"If it were me, I would have done it on purpose, and I would definitely not have done things so rough. I always feel that this matter was not done exquisitely from beginning to end." Qin Yun expressed what she thought in her heart, "Since it is targeted, the behind-the-scenes People who know the current situation of the second lady, and know so much about Qiu Zhu's itinerary, must be from the villa or are very familiar with the villa. If it were me, I would definitely find a way to get the second lady to leave Ju'an Hall when he attacked. In this way, it is easier to prove the crime, but now there are two kinds of opinions. The people in Ju'an Hall said that she left at noon, but the second lady said that it had been a long time since noon when she left, and both the coachman and the maid could testify .”

"I always feel that someone wants to disturb the water in the villa, and then come to fish in troubled waters, but I don't know which one he can figure out, Qiusheng or Qiuzhu?"

"That's why Qiuzhu wants to use this trick to lure the snake out of the hole. I really don't know who is the fish."

After Qiu Zhu came back, he ignored the storm outside, and asked Lin Qi to quietly send the wreckage of the carriage to a hut in the backyard through the back door. Apart from taking care of Xun Fei, he locked himself in the hut all day long and watched the wreckage. A pile of broken things.

"My lord, I've seen all these things, and there's nothing suspicious." Lin Qi stayed by the side, but Qiu Zhu took a rope and handed it to him, "Replay the way you tied the rein that day."

Lin Qi was suspicious, but he did as he did, and pulled it specially, "Look, son, the knot is very tight, and it doesn't take much effort to stretch out that knot."

Qiu Zhu stepped forward, it was indeed very tight, and he pulled hard to release it. After several times of pulling, Qiu Zhu has been studying some things that Lin Qi can't understand at all.

"Lin Qi, give me the rein from that day." Lin Qi handed over the blood-stained rein, which was covered with dark red horse blood. Huo used tweezers to pick out a small piece of red stuff from the gap.

"My lord, what is this?" Even horse blood shouldn't look like this. "It looks a bit like..."

"Nails." Qiu Zhu looked back and forth, one side was bright red, the other side was white and yellowish, Lin Qi looked down at his nails, "Is this the broken armor left by the man who untied the rope?"

"And it's a woman, with Kodan on it, and judging from the length of the broken nails, it should be a woman who has such long nails." Qiu Zhu vaguely knew, "Ordinary women don't put Kodan on their hands, At least she is a famous lady of some status, who do you think this person is?"

"But the second lady can also paint Kodan, which is not unusual."

Qiu Zhu sneered, and put the broken armor on the white cloth, "It's also thanks to my understanding of her temperament, she must have been anxious to let dad see her reflection and repentance, living in plain clothes and vegetarian food, so how could she paint like this?" Bright Koudan, this is contrary to her original intention, I believe she is still smart."

Only then did Lin Qi discover that Qiu Zhu had never addressed the second wife as Erniang. Obviously, in his heart, the second wife would never enter the villa again in this lifetime.

"Why did the young master report the clue to the second wife early? Didn't he fall into the enemy's trap?" Lin Qi understood that someone was creating conflicts between the young master and his young master with sinister intentions.

"Since we worked so hard to weave this trap, how can we make them understand that this fisherman's profit is not so easy to reap."

Guzheng will come to deliver food and tea to Qiuzhu in person at regular times every day. Qiuzhu's condition is obviously much better, and he will also chat with Guzheng.

On this day, Lin Qi was sending the Guzheng back, and on the way Guzheng pretended to be unintentional and asked, "What is brother Qiu Zhu busy with these days, I just saw that he is not in Xunfei's room."

"Young master is looking for the real culprit of the murder, and now there are some clues. It seems that there are clues left by the real culprit on the rein. I believe that this person will be found tonight." Lin Qi sent him to the toilet. Respectfully turned and left.

At this time, Gu Zheng's palms were soaked with sweat from Lin Qi's pretentiously casual words, and he was biting his lower lip and pacing in the quiet corridor.Sure enough, what Gu Ran said was right, and Qiu Zhu will definitely find out when she regains her senses. She suddenly remembered the broken nail she found when she went home that day, and wondered whether the clue Lin Qi was talking about was the piece of broken nail.

"No, I can't let Brother Qiuzhu find out. If he really stayed on that rope, he would definitely suspect that it was mine."

Gu Zheng wanted to wait for Gu Ran to come back to have a discussion, but waited and waited but saw no movement of Gu Ran's return. She was afraid that after a long time, Qiu Zhu would realize that it was her, so after the dead of night, all the maids around her waited. Falling asleep, she quietly sneaked into Qiu Zhu's courtyard again.

She knew that the room Lin Qi knew was in the small corner at the back of the yard, and she knew that Qiu Zhu must be accompanying him in Xun Fei's room, so she purposely went around from the other side.

When I first entered the hut, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly. Guzheng wanted to light a candle, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she could only move forward.

There was the rein on the table, and the blackened blood could still be seen vaguely. She went to the brightest corner of the room to check if there was her broken armor in the gap between the ropes. After searching around, she found nothing, and felt relieved. tone.

Just when she settled down to put the rope back to its original place, she found a folded white cloth on the table. She opened it curiously, but what she saw almost made her fall to the ground. Only that piece of armor still had the bright red Kodan on it.

Guzheng pressed her chest tightly to breathe slowly. She opened the window not far away, then took away the piece of armor, and threw the white cloth on the ground casually, making people mistakenly think that it was the wind blowing in the middle of the night, and the window was closed. Off, blowing away the things on the table.

Guzheng left in a hurry, Qiu Zhu and Lin Qi had been standing not far away to witness what she did, Lin Qi was so angry that he almost wanted to catch the woman on the spot, Qiu Zhu waved her hand, "The snake has already come out of the hole, and it's time to wait for the snake to escape." Do you need to be in such a hurry?"

"I'll keep an eye on it secretly tonight, so as not to cause trouble again." After saying that, Lin Qi quietly followed Guzheng and left.

Qiu Zhu gathered the thin shirt on her body, turned around and returned to Xun Fei's bedroom, Xun Fei was still lying on the bed and fell asleep, Qiu Zhu watched his cheeks gradually sunken these days, and he was always thinning. He stretched out his hand to cover his forehead with pity, "Don't be angry, the murderer will soon have to pay for it, if you are not angry, wake up quickly, it's not good for me to serve you like this all day long, isn't it? "He leaned over and kissed Xun Fei's chapped lips, he took the teacup, dipped a porcelain spoon with tea, and dabbed it on his lips little by little.
