Chapter 291 The Murderer Du Juan-
“That dead girl, is she really, really dead?”
Ruan Mianmian’s face was filled with shock and she couldn’t believe her ears.
It’s not because she feels sorry for Du Juan, she simply feels that she has caused trouble for her - she wears red clothes, branded with weird runes, and even turns into a demon when she dies. What a little bitch!
"Does she want to turn into a ghost to take revenge on me? This damn girl has such a bad heart!"
Ruan Mianmian wiped the new mud on her face with her handkerchief and cursed fiercely. Then she remembered that Mo Tingfeng and Shu Jielong were still around, so she immediately changed her face and said with regret,
"Oh, I am also sad for his misfortune and angry for his inability to argue. It is really unlucky for a good person to die as soon as he said he would die, and in the house of brother Tingfeng."
Mo Tingfeng and Shu Jielong The others had no intention of talking to Ruan Mianmian, but Li Qingshui couldn't stand listening anymore, and became even more fed up with this superficial woman who relied on his cousin to be Master Sikong.
"Ruan, you have a boil where others have a heart, right?"
"How long have you been, and you can only make sarcastic remarks? If you have this skill, you might as well do something wrong." People should contact Dujuan’s relatives to give them an explanation.”
Ruan Mianmian rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue.
"Oh, you are the only one who can say nice things. Why, do you want to show off your bodhisattva heart in front of Boss Shu?"
"With such a kind heart, why don't you become a monk? ”
……
“That’s enough!”
Shu Jielong couldn't listen anymore.
"Qingshui, please stop saying a few words. She can't tell the difference, and you can't tell the difference either?"
Due to Zhuang Yuheng's face, Shu Jielong did not directly target Ruan Mianmian. But it was clear that Zhenniu from across the mountain had been "scored very dirty". Li Qingshui's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he nodded obediently and said no more.
.
On the other side, countless images surged through Qin Xueying’s mind, making her feel dizzy.
She actually took the initiative to ask Mo Tingfeng for a nighttime chat in the garden, and even wore his cloak?
She used ointment containing Wangbuliuxing to treat Sang Pu’s injuries when she heard she was pregnant? Becoming an accomplice in causing her miscarriage?
Even, she met Mo Tingfeng last night in the temporary palace, dressed extremely inappropriately, and even... kissed?
This... this is simply...
And now, the owner of the voice who told her the origin and usage of the Heart-Louding Qin actually hanged himself? And he died in the Venerable Mansion again.
She was just Ruan Mianmian's personal maid. Qin Xueying didn't even have much impression of this girl, so why would she believe what she said and follow it? And how did she know so many details about the Heart-Enchanting Qin that appeared out of thin air?
Is the owner of that voice really the hanged girl named Du Juan?
……
Qin Xueying had a splitting headache.
She had only been in Sichen Mansion for a few days, and she had killed two people in a row. Today, she caused such trouble in this forest clearing. I don’t know if the Sang Pu girl who was taken away by Yu Hengjun was there. Danger to life.
Qin Xueying subconsciously supported Banxia to stabilize her shaky self.
"Elder Princess..."
Ban Xia's voice was full of worry. After following her for so long, she had never seen Qin Xueying so frustrated and helpless.
"...It's okay."
Qin Xueying tried her best to calm down, and patted Banxia's hand holding her to express comfort. She really didn't allow herself to be in such a situation. Time to add to the chaos.
...
Ding Heran and Ye Wujiu took two steps back when they saw her coming. Qin Xueying looked ashamed and nodded to Mo Tingfeng.
"Lord Si Chen, I know that whatever I say now is in vain. Xue Ying cannot escape the blame for today's situation. The only thing that can be done at this moment is to leave Si Chen's Mansion immediately and leave room for Sir. It’s time to find the real culprit.”
“Of course, I am also a suspect. Your Excellency, you can list Xue Ying as one of the suspects. After I leave, I will return to the Kingdom Lord’s Mansion to reflect on my past. Your Excellency, I will conduct a thorough investigation. If you need to inquire and interrogate, just send someone to summon her."
Mo Tingfeng looked at Qin Xueying seriously and nodded solemnly. This is the eldest princess, the Qin Xue he is familiar with. Sakura is back.
Maybe, everything started because of that confusing heart harp.
"That's very good. Mo needs to investigate the case, so he bids farewell to the eldest princess here."
"I have sent a message to Uncle Fei, and he will be back soon to give you a ride on my behalf. "
Qin Xueying nodded and looked at Ruan Mianmian, who was staring at Li Qingshui.
"I will also take Mianmian with me, and I will send her back home safely. You don't need to be distracted."
"It's just that girl from Sangpu, I... I really feel guilty about her, and I don't know how to make up for it. I think that with Lord Yuheng taking care of her, she will definitely be auspicious, so I won't bother her for the time being, and will greet her after she recovers. "
"I hope that my lord and Miss Sang Pu will eventually get married. If there is someone Xueying can help with in the future, my lord, just ask."
After saying this, Qin Xueying refused. If there was any further delay, Banxia could only arrange for the maid to return to the Lord's Mansion to pack her luggage, while she took Ruan Mianmian and left first.
Shu Jielong seemed to have something to say to Mo Tingfeng, but due to the chaos today, he did not say anything and left with Li Qingshui to say goodbye.
……
The glade finally returned to peace.
After the heavy rain, the air in the mountains and forests became clearer and clearer. Now that there was no interference from the heart piano, Mo Tingfeng felt that his mind was clear, as if all kinds of doubts could be revealed and all kinds of knots could be solved.
"Heran, order someone to take the broken harp to the Evidence Department to trace its origin. I suspect that the blood stains on it came from the same scorpion that was on the forehead of the red-eyed innocent bird that attacked Weiwei earlier."< br>
"Yes!" Ding Heran agreed, glanced at Ye Wujiu standing next to him, and pouted at Mo Tingfeng, which clearly meant to tell him to "confess quickly, and be lenient if he confesses." .
"Please let me go and see the scene first. Don't worry about it now. We will find out later."
Ye Wujiu looked very unhappy and said something dull to Ding Heran. Mo Tingfeng saw it and did not find anything wrong. He just ordered people to search carefully in the forest clearing to see if there was anything abnormal, and then set off back to the Lord's Mansion.
.
As soon as he entered the side hall, Du Juan's long hair was disheveled. She was wearing a red gauze and red shoes and was hanging on the main beam. Her eyes were wide open, but she had already died.
There is a strange rune on her ankle, which is dark in color and looks like an old tattoo at first glance - as a maidservant of the noble family of the Immortal family, the routine physical examination every half a month is Absolutely, no tattoos are allowed.
In other words, this symbol did not exist during the last Ruan Mansion investigation.
The rune has a round head and horns, and there seems to be soul-piercing steel nails inserted into its body on both sides. It is full of resentment. Although there is no trace of the faction, it is clearly related to the curse, and it is a typical puppet charm.
Mo Tingfeng stared at this symbol in trance. He always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
......
"The first person to discover the body was Guyu. She went to the hospital to visit Dujuan this morning, but couldn't find it. She thought that she hadn't gotten out of bed for many days, and her body was weak and she would die. I knew how to travel far, so I searched all the way to the Lord’s Mansion.”
"When the eldest princess held a banquet, most of the palace servants went to the back mountain to wait, and no one noticed anything strange about Du Juan. When Guyu found out, he was so frightened that he immediately asked someone to come to me, so the scene of the crime was relatively Du Juan did hang himself and died."
"Before you came, I had arranged for a team of resentment breakers to quickly retrieve all the recorded runes in Meijie for comparison. Find out the origin of this talisman."
Ding Heran's crackling output completely interrupted Mo Tingfeng's thoughts. He nodded and returned his thoughts to the scene.
“Everything was planned by Du Juan.”
“After all, death is the most important thing, so let’s put her down first.”
...
"In addition, the water corpse case can be closed, the murderer is Du Juan."
.
At that time in the forest clearing, Mo Tingfeng realized That's exactly what happened.
Everything was done deliberately by Du Juan.
Pretending that her hand was injured and she needed help in getting ice, she led Xiao Gu to the underground ice cellar, and then locked him in while he was helping to cut the ice.
The underground ice cellar is dedicated to two noble masters to store precious snow lotus and ice. On weekdays, no one can enter except Pinellia ternata and Rhododendron, so Xiao Gu is trapped in it and no one knows.
In just an hour, she will completely lose consciousness due to low temperature freezing. At this time, Du Juan only needs to return, take away the key to the entrance and exit gate of the pond, open the entrance gate first, and then return to the ice cellar. The frozen eucalyptus can be easily transported to the exit gate through the secluded path beside the pond with the help of the sliding force of the ice.
The gauze stained with cuckoo's blood in the underground ice cellar must have been accidentally dropped while moving the little eucalyptus at this time.
Wherever the ice cube passes, even if there are water stains, it will evaporate quickly, leaving no trace behind.
The rest is easy.
Cuckoo only needs to push the small eucalyptus and the remaining ice cubes into the pond, and she will drown in less than two cups of tea. At this time, she goes into the water again and puts the prepared ice cubes from Ruan The jade leaves carefully removed from the jade hairpin were stuffed into the throat of the small eucalyptus, then the body was supported to open the exit gate, and the body was washed into the water street with the help of the water.
And the water was still surging at this time. With the help of the push, Xiao Gu's body was easily led under the water column of the painting boat and trapped. It was considered a success.
After Xiao Yu’s accident, Mo Tingfeng had looked through the information of all the waiters in the venerable residence.
He remembered that this girl was born in Zaoxiantai, a well-known small fishing village near Luoyun Town. The villagers have made a living by fishing for generations. Everyone is good at water. He wanted to use the water to transport the drowned body. It is not difficult to get to the boat a mile away.
Du Juan could have just found a place to tidy up after doing all this, and after the body was discovered, she could take advantage of the chaos and return to Si Chen's Mansion.
She just didn't expect that Song Weichen would order someone to specifically interrogate people who had no records of leaving the house but only records of entering the house. Fortunately, she was tortured by Ruan Mianmian all day long, with major injuries and small marks on her body. She had indeed been in a coma due to serious injuries before. He was sent out of the house for medical treatment, so he lied about it because he was unconscious when he left, so there was no record of leaving the house and he got through smoothly.
"Du Juan has only one purpose, to blame Ruan Mianmian."
"She has been abused by her for a long time, and her body and mind have already reached the limit. Whether it is to save herself or to take revenge, she has spent all her efforts. He came up with this murderous plan."
"But I am very doubtful. If this girl really had such a mind, how could she be tortured by Ruan Mianmian for so long? After seeing the scene in front of me today, I understood. ——Someone is helping her behind the scenes, and at the cost of her life, she completes a drama of murder and revenge in life.”
"The only flaw is that the jade leaves on the hosta were obtained too carefully, which exposed the relationship between the perpetrator and Ruan Mianmian. They spent a lot of time together and could touch her clothes and jewelry at will without anyone being suspicious. Even Ruan Mianmian himself would not be suspicious if he saw it. There is only one such person."
Mo Tingfeng peeled off the cocoon and almost restored Du Juan's entire deliberate murder process and motive. Ding He heard this. Ran and Ye Wujiu fell to the ground.
Du Juan uses the death of innocent people and his own death to seek revenge on a living person. Although he has done all the evil deeds, it makes people unable to hate him, and instead only makes him more sad.
......
Ye Wujiu shook slightly, his face became even worse, there seemed to be a faint layer of sweat on his forehead, the one on his left shoulder that had been burned by the Necromancer The wound was tormenting him all the time - the feeling was like lava dripping on the skin all the time - Ye Wujiu almost relied on his steely consciousness to hold on.
"Sir, regarding the runes on Du Juan, I..."
Mo Tingfeng raised his head and stopped Ye Wujiu from continuing.
He remembered where he had seen this rune before.
At that time, in the fourth level of illusion created by Grandma Huang, on the ice field, at the critical moment when the illusion collapsed, a wind wall suddenly appeared blocking his way to save Song Weichen. At that time, there was a black and red rune in the hurricane wall that changed its position and appeared and disappeared - it was this symbol!
In other words, although the ghost husband case was successfully solved, the real leading force behind it has not disappeared.
The "tall man with a shrill voice" who taught Huang Po Qimen Soul Locking Formation, and the "man with a shrill voice" who spoke in Lord Jinxian's mind must be inseparable from this strange curse symbol on Du Juan's ankle. Related!
"It seems that Du Juan's death is unusual. More serious things may happen later. Everyone must be cautious."
Mo Tingfeng looked solemn and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Ye Wujiu .
“Especially you.”
