"This is Miss Song's wedding dress!"
Yue Ning's voice was surprised, she was also standing very close that day, and she could see very clearly.
Yue Qing glanced at the bright red wedding gown in his hand, and couldn't help feeling a chill, but in front of Qin Wan, it was not easy to throw away the wedding gown, so he could only stalk his neck and say, "How could her wedding gown appear?" it's here?"
Yue Qing finished speaking, but his eyes fell on Qin Wan.
Everyone was looking at the wedding dress in his hand, only Qin Wan, who had already moved to the edge of the flower garden, turned on a lamp with her own hands, and was carefully looking for something in the flower garden with her head down.
However, she was dressed in a skirt, holding the lamp in one hand and the hem of the skirt in the other, making it very inconvenient to walk around.
Suddenly, the lamp in Qin Wan's hand was snatched by one hand—
Qin Wan turned her eyes, facing Shang Yanchi's deep phoenix eyes.
The four eyes met, Yan Chi looked as if the mountain was not moving, Qin Wan pursed his lips and did not say much, holding the skirt and pushing away the rose bushes with one hand, his eyes were like torches...
"Could it be that the soul sent the wedding dress?" After all, Jiang is a woman in the inner house, and she still believes in Buddhism and the ghosts and gods. On top of things, Miss Song died wearing her wedding dress that day, I'm afraid, I'm afraid she is blaming our Hou Mansion..."
"Ma'am, how can there be any gods and ghosts? Didn't you hear what Miss Nine said, most of them are people."
After hearing Yue Qiong's words, Jiang's expression settled down slightly, and he looked at Fu Ling who was terrified, "Girl, tell me, what's going on?"
Fu Ling's eyes were slightly red, and she said in a trembling voice, "Mrs. just left, the young lady talked with the servant for a while, and the servant saw the Miss Song family standing outside in the blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, she was standing outside our window at some point, her wedding dress was perfectly fitted, her hands were folded in front of her body, and she stood gracefully, as if she was a living person, but she, like, was the same as that day in the sedan chair, no... no head..."
As Fu Ling spoke, fear appeared in her eyes again. Jiang Shi and Yue Ning couldn't help but feel a shudder when they thought of the scene she described. Just as they were about to say more, Qin Wan turned around at the corner of the flower garden, "Master Hou, please take a look—"
Yue Qiong hurriedly stepped forward, only to see Qin Wan pointing to the flowerbed in front of him, "That man was very careful, he hardly left any footprints, but Lord Hou saw that the whole rose bushes were withered, and the petals were all facing Scattered in one direction, it must have been brushed by that person in a hurry, and here—”
Qin Wan pointed to the roof tiles on the back wall, "There are two marks on the moss here, as if they have been stepped on."
The rose in the flower garden is at the end of the flowering period, when it blooms most vividly, many flower buds are falling on the flower branches, and it seems that it is about to wither, but looking around, there is no one that has completely withered. Only the few clumps that Qin Wan pointed to were bare, with only a flower heart left, as if it had been torn off by someone, but the petals that fell to the ground were scattered in one direction.
And in front of her is the back wall of the plum garden, which is usually not taken care of every day, so the roof tiles of the entire wall are covered with moss, but there are two places, but there are traces of being trampled.
But everything that happens will leave traces, Qin Wan turned to look at Yan Chi after speaking, "His Royal Highness, may you see how these traces are left?"
Yan Chi didn't expect Qin Wan to ask him, he narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and there was a shimmering light in his pupils, "The wall is not high, and those who know martial arts can just jump up and climb over the wall to enter. Ordinary people who practice martial arts Anything can be done."
Qin Wan turned to look at Yue Qiong, "Master Hou, this matter must be man-made, no matter why this person came here in such a disguise, this matter is still related to Miss Song's case."
After a slight pause, Qin Wan looked at Yue Qing, "Maybe the second young master showed me the wedding dress?"
Yue Qing couldn't be unhappy, he hurried forward and spread out the wedding dress in his hands. He was worried that Qin Wan would be afraid, so he didn't hand it over directly, it was just for Qin Wan to check. Turning his hands up.
Yan Chi's eyes, who were holding the lamp at the side, darkened, and his phoenix eyes slowly narrowed.
Looking through it, I saw that the wedding dress was brand new, with a faint scent of sandalwood, obviously it had not been worn after incense, and after looking again, Qin Wan suddenly saw a faint dark star on the left cuff of the wedding dress. .
The wedding dress is red and luxurious, and the materials are extremely high-grade. Why is there such a flaw on the left cuff
Taking a closer look, Qin Wan was even more surprised to find that there was a half-inch hooked silk thread beside the blemish. Both the blemish and the silk thread were very inconspicuous.
"Ninth Miss, what's the matter?" Yue Qing couldn't help asking as he was the closest.
Qin Wan couldn't figure out where this tiny flaw came from, and looked elsewhere, but couldn't find any other problems, so she shook her head and looked at Yue Qiong, "Dare to ask Lord Hou, what happened after the accident? Where was Miss Jia sent? Where is her wedding dress?"
Yue Qiong stared, "Miss Song was sent to Yizhuang, and the wedding dress is still on her."
The wedding dress is still on Song Rou? Where did this wedding dress come from
Qin Wan lowered her eyes for a moment, and suddenly said, "How many Song family members who are sending off to marry live in the Hou Mansion? I guess, they probably prepared two sets of wedding dresses for Song Rou, and this set was most likely sent along with the cage of!"
The Song family is an aristocrat in the capital, and Song Rou is married far away, so it is not surprising that they prepared two sets of wedding dresses in case of accidents on the road.
Yan Chi saw Qin Wan let go of her wedding dress and took two steps away from Yue Qing before turning her eyes away, and then looked behind the courtyard wall, "Where is behind this?"
Yue Qing hurriedly said, "Behind is the West Garden of the mansion, not far from the mirror lake in the mansion."
As soon as he heard about this place, he knew it was a place where people in the mansion could come and go at will. Qin Wan knew what Yan Chi meant, looked at Yue Qiong for a while and said, "Qin Wan doesn't know what's going on with Miss Song's case, but since the wedding dress is here, here is Most of the matter has something to do with the people in Duke Song's mansion. I heard that all the people who are going to marry live in the mansion. Among them, those who know martial arts are especially suspicious. In addition, Lord Hou can ask if they have prepared a second wedding dress. If they have prepared it seriously, Go see if the wedding dress is still there..."
Yue Qiong lowered his eyes, "Ms. Song's case is still unclear to the Magistrate, but I never expected such a thing to happen in the mansion. I will send a letter to let the Magistrate come to the house immediately. Maybe this matter can be investigated for him." helpful."
Qin Wan also thought so, and Yue Qiong asked again, "Miss Nine must have been frightened just now, what's wrong?"
Qin Wan shook his head hurriedly, and glanced at Fuling not far away, "Fuling was just a little frightened, but Qin Wan is fine, Master Hou doesn't need to worry." After a pause, Qin Wan smiled wryly, "It's just that I don't know why I came to Plum Garden. "
Yue Qiong also had dark eyes, Song Rou's death had nothing to do with Qin Wan, what is this person's intention
Not thinking too much for the time being, Yue Qiong turned around and told Yue Jia, "Immediately send a letter to the magistrate, asking him to come over, and then send someone to search around the mansion to see if there are any suspicious people."
Yue Jia went away in response, and Yue Qiong looked at Qin Wan apologetically, "Ninth Miss was invited to come here because of her mother's illness, but now she has been frightened, I really can't help Miss..."
Qin Wan hurriedly pulled back, "Master Hou is serious." He glanced at Fu Ling, whose eyes were still red, "It's just that Meiyuan may not be able to rest tonight. I wonder if there is another place to live in the mansion?"
Qin Wan was still able to calm down, but Fu Ling was terribly frightened. Qin Wan was worried that she would get sick from the fright, and this plum garden was not safe, so it was best to change the place tonight. As soon as Qin Wan finished speaking, Yue Ning Step over, "Go and live with me!"
Jiang Shi also came over and said, "Ning'er has a warm pavilion to rest in, just in case Guan'er would feel crowded..."
Qin Wan met Shang Yuening's bright eyes, and bent his lips, "Why, then disturb the princess!"
Yue Ning shook her head, "Of course it should."
Yue Qiong was satisfied when she heard the words, and then she ordered Yue Qing with a serious face, "Have someone guard the plum garden, wait for the nine girls to leave, search the yard to see if there are any other abnormalities, take this wedding dress, and wait for the magistrate to wait." Your Excellency, come here."
Yue Qing should be, Yue Qiong looked at Qin Wan and Yan Chi, "It's getting late, His Highness is injured, so it's time for Nine Girls to rest, don't worry, the girl won't be involved in this matter, When the magistrate has a conclusion, he will give the girl an explanation."
After all, it was a homicide case, and it was so horrifying, it would inevitably lead to rumors of gods and ghosts. It is fine to talk about the Anyang Marquis Mansion, but it is not easy for Qin Wan to get involved in this matter.
Qin Wan understood Yue Qiong's kindness and was blessed, "Master Hou is considerate, thank you Master Hou."
The matter was originally that the Anyang Marquis's residence had implicated Qin Wan, Yue Qiong didn't take the word of thanks, and hurriedly told Yue Ning to take Qin Wan back to the courtyard to rest, Qin Wan saluted, and went back to the house with Fu Ling first.
Since he doesn't live here, Qin Wan wants to take away the things he used for the past two days and the gifts from Jiang Shi. Fu Ling is cleaning up the box here, but Qin Wan looks at the back window but his eyes are full of deep thought.
Yue Ning stood at the door waiting for her, seeing her rushing in with such an expression, "What's wrong?"
Qin Wan frowned, raised his jaw and pointed to the rear window, "At that time, Fu Ling and I were standing here to see the person who had no head. I was thinking, how did that person do it..."
While Qin Wan was talking, suddenly, Yue Qing's figure appeared outside the window.
He was directing his servants to search the flower garden behind, and the bright red wedding gown was still held in his hands, maybe it had been held for a long time, and his inner tension dissipated, and he actually imitated Qin Wan in holding the wedding gown Hold it up in front of your eyes and check it out.
Yue Ning thought about it, "Second brother—"
With this shout, Yue Qing subconsciously turned around. When he turned around, the wedding gown in his hand hadn't been put down, barely covering his head and face. Qin Wan's eyes narrowed, "The person here is six feet tall, he's a man!"
After a slight pause, Qin Wan said in a deep voice, "He's still a left-handed man."
