ancient criminal minds

Lu Zheng, Tang Min and others happened to see this scene when they opened the door, Tang Min hurriedly asked the police to catch Yan Huanniang, Lu Zheng rushed over and slapped the porcelain bottle in Yan Huanniang's hand, and then shouted: "Quick! Call the doctor! "

But it was already too late when the doctor came, and the maidservant's face showed a dark and lifeless look, and it was too late to recover.It wasn't the first time Lu Zheng saw a dead person, but it was the first time he saw a person die in front of him.

Yan Huanniang confessed to what she committed, Tang Min was about to ask the police to take her back to prison, but Lu Zheng walked over, his eyes were cold, looking straight at Yan Huanniang: "Aunt Seven, This is the last time I call you that, and I hope you can tell the truth."

Yan Huanniang smiled slightly: "Everything I said is true."

"Then why did you kill the uncle and the sister-in-law?"

"Of course there is a grudge."

"Then the cousin who drowned in the water ahead, the elder brother who died of sudden illness, and my cousin who died because of the worsening of the wind and cold, do they also have grudges against you?"

Yan Huanniang didn't speak, but Tang Min was surprised by Lu Zheng's words: "What does this mean?"

Lu Zheng ignored it and just stared at Yan Huanniang closely: "To this day, the real cause of their death is no longer available, but if you feel guilty about these few, at least you can admit that you killed them. "

At this time, Tong Shi and the others who received the news also hurried over, but it was hard to hear this sentence, Tong Shi widened his eyes: "Impossible, they clearly..."

"Yes, I killed them all." Yan Huanniang admitted.

Everyone's eyes on this weak woman changed. If it wasn't for the discovery that she was going to poison the maid this time, how long would this femme fatale woman have been hiding.

She admitted all these things, but Lu Zheng was not happy. He could understand Yan Huanniang's mood at the moment better than anyone else. She wanted to bear all the guilt by herself, but let the real The femme fatale got away with it.

"You have lived in the Lu family for so many years, if you really have a grudge, with your ability, why wait until now?" Lu Zheng said, "You can make people look like you died by accident, so why use poison now? "

"Who are you hiding for?"

When Wu Shi in the crowd heard this, she flinched a little, and then followed everyone else to look at Yan Huanniang, but there was panic in her eyes that couldn't be concealed.

Yan Huanniang didn't look at Wu Shi, but Lu Zheng saw her at a glance, which made her panic even more.

"Auntie in the hall, why don't you answer it?"

Mrs. Wu panicked immediately, but said sternly, "What do you mean! I'm innocent, don't you want to frame me!"

"I looked through the case files. On the day that aunt died, you appeared by the pond where the accident happened. But at that time, it was the Seventh Tang Shu's memorial ceremony, so the mansion was chaotic, and the shoe prints on the moss by the pond made you appear. So I didn't investigate it carefully, so it was treated as an accidental closure." Lu Zheng's tone was not in a hurry, but he pressed on step by step, "That night, Aunt Seven was not in the mansion, but I don't know how she committed the crime, how about How about you telling me how you pushed Tanggu into the pond, and how you and Seventh Aunt faked the scene of the accident?"

After meeting Zhiyun, Lu Zheng realized that something must have happened that night, preventing Yan Huanniang from killing her, so during the investigation, he found that the cousin died at the same night, and he was looking at the file When she found something different, she made a bold guess, so she deliberately said that she was defrauding Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Wu is obviously not a scheming woman.

Yan Huanniang looked at Wu Shi quietly, and she wept bitterly and admitted that she had just missed a moment, and Yan Huanniang taught her to do other things, and she was innocent.

Lu Zheng looked at Yan Huanniang: "Such a person, do you want to continue to cover up for her?"

Yan Huanniang looked at Wu's pleading eyes, every time she looked at her with this kind of eyes, she just wanted to kill for her, one after another, the blood all over her body couldn't be washed off, but she couldn't refuse her.Yan Huanniang vaguely knew that she was wrong, but if even Yueniang no longer needed her, then what was the value of her existence, wouldn't she be like a lonely ghost?

Yan Huanniang closed her eyes and said softly: "Yes, I did it all."

Wu shi heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

Lu Zheng clenched his fists and slammed the wall hard. Seeing that Yan Huanniang was about to be taken away, he finally asked unwillingly: "Why!"

She turned you into a demon, she made you full of sin, she easily abandoned you, why do you still help the evildoers, why are you so determined to bear all the blame for her!

Yan Huanniang didn't speak, but a tear silently rolled down her cheek.

The case was solved, but Lu Zheng didn't feel a sense of accomplishment at all. He always felt that Yan Huanniang deliberately showed her flaws, otherwise, according to her level of thoughtfulness, they shouldn't have been caught so easily.

Yan Huanniang deserved what she deserved, and Lu Zheng didn't sympathize with her, but the real culprit was not punished as he should, which made him feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, the main house sent someone to pass the message that his wife, Yun Shi, was going out to look at the house, and asked Lu Zheng to go out with her.

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, I don't know why, recently his mother likes to ask him to go out more and more when he goes out, but he was always dragged out by his mother to go shopping with him in modern times, so he didn't think much, let Liu Zhi and the others take care of him I changed my clothes and went out.

Yun Shi was waiting beside the carriage, seeing him in a hurry, she couldn't help straightening his collar, and said angrily: "Mother didn't rush you, why are you in a hurry?"

Lu Zheng scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

The two got into the carriage, and Yun Shi explained: "Your second sister and her husband will come to Yanjing in the next year. Your second sister said that she might stay here for a long time, and it's not good to stay in her mother's house all the time, so she thought about going for them. Find a house."

Lu Zheng nodded. In his memory, the second sister was very kind to the original owner. When she got married, the original owner was still very reluctant, and even had subtle hostility towards the second brother-in-law.

Yun just happened to mention this too: "You are grown up now, so don't be as rude as before, so as not to make it difficult for your second sister."

"Understood..." Lu Zheng felt the brother-in-law mentality in his heart, and said inappropriately.

Yun said again: "This time, your two nephews and nieces will also come here, and they should also go to the home school to study. As an elder, you should take a good lead."

Lu Zheng replied with a guilty conscience. He hasn't been home for a long time. In order to solve the case, he didn't even do the writing task assigned by his elder brother for a while.

Seeing his expression, Yun knew it, and immediately said angrily: "Okay, you, as long as you don't bring bad people along."

The carriage "babbled" and arrived at Wuliu Lane.

Lu Zheng was stunned when he saw the familiar scenery: "Mother, could it be that the house you found for the second sister and the others is in the Lu family's home?"

Yun shook his head, and said flatly, "It's the Lu residence."

Lu Zheng was even more shocked, Yun Shi had already brought the maid into the house, the mansion was already empty, Lu Yuan, who had lost a lot of weight, directed the servants to move things, saw Yun Shi, he smiled lightly, and cupped his hands: " Mrs. Lu."

He didn't address the third aunt according to the ranking, but Yun seemed to be very satisfied, and asked with concern: "The time is so fast, are there enough people?"

"Please don't forget about it. Everything that can be sold is sold, and the rest are just soft, not troublesome."

"Several clan elders seem to have complaints, you..."

"Don't worry, I've convinced them, after all, the Lu family is just a rich man." Having said that, Lu Yuan smiled wryly, "Third Uncle has been secretly helping the Lu family all these years. know the good and the bad."

After Lu Yuan was released from prison, he no longer pretended to be a good old man. Most of the Lu family's foundation was in his hands. He also recruited several elders who had the right to speak in the clan and became the patriarch of the Lu family.After becoming the patriarch, the first order he gave was to move the whole family back to their original place. The Lu family's house was originally bought by the old British father, and he returned it to Lu Qing.

Lu Zheng had only vaguely heard about these things, and today he followed Yun's here, only then did he realize that the other party was really determined to leave.

Mrs. Yun signaled the servant behind him to hand over a box: "This is the sacrificial field that my father-in-law bought when he was alive. Originally, the family didn't plan to go back, so this sacrificial field has never been given to you. In addition, there are some silver taels. You have to take care of everyone like this." Son, and sold most of the property, after all, it is a bit difficult."

Lu Yuan was not polite because of face, he took it after thanking him.

Yun Shi still wanted to ask him a few words, when she saw a woman with disheveled hair rushing in, murmuring, she didn't know what to say.

Yun Shi was taken aback, Lu Zheng hurriedly protected her behind him, looked carefully, and then said in surprise: "Auntie in the lobby!"

That woman was Wu Yueniang. She raised her head and smiled foolishly, her face was covered with stains.

Lu Yuan frowned, asked Wu Yueniang to be dragged down, and explained: "After what happened, the clan elders felt that Wu was not innocent, she was a step-wife, and she harmed my sister-in-law, so the clan elders decided after discussion. Divorce her, and before I can send her home, she goes mad."

He just said something in a few words, but he didn't mention what role he played in it. Anyway, now the Lu family is in charge of him. No matter whether Wu Shi is really crazy or fake, if she continues like this, he doesn't mind. Raising a lunatic.

Lu Zheng didn't know what Lu Yuan was thinking, he just watched Wu Shi being dragged away while screaming, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

His hand was gently held by Yun Shi, Yun Shi looked at his puzzled expression, and smiled softly: "You don't have to sympathize with her, she is not innocent."

Lu Zheng shook his head, trying to say that he understood.

The Yun family has already continued: "She is not the real Wu Yueniang, she is Wu Yueniang's concubine sister, she was supposed to be sent to be a concubine, but she resorted to tricks to destroy the innocence of the first sister and marry her instead."

"However, a fake is a fake, and it will never become real." After Yun said this indifferently, she turned her head to look at him, "Zheng'er, do you think so?"

Lu Zheng's heart felt cold, and he unconsciously let go of Yun's hand.

The author has something to say: "The moon in the sea is the moon in the sky, the person in front of you is the sweetheart, and the heart is always the heart of the spectator, but the person is the person in the play."——Zhang Ailing.

This is the source of inspiration for this case. I originally wanted to write about a woman who was forced to become a pervert by fate. She is pitiful and hateful, but it seems that everyone generally thinks that she is too vicious... Maybe my writing skills are not good enough.

I don’t remember where I saw it. Men kill for desire, women kill for survival. I personally think Yan Huanniang was created based on this kind of psychology, but she is not worthy of forgiveness. As for Wu Yueniang, maybe it’s more The way it is written with dramatic tension is that she is not punished, and it can even plant a foreshadowing for it, but I still hope that evil will be rewarded, at least in my novel, I hope that can be done.
