Chapter 9: The True Murderer
"Is the disappearance of the little prince of the Zhao Mansion related to you?" Qin Chuan asked.
"It's not about me." Sun Jiaojiao shook her head.
Qin Chuan nodded, and said to Zhao Li, who was standing aside, "Baozhu didn't react, this matter has nothing to do with her." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Li couldn't help but feel relieved, he was really afraid that the disappearance of the child was related to his concubine, otherwise, his Zhao Li's face would be lost.
The house is restless, and everywhere, it is ridiculed.
"Alright, next."
Qin Chuan glanced at Zhao Li, and said in his heart, don't be happy too early, I don't know what the situation is in the end.
The second one who came up was Zhao Jiaojiao's maid, a little girl with two buns.
"Please put the palm of your hand in your pocket and hold the bead inside."
"Yes."
"Is the disappearance of the little boy related to you?"
"Nothing to do."
"Okay, next."
......
After almost half an hour, Qin Chuan finally completed the process of the hundreds of people outside the hospital.
"Qin Shaoxia, can these people rule out suspicion?"
From beginning to end, Zao Wou-Ki's eyes were fixed on Qin Chuan's pocket, how he hoped that there would be someone among these people who would make the orb react, but the reality was that from beginning to end, the orb in his pocket did not react.
This means that the disappearance of the child has nothing to do with the person in the backyard.
But what kind of person can quietly break into this place and take the child away quietly?
"Qin Shaoxia, why don't you call the people in the front yard too?" Zhao Li is also a little unwilling to this result.
"Not for now." Qin Chuan shook his head and took out the bead in his pocket, "Actually, I just deceived you, this bead is just an ordinary jade bead, and it is not a treasure bead that can detect lies at all." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zao Wou-Ki and others all cast stunned eyes.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, Qin Shaoxia, are you okay to play with stupid children here?
Even Zao Wou-ki, who had great hopes for Qin Chuan, had to wonder at this moment, was it really a correct decision to let Qin Shaoxia investigate the case?
Feeling everyone's gaze, Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, the reason why I did this is not to make fun of you, in fact, this is just a small means to make the murderer show himself." ”
"Qin Shaoxia, what do you say?" Zao Wou-ki's expression softened slightly.
Qin Chuan said: "Master Zhao, let's make a hypothesis, suppose you are the murderer who stole the child, and I am holding a jewel that can detect lies, and let you put your palm on it, will you really put your palm on it?" ”
"No, it won't."
Zao Wou-Ki blurted out.
"Very good, I'm sure the murderer won't, after all, my orb is in a bag, and no one can see if he really put his palm on the orb."
As soon as Qin Chuan's words fell, Zao Wou-Ki immediately understood the mystery.
"I see! What Qin Shaoxia did just now was not to find out the murderer, but to find out unrelated people! ”
"Master Zhao is quick to think."
Qin Chuan arched his hand with a smile, then took out the demon candle again, blew it gently, the candle flame appeared, and then there were bursts of exclamations outside the courtyard.
"Ahh My hand! ”
"It's on fire! It's on fire! ”
"Ahh Get water, get water! ”
Just now he smeared the colorless and odorless wax oil of the demon candle on the beads, and everyone who touched the beads would be stained with a trace amount of wax oil in their palms, and the demon candle had a magical place, no matter where its wax oil was, as long as the candle flame was lit, the wax oil that was dispersed would also burn.
And now those who are on fire in their palms outside are those who have just touched the beads, and those who are not on fire are those who have no hearts and dare not touch the beads.
"Master Zhao, you can call in those whose palms have not been on fire."
Seeing Qin Chuan's appearance of Zhizhu in his hand, Master Zhao also had a bottom in his heart, and even if he walked out, not long after, the riot outside subsided, and several guards pressed a man and a woman and walked in.
"Sun Jiaojiao!"
Looking at the woman who walked in, Qin Chuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Li on the side.
At this time, the latter was staring at his concubine's room with burning eyes, with anger and shame in his eyes, and his hands that were clenched and sometimes let go made Qin Chuan believe that if he wasn't here, Zhao Li at this time should have the heart to kill.
"It seems that it is not a good thing for a daughter-in-law to marry too much."
While Qin Chuan lamented the misfortune of the other party's family, Zhao Wuji, who had a blue face, walked over, arched his hand to him, and said, "Thank you Qin Shaoxia for finding the disaster for our Qin family." ”
In fact, Zhao Wouji was very dissatisfied with his son's concubine, and after investigation, he had a conflict with the main room with his grace, if it weren't for his uncompetitive son who really liked it, he would have kicked the other party out long ago.
"You're welcome."
Qin Chuan arched his hand and looked at Sun Jiaojiao and the other man dressed as a guard, only to see that the two of them at this time were like they were drunk, and they were soft, and they could only be held by the guards beside them.
Looking closely, there was still a hint of panic in the eyes of the two of them, as if they had done something bad and were caught red-handed.
"Master Zhao, although these two people did not touch the beads, it cannot be concluded that they have something to do with the disappearance of the little boy, how is the specific, it is better to inquire carefully."
Although he was 99 percent sure in his heart that the two people were related to the disappearance of the child, he still felt that he could not make a judgment on this, so as to avoid the situation of unjust, false and wrongful convictions.
"Qin Shaoxia is reasonable."
Zhao Wuji nodded, and then asked in a deep voice: "Sun Jiaojiao, things have come to this point, do you still plan to hide it?" ”
"It's not a real recruit yet!"
Zhao Wuji has been in charge of the Zhao family for many years, and naturally has his might, at this time, under the deep voice, Sun Jiaojiao took the lead in collapsing under his momentum.
"I'll recruit you."
Sun Jiaojiao's whole person was paralyzed on the ground, and she immediately teamed her up with the guards, turned the nurse with medicinal numb, and then hid the child, and told it 1510.
As for her purpose in doing this, it is also very simple, it is nothing more than a competition for favor in the backyard of a wealthy family, although Zhao Li is very kind to her, but she knows that she has no heirs, in the backyard of Zhao Mansion, just like the rootless duckweed, once she loses Zhao Li's favor, she will become nothing again.
Therefore, Liu Qingmei, who has already given birth to an heir for the Zhao family, has always held a grudge against her, however, the status of the other party's wife has been decided, and she has no power to return to heaven, so she can only put her mind on the child.
She believes that as long as she has no children, Liu Qingmei's status in the Zhao Mansion will be lost, and at that time, she can take advantage of the situation and win the position of wife.
"Once you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea."
Listening to Sun Jiaojiao's narration, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think of the popular sentence in his previous life, the mansion seems to be beautiful, but the life behind the scenes may not be easy.
"Zhou Yuan, I remember that our Zhao Mansion has never treated you badly, why do you want to do this?"
Compared to Sun Jiaojiao, Zao Wou-Ki was puzzled by the guard, Sun Jiaojiao was born as a geisha, and his social relations were simple, and he had no chance of buying his henchmen in the Zhao Mansion, he didn't understand why the other party would take a risk to help Sun Jiaojiao.
"I have not been wronged." The guard named Zhou Yuan shook his head.
"And what benefit did she give you?"
"I haven't given it."
"Then you two ......"
"Don't guess, sir." Zhou Yuan raised his head and looked at Sun Jiaojiao on the side, "There is no innocence between me and her, and there is no dirtiness." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but be confused, there was no adultery between the two, and no benefits were given, how could Zhou Yuan be willing to help Sun Jiaojiao do things?
Is there something wrong with this guy's head?
However, Qin Chuan, who was standing on the side watching the play, saw a little tiredness, and he found that Zhou Yuan's gaze at Sun Jiaojiao was mixed with a special emotion, which was summed up in the words of his previous life, that is, a secret love.
Moreover, this is not an ordinary crush, looking at this situation, Zhou Yuan should have evolved to the extent of licking a dog, and it is normal to be willing to do such things for the sake of the goddess in his heart.
Seeing that Zhou Yuan didn't mean to explain, Zao Wou-Ki didn't bother to ask again, and now the key is to figure out where these two people hid his grandson.
"Sun Jiaojiao, where is the child hidden by you, say it, I will consider sparing your life."
Sun Jiaojiao is not the kind of character who loves to madness, hates to madness, even if she dies, she has to take revenge on you, she is also life-sparing, at this time, when she heard that she could still live, she immediately said where the child was hidden.
"The child was hidden by me in the secret room of the rockery in the backyard."
"Rockery Secret Room?"
Zao Wou-Ki muttered, he knew about the rockery in the backyard, but when did a secret room appear there?
"I stumbled upon the Chamber of Secrets." At this time, Zhou Yuan said, "I can take the master over." ”
To tell the truth, the Zhao family treats him well, and he also remembers kindness in his heart, according to Sun Jiaojiao's idea, he wanted to strangle the child to death directly, and it was his persuasion that made Sun Jiaojiao give up this plan.
At this time, seeing that the master was willing to spare their lives, he was naturally willing to contribute.
"Take him with you, and we'll go."
......
After a short time, the group came to the rockery in the backyard.
Zhou Yuan pointed to a stone on the rockery and said, "Master, you only need to move this stone to see the secret room." ”
Hearing this, without commanding, the two guards stepped forward to move the stone away, and sure enough, as the stone moved away, a small hole was revealed behind it, which could accommodate almost three or five people.
"Master, the little boy was put on that stone bed by me."
Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed to a place in the cavity, however, everyone followed his gaze and found that it was empty, and there was no trace of a child at all.
"How could it be! I obviously put the little boy here, how could there be none! ”
At this time, Zhou Yuan also noticed something strange and immediately rushed into the secret room, however, he searched every corner, and there was no trace of the child.
"Huh? There are quirks. ”
