Mystery Case

Chu Jiang drove to Ji's house.

The place was closed the night of the incident, and now it still retains the appearance when the incident occurred, with the word "囍" pasted on the windows and red lanterns hanging under the eaves, making it look extremely lonely.

Chu Jiang drove into the new house, the red candle had been burned out, leaving only a puddle of candle tears.The dazzling red on the ground is the blood shed by the bride that night.Chu Jiang drove to the side of the marriage bed, only to see the quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks and twin lotuses neatly laid out.He thought for a while, turned around the bed, recalling Ji Tingchu's words.

"I lifted the hipa, and after everyone else went out, I asked her to open the window for me because I drank too much wine and felt hot..."

Chu Jiangkai walked slowly to the window.The window is not closed, standing by the window and looking around, the garden is full of spring.The paint on the window lattice seems to be freshly painted, and it is still a little sticky to the touch. It seems that the Ji family's marriage is really rushed.

Chu Jiang opened and closed his eyes, recalling every detail carefully, and the scene of the night when the crime happened appeared in his mind like a revolving lantern.

How did the murderer do it?

It seemed that something was missing, but Chu Jiangkai couldn't catch it.It's like scooping up a handful of water with your hands. No matter how careful you are, it will leak out in a short while. You can only get the water if you use a container to hold it. What Chu Jiangkai lacks now is this container.

"grown ups!"

When Zhang Xiaoyi's voice came, Chu Jiang opened his eyes and saw him jumping in the door, yelling loudly, "I found some brats for you!"

Chu Jiang opened it and saw that there were three or five and a half children, about eleven or twelve years old, and they didn't feel afraid when they came. They crowded around the door with wide eyes and looked around curiously.Chu Jiangkai was afraid that they would come in and destroy the traces of the incident, so he hurried out, and the children "hula" backed up a few steps at the same time, and looked up at Master Chu with the same curiosity and admiration.

Master Chu squinted his eyes and smiled, showing a harmless appearance to humans and animals. He asked, "On the night of Ji Tingchu's wedding, you all followed me to have a bridal chamber, didn't you?"

Several people discussed in small voices, and then one of the slightly older children said, "Yes."

"Is there anyone else coming?"

Several people started discussing again, this time the discussion was longer, accompanied by a few controversies from time to time, the slightly older child frowned and folded his hands behind his back, like a little adult, and said to any of them, "Don't make noise, what do you say?" That's fine, Master Qingtian won't wrong us!"

Hearing the phrase "Master Qingtian", Mr. Chu is really comfortable from head to toe. Although he usually listens to some people's compliments, this is said by an immature child without any flattery. Very awe, it is hard to make people unhappy.

"That's right." Chu Jiang laughed more kindly, "Just tell the truth, don't be afraid."

"Zhu Zi also came together that night, but he didn't come today. I couldn't find anyone when I went to his house. His father said that he went out this morning, and he might have gone to the wild." Among them said a child.

"The pillar was the first to enter this room that night." The slightly older child said and pointed to the new house.

Chu Jiangkai pondered for a moment, "Can you tell me what happened that night from beginning to end?"

They began to talk at one another.

On the night of Ji Tingchu's wedding, when they saw Ji Tingchu drunkenly walking towards the new house, they secretly followed him.On the way, I ran into Aunt Li Mei, and was scolded by her.Aunt Li Mei and Ji Tingchu entered the new house together. They were blocked outside the door, and they could only faintly hear Aunt Li Mei saying some auspicious words loudly inside. After a while, Aunt Li Mei and other people in the house came out , leaving only newcomers in it.After a while, I saw the window of the new house next to me open, and then I heard Ji Tingchu's exclamation in the room, and several people hurriedly ran to the window to have a look, leaving behind a pillar to crack the door. Suddenly he was pushed away, the pillar fell in, and soon he ran out with a scream, and plunged into the arms of one of them. Seeing the reaction of the pillar, several people asked him what was wrong, but the pillar did not speak, just kept Trembling, the bold dared to go in and look at it at this time, only to say that there seemed to be a dead person inside.

That is to say, the child Zhuzi was the first person to see the scene after Ji Tingchu.

"Did you hear any sound after the matchmaker left?" Chu Jiangkai asked about a detail that had been overlooked.

"Well, I vaguely heard Brother Ting Chu say a few words to the bride, he spoke too softly, I couldn't hear what he was talking about."

These words are somewhat different from what Ji Tingchu said.

"When the bride opened the window, was there anyone else in the yard besides you?" Chu Jiang thought happily, thinking that the window was not far from the door. If anyone came to this yard, they would definitely be seen. But the answer he got was a firm no.

"No, it's just us."

In any case, these children did not look like murderers.There is only one person who is really suspected.
