Chapter 265: Tang Lu's clues

Views:

There is no clue here, Di Renjie raised his hand and said to Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying: "Let's go, let's go to the place where Xiaocui lives!"

The three came to Xiaocui’s room. Although Xiaocui was demoted to a maidservant, she did not live in the backyard like the other maidservants. Because she used to be a close maid of the owner’s wife Haitang, Xiaocui lived not far from Mingyue Tower. In a house far away!

Di Renjie looked around the room and found nothing unusual. The furnishings in the room were the same as usual, and there were no signs of fighting in the room!

Xiao Ying watched for a long time and said, "Old Ge, there doesn't seem to be anything here? It seems that Xiao Cui was killed before he returned to the room?"

Di Renjie stroked his long beard lightly, smiled slightly, and said, "Leader Xiao, you must pay attention to details when investigating the scene! Look at that!"

Xiao Ying looked in the direction of Di Renjie's fingers and found that Di Renjie was pointing at Xiao Cui's bed!

Xiao Ying walked to the bed, observed carefully for a long time, and asked incomprehensibly: "Elder Ge, there is nothing wrong with this?"

Di Renjie smiled again and said: "Sometimes when we observe something, we always pay attention to the details, but often ignore the most superficial things! You see, only half of the curtain of this bed was collected, and the other half was confiscated. Such a big family like Xilin Villa will never happen! This kind of big family has very strict requirements for the subordinates. After getting up, the curtain must be put away. Therefore, this Xiaocui had been lying down last night. Sleep, and this half of the curtain should have been hung up by the murderer!"

Li Yuanfang interjected somewhat puzzledly and asked: "My lord, maybe it was the half that Xiaocui got out of bed last night and hung up by herself?"

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "It's impossible. You think, if Xiao Cui got out of bed last night, she would only need to lift the curtain. Why would she hang it? Of course, this is not the point. See what's missing in this **?"

"What's missing?" Xiao Ying checked again, full of doubts. Suddenly, Xiao Ying's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "Old Ge, this is missing a quilt!"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Yeah! That's right, this is the most abnormal place. Think about it. In such a cold season, doesn't this Xiaocui need a quilt to sleep at night? But the quilt of the sex is missing. What does this mean?"

Li Yuanfang suddenly said:

"My lord, I see, Xiao Cui was injured in the back of his head. The reason why no blood was left in the process of moving the corpse was because the murderer wrapped her tightly in Xiao Cui's quilt, so the blood did not drip to the ground! "

Di Renjie nodded approvingly, and said, "Well! Yuanfang's analysis is very reasonable! If Yuanfang's just inference is valid, then the scene of the murder should be not far from this room, and it may even be in this room!"

With that said, Di Renjie was careful on Xiaocui's bed and checked inside and out, but found nothing!

Di Renjie said slowly: "It seems that Xiaocui was not here when he was hit by the murderer! Otherwise, it is impossible to see a drop of blood! Go, take a look in the yard!"

The three of them checked around in the courtyard and found nothing. At this time, the sky was getting darker, and the three of them had to give up the survey!

Just after dinner, Di Renjie was sitting in the room, recalling all the information collected during the day in his mind, when suddenly he heard someone knock on the door!

"My lord, my lord!" Someone outside the door whispered twice, the voice of the butler Tang Lu!

Di Renjie got up and opened the door, "Oh, it's Steward Tang, come in and talk!"

Di Renjie swiftly let Tang Lu into the room and closed the door, "Steward Tang is visiting at night, what's the matter?"

Tang Lu bowed and said, "My lord, Tang Lu thinks that something may be related to the death of his maid, Xiaocui, so I came to report it to the lord!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Di Renjie asked with a tight expression!

The housekeeper Tang Lu said: "My lord, it's like this. Today, a maidservant told the villain that when Xiao Cui was washing clothes with other maidservants, she had quarreled with a maid named Chunhong. Hong later told other maids more than once that she must make this little Cui look good! Therefore, the villain speculated that Xiao Cui's death might be related to this Chunhong!"

Di Renjie twisted his beard and pondered for a moment, and said: "Steward Tang, this Xiaocui was indeed thrown into the corpse well after being hit by someone, but Chunhong is a female stream, is it impossible to complete it?"

Butler Tang Lu said: "The adults don’t know. This Chunhong has a friend. It’s the guy from the Jinyuan Rice Store in Shanyin County called Gou Er. The rice in our villa is sent by this Gou Er. If you come and go, you’ll have a good day with the maid Chun Hong. Go on! The villain asked about the room. Last night, this Gou Er just came to deliver rice.

! Chun Hong may not be able to kill and throw corpses, but this Gou Er has the strength? Isn't it easy for him to kill a little Cui and then throw the corpse? "

When Di Renjie heard the words of the butler Tang Lu, he couldn't help being surprised. He thought for a while and said, "Well, butler Tang, the information you provided is very important! So, don't disturb this Chunhong first. Check this second. In this way, Steward Tang, please go to this Jinyuan rice shop and ask the shopkeeper, when did Gou Er go back after delivering the rice yesterday? When the results are obtained, let me know immediately, and we will discuss the next move! "

"Yes! The adults let it go, the villain will do it!" Tang Lu, the butler, replied and exited Di Renjie's room!

As soon as Tang Lu left, Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying came to Di Renjie's room!

Li Yuanfang asked, "My lord, I saw Housekeeper Tang go out of your room just now. Why is he looking for you so late?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Steward Tang just provided me with a situation. He said that there was a maid, Chunhong, who had a dispute with Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui fought Chun Hong, Chun Hong threatened revenge, and Chun Hong had a close friend. Gou Er who gave rice to the villa, this Gou Er just came to the villa to send rice yesterday!"

Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying were both surprised. Li Yuanfang said, "So, it's very possible that Chunhong instigated Gou Er to kill Xiao Cui and then threw the corpse into the well?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "From what we currently know, it is indeed possible. The maid Chunhong and this Gou Er both have motivation and time to commit the crime. The most important point is that these two people have a lot to do with the villa. We all know the situation inside, how to avoid the night patrol and not be found, it is even easier!"

Xiao Ying opened the mouth and said: "Ge Lao, if that's the case, let's catch this Chunhong now, isn't it clear for her to be tried?"

Di Renjie shook his head slowly and said, "No, it's not the time yet. I have asked Steward Tang to go to the Jinyuan Rice Shop to investigate. If this Gou Er was not in the Rice Shop last night, then Chunhong and him conspired to murder the servant girl Xiao Cui. The possibility is greatly enhanced, and the two will be taken down at that time, and it will not be too late for a retrial!"

In the middle of the night, there was a wind in the villa, Di Renjie suddenly woke up from his sleep, sat up, the moonlight reflected on the window, the withered shadows of the branches cast on the window paper, and swayed with the wind. Di Renjie had no sleep at this time, sitting* *, lost in thought...
