Chapter 19: Hypocrisy
The Qiu family's banquet is all the female dependents of famous families with surnames in the sky, Shen Nian has endured it again and again, because he doesn't want to be behind the murder case, and it also ruins the reputation of others, a woman's reputation is sometimes more important than her life, especially if she has not yet come out of the cabinet, during the period, there is another reason, he left Shining, definitely not just because he needs her unusual sense of smell.
The rouge of hibiscus flowers, everyone is dead, it is not important, but the silver ticket of tung oil flavor is an accident.
Xiao Lou couldn't resist the fact in front of him, he held his head with both hands, and the clothes smeared the oil paint everywhere, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, Sun Shining saw the flower face, and was a little afraid, so he ate other people's hot soup, but he felt afraid, for some reason, her heartbeat suddenly increased a lot, almost making her have to raise her hand to cover her chest in order to gasp.
In a panic, she quickly went to see Shen Nianyi, making sure that he was there, which could make her feel at ease, but it didn't work, it didn't work at all, Xiao Lou was already confiding the truth.
He was waiting behind the rockery to wait for the truth, but what he was waiting for was not the fifth lady at all, what kind of woman was the fifth lady, the golden pearl was just in exchange for her smile, and he was just an ordinary play, where would it attract her attention, not to mention the tryst after the rockery, the person he was waiting for there came, the two of them had not seen each other for too long, it was inevitable that there were some affectionate behaviors, and the movement was big, but I didn't expect to alarm others.
Xiao Lou saw that the person was the fifth lady, a little frightened, not afraid, he was originally a drama, he didn't pay attention to those moral shame, but he didn't expect the person in his arms to tremble, more timid than the delicate lamb, he not only tightened his arms, wanted to hug her tighter, his fingers touched the girl's soft neckline skin, and her trembling voice in his ears: "Xiao Lou, I'm afraid, if she spreads this matter, I will be beaten to death by my mother at home, and we will never have a chance to meet again, Xiao Lou, what to do, what to do!" ”
One by one, delicate and timid, he didn't know what to do, there was only one thought at that time, he couldn't let the fifth lady tell what happened tonight, evil was born to the guts, he let go of the person in his arms, it was like an agile animal, and pounced on the prey in front of him.
The fifth lady's scream was pinched in her throat, Shen Nianyi's guess was very correct, Xiao Lou had some kung fu foundation, and it was really easy to strangle a woman with no power with both hands, the fifth lady was still struggling at first, kicking her feet wildly, and soon, she stopped moving.
When Xiao Lou came to his senses, under his hand was the fifth lady who had already choked his breath, he was so frightened that he wanted to retreat, and his back touched a soft place, only to think that there were others watching, and there was a more scared and innocent person than him watching.
He hurriedly comforted the man, let the man do nothing happened, quickly returned to his seat, and the rest of the things were handled by him, the location of the rockery was so hidden, as long as they kept silent, no one would find out that the fifth lady died here, he pretended to be calm, adjusted the costume, and then returned to the stage, as long as he was able to get out after tonight, the Qiu family would never find him again, Xiao Lou, who is Xiao Lou, who is Xiao Lou, it is just his play name, it can't be true.
Unexpectedly, the situation developed too fast, he had no chance to get out at all, and when he saw the family members of Qiu Mansion around the stage, even those women who were watching the play were surrounded and forbidden to enter and exit, he already knew that things were bad and he couldn't escape.
"However, how the body of the fifth lady is in the secret room of this study, I don't know." After Xiao Lou said this, people couldn't stand steadily, he killed someone, and was held by the officials of Dali Temple, this time I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.
"And who is the person who is behind the rockery with you?" Shen Nianyi continued to ask.
"I can't say, my lord, I really can't say, I killed someone, I confessed, I can't drag her down, she's innocent, she doesn't know anything." Xiao Lou whimpered, held his face in his hands, and knelt on the ground.
As soon as Shen Nianyi walked over, Xiao Lou saw from his fingers that he was wearing flat-soled official boots, and his steps were very steady, he could only babble and read: "My lord, I have confessed, but please don't embarrass her, okay, okay?" ”
After listening to his confession, Sun Shining obviously had nothing to do with her, why was she afraid, at first she didn't understand, between the lightning and flint, she stayed in place, Shen Nianyi would not do useless things, from the time he left her, it all had its purpose, he was too smart, the key points of the case fell in his eyes, she opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound, her voice was like a bellows belt that had been pulled and broken, and she could only hiss.
When Shen Nian saw her like this, he also knew that she thought of the reason, but he didn't expect her to be afraid of this, so he couldn't help but turn over to her again, and pressed a hand on her shoulder very lightly: "You don't have to be afraid, he is right, that person is not at fault, he is innocent, I just need to confirm that there is such a person, not necessarily to know who she is." ”
Sun Shining was still trembling, she couldn't control her body, but the hand on her shoulder made her think of the coolness of Shen Nian's palm, just like his person, calm and calm, but this time it was different, the warmth of his palm, through several layers of clothing, she could easily perceive it, the trembling tip of the heart was slowly ironed by the warmth, and the rhythm of involuntary swinging actually followed slowly, stopping: "Lord Shen, are you comforting me?" ”
Shen Nianyi actually laughed very quietly, on an inappropriate occasion, let Qiu Cheng, who followed in, be stunned for a moment, one foot had obviously stepped into the threshold, but quietly took it back, Miss Sun at this time, knew too much, and needed some comfort, he thought that the boss who was usually high up on weekdays would grab Xiao Lou's sore feet with a cold face and explain the case clearly in one fell swoop, but Shen Nianyi put down the case and tried to comfort her, in fact, this is also good, Qiu Cheng also lowered his head and smiled, and stretched out his arm to stop Yu Ze behind him.
"I ask myself to handle cases impartially, and I will never engage in favoritism, so you don't have to worry about me hurting the innocent." Shen Nianyi's hand was released, and the posture of putting it up was as natural as letting it go, as if it was just a gentle breeze blowing on Shining's shoulder.
Sun Shining breathed hard to calm her mind, she couldn't make a mess at this time, she thought she was here to help, and Holly was watching from the side, listening, probably guessing a little bit of the truth, and was too scared to say a word.
Shen Nianyi was not so polite to everyone, he chose the big chair behind the desk and sat down: "Qiu Cheng, Yu Ze, what are you doing sneakily standing outside the door, do business!" ”
Qiu Cheng came in by touching his nose and picked up Xiao Lou, who was already paralyzed on the ground, a man of about the same height didn't seem to have to spend any effort at all, so he let Xiao Lou sit down, and said very gently: "The adult's case has not been tried yet, you don't have to look like you are about to die." ”
Xiao Lou raised his head slowly, what should be said, he has already confessed, why hasn't the trial been completed yet, shouldn't he be arrested immediately, interrogated, and then executed on the charge of murder?
Shen Nianyi coughed lightly, and someone walked in outside the door, it was Qiu Guiyue, who was already haggard, he probably had done his best to place the body of the fifth lady Zhou Zheng, set up the mourning hall, and rushed over again, he saw that Sun Shining was still beside him, a little surprised, why did this orphan daughter of the Sun family stay here, the whole thing had nothing to do with her, but he never thought that at the beginning, it was he who forcibly took her to the study and asked her to be a personal witness.
"Master Qiu, this person has confessed to the crime of strangling the fifth lady with his own hands." Shen Nianyi pointed at Xiao Lou, "He is a member of the drama troupe invited by Qiu Fu. ”
"I don't know him, I'm not interested in listening to the play." Qiu Guiyue wiped his face, his face was very ugly, "He killed Anu, I originally wanted to use a knife to break his body into thousands of pieces to relieve my hatred." ”
"Murderers should be brought to justice, not lynched." Shen Nian said in a deep voice.
Qiu Guiyue gave him a lot of face, nodded and said: "What Lord Shen said is very true, since the murderer has been arrested and brought to justice, then Anu will not die without turning a blind eye, I want to thank Lord Shen for Anu for breaking the case quickly, and not letting this guy take the opportunity to abscond out of the house and avenge her." ”
"For a deceased, if the murderer is brought to justice, he should be able to die blindly, so if the murderer caught is not the real murderer, then she can't be reincarnated with peace of mind under Jiuquan?" Shen Nian suddenly said such a sentence.
Qiu Guiyue almost thought that she had auditory hallucinations, and even Xiao Lou's eyes widened in disbelief, Sun Shining's hands clenched the hem of her clothes, and she waited nervously for Shen Nianyi to continue to say, she was afraid that this case was followed from beginning to end, after Xiao Lou confessed, it was clear that everything should be logical, but even if she was a layman, she felt that the case was like a chain linked to a ring, and several of them were mottled and fell off, and they needed to be picked up and re-buttoned by a discerning person in order to practice a line.
"What did Lord Shen say, why am I a little confused?" Qiu Guiyue still couldn't help but open his mouth.
Shen Nianyi pointed at Xiao Lou: "He confessed that because he wanted to conceal some private matters, he deliberately strangled the fifth lady to death in the rockery, and hid the body in it, and left in a hurry, the whole process was not premeditated, so the time was too tight, and he really had no way to hide the body more securely at that time, but the body of the fifth lady found by Master Qiu was in the secret room of this study, so there must always be such a person, who carried the corpse and arranged the illusion, making people mistakenly think that the fifth lady died here, This is really puzzling, why did that person do this, and for what purpose? ”
"He's just a trick of hypocrisy, he has already lied once, and he's talking nonsense again." Qiu Guiyue said disdainfully, "How can a person like him fully believe what he says!" ”
