The Delicate Lady Coroner

Wu Xiang and Liu Yan left, but Bo Ruoyou wanted to stay in Liu Yao's boudoir for a while.

Liu Yao was pregnant when she died. Later, Xianhuai was discovered, and she was sent to Shuiyue'an after giving birth. After such a long time, it is extremely difficult to find direct tokens or evidence. If You didn't want to give up easily, looking at the dusty room, thinking that Liu Yao would never come back, she even wanted to know what kind of person Liu Yao was.

Liu Yao rarely shows up in the mansion on weekdays. This small courtyard is her world. Her entire nineteen-year life, most of the time she wandered in these rooms, copying characters~www.NovelMTL.com~Play chess Being a female red is the three things she uses most to kill time. Bo Ruoyou found a few embroideries on the bed in her bedroom. These embroideries have complicated and bright patterns, fine stitches, and lifelike birds, animals, and flowers. Even the embroidered lady in the outer shop is not as good as her embroidered.

Bo Ruoyou went to look at her chessboard again. The black and white chess pieces are as warm as jade, and the texture is high-quality. The wood grain on the corners of the chessboard has the warm and old temperament left by the owner all the year round. Playing chess here is also enjoyable.

She went to look at Liu Yao's bookcase and bookcase.

The posts she had visited were neatly placed on the cabinet, in small letters and broad-minded running script, and there were hundreds of books on the side that were more conspicuous, and they all spoke like their own words, and Bo Ruoyou believed in them. Literature can support others, and a person's reading habit shows her preferences and connotations to a great extent.

Bo Ruoyouzai carefully read the book that Liu Yao had read. Inexplicably, he felt that what Liu Yao liked was definitely not rude. It was just that if Liu Yao really had an affair with his cousin, then again. who can that be?

Bo Ruoyou squatted on the ground and looked at Liu Yao's relics brought back from Shuiyue'an in front of the maidservant Liu Yan left behind.

She checked these things when she was in Shuiyue'an, but at that time she was mostly looking for clues and didn't look at them carefully. Now looking at these little things in the house where Liu Yao lived for more than ten years is a different state of mind. .

Liu Yao had a very lonely and miserable life in Shuiyue'an, but Bo Ruoyou still found her words about the end of February. She wrote a travel note of a former dynasty book saint. There are a total of ten articles written in the full text. An article is dated and signed. From the beginning to the end, I spent almost a month of work, and later I only wrote poetry silently. Occasionally I also wrote a few poems, and there are many sad thoughts in the words, just like Liu Yan said. She really had a misfortune to commit suicide, but she did not hurt herself in the end.

Bo Ruoyou noticed that between these two months, Liu Yao's handwriting became sharper and turbulent, as she thought of Liu Yao being locked up in the nunnery, anxiously looking forward to the panic that no one came to pick him up for two months.

But it was only two months, how should she spend the next four months, no wonder she started messing around.

Looking back, Bo Ruoyou unexpectedly found two stacks of exactly the same manuscripts, the same travel note. When he saw the second manuscript, Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised.

Her handwriting returned to graceful and gentle writing, which was written at the beginning of April, and was very different from the stroke of silent poems at the end of March. It was as if she suddenly wanted to open it, and the anger and fear in her heart disappeared.

She was busy looking for May's manuscripts in a pile of clutter. After spending a long time, she found an excerpt from a two-page storybook. It was the end of May, when Liu Yao's mood was obviously confused again. The excerpted paragraphs are all words from the heroes and heroines of each other in the drama, but the handwriting has been changed from lower case to running case, and the front of the pen has also begun to be scribbled.

Bo Ruoyou was amazed, and went to read the third manuscript, which was written in the middle of June. What is strange is that her manuscript at the moment has become beautiful and beautiful again, with strokes, heavy pen strength, and soft sharpness. The land of rhetoric is more tender, Bo Ruoyou's heart moved slightly, and she went to search again. This time, she turned out the manuscripts from the end of June to the entire July.

After writing the travel notes, I did not see Liu Yao writing again for five or six days, or the manuscript was discarded by her during the period, and in half of July, Liu Yao's mood suddenly became more anxious than ever, except for writing according to her favorite poems. In addition to the post, she also wrote two quizzes, her words are sad and sad, sighing that the spring is easy to pass, sighing that the autumn is coming, and she is more than the wild wormwood, weak and dusty, waiting for the last wildfire to burn up. , Will disappear in this world.

Holding the slightly cool paper, Bo Ruoyou only felt a chill on his back.

At first she was sent to Shuiyue'an, she was afraid that there was still hope in her heart, but later she was detained longer and longer, naturally she became more and more frightened, Bo Ruoyou went to read the drama scripts she had at hand again, she seemed to read a lot of these. The corners of the book are curled up. On the pages are mostly stories of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies. Bo Ruoyou probably flipped through a few books and found that they all ended in harmony. He thought she was locked up in Shuiyue An, but I don’t know if it’s right. Comforting yourself with the happy ending in the book.

It is said that Liu Yao is reticent and timid, but she has experienced unmarried childbirth, forced by her family, driven out of the house, and never said the name of the person. It shows that she is not really weak and useless, but she likes to read books and calligraphy, and has a relationship with others. Private feelings have not revealed any clues, and they are contented and cautious in this small courtyard.

Speaking of suicidal words, she did not commit any self-defeating behavior. Although she was irritable, she still wanted to return to her home. However, the manuscripts she wrote still showed her erratic fear and despair in these days.

Even if I was used to being ignored in the Liu Mansion, and used to not being discharged from the hospital, the Antang was a strange place and quite miserable. At that time, she had left Liu Mansion and the person with personal affection. She must be in every possible way. suffering……

If she was depressed after being locked up for two months, and then she wanted to open it again, it would make sense, but the second time she suppressed the fear and restlessness in her heart, it was a little strange.

At that time, she had been detained for four months. If she had no external power, how could she persuade herself to come down?

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but straighten up, glanced at the Nuan Pavilion again, and turned to find Wu Xiang.

Following the maid to the Flower Hall, Wu Xiangzheng and several government officials questioned the servants, Bo Ruoyou walked forward and whispered to Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang nodded after thinking about it, and then turned around to continue to inquire.

Liu Yan sat aside and waited, his face a little startled, Bo Ruoyou saw that Wu Xiang was busy, so he walked to Liu Yan, "Have you ever played chess with Miss Seven?"

Liu Yan was slightly surprised, "No, is this related to the case?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "Just ask, the third son doesn't know what post Miss Seven likes to come to?"

Liu Yan was still hesitant to say something, obviously not knowing, Bo Ruoyou asked again, "In the past six months, has the third son visited the seventh girl?"

Liu Yan was embarrassed, "I have been there once, once in early April this year."

Bo Ruoyou's eyebrows jumped, "Only this time?"

Liu Yan nodded and was only asked by the ya, but was asked by Bo Ruoyou. Liu Yan felt a little guilty for no reason. At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the flower hall. Bo Ruoyou turned around and saw five The son Liu Xi walked in.

When Liu Yan saw Liu Xi coming over, he said: "The fifth brother visits the seventh sister more often. Miss Bo can ask the fifth brother."

Liu Xi frowned slightly, and stepped forward to look at Bo Ruoyou puzzledly, "I'll see if I can help."

Bo Ruoyou asked, "When did the fifth son go to see Miss Seven?"

Liu Xi's face was slightly solemn and said, "I have visited her several times, but it was not very happy every time. She was sent away in February and I went there in March. You all know what I am going to do. , I want to ask who harmed her. In her situation, she said that a new relationship is no longer possible. Unless the person who harmed her is found, the two will be married, or we can hold that person to blame, otherwise If she procrastinates like this, I am afraid that it will be closed for a year and a half in the Antang, and it will be her who will be delayed."

"This is when I went to see her in mid-March, and later in early April. When I went there, I saw that she was not in good spirits, but I never tried to ask. After this time, I was busy buying a house, and it was not until the end of May. When I went to visit, she was too thin and she was too thin, and the people in the nunnery were not very dedicated. For this reason, I yelled at them. The last time I saw her was in the middle of last month, and it was still to ask her. That matter, but she still said nothing."

Liu Xi’s eyes showed pain: "I quarreled with her, and then left. On the fifth day of August, the people in Antang said that she was not eating anymore, so I wanted to visit, but the next day, San Bo Suddenly I said I was going to see her, so I was overwhelmed, thinking about going with San Bo. She must be even more frightened. It is impossible to say anything. Then the next day, my second brother was going again. I wanted to go with San Bo. The second elder brother went with him, but he thought that he would leave after unhappy, so he thought that the second elder brother might be able to comfort her, because when he was a child, the second elder brother took her very well, but the third elder brother came back that day and said that no one had seen her. , I just want to go by myself."

Bo Ruoyouxiu's eyes were deep, and the knuckles gathered in her sleeves moved slightly, as if she was thinking about something. For a moment, her face became more and more condensed, and she asked the two people in front of her, "Is there any son or elder? Visited her at the beginning of April, the end of March and the beginning of June?"

Liu Xi and Liu Yan looked at each other, and both shook their heads. Liu Xi said, "The elders have hardly been there. They are all our brothers. I think I have visited the most."

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "Fifth Young Master knows why Seven Girls like "Shan Hai Ji Lu"?"

"The Collection of Mountains and Seas" is Liu Yao's three-time travel notes. Liu Xi heard this question, and said without hesitation: "Because she doesn't want to stay in the house, she wants to go outside and take a look." The color was dim, "I kept telling her that there was a chance, but I didn't expect..."

Thin as she pursed her lips, it’s no wonder Liu Yao liked to copy this book when she was locked up in the temple. The world is vast and wide, but she is like a bird with its wings broken. The tighter it is, the more she wants to escape. , But she eventually died in the nunnery.

Bo Ruoyou didn't ask any more. At this time, Wu Xiang and the servants had also finished asking the people in the mansion. They didn't seem to have gained much, and the expression on their faces was faint. At this moment, the Jin Wuxi was sinking, and Wu Xiang was not too embarrassed by Liu Mansion. Everyone directly said goodbye.

Liu Xi also wanted to inquire about the Yamen and feel relieved, but Wu Xiang didn't elaborate, and Liu Yan personally sent them out of the mansion.

On the way out of Liu Mansion, Wu Xiang Yuma was outside Bo Ruoyou's carriage, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you just ask me if anyone was going to visit the Seven Girls in April and June?"

Bo Ruoyou confided the manuscript he found in Nuan Pavilion, and said in a condensed voice: "Liu Yao originally liked to post silent poems. At the time of Liu's residence, he could also play chess and become a female celebrity, but when he came to the nunnery, he could only do this. Incident, so I think Liu Yao's state of mind can be seen in most of her manuscripts."

"When she was imprisoned for two months, her mood was obviously flustered and irritable, but at the beginning of April, the stroke of the pen suddenly changed back to its original appearance. The same thing happened in early June. She was so erratic twice. I I don't think she comforted herself, or because of other reasons, I tend to be comforted by someone at the time."

Wu Xiang's eyes shimmered, "Is that the person who has an affair with her?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "She protected the person very well, especially the later poems were quite disgusting, but she still didn't say who that person was. If she even had the idea of ​​suicide, but still concealed it, I I felt that she really wanted to protect that person, otherwise, why not just say it and fight it out?"

There is nothing worse than death anyway.

Wu Xiang nodded, "So that's the case, but we asked the servants in the mansion that a few personal attendants might have concealed things, but the steward and the concierge said nothing false. According to them, several masters have never been there in the past six months. Shuiyue'an has seen her, and Shuiyue'an's skin and flesh business is also in the name of entering the house to pray for blessings, and come to each house to act. After you talked to me, I asked them more broadly. But when Zeng went out of the city, this was a question. This mansion really believes in the Buddha, but it is the Buddha of Xiangguo Temple."

Wu Xiang mocked, "Their family goes to Xiangguo Temple every month to make sacrifices. Sometimes they go together, sometimes they send individuals to go there. In the past six months, almost everyone has been out of the city for this reason."

Xiangguo Temple is on the Nanshan Mountain outside the city, not far away from Tingshan Mountain, but if everyone goes together, they can all be witnesses to each other, and if they go alone, they also bring some entourage, such as the sixth grader who came out of the city and gave incense. Four sons.

Bo Ruoyou groaned: "Holding the head can make people look into it carefully. If they went out of the city to Xiangguo Temple and later witnesses were incomplete, then they asked the teachers and wives of Anzhong, most of them know who has been there and who hasn't. When did you go?"

Wu Xiang nodded, only to realize that Bo Ruoyou had almost grasped the context of the case, and he felt more and more that it was the right thing to bring her with him, "Well, tonight, I will tell you tomorrow morning."

After a short meal, Wu Xiang said, "However, there is one more thing that is still unknown."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "The secret room has not been cracked yet."

Wu Xiang said in a deep voice, "No matter who murdered Liu Yao, Liu Yao did indeed die in the secret room, and there were blood stains wiped off behind the door. Yesterday you and I checked carefully. The house is very simple and crude, I really didn't think of it."

The simpler the place, the harder it is to arrange blindfolds that confuse people. The doors and windows in the nunnery were locked, and the simplest and solid internal bolts were used. There were no other holes. Wu Xiang thought about it, but really didn’t understand. How the murderer did it.

Bo Ruoyou also said: "I have never imagined that the doors and windows are all tightly stitched. If you use rope and filament, it is impossible. The only place where you can enter and exit the table and chopsticks is in the back window of the warm pavilion, which is a few minutes away from her. Ten meters away, and she was forced to die by a collision. If the murderer was outside the house, she could not commit the crime."

Bo Ruoyou thought about the Qimen Dunjia, but she was not good at this. For a while, she felt that her thinking was choked and she had no clue. Wu Xiang sighed, "Finally, go to interrogate a few people in Antang, maybe there is something else. The clue is missing, the murderer is not a ghost, it is impossible to be really flawless."

Bo Ruoyou responded, seeing that it was too late, and he said goodbye to Wu Xiang and returned home.

After returning home, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help asking about Huo Qinghong's condition. Cheng Yunzhi said, "He has improved a lot. He can't stay in the Hou Mansion for these two days. If the injection is changed to once every seven days in the future, it would be fine to go back to the Guogong's mansion, but he is not at ease.

Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, "Look at him, this time he has also been in the Hou Mansion for half a year, I am afraid it is really suffocated."

Cheng Yunzhi twitched his lips, "For this reason, Father Fu wants to find some new things for him to enter the mansion to solve the problem, but he dare not. It seems that after this time, he really wants to change his temper."

Thinking of Huo Qinghong’s absurdity, Bo Ruoyou felt that it would be great if he could change his temperament. Cheng Yunzhi asked about the case again. When Bo Ruoyou told about the Liu family, Cheng Yunzhi couldn’t help but change his face, "There is no other possibility. ?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "At the moment, the possibility is extremely small."

Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "If this is the case, it is a bad fate."

Bo Ruoyou replied, and then told the unsolvable secret room. Cheng Yunzhi heard what she said, thinking about it for a moment, and there was no gain, so he soothed, "Maybe it's not as complicated as it is, so you don't have to keep thinking."

Bo Ruoyou agreed, and the father and daughter had dinner, and Bo Ruoyou took a rest early.

Early the next morning, Bo Ruoyou and Cheng Yunzhi confessed that they planned to go to the Yamen first, and then accompany him to the Hou Mansion. Cheng Yunzhi responded, and Bo Ruoyou went out. When he arrived at the Yamen, Wu Xiang had already finished the interrogation. He looked at the testimony and thought about it all night, but still didn't get a clue.

Seeing Bo Ruoyou coming, he seemed to see a savior.

"Let’s take a look, I asked them, and the two brothers Liu Yan are the same. Except for the two of them, the second son and the fourth son have also visited once, and they still went together. It was in early April, except In addition, they were not in the nunnery for two days at the end of March and the beginning of April, as well as at the end of May and beginning of June. If anyone visited at that time, they would not know."

"Compared with the testimony received in Liu's mansion, at the end of March, the third father and son went out of the city to Xiangguo Temple together. At the end of April and the end of May, the second father and son and the fifth son went together. Only those who left the city alone The fourth son was on the sixth day of this month, and that time was still confirmed. As for the house in the south of the fifth son, I also sent someone to inquire."

"The house was purchased by the five sons from a merchant from the south of the Yangtze River. The intention was at the end of March, and it was in mid-April to go to the Yamen for the paperwork. After that, he invited a craftsman to repair the courtyard, but it was a little strange. His courtyard was entered three times in total. He specially invited craftsmen to dress up a female boudoir, which is not as elegant as the place for gatherings as he said--"

Bo Ruoyou breathed lightly, "Women's boudoir? Do you want to hide Jiao Jinwu?"

Wu Xiang was also a little puzzled, "At their house, only the second son has made a marriage appointment. If the fifth son wants to stay in the house, he wants to be raised in the outside room. It is not that he wants to connect his sister to the house. ?"

Bo Ruoyou frowned, and couldn't help asking again, "The teachers and wives said, who likes the skin and meat business in this nunnery?"

Wu Xiang's face showed a toothless look, "The Liu family is the second master."

"Only him?" Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised.

Wu Xiang nodded, "He also said that the second master has many quirks, because of this, he was reprimanded by the uncle Liu family. Since then, he has not dared to leave people at home for fun, but sent to the outside house."

When Bo Ruoyou thought of the second master's well-dressed appearance, there was a chill in his heart, but Wu Xiang suddenly thought, "You said that Liu Yao has some strange wounds on her body?"

Bo Ruoyou chuckled in his heart, and then thought carefully, "But... others are well-documented, it doesn't seem to be the same."

Wu Xiang's eyes rolled, "They said that the second master valued one of the nuns very much, but that person stayed in the nunnery. I plan to bring the remaining two people back to Beijing for questioning. It’s best not to miss anything. clue."

Bo Ruoyou responded and saw that Wu Xiang was going to get people, so he returned to the mansion to accompany Cheng Yunzhi to visit Wuzhaohou mansion. She was in the future yesterday, and today, as soon as she entered the mansion gate, Fu Gong Gong received a lot of care. When she heard that there was another weird case in Beijing, Then pity her hard.

Cheng Yunzhi went to see Huo Qinghong first, and when he entered the yard, he saw a cage hanging outside the window with a bird with colorful feathers living in it. The chirping sound was clear, because he saw strangers and was in the cage. He fluttered his wings and said, "The son is boring and wants to go back to the mansion. I said I would find some other fun for him, but he didn't want to, so he suddenly said that he wanted a bird, which was delivered this morning. ."

Bo Ruoyou saw it, and it's better to tease the birds than to go to the fireworks field.

Cheng Yunzhi went to ask Huo Qinghong's pulse, Bo Ruoyou stood under the corridor and looked at the bird. Not long after watching, a servant of the Hou Palace suddenly hurried over from outside, behind him, following what he hadn't seen for a long time. Ning Xiao.

Ning Xiao had a cold face, but when I saw it today, there was an especially anxious color on the tip of his eyebrows. He didn't seem to expect that Bo Ruoyou was here. He was taken aback for a while before he walked forward to salute again. See Mr. Fu.

Father Fu soon came out, his smile faded when he saw Ning Xiao's expression, Ning Xiao glanced at Bo Ruoyou, "Daddy, please take a step to speak."

It's nothing to hide Bo Ruoyou from official business, but the last look at Ning Xiao made Bo Ruoyou particularly uneasy. She almost immediately determined that Ning Xiao's report was related to Huo Weilou. Not only that, it was not a good thing.

When the two of them left the guest house, she raised her heart suddenly, and waited for half a cup of tea before Grandpa Fu came back from the outside. When facing the thin eyes, Grandpa Fu wanted to force herself to talk. There was a smile, but he pulled the corner of his mouth, and it was uglier to smile than cry.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help it anymore, and stepped forward and asked, "Father-in-law, what happened to Lord Hou?"

Father Fu gritted his teeth and was eagerly pressed by her eyes, and had to tell the truth, "Three days ago, Lord Hou was attacked in the southwest village, and now his whereabouts are unknown."

Bo Ruoyou paled immediately.
