Chapter 300 Crime Scene-
Ruan Mianmian's room is not small. It has a hall, a study, a private room, and a bedroom. There are two open-air terraces with eaves connected to the hall and the private room. There are fine guqin and tea utensils in them. In Magnolia It has a unique atmosphere under the shade of osmanthus and osmanthus trees.
It is not difficult to see that she is truly the proud daughter of God who has been held in the highest regard and pampered as she grows up. I am afraid that the biggest hardship she has ever suffered in life is the wedding candy of the person she loves.
Song Weichen and Mo Tingfeng carefully inspected Ruan Mianmian's room. The latter used magic to check and confirmed that she was indeed not in the room or Ruan's house - she was indeed missing.
But except for the string of black footprints on the ground and the red silk hanging on the beam, everything in the room was as usual. There were no signs of struggle or robbery, and there was no shortage of gold and silver. No one in the house saw Du Juan or Ruan Mianmian leave. They Just disappeared.
Zhuang Yuheng's face turned livid. He thought of his predecessor Bai Pao who disappeared out of thin air from the Si Chen Mansion and his whereabouts are still unknown. He didn't dare to think that his cousin might end up like him.
"Lao Zhuang, calm down, I have asked someone to take the blood handkerchief to trace its source, and I will definitely find her as soon as possible!"
Mo Tingfeng patted Zhuang Yuheng on the shoulder to comfort him,
"I have tested her blood repeatedly. The lingering essence of her spirit is still there. She must be alive. As long as she is alive, she will be saved."
.
Song Weichen never spoke to the two of them. From the moment he entered the door, he pursed his lips and looked at each other carefully in Ruan Mianmian's room over and over again. It was precisely because she didn't like Lao Longjing that she was confused if she didn't care, but could be rational. Act efficiently.
After finally confirming a few more details, she walked up to the two of them and stated her findings in a very confident tone,
"Brother Yuheng, Lord Sichen, let me try to restore the scene."
"Let's talk about the suspect first. Although there are witnesses in the mansion who claimed to have seen Du Juan, there is a chance that they saw a stand-in, right?"
"But I just checked carefully, and I think the person who came must be Du Juan, or should I say, the blood puppet of the necromancer who came here still has the consciousness of Du Juan when he was alive."
"Du Juan's footprints disappeared when she reached the round table, because she was sitting there, and Ruan Mianmian - she should have been kneeling ten feet away in front of the table."
As Song Weichen spoke, he went to a position one foot in front of the table and knelt down,
"This is it."
She sniffed.
"This position has the obvious scent of Ruan Mianmian's powder. The closer it is to the ground, the stronger it becomes. It means that she stays here for a long time in a squatting or kneeling position. Thanks to her always only using this rich four-legged incense, I can be so sure.”
……
Women are good at smelling, and are naturally sensitive to "feminine scents" such as perfume and powder. Song Weichen was so sure because he was stung by the strong fragrance of Lao Longjing and even gossiped about her powder with Gu Yu, so he was so sure.
This is what Guyu told her. The Sihe incense used by Ruan Mianmian is also called "Da Sihe". It is made from the top ingredients of four precious spices, "Shen Tan Long Musk" - taken from the thousand-year-old fragrance of Limu Mountain in the South China Sea. Agarwood, Laoshan sandalwood from Shendu Country, natural borneol from Boni Country, and natural musk produced by musk deer in Congling area are all treasures.
The fragrant powder made from these four spices has a fragrant and long-lasting flavor, which is highly appreciated by the nobles of the immortal family.
It's a pity that this fragrant powder is priceless. In the world of sleep, only a few people can get the "Da Si He". Even the nobles can get it. It is also very economical to use. Take a little "Fu Shen" and you can have a long aftertaste. .
But Ruan Mianmian deliberately went too far in order to show off his status, so he was called "Gui Fulan Stinky", which was too much for himself.
.
"In addition, Ruan Mianmian was wet when he knelt here."
Song Weichen said as she stood up to show Zhuang Yuheng and Mo Tingfeng the knees of her robe. She only knelt there for two cups of tea, and the robe at her knees was already lightly moist, which was obviously due to the return of moisture on the ground.
“The floor in this room is made of fine nanmu, and underneath it is a top-notch water-absorbent triple-height earth floor made of lime, clay and sandstone. Even if there is standing water, it can quickly seep away—the only The disadvantage is that it takes a long time to ventilate to truly restore dryness.”
"I have just carefully checked in the private room and bedroom. There is no moisture on the ground. It is only like this near the round table in this hall."
"May I ask you two adults, are you familiar with this scene?"
Song Weichen looked at the two of them with a determined look, becoming more and more like a white-robed venerable.
"She was punished by kneeling down on a daily basis and was often punished with ice water. This is almost exactly the same as Ruan Mianmian's behavior of torturing Du Juan in Sichen Mansion."
After saying this, she turned around and brought out an embroidery needle from the drawer next to the dressing table.
"And this, look at it."
Song Weichen took off the top two needles and saw faint traces of fresh blood on the needle tips and the holes where the needles were inserted.
She took out a few more needles from other locations. There was no blood on the needle tips, but there were dull blood stains where the needles were inserted. "Lord Si Chen, please take this object back to the Evidence Department to trace its origin. If my judgment is correct, the new blood stains come from Ruan Mianmian, and the old blood stains come from someone else, and Du Juan must be among them."
"Gu Yu once visited Du Juan and came back and mentioned to me that she had many old needle wounds on her arms. I heard that this was one of the ways Ruan Mianmian tortured his servants. He asked them to prick themselves with needles. They had to acupuncture. Seeing blood, euphemistically calling it "Plum Blossom Rain" is extremely cruel."
"So I have reason to suspect that the runes on that bloody handkerchief were drawn by Du Juan, who became a blood puppet, forcing Ruan Mianmian to prick herself with a needle and use the blood that flowed out."
"Based on the above two details, let's talk about the motive of the crime - I think Dujuan came here just for revenge."
"She sacrificed her life to make a contract with the devil, with only one purpose: to treat him in his own way and let Ruan Mianmian taste the pain that was inflicted on her."
"Since she can't live well, she doesn't want Ruan Mianmian to live well."
……
"Alas..."
Zhuang Yuheng let out a long sigh. Although he knew Ruan Mianmian was willful and naughty, he didn't know what she did in private.
After listening to Song Weichen's analysis at this moment, he felt a wave of panic. Even if he was mentally prepared, it was hard for him to imagine that his famous, quiet and graceful cousin was actually so miserable.
.
"Weiwei, don't be too distracted, I'm there for you in everything. Drink some water."
Mo Tingfeng compassionately put a cup of hot tea to Song Weichen's mouth, but she backed away as if she was electrocuted.
"Thank you, Lord Si Chen, for your love. Don't worry about your subordinates. It's more important to save people."
He must be called "Lord Si Chen" in his words, and his level of proficiency is evident, and it is clear that he wants to deliberately distance himself.
Mo Tingfeng held the tea cup and stood there, feeling sad but helpless. Zhuang Yuheng naturally saw it, and he gently patted Mo Tingfeng's shoulder to express comfort.
"Give her some time, she'll be fine in a few days."
Hearing this, Song Weichen neither admitted nor denied, but took the tea cup from Mo Tingfeng's hand and put it aside with a calm expression,
"Lord Si Chen, my subordinates are very incompetent and can only see these clues at the scene. The rest of the matter depends on my lord to clear up the confusion."
"Okay."
Mo Tingfeng did not refuse,
"Wei Wei's deductions just now are all correct, and I agree with them. The person who came here is indeed Du Juan, and his motive is revenge."
"I went on to talk about what she wanted to achieve."
Mo Tingfeng looked up at the red silk hanging on the beam,
"The hanging red damask is not just for warning, and the black footprints on the ground are not unintentionally contaminated by Du Juan when he left the burned-down Ice Cellar Yizhuang. All of this is intentional."
"The black color is the ridge and the water, the red color is the li and the fire is the fire. From the upper ridge to the lower ridge, we take the image from the Book of Changes and get the hexagram 'Fire and water are not ready'."
"Originally among the five elements, 'water conquers fire', but this hexagram is reversed. Fire suppresses water. If the fire is not extinguished, the water will be in trouble."
……
"Sir, what you said is too complicated. Can you please take care of this scumbag subordinate?"
Song Weichen didn't want to talk to Mo Tingfeng, but he really didn't want to miss the core information of the case, so he had no choice but to speak.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Weiwei, I...I'll say it again."
"What I mean is that Du Juan gained the power of the necromancer, and the purpose was not to kill Mianmian."
"This red damask is hanging in the air, and a handkerchief with Ruan Mianmian's blood is hung in order to eventually replace it."
"If I'm not wrong, this is an evil formation from the outside world, called -"
"Do not enter the Five Elements Formation."
