Dongdu Pavilion Case Record
Chapter 16 1.12 Selected Transcripts
Tang Wuyi is good at torture, sometimes oppressing, sometimes talking to people, with thousands of faces, especially able to use questions of various rhythms and angles to set out the words of the interviewee.Because he has been in charge of Dongdu Pavilion for several years, and he is used to seeing love and hatred in the martial arts world, and people's desires.Obtaining everyone's confession is like grasping a net, in which are all kinds of desires that are visible and invisible between people.Most of them are just like, hate, greed, etc., which can be seen at a glance.And once a case occurs, the starting point of various mysteries must come from a deeply hidden motive.The person involved must try his best to hide or disguise this motive, and in this way, disharmony will appear in the whole network of human relationships.What Tang Wuyi has to do is to find these incongruities, and then follow the vines to find the pretentious or hidden people.
He has interrogated all the people in the villa for a round. Although he was not present, he already knew the situation on the day of the crime.That day was originally Su Ranran and Xiahou Baiying's outing banquet before their wedding.Su Ranran, one of the deceased, was having a banquet with Xiahou Baizhi in his room, and they returned to each other after the end.The other deceased, Yang Yunzhang, attended the whole banquet in the hall, during which he was injured in a sword fight with Xiahou Baiying, but the wound was very small, and the owner of Xiahou's estate bandaged it himself.The body was found in the early morning of the second day.It can be seen that the time when the two died was from the end of the banquet to the early morning of the next day.The crime took place in the back garden, usually only female relatives came in and out, especially late at night.Tang Wuyi stroked his forehead with his hands and meditated: It is possible to connect the banquet in the main hall and the small banquet of the female relatives in the back garden; to be able to have free time to act alone and no one can prove it; Garden; to have a reasonable motive to kill Su Ranran and Yang Yunzhang... After thinking about it, that person is the most suspect.
Tang Wuyi thought about it and recalled it, but some nodes still couldn't be pieced together, and even contradicted each other.He read through all the interrogation transcripts one by one, took a few out of them, and compared them repeatedly for verification.Marked the following.
Xia Houhuan's transcript:
When did you return home on the day of the incident?
When the banquet was over at Haishi, I directed the maids to tidy up the front hall, and it was not midnight before we dispersed them.I was very tired after a busy day, so I sat down in front of the steps in the front hall and, um, looked at the moon for a while.It was about an hour before returning to the house.
Can anyone be seen?
(Blushes slightly) When I was sitting on the steps in the front hall, I looked up and seemed to see the Immortal under the Moon, who was very beautiful.I was taken aback, and after a closer look, I realized it was Wen Daochang.
Can I see anyone again?
No.
The record of Su Ranran's maid Liu'er:
Miss Xiahou, where did you go after you left Miss Su's room?
The servant girl went to the front hall to find Miss Huan.Originally, the slaves should stay to serve Miss Su, but that night Miss Su drank some wine with Miss Xiahou and said she was dizzy, so she put it away earlier and didn't want anyone to serve her.When Miss Huan delivered the food in the afternoon, she asked us to send the rest back after we finished eating.I didn’t want the girls to have a good time eating. It was late at night, and we temporarily put the leftovers of their meals in the small kitchen in the back garden. Several people were helping in the front hall. We didn’t have enough people, so we couldn’t send them back.I'm going to greet the girl.
Did you see Xia Houhuan?
(hesitating) See... see.Miss Huan, the servants saw that Miss Huan was crying...
Do you know why she is crying?
Slaves, servants don't know (hesitation).Seeing her crying, the servant girl couldn't speak, so she went back.
Transcript of Little Servant
I heard that your housekeeper is Miss Xia Houhuan, what do you think of her?
She is a great beauty, and she does everything properly.The master thinks highly of her.Hey, let me say something quietly, before we hired Miss Su, we all thought that the eldest young master and Miss Huan were both talented and beautiful, and they would be a good pair, and we would be handed over to Miss Huan as the housekeeper. We were very relieved.
Oh, it's a good relationship, they also have the same heart?
Hmm... can't tell.The eldest young master has always been very respectful and prudent, after all, he is the one who will inherit the villa.Girl Huan, she knows her identity and has always avoided suspicion.Hey, if I had known this before, I wouldn't have hired Miss Su to cause this tragedy, hey...
Records of Xiahou Baiying
Young Master Xiahou, your bride-to-be died in her boudoir before the wedding.
(face froze) Hmm.
Have you met Miss Su before?
No, my father decided for me, it must be a very good woman.
Now that you have seen it, how do you feel?
...beautiful.
Miss Su and Mr. Yang died in the room together, do you have any ideas?
(clenching fists) In any case, this matter did not end well, and our Xiahou family is responsible.
Do you like Xia Houhuan?
Why do you ask this question?
You just answer me.
I am the one who has been engaged, although now... no, I treat Xia Houhuan like a younger sister.
So does she like you?
... I don't know.
Records of Xiahou Ginkgo
Young master, where were you on the day of the incident?
I got so drunk I don't remember anything.It should be my servant who sent me back, and slept till dawn.
Miss Su has been in the village these days, have you seen her?
How can it be?I'm curious to see my future sister-in-law, but the family rules are strict, I didn't see her until she was dead, tsk tsk, it's really pitiful to see her, it's so miserable...
Does your brother like girls?
I guess like it... Hey, what?Miss Huan, Xia Houhuan?You are asking about Xia Houhuan?Hey, why did you ask so confusingly? I thought you were asking Miss Su.To be honest, I don't know what my brother is thinking.He likes the poem Jian Jia in "The Book of Songs" the most, and there is a picture of Jian Jia's beauty hanging in his room.There is a beautiful woman on the side of the water.Miss Su should be the type he likes... Xia Houhuan, hmph, who dares to mess with her?Disciplining the servants is merciless at all, I would run away when I saw it.
Notes of Madam Xiahou
Where was the lady on the night of the incident?
Me, I managed to get together with my former sisters until the banquet was over.There used to be such a banquet at home, and I always went back early to rest.After we're gone, it's natural to serve the master.
After Miss Su passed the door, you are her mother-in-law. Are you satisfied with her?
She has seen her several times since she came to the villa, and she is a lady of every family.But my mother-in-law is only in name, who really likes me?
What about Huan girl?
Well, she, sir, and the servants at home all believe her.How dare I criticize her?
I heard that she might have married the young master?
snort!Forget about being the butler, she is worthy of being the young wife of Guiyun Villa, even a bearded girl!The master only mentioned it in private when he was in a daze, but I scolded him back.
