Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

The second day is the last day of the five-day period.In order to save time, Tang Wuyi and Wen Tao acted separately. Wen Tao went to Baihualou to see the results of the experiment he arranged yesterday, while Tang Wuyi wanted to ask someone for questioning. Deputy Fangzhu Jiang, seeing her expression, Tang Wuyi felt bad.

"Pavilion Master Tang." Jiang Mei said.

"What happened to Miss Beifang?" Tang Wuyi asked.

"Miss Furong is gone!"

"What's going on, didn't you send additional people to watch it?"

"According to Rong Niang, Lady Furong had been staying in her room all the time, but this morning she suddenly said that she wanted to go out to get some air, and she didn't let anyone follow her. As a result, she hasn't come back yet!" Jiang Mei was completely at a loss.

"Not good!" Tang Wuyi said, "Quickly search the entire Jin Garden, and try to search places where no one usually goes!"

Jiang Mei quickly ordered to go down.Tang Wuyi paced around the spot for a few steps, already thinking about the case, only Wen Tao's identity as the murderer was missing.So he detoured to Baihualou to meet Wen Tao first.

Wen Tao was taken aback when he saw him coming, and said, "Are you asking so soon?"

"No." Tang Wuyi said solemnly, "Miss Furong is missing!"

Wen Tao frowned and said, "There are more bad luck than good luck."

"That's right, she walked out of the Spring Pavilion by herself," Tang Wuyi said.

"No wonder." Wen Tao sighed, "Tang Yue, look here." Wen Tao showed Tang Wuyi the results of his experiment and explained a little.

"This!..." Tang Wuyi was shocked when he heard this, "It's actually like this."

"That's right, the second half of this case can be said to have come to light." Wen Tao said calmly, "Although I don't know the reason for the first half, I already know the method. Tang Yue, you go and inform your elder brother, and I will inform you." Master Chufang, when you find Miss Beifang, call everyone over here, and close the case here."

"it is good."

A quarter of an hour later, the body of Mrs. Fu Rong in Beifang was also found. She was stabbed to death with a knife in the chest in a remote corner of Jin Garden.

So far, all the four big oiran ladies in the southeast and northwest of Yunshangfang have died, and their bodies have been placed in Baihualou one by one.

Tang Jingxiao and Chu Fangzhu got the news and called all the guests who were feasting in Zhongcui Hall that day and related Kabuki in Jin Garden to Baihualou.

The Baihua Building was filled with people one after another.Although the corpses of the four oiran ladies have been covered with white cloth, all the people present have witnessed the peerless demeanor of the four ladies. Now the four of them have passed away here, thinking of the prosperity of the Yiju day In the grand scene, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.Especially King Qi, Mrs. Suxin and Mrs. Furong have been favored by him. Although he lingered in the flowers, the women he loved died in front of him one by one, no matter what, it would not be easy.

At this moment Tang Jingxiao was standing among the crowd, seeing that everyone was present, he said to Tang Wuyi: "Wuyi, you can start now."

Tang Wuyi nodded.

He looked around the crowd, and said loudly: "Everyone, four oiran ladies died in this case. They were also the top kabuki ladies in Yunshangfang. From the perspective of time, the first to die was Danfeng from Xifang The white lady, who died in the flower boat, sank into the lake and was salvaged; the second one was the lady Cuiyun from Dongfang, who died in her room and was strangled to death by pipa strings; Miss Suxin from Beifang Square was also in her own room, but this time it was a room locked from the inside, and she was hanged in it; the last one was Miss Furong from Beifang who died this morning, in a remote corner of Jinyuan , was stabbed to death in the chest."

"These four ladies died in different ways. Even in the beginning, when only the Xifang lady and the Dongfang lady were killed, we couldn't be sure if it was the same person."

"Then the four ladies were killed by one person?" Qi Wang asked.

"You can say that." Tang Wuyi's words were a little vague, and everyone was puzzled.He continued, "The reason why I didn't categorically say 'yes' is because in the third case, the case of Lady Suxin, the murderer has accomplices."

"Wuyi, how do you say that?" Tang Jingxiao asked.

"We all know that in the third case, Miss Suxin died in her own room which was locked from the inside. Because of the strange methods, there were rumors at that time that Lady Diewu's ghost claimed her life."

"It's the ghosts who are killing their lives." "Yes, yes, four ladies are dead now." The Kabuki players in Jinyuan were noisy.

"Master Wen Tao, please tell me the real cause of Madam Suxin's death first." Tang Wuyi signaled Wen Tao.

Wen Tao nodded and said: "Everyone, I checked the lungs of Miss Suxin, she was drowned."

"Drown? How did she get drowned? Didn't she come back after sending off Queen Qi that day?" Master Chu wondered.

King Qi also echoed, "That's right, that day at the gate of Jinyuan where Lady Suxin sent me to."

"Your Highness, I would like to ask, how long did it take for Lady Suxin to send you off that day?" Wen Tao asked politely.

"It's about the same as usual, less than a quarter of an hour."

"However, Xia Ge's maid said that it took an hour for Suxin to come back that day." Wen Tao looked at Xia Ge's maids, and they all nodded in agreement.

"What's going on here? Could it be that Lady Suxin wandered around the garden for an hour?" King Qi asked.

"She walked alone for a while, but was soon pushed into the lake and drowned." Wen Tao said.

"But...the lady came back later that night." Xia Ge's maid boldly said.

"It's very simple. The person who came back is not Miss Suxin, but the murderer. She is about the same size as Mrs. Suxin, and she is wearing a crab shell green dress that is common in Yunshangfang. Some of you have said that the lady came back and was blown by the wind and coughed." A few times, it should be that the murderer was afraid of revealing his secrets and did it on purpose." Wen Tao said.

"No, what about the real Suxin lady? Was it in the water all the time? Why did it hang in her own room later? This corpse is definitely Suxin lady." Fangzhu Chu said.

Wen Tao said: "This corpse is indeed Mrs. Suxin. It was later, probably in the middle of the night, that it was transferred to the room. It is absolutely impossible for the murderer to do it alone, so she has an accomplice, and this accomplice helped her create a secret room .”

Wen Tao asked Master Chu: "Master Chu, I have something to ask."

"Please say."

"When you and Lady Furong found the body of Lady Suxin that day, did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes."

"Did you see with your own eyes that the person hanging on it is Miss Suxin?" Wen Tao asked.

"At that time, she was the one hanging on the beam." Master Chu said.

"No, Master Chu, that person is not Miss Suxin." Wen Tao's words caused a commotion.
