According to Li Yuanfang's instructions, the servants of the villa brought a few charcoal braziers and placed them in the wood house. The cold wood house instantly became warmer, and the ice on the corpse of the deceased Xiao Cui gradually melted!
Di Renjie calmed down, bent down and examined Xiao Cui's body carefully. There were no wounds around her body. It was just that Xiao Cui's eyes were round, and the eyeballs were a little protruding. Di Renjie reached out to help her close her body. In his eyes, he found that it was futile. The dead Xiao Cui was still staring at him. Di Renjie took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and spread it over Xiao Cui's face!
Di Renjie beckoned to the housekeeper Tang Lu and said, "Steward Tang, what does this little Cui girl do in the villa?"
Tang Lu nodded and replied: "My lord, this Xiaocui was originally a maid who served his wife. Later, isn't this the wife who disappeared? They just relax. The villain arranged for them to go to the backyard to help. Mainly Just do some washing up work!"
"Oh, that's the case! I heard that Zhou An found the body? What about the others?" Di Renjie nodded and asked!
Tang Lu looked around and said in his mouth: "Hey, were you here just now? Why are you missing now? Come on, get Zhou An!"
Hearing Tang Lu's words, Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, and Xiao Ying couldn't help but their expressions tightened. Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie. Di Renjie nodded slightly. Li Yuanfang quickly walked out of the wood room and went to find Zhou An with a few servants!
However, things did not look like Di Renjie thought. Zhou An just went back to the room to rest. Seeing someone calling for him, he quickly got off the kang, followed by Li Yuanfang and others back to the chaifang again!
"Zhou An, let me ask you, is it the corpse you found?" Di Renjie asked grimly!
Zhou An nodded and said, "Going back to the elder, yes, the little one picked water this morning. When I started to shake the first bucket of water, it didn’t matter. When I shook the second bucket of water, it felt very heavy. Liang, I can't see what kind of small is in this well. It took a lot of effort to shake the bucket up, but after shaking it up, the little one was frightened, and this little Cui was hung on this bucket!"
"Oh? Xiaocui also works in the backyard. When was the last time you saw her?" Di Renjie asked!
Zhou An bowed and replied, "Going back to the elder, the young one saw it once when they gave them water yesterday morning, and never saw it again!"
Di
Renjie nodded, and immediately said to the butler Tang Lu: "Steward Tang, are all the servants and maids in the village here?"
The butler Tang Lu looked around the crowd and replied: "Back to your lord, there are still some who should be working!"
Di Renjie said: "You Lao Tang butler, call all the people who haven't arrived in the backyard of the village here!"
Butler Tang Lu hurriedly replied: "Yes! Please wait a moment!"
After a while, everyone in the backyard was summoned to the door of the firewood house. From time to time, there were whispers in the crowd. The servants and maids whispered in twos and threes. Suddenly, the firewood door opened with a cry, and the crowd fell silent for an instant!
Di Renjie walked out of the wood house, stood in front of everyone, and asked loudly: "Presumably everyone already knows about the maidservant Xiao Cui. Any of you have seen Xiao Cui yesterday. If you have seen it, please stand by Tang steward. By your side, you can leave if you haven’t seen it. However, I declare in advance that if someone has seen it but does not know about it, then the pavilion will take him to the prison. If it is serious, he will be attacked, so everyone must be truthful. set!"
After Di Renjie finished speaking, he stood on the spot and looked at the crowd in front of him. There was another whisper among the crowd. The housekeeper Tang Lu said in a sullen expression: "What's the matter? Do you still need to discuss if you have seen it? I have seen it before, and I haven't seen it before. I just haven't seen it before, so hurry up! Your lord has already said that if anyone knows about it and doesn't report it, he will be punished severely!"
Butler Tang Lu's words seemed to be more effective than Di Renjie. As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd began to move. Soon eight people stayed behind, and the rest went aside!
Di Renjie called the eight people in front of him and asked, "You all recall carefully, when was the last time you saw Xiao Cui yesterday?"
Among the eight people, four are maids who wash clothes with Xiao Cui, three servants in the house, and one housekeeper who visits the village!
The four maids all said that they washed clothes with Xiaocui yesterday. After dinner, they never saw her again. The servants of the three rooms said that they had met Xiaocui once when they sent dinner, and they never saw each other again. Ever!
Only the housekeeper in charge of patrolling the village hesitated a bit. He seemed to have some worries. Di Renjie saw his strangeness and turned to the housekeeper Tang Lu and said, "Steward Tang, you let them all go away. Right, but remember, from now on, everyone in the village can't leave the villa!"
Tang Lu bowed and said, "Yes! Please rest assured, adults!"
After that, the butler Tang Lu took everyone away from the firewood room, leaving only the housekeeper who was in charge of patrolling the village!
Di Renjie looked at the family in front of him, and asked, "What is your name and what do you do in the village?"
The Ding Shili said: "Back to the adult, the younger one is Yang San, who is in charge of the night patrol in Zhuangzhong!"
Di Renjie nodded slightly and said, "Oh? Watching the night? Then when was the last time you saw Xiao Cui, was it when you were watching the night?"
Yang San shook his head, and replied, "I went back to the adult, not during the night patrol. It was yesterday evening. The little family went back to the house after something happened. It was about Youshi. The little one just came back. It was at the back door of the villa. I met Xiao Cui in the small forest. She was crying alone. The little shadowy heard what she seemed to say. Madam, she was bullied or something. Then the little one walked over to see her. She didn’t say anything and wiped it. I wiped my tears and went back! The little one didn't care much, she was found dead in the morning without expectation!"
Di Renjie's expression became tense and asked: "Did you hear her mention Madam?"
Yang San nodded and said, "Well! The little one can hear the two words very clearly, but because she is far away from the original, and she has been crying, I can't hear the others!"
Under the recommendation, it's really good, it's worthy of being installed by book friends, and Android and iPhone are supported!
Di Renjie nodded and said: "Well, you go back first!"
Yang San gave a salute, turned and walked away, Di Renjie couldn't help falling into contemplation, stroked his long beard lightly, staring into the distance blankly!
Seeing Yang San leaving, Li Yuanfang leaned in and asked, "My lord, could it be said that Xiao Cui's death was related to the disappearance of the owner's wife?"
Di Renjie shook his head slightly, and said, "I can't be sure just by Yang San's words!"
"Elder Ge, I have talked with the female relatives in the village. According to them, the servant girl who had most attached to herself before Mrs. Zhuang's disappearance was this little Cui. It is precisely because of this that Zhuang Zhuang was angry and sent her to this backyard. , The post-self maid became a maid doing laundry and chores!" Xiao Ying whispered beside Di Renjie!
Di Renjie did not speak, twisting the beard in thought, Xiao Ying and Li Yuanfang also quietly looked at Di Renjie who was in deep thought!
Click! Click!
Suddenly there was a sound of dripping water from the firewood room. Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying all looked into the firewood room together, only to see that the head of Xiao Cui's body was dripping blood!
