The herbal medicine of peasant doctors and women fills the garden

Chapter 79 Grandma Liu (2)
Everyone in the Liu residence followed Zhuo Yun to the mourning hall, Zhuo Yun looked at the coffins of the two houses in the mourning hall, first knelt down in front of the coffins and worshiped, and said in his mouth: "Master Liu, Mrs. Liu, I have offended you. After standing up, Fang said to Xu Shaoqing again, "Shaoqing, come and open the coffin."

When Xu Shaoqing saw Zhuo Yun looking towards him, he felt that there was nothing good going on, just look at it, sure enough!Hmph, sure enough, in Brother Zhuo's heart, that stinky boy Jiang Rong is more valued, otherwise, why would Jiang Rong be asked to do all those prestige errands, and only these unlucky jobs will remember him.

In short, Xu Shaoqing was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. With so many people watching, he had to be obedient.

"Yes." Xu Shaoqing drooped his head and walked to the coffin in a few steps. He stared at the two coffins for a long time with a pair of shining eyes, and then stretched out his hand and pushed the coffin away with all his strength.

The first to push away was Mrs. Liu's coffin. After Xu Shaoqing pushed the coffin away, two servants of the Liu family walked in.Liu Xiangsheng was instructed by the servants of the Liu Mansion, and the two came to help Xu Shaoqing lift Madam Liu's body and put it on a flat table.

Mrs. Liu had already changed into clean clothes at this time, she was dressed very luxuriously, she had a lot of red hairpins and green hairpins on her hair, and she also had powder and blush on her face.Standing in front of Mrs. Liu's body, Zhuo Yun bowed again to express his apology, and then went to hold her right hand to look at it.

There was a deep and thick bloodstain on the palm of Mrs. Liu's right hand, which was particularly ferocious. Judging from this kind of injury, Ziju, the servant girl of Liu's residence, did not lie.Mrs. Liu injured her right hand, so all the Buddhist scriptures that have been transcribed in recent days are replaced by her left hand.

Zhuo Yun lowered his eyes quietly, lowered his head and thought carefully, Uncle Qi said during the autopsy yesterday that it was the knife on the left chest that killed Madam Liu.And if Mrs. Liu committed suicide, she could only hold the knife in her left hand. Since Mrs. Liu was not left-handed, she didn't use her left hand to do things.

As for Mrs. Liu, she stabbed her left chest with a knife in her left and right hands, and she was killed with a single knife.This is not smooth, and the strength is not right.

Just as Zhuo Yun was thinking, Uncle Qi, the office worker in the yamen outside, came.

When Uncle Qi heard Jiang Rong say that Zhuo Yun found out that Mrs. Liu might not have committed suicide, he immediately rushed to Liu's mansion.In fact, he went back last night and thought about it carefully, and he also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think about it for a while, so he gave up.

Hearing that Zhuo Yun had found out today, he naturally wanted to follow along to have a look.Uncle Qi stood aside and asked Zhuo Yun, "What did you find?"

Zhuo Yun nodded and said, "Uncle Qi, did you have an autopsy yesterday, are you sure that Mrs. Liu's death was caused by the knife in her chest? Are there any other wounds on her body?"

Uncle Qi shook his head and said: "Mrs. Liu only has this knife wound on her left chest and heart. If she committed suicide, Mrs. Liu has made up her mind to die, because the knife was done very viciously, and it is a one-shot death. If it was done by someone else Harm, that is, intentional murder, this person is cruel, and he has long had good intentions to put Madam Liu to death."

Zhuo Yun nodded and said: "I understand." Then he raised his voice to look at Liu Xiangsheng, and asked, "Young Master Liu, do you know if there is an ice room in your residence?"

Liu Xiangsheng was slightly taken aback, then he gave Aunt Jin a wink, Aunt Jin saw Liu Xiangsheng's wink, and went down.Only then did Liu Xiangsheng reply to Zhuo Yun's words, and said, "there is an ice room in the house, which provides a place for cooling ice in hot summer. What? Detective Zhuo quickly thought that my mother's death was related to the ice in the ice room." ? I have asked Aunt Jin to investigate."

Zhuo Yun nodded and said: "Exactly. If I guessed correctly, the murderer used the ice cubes in the ice storage room to tie the ice cubes to the beams of the house with ropes, and squeezed a sharp dagger between the two ice cubes. In the middle. The murderer calculated the time correctly, knowing that Mrs. Liu would go to the Buddhist hall to chant Buddha yesterday afternoon, and also calculated when the ice cubes would melt. When the ice cubes melted, the dagger would just be able to be inserted into Mrs. Liu's chest."

After Zhuo Yun's analysis, everyone in Liu's house was terrified, and they all whispered to themselves, Madam treats others very generously, who would dare to kill Madam?The murderer really has no conscience!Die badly!
Zhuo Yun continued: "Mrs. Liu has a wound on her left chest. Uncle Qi also said yesterday that the wound on her chest is fatal. Mrs. Liu suffered a knife wound on her right hand. If she committed suicide, she must use her left hand. For people who usually do things with their left hand, they don't have much strength in their hands. What's more, if Mrs. Liu committed suicide with her left hand holding a knife, she must insert it into her right chest, so why is it inconvenient to turn her hand?"

Liu Xiangsheng's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a calm voice: "It's really audacious! Who is so daring to kill Madam!" He raised his sleeves, and his sharp eyes swept across everyone in the Liu residence, and finally fell on Zhuo Yun's face. "Captain Zhuo, according to your investigation, the murderer must be someone from the family? If it is not someone who is used to by my mother, it is impossible to be so familiar with my mother's living habits."

Ziju Baimei's face immediately changed when she heard the words, she cried and knelt down to defend herself: "It's not a slave, it's really not a slave. The madam treats the slave so well, how can the slave kill the madam?" Ziju cried the most and knelt down. Lying down, he pulled Liu Xiangsheng's plain robe and said, "Young master, you can't wrong the slaves. When the madam had an accident, the slaves and the others were waiting outside the Buddhist hall. Before the madam had an accident, the slaves were also there If you are with the sisters in the family, ask Xirui if you don't believe me."

Xirui came over, nodded and said: "Master, what Ziju said is true, it won't be her and Baimei. Before Madam's accident, Ziju and Baimei had been with the servants all the time, and we were still worried that Madam would eat her." No dinner yet. But who knows, Madam didn’t eat a mouthful of rice yesterday, so she left.” She took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears as she spoke.

Zhuo Yundao: "It can't be an ordinary maid in the house. If those ice cubes want to be moved from the ice storage room to this Buddhist hall, at least a mature man can have such strength. For example... like Steward Ding A strong man." After speaking, his sharp eyes swept towards Ding Shoucai who was standing aside.

Ding Shoucai's legs gave way, and he almost lost his footing. He immediately said fiercely, "You fucking fart! Zhuo Yun, don't talk nonsense, I didn't kill Madam!"

The corner of Zhuo Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled and said, "Butler Ding really can't stand a joke, but he just used your figure as an example. Why are you so angry? It's not worth it to hurt yourself."

Ding Shoucai glanced at Master Liu Er intentionally or unintentionally. This Master Liu Er was like a Buddha, his eyes were fixed, but he didn't meet Ding Shoucai's eyes.Because he was brewing, trying to squeeze a few muddy old tears from his small, dry eyes.

Liu Xiangsheng was more concerned about who the murderer was, and didn't care about other things. He just asked Zhuo Yun: "Since Detective Zhuo has already determined that my mother was murdered by an adulterer, is there any clues to find out the real murderer?" He gritted his teeth while talking. Said, "Thinking about it, I'm really angry. My mother has such a bodhisattva heart, but she ended up being framed by others." Turning around, he punched Zhuo Yun, and then said to Lu County Magistrate, "Master Lu, if you are in the yamen If the murderer of my parents can be caught, I am willing to give half of the Liu family property to build roads and docks for the county."
