Chapter 20 I almost lost you
I don't know what the idea of the two of them is, Tang Xun also asked Shi Shuiyue not to think nonsense, although Shi Shuiyue promised in her mouth, she couldn't calm down at all in her heart.
The next day, Tang Xun and Tang Yu both went out, and Shi Shuiyue didn't dare to tell Mu Qing about it, for fear that she would serve the yamen with an impulse.
"Shui Yue, are you going out?" Mu Qing looked at Shi Shui Yue, who was about to go out, and said a little uneasily: "Mu Lan is not by your side, it is not safe for you to go out alone, let me go out with you." ”
Shi Shuiyue shook her head, she wanted to go to that Chu Zhu Pavilion again to see if there were any other clues, if she asked Mu Qing to accompany her, wouldn't she find out something?
"I'll go alone. ”
Mu Qing looked at Shi Shuiyue, who had already walked out of the door, tilted his head and blinked, and then walked in the direction of the backyard.
Walking alone on the crowded streets, the vendors were shouting loudly, but Shi Shuiyue didn't have the heart to go shopping now, and she didn't even have the appetite for the rock sugar gourd she liked to eat when it passed in front of her. Walked quickly to Chu Zhuge, and after thinking for a while, she still decided to go to the kitchen to find out the news first.
"You said the dead man yesterday?" The woman who was stir-frying thought for a while, shook her head and said: "That death is a miserable one, but I went to rest at the time, and I don't really know what happened, but I heard them say that it seems that the flesh and blood were sucked dry by some monster, and only a skin and bone remained, hey, you said that this good person died in our restaurant, and there were many fewer customers today..."
Looks like there's no clue in the kitchen...
Shi Shuiyue looked down at her already rumbling belly, and casually went to a roadside stall to find a chaos shop and ate a bowl of chaos to fill her stomach.
And when the people next to him learned that the yamen was going to try the murder case in Chuzhu Pavilion yesterday in the afternoon, Shi Shuiyue ate a whole bowl of chaos and hurried to the yamen.
Although it was not long after noon, there was already a crowd of people at the door of the yamen, and Shi Shuiyue was also mixed in it.
After waiting for a long time, a carriage came to the gate of the yamen from the other end of the street.
"Get out of the way!"
The tall man in the guard's brocade robe held a long knife, standing on the carriage, with a serious face directing the other guards to evacuate the crowd, Shi Shuiyue looked at the golden silk thread on his robe, guessing that he was probably still a guard leader.
The people knew which official was coming when they saw this formation, so they got out of the way with interest, and Shi Shuiyue also walked to the side along with their trend.
"Phew!" the horse's movements slowed down as soon as the coachman pulled the rope.
The horse stomped on the ground a few times, but then did not move again, and the coachman got out of the car and fed the horse a few mouthfuls of water.
Immediately afterwards the head of the guard also jumped out of the carriage, and instead of going first, he stood beside the carriage.
The first to come out was a woman with a delicate face, she glanced at everyone with a smile on her face, walked gracefully to the side of the carriage, and slowly lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Everyone was still reminiscing about the woman's smile and couldn't extricate themselves, and they saw a man in a purple official uniform coming out of the carriage, the man was not tall or thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an official hat.
Gao Yusheng got out of the carriage and looked at the people, his face was always indifferent, and only when he saw the delicate woman would a faint smile appear.
"Your Excellency, Madam. The head of the guard said to the two.
Gao Yusheng nodded to the head of the guard, then turned his head to the woman and said, "Yun'er, aren't you going to the rouge shop?"
The woman smiled when she heard this, and said, "The official still remembers, then I'll go first." The woman wanted to get out of the carriage, but the maid next to her hurriedly came over and helped the woman.
"Go home early. Gao Yusheng said to the woman.
"Yes. The woman smiled and took the maid away.
Gao Yusheng glanced at the head of the guard, and the head of the guard understood, beckoning the two guards to follow the woman.
Gao Yusheng walked into the yamen, and the people continued to surround him, looking inside with his neck tilted.
"Ascension !!"
"Mighty..."
Just like in the plot of the movie, two rows of guards with long sticks, the vacant position in the middle is reserved for the magistrate, and there are two other positions next to it, sitting on the left is Xu Sai, who manages the data, he is a tall and thin spiritual man, wearing a blue and white robe, and holding a book in his hand I don't know what he is reading; and on the right is Li Shuyun, who manages the criminal department, he looks very unsmiling, and his copper bell-like eyes seem to see that everyone is a vicious bad person, which makes people shake their bodies.
"Take the prisoners, the witnesses to the court!" shouted a cloth-clothed waiter standing on the side of the lobby, although he looked very thin, but his voice was not weak at all.
Shi Shuiyue saw Mu Lan and the little second child that day walking in through the side door next to him.
Seeing that Mu Lan didn't seem to have been punished, Shi Shuiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Prisoner Mu Lan, can you be guilty?" Gao Yusheng's unwavering voice sounded on the stage, Mu Lan straightened his waist, looked up at Gao Yusheng, and said expressionlessly: "I didn't kill anyone." ”
Gao Yusheng was not surprised, turned his head to look at Xiao Er, and asked, "What about you?"
After all, Xiao Er came to the Yamen for the first time, and he was still a little scared of this local official, but Xiao Er had already practiced the ability to improvise, but he calmed down a little, and then said: "Lord Qingtian, the villain did see the dead person coming out of this girl's room. ”
"Oh, you can tell me more about it. Gao Yusheng looked at him and bowed slightly.
"Yes!" Xiao Er replied loudly: " That day, the villain went to deliver food to the guests on the second floor as usual, and after delivering the dishes, the villain was ready to go down to the kitchen to help, but a person suddenly walked out of the box and bumped into the villain, it was the dead son, the son felt guilty because he accidentally bumped into the villain and apologized to the villain, and by the way, he asked the villain about the direction of the toilet, and the villain told him, and the room where the boy came out was not closed, the villain saw the girl Mu in the room from the door of the room, and then the villain went to help Xiao Zhang deliver food to the princess in the south of the city, and after delivering the meal, the villain came back to Chuzhu Pavilion, because there were many guests that dayI went to help in the kitchen, but as soon as I opened the door, I saw the corpse of this boy. ”
There is a lot of content in Xiao Er's words, but most of them are not important information.
Gao Yusheng was thoughtful, and turned his head to look at Mu Lan: "Did you say that you never went out of the room door?"
"Yes, sir. Mu Lan said calmly.
Gao Yusheng asked again: "How can anyone prove it?"
Mullan was silent.
Gao Yusheng looked at her, as if he wanted to see something on her face, but Mu Lan was still expressionless, and Gao Yusheng couldn't guess what she was thinking.
Even so, it cannot be ruled out that someone else sneaked into the kitchen and killed him. This time it was Xu Sai who spoke, he flipped through the copywriting in front of him, stood up with the copywriting and said: " This case is similar to several murder cases in Yuhua Town, and the murder case in Yuhua Town happened a week ago, and Miss Mu Lan came to this town a week ago, if she is the culprit of these cases, it is a bit too unbelievable, but it is not ruled out that Miss Mu killed people in Yuhua Town to clear her suspicion, otherwise, the murderer came here from Yuhua Town, and after killing someone, he put this charge on Miss Mu's head, but Guo Xiaoer, who was the first to find the body, was the most suspicious person, because he was the first person to see the body, and all his confessions could lie...”
After a large series of explanations, Shi Shuiyue was stunned when she heard it, and she couldn't help but think in her heart that she deserved to be professional!
And the aunts who had been chirping crookedly behind their backs also stopped and looked at Xu Sai directly, with a handsome, adoring, and powerful expression on their faces.
Compared with Xu Sai, Li Shuyun was not so good-tempered, he directly slapped the table and stood up, looking at the people below angrily: "Who is it?
In the end, on the grounds of insufficient evidence, Mu Lan and Guo Xiaoer were temporarily detained, saying that they would be retried in three days.
It's not early, the play has been watched, and everyone has dispersed one after another, what should they do, it's time to go home.
Shi Shuiyue was also going back to talk to Tang Xun about today's events.
In fact, what Xu Sai said was really good, if she wasn't with Mu Lan at the time, she would definitely be suspicious of Mu Lan by this remark, so now the question is, this matter was not done by Mu Lan at all, so who is the real murderer? Although she can also bail Mu Lan out directly, but let the real murderer get away with it? Besides, this matter is linked to the matter of Yuhua Town, which is really very troublesome...
Just walked all the way and thought about it, and when Shui Yue came back to his senses, he didn't know when he walked in front of the woods outside the town.
Shi Shuiyue was about to go back, when she felt a wind on the right coming towards her, Shi Shuiyue reflexively dodged to the side, but the muscles and veins were abolished, and the martial arts were all lost, and this action was also a lot sluggish, and she could avoid the attack of the mysterious person and fell to the ground.
Shi Shuiyue felt that when she looked up at the person who was going to kill her, she only saw a touch of black, except for her eyes, all other parts were tightly blocked by black cloth.
The man in black didn't give Shi Shuiyue time to be stunned, and stabbed Shi Shuiyue in the heart with a dagger.
Shi Shuiyue hurriedly dodged to the side, but accidentally twisted his ankle, and he couldn't move at all.
"Zheng!" the dagger glowed blindingly in the moonlight, and Shi Shuiyue closed her eyes in despair.
Is she going to die here today!?
"Whoosh!"
"Bang dang. ”
Just when Shi Shuiyue gave up resistance, the man in black didn't make the next move, and the sound of a dagger falling to the ground sounded in his ears, and before Shi Shuiyue could react, he was held in his arms by a person.
Shi Shuiyue smelled this familiar smell and couldn't help but be stunned.
That indomitable body was trembling now, and the hand holding Shi Shuiyue was gradually tightening.
"I'm almost... I'm going to lose you..."
