Qin Wan was silent, and suddenly asked, "Auntie, where are the pebbles in the garden?"
Suddenly asked, Lu You thought for a while and said, "Almost every flower garden has them."
Qin Wan tilted his head and thought for a while, "However, the snow in the flower garden is so thick that even if a person falls on the ground, it may not leave marks on his body. Are there any small stones, but the snow cover is very thin , or without snow?"
Lu Youxin looked at Nanny Huang, and Nanny Huang said, "I vaguely remember that the flower beds near the plum garden are covered with corridors and pavilions, and the ground there is paved with stones, and there is usually not much snow—"
Qin Wan nodded and explained, "The old wounds on his shoulder and back were all left by Bai Feng yesterday, while the new wounds were left when he died. The new wounds are narrow and deep, and they are completely different from the old wounds. It's different, this kind of wound is usually caused by sharp and hard objects, I suspect it's something like a stone."
The eyes of Deng and Huang's two mothers were slightly bright, and they looked at Qin Wan with reverence.
Qin Wan glanced outside and said, "Tomorrow I will find a chance to visit the Plum Garden, but the past is a bit eye-catching."
Although the night was dark and most people were asleep, the Plum Garden was a place to enjoy the scenery. It would be extremely strange to go there so late and be seen by others.
Lu Youxin nodded, "Then I'll take you back right away."
After the autopsy is over, no autopsy is possible, so that's all the news I've got right now.
Qin Wan looked in the direction of the door again, and walked over.
The door bolt was broken on the ground, but there were not many traces in the rest of the place. Qin Wan stood at the door and looked around, and suddenly looked at the window lattice closest to the door. This window was closed tightly, and there was no obvious hole in the window paper, but Qin Wan Wan was not careless. She stood in front of the window and leaned over to look for a long time. Suddenly, she found a small hole in the lower left corner that was extremely difficult to find. The small hole was only the size of a pinhead. Can't find it at all.
Qin Wan stood there thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he turned around and said, "Auntie, let's go."
Lu Youxin didn't know what Qin Wan was looking at. Seeing that Qin Wan had taken off the gloves and put on the cloak again, he led her outside. As soon as he went out, the cold outside was so bitter that Qin Wan was caught by the cold wind. As soon as he blew, he even trembled slightly, and Qin Wan asked as he walked, "Lu Jingcheng ranks fourth in the family? If my aunt really wants to choose an heir one day, will she choose him?"
Lu Youxin couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, but shook his head and said, "Yes, he is ranked fourth, but even if I choose, I won't choose him."
Seeing that Qin Wan was looking at him, and that everyone in front of him was trustworthy, Lu Youxin said, "Jingcheng is the only child of the second room, and the second brother and his wife love him so much. Next, Jing Yun of the fourth room and Jing He of the fifth room are better."
Qin Wan pondered for a moment, "Then aunt really wants to choose the heir among several nephews?"
Lu Youxin shook his head, "I don't have any plans yet, but the Patriarch of the Lu family will always change. I want to take a good look at it while I'm in good health these few years. If these few don't make it, other children of the clan can do it too. In short, it is to choose a person who can take on the big responsibility."
Thinking of Lu Youxin's half-life unmarried life, Qin Wan couldn't help feeling pity in her heart, but at this time, she was a junior, so naturally she couldn't ask Lu Youxin why she didn't marry.
Qin Wan nodded, "Now the second room, the third room, the fourth room and the fifth room are here. Needless to say, the second room, who does my aunt think is possible for the other rooms? Auntie doesn't need to determine who is the murderer, just talk about how the families get along on weekdays. , Lu Jingcheng must have been murdered."
Lu Youxin looked solemn, and then said, "The Lu family has five families in total, counting the head of the family. There are countless side branches in the clan, so let's not talk about the head of the family. They have to behave well even if they don't respect the surface. The second room is the second room. The second room has a lot of family business in its hands. It can be said that it is very confident, but this family business belongs to the public. The third room and the fourth room are in the same situation. Although the eldest son Jingxiu is not as rambunctious as Jingcheng, he is impulsive and reckless. He likes to make friends, whether they are nobles or people from the world, he doesn't mind. In addition to practicing bow and horse kung fu, he spends his days making friends and making friends. Eating wine, in my eyes, is not very accomplished, but Jingyun, Jingyun is not as impulsive as Jingxiu, and he still likes to read, but he is not very smart, and he grew up with Jingxiu since childhood, everything If you listen to the meditation, you will not grow much, no, if you haven’t returned tonight, you will be led by the meditation to have a drink.”
After a pause, Lu Youxin talked about Wufang, "Among them, Wufang was originally a concubine. Over the years, his descendants have been very thin, and there have not been many powerful ones. In Wuge's generation, only Jing With a child, the fifth brother is weak and not good at fighting, and the fifth sister-in-law is also a soft-tempered person from a low family. Their family has been bullied miserably in the past few years, and they will be kicked out of the old house, but the fifth brother Zhai has a kind heart, and he often helps other children who are more distressed in the family. I can see it well, so I gave them a mining operation five years ago. Although the fifth brother has few means, he is diligent. This kind of accident is not his responsibility, otherwise, I will not protect him with more than 20 lives. Two principals in the mine were arrested, and two ran away, so how did the accident happen? The investigation is unclear. As for Qinghe, he is as weak as his father. In the early years, their fifth room was not in good condition. He studied late, and his studies slowed down. Fortunately, he is hardworking, and now he can't achieve high or low. Because his father is ill, most of the time he is there to attend to the sick."
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, Lu Jingcheng went out in the middle of the night, probably not to meet some elders, although the possibility of a night meeting with some brothers is not very likely, but there are no other women in this yard, and if it is to secretly meet female slaves, There's no need to sneak out in the middle of the night, just call me to my yard, wouldn't it be fine
Based on such speculation, it is most likely to meet the brothers.
Although there was no autopsy, Lu Jingcheng was probably suffocated to death, and there were not many signs of struggle on his body. Even if he was injured the day before yesterday, ordinary people would not be so quick to kill Lu Jingcheng.
Among his three younger brothers, only Lu Jingxiu is good at martial arts.
Qin Wan frowned and said, "What is the relationship between the third room and the second room? Enmity or business cooperation can be fine."
Lu Youxin felt that Qin Wan was suspicious of Lu Jingxiu when he heard it, and hurriedly said, "There should be no such thing—"
As soon as Lu Youxin finished speaking, Huang Momo on the side suddenly said, "Miss, it's not that there is nothing, but I don't know what kind of hatred the princess is talking about?"
Qin Wan said conveniently, "It doesn't matter whether it's serious or small, just tell me and listen."
Huang Momo then said, "Your servant knows one thing. Last year, in the ancestral house, the fourth young master fell in love with a girl next to the fifth young master. That girl was the youngest daughter of the fifth young master and a nanny. That's right, the fourth young master probably underestimated the little girl, the fifth young master knocked on the door when he found out, at that time he punched the fourth young master in the face and left a scar, and the young lady went to Huzhou to discuss business, so I didn't know."
Qin Wan frowned, "After that, the relationship between the two of them should be very bad, right?"
Grandma Huang nodded, "That's right, Fourth Young Master and Fifth Young Master usually look at each other better than the other when they see each other. If it is not necessary, they will never say a word. Fourth Young Master is quite jealous of Fifth Young Master, but Fifth Young Master is good at punching and kicking." Well, he didn't dare to do anything, he only dared to make trouble in private, as for what method he used, the servant is not very clear."
Qin Wan responded softly, and then asked, "What about the fourth and fifth rooms? Do they have anything to do with the fourth young master?"
Lu Youxin sighed, "Naturally not. The fourth room and the third room have a good relationship, and they rely on the third room quite a lot. They are also very respectful to the second room on weekdays, and the fifth room is even more so. In the past, Jing Cheng often bullied the two It's better when you're young."
Huang Momo also said, "That's right, Fifth Young Master helped Sixth Young Master out too much, and almost beat Fourth Young Master."
Listening to this, Qin Wan felt more and more that Lu Jingxiu and Lu Jingcheng had the greatest enmity, and asked, "When did the two who left the house leave?"
Huang Momo was in charge of carefully interrogating the servants, and hurriedly said, "The servant asked the servants of Lanxiangyuan, and said that the two young masters left before dawn. There are many friends in Zhoucheng, and this time I am going to meet friends!"
Leaving so early... It is not impossible if he left the mansion just after killing someone.
Qin Wan said casually, "I don't know when they will come back tomorrow. When they come back, my aunt will call them to the hall to inquire. When the time comes, please let me know in advance. I want to see the two of them being killed by my aunt through the screen." Response when asked."
Lu Youxin smiled when he heard the words, "I will definitely be back after noon tomorrow, and I will ask someone to invite you over then."
He said this, but Lu Youxin felt that she was the expert among the experts when it came to observing words and expressions and judging people. After all, Qin Wan was still too young, even if he was smart enough to push the case, judging people was not that simple. Thinking this way, Lu Youxin didn't say much, and sent Qin Wan to Han's Hall before leaving.
When Qin Wan entered the room, he washed his hands first, washed his hands several times with fragrant soap, and then went to bed. It was late at this moment, and the howling of the wind and snow outside became louder. Qin Wan closed his eyes, but he was not sleepy. Compared with the previous cases, the case is not very complicated, but it is a pity that the autopsy cannot be performed. In addition, her current status is inconvenient, so it is not easy to investigate by herself, so there is another obstacle. In addition, the advantage is that the suspect Limited, and there is already the first suspect right now.
Lu Jingxiu... has a fierce and impulsive personality, and is fond of martial arts. If he had an argument with Lu Jingcheng and then killed him in a rage, it would be very easy.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan suddenly frowned—
No, she was thinking wrong... I don't know why Lu Jingcheng ran out in the middle of the night, but it is absolutely impossible to meet Lu Jingxiu at night. After all, the two are the biggest enemies, and she still remembers the locations of the courtyards that Lu Youxin said today, where Lu Jingxiu lived There is quite a distance between Lu Jingcheng's courtyard and Qingsongyuan's, and it is very unlikely that the two will bump into each other. After all, at that point, Lu Jingxiu should still be asleep in preparation for getting up early the next day.
Qin Wan frowned, the first suspect had been allayed by her now, unless other evidence could be found, it didn't make sense.
As for the other two, Jingyun and Jinghe, she hasn't noticed the clue yet.
If it wasn't for these people, it would be impossible for the servants in the garden to kill people...
Qin Wan's consciousness was chaotic and uncertain, so he fell into a deep sleep amidst such random thoughts.
Early the next morning, Qin Wan got up and went to the Plum Garden. The Plum Garden is a place to enjoy the scenery by the lake. Because he met Lu Jingcheng the day before yesterday, Qin Wan was very careful when he went out this time, and let Bai Feng go first. Meiyuan took a look before leading the people there.
When they arrived at the plum garden, they saw that the plum garden was exactly as what Huang Nai said, there were mostly verandas and pavilions, and there was only a thin layer of snow on the gravel path.
Qin Wan walked on the cross road. The soft boots she was wearing were a bit painful, but at this moment, the slight pain stimulated her to recall the scars on Lu Jingcheng's body. She looked at the shape of the stone on the ground. While echoing, after about a stick of incense, it suddenly stopped beside a clump of bamboo groves.
This is the middle of the plum grove. There is a clump of green bamboo next to an octagonal pavilion. The surrounding area of the pavilion and the top of the bamboo are covered with snow. Only the place near the bamboo grove is slightly thinner. Qin Wan walked to the bamboo grove and saw it at a glance. A few raised stones, if you look carefully, there seems to be dark red traces on the stones.
