Chapter One Hundred and Four
"My lord, my sister-in-law can't kill herself, there must be something wrong here!"
Before Lu Baojuan left, Hu Xin was still enthusiastically opening Luofu's house for him, and he fell in love with the son of Dongshi Xiucai, and the dowry was ready, waiting for her to come back to propose marriage for her, how could she commit suicide before everything was over?
Yacha's face was also full of solemnity, and he reassured: "Miss Lu, don't worry, we will investigate this matter thoroughly." ”
Before coming, the third prince had instructed that Hu Xin had a special identity and should pay special attention to this matter, so the yacha summoned nearby neighbors for questioning.
According to the neighbors, they didn't see Hu Xin out of the stall a week ago, they all thought that the Lu family lady and the sister-in-law went out together, and a few nights a week ago, the neighbors said that they could hear children singing every night, singing a song "big bald"!
In this way, Hu Xin may have died a week ago, and the yacha did not dare to be careless, and ordered someone to bring the body back to the yamen for examination.
As soon as this matter fermented, the big bald nursery rhyme spread from the east market to the west market in one day, and someone in Pingning County, a suburb of the city, heard about it, and instantly linked the two incidents together.
There was a lot of discussion in the capital for a while, and there were more Miao Jiang people who knew the story of nursery rhymes to add fuel and vinegar, so the big bald nursery rhyme became more and more outrageous, and when it reached the ears of the saint, I didn't know which version it was.
I only heard that Long Yan was furious, and Dali Temple was assigned to investigate the matter thoroughly!
"My lord, is there anything wrong with this property?"
In the private room on the second floor of the Liuxiang Teahouse, the fragrance of tea is lingering and lingering.
Gu Nan poured a cup of tea for Zhao Chuyun, and saw that he had already made a cup of tea when he saw Yipinju in the alley opposite, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhao Chuyun's slender fingers rubbed the celadon pattern on the teacup, the street outside the teahouse was full of people, traffic, and the alley was a plaque climbed by vines.
He blew the hot air in the tea room and said slowly: "I've been thinking about how the murderer escaped in the fully locked room. ”
Gu Nan stretched out his hand and touched his chin, and said, "My subordinates also feel strange, when the seventeenth girl came back in the morning, there were still people in the room who responded, but Brother Chai had died the night before. ”
"If the voice was the murderer's, how did he leave without anyone noticing?"
Zhao Chuyun put down the teacup and said, "Do you remember when you followed the carrier pigeon to Yipinju, only to find that Xue Gang was gone?" ”
Gu Nan nodded, and he was surprised: "Is there any connection between the two?" ”
Zhao Chuyun's eyes deepened, and he said: "We have always regarded the murderer as a mortal, but if he is not a mortal, isn't it very simple to want to hide his figure?" ”
"It's like the stealth we use."
Invisibility! Gu Nan knocked his head and said, "Why didn't I think of this!" ”
Fan Wuxu frowned and said, "This stealth technique can't be easily learned, even if we use it, it will take at least half a week to recover the immortal power consumed at one time." ”
He hesitated for a moment, then said in confusion: "My lord, this murderer can't be an immortal, right?" ”
Zhao Chuyun pondered slightly, and said, "Regardless of how he acquired this skill, let's restore the scene of the crime." ”
"The murderer first hid his figure, hid in the room and waited for the rabbit, and when the target returned, he released the dragon Gu, and then carried out a series of murder operations, killing the person, and faking it as the victim's suicide."
After that, he hid in the house, waiting for the first person to find the body.
"So when the seventeen girls called the Chai brothers for the first time, it was indeed the murderer who agreed, and when the seventeen girls broke into the door the second time, the murderer took the opportunity to hide his figure and escaped from the broken gate!"
Gu Nan clenched his fists and said, "Then the adult thinks that I couldn't find anyone in the middle of Yipin at that time, and it was because he found me, so he used stealth techniques to leave?" ”
Zhao Chuyun took a sip of tea and said, "It's not necessarily that you were discovered, maybe this is their usual style, just to pass the envelope carefully!" ”
Gu Nan still had doubts and asked, "But how did the adults connect the murder case in the secret room with the owner of the carrier pigeon?" ”
"Yesterday I came to visit Yipinju and found a lot of unusual things."
The enlightenment book in Xue Gang's bookcase, the screen in a strange position, and the slow but logical ...... Combining these points, Zhao Chuyun had a bold idea - Xue Gang is a native of Miaojiang.
The Miao Jiang clan lives in the depths of the mountains, and does not communicate much with the outside world, which can be regarded as very closed, since the power of the Miao Jiang King was disintegrated, several large landowners under him have implemented an open policy, allowing the Miao people to contact the outside world.
For this reason, most of the Miaojiang people who came to the Central Plains could not speak the Central Plains.
There are too many differences between Miao and Central Plains, so even Miao people who have lived in the capital for one or two decades still have accents.
Xue Gang should have realized this, so he slowed down his speech very cautiously and chewed the words, just for fear of being found out about the strangeness of his accent and thus exposing his identity.
Coupled with the unreasonable screen, Zhao Chuyun asked someone to ask that the feng shui level of Miaojiang is completely different from that of the Central Plains, and Xue Gang, as a native of Miaojiang, will naturally not abandon his previous habits when he arrives in the Central Plains.
Gu Nan folded his fingers and said, "Miao Jiangren, delay the time of the seventeenth girl, stealth technique...... My lord, these are all speculations, and if you rely on these points alone, no matter how suspicious he is, it will be useless if he has no actual evidence. ”
"You're right," Zhao Chuyun nodded, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Since that's the case, then you can go and find it." ”
"Looking for what?" Gu Nan didn't understand.
Zhao Chuyun raised his eyes to look at him: "Of course it's looking for evidence." ”
When Yan woke up, Seventeen was sitting on the edge of the bed dozing, and there was a dazed Chai Yongming standing beside him, seeing that she had woken up, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How are you?" Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with? ”
Yan Qingwei shook her head, only felt that the dantian was a little stinging, but she didn't feel anything in other places, she looked around, there was a faint fragrance of herbs in the house, the wind blew the curtains, and through the window, you could see the red walls and green tiles outside the courtyard, and the green plants were sparse.
"Brother Ming, where is this?"
Chai Yongming came back to his senses, pointed to Seventeen, who was napping on the side, and signaled to be quieter, before saying, "This is where Yan Chen lives, and he brought us back." ”
Seventeen heard the movement, and a spirit came to his senses, and when he saw that Yan was sober, he said happily: "Xiaoqing, you are awake!" Wait, I'll call Brother Chen. ”
After saying that, he ran out, and after a while, he ran back again, followed by two people left and right, one was Yan Chen, and the other was the man Yan Qing saw before he fainted.
The man stepped forward to take her pulse, and then nodded: "It's not a big deal, it's just that you can't use your internal strength these days, and you have to be good at life." ”
Yan Qing said thank you, sat up with his body, turned his head to look at Yan Chen, and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Yan Chen immediately introduced: "This is my master, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian. ”
Qin Tian Jian Zheng! Yan Qing's heart jumped, this is the legendary Qintian Supervisor who pacified the demon clan, Xue Fangqing!
Why did he save himself! At that time, he had sent someone to snatch the fan bone jade!
Yan Qing was shocked, hurriedly touched the bracelet on his right hand, and felt that the thing was still there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her movements, Xue Fang was clear in his chest, he stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Yan, Xiaochen told me that Qin Jin was really disciplining him in this matter, so he let him do whatever he wanted and hurt you, and I am here to make amends for him." ”
What does he mean...... Is it said that Qin Jin's snatching of the Fan Bone Jade has nothing to do with him? Yan Qing doesn't know how true or false, but it's good that the fan bone jade has not been lost at this moment, but this is not a place where she can stay for a long time.
"The prison is serious, thank you for the prison treatment, and the little woman is inconvenient to bother, so she left." She lifted the quilt, turned and got out of bed, and Seventeen immediately stepped forward to hold her up.
Yan Chen frowned and said, "Your injuries are not healed, where are you going?" ”
Yan Qing Dynasty smiled and said, "Go find my friend, he is still waiting for me." ”
Yan Chen grabbed her and asked, "Are you looking for that Zhao Chuyun son?" You don't have to worry, I'll send someone to tell him he's safe. ”
Xue Fangqing also smiled: "You are Xiaochen's sister, you can't be bothered, if you have important friends, you can just notify you." ”
Yan Qing glanced at Yan Chen, not knowing why he wanted to keep himself.
Xue Fangqing opened his mouth at the right time and said, "Xiaochen, Miss Yan may not be comfortable when she first came to the capital, you can chat with her more and take her to the street to play." ”
"I still have official business to deal with for the division, so I'll leave first."
Yan Chen arched his hand at him and said, "Thank you, master." ”
When the people left, Yan Qing said: "Second brother, I'll leave first, thank you for taking care of me." ”
Yan Chen saw that she insisted on leaving, his face suddenly changed, he turned around and closed the door, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, do you know that the big bald nursery rhyme is now spreading in the capital?" ”
Big bald nursery rhymes? Isn't that related to the murderer in the secret room case? She couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that there is a new deceased?" ”
"A female corpse was found in Guangdefang today, who died a month ago," Yan Chen also heard the connotation of this nursery rhyme, and said, "This big bald nursery rhyme is a weird nursery rhyme on the surface, but in fact it has a hidden meaning, it actually wants to satirize the mediocrity and incompetence of today's saints, constantly allowing Qin Tianjian to kill innocents indiscriminately, and the fox is fake and mighty!" ”
"And when this nursery rhyme comes out, do you know who benefited the most?"
Yan Qing frowned, she didn't understand the affairs of the court, and she didn't care about the affairs of the court, why did she say this to her at this time?
Seeing Yan Chen's solemn face, she thought about it for a moment, the murderer assassinated the members of the Extreme Wind Pavilion and spread this nursery rhyme, was it for the sake of Laqin Heavenly Prison to go into the water?
Yan Chen continued: "Of course, the one who has benefited the most is the current Third Prince, Li Yixun, who has always been the opponent of Qin Tianjian. ”
"So what?" I don't understand.
Yan Chen sighed lightly and said, "I found out a few days ago that Zhao Chuyun is the third prince's person. ”
The Three Princes? Yan Qing thought about it, as if he had heard him mention the name Li Yixun, so Yan Chen said this to her, did he want to talk about the murder case in the closed room, and Zhao Chuyun was suspicious?
She chuckled lightly and said, "Second brother is suspicious of Zhao Chuyun?" ”
Yan Chen nodded and said, "That kid has always been unknown, and I have long been suspicious of him." ”
Yan Qing sighed in his heart and said, "Second brother, he didn't come from an unknown place, it's just that it's inconvenient to tell you." ”
"So you're insisting on going to him?" Yan Chen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Yan Qing said: "I believe him, he will never have anything to do with this case, second brother, I act in a measured manner, you don't have to worry." ”
