The Delicate Lady Coroner - Chapter 204
Bo Ruoyou started to have a fever when she returned to the city. After Ming Guilan asked for a pulse, she only said that she was invaded by cold evil after being frightened.
When Ming Guilan was outside, Huo Weilou carried the medicine bowl into the inner room. Bo Ruoyou’s cheeks were abnormally thin red, but her lips were a little bluish. She fell asleep for a while in the afternoon, and she was groggy at this time. of.
Huo Weilou lifted her up, fed her the medicine personally, and took some soup after drinking the medicine, only then regained a bit of anger.
“You haven’t moved a cup of tea in the house. I can’t help but go in and see. You are lying on the ground, as if you have been nightmare again.” The bottom of Huo Wei’s pupil was dark, and his eyebrows were unconsciously twisted.
Bo Ruoyou only felt that she was in a moment of confusion, but she didn’t know how long she was in the house. She raised her hand and stroked her eyebrows in Huo Wei Building, and said in a dumb voice, “Hou Lord is at ease. The medicine will heal.”
She glanced out, “Where’s Ming Gongzi?”
Huo Weilou looked suspicious, and Bo Ruoyou said, “Master Hou, I remembered a scene in a daze. According to my thoughts, it should be true.”
“Wounds on the murderer?”
“Yes, I was only five years old at the time. If I was chased by an adult man, I would never escape.” She slowly raised her right hand and moved her weak fingers, “Unless I hurt myself. He, although I am young, if he is unprepared, and I just touched a sharp weapon, he can see blood.”
Huo Weilou asked, “Where was the murderer’s injury, may I remember?”
Bo Ruoyou groaned for a moment, “I think I’m not tall, and I might trip on the ground. The murderer must squat down, and the injury…mostly will be on the murderer’s left arm, shoulder, or chest.”
Hearing her description, Huo Weilou’s eyes suddenly sharpened, “Left arm, shoulder and chest…”
He looked at Bo Ruoyou, “This is the place where Uncle Zhongyi was injured this time.”
Bo Ruoyou’s head was dizzy, and she didn’t think of it at first. When Huo Weilou said something like this, she was suddenly excited, “Yes, Uncle Zhongyi’s injury—”
Loyalty Bo was injured in alchemy. After hearing the report from the embroiderer, it was indeed like an accident. But this incident happened to the bones of the three suspects they found. It was originally weird. Now it is known that the murderer was injured in the past. Was it really an accident?
“Master Hou said, if he knows that we have found the three of them, and he is afraid that I will remember the old things, so he caused this accident to burn himself, so that he can cover up the old scars? If so, the scars left in the past will indeed be lost. Erase!”
Bo Ruoyou’s eyebrows are frowning, this is a scene she remembers easily, if Uncle Zhongyi really used this method to remove the scars, what should it be?
She sat up anxiously, “Severe burns will ulcerate the skin and flesh, and no matter how deep the old scars are, they will be hidden—”
“Don’t be anxious.” Huo Weilou took the pillow and let her lean against. “The more anxious the murderer, the more flaws he will reveal. He risked such an accident this time, but instead attracted our attention, even if the scars are gone, just use some In-depth investigation by means will surely find clues.”
Bo Ruoyou heard the smell, “How does Lord Hou do?”
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, “Since you remembered the injury, I will ask Cao Yan and Wei Huan to be investigated first. If these two are ruled out, Feng Qin’s suspicion has become even greater. He has been cultivating outside the city in recent years. It seems unusual to everyone, but killing people and collecting blood and setting up altars is absolutely impossible for these acts to be unremarkable. It’s just that everyone has never paid attention to it.”
Bo Ruoyou endured the headache, his thoughts fluttered in his mind, “But if the murderer is him, what is his motive? He has a pure heart in this life, a family background, but no love for official careers. Over the years, he has painstakingly cultivated Taoism, and it seems that he has no desires and no desires. “
Huo Weilou narrowed his eyes and thought, and soon he said with a slight cool voice: “He really concentrated on cultivating the Taoism. It seems that after the death of the Anyang Princess, he also gave up the official career in the middle of the court for the Anyang Princess.”
Suddenly, he said coldly: “Not only that, when his eldest son Feng Yu died, he was only five years old.”
Bo Ruoyou’s eyes trembled, “The victimized children are only a few years old. The technique of death can not only seek immortality, but also bring people back to life. Is it for his dead wife and children? ?”
“Anyone in the capital who knows Uncle Zhongyi knows that he has a deep affection for the Anyang princess, and he lost his wife and children back then, it is indeed possible that his heart was devilishly impeded and walked on a crooked road. Here I will order the director to conduct a detailed investigation. “
After speaking, he asked again, “Do you want to see Guilan?”
Bo Ruoyou nodded, “I have a question.”
Huo Weilou put on her robe, and got up to let Ming Guilan enter the inner room. Bo Ruoyou asked when he saw him: “The low cabinet that the son put in that room is the same as what he saw in the ruined temple back then?”
Ming Guilan nodded, “Almost the same. For this reason, I also went to Xiangguo Temple. In their Buddhist temple, the low cabinet where the incense candle scriptures is placed is that tall and short.”
Bo Ruoyou frowned, and Huo Weilou asked, “Is the cabinet weird?”
“There are no two people in the cabinet.” Bo Ruoyou thought of the darkness in the cabinet, and his heartstrings tightened unconsciously. The upper layer should be shorter and you can’t hide in. If I had hidden in with my brother, it would be impossible.”
Ming Guilan also said: “Before I found the low cabinet, I thought that if the cabinet was not divided, it would be nothing to hide two people, but in the temple of the Buddha, I wouldn’t put such an impractical cabinet.”
Bo Ruoyou coughed twice, “Every time I behave in an ignorant school brother, I always hide in. I guess that night, my brother did hide in, and I was with him, if only Can hide one person… or he can only hide.”
But if there is only one person hiding in the cabinet, where should she go?
Bo Ruoyou couldn’t think of it, but just said: “Li Shen’s confession is unreasonable, let alone being stabbed, and there is no wound on his body if he thinks about it. If it is mentioned, it will be exposed.”
She still couldn’t remember the whole picture of that night, but for Huo Weilou, it was enough.
As night fell slowly, the broken snow in the day turned into heavy snow, and the entire capital was covered with plain white covering the sky and the moon. After Ming Guilan asked Bo Ruoyou for his pulse, he left the house and Huo Weilou summoned his way. Ke and Sun Zhao, they don’t know what happened today, they only heard that the murderer was injured in Huo Wei’s corridor.
Lu Ke asked: “What does Hou Ye mean, first try to explore Wei Huan and Cao Yan?”
Huo Weilou nodded, “It shouldn’t be difficult.”
Lu Ke should be, and Huo Weilou looked at Sun Zhao again, “Can you find the stable woman that the yamen is looking for?”
Sun Zhao shook his head with a bitter face, “I haven’t found it yet, and it’s very likely that Po Wen is no longer in the world.”
Huo Weilou’s phoenix eyes narrowed, “In addition to investigating whether there are injuries on the two of them, we will also focus on checking Uncle Zhongyi’s Biezhuang Haosheng outside the city to see if he has renovated the house over the years. Reported on his unusual behavior, and in addition, sent someone to inquire about him and the Anyang princess to see if he had any female relatives around him over the years.”
Feng Qin doesn’t need to continue, but he is a big man, most of whom will have a concubine by his side. Huo Weilou wants to know how much Feng Qin has missed the Anyang County Lord over the years.
Sun Zhao and Lu Ke didn’t know why he checked Feng Qin and Anyang County lord, but they didn’t dare to ask more. So relieved.
The night is getting dark, Huo Wei said in the corridor: “Leave it tonight, so as not to toss on the road, I will send someone to tell Mr. Cheng.”
The fever on Bo Ruoyou’s forehead did not go away, and she was afraid that this look frightened Cheng Yunzhi, so she agreed. She is now resting in Huo Wei’s building, reminding her of being taken abducted and sick that day, and resting here. At that time, she didn’t know what Huo Weilou was thinking, but she felt quite frightened.
“I occupies Master Hou’s bed, and Master Lao Hou takes a break to go to the study.”
Huo Weilou touched her forehead and said helplessly, “Can’t I rest here?”
Bo Ruoyou’s face was blank, Huo Weilou pointed to the couch under the window in the distance, “You are sick, I will not disturb you, you are frightened today, I am afraid that something will happen again in the evening.”
Today, she was not irritated and confused, nor did she recall the situation of the night under horror. Bo Ruoyou’s heart is difficult to remove for many years, and she is afraid of illness in her sleep, but she did not expect that there will be this night. Huo Wei Tower was guarding, and she actually had a good night’s sleep.
After noon on the second day, Luke entered the Hou Mansion with exhaustion.
Bo Ruoyou was able to get up and listened to Luke’s report in the study with Huo Weilou.
“Last night, the subordinates learned from the investigation of the brothel painting boats that Cao Yan and Wei Huan had visited, and they found that they were both golden and precious, and there were no injuries on their bodies.”
Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou looked at each other, and Luke continued: “The time is too short. Nowadays, I haven’t found too many old things related to Anyang Princess. I only know that Uncle Zhongyi had been to Huai’an when he was the eldest son. At that time, I reunited with the Anyang princess who grew up, and he stayed in Prince Zhong’s Mansion for a few days, which probably resulted in friendship.”
“The two of them were quite beautiful after their marriage. The subordinate who left from Zhongyi Bo’s Mansion said that in the years after the marriage, the two of them were like glue. Because the Anyang princess gave birth to the first son, he suffered a loss. Taking the medicine by himself, he didn’t want to make Anyang County Lord happy again. Therefore, the second son of Bofu was five years younger than the older son.”
“Princess Anyang is weak. After she was pregnant with the second son, her body was not as good as before, and her mood was changeable, and she was quite irritable. It was also during that time that Bo Zhongyi changed many people, and Bo Zhongyi was quite considerate of her. He also pampered him, took care of everything personally, and even for this reason he did not allow the eldest son to bother his mother. After Anyang passed away, Uncle Zhongyi did not go out of the house for three months. At that time, a large number of servants were dismissed, and he really made it. There are days of pure heart and little desire.”
Lu Ke said so in one breath, he was also a little bit sighed, “After inquiring about the current servants of Uncle Zhongyi, he learned that Uncle Zhongyi has not had any female relatives by his side over the years. , And in the other villages outside the city, there are only a few rude envoys to take care of.”
There are only a few rude agents to take care of…
Although it shows that Uncle Zhongyi has cultivated the way, it also shows that there are few people in Zhuangzi, and it is easy to cover people’s eyes.
“But it’s a little weird. Uncle Zhongyi may be afraid of being touched by the scene. In recent years, I rarely go to the tombs of the Anyang princess and the old man. Every time in the Qingming period, I only let the second young man go to memorial service.”
Bo Ruoyou frowned in confusion, “Don’t go to the memorial?”
Luke nodded, “It was learned from the people in Bo’s House.”
Bo Ruoyou asked suddenly: “When did the Anyang princess and the eldest son pass away?”
“Under construction and the twelfth lunar month of fourteen years.”
Bo Ruo hurriedly went to see the Huo Wei Tower, and Huo Wei Lou’s eyes were also dark and difficult to see. “There are too many coincidences. The murderers are mostly in the winter. It’s like paying homage to their death day.”
At this time, Luke said again: “As for the other village outside the city, first of all, the location is very secluded. It is also very quiet and quiet. In recent years, Zhuangzi has hardly renovated, and he rarely invites people to visit Zhuangzi. But there are servants who buy medicinal ores. The only strange thing is that Uncle Zhongyi is a person who likes to be cool.”
Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, “What do you mean?”
Luke said, “Because he has few masters in Zhuangzi, the most confidant of us did not dare to seduce the snake. We only found two servants who had been shopping in Zhuangzi. Those two said that Uncle Zhongyi goes to Zhuangzi every summer. When they go to enjoy the cold, they will buy a lot of ice and send it to the village. The amount of ice used is almost the amount used by several prefectures in the city.”
Huo Weilou thought for a moment, “He likes alchemy, the alchemy must be sultry, and it’s normal to use more ice.”
Bo Ruoyou said: “The pill room is sultry all year round, so can he use ice in the spring and autumn?”
Lu Ke nodded, “It’s also used, but it’s less than in summer. Every year in winter, he will send someone to pick ice and send it to the Zhuangzi—”
Huo Weilou suddenly asked, “Did Nabofu ever use ice a lot?”
Luke hesitated. Seeing his expression, Huo Weilou knew that he hadn’t checked it carefully, so he told him, “Go and check the details, especially to check the difference between him in the mansion and not in the mansion, and you don’t have to check it for too long. Just check this year and last year, the time is not that long, I can find out if I want to.”
Lu Ke should be, Huo Weilou frowned and said, “Although there are doubts, it is not necessarily an important clue. What can I do with a lot of ice?”
Bo Ruoyou pondered for a long while without saying anything. At this moment, her eyes were filled with horror, “I used a lot of ice, I only thought of a somewhat shocking possibility—”
