Sheng Chong and God Investigate the Princess

Chapter 33 Brothers
Zhou Tingting's body was found on the bed in Yingqiuyuan.

Yingqiu Courtyard is the residence of the county prime minister's concubine brother Cheng Yuan, not far from the banquet of the male guests.Many people saw that Zhou Tingting and Cheng Yuan both entered the Yingqiu Theater fifteen minutes ago, but Cheng Yuan hurried out of the yard less than a quarter of an hour later.Immediately after that, the young man went in, and immediately ran out screaming, yelling that the young lady was dead.

The place where Zhou Tingting died - the bed in Yingqiuyuan - is extremely ambiguous.

Yayoi sent Ah Qi to the yamen to call Han Wuzuo, and hurried to Yingqiu Courtyard with Duan Sinan.

Zhou Tingting's body was nearly numb, and was tied horizontally on the bed by a thick straw rope, half of her body was covered by a crimson sheet, and they were all tied tightly.Paired with her dark purple smoky floral dress, blood splattered, her skin was bruised, and there were two large holes dripping with blood on her chest. Her originally beautiful face was hideous and terrifying, giving off a strange and weird feeling.

She frowned, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened wide, as if she was shouting silently.Yayoi only glanced at it, and said to Duan Sinan: "She showed great surprise and fear. The murderer is someone she didn't expect." She stood up straight: "She knows the murderer."

Duan Sinan nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yuan and Cheng Qin, the county magistrate's son, were hastily summoned from the male guests' banquet.When the two heard the scream of the servant, they were prepared. When they saw Zhou Tingting's body, they were shocked.

Yayoi looked at the two of them coldly.

With trembling hands, Cheng Qin rushed to the bed in a few steps and shouted: "Tingting! Tingting!" His eyes were full of anxiety and grief, and he stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Tingting vigorously, but it didn't help.

Cheng Principle's eyes were wide open, and he stood there in disbelief - this was his residence, his bed, where his wife's wife's body lay, and the significance of it was obvious!
He frowned, pointed at the corpse, trembling slightly, and argued loudly: "This is impossible!"

Cheng Qin's eyes were almost shattered, and he turned his head and shouted angrily: "You have been coveting your sister-in-law for many days, but I never thought you would treat her like this! Cheng Yuan! You bastard! Beast!"

"I—!" Before Cheng Yuan could distinguish half a sentence, Cheng Qin suddenly stood up, rushed forward, and rushed towards Cheng Yuan.That way, it was a crazy look to die with him!
Standing by the side, Duan Sinan quickly came to his senses, frowned slightly, leaned forward, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Cheng Qin's waving wrist.It seemed to be effortless, but Cheng Qin couldn't take a step forward and couldn't move.

His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was like waves: "Young Master Cheng, the matter is still unclear, please calm down."

Cheng Qin was still struggling.But being watched quietly by Duan Sinan, he felt a tremendous force pressing on him, and finally gradually lost his hostility, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

Cheng Yuan finally came to his senses and took a few steps back.He waved his hands desperately, looked nervous, stared at Duan Sinan and Yayoi, and argued: "This is not me! Someone framed me!"

Neither Duan Sinan nor Yayoi spoke.There is a depressing atmosphere in the shadow theater.

Yayoi ignored Cheng Yuan, only glanced at the furnishings in the room, and went to the bed to examine Zhou Tingting's body carefully.Her fingertips gently picked up the blood from a wound on Zhou Tingting's chest, which was still warm red.She looked up at Duan Sinan: "She was killed just now."

Duan Sinan slowly let go of Cheng Qin's wrist, raised his eyebrows, "So?"

Yayoi nodded, "Just now she was standing on the attic in the backyard, and all the female family members have seen her. According to the time, she should have gone down from the attic, entered the Yingqiu courtyard, and then was killed by those who entered the courtyard later."

"Has anyone else come in besides Cheng Yuan?" Duan Sinan asked.

"We have to question the entire county magistrate's office." Yayoi crossed his hands, turned to look at the collapsed Cheng Qin, and the flustered Cheng Yuan, "We still have to wait for Han Yu to check before making a conclusion. But , now it seems that after Zhou Tingting left the attic, the only person who has ever interacted with her is Cheng Yuan."

Her eyes shot coldly at Cheng Yuan, who had empty eyes.The latter turned pale with fright, and had already lost the ability to argue.

"Hongjing." Duan Sinan called out, "Send someone to invite Cheng Yuan to the yamen, we have something to ask him."

"Yes."

**
A birthday banquet turned into a bloody massacre.

The county magistrate's mansion was in chaos.The young lady was murdered, the eldest young master was devastated, but the second young master became the most likely murderer. Behind this murder, there seemed to be some unknown secret.

In the Yamen of Fuliang County, Yayoi hugged her shoulders and looked coldly at Cheng Yuan who was crying bitterly in front of him.

"My lord...capture the head...I didn't...how could I..."

"Don't cry." Yayoi frowned in disgust, interrupting his incoherent defense, "Speak clearly."

Cheng Yuan quickly wiped his eyes with his shackled hands, trying to calm himself down: "Yes."

Seeing that he was no longer choked up, Yayoi asked, "Tell me exactly where you went that day."

Cheng Yuan tried hard to recall: "That day... I was a little frustrated, so I went to the backyard to drink two cups alone... Then I went to the Yingqiu Academy to clean up, and went to the male guests' table to socialize... After a while, I ,At once……"

Yayoi reminded, "Did you notice anything wrong when you entered the Shadow Academy?"

"No...no." Cheng Yuan quickly shook his head, "I drank some wine and got a little drunk, so I don't remember clearly."

A sharp look flashed in Yayoi's eyes, "But many people saw that before you, your sister-in-law Zhou Tingting also entered your yard."

"They're slandering you!" Cheng Yuan said excitedly, with a green stalk popping out of his neck, "They're working together to deceive you! When I entered the Shadow Academy, I didn't see anything!"

Yayoi pondered for a moment, then asked again, "Why were you frustrated that day?"

"Yes... yes..." This time, Cheng Yuan did not answer happily.

The eyes of Duan Sinan Taohua, who was on the sidelines, were full of light, and a mocking smile floated on his lips: "Is it because of your sister-in-law?"

Cheng Yuan looked at him in shock, dumbfounded.

Duan Sinan smiled even more, "I've been coveting your sister-in-law for a long time, I'm afraid this matter is not groundless, right?"
