"Somebody's talking about themselves. Miao Xiang said in her heart, sneezing non-stop.

"Are you sick? Quit asked as he asked.

"No, it's just that it's been delayed here for a long time, and I don't know if Yuebai and the others have escaped the pursuit of the people in black, and I don't know if there will be a chance to see each other again in the future. Miaoka was worried.

Quit drunk and didn't speak. Picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine.

Long.

"We can't go until things here are settled. Quit got up, lifted his legs and walked out. "Why don't you go and visit the gardens of the General's Palace. ”

"It's fine. ”

The two of them walked one after the other, unhurriedly.

"Senior Brother Ji is the eldest of our senior brothers, after the new emperor ascended the throne ten years ago, Master quietly retired and has never been seen since. And more than ten of my brothers and sisters also went to the west and the east. I haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't want his family to change dramatically, and Liu Changqing is nowhere to be found. ”

Mioka didn't talk.

I didn't say anything about quitting drunkenness, and time seemed to stop there. The two of them went all the way, each with their own hearts.

In the distance, Lord Yun and his master were walking towards this side, stopping to quit drunkenness, standing on the side of the road and waiting for Lord Yun.

"Oh, is this the one? Look at my memory. Master Yun symbolically waved the handkerchief in his hand. I also patted my head, so it looks pretty cute.

"Adults, small ones get drunk. She is Xiangxiang. ”

"I'm going to the general, so let's go with you. Master Yun said, and walked forward.

General Li and Yashan were drinking tea when they saw Lord Yun and others coming. "Didn't you make a new discovery?" General Li asked Master Yun.

"Yes, General. Two strangulation marks were found on the White Lady, who was murdered. Later, the theater caught fire, but fortunately, the lower officials had the foresight, and the theater was crowded, in order to protect the evidence and prevent the murderer from destroying the scene, the room where the white lady died I have moved to the yamen. The old man paused, and saw that General Li did not express his approval. coughed a few times, and then spoke: "The body of the white lady has been examined, her tongue is spit out, there is no sign of poisoning, she did not struggle too much before she died, and her hands are curled and scratched. The murderer thought that Kong Wu was powerful, saying that the White Lady attacked while she was sleeping, and the White Lady was suffocated to death. The lethal strangulation marks are thin and deep, and the silk hanging on the beam is soft, and the shallow and wide strangulation marks after the death of the white lady should be caused by the silk belt. "Master Yun is rare and serious.

"The murder weapon should have been a slender iron wire and copper wire, but it was not found at the scene. The White Lady's feet never stepped on the corner of the stool, which was the negligence of the murderer. So after that, the stool will be pushed down, and the intention of the white lady to commit suicide will be self-defeating. The murderer is already aware of this, but why not replace the stool or just take the stool, after all, the murderer can take the wire. Master Yun continued.

"What does this mean?" asked Yashan.

A mysterious smile appeared on Master Yun's face, "This shows that the murderer is a person from the troupe, or someone who is very familiar with the theater environment." ”

Looking at Yashan's puzzled look, Master Yun's face became more and more radiant.

"The tables and chairs in the theater in the town are all made by the famous Master Lu in the town, and Master Lu also confirmed that the seats in the theater are exactly the same size, so the murderer has no way to replace them, and he can take away the wire because the wire is easy to store, and the stool cannot be hidden. ”

"The murderer can re-tie the silk cloth, why didn't he adjust the length?" General Li said lightly.

"That's why I said that the murderer was a person from the theater or someone who was familiar with the theater. After the White Lady went out at night and returned, she was killed after falling asleep, and it was close to the early morning when the White Lady died, only the troupe or people familiar with the theater knew that everyone in the theater had the habit of hanging their voices and exercising in the morning. "Master Yun was complacent.

"I told the general about the former, there was mud on the shoes of the white lady, I think it was the day when the troupe first arrived, and the yellow mud at the well in the courtyard was wet after the rain, so I stepped on it. Later, the lower officials sent people to take samples and compare, and it was the soil next to the wellhead. Xiaguan and the master went to the well to inspect together, and saw that an abandoned well was covered with thatch and other things, and although there were weeds around, yellow mud was revealed in many places. It's just an abandoned well, nothing special. ”

"What does that mean. Yashan was a little curious.

Master Yun smiled slightly, "Don't worry, my lord. Xia Guan went to check why the white lady's shoes were stained with the mud in the backyard. In addition to the field next to the well, there are stone paving roads in other places, but the places that are not often walked are weeds reborn. In other words, except for a gravel road leading to the waste well, there is only silt next to the waste well. ”

"Yes. General Leigh snorted.

Master Yun straightened his face, "It's not surprising that Xia Guan saw the well, and he is also very curious why the white lady stepped on the dirt next to the abandoned well." Staring at the dirt for a while, there was a major discovery. ”

Master Yun paused, "After the rain the day before yesterday, when the official went to see it, the soil had dried out, and in addition to the footprints of the white lady, another person's footprints were found by the well. It was preliminarily concluded that the shoe prints of a middle-aged and elderly man were tiled and blurred in many places. It should be caused by the friction between the person wearing the shoes and the ground when he usually walks, and it can be concluded that they are an old pair of shoes. ”

In the past few days, Xia Guan thought of everyone's escape from the well, and suddenly thought of Ge Hong. Sure enough, the wellhead shoe print was left by the shoes worn by the dead fake Ge Hong. ”

"That doesn't prove that the White Lady was killed by the fake Ge Hong. Yashan was unimpressed.

"Your Excellency has a point. The person who killed the White Lady was a person in the theater, and the shoe prints at the mouth of the well were only fake Ge Hong and the White Lady, and there was no third party, indicating that both of them had been to the well at night. The fake Ge Hong didn't tell anyone about the secret passage in the well, but the white lady was there, I don't know if it was a coincidence that she found Ge Hong's secret or if the fake Ge Hong told the white lady about the secret passage. ”

After the theater caught fire, Ge Hong first went to the back door, saw that the back door was locked, and then turned back, and then led everyone to escape through the secret passage. It shows that he very much does not want to expose the fact that there are tunnels in the waste well. I also asked everyone in the troupe, this white lady is calm, taciturn, and does not have much intersection with others, and this fake Ge Hong and the white lady have never met, so it is impossible for the fake Ge Hong to tell the white lady about authentic matters, and it will also expose a series of conspiracy to assassinate the general and pretend to be the general. So it should be that the white lady went out at night and found the secret of the fake Ge Hong in the courtyard and was killed. ”

"Now that the fake Ge Hong is dead, there is no proof of death, and you have no evidence, all of this is inference, how to prove that the white lady was strangled to death by the fake Ge Hong. Yashan asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, just yesterday, Xia Guan went back and carefully inspected the dead body of the white lady and the furniture in the room. The hard work paid off, there was loess rubbing on the stool, and the shoes of the white lady were placed on the ground, and the feet of the white lady could not reach the stool, that is, she did not step on the shoes and hanged herself. So it could only be Ge Hong, because the night before dawn was unknown, things were panicked, and he didn't pay attention to it and didn't wipe it off with a wet rag. ”

Master Yun said again: "The white lady went out at night to discover Ge Hong's secret passage, Ge Hong was afraid that the secret would be exposed, and she would kill people. ”

Master Yun asserted.

"Naturally, it is not enough to conclude that it is Ge Hong based on the loess on the stool in the room, but after determining that the fake Ge Hong has a motive for murder and a certain inference to corroborate evidence, Xia Zuo ordered the servant to carefully investigate the body of the fake Ge Hong, and found that the fake Ge Hong has a soft sword around his waist, and there is a wire ring around his wrist in the sleeve, which coincides with the fatal wound on the neck of the white lady. ”

"Not bad. General Leigh boasted.

Master Yun's face bloomed with joy, "Xia Guan also found that the white lady's silk cloth was made of high-grade silk, which was an item in the palace. A corner of white silk cloth is embroidered with a plum blossom moon. I'm afraid the origin of this white lady is also extraordinary. ”

General Li groaned for a while, "There have been a lot of things lately, and Master Yun has worked hard." The White Lady's other affairs have been put on hold for the time being, and the fake Ge Hong has also died. Ge Qiuxiang's friend Lotus has also arrived at the house, so let's go and meet it together. ”
