The Delicate Lady Coroner

Everyone looked at Liu Xi, and Liu Xi’s gloomy face was full of bitterness, “The Liu family’s rule is that every year when offering sacrifices to the ancestors during the New Year, there must be a son and grandchildren in the ancestral hall to keep the year old. That year, I was the one who kept the year old. It was also that year, the uncle and the others had already left, but the uncle suddenly returned to check the cabinet where the genealogy was placed, as if afraid of being seen by the genealogy, I became suspicious at that time."

"It was also at that time that the uncle began to ask people to say kisses for the seventh sister. By chance, when I went to find out what the uncle and the second uncle told the shop, I heard them talking about the seventh sister. Outsiders, as long as the seventh sister is married out, the uncle is worried, saying that the delisting of the genealogy is known, and the seventh sister's life in her husband's house will not be easy. "

Liu Yan's eyes widened as he listened, "Fifth brother knew then..."

Wu Xiang twisted his eyebrows, "Why did you go to Shuiyue'an to find her many times last time?"

"In order to ask her who actually killed her." Liu Xi showed a gloomy look in her eyes, glanced at Liu Yan, and simply clarified what she said, "She never goes out of the house alone. She rarely walks around. The foreigner whose name can be called is only afraid of counting with one hand. I don't think she will have an affair with any foreigner."

Liu Yan couldn't help but said, "Fifth brother, don't talk nonsense."

Liu Xi didn’t care about it, “If I know this, other brothers may also know that there are far more people who hate her in this mansion than those who like her. Even since I was a child, I would never regard her as a relative. My sister thinks that if she hadn't saved my life in those years, I knew who she was in the past few years, and I'm afraid I would also want to make her marry sooner without seeing her."

"If you have siblings, you are bound by ethics and etiquette, but if you know that you are not a brother or sister, you will no longer have the scruples of disobedience, especially as the time goes on, the more difficult it will be to see her as a sister—"

Liu Xi's eyes closed for a moment and then looked at Wu Xiang, "Therefore, the person who murdered her must be from the mansion, but she is reluctant to tell who that person is, even I can't ask."

Liu Yan wanted to say something but stopped. Even if Liu Yao is not of Liu's blood, she is also a young lady of the Liu family in the eyes of outsiders. If this matter is spread, it will be a scandal comparable to the dusting, and the Liu family will surely be criticized by then.

Seeing the painful look in Liu Xi's eyes, Wu Xiang didn't ask him what he thought of Liu Yao, but said, "Then you know, who else knows about this?"

Liu Xi shook his head and sighed, "If I knew it, it would be fine."

Wu Xiang frowned, "I'm asking your brothers now, I'm afraid they will all say they don't know."

Wu Xiang looked at Liu Yan again, and Liu Yan said with discomfort: "I really don't know. In my heart, Seventh Sister is a younger sister. I also said why I didn’t care about her like that. It can’t be me. Hurt him."

Wu Xiang pondered for a moment, "Can the second son and the fourth son be in the mansion?"

Liu Yan nodded hurriedly, "Yes."

"Please come here, please."

Liu Yan ordered his attendants to invite people. Soon, the second son, Liu Xu, arrived in the hall first. Among the brothers, Liu Xusheng was very handsome and gentle, and his speech and manners were also courteous. He did A bit of elder brother's steadfastness.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Xu asked about the case with great concern. Hearing Wu Xiang said that there was no progress for the time being, Liu Xu’s eyes sank. Wu Xiang looked at him up and down for a moment, "I heard that the second son has already made a kiss."

Liu Xu nodded, and Wu Xiang asked again: "I don't know which girl it is."

Liu Xu was a little hesitant and puzzled. He didn't seem to understand why Wu Xiang asked so. Liu Yan hurriedly said: "It's the second lady of the Shangshu Family of the Ministry of Etiquette—"

Wu Xiang nodded slightly, and said nothing. After a while, the fourth son Liu Heng arrived at the entrance of the hall with a sick appearance. He did not see him for two days. His complexion was more sallow, and his eyes were green and black. Obviously, he was extremely tortured in the past two days. He entered the door. He took a seat impatiently, "What are you telling me to do here? I have already said what I should say that day."

Wu Xiang looked at Liu Xu and Liu Heng, "Do you know that Liu Yao is not in the blood of the Liu family?"

Wu Xiang asked directly. As soon as the words fell, Liu Xu and Liu Heng were surprised at the same time, and Liu Xu looked surprised and uncertain, "What? Yao'er is not from the Liu family's blood?"

Liu Heng also frowned and said, "Seventh Sister is the fifth uncle's biological daughter. What do you say?"

Both of them were shocked. It seemed that they didn't know the matter at all before. Wu Xiang looked at them carefully, but saw that neither of them was evasive and stared at him, and there was no sense of guilty conscience. Wu Xiang was a little at a loss for a while. , If neither of them knows this, then in the entire Liu Mansion, only the elder and the second elder plus one Liu Xi know about it, could it be one of the elder and the second elder?

Wu Xiang glanced at Liu Yan. Liu Yan just told Liu Yao’s life experience. Liu Xu and Liu Heng were stunned for a moment. Liu Xu said regretfully, “No wonder grandmother didn’t like her since I was a child. I thought my grandmother was a believer. With the words of those monks and Taoists, no matter what entanglements the previous generation had, she has nothing to do with her. She has had a difficult time since she was a child."

Liu Heng snorted when he heard the words, "What's so difficult? It's not the young lady of the Liu family, but we also let her grow up in fine clothes and clothes. Without us, I don't know what life she will live."

Liu Heng was very unhappy with Liu Yao during the conversation, even if she was dead, Liu Yan sighed and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to find out who killed the Seventh Sister. If there is a murderer in our house. People are here, no one can live in peace."

Everyone fell silent for a while. Wu Xiang looked at the Liu family members in the house and realized that everyone was likely to lie. Although Liu's subordinates' testimony was asked many times, they did not rule out false testimony for them.

Bo Ruoyou looked at these brothers, but he didn't feel that it was true. Such stalemate was not a solution, and the two had to say goodbye.

After leaving Liu Mansion, the two returned to the Yamen, and when they arrived at the Yamen, Wu Xiang looked at the confession of several nuns and said: "The nuns that the two masters favored don’t realize that the two masters’ words mean to Liu Yao. On the contrary, because of Liu Yao's reputation, the second master is quite disgusted. As Liu Xi said, she seems to be a disaster, and the two masters of the Liu family just want to marry her."

Bo Ruoyou frowned her eyebrows, and her eyes were gloomy. "Just looking at the appearance of Master Liu's family, he seems to think that Liu Yao's troubled Liu Mansion has caused so many incidents."

She pondered for a moment, "After the incident happened that day, only the murderer knew that Liu Yao had an accident. However, the news of Liu Yao's death has not been reported in the nunnery for a long time. If the head catcher was the murderer, would he be anxious?"

Wu Xiang thought for a moment, "Of course I am anxious. You said Liu Yao died of excessive blood loss, and there is no extra blood on the floor in the house. If it were me, I would worry about whether Liu Yao died completely."

Bo Ruo narrowed his eyes, "Then, the murderer will probably choose to visit her under the banner of visiting her, and choose to visit her."

Wu Xiang got up and paced, and followed her words to the analysis, "The first person to visit her was the third master. When I asked the man the day before, I had already asked the people in the mansion. Grandpa Liu is an official and he is considered the head of the Liu family. The second master is in charge of Liu’s business, but because he likes wine and acted madly and not comprehensively, the third master assisted him. The third master acted well and treated his subordinates quite kindly. He was superior in business. More shrewd than Mr. Accountant, he went to visit Liu Yao just because of his concern for his little niece, or because of something else?"

Bo Ruoyou pondered, Wu Xiang said again: "The second son is Liu Xu. He said he went as the top brother in the family, and the third was Liu Xi. I don’t know why, I don’t doubt Liu. Xi, compared to other people, Liu Xi’s emotions are on his face, and he is the one who visits Liu Yao the most times. If he is Liu Yao's personal love, how can he go to see her so openly?"

Bo Ruoyou didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't answer for a moment. Wu Xiang thought for a while and said, "We still have to check everyone's details more clearly. Liu Yao doesn't say who has an affair with her, if it is for protection Who, will it be Liu Xu? He has already made an appointment with the young lady of the Shang Shujia. If he speaks out, I am afraid that it will affect this good relationship. Today, both Liu Xu and Liu Heng seem to be ignorant of this matter. , But I feel unbelievable."

Bo Ruoyou felt the same, "The head catcher will continue to investigate. I think about how the murderer got away."

The two reached a consensus. Seeing that it was too late, Bo Ruoyou had to return home first. The case was complicated and confusing, and the secret room at the scene of the crime had not been cracked. Bo Ruoyou felt inexplicably, if he could figure out why the murderer died in a closed room. , The murderer of this case will also be revealed.

After dinner, Bo Ruoyou told Cheng Yunzhi at Liu’s house. Cheng Yunzhi frowned, “If this is the case, the three people who are most suspicious are indeed the three who went to visit first, especially the third master, who had never treated this little niece before. Very caring, this is the first time I visited, and he was the first to visit."

Bo Ruoyou sighed bitterly, "There is no other evidence at the moment. Wu Catou will continue to investigate, I'm afraid it will take a few days to investigate."

Seeing her contemplating and contemplating, Cheng Yunzhi had no choice but to appease. When she finished her dinner, Bo Ruoyou went back to the room to take a bath and lay down. Because of her anxiety, she was not sleepy for a while, but at this moment she had never thought of a case, she was thinking about Huowei Tower.

Thousands of miles away from the southwest of the capital, she felt a pain in her heart when she thought that Huo Wei Tower was in a dangerous situation, and the night was dark, she went to sleep in a daze after a long time.

In the dream is that misty illusion again. She is like a blind girl who has lost her way. She can't see the path under her feet, and can't tell the direction of her journey. Only the endless ringing of bells and jingles comes, and she seems to have entered everything for a while. At the end of the dark narrow road, for a while, it seemed to hear a strange and familiar cry. The voice was childish and frightened, and it instantly drew sorrow from it. For a moment, there were clusters of golden light flashing in front of me, through the haze of tulle. She seemed to see Huo Wei Building covered in blood again.

…

Bo Ruoyou was awakened by the knock on the door.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and only after a few breaths did she hear Liang Auntie's voice coming from outside the door.

"Miss? Isn't the lady awake yet?"

Bo Ruoyou turned to look at the sky outside the window, and saw that the sky was already bright. She was a little surprised. She got up and opened the door first. Aunt Liang stood outside the door, looking at Bo Ruoyou with some worry, "What's wrong with Miss? uncomfortable?"

She woke up late today, which made Cheng Yunzhi a little worried, and she just asked Aunt Liang to come and have a look.

Bo Ruoyou rubbed his eyebrows, clearly feeling tired and painful in his forehead, but he couldn't remember what he dreamed of last night, "No, it's just that I was a little awake last night and fell asleep late."

Aunt Liang looked at her up and down for a moment, "That's all right, Miss, would you like to sleep a little longer?"

Bo Ruoyou shook her head. Aunt Liang asked her to freshen up and then left for breakfast. She stood in front of the door in a daze. She was awake for a while, but she still couldn't remember the dream scene last night.

After waiting for Cheng Yunzhi to have breakfast, the father and daughter went to Wuzhaohou's Mansion again. Bo Ruoyou is definitely going to Wuzhaohou's Mansion first. She wants to know if news is coming back from the southwest.

The carriage stopped in front of the Hou's house, and Bo Ruoyou couldn't help asking when he saw Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu sighed, "There is no news, there is no news..."

The knuckles that Bo Ruoyou gathered in front of her turned white, and a white light flashed in her mind, and she suddenly saw the scene of Huo Weilou covered in blood. She felt a pain in her heart, and her face turned pale in an instant.
