Chapter 36 The Female Corpse in the Study Room

Ren Fuzhi called to be in charge, but after a while, Chun'er came to the study, her complexion was pale, and she was even more flustered when her eyes touched the bloodstain on the ground.

"Civil daughters see you adults." Chun'er quickly knelt down, trembling.

"Please, don't be too formal." Mao Yi's eyes lit up after seeing Chun'er, and he comforted him in a slow voice, "I just asked you to come and ask questions, don't be afraid."

"The daughter of the people did not kill Mrs. Qin, please learn from me!" Chun'er raised her head and shouted.

"The real murderer has been put in jail long ago, and I didn't say you are the murderer." Mao Yi leaned forward and gently helped Chun'er up.

"Lord Xie Xiancheng." Chun'er got up, and the two of them were tired and swayed for a while, very unhappy.

Du Si felt that his eyes were a little hot, so he turned his back and let Fuzhi cough a few times to remind Mao Yi who was addicted to beauty.

Mao Yi immediately let go, and said seriously, "I almost forgot the business, Chun'er, repeat the scene of Qin's murder that you saw that day with me."

"I, I..." Chun'er swallowed, and tried to calm down, "That morning, I came to bring tea to my wife as usual, but no one answered when I knocked on the door. , opened the door, madam... madam was lying on the ground, already dead."

Chun'er wept, Mao Yi stepped forward to comfort him again, Du thought about it a few times, and asked Chun'er again.

"At that time, did you pay attention to whether there was anything unusual in the room? For example, there was something on the table, marks on the ground."

"Strange?" Chun'er murmured, as if thinking of something, "The things on the table should be the same as at this moment, and on the ground..."

Chun'er looked at the floor. Because of the continuous rain in the past few days, there were a lot of muddy footprints coming in and out. The county magistrate also ordered idlers not to enter, and the ground was already in a mess.

"I remembered." Chun'er stopped crying, and his face was full of surprise, "Because Mrs. Qin bled so much, I just stared at the floor. The floor was clean that day, without any footprints."

"What?" Before Du Si and the others made a sound, Mao Yi was very puzzled, "It was raining that night, and the Qin family called three servants. How could there be no footprints in the study?"

"Madam loves cleanliness. When she asks servants to enter or exit the study, she will place a cushion behind the threshold. Those who come in can only step on this cushion to talk. If they move a little bit, they will be punished by Madam."

"Hmm... Mrs. Qin's death was still some distance away from the door." Mao Yi rolled his eyes and said flatly, "In short, the suspects are all in jail, I think it's just..."

"Chun'er, has this tripod incense burner always been in the study?"

Du Si interrupted Mao Yi neither humble nor overbearing, and came to Chun'er.

"Madam bought it a few years ago. Madam likes to change the incense herself, and usually does not let others touch the incense burner." Chun'er replied.

"Is the time for the Qin family to change the incense?"

"Sure, very accurate." Perhaps it was due to Du Si's good looks, and Chun'er's face was much more relaxed, "Madam once told me that when you are in a good mood, you are most concerned about luck in business. No matter what kind of fragrance it is, you can choose it yourself." All good."

Hearing this, Du Si took out a piece of bloody incense candle found in the incense burner and put it in front of Chun'er.

"I found this from the incense burner in the study. Just think about it, whether the incense in the study was burned out that day."

Chun'er shook her head in fear, "I don't remember."

"The incense in the censer was burned out. I looked at the censer that morning, but I didn't search it properly." Ren Fuzhi said regretfully, "If I could have found it earlier, the three servants would not have suffered such an innocent disaster. "

"I don't think so." Du Si shook his head.

No matter whether the real culprit is found or not, the servants who went to Qin's study that night will be put in prison awaiting trial. If Du Si hadn't passed through Yecheng, they might be killed in a few days and become scapegoats for this case .

Du Si checked the study. The papers on the table were all about the jewelry store's income records. He had exhausted all the clues he could search. He walked out of the study and followed the steward to the residence of Ying'er and the others, wanting to inquire about the situation on the night of the incident. .

The residences of Zheng Qiu and Li Ge are not far away, closer to the back door, and Ying'er is on the other side, at the main entrance of Pianzhuang Mansion.

Du Si asked many people, and finally, there was one person who could remember what happened that night.

"The night Madam Qin died? They went out too late, and I lay down at Haishi, but at Yinshi, the watchman happened to pass by, so I woke up for a while, and vaguely heard footsteps." A little Si recalled.

"Have you seen the appearance of that man?" Du Si asked quickly.

"It was raining that night, and the moon was not clear. I could only see that it was a man, who seemed to be holding something in his hand, and hurried out. Hey, I remember someone saw it at the back door. You can ask him. , he remembers better than me."

Du Si followed the man's instructions and came to the back door. Coincidentally, the person the boy mentioned happened to be the person Du Si talked to at the back door a few days ago.

When he saw Du Si and his gang, the servant at the back door was shocked.

"Why are you, didn't you say that you sell straw sandals?"

"What are you talking about? These are the officials of the government!" The steward patted the boy on the head vigorously, and smiled randomly, "My lords, please forgive me. He just came to the Zhuang Mansion not long ago and didn't know the rules. The adults called him a little boy." Four will do."

Du Si waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened, and Mao Yi who was beside him followed behind and said disdainfully, "You are a big kid, so you put on a bit of airs, hmph."

"Xiao Si, let me ask you." Du Si stepped forward and pointed to the direction of the back door, "The night Qin Shi was killed, you saw a man rushing out of this door with something in his hands at Yu Yinshi ?”

Xiao Si nodded, and seeing Du Si's serious appearance, Mao Yi muttered to himself again.

"Some people say you can see very clearly, is that true?"

"Of course it's true, I still know who that person is." Xiao Si raised his head and raised his chest.

"This person is none other than Master Zhuang, the owner of the Zhuang Mansion!"

"what?"

Xiao Si's words were like a stone thrown into the lake, causing countless ripples and ups and downs.

The author has something to say: I opened a pre-acquisition, I hope everyone can support it (^ω^)

But I guess I will be idle (crying)
