Mr. Kezaku

Huaishui followed behind them, just wanting to leave quietly alone, so that no matter how embarrassing Master is, he can pretend that he doesn't know.

Zhao Xingduan was silent, he actually wanted to look at a shameless person ashamed?He should have known earlier that this was impossible.

Chu Yuyang put her arms around Zhao Xingduan's waist, hung on his body and ate tofu and licked oil. Although she was a little frightened, it was nothing, and she was blissfully blissful.

They finally bypassed the dog and came in. Zhao Xingduan unceremoniously pulled the man off his back.

Chu Yuyang took advantage enough, pulled her crooked clothes, and said, "Mr. Zhao said this dog has been here?"

Zhao Xingduan nodded and said: "It's the dog raised in Miss Shen's yard. It has been tied there. It is usually used to look after the yard, and it will bark when it sees outsiders. The servants said that the dog will be taken away to feed when eating. Others Time is all tied up there. It was a coincidence that you came last time, and the dog happened to be taken away for feeding."

Chu Yuyang blinked, and asked again: "When Miss Chu disappeared that day, was the dog there?"

Zhao Xingduan said: "I'm a guest at the Chu family, you should find a servant to ask."

Chu Yuyang smiled flatteringly and said, "I thought Mr. Zhao knew everything."

Zhao Xingduan didn't care as much as he did, and just asked a servant.The conclusion is that the dog is indeed there, and has been lying at the gate of the courtyard, but no dog barks loudly.

Chu Yuyang sighed and said: "It seems that my guess is not biased."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xingduan asked curiously.

Chu Yuyang said: "A person who is at the right time and place, and who has everything."

Zhao Xingduan frowned, as if he was thinking about what Chu Yuyang said.

Chu Yuyang said: "The person who kidnapped Miss Shen that day must be an acquaintance, at least he is quite familiar with this dog."

Zhao Xingduan nodded.If it's a stranger, it's impossible to be silent and not disturb people, even the dog at the door.

Chu Yuyang said: "And just now Master Shen and Second Miss Shen went to see the corpse and confirmed that the corpse belongs to Miss Shen."

Zhao Xingduan narrowed his eyes and said, "That means, Miss Shen who made a big fuss in the yamen and Miss Shen who was kidnapped are actually fake."

"There is someone pretending to be Miss Shen." Chu Yuyang said excitedly, "And no one found out, not even Mr. Shen, not even the maids around her. If you want to pretend to be someone so vividly , it must be someone who has deliberately observed Miss Shen, or someone close to Miss Shen who knows her well."

Zhao Xingduan looked at the radiant Chu Yuyang, and felt that this person actually looked pretty good, even a bit attractive.

Chu Yuyang said again: "I think that maid named Ningxi next to Miss Chu is very suspicious."

Zhao Xingduan obviously didn't pay attention to a little maid, and said, "Why?"

Chu Yuyang said: "During Miss Chu's accident, she had time to commit crimes. She has served Miss Shen for ten years. I am afraid that Master Shen doesn't know Miss Shen as well as she does. Also, she saw Miss Shen's body, weeping very sadly."

Zhao Xingduan said: "After ten years with the master, there will always be feelings."

Chu Yuyang said: "What if the master is arrogant, domineering, willful, aggressive and unreasonable, and scolds if he doesn't fight?"

Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "Miss Shen's reputation is so bad?"

Chu Yuyang blinked, and said innocently, "I guessed, it's just a guess."

Zhao Xingduan looked helpless.

Chu Yuyang said: "But Miss Chu is indeed known for being tricky and willful. The neighbors have heard of it. Besides, she must not be very kind to Ningxi."

Zhao Xingduan said: "Go and ask and you will know."

They called a few servants, all of whom were maids in Miss Shen's yard.

The little maids faltered and hesitated, not daring to speak ill of Miss Shen, as if they were afraid.

Seeing the situation, Chu Yuyang had no choice but to talk about it first, so that the little maid could relax a bit.

Chu Yuyang asked: "By the way, is there anything unusual about your young lady recently?"

The little maid shook her head and said: "No. We are all afraid of Missy, so we dare not get too close to Missy. It was Missy's orders, so we did it immediately. Because of the cold weather, Missy had typhoid fever for a few days, She's sick and in a bad mood, so we don't dare to provoke her. Oh yes, during the days of typhoid fever, the eldest lady was not feeling well, lost her appetite, and lost some weight."

Chu Yuyang rolled her eyes and asked her some unimportant questions before slowly getting to the point.

The little maid waited for a long time before saying: "Miss really has a bad temper, she is very hot-tempered and likes to beat and scold us. Sister Ningxi has been whipped several times by Miss, and she has seen blood several times, leaving scars. .”

Chu Yuyang nodded, and said, "That mark on her face near the corner of her eye is a welt mark?"

The little maid nodded and said, "It was horrible at the time, and I almost went blind. But sister Ningxi has a very docile personality. When she was beaten, she always cried silently by herself, and then comforted us, telling us not to make mistakes so that we won't be punished." insulted."

As soon as the little maid said it, she seemed to have a stomach full of complaints, and finally found someone to vent, and she talked endlessly, and then said: "Also, the eldest miss likes her cat very much, and the cat's personality is also like the elder sister's." , only get close to the eldest lady, no one else will touch it, and arrest people when it is touched. Once when sister Ningxi was cleaning the room, she was scratched by the cat. The eldest lady knew about it and beat sister Ningxi instead Meal."

Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and Zhao Xingduan asked him, "What did you find?"

Chu Yuyang said: "The cat was killed, the cat was killed...that's how it is."

Chu Yuyang was so excited that she didn't hear Zhao Xingduan's words at all. Instead, she grabbed Huaishui and said, "Huaishui, what does the wound on that cat look like?"

"Ah?" Huai Shui was taken aback for a moment, feeling that Master's thinking was too jumpy.

Huaishui quickly recalled that it was the first time he had performed an autopsy on the cat, and said, "The cat must have been strangled to death, and there were more than 30 wounds on its body, all of which must have been caused by sharp weapons."

"What kind of sharp weapon?" Chu Yuyang ran into the eldest lady's room after speaking, rummaged in front of the dressing table, and said, "Could it be a hairpin?"

Zhao Xingduan and Huaishui ran in after him, Huaishui shook his head and said, "No, the wound on the hairpin is too small, I think it should be something like a knife, but the wound is slightly smaller."

Chu Yuyang was like a bandit who robbed a house, rummaging through the room and making a mess.He was a little scratching his head, except for the hairpin, he couldn't find any sharp weapon in the girl's boudoir.

Chu Yuyang said, "Knife? How could there be a knife in Miss's room?"

Zhao Xingduan patted him on the shoulder and said, "There."

Chu Yuyang followed his fingers, and was stunned for an instant, and picked up the paper cutter on the table.

Mr. Shen’s family is rich, and although Miss Shen is hot-blooded, she can read, play, play, play, play, play, play, play, play, play, play, and read. There is a long case in the boudoir, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it, and a small paper knife for cutting rice paper.

Huaishui also ran over, and said at a glance, "Yes, yes, it's a small knife like this."

Chu Yuyang pulled out the small paper cutter, then put it back into the sheath, and said, "Huishui, take it back, and check if it's the cat's wound, and if it's caused by this knife."

Huaishui shuddered, nodded immediately, and ran out with a paper knife.

Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "You suspect that Miss Chu killed the cat herself."

Chu Yuyang said: "No, to be precise, it was killed by a counterfeit. The little girl said that the cat was only close to the eldest lady, and no one else was close. Cats are different from people. We use our eyes to distinguish a person. It also adds a lot of subjective color, so many times, we are always deceived. Cats use smells and small habits to identify their owners. The counterfeit may have fooled everyone in the Shen family, but Didn't trick the cat."

Chu Yuyang paused and said, "The cat suddenly stopped getting close to its owner. The impostor was afraid that others would discover her flaws, so he killed the cat. Then, out of hatred for Miss Shen's rightful owner, he stabbed the cat." The cat cost more than 30 dollars to vent her anger. But after killing the cat, she regretted it a little. Miss Shen’s beloved cat died quietly, which is easy to be suspected. So she tried her best to kill the cat and go to the villain to sue the big one first. Making trouble in the yamen, this way can show Miss Shen's personality, remove her suspicions, and solve unnecessary hidden dangers, it's really a smart idea."

Zhao Xingduan said: "This is all your guess."

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "I think the person who killed the cat and pretended to be Miss Shen is her maid Ningxi."

Zhao Xingduan said: "But the counterfeit product was kidnapped, and now Ning Xiduanduan appeared."

Chu Yuyang nodded, and said, "The appearance was too timely, almost exactly, right after we found the body."

Zhao Xingduan was taken aback when he heard what he said, when he came back from outside the city, he went back to Shen's house to rest, and Ningxi also came back around that time.At that time, the official came to inform of the discovery of Miss Shen's body, so the Shen family was very noisy. Ningxi came back before that, and it was only a cup of tea.

Chu Yuyang said: "If the counterfeit is really Ningxi, then I'm afraid the kidnapping is a trick of self-directed and self-performed. It's really good to fake this kind of thing for a short time, but it will inevitably show her feet after a long time. She wants to get away, but He became greedy again and was reluctant to part with the Shen family's money, so he directed and staged the kidnapping incident by himself, and he was able to get away and get a lot of money."

"And..." Chu Yuyang said, "I met Ning Xi just now, and she spoke ill of Second Miss Shen to me."

Zhao Xingduan said, "What did she say?"

Chu Yuyang said: "Ningxi said that she suspected that this matter had something to do with the second lady. The relationship between the second lady and the eldest lady is very bad. The eldest lady is from the main room, and the second lady is a concubine, so the eldest lady looks down on the second lady. Master Shen There is no boy, so I plan to find a husband-in-law for both daughters, and leave the property to the daughter and her husband-in-law in the future. Originally, the two daughters will be divided equally, but the eldest lady is not happy, and Master Shen also feels that he owes his wife, so he plans to Most of them are left to the eldest lady. Because of this matter, the second lady has always held a grudge."

Looking at Zhao Xingduan's expression, he knew that he hadn't finished speaking, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Chu Yuyang nodded, and said: "She also said that the second miss seemed to have someone's life in her hands. She said that the husband of the second miss used to have a sweetheart girl and a marriage contract. But then the second miss fell in love with that man. In the end, the girl who kissed her sweetheart died suddenly, and the murderer was unknown, so the man married into the Shen family. Ning Xi said that it was rumored that the second lady bought the murderer. The little maids said that Ning Xi is a docile person, and she doesn't complain when she is beaten by the eldest lady, so why would she take the initiative to tell an outsider about the second lady's fault? And there is still no evidence, just hearsay. Isn't this strange? She just chews her tongue casually Rooted people?"

"She wants to mislead you." Zhao Xingduan said.
