Chapter 548
But now, it is obvious that the third wife was hung on the beam of the second wife's room after her death, so it is possible that the murderer set the blame.

The second lady's maid, named Xiaoxiang, was brought here soon.

It seemed that he hadn't recovered from the horror of discovering the dead body. When he saw the body of the third lady in the house, his face turned pale and he backed up frequently.

Tang Nineteen pulled up the screen to block the corpse, and walked towards Xiaoxiang together with Mr. Fu: "Are you the first to find the third lady's corpse?"

"Yes."

"Tell me about the situation at that time."

Xiaoxiang had a look of lingering fear: "My wife went back to her mother's house yesterday to visit relatives. When she came back in the morning, she met the fourth lady at the door. At the invitation of the fourth lady, she went to drink tea in the fourth lady's room and asked me to take the things back to the room first. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a pair of red embroidered shoes, and then I saw the third lady hanging on the beam."

She raised her finger tremblingly and pointed to the beam above her head, her face was pale and her voice was trembling.

"So, from the beginning to the end, your wife has never returned to this room?"

"Yes."

"Did you call for help afterward?"

"Calling for help, the servants yelled, and soon someone came, and hurriedly got the third lady down. She was already stiff. They said that the third lady was dead, and her hands were so stiff that she couldn't move her." straight."

"When was that?"

"It's about Chen Shi in the morning."

"How do you remember the time so clearly?"

The servant girl hurriedly explained: "Because we arrived at the gate of the mansion at [-] o'clock in the morning, when we got off the carriage, my wife asked the porter what time it was, and it took less than a quarter of an hour for the maidservant to return to the house from the door, so I deduce that it should be [-] o'clock in the morning. Or at the hour of the hour."

At that time, that is, around eight o'clock in the modern morning.

At around eight o'clock, the rigor had spread to the hands. Tang Shijiu had seen just now that all of the transfigurations had appeared rigor, and the corpse spots were pressed with his hands, and the corpse spots did not fade. It can be concluded that the death time of the corpse was within six more than an hour.

Pushing from now on, I was killed in the middle of the night yesterday.

"When did your wife leave Shangguan Mansion and return to her natal family?"

"It was noon yesterday."

"It's none of your business, you go out first."

After sending Xiao Xiang out, Tang Nineteen walked out of the house.

"Master Fu, where is the master of this house?"

Since Tang Nineteen came in, he has not seen a single man in this huge backyard except for the person in charge of criminal justice.

Master Fu said: "Shangguanling has gone to the south of the Yangtze River. He has just been there for three days."

"Why isn't there even a man in this backyard?"

Master Fu naturally noticed it when he came, and he had already asked: "The rules of the Shangguan Mansion, men are not allowed to enter the backyard."

"It seems that he is quite wary of his wives. Mr. Fu, if Shangguan Ling is not here, who is in charge here?"

"Shangguan Ling's first wife, the eldest wife, Mo Hong."

"Okay, tell her that the Criminal Division needs to interrogate people, and ask her to gather everyone, regardless of gender, to come here to see me in a quarter of an hour."

She, Princess Qin, gave the order to step aside all rules.

Soon, there were at least [-] heads in darkness, and the entire backyard was so densely packed that Tang Nineteen had to retreat up the steps.

This group of people also has rules for standing, the master stands on one side, and the slaves stand on the other side. Looking carefully, Shangguan Ling's family is really prosperous. There are many women and children, and the youngest is still in his infancy. When something like a murder case happened, everyone was in a state of panic, women and Taoists were quite cooperative with the government's investigation.
