Mr. Kezaku

seek.

Then they knew so little about this woman that they had no way of judging who she was.

Jiang Liuwu said again: "Lord Chu, there is one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Chu Yuyang said.

Jiang Liuwu said: "The body of the third son Zhuo has been found."

"Corpse?" Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "...found it?"

Jiang Liu nodded five times.

Chu Yuyang immediately asked, "Where did you find it?"

Yesterday Chu Yuyang searched for the body of Third Young Master Zhuo for a long time, and almost removed all the tiles of the Zhuo family, but he couldn't find it at all.Zhao Xingduan's inadvertent words made Chu Yuyang feel that the third son of Zhuo might not be dead, and if he couldn't find the body, he might still be alive.

The Zhuo family is very big and there are many servants. Although they have asked each of them one by one, is it possible that among so many servants, there is a person who is pretended by the third son of Zhuo?If this is the case, they are actually ignoring something very important.

Then when Chu Yuyang wanted to continue the investigation, Jiang Liuwu told him that the body of the third son Zhuo had been found.

Jiang Liuwu said, "It's in the back garden."

"What?" Chu Yuyang asked in surprise, "To be more specific, where is the back garden?"

He searched the back garden several times, how could he hide the body of Third Young Master Zhuo?

Jiang Liuwu said: "By the pond in the back garden."

"Impossible." Chu Yuyang said firmly.He was squatting there yesterday, so there was no way that there was a dead body not far from him.

Geng Zhi said: "The corpse appeared suddenly. After midnight last night, the night watchman suddenly saw a fire in the back garden, and when he rushed over, he saw a fire by the pond. There were many trees over there, and it was connected to the backyard. , The fire was quite big. A group of people got up to fight the fire in the middle of the night. When the fire was put out, they found a dead body, all charred. They thought someone had accidentally been burned to death. But they found no head. There are few people. After a closer look, I found that it was Master Zhuo San."

Chu Yuyang said: "The burned body is beyond recognition, how can it be the third young master Zhuo?"

Geng Zhi said: "The servants of Zhuo's mansion said that the shroud worn by Master Zhuo San had several patterns inlaid with gold. Although the body was burnt yesterday and the clothes were gone, the unburnt pieces were found in the wreckage. gold."

From Chu Yuyang's point of view, this could not prove that the corpse was the third young master Zhuo.But everyone in the Zhuo family was terrified, thinking that it was the third young master Zhuo, and it was the third young master Zhuo who crawled out of the coffin, still wearing the clothes lying in the coffin.

In the middle of the night, Zhuo's house was brightly lit, and the servants and maids were very tired after fighting the fire. Holding up the lanterns, they saw the gold ornaments on the charred corpse.A person suddenly recognized him, and couldn't help but let out a cry, followed by panicked voices one after another.

Some people say that Mr. Zhuo San was weak and sick and could not go out of the house often. The pond in the back garden was his favorite place.Almost all the servants and maids in the mansion have seen Third Young Master Zhuo sitting by the pond alone, lost in thought.

And now, they found the body of Third Young Master Zhuo here, a charred black body with a completely unrecognizable face, all of them were terrified to death.

Zhuo's mansion began to spread wildly, that the third young master Zhuo crawled out of the coffin, killed Master Zhuo, and then climbed into the back garden in a big black sky, enjoying the scenery by the pond, and the rest of his wish had been fulfilled.

Hearing what Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi said, Chu Yuyang immediately went out of the palace to Zhuo's house, and Zhao Xingduan naturally followed him.

When they arrived at the Zhuo family, they saw that everyone in the Zhuo family was not very energetic. They looked worried and frightened.

There were cries in the mourning hall, and the body of Master Zhuo San was carried into the coffin.It turned out that the coffin should have belonged to Third Young Master Zhuo, but for some reason, it was Master Zhuo who opened it.Master Zhuo's body was taken to Dali Temple for further autopsy, so the coffin was empty again, and the person lying in it at this moment was indeed the third son Zhuo.

The coffin was covered with a lid, but there were no seals, and the mourning hall was full of weeping.

Chu Yuyang walked in, took a quick glance, and saw the old lady of the Zhuo family, the mother of the third son Zhuo, and several servants and maidservants.

Those people cried very sadly, especially Young Master Zhuo San's mother, who almost passed out from crying.

Chu Yuyang hurriedly walked to the coffin, reaching out to open the coffin.Zhao Xingduan saw him and helped push the lid of the coffin away.

A charred body lay in it, it was really hard to make out.As soon as the coffin was opened, the corpse immediately exuded a burning smell, as if it could immediately fill the entire mourning hall.

"Madam! Madam!"

The little maid cried and called madam, when Chu Yuyang turned her head, she saw that the third son's mother seemed to be crying too hard, her eyes rolled white, and she passed out.

The mourning hall was in a mess, and the servants and maids hurriedly carried the third son's mother away.

Knowing that they were here to investigate the case, the old lady stood up tremblingly, let the servant girl support her, and left slowly.

Chu Yuyang stared at the corpse and said, "The corpse won't catch fire by itself, someone must have deliberately set the corpse on fire."

Zhao Xingduan said: "What's the purpose of deliberately setting fire and missing the corpse? Could it be that this corpse is not Mr. Zhuo San at all, but just replaced by a random person. The person who set the fire didn't want us to know the true face of the corpse?"

Chu Yuyang said: "It is indeed very possible to steal the beam and switch the post. But I think there is another possibility."

"What?" Zhao Xingduan asked.

Chu Yuyang said, "Cover up the time of death."

Zhao Xingduan frowned.

Chu Yuyang said: "It stands to reason that the third son has been dead for a few days. Although the weather is relatively cold now, it is impossible for the body to be well preserved for so many days. It should have a relatively strong smell. But you Smell it carefully, this corpse seems to have no such smell except for the smell of burnt. Although the corpse is burnt, judging from the appearance, his internal organs must not have been burned, so only the burnt The taste is unreasonable."

Zhao Xingduan really didn't have as much dedication as Chu Yuyang, when Chu Yuyang asked him to smell it carefully...

Zhao Xingduan: "..."

Chu Yuyang said: "So, I think, if this corpse is the third son himself, then he cannot have died several days ago. If it is not the third son himself, let alone. The specific situation still needs to be determined." Call Wu Zuo over and let him examine the autopsy carefully."

Zhao Xingduan agreed that this kind of thing should be left to Zuo Zuo.

Chu Yuyang said: "There is another very important question."

Zhao Xingduan said, "What?"

Chu Yuyang said: "I think Mr. Zhuo's mother is a bit strange."

"What's so strange?" Zhao Xingduan was puzzled.

Chu Yuyang originally thought that the mother of the third son of Zhuo was not that kind to the third son.Because when they were questioning yesterday, although the third son's mother looked haggard and sad, she was a little too calm.

Chu Yuyang didn't think much of it at the time, it's very common for mother and child to have a bad relationship.But today, it seems that the relationship between Zhuo Sangongzi's mother and Sangongzi is very good.At least Chu Yuyang felt that the way the third son's mother passed out from crying just now could not be faked, it should be heartbroken.

Chu Yuyang said: "This makes me feel very strange. Think about it, the third son has been dead for a long time. Before the body was placed in the coffin, the third son's mother was not very sad, but she was crying so sad just now. Zhuo San It is indeed pitiful that the young master's body has been destroyed like this, but I still find it very strange."

Chu Yuyang felt that the third son's mother might be hiding something.She seemed to know more things, and her attitude was very different, as if it wasn't her son who died before, but it was her son who died now.

Chu Yuyang said: "I'm going to ask the third son's mother again."

Zhao Xingduan also felt a little strange, so he went there with Chu Yuyang.

The third son's mother just woke up, lying on the bed, staring at the top of the bed with dull eyes.

Zhao Xingduan and Chu Yuyang came over, but the servants did not dare to stop them, after all Zhao Xingduan is the emperor, and everyone saw that he was wearing the dragon robe yesterday.

The third son's mother sat up after hearing what the maid said, then got dressed and went outside to meet them.

The third son's mother already has white hair on her head, and she looks a little old.Especially after crying for a while just now, without makeup, some look old.Compared with those beautiful concubines in Mr. Zhuo's house, she is indeed greatly paled.

But this woman was also beautiful and charming at the beginning, but people will always grow old.

The third son's mother knelt down to salute, and Zhao Xingduan asked her to sit up.

Chu Yuyang said: "Madam, I want to ask about the third son..."

As soon as Chu Yuyang said something, the expression on the third son's mother's face was a little shaken, as if remembering something sad, tears were streaming down her face, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

The servant girl stood by and tried to persuade her, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and the two of them were close to crying.

Seeing her appearance, Chu Yuyang also felt a little sad. I am afraid that the relationship between the two mother and son is really good.

"I'm sorry... oh, I'm... so sad, I can't control it..." The third son's mother finally opened her mouth intermittently, and said, "Master Chu, I also have something to say to you... please listen first After the concubine has finished speaking, there may be something Master Chu wants to know."

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Madam, please tell me."

The third son's mother sent all the servant girls out, and said: "Master Chu, I want to accuse you, and I lied before."

Chu Yuyang didn't speak, for fear of interrupting the woman.

The third son's mother was emotionally unstable and spoke intermittently.

She told Chu Yuyang that she had lied before.

Just before last night, Mr. Zhuo San did not die at all.

The woman said that the death of Mr. Zhuo San was nothing more than a lie, a hoax.And as the third son's mother, she helped him to deceive other people.

Master Zhuo treated their mother and son very badly, and the third son was weak and sick. However, after Master Zhuo disliked them, he didn't even give them money for medical treatment.Master Zhuo was generous with his concubines, but he turned a blind eye to the third son who was dying of illness.

The third son is too weak to earn money by himself, and he doesn't have much time to leave the house.They cut down on food and clothing to barely see a doctor.

Some time ago, the third son's body was getting better, and the third son wanted to take his mother to leave Zhuo's house.Doing a small business like this, maybe life is much better than now.

However, before this matter was written off, someone went to Mr. Zhuo and spoke ill of them.Master Zhuo knew, how could he let them leave.When outsiders heard about it, they should say that he was mean to his own son, how could it be nice?

The third son and his mother had no choice but someone later gave the third son an idea.The man told the third son that he could leave Zhuo's house by feigning death, and then no one would notice.

At that time, they had no choice but to make such a decision in a moment of desperation.After the third son faked his death, he became his mother's servant, and planned to leave that night.It's easy for his mother to get away, and it's not a big deal for Mr. Zhuo to have a concubine.

The third son's coffin was taken care of by his mother's servant, pretending to move people in, and then put the coffin lid on. In fact, even the nails were pretended to be nailed on. After placing it in the mourning hall, it was an empty coffin.

But who would have thought that there would be a sudden change, I don't know what Master Zhuo committed, a lot of guards suddenly came that day, they surrounded the whole mansion, and no one was allowed to enter.In this way, the third son Zhuo couldn't leave at all, so he could only continue to be his mother's servant.

The third son's mother really didn't know why there were nails in the coffin, and why there was Lord Zhuo's body when it was opened.She was also very surprised when she heard about it, but this matter was related to the third son, so she dared not say anything.

The third son's mother broke down in tears and said: "I didn't expect that my son was really dead. He was fine yesterday. He was alive last night. I suddenly found him missing in the middle of the night. Later, I heard that the back garden There was a fire, and then...then his body was found!"

Chu Yuyang frowned, and said, "No, didn't the servant say that the third son's body was wearing a shroud? According to Madam, it is impossible for the third son to wear a shroud, and he should always be wearing the servant's clothes."

"I don't know..." The third son's mother shook her head and said, "I don't know what's going on. Before he disappeared, he was indeed wearing the clothes of a servant. He is my son. Even if he is burned to ashes, I will I also recognize him, I can't admit it wrong. His height, his body is so thin..."

The third son's mother cried again.

Although the third son was so burned that he couldn't see his face at all, he could indeed see that his body was very thin, which should be the result of years of frailty and illness.

The third son's mother said: "Master Chu, I want to ask you to help me find the murderer who killed my son. Although I don't know what is going on, I have thought about it carefully. Once again, I feel that there is one person who is very strange, and I am afraid it is the murderer who killed my son."

Chu Yuyang asked, "Who is it?"

The third son's mother said, "That's the one who advised my son."

It is indeed possible for the person who proposed to the third son to feign death to escape.That person may be planning a conspiracy, and the third son is the beginning of this conspiracy.It is still unclear whether the death of the third son is related to Master Zhuo's death.

Chu Yuyang asked: "Madam, do you know who that person is?"

The third son's mother shook her head and said, "I don't know, my son didn't tell me, and I didn't bother to ask."

Chu Yuyang was silent for a while, and then said: "Then madam, I have one more question to ask."

The night before they found Master Zhuo's body, the third son's mother had been in the mourning hall.According to the clues they knew, Master Zhuo should have been sealed in the coffin that night.If someone entered or exited the mourning hall that night, the third son's mother should have known.

The third son's mother said: "Actually... we are not always here. Because there is no one in the coffin, so we just put on a show. In the middle of the night, I went back to my room to rest, and waited for the sky to dawn. Then I went back to the mourning hall. Maybe someone entered the mourning hall, but we were not there at the time, so we didn’t see it.”

When Chu Yuyang heard this, she was a little discouraged.He thought that the third son's mother would know some useful clues, but this clue was broken again.

At that time, there was no one in the mourning hall for a long time, and the murderer took Mr. Zhuo there to seal it up, so there was indeed enough time to commit the crime.

After Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan asked all the questions, they came out from the third son's mother.Everyone in the Zhuo family was in a hurry, and from time to time someone could be heard whispering about the third son's corpse.

Someone said: "It's definitely the third son who turned into a ghost to take revenge!"
