"Princess, what are you looking at?"
Fu Ling saw Qin Wan holding a book in a daze, so she subconsciously walked over and asked.
Qin Wan suddenly came back to his senses, closed the book and shook his head, "It's nothing."
Fu Ling was a little suspicious, but she didn't dare to ask more questions, but Qin Wan handed the book to Bai Ying for her to take.
Bai Ying is not as curious as Fu Ling, so she will hold it as long as she is asked to, without looking at it too much.
Qin Wan then looked elsewhere. The room was very simple and elegantly furnished, but there were several pieces of gold, silver and jade ornaments, which didn't seem to match the room. Seeing this, Huang Nai stepped forward and said, "These are After the fourth young master came, I bought it myself, and every time I go to Jianzhou City, I always bring a few things I like."
Aside from Nanny Huang, Qin Wan himself guessed that not only the newly added items were all expensive, but also the clothes and accessories he wore were extremely luxurious.
After looking around, Qin Wan had a rough idea of what kind of person Lu Jingcheng was.
This person is not only lustful, but also a person who likes extravagance, and the paintings in the erotic album made Qin Wan have some other associations.
It's just hard to be sure right now.
Qin Wan then asked, "Nurse, Fourth Young Master has been here for more than a month, how many times have you been to Jianzhou City?"
Huang Momo thought for a while and said, "Probably not ten times, but nine times. In the first few days, the fourth young master thought the garden was boring, so he went there almost every day, and sometimes he stayed overnight before returning the next day. A month passed like this. , it's only these few days that I've become a little more peaceful, and the second master and the second lady don't care about it."
Qin Wan nodded, and walked around the room again. The room was well protected, and Lu Jingcheng had no trauma, and there was no blood stain left. Thinking about the missing suit, it shows that the murderer is careful. Such a person, but he missed the traces on the shoes after all.
Qin Guan paused, then went to the window to look at Lu Jingcheng's body.
Lu Jingcheng has been dead for two days and two nights today. Even though the temperature is extremely low, the spots on the corpse are gradually overgrown. Right now, it looks extremely scary. However, Qin Wan is very calm, and the body has no obvious trauma, which means that the two did not fight. , the murderer probably took advantage of his unpreparedness, and the person who made Lu Jingcheng go out to meet in the middle of the night must be someone he knew. What attracted Lu Jingcheng, a big injured man, to go out in the middle of the night? Or is it this cold weather
It is certain that Lu Jingcheng is lustful, and it is very likely that he went out in the middle of the night because of the word "sex".
There was no thorough autopsy this time, but Qin Wan already had an idea in mind.
She looked around again, then put on her cloak and went out the door.
Standing at the door, Qin Wan looked at the courtyard door and fell into deep thought.
The murderer designed such a mechanism that looked like a secret room, and then took away Lu Jingcheng's clothes. What should I do with the clothes at night
The best way is of course to burn it, but Lu Jingcheng's clothes are all excellent silk, and they have a very pungent smell when they are burned. If it was her, it would be the best policy to throw the clothes away where no one was around.
In this huge Bailuzhou, where can the clothes be hidden without being found
Just killed someone, the murderer must be nervous, and will never run around the garden...
Qin Wan turned to look at Nanny Huang, "Grandma, are there any unattended rooms, dry wells, pools, or other places to hide around here?"
When Huang Momo heard this, she immediately said, "There are a lot of unoccupied yards nearby, but they are all taken care of regularly. As for the pool, there is an inner lake made by bringing in the water from Wangyue Lake from a secret passage. We call it the inner lake. Deer Pond is just outside Dongyuan, there are no dry wells, but there are several wells in use in Dongyuan.”
Qin Wan thought for a while, "I wonder if Madam can draw a picture? You just need to indicate the location of the courtyard and several wells and pools."
Nanny Huang naturally nodded repeatedly, and Qin Wan said "hmm" before leading the people back.
The group of them had just left when two figures walked out from the rockery not far from Qingsongyuan. It was Lu Jingxiu and Lu Jingyun.
Lu Jingyun opened her eyes wide, and said in shock, "Fifth brother! Who is that man! Aunt actually lied to us! Why can't we get into Qingsongyuan, but that man can? girl..."
Because they were far away, Lu Jingxiu and the two of them didn't see Qin Wan's face clearly. From a distance, they only felt that she was a young and graceful woman.
Lu Jingxiu narrowed his eyes, "Our aunt is proud and arrogant, even the adults in the yamen don't know how to flatter her, but this girl can freely go in and out of our garden, and she is accompanied by Huang Nai, who treats this person It is also extremely respectful, this person must be extraordinary."
"Then who could this person be? A relative from the eldest house's grandmother?"
Lu Jingyun could only think of Lu Youxin's mother's relatives, otherwise they would not know each other, but Lu Jingxiu shook her head, "It's not that simple, my aunt doesn't even rely on us, let alone a girl younger than us, There must be a purpose for this person to enter Qingsongyuan late at night."
Lu Jingyun frowned, "Why? The fourth brother's body is still in this yard, and this man is not afraid!"
Lu Jingxiu snorted, "This is the weirdest place, even if she wants to pay homage, she also comes during the day, but she doesn't come during the day, but only comes at night, of course she has a guilty conscience, or she has something else to tell her." Do you still remember what the fourth brother said that day?"
Lu Jingyun thought about it for a moment, "The fourth brother seems to say that he bumped into a jerk?"
Lu Jingxiu said "hmm", "It seems that what the fourth brother said is true. If it is really just an ordinary visitor, people who die in the garden must be avoided, and my aunt will not stay anymore. But now this charming guest is not only You are still in the garden, and you are still visiting fourth brother late at night, why do you think this is?"
Lu Jingyun was shocked, "Could it be...she killed the fourth brother?"
Lu Jingxiu didn't nod or shake her head when she heard the words. It's unlikely that a weak woman will kill Lu Jingcheng directly, but Lu Jingcheng's death must have something to do with her. That being the case, I want to figure it out."
Lu Jingyun shrank her neck, "Fifth brother, my aunt will be furious if she finds out."
The corners of Lu Jingxiu's lips pursed slightly, and a bit of apprehension appeared in his eyes, but after a while, it was the doubts in his heart that prevailed.
Lu Jingxiu snorted noncommittally, "If you want others to be unaware, unless you don't do anything about it yourself, my aunt always said that you have to be decent, so I want to see what she's up to this time, if I know she's protecting outsiders and harming Lu's own people , then I don’t agree.”
Lu Jingyun was a little scared, but when he saw what Lu Jingxiu said, he didn't dare to refute, so he said softly, "Then... well... I'll be with Fifth Brother!"
…
Qin Wan went back to Han's Hall and immediately called Bai Feng in.
Bai Feng didn't know what happened to Qin Wan, "What does the princess want to tell the villain?"
Qin Wan nodded and said, "I want you to go to Jianzhou City."
Having said that, Bai Feng and the others were surprised for a while, and Bai Feng subconsciously said, "But the master wants the villain to stay close to protect the princess."
Qin Wan laughed, "What can I do here? Now that something like this has happened in the garden, if it is not resolved, grandma will be in trouble for a day. The cousins and uncles are not vegetarians. If there is trouble, we will not The sooner you figure this out, the better."
There was a murderer living in the garden, even Bai Feng felt creepy thinking about it, and even though Yan Chi gave the order, he couldn't refuse Qin Wan's order.
Bai Feng sighed, "Then... that villain can go alone, and they still have to protect the princess."
Qin Wan smiled and nodded, "Naturally, you alone are enough for this matter."
Bai Feng quietly waited for Qin Wan's order, and Qin Wan said cautiously, "I want you to go to Jianzhou for one thing, to find out where Lu Jingcheng went to Jianzhou City several times, and he went to Jianzhou Zhoucheng is mostly a place for drinking and drinking, but I want to know who he went to those Qinlou and Chu halls for, the more detailed the better."
When Bai Feng heard that this was the case, there was no difficulty, but it was a bit complicated. He immediately said, "That's good, that villain will set off now, and he will definitely be back tomorrow."
Qin Wan originally wanted Bai Feng to leave tomorrow morning, but Bai Feng wanted to go back to Bailuzhou to visit Qin Wan earlier, so naturally he refused.
No way, Bai Feng left Bailuzhou after less than half an hour. Not long after Bai Feng left, Huang Momo arrived. She came with a blueprint, and said a little embarrassedly, "This servant is not good at fine brushwork, this painting is really crude. Please don't dislike the princess."
Qin Wan looked at the picture, there were not only neat patterns on it, but also text marks, which were very clear. She was satisfied at the moment, "Nurse, don't need to be humble. We are not competing in calligraphy and painting right now. It is most appropriate for you to do this!"
After speaking, it looks like the location of the inner lake and the location of the well are all clearly marked on the painting, even the flower garden pavilion in the middle is represented.
Qin Wan looked at it for a while, then pointed to the deer pond and said, "Mother, please send a few people to salvage here in the morning. How many waters are available in these two wells?"
Grandma Huang saw Qin Wan pointing to the two southernmost wells in Dongyuan, and shook her head, "Not many, this place is a bit out of the way, and occasionally laundry people will use it."
Qin Wan nodded to express his understanding, and said, "Since that's the case, send people to salvage one or two of these two wells."
Huang Momo first agreed, but then she was a little puzzled, "Dare to ask the princess, why is this behavior?"
Qin Wan smiled and said, "The fourth young master's set of clothes is missing. I guess the murderer took it away in order to prevent abnormalities. He probably wouldn't take the clothes back, and it was night at that time. The best way is to Throw away the clothes in a place where no one will find them, after much deliberation, these places are very likely, whether they are true or not, you will know when you find them tomorrow, and if you find the clothes, the mother will send them to the Hanyu hall."
Huang Momo suddenly realized, she looked at Qin Wan with reverence, and immediately left respectfully.
After Huang Momo left, Qin Wan took out the two erotic albums again, first flipped through the last few pages and glanced at them, and then thought for a while. After a while, Qin Wan came back to his senses and looked at them casually. Looking at the previous one, she was originally a person with a calm mind, but even so, she still couldn't stand those dirty pictures, and she didn't think about the case at the moment, so she put the books together in the cabinet and went to rest.
Ever since Yan Chi left, Qin Wan didn't sleep well at night, and got up early the next morning, and Huang Nanny got Qin Wan's order, and naturally told Lu Youxin everything when she went back at night, Lu Yuxin was surprised, and told Huang Nanny Mammy acted according to the order, and early the next morning, Mammy Huang took people to the deer pond to salvage.
This salvage movement was not small, and Lu Jingxiu knew it right away. When she got to the edge of the deer pond, she saw Huang Momo busy. What?"
Grandma Huang smiled calmly, "Fifth Young Master, I'm fishing for fish. There are a few white fish in this deer pond."
Lu Jingxiu grinned, "Oh? Do you want my help? I'm a good fisherman."
Grandma Huang waved her hands again and again, "No need, this is the work of servants, after fish it out, send it to Lanxiangyuan, the fifth young master can just taste the delicacy of the lake."
Lu Jingxiu answered with a smile on his face, and left without saying a word.
Although he left, he didn't go far. Not long after, Lu Jingyun came over and said, "Fifth brother, Huang Momo is not only fishing in the deer pond, but also in two wells to the south. I don't know what it is..."
Lu Jingxiu sneered, "There is no white fish in the well, and Nanny Huang is treating me like a child."
The two brothers stood hidden in the bamboo forest not far from the deer pond, not afraid of the severe cold weather. Not long after, a young male servant suddenly exclaimed, "I got it!"
Lu Jingxiu's heart skipped a beat, only to see Nanny Huang rushing to the man, and then, the man with a bunch of clothes hanging on the pole pulled out of the lake with great effort, and Nanny Huang was overjoyed, "Quick! come out-"
Seeing this, several male servants used long poles to pull together, and after a short while, the bundle of clothes was pulled to the shore. Not afraid of the cold water of the lake, Madam Huang stepped forward to hold the dripping clothes in person, and ordered everyone to disperse. Only then did he take the two trusted servants to the west.
Lu Jingyun murmured, "Fifth brother, are you going to the Hanyu Pavilion again?"
Lu Jingxiu frowned as she watched Nanny Huang leave, and then looked back in the direction of Luchi, showing a puzzled expression for a moment.
"It's all right to go to Qingsongyuan in the middle of the night. What are you doing? Whose clothes are you taking out?"
Lu Jingyun couldn't answer, he was even more puzzled than Lu Jingxiu, seeing Huang Nanny's back disappear, Lu Jingxiu suddenly said, "It seems that things are more complicated than we thought, could it be that fourth brother not only offended this charming guest, but also took What happened to this jerk?"
After a pause, Lu Jingxiu said, "I have to find a way to meet this delicate guest!"
