lady likes to use the rouge of hibiscus flowers." ”
Shen Nianyi didn't interject, he knew that there was still something to follow, Sun Shining suddenly frowned and said, "It's strange, why does it smell of tung oil here?" ”
Shen Nianyi's face changed suddenly, he didn't turn his head, and said to the person behind him: "Bring the lamp, I'll go in and have a look." ”
Sun Shining let go of the way and let him in, when he entered, the corridor was narrow, and the two of them were very close, she smelled a very comfortable light smell on him, and couldn't help but breathe a little faster, but fortunately, Shen Nianyi focused on checking the situation in the dark room, and did not notice her actions, she was a little secretly happy.
"The smell of tung oil is on the body of the fifth lady." She pointed to the corpse, her snow-white face was faintly blue, and she didn't dare to look at it more.
"How is it possible, Anu loves rouge pollen the most, and it is good to like to use hibiscus flowers, how can there be the smell of tung oil on the body!" When Qiu Guiyue also wanted to squeeze in, Shen Nianyi had already asked Shining to squat down, and took out a purse from the fifth lady's coat.
Shen Nianyi didn't take it, and motioned to Shining to count, and she counted the money quickly: "There are a total of two thousand taels here." ”
Two thousand taels is by no means a small amount, Qiu Guiyue was dumbfounded when he heard it: "Could it be that someone killed Anu but gave her two thousand taels of silver?" ”
"I'm afraid that someone wants to kill her and steal the money, but she doesn't have time to take the money." Shen Nianyi asked Qiu Cheng to bring Xiao Lou in front of him, "Say, who are you defending, make it clear, the person you want to defend will be fine, and neither will you." ”
