Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

"What? Disappeared out of thin air?" Wen Tao was also shocked.

"This temporary Du Niang, no one has seen it before, and no one has seen it since, and it just disappeared!" Tang Wuyi said.

"Where is Master Chu, does she know?"

"Chu Fangzhu never knew that there was such a person, and never arranged any temporary bride."

"Then what does this person look like?" Wen Tao asked.

"It was already dark at that time, and Du Niang was wearing ordinary dresses. No one remembered such a person."

"It seems that this person is the key to the first case." Wen Tao said, "Such a person who sneaked in for no reason is likely to be the murderer who killed the lady of Xifang."

"That's right. At that time, there were only Du Niang and Mrs. Xifang among the flower boats. She could set the flower boat on fire with a little movement of her hands and feet," Tang Wuyi said. "By the way, what's the result of your autopsy here?"

Only then did Wen Tao turn his attention back and said, "Miss Suxin was drowned."

"Drown?" Tang Wuyi was a little surprised.

"Yes, she had water and algae in her lungs."

"This...the Danfeng White Lady who was fished out of the water was burned to death, and the Suxin lady who was hanging in the room was drowned." Tang Wuyi said to himself.

"Tang Yue, do you remember that Xia Ge's maid said that there was the sound of water when Mrs. Suxin went to send King Qi off that night."

"Remember, could it be..."

"Xia Pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, it is not difficult to push Miss Suxin who came back alone into the water and drown." Wen Tao said.

"No, Miss Suxin came back that night... Ah, isn't she the one who came back!" Tang Wuyi was stunned.

"That's right, Xia Ge's maid is not familiar with Miss Suxin. She came back from outside late at night, wearing a crab shell blue dress that is common in Yunshangfang, and walked upstairs directly with her head down. As long as she is a woman of similar stature, she will think it is Lady Suxin is back."

"So, at that time, Lady Suxin was already dead, and the murderer who came back pretending to be her secretly moved the body into the room." Tang Wuyi said.

Wen Tao nodded: "However, there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, the mystery of the secret room, and who is this mysterious person who pretended to be a temporary wife, imitated Die Wu's dance, and pretended to be Suxin's lady."

"And, motive." Tang Wuyi said, "So far, no motive has surfaced."

Wen Tao had no idea for the time being, so he could only observe several female corpses back and forth in Baihua Pavilion.These people were all famous maikos in various workshops before, and they originally participated in a grand event together, but they didn't want to die here, and their souls were in trouble.

Suddenly, he carefully compared the face of Mrs. Suxin and Mrs. Danfeng Bai, rubbing his hands from time to time.

"Taotao?" Tang Wuyi stared at him, "What are you doing?"

"Tang Yue, these two people have been soaked in the water before."

"nature."

"Look, Lady Suxin still has a lot of rouge left, and Lady Danfengbai has nothing on her face." Wen Tao said.

"Ms. Danfengbai was soaked in the water all night, and Mrs. Suxin was dragged up as soon as she died." Tang Wuyi said.

Wen Tao looked left and right and was still dissatisfied, and said, "Tang Yue, find an excuse to drag Xia Ge's maid and Dong Ge's Ah Qing together for interrogation. Order something in Lady Fengbai's room."

"If you want to find something in the room, you can go directly to it, why bother?" Tang Wuyi said.

"Now everyone is suspicious. I don't want to startle the snake. What if this person still wants to do something?"

Tang Wuyi thought that there was another lady from Beifang who was uneasy, so he adopted Wen Tao's method and acted as his torturer with a straight face to scare the little girl. .”

"Enough is enough." Wen Tao replied with a smile.

An hour later, Tang Wuyi came in stretched, patted his stiff face, and complained: "But I'm exhausted."

Wen Tao was amused when he saw this: "Didn't you always interrogate people?"

"That's not the same. Usually, interrogation is all about asking something, even if you ask all night, you won't be tired. Today, you're acting, and your skin is stiff." Tang Wuyi said, "Did you get everything?"

"I got it, it's all here." Wen Tao pointed out that they were all women's rouge and gouache.

Tang Wuyi smiled and said, "You didn't mean you emptied the dressing tables of the two ladies, did you?"

"No, I just took a little of each."

"Then what are you going to do about it?" Tang Wuyi poked the makeup powder with his hands, with a disgusted expression on his face.

"I need to experiment, it may take one night." Wen Tao said.

"Then you want to stay here all night?" Tang Wuyi asked.

"No, no, I'll lock this place up after I've made arrangements, and I'll just come and check it out tomorrow morning."

While the two were talking, Deputy Fangzhu Jiang came over: "Pavilion Master Tang, I've been looking for you everywhere."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"General Tang has arrived."

Seeing Tang Wuyi's expression froze, Wen Tao said to him in a low voice: "You go, I will go back to Fangfei Pavilion by myself in a while."

Tang Wuyi straightened his clothes and followed Deputy Fangzhu Jiang to go out.Walking to the entrance of Zhongcui hall, I saw a tall young man under 30 years old with his back facing him, wearing a light armored uniform, the pattern on his back was a huge red bird with seven feathers, it was the supreme commander of the Shence Army, General Tang Jingxiao .

"Brother." Tang Wuyi saluted.

Tang Jingxiao turned his head, only to see him with leopard head and eyes around him, calm and majestic.With a sweep of his eyes, Jiang Mei quickly retreated with the maid in the room and closed the door. "Wuyi, what's going on?" Tang Jingxiao asked.

"Brother, three kabukis died. We are investigating, and we will have results soon." Tang Wuyi replied.

"Where is King Qi at the moment?"

"King Qi, Jiangnan Dao's interview envoy, and a few people from Yangzhou Prefecture are all living in the government office for the time being," Tang Wuyi said.

"Who told you to take this case?" Tang Jingxiao asked.

"At that time, there were mixed people in Jinyuan, and the master asked Dongdu Pavilion to take over me..."

"Sloppy!" Tang Jingxiao yelled, "This is not a martial arts forest, why do you have to stretch your hands so long! Even if Dongduge wants to take over, you can let me know in advance."

Tang Wuyi lowered his head: "Brother..."

"You are grown up now, and your wings are hardened. Although this case is just a few kabuki deaths, how can Dongdu Pavilion settle the people involved?" Tang Jingxiao stared at Tang Wuyi, "If there is something wrong with King Qi, How do you clean up your Dongdu Pavilion!"

"Big Brother." Tang Wuyi looked up at Tang Jingxiao and said, "You don't need Big Brother's Shence Army to clean it up. I'll do things by myself. Big deal, there will be no Dongdu Pavilion in Jianghu!"

"Presumptuous!" Tang Jingxiao dropped a teacup, "How much effort was wasted in order to keep the Dongdu Pavilion, and it was you who said it would be abolished!"

Tang Wuyi clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Without Tian Ce, Dongdu Pavilion shouldn't be alive."

"You!" Tang Jingxiao pointed at Tang Wuyi, furious and unable to speak. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Forget it, I know that you are not happy for a day or two, so let's settle the matter here first." The five-day period you set yourself will arrive tomorrow. How sure are you?"

Tang Wuyi thought for a moment, and for some reason, he remembered Wen Tao's face, and felt a sense of peace of mind, and said, "Basically."

"Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow. If you can't break it tomorrow, tell me earlier, and I'll try to give you a day or two." Tang Jingxiao's last two sentences seemed to be the big brother who used to protect Tang Wuyi from the wind and rain.

Tang Wuyi clasped his fists and gave Tang Jingxiao a military salute.
