Chapter 82
In the private room of the restaurant in the north of the city, Zhou ziruo is satisfied with the refreshing tea and delicious dishes. Lu LiXiao sat next to him, eating and drinking meticulously, occasionally rubbing his earlobe or kissing on his lips. The little two who came in to serve the dishes were almost blinded by two people. They put down the plate without strabismus and went out to wipe the sweat.
Really, although Tongyang City male style is not taboo, but also not so blatant!
Show love die fast!!
In the private room, he accidentally abused a single dog. His bloody husband had enough to eat and drink and talked about business.
Lu LiXiao took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and put them on the table. He took a silk handkerchief to wipe Zhou ziruo’s mouth. “These are all the clues about the two cases that the Yamen now has.”
Zhou ziruo picked it up and quickly turned it over. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he was: “these It’s all Original? ”
“How troublesome is it to copy one? It may also leave out information, so I just take the original. ” Lu LiXiao, of course.
Zhou ziruo doesn’t want to say anything except Niu B. I don’t know if Zheng an has lost all the secret information about the two cases. Does he think the murderer is playing a big game
The Yamen don’t have many clues.
The time of Zhuohua’s death was about 10:00 that night when the body was found. At that time, yunlanxuan’s business was hot and people were coming and going. In addition, the scene of the murder was not determined, so the scope of the suspects could not be locked. Zheng Yu is even more difficult to investigate. His body was soaked in a wine barrel for a few days before it was found, and even the specific time of death could not be inferred.
“Both died of drowning? How is that possible? The barrel is only a foot deep at most. Even if a living person can’t get into it, he can float up with his breath. How can he be drowned alive? ” Zhou ziruo holds the result of the autopsy.
“There are two possibilities.” Lu LiXiao took a chopstick and pointed it on the paper. “One, someone pressed their head to keep them from floating. 2、 They are thrown into the barrel in a state of unconsciousness, which is unable to resist. ”
In ancient times, there were no precise instruments, and the autopsy technique was simple. If they were put into a wine barrel by someone, it would be very difficult to detect them.
“Zheng Yu doesn’t say for the moment. I suspect that she was in a coma or drowning when she was pressed by someone in the water.” Lu LiXiao road.
Zhou ziruo asked him why with his eyes.
Lu LiXiao took out one of the papers and pointed to it. “This is the scar that he found in the back of Zhuohua’s neck.”
The picture should have been drawn by comparing with the scars. The marks are several inches long and thin. Zhou ziruo frowns when he looks at them. After a while, he slaps the table and says, “comb! This is the tooth mark of the comb
Lu LiXiao raised his eyes: “comb? Are you sure? ”
This trace is not easy to identify, Zhou ziruo’s attitude is too determined.
Zhou ziruo himself didn’t know what happened, but when he thought of the scene that Lisheng gave Zhuohua’s comb to him that night, he was absolutely sure that it was the mark of the comb, and that it was Zhuohua’s comb!
“Anyway, I’m just sure it’s a brilliant comb.”
Lu LiXiao examined him for half a moment, and did not worry about this problem any more. “The comb is not sharp enough. It is not a conventional murder weapon. The formation of this scar may be unexpected. For example, at that time, Zhuohua’s resistance was fierce, and the murderer took Zhuohua’s comb and stabbed her in the back of the neck in order to suppress her resistance… ”
“The comb is usually placed in the room, so the scene of the murder is the burning room?” Zhou ziruo thought, “but Didn’t she drown in a barrel? ”
“Drowning doesn’t have to be in a barrel. In fact, many people have a misunderstanding that drowning a person doesn’t need a lot of water, just drowning her face is enough. ” Lu LiXiao road.
Zhou ziruo reacted instantly! Yes, you can drown in the basin!
The train of thought suddenly opened, “Zhuohua loves Bai Shunhua. That night, Bai Shunhua came to yunlanxuan. Zhuohua wanted to meet her sweetheart with the best image, so he dressed up in the room. While she was washing her face, the murderer pushed her head into the basin and tried to drown her! Huohua fiercely resisted. In a hurry, the murderer picked up the wooden comb on the table and stabbed her in the back of the neck. Huohua was in a coma, and the murderer threw her into the barrel! ”
“Zhuohua can wash in front of the murderer as if nothing had happened. First, he can exclude the guests, second, he can exclude the men, and third, he can exclude the people with higher status than Zhuohua. Zhuohua is a petite woman with a little more strength. It’s not difficult to drag her into the wine cellar. ” Lu LiXiao road.
There are two suspects in Zhou ziruo’s heart. One is the servant girl who is said to be scared to quit after Zhuohua’s death. The other is zhuosha, Zhuohua’s best friend! The servant girl official has checked and confirmed that there is no doubt before he let her leave yunlanxuan. Zhuosha is Zhuohua’s best friend. It’s normal for Zhuohua to wash in front of her. However, Zhuohua is not wary of her. It’s easy for her to sneak attack!
Think of here, Zhou ziruo suddenly covered with cold sweat!
Emma! That day he dropped his comb in front of cinnabar! The comb has punctured the back neck of huohua. It must be stained with blood! Would cinnabar have gone to Zhuohua’s room to find a comb to destroy the evidence?? Did she recognize it??Lu LiXiao listened to his guess, but his eyes narrowed. After thinking for a moment, he said something different. “I don’t think that cinnabar girl you mentioned is like the murderer of Zhuohua. Why didn’t the murderer take away the comb at that time? Have you ever thought about it? ”
Zhou ziruo hesitated: “too flustered, forgot to take?”
“If you just forget it, you can go back and get it at any time afterwards, and Zhuohua’s room hasn’t been closed. In particular, the cinnabar girl you mentioned lived on the same floor as Zhuohua. It was easy to get her comb back. In my opinion, the killer didn’t notice that the comb was important material evidence. ” Lu LiXiao said.
Zhou ziruo closed his eyes and tried to restore the scene at that time.
Zhuohua bows to wash her face. The murderer sitting in the room comes to her behind with light steps while chatting, and suddenly presses her head into the basin! The murderer was afraid of failure. The only distance she could reach was a comb. So she took up one hand and stabbed her back neck. The other hand still pressed her head in the basin until she stopped.
After the confusion, the murderer threw the comb back on the table. She didn’t see the burning blood on the black wood comb. She just thought it was a useless thing she had just taken to ease her tension.
Zhou ziruo opened his eyes The murderer never intended to go back to get the comb! ”
“Not bad. If that cinnabar girl killed Zhuohua, and she passed by Zhuohua’s room day by day, she was often reminded of the scene of the murder. For the sake of safety, she would take away the comb. I think the murderer should not be the girl living in Hualou at least. By the way, is the comb still in your hand? ” Lu LiXiao asked.
Zhou ziruo said: “I gave it to Damu. Let him find a chance to put it back to the burning room. But it’s useless for me to get the comb back. Even if the comb is stained with scorching blood, how can I tell who the killer is? ”
“Useful or useless, how can the murderer know?”
“You mean…”
Lu LiXiao said: “the murderer is guilty. If he hears the news that the comb contains evidence, he will take it away and destroy it. We just need to wait for the hare.”
“Good idea! I’m going back for the holiday If Zhou ziruo jumped up from the stool, he saw Lu LiXiao still and asked, “brother Xiao?”
Lu LiXiao didn’t know what he was thinking. His eyes were deep and cold. If Zhou ziruo called him again, he turned his head and said, “if the murderer wants to steal the comb, he will probably act in the dead of night. You go back to the holiday news first, and I’ll go to yunlanxuan to meet you in the evening. ”
Zhou ziruo nodded and looked at Lu LiXiao, “brother Xiao, you were just in the street Who are you looking for? ” Now I remember that when I saw Lu LiXiao, he looked around in the crowd, his eyebrows were tight, as if I’m looking for very unusual people.
Lu LiXiao said: “by chance, I saw a man who was almost impossible to appear in the street Maybe I’m wrong. ”
If Zhou Zi doesn’t ask, if it’s important, Lu LiXiao will take the initiative to tell him in the future.
After reluctant farewell to Lu LiXiao, Zhou ziruo went to the pastry shop and bought four bags of orchid cheese cakes, then returned to yunlanxuan.
He went to Zhang Fu first. Although Lu LiXiao ruled out cinnabar, he still wanted to reconfirm for the sake of safety. Zhang Fu’s account book records the daily reception of all the girls and waiters. Zhou ziruo dutifully respects Zhang Fu with a bag of Lanzhi cakes. Unconsciously, he reveals the trend of cinnabar on the night of Zhuohua’s accident. Cinnabar has been receiving guests all night, so it’s impossible to commit murder and throw the body. Lu LiXiao’s conjecture is correct.
The second bag of Lanzhi cake, Zhou ziruo, got the famous eight trigrams base of yunlanxuan and shared it with a group of big mouths. Without any trace, he released false news. He believes that with these big mouths, the story will spread all over yunlanxuan in one day. Although the content of the news is specious, and the word “comb” is not mentioned at all, the killer will definitely respond when he hears it. Otherwise, he will jump out of the wall in a hurry tonight or tomorrow night at the latest!
After doing these two things, Zhou ziruo went to the backyard to find muqijun. As a result, he was told that muqijun and three long-term workers had just been sent by Zhang Fu to help an important guest’s family. It is estimated that they will come back tomorrow. I don’t know if the comb has been put back, alas!
Coming out of the backyard, Zhou ziruo plans to go back to the Lanlou with the remaining two bags of Lanzhi cakes, but he turns his head and looks at the isolated and upright building in the distance.
The small building surrounded by bamboo branches is Qingfeng building.
Lisheng did not come out to perform after the surprise dance that night. Instead, the enthusiasm of the guests grew stronger and stronger, waiting for mother Yun to make a bid for Lisheng on the first night. On weekdays, Lisheng hardly comes out of Qingfeng building. It’s like a transparent person in the whole Yunlan Pavilion. No one can see it except mother Yun. Two days ago, Zhou ziruo passed by Qingfeng building and saw it by chance.
At that time, Lisheng still covered his face with red gauze, stood on the terrace and looked into the distance. Noticing Zhou ziruo’s eyes, he turned back to the room. Although it was just a few eyes, it gave Zhou ziruo a strange feeling.
How to say
Although the body shape is the same, also treat people coldly. But compared with the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man who was later than the man.
…… It’s like two people.He gave him the burning comb that night. Did he find anything?
Back to the LAN Lou, Zijin took two porcelain plates and helped to set up the LAN Zhi cake. He said with regret: “if only Mr. Gu left two minutes later, he is a stranger and has never tasted the LAN Zhi cake from Tongyang city.”
“Mr. Gu? He’s here again? ”
“Well, I got another score and asked for my help to appreciate it.”
Speaking of Gu Jue, I can’t get rid of the sense of deja vu.
Who the hell is this man? Why can’t he remember? Although he saw only one side last time, he did have an impression of the sound.
