Looking at the strange smell of wine, meat, and powder in the red building, Qin Youran sniffed her nose. The smell was a bit unpleasant. She blocked it with her fingers, and followed Cui Chao and the others to the second floor.
Halfway down the stairs, he smelled a bloody aura, Qin Youran frowned slightly, and glanced at Yun Yue beside him.
The second floor is also very quiet. There are private rooms and private rooms. The doors and windows are closed, but there are people standing behind the doors and windows. They are quietly watching the movement outside. Everyone has curiosity, not to mention that they are still out under their noses. Such a big deal.
Everyone stopped in front of a room, the strong bloody smell was even heavier, Qin Youran's heart jumped, what kind of hurt it must be, how much blood she shed to have such a great smell.
Yunyue also found it strange. He and Qin Youran looked at Cui Chao and Liu Zhao calmly. Obviously they hadn't noticed this.
It's normal to say that they are all civil officials, and there are not many bloody scenes. At most, it is the scene of the murder, the trial of the case, and the like, and the others are basically invisible.
But Yunyue is different from Qin Youran. One is a person who has been on the battlefield and the other is a person who has worked as a special agent. He is particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.
There are two government officials guarding the door of the room, and the window is open. Qin Youran looked in from the window and just saw the fourteenth prince look out. His skin color was originally white. In this situation, it looks whiter in the light of the light. , There is no blood.
His eyes were a bit hollow, and he looked scared. As soon as Qin Youran's gaze met, he was visibly startled, his eyes quickly focused, and his lips moved. Qin Youran immediately shook his head and motioned him not to speak.
The fourteenth prince’s nose quickly stirred, his hands clenched into fists, and there was hope in his heart.
Yun Yue didn't squint, did not look at him, but Yu Mao in the corner of his eye saw the moment when the fourteenth prince and Qin Youran's gazes collided, and there was a sudden warmth in his heart, and his gratitude to Qin Youran was indescribable.
The fourteenth prince was also standing next to two government officials. When he saw Cui Chao and the others arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Cui Chao nodded and asked, "Have you ever moved on the scene?"
The yavier said, "My lord, never."
Liu Zhao cried again at this time, and kept wiping
Tears, it's true feelings, which makes people move. In any case, it is always sad for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.
Qin Youran calmed down her emotions, let herself jump out of the relationship with these people, and stood in the middle. She carefully looked at the scene and imagined the situation at that time.
There were originally three people in the house. The fourteenth prince was sitting there, a young woman was behind a tea table not far away, with a guqin beside her, while the dead Liu Qingfang was lying on the ground, facing the fourteenth prince. , With his back to the woman.
What surprised Qin Youran was that Liu Qing didn't have much blood under her body. There was only a small patch under her body, soaking the clothes, but this bit of flow... How could there be such a big smell
She turned her head to look at Yunyue, and Yunyue also looked at her. The two people looked at each other, and both saw the doubts in each other's heart. Yunyue also thought this was very strange.
I dare not say anything else. According to Qin Youran's experience, she should not be wrong about this matter, but she was wrong.
She walked slowly to Liu Qingfang's corpse and leaned over to look carefully. Liu Zhao stopped crying and said, "What are you doing?"
Qin Youran stared at the corpse and said calmly: "What am I doing, isn't Master Liu watching me here? Don't worry, just look carefully. I'm under your nose and can't move anything."
While she was talking, she glanced around and saw a short dagger thrown aside. She took out a Jinpa from her sleeve, went over to pick up the dagger, and said to the fourteenth prince: "His Royal Highness, this Is it yours?"
The fourteenth prince shook his head, "No, this is from Wanghonglou. It is used to cut fruits."
As he said, he reached out and pointed, and sure enough, there were two fruit plates on the table not far away. One of the fruit had been cut into small pieces, but the fruit knife was missing.
Qin Youran took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. The knife was made in general, and the edge of the knife was also average. Obviously it was the kind of general knife that can be bought in a blacksmith's shop. People like the Fourteenth Prince would not use this kind of ordinary knife. Of things.
However, there is a faint blood stain on this, but the amount is not large, she asked again: "So, have you used this knife?"
The fourteenth prince pursed his lips and groaned.
"... Yes, I was cutting fruit at the time, and Liu Qingfang suddenly rushed at me. I was shocked, and instinctively raised my hand to block, just..."
"His Royal Highness!" Liu Zhao said in an aura: "You have to tell the truth, how could Fang'er suddenly pounce on you, why is it so for no reason? What can you use to stop it, you must use a knife? You don't know this. Can things kill people?"
The fourteenth prince said: "At that time, the situation was indeed...I can't explain it clearly, the music was ringing, and I didn't hear what Liu Qingfang said. As soon as I looked up, I saw him leaping towards him with a hideous face, which seemed to strangle me. I was surprised and didn't think much about it, who knows..."
Liu Zhao kept saying that it was impossible, so he almost said that the fourteenth prince was nonsense. Don’t talk about him. Even Cui Chao and others felt that the fourteenth prince’s words didn’t seem to be true, like Made up.
But Qin Youran felt that this was true.
Yunyue said solemnly, "Master Cui, where did you go? Let him take a look, why did Young Master Liu die?"
Liu Zhao immediately said, "Is this still working? Of course he died with a knife! Such a simple thing..."
Yunyue turned his head and looked at him and said, "Master Liu, you have the pain of losing a child. This king doesn't want to say anything and is very considerate, but it doesn't mean that you can dictate here. You can rest assured, if it is true. This is what the fourteenth brother did. This king will never show your favor. When the time comes, I will meet with your father and explain things clearly. However, before we find out, what should be observed and what should be left You have to go through the procedures one by one, and please stay calm."
This is the first time Yunyue has said so much since he arrived here. He now also says "Be calm and not irritable." Cui Chao also said before and was scolded by Liu Zhao. Now Yunyue said that Liu Zhao did not. What to say more, it's not because Yunyue is the prince, but because he is reasonable, making it impossible to refute.
Upon seeing this, Master Cui hurriedly let Hao Zuo in. Hao Zuo, a nearly fifty-year-old man with a cloth bag slung on his body, bowed to everyone as soon as he came in.
Qin Youran stepped forward to Wu Zuo, and said respectfully: "Old man, do you have any extra sleeves, lend me one, and I'll help you."
