There is only one Bo family with three books.
In the Bo family, there is only one pair of siblings, and there is only one dead son.
When Bo Ruoyou left Zhao He's house, her footsteps were in a hurry. Hu Changqing saw that something was wrong, and knew that Bo Ruoyou was the daughter of the Bo family, so he followed her with a hesitant expression, "Miss Bo, what about this matter?" …”
Bo Ruoyou stood still in front of the carriage, "Go back to the yamen first, and if Catcher Wu comes back, tell him about this, and I'll go home."
Bo Ruoyou's complexion was pale, her pupils were dark and dull, and she spoke quickly but sharply, with a particularly formidable air. Hu Changqing nodded nervously, but before he could respond, Bo Ruoyou suddenly turned around and got into the carriage.
Uncle Liang was driving extremely fast, the carriage bumped a little while it was speeding, Bo Ruoyou leaned against the cold wall of the carriage, her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
It is said that the child is only four years old, and he is still the young son of a high official family.
They were originally a pair of lost siblings.
The next day the elder sister showed up by herself, but the younger brother did not come back.
Bo Ruoyou took a deep breath, trying to suppress her flustered heartbeat, but the icy cold air rushed in, only bringing a dense tingling pain, her body tensed up, clasped her hands together, pinched red streaks on her fingertips There is no trace.
What Zhao He was talking about was none other than her and her younger brother Bo Lanzhou.
The accident of her younger brother happened on the Lantern Festival in the eighteenth year of Jianhe. This was the only image left in her mind. She had not returned to the capital for many years, and the faces of her deceased parents and younger brother gradually became blurred. , but occasionally wondered what kind of accident happened to his dear brother and died.
She suddenly understood why Cheng Yunzhi didn't allow her to investigate the case.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Cheng's residence. When Bo Ruoyou got off the carriage, her hands and feet were weak. After entering the gate, she went straight to the study to find Cheng Yunzhi. Cheng Yunzhi was drawing up a new prescription for the eldest princess. When he raised his eyes, his face was warm, but When he saw Bo Ruoyou's expression, he knew something was wrong, "What's wrong?"
Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and stood still in front of the book case, "My adoptive father didn't allow me to investigate this case at first, but because this case is very similar to my brother's death many years ago?"
Cheng Yunzhi sat up straight, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why do you ask that?"
With Cheng Yunzhi's answer like this, Bo Ruoyou was very sure that what she expected was right, she frowned tightly, and thought about it carefully in her mind, "So when my brother had an accident, my brother and I disappeared together, and then I came back by myself But my brother never came back, seven or eight days later, only...only my brother's body was found?"
Bo Ruoyou's heart throbbed, and as she asked, she couldn't find any scenes in her mind. Instead, the more she thought about it, the more her heart ached, and her temples also ached. Cheng Yunzhi saw that her complexion was wrong, so he got up and walked Grabbing her wrist, "Don't worry, although this case reminds me of what happened to Lanzhou back then, but the past has long passed..."
Cheng Yunzhi ordered her to sit down, Bo Ruoyou looked at him and said, "No, adoptive father, the death of my younger brother back then was most likely not an accident."
Cheng Yunzhi was about to pour her a cup of warm tea, but when he heard this, his hands stopped, and he looked at Bo Ruoyou, who tensed his back and said, "The yamen has been checking the past files for the past few days. In a similar case, although we did not find the file of my younger brother’s case back then, we found another case, and we went to ask an old clerk from that year, and he remembered his younger brother’s case.”
Cheng Yunzhi understood, "He said that Lanzhou was killed by others?"
Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "He mentioned the suspicious points of the case back then. The river beach where my brother was found was two miles away from the place where he disappeared. There were many dark rocks on the riverbed, and the adoptive father was also a coward. You should know that the body went down the river. It is impossible not to leave traces, but there are only some small wounds on my brother's body, let alone any blood spots on the body, this is wrong."
Cheng Yunzhi put down the teacup heavily, and when he sat down opposite Bo Ruoyou, his figure was a bit bent, his eyes were uncertain, and he looked at Bo Ruoyou with pity, as if he was hesitating.
But Bo Ruoyou asked decisively: "I was young at the time, and I had an illness, so I can't remember many things before the age of five. I only have a vague memory when my younger brother had an accident. I avoided mentioning the death of my younger brother and my father and mother, I always thought it was my adoptive father who was afraid that I would suffer, but in fact, what happened back then was more than that simple, right?"
There was mist in Bo Ruoyou's eyes, and his voice trembled slightly. Cheng Yunzhi couldn't bear it anymore, but he knew that he couldn't hide it any longer. He sighed deeply, "Don't worry, listen carefully to what your foster father has to say."
Bo Ruoyou still stared at Cheng Yunzhi, and Cheng Yunzhi talked about the events of the year in a deep voice, "That year on the Lantern Festival, your father and mother took your siblings to the Luohe River to watch the lantern market. You and your brother It was at that time that you got lost, there were a lot of people at that time, after your siblings got lost, your father and mother immediately called many people to look for them, as long as you don’t leave the market, you will be found, but you disappeared in the end—"
"I didn't know this news until the second day. On the second day, your father and mother reported to the government. Because it was the young son of the Bo family who had an accident, the government was quite neat and sent many government officials to investigate. On that afternoon, you A person was lying on the side of the road in a dirty state, and was found by the servants of the nearby Zhuangzi, and soon the officials found you."
"There was a thunderstorm that night. You were drenched and fell ill as soon as you came back. The high fever lasted for five days. You woke up during the period and just talked nonsense. You seemed sick and frightened. You Mother stayed in the mansion to take care of you, while your father ran around outside the city, after seven days, Lan Zhou's body was found."
"There was an autopsy at that time, and the result of the autopsy was that it accidentally fell into the river. The body was in the water for too long, and many traces left by the murderer were covered up. If any clues are found along the river, the case will have to be closed."
"Because it was declared an accident, the case was not recorded by the government. Your parents were devastated, and you were seriously ill. In the next six months, they held a funeral for Lan Zhou, and then they devoted all their attention to treating you."
Bo Ruoyou tried her best to recall the situation back then, but only some vague fragments flashed by, "How could I be sick for so long?"
Cheng Yunzhi recalled that year, and his eyes couldn't bear it even worse, "You are only a five-year-old child, and you would be scared when you leave your family, let alone lost for a day and a night. It could all happen.”
Bo Ruoyou's fingertips were trembling, "I can't remember what happened that night, nor can I remember why my father and mother were in an accident."
Cheng Yunzhi said: "Your parents were indeed accidental. You were ill for half a year. When your parents were desperate, they began to go to the people to find famous doctors and folk remedies. In the winter of that year, they went to Luozhou to seek medical treatment. When they returned to Beijing, Luochuan Mountain in the north of Luozhou was heavily snowed, and their chariots and horses fell into danger on the mountain and fell down the mountain stream, so they died."
Bo Ruoyou's eyes shrank violently, "I'm going to seek medical treatment for me..."
"They are your biological parents, and they should seek medical treatment for you. Then the accident happened, no one would have thought of it, and it has nothing to do with you." Cheng Yunzhi seemed to know what she would think, and quickly stopped her in a stern voice, "You were sick at the time Extremely serious, your parents have lost your brother, it is absolutely impossible to watch you continue to be sick."
Bo Ruoyou looked at Cheng Yunzhi, "Did I hurt my head after being seriously ill and having a high fever? Why can't I remember that day and night at all? Am I the only one who knows what happened that day and night?"
Cheng Yunzhi hesitated to speak, "It is possible to have a bad memory after a serious illness. Indeed, no one knows what happened that night, but you were only five years old at the time. Even if you were abducted by gangsters together, you couldn't do anything. As far as parents are concerned, it is a blessing for you to come back, or if your siblings are also separated, you have no idea how Lanzhou was in danger."
Bo Ruoyou's heartbeat beat on her eardrum again and again, "Has foster father seen brother's body?"
Cheng Yunzhi nodded, "I've seen it. When I saw it, the government had already made a decision. Lan Zhou was taken back to the mansion and put in a coffin. I was an imperial doctor at that time, and I didn't have any intention of doing an autopsy. I just wanted to express my condolences to your parents Succeed."
"The foster father couldn't cure my illness at that time?"
Cheng Yunzhi shook his head, "At that time, almost all the imperial doctors treated you, including my father."
Bo Ruoyou's heart suddenly surged with sorrow from the very depths, the tip of her nose was sour, and the mixed feeling spread in her chest, she couldn't tell whether it was guilt or powerless self-loathing, it had been a long time, and the five-year-old she was sick Missed the best chance to find out the truth. Thirteen years later, will she still have a chance
Her thoughts were chaotic, and a thread in her mind was tense. At the moment when it was about to break, she looked up at Cheng Yunzhi, "Father, I want to re-investigate my brother's case."
Cheng Yunzhi hesitated for a moment, "It's been thirteen years, and the case was not finalized back then, how can we be sure that Lan Zhou was murdered by someone?"
Bo Ruoyou said firmly: "Because what the old Yacha said, my brother's death is wrong."
In fact, she still had some uneasy intuition in her heart. She felt that something must have happened that night, but she was a co-author, and all she could believe were clues and evidence. Before the calm and determined, "I want to go to the river beach where I found my brother."
The river beach is outside the city, Cheng Yunzhi glanced at the sky and quickly persuaded, "There is no rush to see it right now, don't worry."
Bo Ruoyou clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, feeling that she couldn't wait at this moment. Just as she was hesitating, someone knocked on the door of Cheng Zhai's mansion, and soon Zhou Liang walked in with Hou Yang.
The two of them walked outside the door, "Master, Miss, Catcher Wu sent someone here."
Bo Ruoyou and Cheng Yunzhi came out together, fixed his eyes and saw Hou Yang with bright eyes, Hou Yang said happily when he saw Bo Ruoyou: "County Lord, you have found Li Shen's home, he just killed Wen Wen." Jin's murderer!"
Bo Ruoyou's heart skipped a beat, Hou Yang continued: "The man ran away, and the arrester sent someone to arrest him. His home seems to be the place where the crime happened. The arrester would like to invite you to take a look."
Bo Ruoyou didn't expect Wu Xiang to move so fast. Thinking that Li Shen was most likely the one who murdered her younger brother, she was even a little unrealistically dazed. As long as she could catch the murderer and interrogate her, the truth about whether her younger brother was murdered would be revealed. Why not worry
