"ghost?"
Shen Chongming looked at him thoughtfully.
Just as He Si was about to speak, He Hongyi stopped him with a cough.
"You are just talking nonsense, don't mind, adults." He Si smiled along with him: "I just think that Lian Xiang will not be harmed by others."
"Why not?"
"She is the young lady's personal maid. Although the young lady is locked up in the woodshed, as long as the government does not interrogate her for a day, she will still be the young lady in our house. As the saying goes, even if you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. This is the moment. No one will give her a hard time. Besides suicide, I can’t think of anything else.”
"It's normal that you can't think of it. After all, the crime scene was completely covered up by you." Shen Chongming walked to Lianxiang: "I have observed the maids in the mansion, the colors and styles of the clothes of the first-class maids and the second-class maids. The fabrics are also different. Lianxiang is the young lady’s personal maid, what rank do you think she is?”
He Si subconsciously grabbed his clothes.
"The young lady's personal maid and confidant is at least a first-class maid. Her inner shirt is made of the same material as her rank, but her outer shirt is that of a second-class maid, and it is an old model from previous years. You can lie and say that she has been in prison since It was found in my room, but if it were you, would you be so arrogant?"
He Si remained silent.
"It rained last night, but the rain stopped at the third watch. Lianxiang's clothes were dry, indicating that she was killed after the third watch. It is not surprising that there are mud spots on the trouser legs. What is strange is that there are also mud spots on her clothes. "
Shen Chongming pointed to Lianxiang's clothes.
"You can explain it as running, but for a person who is determined to die, what is worth running for? Since she committed suicide, why is there mud on her heels? She strangled her neck when she committed suicide, so why are there wounds on her hands and between the nails? There are bloody skin flakes, and the clothes are torn?"
"The adults asked me how I knew. Maybe she had a dispute with the young lady before she was imprisoned. The clothes were torn by the young lady, and the injury was caused when she was entangled with the young lady. In this mansion Everyone knows that the young lady is crazy, and even the young master cannot recognize her."
"Then how do you explain the footprints on the well platform?" Shen Chongming pointed to the well platform: "The fallen leaves on the ground are only missing on the well platform under the locust tree. It is the old locust tree that has accompanied the well platform day and night. Feelings, someone still brushed off all the fallen leaves on the well platform in a hurry to eliminate the evidence."
The government officials slowly came up and surrounded He. Cold sweat rolled down from He Si's forehead. He was shaking like chaff, but he forced himself to calm down and said, "Even if this Lianxiang was killed, you can't doubt that it was me, He Si!"
"Who is it if it's not you?" Shen Chongming's face darkened: "Why are you so bold? Why don't you tell the truth?"
He Si's face turned pale, his lips turned purple, and he suddenly knelt down in front of He Hongyi.
"Master, you have to make the decision for me. How can I kill Lianxiang when I have no enmity against her? Besides, even if I want to kill someone, I have to have the time, right?"
He Hongyi said: "Butler He Si really doesn't have time to kill people! After Tian'er's accident, I sent him to the government office to report the case. When he came back, he stayed with me in Dongnuang Pavilion. My son died tragically and could not be buried in time. As a father, I can only stay by his side and guard him.”
"You don't have to guard the person you kill to kill." Zhou Yu'an, dressed as Chunhong, walked out of the crowd of maids.
"Lianxiang's tongue sticks out, her eyes turn white, and goosebumps appear between her chin and lips. These are the symptoms of suicide by hanging. The clothes are disheveled because the deceased struggled during his life, and the nails are white because the deceased used to use them when struggling. Hands tightly grasping the belt."
Seeing He Si's eyes shining brightly and wanting to defend himself, Zhou Yu'an made a gesture of silence.
"The toes of a person who hangs himself will naturally fall to the ground, but if the deceased is elevated by other objects, the heels will naturally fall to the ground. Only the toes of Lian Xiang fall to the ground naturally, which means that when she hanged, her feet were not elevated. Lian Xiang will not be able to raise herself. Flying up, so Lian Xiang, who seemed to have committed suicide, was actually killed."
"This girl is right." Wu Zuo came forward and said, "The belt is straight rather than curved. The body spots of the deceased are purple-red, and there is only a strangulation mark on the neck, which was left by the belt. This proves that the deceased is not He was hanged after being killed, but he hanged himself.”
"Then whether she committed suicide or was killed, you have confused me." Li Zhun scratched his head: "How come each of the cases in the He family is more strange than the last."
"It was a homicide disguised as suicide." Zhou Yu'an concluded: "She was forcibly brought to the dry well, stunned by the murderer and hung on a tree. She didn't want to die, but she couldn't survive because the murderer didn't know how to survive. I didn’t want her to live.”
"Then according to what the girl said, who is the murderer who killed Lianxiang?" Li Zhun asked curiously.
Just when Zhou Yu'an was about to speak, Shen Chongming interrupted with a sentence.
"Why does the girl know so much about hanging?"
"Have you never eaten pork and seen pigs running?" Zhou Yu'an avoided Shen Chongming's eyes: "Slave Chunhong, I grew up in Chunfeng Building. Girls often commit suicide in the building. If you see it more, you will naturally understand. ”
"Chunfeng Tower?" Shen Chongming looked at her: "Did you grow up in Chunfeng Tower?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Chunfeng Tower and ask Magu." Zhou Yu said, "This slave was redeemed from the Chunfeng Tower by the young master. She was originally to be the young master's girl. When the young lady saw that I was quick with my hands and feet, she Ask the young master for me."
"Are you one of the witnesses that Mr. He said?"
"This servant is just the young lady's maid." Zhou Yu'an tugged on his clothes: "Here, the rough servant maid, in the words of this young master, is a third-class maid. When the young lady and the young master had a dispute, the servant was not here. .”
"Where are you no longer?"
"Of course I'm resting in the room." Zhou Yu'an took half a step back: "If you have any doubts, young master, you can go and check. This slave is in He's house and won't go anywhere."
"Master Shen, this Chunhong is the maid in my house. Weren't we just talking about Lianxiang?" He Hongyi said anxiously: "This Lianxiang is irrelevant. Just catch whoever you think is the murderer." .My son died tragically. You should take the murderer to the government office. He will be tried today and sentenced tomorrow. I can also let my son rest in peace."
"We will definitely investigate the murder of Master He, but this Lianxiang is not an insignificant person." Li Zhun stroked his beard: "The lives of the maids are also lives, and they are all the people under my rule. Master Shen, what do you think? ?”
"There is a close relationship between Lian Xiang's death and Master He's murder! Didn't you smell that smell?" Shen Chongming looked around at everyone: "That smell was on Lian Xiang, and on Master He, and that smell was on Master He when Master He was killed There are also some in the wing room.”
He Hongyi sniffed hard, but did not smell the smell Shen Chongming mentioned. On the other hand, Zuo Zuo on the side hesitantly said two words - Long Li!
